Previous	Event Story
Hisoka ...Thank you very much. Chikage Thank you very much. Kumon Thank you! Juza Thanks. Izumi Good work everyone! (I’m glad we were able to put on the last mixed troupe play’s final performance without any problems!) (These cross-troupe plays provided everyone with good experience and were a great success.) Yuzo Hey. Izumi Ah, Yuzo-san, you came to watch! Yuzo You got some interesting members for this one too. Hyodo Jr., your role may have been written for you, but your honest and pure side was shining with a clear conscience. Kumon Really!? Yay! Yuzo As for the older brother — Moran lives in a grim world, but you clearly showed that he’s hiding light within him. Juza Thanks. Yuzo It’s not just the Hyodo brothers, but the lead actor and the co-lead are basically alike at the core too. You can really tell when they act side by side. Izumi (Now that you mention it, Tsuzuru-kun also...) Tsuzuru All right, I’ll try adding more to Watson and Moran’s characters. Izumi Okay. Sorry about that. Tsuzuru No, don’t be. They may have opposing roles, but Juza and Kumon are still brothers and two peas in a pod; it’d be better to bring out that side of them. Come to think of it, Chikage-san and Mikage-san too... Izumi ? Tsuzuru Mikage-san actually said he wanted to be a traveller who’s searching for the perfect marshmallow, the Ultimate Marshmallow. Apparently he held back because he didn’t want to give me trouble. Izumi Ultimate Marshmallow — I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before... Tsuzuru Yup. It reminded me of Chikage-san saying something about the Ultimate Curry. Those two are a sweet tooth and a spicy tooth — they’re polar opposites, but they’re still two peas in a pod. That’s why I thought that Holmes and Moriarty’s relationship suits them well. Izumi (Hisoka-san and Chikage-san do resemble each other after all.) Yuzo Whether it’s on purpose or not, everybody lives while hiding something. Their real nature, their thoughts, their affection towards someone. But when they act, the things they’re hiding just come out naturally. It’s the most obvious with Hisoka and Chikage. That aspect of yours came to life in your acting as Holmes and Moriarty; they’re both characters who have something up their sleeves after all. It’s an act that only you guys can pull off. It was great. Hisoka ...Thank you. Chikage It’s not often we get praised. Yuzo Your true nature shows even though you’re playing a part — it may be ironic, but that’s what makes acting interesting. Izumi I agree. Yuzo I guess you’re done with the mixed troupe plays now. Izumi Yes! All of the troupe members have performed in one. Yuzo Once again, the reborn Mankai Company is a gathering of weirdos. They looked unified and well-organized when the troupes were established, but you can really tell how weird they are when you mix them up like this. Izumi Is that so? Yuzo Well, I guess the first generation don’t have room to talk... We were mismatched, had a lot of conflict, and we fought a lot too. But we treasured our companions, and more than anything, we loved acting and this troupe. No different from these guys. Izumi (Yuzo-san is looking nostalgic with a gentle expression.) (The first generation members, huh... I can’t remember anything from when I met them personally, but I wonder what kind of people they are.) Izumi Once again, good work with the sixth mixed troupe play! Hisoka Good work. Chikage Good work. Kumon Good work! Juza Good work. Kumon I’m sitting next to nii-chan! Sakyo So you’re done with avoiding him. Kumon Hehe~! Omi Juza, I made muffins, tarts, and pudding. Juza ‘Kay. Banri You’re piling way too much on your plate. Sakyo It’s the result of his abstinence from sweets. Izumi The two of them worked hard after all. Hisoka ...Zzz. Azuma I guess Hisoka is exhausted too. Chikage This is just the usual for Sleepyhead. Kazunari Is Hisohiso withdrawing from the darts tournament? Sakuya He can always participate when he wakes up, can’t he? Kazunari Okay, then we’re starting the troupe versus troupe darts tournament! Each person gets three throws, then the troupe with the highest number of total points wins! Sakuya The team in last place will have to help the manager for a week! Manager We’ll be pulling as many weeds around the the dorm as we can~! Yuki I’d really rather not. Tenma Let’s win this. Taichi I’ll do my best! Kazunari First round: Spring Troupe versus Summer Troupe~! Tsuzuru Who’s going first? Sakuya I’ll go! ... Chikage It’s better if you don’t put too much strength into it. Sakuya Okay! Citron Good luck! Sakuya —— Kazunari 7, 15, and 13. 35 points! Sakuya I’m sorry, all I got were singles... Tsuzuru Nah, that’s good enough. Masumi Not bad for Sakuya. Itaru Our team has a trump card, so don’t worry about it. Yuki For Summer Troupe, our leader can go first too. Tenma Right. Muku Good luck Tenma-kun! Misumi You can do it~! Tenma —— Sakuya 18, double 1 which is 2 points, and triple 1 which is 3 points. 23 points! Tenma 1...! Yuki That actually takes skill. Kazunari Tenten, nice control! Next time you should aim for the high numbers! Itaru For Spring Troupe, I guess Masumi will go next. Masumi Fine by me. —— Sakuya Wow! Bullseye three times in a row! Kazunari 50 points x3.150 points! Masumi This much is easy enough. Tsuzuru He really is skilled. Kazunari Next up from Summer Troupe is Yukki! Yuki —— Sakuya 14, 12, and 13. 39 points! Yuki Well, that wasn’t so bad. Muku It’s a high score! Kumon Yuki, you’re good! Sakuya The last one to go from Spring Troupe is Chikage-san. Citron Introducing our trump card! Itaru Here comes a guaranteed win. Chikage Can you not get your hopes up too much? —— Kazunari Triple 20 x3. 180 points! Izumi Amazing! Tsuzuru He got the highest possible score so easily; it’s just what you’d expect. Itaru Amazing. Chikage Thanks. Tenma Last one from Summer Troupe is Misumi. Muku Please do your best! Kumon Sumi-san’s athletic too, so he won’t lose to Chikage-san! Yuki As long as it doesn’t involve triangles. Tenma The target is a circle so it should be okay. Misumi Here I go~ A triangle and~ Another triangle and~ Triangle! Yay! I got them all in the triangles! Tenma Oi! Kumon Those are singles so the scores aren’t high at all! Misumi They’re triangles though~? Yuki This is hopeless; we were guaranteed to lose as of the rules. Sakuya 3 points x3. 9 points! Kazunari Spring Troupe got a total of 456 points, and Summer Troupe got 285 points! Spring Troupe wins~! Citron We did it! Sakuya We won! Kumon We lost~! Yuki We’ll be fine as long as we’re not in last place. Kazunari Yup yup, let’s do our best in the next round! Next up, Autumn Troupe VS Winter Troupe! Banri You’re all okay with me going first, right? Taichi Good luck, Ban-chan! Banri Piece of cake. ——Hup. Kazunari 50 points x3. 150 points! Azami They’re right in the middle. Taichi A high score, just what you’d expect! Sakyo He’s skilled as always. Tsumugi I guess I’ll go first too, as the Winter Troupe leader. Guy Agreed. Azuma You can do it. Tsumugi —— Kazunari 20, 9, and 11. 40 points! Tasuku That’s not bad. Homare It’s plenty. Juza I’m going next. Banri That’s not something you should say with muffins in your hands! Do it after you eat! Taichi Ah, then I’ll do it first! Aim, and—— Ahh! Kazunari 0, 20, and triple 5. 35 points! Omi You had good aim. Banri Not bad. Taichi Uu... I missed one~ Azuma Tasuku, why don’t you go next? Tasuku Fine by me. —— Kazunari 15, 11, and 18. 44 points! Tasuku Well, it’s good enough that I didn’t miss. Tsumugi I think it’s a good score. Taichi Last one from Autumn Troupe is A-chan! Azami But wait, aren’t we gonna lose for sure? Hisoka-san’s next. Sakyo You don’t know that yet. It’s possible that he wouldn’t wake up and would have to withdraw. Hisoka ...Zzz. Azami I’d hope so—— Kazunari Double 13, 15, and 12. 53 points! Guy Mikage is the last one from Winter Troupe, but is he waking up? Tsumugi Hmm, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Hisoka Zzz... Homare I anticipated this would happen, so I prepared some special marshmallows! They’re limited-edition rich milk honey marshmallows. Now, open your eyes, Hisoka-kun! Taichi Ahh! If you use marshmallows that smell that good, then...! Hisoka ...*munch* Tasuku There was no way he wouldn’t wake up. Homare Now, throw your darts! Hisoka —— Kazunari Triple 20 x3. 180 points! Juza He still has that accuracy while he’s eating marshmallows. Omi He’s fearsome. Azami There’s no way we can win against that. Kazunari The totals are~ Autumn Troupe got 312 points, and Winter Troupe got 443 points. Winter Troupe wins! Homare All right, we won! Tasuku We’re strong with Mikage on our side. Sakyo I guess we’ll be betting on third place playoff. Banri Right. Kazunari Okay, I’ll leave the announcing to you, MC Sakusaku! Sakuya Yes! Next up, we’ll start the third place playoff with Summer Troupe VS Autumn Troupe! Tenma Muku, we’re counting on you. Muku O-okay! U-uuumm, first is the stance, awawawa... Kumon He’s super nervous! Yuki Calm down. Muku E-ei! Sakuya 0, 18, and 20. 38 points! Muku Uwah! I’m sorry!! Misumi No worries, no worries~ Kazunari We’ll turn the tables in the second half! Omi I guess I’ll go next. Taichi Omi-kun, good luck! Sakyo Let’s rack up points steadily. Omi I’m not very good at things like this. —— Sakuya 12, double 15, and 18. 60 points! Taichi Amazing! Omi It was a fluke. Kazunari I’m going next! Misumi You can do it~ Kazu! Yuki We just have to avoid last place. Kazunari Ok~! Let’s take it ea~sy! I think I’m in peak condition~! Sakuya 50, 13, and 11. 74 points! Kumon Right in the middle. Wow! Tenma Now we’ve racked up a lot. Taichi We gotta do our best too! Juza We can’t lose. Sakyo I guess I’m next. Banri Sakyo-san’s usually throwing sharp things around anyway. We got this. Sakyo Like hell I am. ... Sakuya 0, double 15, and 0. 30 points! Taichi What!? He missed!? Banri Are you not feeling well? Sakyo My glasses aren’t in the best condition. Banri Please say that sooner! Tenma This is our chance. Kumon Last one from Summer Troupe is me! Muku Good luck, Kyu-chan! Azami The brothers are against each other. Kazunari Same as their roles in the mixed troupe play. Kumon I won’t lose, nii-chan. Banri The little brother’s being unusually competitive. Sakyo They contended against each other on stage as equals too, after all. The big brother can’t let his guard down. Juza Kumon, I’ll also give it all I’ve got. Kumon Yeah! —— Sakuya 20, 20, and 18. 58 points! Kumon Uu, I couldn’t get a double! Kazunari That’s all good! Misumi Kumon, you did your best~! Juza ...All right. Banri You better not lose. Juza Of course I won’t. —— Sakuya 0, 0, and double 14. 28 points! Taichi Huh!? What’s wrong!? Omi Juza isn’t doing so well either. Banri Talk about no control!? Juza My stomach feels kinda tight and that threw me off. Banri You ate too much sweets! Sakyo I didn’t think his abstinence from sweets would backfire this much. Azami So the little brother won their match. Juza You’ve grown, Kumon. Kumon Hehe. Banri Play it off all you want, but you really just ate too much. Sakuya Announcing the results! Autumn Troupe has a total of 305 points, and Summer Troupe has 309 points. Summer Troupe wins! Kumon Yay! We won! Sakyo It was a close fight. Tenma That was close. Azami We’re gonna be pulling weeds, huh... Omi We’ve got no choice. Kazunari Okay, at last, it’s time to start the final round between Spring Troupe and Winter Troupe! Citron I’m going first! Hoi, swish swish! Kazunari 50, 50, and 20. 120 points! Tsuzuru Getting such a high score while yelling that is just not right. Itaru He’s high-spec as usual. Tsumugi Guy-san, we’ll be counting on you next. Guy Got it. ... Kazunari Double 10, 50, and 50. 120 points! Citron So the useless one challenges me. Guy It was a coincidence. Itaru I guess I’m up next. Tsuzuru You just have to hit the target! Chikage Even just one point is a score. Itaru Are you making fun of me? Doesn’t matter though—— Kazunari 0, 0, and 15. 15 points! Itaru Well it’s in the double digits, which is amazing. Citron It’s not 0. You did your best! Masumi Such a low goal. Chikage Didn’t you practice darts? Tsuzuru You said you couldn’t come because of work, so he quit. Chikage Really? Itaru Yup, yup. It’s senpai’s fault that I still suck. Nothing I can do about it. Masumi Unbelievable. Azuma I’ll throw next. Tsumugi Please do your best. Azuma Well, I’ll just wing it. —— Kazunari 18, 15, and 20. 53 points! Azuma That wasn’t so bad. Homare A great score! Tsuzuru Okay, I’ll throw next. Sakuya Please do your best! Itaru Go make up for what I lost. Tsuzuru Please don’t pressure me! ——Hup. Kazunari 18, 20, and double 10. 58 points! Sakuya It’s amazing that you hit a double! Tsuzuru It would’ve been better if I doubled a higher number though. Itaru Not bad, I guess? Chikage You’ve got no room to talk. Homare I shall throw next. I came up with a magnificent pose. Here I go—— Tsumugi Er, it might be better if you throw normally—— Homare Hah! Kazunari 0, 0, and 20. 20 points! Homare I suppose it needs improvement. Tasuku You definitely should’ve just thrown it the normal way. Hisoka ...That was terrible. Homare You are awake only during times like this! Itaru Don’t we have a shot here? Tsuzuru True, we can probably recover from Itaru-san’s score. Sakuya The last one is Chikage-san! Itaru Our safe tile. I’ve set it up, so I’m leaving the rest to you. Chikage Well, I’ll just do it like usual. —— Kazunari Triple 20 x3. 180 points! Tsuzuru You really don’t miss. Citron A cheat! Itaru Just what you’d expect from senpai. So reliable. Chikage Geez, you’re in good shape. Azuma The last one from Winter Troupe is Hisoka. Tasuku We’re counting on you to make up for Arisugawa’s score. Hisoka What a pain. ... Kazunari Triple 20 x3. 180 points~! Tsumugi Hisoka-kun never misses either. Kazunari Time to announce the results~! Spring Troupe got a total of 452 points, and Winter Troupe got a total of 452 points! Tsuzuru An unexpected tie? Azuma What do we do in case of a tie? Itaru Sudden death? Kazunari Hm~ How ‘bout a sudden death between two representatives? Citron The Spring Troupe representative will be Chikage, of course! Guy For Winter Troupe, it’s going to be Mikage. Chikage We can finally finish our game from the other day. Hisoka ...I won’t lose. Chikage ... Hisoka ... Izumi Neither of them are missing though... Sakuya This went on for five hours last time, if I remember correctly. Kazunari I wonder how long this one’ll take? Chikage Shouldn’t you be running out of marshmallows by now? Hisoka ...I can eat while throwing. Omi This is never-ending. Sakyo Are you planning to do this all night? Yuki We should probably put in some kind of irregular component. Tenma True. At this rate they wouldn’t mess up for their whole life. Banri Which reminds me, if last place gets a punishment game then do the winners get something? Sakuya Nothing has really been decided for that. Kazunari Let’s give them some kinda prize! It might motivate them more. Muku A prize? Kazunari Well, since the ones in last place gotta help the manager, then for the winners... Izumi Huh? Me? I wonder if I’ve got anything that would be considered a prize... Itaru A date, maybe. Masumi I’m gonna participate too. Tsuzuru You’re on the same team as Chikage-san! Izumi What if I make super spicy curry? Tasuku That would be a punishment game for Mikage. Tsumugi No matter what food you choose as the prize, it’ll be a punishment game for one of them. Izumi Hmm, what if we meet in the middle of their favourite things... Citron I know! Marshmallow-flavoured curry! Chikage ...Strongly rejected. Hisoka ...I don’t feel like doing it anymore. Juza They both missed. Taichi What happens to the sudden death round if they tie with zero points? Kazunari They keep going? Izumi So they’ll keep going after all!?
