Itaru Thanks! Masumi ......*nods* Sakuya Thank you very much! Citron Much obliged! Tsuzuru You're still in your Taiga boom, are you! Izumi (With this, the curtain's closed on our final performance, too......It really did pass in the blink of an eye.) (In the latter half, everyone got more and more into it, so we were able to reach the final performance without complaints.) (It's so popular we even had people standing to watch today......It really was good.) Izumi Well done, everyone! Tsuzuru Good work! Itaru Nice, nice. Citron Well work! Sakuya Well then, our leader Masumi-kun can make the toast! Masumi ......Cheers. Tsuzuru That's so unenthusiastic! Izumi Well, now. Sakuya Cheers! Tsuzuru Cheers! Citron Cheers! Izumi The final performance was really good. Even the standing area was full. Sakuya We couldn't see the seats well, but it did seem packed. The same-day tickets were sold out in the blink of an eye and we had the Manager deal with that quickly, but even then he said we couldn't fit everyone in. Tsuzuru I heard we had more repeaters in the second half. Izumi After the rest day, Masumi-kun and Itaru-san's acting improved tremendously. Did something happen? Sakuya Ah, now that you mention it...... That day, Itaru-san suddenly came to our school to fetch Masumi-kun. On top of that, he said he was Masumi-kun's older brother, so after that a lot of girls were asking to let them meet him――. Izumi Itaru-san does stand out. Tsuzuru Ohh. So you were abducted, and then? Masumi ......Nothing really. Citron A special event occured. There's the flag. Sakuya I'm curious about what you talked about! Izumi How did you get closer? Itaru It wasn't anything major. I just trashed our super cheeky Masumi-kun in a fighting game. Izumi Trashed......? Sakuya A fighting game......? Tsuzuru In the end it was that!? Masumi It was the worst. Citron They talked with their fists! Like in a delinquent manga! Sakuya I see! There are cases where people get friendlier through fighting! Izumi So by gaming together, you came to understand one another? Masumi ......We understood that we don't understand one another. Itaru That's it. Tsuzuru What's with that. Sakuya In the end, you don't understand one another!? Citron The development where mysteries call for more mysteries! Masumi Also, I used Itaru's example of failure as a reference. I won't become like that. Itaru How cruel. Tsuzuru Itaru-san, aren't you being harshly criticised. Sakuya Heh, I guess the two of you get along better than before? Izumi (But somehow, even though they complain about each other, they're in sync. You get the feeling they're getting through to one another.) Izumi (Phew......I might have drunk a bit too much. I'll take a bath to sober up.) (Huh? The balcony window is open......) Itaru ...... Izumi Itaru-san? Itaru Director. Hey. Izumi Hello. Can I stand beside you? Itaru Mm. Go ahead. Izumi Then I will. How was the play this time? Itaru Horrible, since I couldn't game. All my rankings fell. Izumi Not that......! Itaru Well, it was interesting in many ways. There are things I myself discovered. Izumi Discovered? Itaru A me that's not like myself, for instance. I think I might have been uncharacteristically worked up. It wasn't just Masumi; I wasn't myself either. I'm technically the oldest in the Spring Troupe. I was trying hard thinking I needed to do something because I was an adult. Even though I'm a poor communicator. Izumi Are you a poor communicator, Itaru-san? Itaru Fairly. It's a nerd thing. And because of that, things didn't go well, and I was floundering around by myself. It was stupid even for me. Izumi Itaru-san...... Itaru Even if it wasn't me, you're still around, so I should have just done what I wanted to do. I mean, isn't this the place for that, Director? Izumi That's right...... (A place where everyone can be themselves.....a place where they can shine in their own way. This theatre, and this stage, is that sort of place.) From now on, too, please be yourself. Itaru Alright, I'm gonna get my rank up again from tomorrow. I won't sleep. Izumi That said, please game in moderation! Itaru Hmm, I'll try. Then, goodnight. Izumi Goodnight! (Itaru-san being himself. That's definitely the way to shine brightest on stage......) Izumi (While sobering up, I ended up coming all the way here......) (It's become a habit to look at the set after the final performance like this.) (Tomorrow, both this stage and the world of "Alice" will disappear......No matter how many times I experience it, I get sad.) (Huh? Someone's come before me......) Masumi ...... Izumi Masumi-kun, what are you doing here? Masumi ......Just ended up here. Izumi I see. Masumi And you? Izumi Me too. Masumi ......What. I thought you came to look for me. Izumi Ahaha, too bad. How did you find the play this time, Masumi-kun? Masumi ......How? Izumi What was it like? Masumi ......I think it was fun. Izumi Really? Masumi ......At first, I was acting for you. I was happy being praised by you, and it was fun. But before I knew it, I didn't have the time to think about that sort of thing, and even if you didn't praise me, I was still having fun. I've never felt that way before. Izumi I see...... (Even though he lost sight of his reason to continue acting during Romeo & Julius, now he's come to truly feel that acting is fun.) (Masumi-kun's feelings towards theatre are definitely changing......) ......That's good. You've come to genuinely like acting. I'm glad. Masumi It's thanks to you. Because you were here, I was able to encounter something this fun. As I thought, you're my fated person. Izumi Masumi-kun...... (It's bad for my heart to be told that sort of thing with such a serious expression......) From now on, you'll definitely keep falling more in love with acting, and you'll have much, much more fun. Masumi Yeah. I get the feeling I will. So from now on, too, I'll always be by your side. Izumi Hehe. I'll be counting on you from now on as well, Masumi-kun!
