Episode 1: Three Conditions

Previous	Main Story	Next
Manager Now then, let me guide you to our dormitory. Izumi (I actually came here thinking that I might be able to discover something about dad, but I didn't expect that I would join his theatre company...) (Moreover, the conditions that were set by that yakuza Furuichi...) Izumi What are these... conditions? Sakyo I won't repeat it, so listen well. First, hold a debut performance for the Reborn Spring Troupe by the end of the month. And the final performance must be a full house. Second, gather talents and create four units within the year, then have each of them deliver a debut performance. Make it successful too. Third, pay off the theatre's debt within one year. If you fail to fulfil even one of these conditions, I'll turn this theatre into a burlesque and you don't have the right to protest. Manager That's impossible! We can't fulfil all of that within one year! Sakyo If that so, I'll pull down the signboard right now. Manager How cruel! Izumi Holding a debut performance is still manageable, but holding four performances within a year is just too unreasonable! And we only have 10 months left! Can you at least wait a whole ye—. Sakyo Stop behaving like a spoiled child! Izumi ——. Manager Eeek! Sakyo Do you know how much this theatre owes? Ten million yen. Izumi Te, ten million yen...!? Tsuzuru Whoa... Seriously? Sakuya That's an unimaginably large amount... Izumi ...That's impossible. Let's just give up. Manager Please don't say something like that, Director...! Sakyo Do you get it now? I've already given you as many concessions as I can. I can't give you more than this, but... If you're willing to sell your body to pay off the debt, it's a different story. Izumi ——tch. Masumi Keep your hands off her. Sakyo .... Masumi .... Manager We'll certainly be saved if she does that.. Izumi Wait, Manager, what are you saying!? Are you seriously considering that option!? Tsuzuru No, you must not do that! Sakuya What does he mean by 'sell your body'...? Manager No, no, I just thought about it for a moment. *whistle*——. Izumi (He's not even whistling. What an old-fashioned way to play innocence...) Sakyo Hmph. I have another condition too. Izumi ...What is it? Sakyo You. Izumi Me? No, I'm not going to sell——. Sakyo I want you to be the director of this theatre company. That's my last condition. Manager We can fulfil that for sure! Izumi Please don't agree to it so easily! And why am I included in the conditions anyway... Sakyo You understand how this curly-haired loser handles things, right? If you leave it up to him, this theatre will be gone next month. Manager Ugh... I can't deny it... Izumi I can help this theatre, but to be the director is a little bit... Sakyo As I thought, you're just gonna run away from this situation. Just like your father. Izumi ——What do you mean by that? Sakyo I heard that your father was the previous director, but he abandoned this theatre and ran away. He probably abandoned the company once he knew that business wasn't doing well. Like father, like daughter. Izumi ——. Manager Yukio-san is not that kind of person! Sakyo Then can you explain why the theatre is like this now? Manager That is... Izumi (Dad ran away..?) (That's impossible. Dad was so dedicated to this theatre company, there's no way he ran away....) ——. (He never came home, but when he did, he only talked about theatre. I once asked him to let me play at the theatre, but he refused.) (But that was because he loved this theatre. He treasured it.) (I don't want this theatre to disappear...) (This theatre is definitely the castle that Dad built. This is the proof of his dedication towards acting.) (I can't give up this treasure.) ...If I don't run away, you have to take back what you said before, Yakuza-san. Sakyo What I said before? Izumi My dad didn't run away. He didn't abandon this theatre company. Sakyo That is, if you can meet all those conditions. Izumi Understood. Sakyo You do know that becoming a director for this theatre means that you have to take care of this worthless theatre for a whole year, right? Izumi Yes. I'll take the responsibility. Manager Yeaay! Long live Director! Sakyo Hmph. Show me your best shot. You'll probably leave after next month's play, anyway. I'll expect an empty theatre at the final performance. And my name is not Yakuza-san. It's Sakyo Furuichi. Izumi Sakyo-san.... Sakyo Let's go, Sakoda! Sakoda Aye aye sir! Manager You'll pay for this later! Izumi (Manager is quick to change his attitude as usual..) Manager Okaay, we'll work hard for next month's play! Sakuya Ye, yes! Tsuzuru Will we be all right...? Manager Please relax and just rely on us! Izumi How can you be so optimistic!? We'd normally have six months to prepare for next month's play, you know... Manager We'll be all right as long as we have Director! Izumi As I said——. Manager We haven't had a director ever since Yukio-san left. And I can't do anything alone... But now that Director is here, I'm sure we'll be all right! We'll be able to do our best like before. You're Yukio-san's daughter, after all, so I don't have to worry about anything! Izumi Manager... (He really trusts Dad...) Manager *humming* We'll pay off the debt in a year and renovate this theatre! Izumi (But I feel like his inability to sense crisis is the reason why he got caught up in this situation...) Sakuya Umm, the theatre won't disappear, right? Tsuzuru Can we really fulfil it, though? It looks bad. Masumi So you'll join the theatre too, right. Izumi (Everyone is worried... I have to stay strong as the director.) There's no turning back, so I'll take responsibility! Manager Director...! Sakuya I'll be in your care, Director! Tsuzuru I'll also do my best, then. I've come too far to go back, anyway. Masumi I don't care about what happens to the theatre company. As long as you're here, I'm good. Izumi I'll look forward to working with you guys! Manager This is the first time I've felt relieved ever since Yukio-san left! I'll be able to sleep peacefully tonight~. Izumi (Will we really be all right...) (I'm worried about our future, but I have to protect the MANKAI Company that Dad treasured...) Izumi (...I said that I would take responsibility, but I'm indeed anxious.) Manager Over here, Director! Izumi Ah, yes! I'm coming!

Episode 1: Three Conditions

Manager I’ll take you to troupe dorms right away. Izumi (I came all this way hoping to learn something about father, but I didn’t think I’d wind up joining his theater troupe...) (Plus, the conditions that yakuza called Furuichi gave us—...) Izumi What do you mean, conditions? Furuichi I’m only going to speak once, so listen up. First. Put on the Reborn Spring Troupe’s debut performance next month, and make sure the final performance has a full audience. Second. Collect enough troupe members for four units, just like in the past, within this year. Each unit must successfully complete their own performance. Third. Pay off all of this troupe’s debt within one year. If you fail to fulfill even one of these conditions, I’m turning this place into a burlesque theater without mercy. Manager Impossible! They’re all impossible! Every single one! Furuichi Then take down the sign immediately. Manager Have mercy! Izumi We might be able to pull of the debut performance, but four performances before the year ends? That’s too much! We don’t even have ten months! You could at least wait a whole year—. Furuichi Stop whining! Izumi ——. Manager Eep! Furuichi Do you know how much debt this troupe has collected? Ten million yen. Izumi T-ten million...!? Tsuzuru Uwah... seriously? Sakuya I can’t even imagine... Izumi ...It’s impossible. Let’s give up. Manager Please, Director, not you too....! Furuichi Do you get it now? I’m giving you as much leeway as I possibly can. I can’t help you out any more. Unless... You repay the debt by sinking into foam. Izumi ——. *Slap* Masumi Don’t touch her. Furuichi .... Masumi .... Manager If Director sinks into foam, we’ll be saved... Izumi Hey, Manager!? Why are you seriously considering it!? Tsuzuru No, we can’t do that! Sakuya What’s foam...? Manager N, no~, it was just a passing thought! Hwee-hwoo~. Izumi (He can’t even whistle, and what an old fashioned way to feign ignorance anyway...) Furuichi Hmph. Also, there’s one more condition. Izumi ...What is it? Furuichi It’s you. Izumi Me? Foam isn’t an option—. Furuichi You’re going to be the General Director of this troupe. That’s the last condition. Manager We can handle that one! Izumi Please don’t speak so easily! Why in the world am I a condition anyway... Furuichi You’ve seen how useless this frizz-head is. If you leave it to him, the troupe will fall apart before next month. Manager Uh... I can’t deny it... Izumi All I did today was help collect new members. I don’t plan on becoming the Director.... Furuichi Oh? So you are going to run away after all? You’re the same as your dad. Izumi —What do you mean? Furuichi I’ve heard that despite being the General Director, your father tossed aside the troupe and ran away. He must’ve gotten sick of management troubles. You’re the same—like father, like daughter. Izumi ——. Manager Yukio-san isn’t that sort of person! Furuichi Then why is the troupe currently in this state? Manager That’s.... Izumi (Father ran away...?) (That can’t be true. He was so passionate about working with this troupe. There’s no way father would toss it aside...) ——. (He rarely came home at all; even when he did, the only thing on his mind was theater, so he never took me out to play.) (But that was because he loved theater. Because he loved this troupe.) (Father’s troupe might disappear... I don’t want that.) (This theater must be the castle that father built. It’s his crystal; proof that theater meant everything to father.) (I won’t let him crush this treasure.) ...If I don’t run away, yakuza-san, will you take back what you just said? Furuichi What I just said? Izumi Father didn’t run away. He didn’t toss this troupe aside. Furuichi If you can really meet all my conditions, then yes. Izumi Understood. Furuichi You know that becoming the General Director means you’ll have to take care of this pathetic troupe for the rest of this year, right? Izumi Yes. I’ll definitely see it through. Manager Yay~! Thank god for Director! Furuichi Hmph. Well, do what you can. Next month’s performance is going to be the last, anyway. I’ll come to watch your final performance in this empty theater. ...Also. My name isn’t yakuza-san. It’s Furuichi Sakyo. Izumi Sakyo-san... Sakyo We’re leaving, Sakoda! Sakoda Aye-aye, sir! Manager You’re gonna regret this later~! Izumi (Manager sure is quick to flip sides....) Manager Alrighty, let’s work hard towards next month’s performance! Sakuya Y-yeah! Tsuzuru Are we gonna be okay...? Manager We’re in good hands! Don’t worry about it! Izumi Why are you so optimistic!? Normally it takes at least half a year to prepare for a performance, but we have to put one on next month... Manager We have you, Director, so it’ll be fine! Izumi Look—. Manager Ever since Yukio-san disappeared, we haven’t had a Director. I tried to manage everything myself, but to no avail... But now that Director is here, I’m sure we’ll be fine! We can all work together just like we used to. We’ve got nothing to worry about if we have Yukio-san’s daughter! Izumi Manager... (I guess father was really that trusted...) Manager Hm~hm~hm~, so we’re going to be debt-free in a year, huh. Once that’s done, I’ll revamp this entire theater! Izumi (He seriously has no sense of danger—that must be why the troupe ended up in this sort of state...) Sakuya Um, the troupe isn’t going to disappear, right? Tsuzuru Looks like we’re on the edge in a lot of ways—can we really manage? Masumi You’re joining the troupe too, right? Izumi (Of course you’re all worried... I need to be reliable as their Director.) I can’t turn back now that I’ve come this far! I’ll take responsibility and do something about it! Manager Director....! Sakuya Please take care of me, Director! Tsuzuru Well, seems like this ship has already set sail, so I’ll do my best too. Masumi I don’t care about the troupe, but if you’re going to stay, I’m good. Izumi Let’s do our best together! Manager Phew~. I haven’t felt so relieved since Yukio-san disappeared! I can sleep soundly from tonight onwards~. Izumi (Are we really going to be okay....) (I couldn’t be more concerned for our future, but I’ll definitely protect this MANKAI Company that you treasured, father...!) (...I did say I’d take responsibility in the heat of the moment, but I’m still worried.) Manager This way, Director! Izumi Ah, yes! I’m headed over right now!
