Prologue Avante
The Holy Land of the Theatre
Previous Main Story Next
Izumi(Let's see, what was the location of the theatre again? I'm sure there was a map on the flyer.)
...'Mankai Theatre'.
(It's at the end of 'Veludo Way', I think. I'll first go look there.)
(So this is the holy land of the theatre, Veludo Way... I should have come here when I was little, but I totally don't remember it.)
(I had heard of it before, but there really are a lot of theatres here. I'll have to make sure I don't miss the signboard...)
Man who seems to be hurtUrgh...
Izumi?
(He is crouching. Maybe he is physically hurt.)
Excuse me, are you okay?
Man who seems to be hurtI-I'm fine...
Izumi(He doesn't look fine at all...)
???Did something happen?
IzumiWell, this person is crouching, so I called out to him.
Man who seems to be hurtI'm really fine, so—
Young man in a hurryTasuku!
Izumi?
(Maybe an acquaintance of this person?)
TasukuHaruto...
HarutoYou know you can't sneak away from the hospital!
TasukuBut, if I don't do this, I can never in my life go outside of the hospital again.
Izumi(Somehow it seems like a complicated conversation, but it is a bit weird.)
???Err...
Passerby AOh, it's a street act.
Passerby BI have seen a theatre play with that boy!
Izumi(A street act?)
(Oh, that's what it is!)
???What should we do? It seems like it will probably be okay? Maybe?
IzumiI think so too. Let's give them some space.
???Eh? But...
IzumiIf you watch, you will understand.
??????
TasukuTell me the truth! My disease can't be cured anymore, can it?
HarutoThat's not true!
TasukuDon't lie. I overheard it a while ago. You and the doctor were talking.
HarutoWhat?
TasukuI don't want to die without knowing anything. I want to properly know the state of my disease...
Please, Haruto...
HarutoHere there are people watching. Let's talk inside the hospital.
Tasuku...All right.
Izumi(Is this the end of the first act?)
TasukuThank you very much for watching.
HarutoThank you!
Passerby AThe actors of GOD Company are great as always.
Passerby BYou just get captivated by their acting.
Izumi(It's true, I couldn't look away! And I don't feel like that just now was a performance.)
???Eh? Acting? Was that just now a play?
IzumiA street act is the performance of a play on the street as advertisement.
Members of a theatre group combine earning money and getting advertisement by doing this.
???I see! Something like a improvisation play or a flash mob?
IzumiThat's right. With a lot of small theaters in this town it is really popular, but the first one really is surprising, isn't it?
???I see... As expected of the town of acting. I should do some more research.
TasukuSorry for making you guys worry just now. Thanks.
HarutoYou just started talking to passersby, of course they were surprised.
TasukuYou were just too late.
HarutoWhat is that supposed to mean, are you saying I did something bad?
IzumiI was a bit surprised, but it was interesting.
TasukuIf you would like to, please come see a play of GOD Company sometime.
???Excuse me, is GOD Company now recruiting members?
HarutoWe are, are you interested in joining?
???I'm still thinking about it. Is there a dormitory?
HarutoWe don't have that kind of thing. Except for the ones that are living with their parents, everyone is hiring a room nearby.
Since there are also a lot of runaways, it's pretty tough. There are always a lot of fellows that are scraping by on an allowance.
???I see...
HarutoBut as an experienced person with ability that isn't a problem, right?
???I understand. Thank you very much.
Well then, I'll be going.
(He gives them a coin.)
TasukuThank you very much.
Izumi(So that kid wants to join a theatre company... That kind of takes me back, like I'm looking at my old self.)
(I should give them a coin too.)
(She gives them a coin.)
HarutoThanks! See ya!
Izumi(These children are good looking and their acting is great, so they're probably popular. As to be expected of the center of Veludo Way, the level is high.)
(Makes me look forward to the play I'm going to see now.)
(This is Mankai Theatre... I think.)
(It looks like it has a great history, and like it's very old, and... It's actually almost falling apart!)
(There is supposed to be a performance today, but there are no people, so I hope it's all right.)
(After coming all the way here, if this letter was only a prank...)
Flashback starts
Izumi(Mankai Company is the theatre group Dad was in, right?)
(As the sender wrote a letter addressing Dad, that person probably knows him, so if I meet him maybe I'll learn something about him.)
Izumi's MotherWell then, do as you want. Your mother knows nothing after all.
IzumiIt has been eight years since dad went missing, right? Aren't you worried?
Izumi's MotherThat person could be dying by the roadside somewhere. We are not in a relationship anymore, so I don't care.
Flashback ends
Izumi(Saying those words... Mum, you're really not worried about Dad, are you.)
(But I wonder what kind of relationship the sender of this letter, Matsukawa Isuke, has to my father. Maybe an official of Dad's theatre group?)
???Hey you, do you have something to do with this theatre?
Izumi
Are you Matsukawa-san?
Yakuza-looking manWhat?
Izumi(He can't be. He can't be, right? I hope he isn't!)
Yakuza-looking manAre you... No way.
IzumiAh, you're mistaking me for someone else. It's not like I have received a letter or anything, I'm just Passerby A.
(No way Dad, I hope you're not in debt to this person, you're not that kind of guy, right?)
Yakuza-looking man...If you have no business here, just leave. You don't want to go through a dangerous situation, do you?
IzumiA dangerous situation?
???Eeeeek!
There we go!!
Izumi!?
(What!? What is this noise...)
(Wait, a shovel car!?)
