Izumi | This is the first check point, or rest stop. A fair-sized audience has gathered! |
Itaru | Ahh, we've finally reached......! |
Azuma | My throat has gotten a little dry. Before the Street ACT, let's get something to drink ーー. |
??? | Hehehe......So our opponents have finally arrived. |
Izumi | Eh? |
??? | MANKAI Company......You're late. We're sick of waiting. |
Tsuzuru | Who are you? |
Aaron | I'm Aaron Maxwell. I'm the leader of the theatre troupe Scarecrow. |
| Heh......We'll be your opponents at this checkpoint. |
Yuki | ......These guys are our opponents? |
Tsuzuru | He's got a strong personality. |
Banri | Plus, he says he's called Aaron, but isn't he clearly Japanese? |
Itaru | Honestly, I don't hate that. |
Tsuzuru | Wait a minute! Please don't sympathise with him! |
Izumi | Huh? Where are Azuma-san and Hisoka-san? |
Banri | Taking a break over there. |
Tsuzuru | Where's their sense of cooperation! |
Aaron | Now! The competition judges have been waiting too. Let's start the battle immediately. |
| We'll go first......! |
| |
Yuki | Hmm...... |
Izumi | Amazing......! Even though his personality's so strong, his acting was extremely subtle......! |
Banri | No, wait, don't get moved by the enemy team. |
Aaron | Now, next is your turn. |
Tsuzuru | Eek, I haven't thought of a story. |
Hisoka | ......I can't do it without a setting. |
Yuki | Hold on, what are we going to do. |
Izumi | Uh, umm, err! |
Tsuzuru | ...... |
Yuki | ...... |
Izumi | ーー! Then, the theme is a pet shop! |
Tsuzuru | Hold on!? Director, you clearly just looked at our ears, didn't you! |
Izumi | S-Sorry! They came into my field of view for a moment......! |
Hisoka | A pet shop...... |
Itaru | Leaving it to the animal ear combo~. |
Banri | It fits with our costumes, so it's good. |
Izumi | Yeah! Everyone, work hard! |
Azuma | You were very cute in the last play, Yuki. It's in your hands. |
Yuki | Got it. ......I'll work hard, meow! |
| |
Banri | "Alright, there are no problems with your health!" |
Yuki | "......" |
Tsuzuru | "......" |
Banri | "Hm? What's wrong, you two; are you nervous?" |
| "Don't worry, the people who are going to take you guys today are really good people. I guarantee you'll be able to get along." |
Tsuzuru | "If that's what you say, Doctor, I'll believe you......but I'm nervous after all~" |
Yuki | "I wonder what kind of people our new masters are, meow.....My heart is pounding, meow." |
Banri | "Here they are." |
Hisoka | "Wow, they really are a cute cat and rabbit. We're not sure which to take, are we, nii-san." |
Itaru | "You can pick whichever one you like." |
Azuma | "Good boy, good boy, there, there. Mister rabbit, do you like the sound of the koto?" |
| "Won't you look at Japanese gardens and ink paintings or write haiku with me?" |
Tsuzuru | "Wow, they seem like an intellectual living in a grand mansion! I've never written a haiku or anything before! Did it go three-three-seven!?" |
Yuki | "Calm down, meow! That's the three-three-seven clapping beat, meow! Haikus are five-seven-five, meow!" |
Tsuzuru | "I-I see! But they seem like a good person, so I think it might go well if I'm with this owner." |
Yuki | "More importantly, the problem is these ones. The younger brother seems nice, but the older one is kind of scary......" |
Hisoka | "Then we might take this cat." |
Itaru | "I told you to pick whichever." |
Banri | "You say that, but......I know." |
| "You really love animals, and when nobody else is around ーー" |
| "You call out 'thwere thwere, you're a cwoot one~!' in baby talk!" |
Hisoka | "Yeah, you're really soft on them." |
Itaru | "Y-You knew!?" |
Yuki | "Ah, it was a pointless fear, meow. It looks like I'll be happy with these owners too, meow." |
Audience Member A | Ahaha! |
Audience Member B | Aw man, I love it! |
| |
Audience Member A | The kitty and all were super cute! |
Audience Member B | I was smiling at how cheerful they were! I want to see the continuation! |
Judge | It seems MANKAI Company has the highest ratings with the audience. |
Aaron | Guh......! Damn you......! |
