Sakuya | Good morning! |
Tsuzuru | Morning. |
Citron | Morning. |
Itaru | Morning. |
Masumi | ..... |
Sakyo | ..... |
Sakuya | !? |
Tsuzuru | Oi, that guy... |
Sakuya | He's that debt collector, right. Why is he here...? |
Citron | Call him, Tsuzuru. |
Tsuzuru | No! Masumi, do it. |
Masumi | .... |
Tsuzuru | Don't ignore me! |
Itaru | Sum-mon Di-rec-tor☆ |
Izumi | Morning, guys—. |
Tsuzuru | You're amazing, Itaru-san. |
Sakyo | .... |
Izumi | !! |
| What's your business here? We will be performing the play this month as promised. |
Sakyo | Have the tickets for the final performance sold out yet? |
Izumi | That, That is——. |
Sakyo | You fail even if there's only one empty seat. |
Izumi | I get it already! |
Sakyo | Hmph. Good, then. |
Sakuya | That guy only came here to say that. |
Tsuzuru | He has a bad personality. |
Masumi | Annoying. |
Itaru | Have we not sold all the tickets for our final performance? |
Izumi | We sold more than the other days, but... |
Tsuzuru | It's tough. |
Sakuya | Is there another way for us to sell the tickets? |
Citron | What if we include a handshake ticket as a bonus? |
Izumi | It'd be effective if we already have fans... |
Itaru | We just started, so we're not that popular yet. |
Izumi | Uggh... |
Kazunari | Good workie—! |
Tsuzuru | Huh? What are you doing here, Miyoshi-san? |
Kazunari | I'm here to support you guys, yeah? I wonder how you're feeling right now—. |
Tsuzuru | Is that so.... |
Kazunari | Huh, the atmosphere is kinda gloomy here? |
Tsuzuru | The tickets are not selling as well as we thought, so we're thinking about how to advertise... |
Kazunari | For real? The theatre will be destroyed if the tickets are not selling, right? That's really bad. |
Tsuzuru | That's why, now that you know our situation, it's not the time for Miyoshi-san to——. |
Kazunari | Ah! I have an idea! TV! Isn't it good if you appear on TV? |
Izumi | TV? But it's not easy to do that, you know? |
Kazunari | Ah, not at all! I know someone! |
Izumi | You have an acquaintance who works at a TV station....? |
Kazunari | I'm going to call them. Bye, good luck! |
Izumi | Ah, wait——. |
| He came and went so suddenly. |
Tsuzuru | He's always like that. |
Masumi | He's shady. |
Izumi | Hmm, but it'd be really good if we can appear on TV. |
| |
| Well then, let's take an hour break——. |
??? | Excuse me! |
Izumi | ?? |
??? | Good afternoon. I'll be in your care today. |
Izumi | Who are you??? |
Sakuya | Camera? |
Tsuzuru | What is happening? |
Anzai | My name is Anzai, the director for Velvet TV. We came here for "The Show" coverage——. |
Izumi | Coverage!? TV Station!? |
Anzai | Have you not been informed? |
Izumi | No... |
Anzai | That's weird. We've already contacted the manager... |
Tsuzuru | I bet he forgot about it... |
Izumi | He forgot it... |
Sakuya | But if they came here for TV coverage, then Kazunari-san did contact his acquaintance. |
Itaru | That's surprising. I didn't expect it at all. |
Tsuzuru | That guy's parents know a lot of people. |
Itaru | Parents' connection, huh. |
Anzai | Can I do the coverage, then? |
Izumi | Of course! Please take care of us! |
| |
Anzai | All right, roll the camera. |
Reporter | Okay! Today we came to the practice room of MANKAI Company, an old theatre company that staged a big brilliant comeback. |
| First, we'll be interviewing the president as well as director Tachibana-san. The members for this performance are all new members, right? |
Izumi | Yes. We built the play with the new members. |
Reporter | I heard that the play is an arranged version of Romeo and Juliet. Would you like to share the highlights of it? |
Izumi | It's a friendship story between a male Juliet and Romeo. Please come and watch it. |
Reporter | Thank you. Next, we'd like to continue interviewing the cast of the play. |
| First up are the main and co-protagonists, Sakuya Sakuma-kun and Masumi Usui-kun. |
Sakuya | P-p-p-p-p-p-please take care of me! |
Izumi | (He's stiff.) |
Masumi | Hello. |
Reporter | This time, your friendship is the main highlight here. Do you think that your breathing patterns are already perfectly in sync? |
Sakuya | Of-of-of-of of course! Right, Masumi-kun!? |
Masumi | ...Not really. |
Sakuya | Eeeeh!? |
Reporter | Ahaha. Your dialogue is perfect. |
| We heard that the play script was written by Mercutio's actor, Tsuzuru Minagi-san——. |
Tsuzuru | ——. |
Reporter | Tsuzuru-san? |
Tsuzuru | Ah, yes. I wro, I wrot——I wrote it. |
Izumi | (Tsuzuru-kun is super nervous.) |
Reporter | Is there any difficulty that you come across as an actor and the playwright? |
Tsuzuru | We, well——I was given a short time to write the script, so it was a little bit hard, but it was fun and worth it. |
Reporter | I see, so that made you feel motivated. Next is Tybalt's actor, Itaru Chigasaki-san. |
Itaru | I'll be in your care. |
Reporter | Whoah, you're handsome—! |
Itaru | Haha, thank you. |
| I think girls will enjoy our performance a lot since the cast is all men. Please come and watch it. |
Izumi | (How neat, Itaru-san...! I didn't even think about our final performance....) |
Reporter | Next is——ughh, the Father's actor, Citron-san? |
Citron | Yes. |
Sakuya | Why do you cover your face with a mask, Citron-san? |
Tsuzuru | Since when!? |
Citron | I can't appear on TV without wearing makeup. |
Tsuzuru | Are you a girl!? |
Reporter | Is the Father's role like this? |
Tsuzuru | It doesn't have anything to do with his role! |
| |
Anzai | All right, that's a wrap. |
| Thank you for today. I'll be in your care again if anything happens. |
Izumi | Me too! |
Reporter | Good luck on your performance. |
Izumi | Thank you! |
| |
Sakuya | Haa—, I was nervous... |
Tsuzuru | I didn't even know what I said. |
Citron | Somehow, I feel more suffocated than usual. |
Tsuzuru | Isn't that because of your mask!? |
Itaru | It'd be good if our appearance shows some effect. |
Izumi | You're right. I hope we can sell more tickets... |
