Kazunari Chi! Citron ... Azuma Pon. Sakyo ... Izumi ? (An unusual group of people are all gathered together...) Kazunari Pon! Sakyo ...Aiming for the cheap spots as always. Kazunari That means that I have light footwork~ Citron Pon it is. Azuma I can’t read what the prince is thinking. Kazunari Prince? You mean Ronron? Azuma Yup. Doesn’t he kind of give off a princely vibe? Sakyo That doesn’t matter. I don’t get why you called out for that. Citron I have a secret weapon! Sakyo ... Azuma ...Tsumo. Sakyo Tch, a yakuman... Azuma Sorry. Kazunari Azuu is on top again! Izumi (All of a sudden there’s a Mahjong club...!) Manager Uu...! Izumi What’s wrong, Manager? Manager It’s almost as if the Company’s olden days have returned, and I’m just so happy I... Izumi (Now that I think about it, this isn’t the first time he’s cried like this...) Kazunari Ah! That’s right! They’re all done! Izumi ? Kazunari This, this! Here, this is Ronron’s, Azuu’s, and Furuuche-san’s! Sakyo Aren’t you gonna do something about that nickname... Kazunari Ehh? If you keep saying “Furuichi,” it just turns into “Furuuche”! Furuichi Furuichi Furuuchi Furuuchi Furuuche! Sakyo That’s not the problem. Azuma ...What’s this? A name tag? Kazunari Proof that you’re a member of the troupe~ This one is Director-chan’s and this is Sukecchi’s! Izumi ...Troupe Member Number 0? What do I use this for? Kazunari It’s something like an identification? You can use it in place of a license! Sakyo As if! Kazunari Anyhow, we even have members of the Winter Troupe now. Doesn’t it make you want matching somethings~! Sakyo What’s with that. Azuma But, it makes us feel that we’re colleagues. It’s nice. Citron It feels that I’m really a shichirin of MANKAI Company! Azuma A shichirin? Izumi A member (ichiin)? Citron That’s it! Izumi A member of the troupe, huh. You’re right! Thank you, Kazunari! Kazunari You’re welcome! Take one too, Takusu! Tasuku ...It’s Tasuku. Kazunari Then here’s Tsumutsumu’s, Hisohiso’s, and Aririn’s! Izumi What’s that, it sounds like an incantation...! Kazunari Winter Troupe nicknames~! Best regards, everyone! Tsumugi Tsumutsumu... Hisoka ...Hisohiso? Homare Aririn... Izumi (It’s like they’ve become a mascot trio from an educational program...!) Kazunari I especially made Sumii’s triangle-shaped! Misumi Ya~y! Triangle, triangle~! Azuma In the part here that says “Since...”, is that the year when the theatre was founded? Manager Yes! I wasn’t yet a part of the theatre at the time, but it’s already been 26 years since then. Azuma This place has a lot of history. Manager There’s lots of mysterious anecdotes as well. Homare Anecdotes? Manager They’re known as the theatre’s Seven Mysteries... Kazunari One of them turned out to be Sumii though~ Manager Oh, no, I have lots more in store! Like the “Infinity Doll”, the “Locked Room”, and the “Truthful Magnifying Glass”... Izumi Telling this kind of stories during winter is sort of... Kazunari Oh, it’s fine. I’m curious! Azuma What’s the “Infinity Doll”? Manager Once upon a time, there seemed to be two troupe members who had a fallout. One day, a mysterious doll apparently appeared beside them... Until those two made up, that doll wouldn’t forgive them and they would be stuck wandering in incessant hell forever... Izumi S-scary...? Sakyo They wouldn’t be forgiven until they made up? Not sure if that’s supposed to be scary or not. Citron If anything, the doll is a good person! Tsumugi You’re right. Izumi I wonder what kind of doll it is. Kazunari It’s probably a generic traditional doll. Citron It might be a scarecrow (kakashi)! Sakyo A scarecrow isn’t considered a doll. Azuma You mean a kokeshi? Citron That’s it! Misumi A doll! I wanna meet it! Kazunari I don’t think it’s that type of doll! Manager I don’t know since I haven’t seen it, but those who have fallouts should be careful. Everyone get along! Tasuku ...Hah. There’s no way that kind of occult exists. Azuma What’s the “Locked Room”? Manager As the name suggests, it’s a locked room. One day, a troupe member suddenly disappeared, and when they went to look for him he was trapped in the “Locked Room”... Tasuku That’s probably just that guy spewing nonsense. Manager Oh, no, it wasn’t just one of them that got locked in. The person who went to look for him also got locked in the room. But afterwards when they went to go confirm it, that room they got trapped in wasn’t there anymore... Izumi S-scary...! Tasuku They probably just made up that story together. Sakyo That sounds logical. Hisoka ...What’s the “Truthful Magnifying Glass”? Manager Oh, this one isn’t that scary. They found a mysterious magnifying glass that was mixed up with the stage props. When you use that magnifying glass, you’d be able to read your companions’ true feelings! Sakyo Sounds like a gadget of a certain cat robot. Izumi It would be interesting if something like that really existed~ Hisoka ...Yeah. Homare Impossible. There is no way something like that exists. Izumi Homare-san, you’re surprisingly a realist. Homare I do not believe in those types of stories. Especially in the “Truthful Magnifying Glass.” Such a convenient thing like that... Izumi I think it’s good to have dreams.
