| Izumi | Celebrating the success of the mix performance—cheers! |
| Sakyo | Cheers. |
| Citron | Cheers~! |
| Guy | Cheers. |
| Azuma | Nice work. |
| Izumi | But wow, a celebration trip—this is fancy. |
| Sakyo | This is an exception. We didn’t have to pay for hotel fees, after all. |
| Citron | I’m so glad we didn’t end up at a chain izakaya! |
| Guy | We really almost did. |
| Sakyo | There are no funds for closing parties. We had to pay travel fees this time, so of course we’d want to choose a cheap store. |
| Izumi | Thank goodness Azuma-san set us up with a terrace bar. |
| Azuma | We came all the way to Kyoto, after all. Plus, we couldn’t visit last time because of the rain. |
| Sakoda | Aniki! |
| Sakyo | Yeah. |
| Izumi | I’m glad you could make it this time, Sakoda-san. |
| Sakoda | I’m so grateful! |
| Sakyo | If we didn’t take him, he would’ve dumped another carton of energy drinks on us. There was no other choice. |
| Izumi | The energy drinks were a huge help throughout the performance. |
| Azuma | I was on stage the entire time this performance, so my stamina was running low. |
| Citron | Shikigami have to fight, too, so that’s a lot of work. |
| Guy | And it was easy to trip up in these costumes. |
| Sakoda | The fight scenes were super cool! |
| Izumi | I agree. They looked otherworldly and beautiful, thanks to the costumes. |
| Sakyo | The emotional exhaustion took more of a toll for me. |
| Because my feelings would become one with Seimei’s during the emotional climax, and that got really depressing. |
| It took a lot of energy to recover for the next performance. |
| Sakoda | Yeah, I felt Seimei-Aniki’s pain and ended up crying during the climax of every performance! |
| Izumi | The story is a bit different from Autumn Troupe’s usual style; the emotional range might also have been wider. |
| Citron | It’s a Winter Troupe-like story! |
| Sakyo | Speaking of which, it was strange how different I felt during the run of the performance, too. |
| Azuma | You mean Seimei’s feelings? |
| Sakyo | No, I’m talking about backstage. |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san is always scolding Autumn Troupe as their oldest member, after all.) |
| Were you able to relax and lean on the other members a little more than usual? |
| Sakyo | Yeah, maybe.... |
| Citron | It’s a quantity of the oldest members! |
| Guy | Quality. |
| Azuma | You can lean on me more, you know? |
| Sakyo | I can’t lean on you when I don’t even know if you’re older than me. If you want me to lean on you, just tell me your age. |
| Azuma | Fufu, eventually. |
| |
| Azuma | By the way, Tsumugi and Tasuku were chatting away endlessly about acting for film. |
| Guy | Their eyes always light up when it’s about theater. |
| Citron | As expected of the theater nerds. |
| Azuma | They asked me if I wanted to join the workshop with them. How about you, Guy? |
| Guy | There’s a little something I want to do. |
| Citron | Something you want to do? |
| Guy | I’ll tell you when it’s decided. |
| |
| Sakyo | ...Sigh. |
| Izumi | Huh? What happened to Sakoda-san? |
| Sakyo | He’s smashed over there. |
| Sakoda | Snzzzz~. |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Would you like another drink, Sakyo-san? |
| Sakyo | Yeah. |
| ...Phew. |
| Izumi | Once again, nice work during the performance. |
| Sakyo | There is a certain pressure playing the lead that gets to you once you’re done. But the sense of accomplishment is also incredible.... |
| Izumi | Remember what we were talking about back there? Lean on me, too; I’m the lead director. |
| Sakyo | Hmph, you’re cheeky. |
| Izumi | Also, the story behind your name is lovely, Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | Is there a story to yours? |
| Izumi | I wonder...? I’ll try asking next time. |
| Names truly are amazing. Sakyo-san seems like a Sakyo-san; Azuma-san seems like an Azuma-san.... |
| Sakyo | They kept messing with me, saying that if fate had taken a different turn, I would’ve been Ukyo-kun. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, Ukyo-san, huh? That’s not bad either. But I like your name, Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san? Would you like water instead? |
| Sakyo | Stop being cheeky. |
| I think your name’s pretty nice, too.... Izumi. |
| Izumi | ——. |
| Sakyo | Just the name, though. |
| Izumi | What do you mean, just the name! |
| Sakyo | ...Well, I do like my name quite a bit, so. I’ll pay a visit in thanks tomorrow. |
| Izumi | To the shrine where your name originated, right? We need to thank them for your name, and for making the performance a success. |
| Sakyo | ...While we’re at it, I guess I’ll draw a paper fortune. |
| Izumi | Yes! We should all draw fortunes together! |
