Yuzo Hey. I’ve brought a complimentary copy. Kazunari … Taichi … Yuzo The hell are y’all doin’? Hold up, that pose--. Citron … Yuzo God, not again. Stop makin’ fun of me! Kazunari Sowee, sowee--. Citron Yuzo Pose is really popular in the dorm now! Misumi It was in this magz~. Yuzo Geez, so you’ve bought it already, huh. Kazunari We all bought one each, so we have like, more than 10 copies now. Yuzo You bought too much. You should have checked before buying them. Manager … Yuzo Enough of that pose! Damn... Izumi Ahaha, thank you for promoting us. Manager Because of that, we’ve been receiving lots of offers for our regional tours and inquiries about our upcoming play. Yuzo The “Spotlight” reporter is also interested in the newborn MANKAI Company. Maybe you’ll receive an interview offer some time soon. Manager In that case, I need to book a salon appointment! Yuzo Why though? Izumi They won’t take your pics… Manager Ehh… Yuzo I heard you’re going to have a match with GOD-za again for your upcoming play. Izumi Ah, yes. They challenged us. Yuzo One normally would not accept a challenge from a much better opponent that you once defeated. It’s risky. Izumi Haha. I know, right. Yuzo You have a lot of guts. Not bad. But with GOD-za receiving a Fleur Award nomination last year, they have been gaining more strength and reputation as of late. Even though y’all won by a narrow margin, I didn’t think they’d want a rematch… Izumi Me too. I never thought they’d issue another challenge. In the first place, our first Showdown Act was like a bolt from the blue… They didn’t have to bother treating a small, weak theater troupe like us as an enemy. (I wonder why he’s that obsessed with us. Then again, Kamikizaka-san and dad seem to know each other…) Yuzo ...Guess it’s time to break my silence. Izumi Does this also have something to do with dad? (Kamikizaka-san has never told me the details up until now, but Yuzo-san may know something about it.) Yuzo But you’re going to face them. I feel like learning this may weaken your resolution… Izumi I still want to know nonetheless. Yuzo I see… okay, then. Reni Kamikizaka, the chairman of GOD-za, was once… affiliated with MANKAI Company. Izumi Eh!? Manager Eeeeeh!? Izumi You don’t know about this too, manager!? Manager Not at all! Yuzo He left before that Sakyo started frequenting the troupe. No wonder you don't know about it, Isuke. Izumi But we watched lots of videos and saw a bunch of photos too… Manager I didn’t realize it at all. Yuzo Understandable. He didn’t work under his current name at the time. Even his vibe was totally different. It’s a long story. Even us first gen members don’t really talk about it. Izumi I see… Manager I didn’t know something like that happened… Izumi Have you ever worked with Kamikizaka-san before, Yuzo-san? Yuzo Well, sort of. I mean, he’s my senior in high school—both him and Yukio-san. Izumi Eh!? Yuzo The three of us were in a theater club. Manager This is the first time I heard about this…! Izumi So that means you have stood on the stage together with my dad and Kamikizaka-san before? Yuzo Nah, I was a ghost member. We only helped out once when that person was in his third year. They were preparing for a play at the cultural festival that time. Izumi We? Yuzo Me and my childhood friend, Kasumi Hinamori. I mentioned him before, didn’t I? Izumi (Juriko-san…) Yuzo He’s the editor-in-chief of “Spotlight” now. At the time, I had no interest whatsoever in theater. But Kasumi was different. He admired both Yukio-san and Reni-san. Kasumi… That guy dragged me at the time. I didn’t know whether the theater industry was hell or heaven…
