YukiThe deadline is the day after tomorrow, right?
IzumiYeap.
OmiWe still can’t come up with an answer, huh.
IzumiYeah, this is hard.
TenmaAlthough there’s almost nothing we can get from accepting the challenge, it doesn’t mean we can come to a clear decision that easily.
Taichi
One, two, three, four…
ReniAnd you think you have the qualification to stand at the top…? How ridiculous.
Taichi--.
ReniYou don't have any flowers in you. Even if you go onstage, nobody will look at you. The most suitable place for an actor like you is the corner of the stage.
There's no way a worthless, generic actor is qualified to stand at the center of the stage.
Taichi(Back when I was still an invisible actor... I thought what Reni-san told me was right…)
(I was sure I wasn't cut out to be an actor shining at the top.)
(However, the Autumn Troupe members knocked over all the negative feelings I had, including the fact that I had accepted I would not be able to stand at the top. They gave me confidence and a place to belong.)
(I…)
"...I want to live. I don't want to die like this."
"Wolf, I think I wanted to see the world."
"Wolf is a 'seed' of this world."
"Leavin' me behind like that… are you treatin' me like a total stranger, aniki!?"
"Don't say such cold things."
"I was saved by you in the past, aniki. So I'm gonna follow you even to the depths of hell for this favor!"
"Hh… Hh… Aniki, is this enough to return my favor…? I guess not…?"
"...I found something yummy."
"Let me eat!"
"Wait for us, Han-aniki! We're gonna avenge you!"
"Take this, the soup of life!"
"Order's up!"
(Thanks to everyone, I think I have grown a lot since that time.)
(...I want to show it to that person.)
(I'm different from back then. Now, I can stand at the center of the stage with confidence--.)
(But no matter how you look at it, this is a personal matter. I can't just make Tsumugi-san, Tasuku-san, and everyone in the troupe to go alo--.)
BanriPiss off! You're in the way!
JuzaI could say the same to you.
BanriI came in first!
JuzaI came earlier.
TaichiBan-chan? Juza-san?
BanriHey.
JuzaYou're early today, Taichi.
TaichiMornin'!
Banri...So, what's up?
TaichiEh?
BanriYou always rehearse like mad when you're stuck on some problems.
JuzaYou can talk about anything to us.
Taichi...Thanks, you two.
...There's something I wanna discuss with the Autumn Troupe members.
TsumugiWe had a hard time during our debut show.
TasukuYeah, true. A lot of things happened during our rehearsal, but that weird doll was a total pain in the arse.
TsumugiIt still felt like a dream whenever I looked back on that. What if we get thrown into another time loop over a stupid fight again?
TasukuAnything but that.
TsumugiHaha, I get you.
Ah, but if we put that doll to good use, I think we can have lots of time to practice.
TasukuSo like a time chamber? You have a point…
TsumugiI feel like someone will call us theater fools if they hear this conversation.
Tasuku...So what are you gonna do?
TsumugiThey also chose you, Tasuku. Why only me?
TasukuThat's because you're gonna be the leading actor.
TsumugiYou seem frustrated.
I mean, I'm sure you already know what I want to do.
TasukuWell, yeah. I know better than anyone that you hate losing though you don't look like it.
TsumugiEven though I regained the confidence to keep acting after joining this troupe, Kamikizaka-san's words still haunt me to this day.
Compared to that time, I feel like I've become more expressive the more I perform with Winter Troupe members.
That's why I can't help but think that… I may be able to show that person the ideal beauty he's been pursuing through my acting now.
We watched GOD-za's play during our college days, didn't we?
TasukuYeah, we didn't know what to do in the future at that time.
TsumugiI was overwhelmed by that integrated worldview. It was a performing art that only focused on one thing, "beauty."...
I thought you and I could be even better actors than we were back then if we joined that theater troupe. I thought we could perform impressive plays.
I genuinely admire the plays that Kamikizaka-san produces.
That's why, I feel like I can go one step ahead if I can deliver a performance that he acknowledges.
I may be able to stand on the stage with more confidence.
If I have the chance to take on this challenge once more, I want to take it. I want to surpass my past self.
TasukuI understand how you feel.
When we were rehearsing for "Die by the Sword", Reni-san said that my acting level had plummeted. He said I had gotten too comfortable with my surroundings and let my skills be tainted by them.
I want to win against that person again and tell him with confidence that I could grow this much because those guys are here with me in this troupe. I want to prove this to him.
TsumugiI feel the same way.
TasukuThe problem is, we will get everyone involved if we accept this challenge.
TsumugiYeah. How should we tell this to director-san and the others…
TaichiAh, found them!
BanriWhat's more, both of them are here.
JuzaDo you have a moment?
Tsumugi?
