Previous	Main Story	Next
Izumi ("There's something I want to tell you, so meet me later on the balcony," so he said...) (Why did Itaru-san send such a message? I wonder if there's something that he want to consult.) Itaru Oh, you're already here. Izumi Yeah. What do you want to talk about? Itaru I thought it'd be better to tell this to Director first. I've been considering this a lot, and I decided to quit the theater. Izumi What!? Itaru I originally joined this theater because I thought I could spend my rent and food expense money on online games. Besides, I don't have any interest in theater. I thought maybe I could go to practice and play a supporting role. Izumi So that was your reason.... Itaru But there are so many lines, and everyone really tries their best. It makes me feel out of place. I think if I leave now, you still have time to search for a replacement. Izumi .... Itaru Therefore, I'm going to tell everyone to——. Izumi ——Please wait a sec!! Do you really not have any interest in theater even now? So you don't care if you can't stand on stage with the other guys? Itaru .... Izumi (Itaru-san is looking away. I'm sure he's motivated to do theater.) And you never skipped the morning practices, right? Itaru But that was because of my game... Izumi If it was only for games, you wouldn't show up to morning practices. You even did the special practice menu that I made for you. Itaru ..... To be honest, I felt like I was a little bit affected by everyone. I thought that it'd be better to do my best and reduce my game time until our performance. Izumi Then——! Itaru But I think it's no good. Izumi Why!? Itaru Unlike Sakuya or Tsuzuru, I can't open up to them and do my best. I'm not good at socializing with people. I don't really like communal life. That's why it's impossible for me to put my entire heart and spirit into theater like everyone. Izumi Is that your real reason? Itaru I can't go on like this, obviously. I'll just be a bother to everyone. Izumi So it's not like you don't care about everyone or the performance. Itaru Well, yeah. I did practice together with those guys even though it was brief. Izumi That's why I want you to wait a little bit more. Itaru So it still doesn't work? Izumi Please reconsider it. Itaru But I think I'll only cause trouble later on. Izumi I'll hold the responsibility. (I've seen a lot of people giving up on theater after so long, but Itaru-san is different from them. He's still hesitating.) (I'm sure a part of him still wants to keep going.) Itaru ...Fine. I'll put it on hold. Izumi Can I talk about this with the others? Itaru Sure. I intend to talk to them anyway. Sakuya Eeeh!? Citron Oh, bad news. Tsuzuru Seriously... Masumi Hmmm. Sakuya Are you going to quit for real!? Itaru I'm still deferring it, though. Tsuzuru But I wrote Tybalt with the image of Itaru-san, you know? Itaru Sorry for that. Citron Itaru is troubled too. I feel you. Masumi ....Just quit if you want to quit. Tsuzuru Oi, Masumi! Sakuya Masumi-kun, are you okay even if Itaru-san quits!? Masumi It's better for him to quit if he doesn't have any motivation. That old man also said that. Tsuzuru Yuzo-san, huh... Itaru Yup yup. I think it's the right time. But rest assured, I'll support you all even after I quit. Sakuya You still haven't decided whether to quit or not, right!? Itaru Well, yeah. Tsuzuru If you come to understand that theater is more fun than games, will you still decide to quit? Itaru I won't understand. There is nothing more enjoyable than games. Citron You have a point, though. Games are the best entertainment. Sakuya Theater is just as fun! Itaru ....So Sakuya and I also have different degrees of enthusiasm. Sakuya ..... Izumi Everyone has the same passion for theater. There's no comparison. More importantly, all that matters right now is whether Itaru-san wants to keep doing theater alongside everyone. Itaru ..... Izumi What's your answer? Itaru ...I'll think about it. Izumi Okay. Please take your time. Itaru ....
