Izumi | Let’s get practice started. |
Tasuku | … |
Azuma | … |
Izumi | (The mood here is awful as always. The opening day is just around the corner… This isn’t good.) |
Tsumugi | I don’t think that practice would go well if we keep things going like this. |
Izumi | I agree… |
Tasuku | …*sigh*. Let’s move on. Regardless of how we really feel, we shouldn’t bring it to practice. |
Azuma | Regardless of how we really feel. |
Tasuku | What? |
Azuma | I don’t mind quitting if my being here is detrimental to our reputation. |
Izumi | Azuma-san――!? |
Tasuku | Where did that come from? I didn’t say anything like that. |
Azuma | Either way, it’s not untrue that I sleep with my clients regardless of who they are. And among those people there may have been someone involved with GOD-za. |
Tasuku | Please cut that out. You were the one that doubted me first to begin with. |
| Besides, suddenly saying that you’re quitting… What’s the big idea? It’s the same as when you said you were moving out. You’re too irresponsible. |
Izumi | Azuma-san has his own circumstances— |
Azuma | It’s fine, Director. |
Homare | —Can I have a word? |
Izumi | Homare-san? |
Homare | Why don’t you let me sort things out? |
| First, Azuma-san. |
| It seems that you either feel inferior regarding your suspicious job as a sleeping partner, or it could be that you are concerned about how the other members view you for your occupation. [1] |
Azuma | … |
Tsumugi | Homare-san, that way of saying things is a bit— |
Homare | Secondly, Tasuku-kun. |
| It appears as if the fact that you used to be in GOD-za bothers you more than we thought. That is also the reason why you did not nominate yourself for the leader position, is it not? |
| You are afraid of being doubted. And that is why, in order to protect yourself, you are being overly aggressive. |
Tasuku | ―― |
Homare | And Hisoka-kun. You do not have any memories and so even if you are doubted, you do not have any excuse. I assume that you are keeping quiet because of that – you are afraid of being targeted with suspicion. |
Hisoka | … |
Homare | And it appears that Tsumugi-kun has not gotten over the trauma of failing to enter GOD-za. |
| That is the reason why he cannot come forward to resolve this conflict assertively as the leader. |
Tsumugi | … |
Tasuku | … |
Izumi | (Everyone got quiet… He may have been right on the mark, but this way of saying things is just…) |
Azuma | …Sorry, let me take the day off from practice for today. |
Tasuku | …I’ll do the same. |
Hisoka | … |
Tsumugi | …Homare-san. There are things you can and can’t say. |
Homare | ―― |
Tsumugi | I’ll go cool off as well. |
Homare | … |
Izumi | Homare-san, all the things you said may have been true. But they’re all things that everyone didn’t want to hear. |
Homare | …I made a mistake again. |
Izumi | …Again? |
Homare | I do not understand people’s minds. Just like a broken cyborg. |
