Manager Everyone, we still have some leftovers if you want a second helping~. Tenma .... Yuki ..... Kazunari I'm full~. Muku Thank you for the food. Misumi Thanks for the food~. Izumi (Everyone is completely gloomy...!) Guys, we'll be fine as long as we do it like usual. I'm sure we'll do well tomorrow! Tenma ..... Yuki ..... Kazunari I know, right~. Muku You're right... Misumi Let's do our best~. Yuki Is it fine to not hold a meeting, Tenma? Tenma ...Yeah. Izumi Ah, Tenma-kun--. Yuki What's with him? Muku Tenma-kun isn't giving up, is he... Kazunari Tenten wouldn't do something like that! Yuki But look at him now. Kazunari Could, could it be... Izumi (Is he all right...? I'm going to talk with him for a bit.) Izumi (Eh? His room is pitch dark... Tenma-kun hasn't come back to his room, huh. I wonder where he's gone.) Tenma "And you're fine with that!?" Izumi (I heard a voice here...?) Tenma "Why didn't you say it sooner!? If only you didn't lie about the oasis and just discussed this matter with me--." Izumi (These are the lines that he forgot during our dress rehearsal.... He practised it himself.) (Tenma-kun hasn't given up.) Tenma --. Izumi Sorry, I'm bothering you, right? Tenma No--. Izumi Can I watch? Tenma Yeah. Izumi You don't have to worry about what happened during our dress rehearsal. Tenma I've never experienced... such a terrible failure like that. I always thought that the school play at my grade school was the worst moment of my life, but it seems there's more. Izumi What are you saying? It wasn't that bad. You see, it's natural for me to forget my lines. There was even a time when I accidentally recited the wrong lines from start to finish. Tenma Hah? Izumi I came out at a totally unrelated scene, fell and ripped off the protagonist's costume. Tenma Is that... for real? Izumi Yup, yup. That's why Tenma-kun's failure is nothing! Tenma But you still stood on stage once more, huh. I'm scared. I finally stood on stage again yesterday, but I just repeated the same mistake and tasted humiliation once again. Izumi But Tenma-kun, you see, I have made a horrible mistake back then, but I also managed to bring laughter to the stage. Tenma Eh? Izumi I'm not saying that I was glad that I made that mistake, of course. But I was able to make the audience laugh wholeheartedly. There's no rule that says you mustn't show the audience your mistakes or hesitation onstage, see. You don't have to show perfection. All you have to do is make the audience happy. Bringing laughter to the audience during a performance is what makes the best performance. Tenma Even if I don't show perfection, I still can bring the best performance... Izumi Though I'm only a radish actor, my heart pounds whenever I'm about to go on stage. Tenma-kun said it before, right? A play is different from movies and dramas, you only have one chance to perform in a play. Even the audience comes to the play to see things that can only be seen on stage once. Be it the play, the actor's performance or the time--. That's why you don't have to perform perfectly. If you think you still can do it, you'll grow more and more on stage. Your strength will keep improving with time. As long as you keep standing on the stage, you can deliver the best performance as many times you like. Tenma --Director's words are indeed amazing. Izumi --. Tenma You didn't laugh when I told you the incident during my school play before. You knew that I wanted to bring perfection to the audience on stage, and you understood my weakness. Director was... the first person who accepted my weakness like that. Izumi Eh, Tenma-kun--. Tenma Director... Yuki What are you doing, flirting with Director? Kazunari It's not fair, Tenten. You stole a march on us~! Muku Are Tenma-kun and Director-san in that kind of relationship...!? F-for me, an unexpected love interest is a little bit...! Ah, but it may also be nice....! Yuki What are you talking about? Misumi I want to mingle too~! Tenma --Bweh. Izumi He's suffering, Misumi-kun--! Yuki It's not the time to be having fun. We have to practice. Kazunari Let's practice with everyone, Tenten! Muku That's right. You don't have to think of anything until the performance! Tenma You guys... Misumi Practice, practice~. Tenma You're right. We have to work hard until the first day of performance. Yuki Obviously. Kazunari Let's do it! Muku Let's do our best! Misumi Ei ei, ou~! Izumi (Nobody is giving up... I'm sure they will recover.)
