| Manager | In that case, I shall contact the one who's teaching at a theater school right now. |
| He's a busy person, though, so I don't know if I can get hold of him.. |
| Izumi | I'm counting on you! |
| |
| Izumi | Sakuya-kun, your position is wrong. |
| Sakuya | Ah, sorry. |
| Citron | Don't mind. |
| Tsuzuru | It's all right, it's all right. |
| Izumi | (We just started our actual practice, but I feel like everyone is taking it easy...) |
| Masumi | Romeo comes on stage from the left. |
| Sakuya | Ah, sorry! |
| Citron | Don't mind. |
| Itaru | Ah, I'm going to the bathroom for a bit. |
| Tsuzuru | He'll play games for sure... |
| Izumi | ... |
| (...If this goes on, our debut performance may fail.) |
| Sakuya | "Let's go on a journey together, Julius. Let's run out of this cramped town and travel around the world." |
| Izumi | (I feel sorry to spoil this nice atmosphere, but I have to steel their——.) |
| ??? | Hey, is this a kindergarten playground? |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| ??? | I can't watch this anymore. |
| Izumi | Who are you? This place is off limits to unauthorized personnel. |
| ??? | Haaah? I should be the one asking——, hmm? Ahh, you must be Director's daughter! You've grown so much, huh! |
| Izumi | Director... |
| ??? | Matsukawa——Ah, he's the manager now, came crying to me. He asked me to come and teach the new members a lesson! |
| Izumi | Then, you're a member of the first generation——!? |
| ??? | Yeah, I'm one of the first generation Spring Troupe's members, Yuzo Kashima. |
| Masumi | He's a yakuza by all appearances. |
| Citron | Oh, one of Japanese's specialities. |
| Kamekichi | You're getting old, Yuzo. |
| Yuzo | Oh, Kamekichi. It's been a while. Your tongue is as sharp as ever. |
| Kamekichi | It's not as bad as you. |
| Sakuya | If Kamekichi also knows him, then he's really a member of the first generation Spring Troupe. |
| Yuzo | Hey, let's get it started already. I'm your very first audience, so you should be grateful. |
| Izumi | All right then, let's start from the very beginning, guys. |
| Sakuya | Y-yes! I'll be in your care! |
| |
| Yuzo | ... |
| Izumi | How is it? |
| Yuzo | *sigh*, I wanted to get up and leave 300 times. |
| Tsuzuru | That really sums up our level... |
| Yuzo | That's right. Being forced to hear you reciting lines like that is just painful to the audience. |
| First, the foreigner. |
| Citron | Me? |
| Yuzo | You may only have five lines, but if you can't even get it right, then your level is worse than a toddler. |
| If you can't even say your lines properly, don't even think to strive for an acting career in Japan. |
| Citron | Ooh... |
| Sakuya | Don't say something like that. Citron-san is an international student, so he's still learning Japanese. I'm sure if he practices more... |
| Yuzo | Lines and Japanese are two different things. If you think like that, our audience may think differently. It'll ruin the whole thing. |
| Next is Mercutio. I get what you're trying to say, but you're just spinning your wheels. Are you not familiar with script? |
| Tsuzuru | I'm the playwright. |
| Yuzo | Ah, that's why. You're just reciting the lines for yourself. You have to try communicating with the audience. It's not only for your own satisfaction. |
| Tsuzuru | Wha——. |
| Yuzo | Next is Tybalt. I don't have anything to say to this guy. |
| Itaru | Eh? |
| Yuzo | If you don't have any motivation to act, get off the stage. That's all. |
| Itaru | ... |
| Yuzo | Next, Julius. |
| Masumi | ... |
| Yuzo | I don't know what you're thinking about, but you're glancing at Director's daughter too much. |
| Your acting is not that great anyway, so stop showing off. Your acting is boring. |
| Masumi | What? |
| Izumi | (Even Masumi-kun...) |
| Sakuya | Even Masumi-kun is not good... |
| Tsuzuru | He's mercilous... |
| Yuzo | You think he'd pass? Don't underestimate acting, amateurs. |
| Lastly, the protagonist Romeo. |
| Sakuya | Y-Yes! |
| Yuzo | You got different problems. You don't even understand how to act on stage despite being the protagonist. Start over from the bottom. |
| Sakuya | ... |
| Yuzo | That's all I have to say for now. I'll come and watch you again when I'm free. |
| Sakuya | ... |
| Tsuzuru | ... |
| Citron | ... |
| Itaru | ... |
| Masumi | Annoying... |
| Izumi | (Everyone is completely depressed. Maybe he's going too far...) |
| Yuzo | Ah, right——Hey, you. |
| Izumi | Yes? |
| Yuzo | ...Don't worry about that Romeo. I'm sure he'll improve. |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Yuzo | Basically, whether he lives or dies is up to you. You hold the responsibility for making this whole situation, so do something about it. |
| Izumi | ——. |
| (That's right. Everyone is no good because I couldn't guide them properly——.) |
| ——I have to buckle down and do my best. |
| Yuzo | That's the spirit. |
| ...I wish I could show Yukio-san how you are right now. |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Yuzo | Nothing. |
| Izumi | Do you happen to know anything about my dad? |
| Yuzo | I can't say anything about that. Sorry. |
| Izumi | ... |
