Arrogant-looking Boy | This theater is really wrecked... |
Izumi | Do you want to participate in the audition too? |
Arrogant-looking Boy | Well, yeah, and you are? |
Izumi | I'm Tachibana, the director as well as the president of this theater. Nice to meet you. |
Arrogant-looking Boy | Hmmm, you're really young. |
Izumi | (This guy strangely has a dignified presence, what an arrogant kid...) |
| Okay then, please line up here and tell me your name. |
Tenma | ...Tenma Sumeragi. |
Izumi | !? |
Sakuya | I've seen this guy on TV before! |
Kazunari | A celeb! Amaziing! |
| He's that actor, Tenma Sumeragi, right? |
Sakisaka | He started off as a child actor and even though he's only a high school student, he's got 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry. |
Yuki | Oh. |
Tenma | ...You must be living under a rock if you don't know me. |
Yuki | Hah? |
Kazunari | Give me your sign, Tenten! |
Tenma | ...Tenten? I don't mind giving sign, though. |
Izumi | (To think that such a celeb would come to our audition....) |
| |
Izumi | We will begin our audition now. First off, I'd like you to introduce yourself one by one and tell me about your acting experience. |
Yuki | Yuki Rurikawa, third year of middle school. I don't have any acting experience. |
Tenma | So you're younger than me. |
Yuki | So what? |
Tenma | You're by no means polite. |
Yuki | Haaaah? |
Kazunari | 'Kay, 'kay. Next up is me. I'm Kazunari Miyoshi. I'm in my second year of college and just like Yukki, I have no experience in acting. |
Izumi | Next is uh... Sakisaka-kun? |
Muku | Ah, yes! My name is Muku Sakisaka and I'm in my third year of middle school. As for acting experience, I don't have it. |
Tenma | You're just a bunch of amateurs. Do you really want to take part in this audition? |
Izumi | Last is Tenma-kun. |
Tenma | I don't have to introduce myself again, right? I've already done it, after all. |
Izumi | I'd like to hear it once more, and I want to know about your acting experience in theater. |
Tenma | ....Tenma Sumeragi, second year of high school. Even though I have 15 years experience of acting... I've never tried performing in theater before. |
Izumi | Never? Not even once? |
Tenma | I'm originally a movie actor. |
Kazunari | Whoah, cooool! Tenten's parents are also movie stars, so he doesn't have to do such a thing like promotion! |
Tenma | ....Well, yeah. |
Izumi | (He looks really committed, but why would a celeb like him participate in our audition...) |
| |
Izumi | Okay, now I'd like you to perform a simple task. |
Tenma | By task, do you mean on this stage? |
Izumi | Yeap. Is that okay with you....? |
Tenma | If it's only a "task", I'm ok with it. |
Izumi | Is something the matter? |
Tenma | No, it's nothing. |
Izumi | ? |
| Okay then, I'd like each of you to show four different emotions through the line, "good morning." |
| First off is Yuki-kun. |
Yuki | All right. |
| "Good morning." |
| "Good morning!" |
| "Good morning...." |
| "Morning~" |
| Like that? |
Izumi | Yup, that's fine. |
| (Not only he has courage, but he's also quick-witted. There was nothing wrong with my judgement after all!) |
| Then next is... |
Tenma | What a noob. |
Yuki | Hah? Why do you keep on... |
Izumi | Wait a minute, Tenma-kun. We're in the middle of a audition here, let me finish my talk. |
Tenma | Hmph. |
Izumi | Next up is Kazunari-kun. |
Kazunari | Oui! Four different emotions, huh. First is.. |
| "Good morning!" |
| "G-o-o-d m-o-r-n-i-n-g." |
| "Good morning..." |
| "Yo~." |
Izumi | You changed the lines in the end, but it's all right. |
| (I have a good feeling about Kazunari-kun too.) |
Tenma | You're too lenient. |
Yuki | ....Annoying. |
Tenma | Hah? What did you just say? |
Izumi | Okay! Muku-kun, you're next! |
Muku | Ah, yes! |
| "Go, good morning." ... |
Izumi | Was that joyful just now? |
Muku | Eh, ah, sorry! |
Izumi | It's okay, you don't have to apologize. |
Muku | Yes... |
| "Good morning." |
| "Good morning..." |
| "Good morning." |
| "Good morning!" |
Izumi | You're doing good. |
| (He's not as showy as the other two, but he has some delicacy on his act. If he works on it, I think it can be his strength!) |
Tenma | (sigh).... |
Muku | !!! So, sorry.... |
Izumi | Eh? What's wrong? There's nothing to apologize, see? |
Yuki | That's because the crappy actor over there keeps on sighing. So annoying. |
Tenma | Oi, who are you calling crappy actor? |
Yuki | Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm referring to certain lame orange head. |
Tenma | Haah!? |
Muku | Wa, wait a minute, Rurikawa-kun. It's okay, my acting is as poor as a radish in miso soup after all.... |
Yuki | Don't think too low of yourself. |
Izumi | Muku-kun, even Miso and radish are good, you know. |
| Next is Tenma-kun. Help yourself. |
Tenma | Hmph. |
Yuki | After all those insults, you better show us something good, you know? Hurry up and do it. |
Tenma | ..... |
Izumi | (The atmosphere around him changed....?) |
Tenma | "Good morning." |
| "Good morning." |
| "Good morning." |
| "Good morning." |
Yuki | .... |
Izumi | (Amazing... He could express four different emotions even without changing the lines nor doing it over-the-top.) |
| (He's not in the level of someone who only has experiences in acting. He's a professional. His personality may be a little bit difficult to handle, but there's no doubt that he has the ability.) |
