Kumon That pork bun was sooo good. Ah, I'm starving. I wonder what's for dinner. Azami Who knows… Kumon By the way, I'm thinking of doing a temporary part-time job! I wanna earn some money to get a motorbike license and go touring with nii-chan! Yamaguchi also told me he wanted to get one after retiring from the baseball club. Say, Azami, do you wanna give it a try once you turn 16? Azami Hmm… Kumon … I've been wondering about this for a while. Azami, you seem kinda weird lately. Azami Huh? Not really--. Kumon If I recall, you've started acting weird ever since your graduation. Azami --. Kumon Did something happen? Azami … Actually--. You don't have any lessons today? Shifuto Yeah, today's my rare day off! Azami It's been a while since we last ate ramen together. Shifuto That can't be helped. I've been busy with lessons ever since I joined GOD-za. Azami Well, we have some free time until graduation. Perfect timing, right? Shifuto You've got a point. Reni-san, our chairman, has been kind to me, you see. He stayed late to coach me. I've learned a lot from him. My gestures and expression completely changed merely with a few pieces of advice he gave me. It truly was like magic. He's a scary person though, so his coaching could be harsh at times. Still, I wanted to absorb all the things he taught me and improve. Azami Oooh. Shifuto And you see, he told me he'd promote me as a regular and cast me in a play as long as I work hard. Azami That's awesome. Shifuto He also said it's such an exceptional feat given that no one has ever advanced this fast before. Becoming an actor has always been my dream, but I never think I could accomplish it this soon. I feel so indebted to Reni-san. He's been taking great care of me. I need to return the favor. Azami … Shifuto Azami? Azami I've kept quiet about this for a while, but… there are ex-members of GOD-za in the theater troupe I'm affiliated with. Shifuto Oh, really? Azami There are two of them, but one was a spy that this Reni guy sent to our troupe. Shifuto Eh…? Azami Looks like this Reni guy told him to make a mess of our troupe in exchange for a major role in their upcoming play. Shifuto You're kidding right… Azami Can you really trust that kind of person? He's not trying to deceive--. Shifuto There's no way he'd do such a thing! Azami But don't you think it's suspicious of him to promote someone this fast? Maybe he has some ulterior motives. Shifuto So are you saying I have no talent? Azami I never said that! Shifuto To begin with, can you even trust what that spy person said? Maybe he just wanted to put the blame on Reni-san. Azami He's not that kind of person! Shifuto Besides, Reni-san is very earnest about theater. It's hard to imagine he'd do such a thing. Azami --. Shifuto I'm going home. Sorry. Azami … … Shifuto What do you wanna talk about? Azami Today is our graduation, so I feel like I have to talk things out. Sorry, I said too much the other day. I’m just worried about you, Shifuto. Shifuto ...Me too. Azami The theater troupe I belong in, MANKAI Company, is a really nice place. Would you like to go have a look? We’re not recruiting new members right now, but I’ll try talking it out with the director--. Shifuto ...No, it’s fine. Azami --. Shifuto ...Remember back when you just started theater, you gave me a ticket to your show? Azami Yeah. You said you were busy and couldn’t come. Shifuto To tell you the truth, I’d canceled on you at the last minute on purpose. Do you know why? Azami Eh... Shifuto I’m jealous that you got to start acting before me. That’s why I never went to see your shows. I’ve told you, right? It’s always been my dream to be an actor. But you, Azami, who wasn’t really interested in acting, got to stand on stage and even had your wish to be a makeup artist come true. Just seeing you act made me annoyed, and I really couldn’t go to watch your shows. I was like, “I’m the one who really wants to pursue acting, and yet...” Azami --. So that’s how you feel. I didn’t realize it at all--. Shifuto It’s not like you’re doing something wrong. But still, sorry. Azami Eh? Shifuto I’m not qualified to be your friend. Azami --. … Kumon ...I see. It must have been rough for you. Azami I could relate to him, so I can't really bring myself to contact him. Kumon I get it… It must have been shocking to learn that your friend is in GOD-za. Azami I was surprised when I heard about it. Kumon I get you. I've been in that position before, feuding with Yamaguchi. It's truly depressing to know that we can't do anything about it, right? Azami … Kumon But you see, I feel like Yamaguchi and I have gotten closer ever since. The end of a friendship is something that will happen when both of you give up. But if either of you are not giving up, there's a chance you will reconcile. I'm sure Shifuto-kun needs some time to sort out his feelings right now. And since you two are doing theater, I'm sure you will have another chance to talk, especially if you, at the very least, decide not to give up, Azami. That's why, you absolutely can't give up! Azami --Yeah, you may be right. Kumon Yup! Azami This is the first time I feel like you're older than me. Kumon For real!? Did I look like nii-chan!? On a scale of 1-10, how much of a big bro do you think I am!? Azami It just went down to the negatives real quick. Kumon EEH!? That's fast! Azami But well, thanks. Kumon Hehe! We're back. Azami We're back. Kazunari This is totes bad! What are we gonna do!? Misumi What should we do~? Banri Those guys are hella persistent. Kumon …? Azami Looks like there's quite a bit of commotion. Kumon Did something happen?

Kumon That pork bun was so goodー. Even so I’m still starving, I wonder what’s for dinner? Azami Who knows…. Kumon By the way, I’m thinking of doing a short term part time job. I wanna go touring with nii-chan, so I’ll save up some money for a bike and license. Yamaguchi also said he might want to get a license after he quits baseball club. Do you wanna get a license too Azami? Azami Hm…. Kumon …. Y'know I’ve been kinda wondering… Azami, you’ve been acting weird recently. Azami Eh? Not reallyーー. Kumon Probably after the graduation ceremony in March. Azami ーー. Kumon Did something happen? Azami …. Actually… You don’t have any lessons today? Shifuto Yupー, it’s a rare day off! Azami It’s been a while since we went to eat ramen together hasn’t it? Shifuto Ever since I joined GOD-za, it’s been nothing but lessons. Azami Well I’m free till the graduation ceremony, so it’s perfect timing. Shifuto Yup. Our chairman Reni-san has been looking after me, you see. Coaching me until overtime, I’ve learned a lot from him. With only a bit of advice, my visual performance and movement really changes. It’s seriously like magic. He’s a scary person so he can be harsh. But right now I want to take all of his advice and improve. Azami Hmm… Shifuto Plus, If I keep working hard he said he’d promote me from a trainee into a regular and cast me for the next play. Azami That's incredible. Shifuto He said no one has ever achieved this much this fast before, and that it’s an incredible feat. I’ve always wanted to become an actor, but I didn’t think I’d achieve my dreams so quickly. No one can match Reni-san. I’ve been indebted to him, so I need to return the kindness. Azami … Shifuto Azami? Azami I’ve been quiet about this, but… In the troupe I’m in, there’s ex GOD-za members. Shifuto Hmm, is that so? Azami There’s two members, but… One of them was sent to be a spy by that Reni guy. Shifuto Eh…? Azami That Reni guy told him that as an exchange with a nice place in the cast, he had to mess up my troupe’s performance. Shifuto That can't be… Azami Is it really okay to trust that person…? What if he’s trying to trick you tooーー Shifuto There’s no way he’s doing that! Azami But, isn’t it a little suspicious that he’s promoting you so quickly? Maybe there’s something shady behind that. Shifuto Are you trying to tell me I don’t have that kind of talent? Azami That’s not what I’m saying! Shifuto If you’re going to say that to begin with can you even trust the spy guy’s story? What if he’s just trying to put the blame on Reni-san? Azami That’s not the kind of person he is! Shifuto You can say the same about Reni-san, he’s very earnest about theater. I can’t think of him as someone who would do that. Azami ーー. Shifuto Sorry, I’m going home for today. Azami … … Shifuto You said you wanted to talk, what is it? Azami Today we’re graduating, it wouldn't be good to not talk things out. I said too much the other day, I’m sorry. I was just worried about you, Shifuto. Shifuto …..I said too much too. Azami The troupe I’m in, MANKAI Company, is a really good place. Won’t you come visit sometime? We’re not recruiting right now but, I’ll try to ask the directorーー Shifuto …No, it’s fine. Azami ーー. Shifuto ...Hey, remember when you first joined theater, you gave me a ticket to your performance? Azami Yeah, you said you were busy and couldn’t go, didn’t you? Shifuto About that, I actually always cancelled last minute on purpose. Do you know why? Azami Eh… Shifuto I was jealous that you started theater before me, and I couldn’t go. Always. I told you didn’t I, Azami. Doing theater was always my dream. And yet you, who didn’t actually have any interest in theater, standing on stage, even your dream to be a makeup artist came true. Seeing that figure of yours frustrated me, and in the end I never was able to go. I was the one who wanted to do theater more than you. Azami ーー. So you’ve been thinking like that. I never even realizedーー Shifuto It’s not that it’s your fault, but, sorry. Azami Eh? Shifuto I’m not worthy to stay buddies with you. Azami ーー. .... Kumon ….I see, that must be tough. Azami I understand how he feels, but I can’t even contact him. Kumon Yeah… To think your best friend would join GOD-za, it must've been a shock. Azami When I heard, I was surprised. Kumon There was that time I fought and broke contact with Yamaguchi who I’ve always been in the baseball club with, so I get it. You can’t do much about it, so it’s tough isn't it? Azami .... Kumon But you see, It was because that happened that now I feel like I’m closer than ever with Yamaguchi. When both sides give up, a friendship ends. But when neither gives up, you might reconcile and fix your friendship once more. I’m sure Shifuto-kun needs time to sort out how he feels. But you two are doing theater, so if at least you don’t give up on him, I’m sure there's a chance to talk again. So you absolutely can’t give up! Azami ーーYeah, you’re probably right. Kumon Yeah. Azami This is the first time ever that I feel like you’re older than me. Kumon Eh, for real!? Did I look like nii-chan!? Specifically how many points did I score!? Azami And in an instant you’ve gotten minus points. Kumon Eehー!! That’s fast! Azami But anyway, thanks. Kumon Hehe! We’re back! Azami We’re back. Kazunari This is seriously yikes! What are we gonna do!? Misumi What to doー? Banri They’re so persistent. Kumon …? Azami Sounds like they're making a fuss about something.
