Previous Main Story Next
AzamiIs everyone in Autumn Troupe here? Then let’s begin.
Now that the performance is quickly approaching, I have something to say to you all so we can make it through the full run.
—Ken-san.
SakodaHere you go!
Izumi(I feel like I saw the same thing happen just about a year ago....)
TaichiI’m getting some déjà vu here!
JuzaMe too.
SakodaTa-da!
BanriThe beauty slogan for the run of our performance...?
TaichiSleeping・Moisturizing ・Skincare Lifestyle...?
SakodaWritten by me, Sakoda Ken!
Omi...Sakyo-san sure raised him, all right.
SakyoWhat are you talking about?
AzamiDuring the run of the performance, we’ll be in full makeup for hours every day. It’ll take a toll on your skin no matter what. In order to maintain the best skin possible, you’ll need to be even more careful than usual about your care.
Don’t forget your moisturizing cream, day and night. Take your Vitamin C. Don’t get sunburned. Go to bed by Golden Time[1].
And then... et cetera, et cetera....
Izumi(He’s exactly like Sakyo-san...!)
AzamiI can tell right away if you’ve been slacking by how well the makeup applies. If you have any skin issues I’m gonna make you walk around with a white face pack all day.
TaichiLike that guy from The Ogami Family[2]...!
SakyoDon’t expect an old man to do skincare like an OL[3].
AzamiShut up. Your skin’s the oldest, so you should put in extra effort, old man! Learn from Azuma-san!
SakyoStop being unreasonable!
BanriAzuma-san’s level will be hard to reach....
JuzaAzuma-san, huh....
SakyoYou two need to stop staring at my skin!
Izumi(Azami-kun and Sakyo-san haven’t stopped arguing, but there’s no harsh atmosphere like before.)
(This must have been what their relationship was really like....)
Sakyo....
Izumi...Sakyo-san.
SakyoHm?
IzumiWhat are you doing?
SakyoJust taking a break outside.
IzumiYou need to hurry up and go to bed or else Azami-kun will put a face pack on you.
SakyoDon’t remind me. I don’t want to think about it.
IzumiHis professional attitude makes him reliable.
Sakyo...Sorry for getting so upset when we heard about the accident. You really helped me out there.
IzumiOf course you’d get upset if someone important to you got into a car accident.
Sakyo...And I’m glad I could apologize to him. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my heart.
IzumiI’m really glad you two made up.
SakyoThough he was in a bad mood for a while afterwards because I exposed all those stories.
IzumiYou really remember all sorts of things, Sakyo-san. Like the numbers for each and every performance in great detail...!
SakyoIt’s important stuff, right?
IzumiThat’s true, but I think you can afford to forget some of it....
SakyoAah?
Izumi...Nevermind.
SakyoWell, I do remember everything you’ve forgotten from when I babysat you.
IzumiEh!? Please don’t dig up weird stories from my past!?
SakyoWe’ll see about that. It all depends on you.
IzumiI’ll stick to our budget.
SakyoGood.
...I also remember what I said when I gave you the conditions to save the troupe.
IzumiWhat you said?
SakyoThat Yukio-san must have tossed aside the troupe and ran away. I was supposed to take it back if you didn’t run away from your job as General Director.
Izumi...Ah. That did happen, didn’t it.
(I didn’t know Sakyo-san’s feelings back then, so I detested him for speaking so poorly about father, but... Now I know.)
(Sakyo-san never wanted to see MANKAI Company become desolate again....)
SakyoI kept missing my chance to say it, but... I always thought I needed to take it back. You didn’t run away—you’re doing an excellent job.
Yukio-san, too... He would never toss aside the troupe and run away without a reason.
There must have been a reason he had to.... That’s what I want to believe, too.
Izumi...Yes.
(What in the world could that have been?)
(I just can’t think of a reason to toss aside the troupe and run away because I’ve been General Director for over a year.)
(Creating a performance with everyone here makes me happier than anything else. I want to keep doing this forever. I’m sure father must have felt the same.)
(But he still had to leave the troupe... Father, what in the world happened?)
SakyoWell, I guess there’s no use thinking about it.
Watching the chairman makes me think that there’s no father who doesn’t care about his child.
I’m sure Yukio-san is still thinking of you.
Izumi...Yes.
(What I need to do right now is work hard with everyone so that I can proudly show father MANKAI Company when he returns.)
SakyoThough the chairman and Yukio-san are pretty different. I bet Yukio-san rarely scolded you.
IzumiYou’re right... Though my mother scolded me often.
Now that you mention it, the chairman looked really kind, but he’s actually pretty strict, isn’t he—throwing away Azami-kun’s makeup and cards like that.
Sakyo...I think he’s pouring his heart into it so that ane-san can rest peacefully in heaven.
IzumiAzami-kun’s mother?
SakyoYeah. She passed away when bon was five. I hear she had always been sickly.
They were always worried about whether she could give birth to a healthy heir.
That’s why they were overjoyed when bon was born as their first child.
The chairman spilled when he was drunk that he wanted to raise bon as a respectable heir for ane-san’s sake.
That’s why I can’t disregard the chairman’s feelings.
IzumiI see....
SakyoThe chairman is a stubborn man. I said I’d help convince him, but... it’ll be a difficult task.
Izumi(It’s not just a difficult task. It must be hard for Sakyo-san because he understands how both the chairman and Azami-kun feel....)
Sakoda...Uhh, where’s his calligraphy kit.
Must be tough for Azami, handling both the troupe and school. The flyer is done, and the performance is right around the corner, after all~.
Oh, is it this? I’ll take this to the dorms....
ChairmanOi, Sakoda.
SakodaY-yessir!?
ChairmanWhy are you so surprised?
SakodaU-uh, it’s nothing! Is something wrong?
ChairmanSakyo’s next performance is coming up soon, right? Get us tickets for the guys in the group.
SakodaEh!?
ChairmanWhat? We’ve got a lot of people, so you don’t need to ask Director-san.
SakodaN-no, well, the show is really popular this time round, so it might be hard to get tickets....
ChairmanThen use the guys in our group.
SakodaW-well, uh~....
ChairmanOi, Sakoda, what is that?
Sakoda!! Th-the flyer...!
ChairmanLead, Izumida Azami...?
Oi, Sakoda. What’s the meaning of this?
SakodaE-eeep...!

Notes

  1. 19:00~22:00; Golden Time is prime time for TV
  2. Taichi says "大神家" which is read "Ogami-ke" and looks very similar to "犬神家"—the movie Inugami-ke, in which the iconic character Sukekiyo wears a white mask at all times
  3. Office Lady
