Matsukawa Hmm Hmm Hmm〜 Cleaning up cleaning up, how fun〜 Izumi Ah, the wax there isn’t dry yet so please be careful. Matsukawa Wawawahhー! Izumi Are you okay!? (Just as I said it he slipped and fell…!) Yuzo Oh, there you are. Sakyo What the hell are you doing, Matsukawa… Matsukawa Ow owie… Huh, Yuzo-san, is something up? Yuzo Here, a souvenir from a local performance. Matsukawa Ah! Yatsuhashi! Thank you very much! Yuzo That, and I have something to ask the director. Izumi ? Yuzo I’m going to have a magazine interview after this, is it okay if they advertise this troupe? Izumi Eh!? Advertising MANKAI Company!? Yuzo Our troupe is the special feature but, in the questionnaire I received, there was a question that reads “Are there any other troupes that personally got your attention?” Izumi Of course, it would be a big honour! Matsukawa Please do advertise away for us! Sakyo It’s better if you think twice first. Izumi Eh? Sakyo Giving permission means you’re letting him say whatever he wants. If the old man says something false… Yuzo As usual you don’t close your mouth don’t you, boy? Sakyo ーーOw! Don’t rub my head! Izumi (The only one who can act this carefree around Sakyo-san is Yuzo-san.) Matsukawa By the way, what’s the name of the magazine? Yuzo Do you know of ‘Spotlight’? Matsukawa ‘Spotlight’!? Isn’t that a famous theater magazine!? Izumi Of course, I know of it! (It introduces many troupes from Veludo Way, and it’s good for reference, so it’s a magazine everyone reads) Yuzo I’ll strongly advertise your troupe. Izumi Please do! Sakyo I wonder… Yuzo Speaking of, do you remember that Juliet kid? Sakyo ーーWell, of course I remember. Yuzo It’s been a while, but we might be meeting each other today. Sakyo ーーI see. Spotlight’s chief editor is… Yuzo If we meet, I’ll tell them that the boy from back then is doing well, and that it's about time for them to show their face to MANKAI Company. Izumi (I wonder who 'that Juliet kid' could be referring to…?) Matsukawa Could you be talking about, Hinamori-san!? Izumi Hinamori-san? Matsukawa The first generation’s spring troupe leader! Come on, didn’t we watch the video! The one who played Juliet on the first generation’s Romeo and Juliet play. Izumi (The play we saw during the spring troupe’s Romijuli play…) Aah! That person who was really good at female-roles…!? Matsukawa That’s the one! Sakyo Is Kasumi-san doing well? Yuzo He seems busy, so we haven't been in contact. Geez, so much for a childhood friend. Izumi (They were childhood friends with Yuzo-san, I didn’t know.) Please tell them to not hold back and come over to play anytime. Yuzo Yeah. Izumi (Right, That Kasumi-san stood together with Yuzo-san on MANKAI Company’s stage.) Ah! Speaking of! Sakyo-san, the subject we were going to ask Yuzo-san about the maintenance from the other day, have you asked him? Sakyo Right, we said we’d ask him next time we meet him. Yuzo Maintenance? Matsukawa The other day when we had a contractor do maintenance, they praised our facility. They said it was built to last being used for a long time. Yuzo I see… Izumi From the first generation’s members, was someone good in that field? Yuzo Yeah… Well, that might be true. ーーSorry, it’s about time to go. See you next time. Izumi Ah, take care! Matsukawa For even Yuzo-san to not know… I wonder who it was. Reporter Then, shall we move on to the questions for this time? Yuzo We still have many places to improve on, but we’re intending to advance steadily one step at a time in preparation of the Fleur Award. Reporter Thank you very much. Next, I’d like to interview the man of theater Yuzo Kashima as an individual. Recently, have there been any troupes that caught your attention? Yuzo That would be MANKAI Company. It’s a troupe I used to be affiliated to long ago, but it disbanded. From there they picked it up again and looked for new troupe members, and now they’re working hard as the new MANKAI Company. Sometimes I look after them. The screenwriter working for the troupe is still young yet promising. If they keep growing like this... They might just match the first generation’s. Reporter Do you mean… to Ikaruga Hakkaku-san? Yuzo We still don’t know, though. Reporter Is this a second coming of the legendary script writer who left many of his masterpieces in MANKAI Company and suddenly vanished from the spotlight? Now this is something we can’t miss. Yuzo They're also doing repeat performances locally, so please check them out once. Reporter Yes, I will. With that, the interview is over. Thank you very much. Yuzo What happened to the chief editor? Reporter Ah… Um, today he has other matters to attend to. Yuzo Sigh…. Tell him to at least show his face to me. Reporter Alright.

Manager Dum-dee-dum-dah-dah, cleaning, oh cleaning is so fun~♪ Izumi Ah, the floor is still wet. Please be careful. Manager Whoaaa! Izumi Are you all right!? (He slipped and fell right after I warned him…!) Yuzo Oh, so you're here. Sakyo The hell are ya doin', Matsukawa… Manager Ouch ouch… Huh? Yuzo-san, what brings you here? Yuzo I've brought some souvenirs from my regional tours. Here ya go. Manager Whoa, it's Yatsuhashi …! Thank you! Yuzo And there's something I wanna ask you, general director. Izumi ? Yuzo I'll have a magazine interview after this. Can I promote this theater troupe? Izumi Eh!? Do you mean… promoting this MANKAI Company!? Yuzo My theater troupe is gonna be featured on that magazine's next issue, and one of the questions I got is, "Is there any theater troupe that you personally pay attention to?" Izumi You're more than welcome to do that! Manager Please keep promoting us! Sakyo You better think it over. Izumi Eh? Sakyo By giving him permission, that means you're letting him say whatever he wants. What if this old man spreads everything regardless of whether it's true or not… Yuzo I see this brat still can't keep his mouth shut, huh. Sakyo --Ouch! Take your hands away from my head! Izumi (Yuzo-san is probably the only one who can be this carefree around Sakyo-san) Manager By the way, what magazine is it? Yuzo Do you know "Spotlight"? Manager "Spotlight"!? Isn't that a popular theater magazine!? Izumi There's no way we don't know about it! (That magazine introduces a lot of theater troupes in the Veludo Way. It's a very helpful magazine, so we all read it.) Yuzo I'll make sure to promote y'all. Izumi Please, and thank you! Sakyo I still ain't sure about this. Yuzo Oh yeah, do you still remember Juriko? Sakyo --Well, yeah. Yuzo I may meet him again after a long time today. Sakyo --Oh, right. The editor-in-chief of "Spotlight" is… Yuzo If we meet, I'm gonna tell him the brat from that time is doing well and that he should drop by MANKAI Theater. Izumi (Who is this Juriko they're talking about...?) Manager Are you perhaps talking about Hinamori-san!? Izumi Hinamori-san? Manager He's the first Spring Troupe's leader! You've seen him in that video before! He played Juliet in the first Spring Troupe's "RomiJuli". Izumi (The "RomiJuli" video we watched during Spring Troupe's debut play--) Aaaah! Is it the one who's good at playing female roles…!? Manager That's right! Sakyo How's Kasumi-san doing? Yuzo He's been busy, so we haven't gotten the chance to meet again. Good grief, so much for a childhood friend. Izumi (I didn't know Yuzo-san and him are childhood friends.) Please tell him to come and visit us anytime he wants. Yuzo Sure. Izumi (Come to think of it, both Kasumi-san and Yuzo-san have stood on this theater stage before…) Oh, yeah! Sakyo-san, have you asked Yuzo-san the things we talked about before? The one we discussed after the maintenance. Sakyo Oh, right, you did mention you're gonna ask him. Yuzo Maintenance? Manager The contractors who did the maintenance for our theater praised the construction of the building. They said the person who designed the building must have put a lot of thought into the design so that it could still be used in the long run. Yuzo Ooh… Izumi It made us wonder if there's any OG member who is familiar with this field. Yuzo Hmm… well, there might be one. --My bad, I need to go. See ya later. Izumi Ah, see you later! Manager So Yuzo-san also had no clue… I wonder who on earth this person is… Reporter Next, what are your plans for the future? Yuzo Though we're still far from good, we plan to move forward slowly but surely and aim for the Fleur Award. Reporter Thank you. We're going to conduct an individual interview with Yuzo Kashima-san now. Is there any theater troupe that you pay attention to lately? Yuzo It's MANKAI Company. It's a theater troupe that I was affiliated with, but we disbanded after some time. They have gone through some member changes and are currently working hard as the newborn MANKAI Company. I look after them from time to time. They even have a promising young scriptwriter there. If he continues to improve… he may be just as good as the first gen's scriptwriter, or even better. Reporter By first gen's scriptwriter, you mean… that Hakkaku Ikaruga-san? Yuzo Yeah, but we still don't know yet. Reporter Does this mean we're going to witness the birth of another legendary scriptwriter? The previous playwright suddenly disappeared from the center stage after leaving behind many masterpieces at MANKAI Company. We certainly cannot overlook this. Yuzo They're currently holding repeat performances for their regional tours; you should totally try checking them out. Reporter Sure. That concludes our interview. Thank you. Yuzo I thought the editor-in-chief would be here. What happened? Reporter Ah… Umm, he has to take care of another matter today. Yuzo *sighs*... Tell him to meet me at the very least. Reporter Yes.
