Masumi | .... |
Izumi | We're home. |
Sakuya | Ah, welcome back! |
Citron | Welcome. |
Itaru | Welcome. |
Tsuzuru | Did you ma——I guess not. |
Izumi | Yeah, a lot of things happened. |
Sakuya | Are you okay, Masumi-kun? |
Masumi | .... |
Tsuzuru | It's getting worse. |
Itaru | Huh? Isn't your cheek a little bit red, Director? |
Izumi | .... |
Masumi | .... |
Tsuzuru | Just spill what really happened already. |
Masumi | .... |
Izumi | (I wonder if he'll find it easier to talk if I'm not here.) |
| I'm going back to my room. |
| |
Citron | Masumi, I'll turn off the light. |
Tsuzuru | You don't have to do that. |
Itaru | It'll only get worse if you keep it to yourself, Masumi. |
Masumi | ...I want to die. |
Sakuya | Whaaat!? |
Tsuzuru | Oi oi, what happened? |
Masumi | I can't live anymore... I got my heart broken. |
Sakuya | Your heart broken!? By whom!? |
Tsuzuru | Could it Director? |
Masumi | Yeah.... |
Tsuzuru | Did you confess to her? |
Masumi | No. |
Itaru | Did Director get herself a boyfriend, then? |
Masumi | If that's the case, I'll kill him. |
Tsuzuru | Calm dowm! |
Citron | I know! Actually, Director is already married! |
Masumi | I'll perish, then... |
Tsuzuru | Whoah, wait wait! |
Sakuya | What happened, then? |
Masumi | .... |
| It all started yesterday... |
| |
Sakuya | You didn't get your heart broken, then. |
Tsuzuru | It's just a misunderstanding. |
Citron | You just bumped to conclusions. |
Sakuya | Bumped to conclusions? |
Itaru | I think he means jumped to conclusions. |
Citron | Oh, that's right. |
Tsuzuru | I experienced it too, you know—. Having an unrequited love makes you think about a lot of bad things, right. |
Sakuya | Heh, is that so—. |
Citron | I've never had an unrequited love. |
Tsuzuru | Seriously!? So you still haven't had your first love? |
Citron | Girls always approach me first. |
Tsuzuru | Citron-san is popular, huh.... |
Itaru | I didn't expect that Tsuzuru once had an unrequited love. |
Tsuzuru | I only watched them from afar. |
Itaru | Well, maybe having an unrequited love is the most enjoyable thing. |
Tsuzuru | An adult's remarks, huh! |
Itaru | It'll be hard to play games when you date someone. |
Tsuzuru | So it's just an otaku's comment... |
|
Sakuya | But at this rate, you'll never be able to talk to Director, you know, Masumi-kun? |
Masumi | ....I don't know what to say. |
Sakuya | Just apologising is fine. Say that you're sorry for hitting her. |
Masumi | I was totally hated. |
Sakuya | She'll forgive you if you apologise. I'll go with you! |
Masumi | .... |
Tsuzuru | Sakuya looks like a big brother, somehow. |
Sakuya | Eh!? A big brother, me? |
Itaru | You're right. |
Citron | Masumi is the li'l brother. |
Sakuya | I see. A little brother, huh—. I don't have any siblings, so it makes me happy! |
Masumi | I'll go by myself. |
Sakuya | Ah, wait a sec! I'm worried, so let's go together! |
Tsuzuru | They completely become a nice combi. |
Itaru | Maybe it's the effect of RomiJuli. |
| |
Izumi | (I wonder if I really should leave the matter of Masumi-kun to the others...) |
| Yes? |
Masumi | It's me. |
Izumi | Masumi-kun... Have you finally become interested in talking to me already? |
Masumi | ..... |
Sakuya | Come on, Masumi-kun! |
Masumi | Sorry for just now. |
Izumi | Huh? |
Masumi | For avoiding you and hitting you... |
Izumi | Ah, I don't mind. You got mad at them because of me right? |
Masumi | You're not angry? |
Izumi | Nope. More importantly, Masumi-kun was concerned about what I said, right? When I told you not to act for my sake. |
Masumi | ....Rather than being concerned, it's more like I didn't know. |
Izumi | You didn't know? |
Masumi | I wondered what I should do. I wondered for what purpose I should act. |
Izumi | I wanted Masumi-kun to like theatre. I wanted you to find reasons beside me for you to continue doing theatre. |
| I've already put it in your special menu, right? I told you to find a play that you like. |
| And since then, your acting has gotten better. I thought that you've already found what you like, but... |
Masumi | If it's about my favourite performance, I have a lot. |
Izumi | Huh? Is that so? |
Masumi | Your performances. |
Izumi | My...? |
Masumi | I really liked your performance when you did the street act in the Veludo Way, so I just worked as hard as you. |
Izumi | My performances...? But they're horrible and awful. |
Masumi | It doesn't matter to me. |
Izumi | ——. |
| (Somehow, I always thought that there was nothing I could do as an actor, but I guess I was wrong.) |
| (I could make Masumi-kun find his talent and start doing theatre.) |
| (....My skills may be horrible and awful, but that alone is enough.) |
| (I don't have any regrets as an actor anymore. I can walk with confidence as a director.) |
| ...Thanks, Masumi-kun. |
Masumi | For what? |
Izumi | Nothing. It's good that you already found the performances that you like. |
Masumi | ...I like you. |
Izumi | Yeah, thank you for liking my perf——. |
Masumi | ——. |
Izumi | Your face is too close, you know!? |
Masumi | I like you... |
Izumi | ——!! |
Sakuya | Whoaah—! You can't do that, Masumi-kun! Stop! You have to get the other party's agreement to do that! |
Masumi | You're in the way, Sakuya. |
Sakuya | Because it'll be a crime if you——eh, huh? Did you call my name just now? |
Izumi | Ah, now that I think about it... |
Sakuya | This is the first time you called my name...! |
Masumi | Shut up. |
Sakuya | I'm happy, Masumi-kun! |
Masumi | Annoying. |
Izumi | (I was surprised... I thought he was going to kiss me just now.) |
| (But thank goodness. Compared to the first day, Masumi-kun is getting more and more comfortable with the others.) |
| (I hope Masumi-kun can enjoy acting more and stand on the stage...) |
