Sakuya I'm looking forwards to our next play. Citron It's really exiting, isn't it~! Itaru Isn't it about time for the script to be done? Masumi He's melding with the PC again. Itaru The last spurt, huh. Sakuya I wonder whether Tsuzuru-kun is alright. He hasn't collapsed agai...... Tsuzuru ...... Sakuya Huh? Tsuzuru-kun? Izumi Could that be the script? Tsuzuru For now, it's mostly done. Citron You're spanky, unlike usual! Itaru You mean, sprightly. Izumi What do you mean by 'mostly'? Tsuzuru I'm slightly stuck on the ending, but the bulk of it is done, so you can have a read. Izumi Okay, got it. (Somehow, he's oddly ambivalent.) ...... (The contents are largely as per the outline.) (The process by which the alchemist Luke and the homunculus S open their hearts to one another is extremely heartwarming.) (The battle against the government which is trying to eliminate S as a forbidden existence. In the midst of this, the two of them cultivate a friendship that goes beyond that of family......) (Yeah, I think it's really good.) ――. (He changed the ending a bit from the outline.) (A sad ending where S dies in battle and Luke closes off his heart......) Sakuya This time it's a tragedy, huh. Citron It's tragic. Tsuzuru I thought it'd be good to have this kind of bitter feel from time to time. Izumi (Hmm......It's a story that tugs at your heartstrings, but I feel like this ending is a little different to the Spring Troupe's image.) Masumi It's not refreshing. Itaru If I had to say, it's maybe more in line with the Autumn Troupe or the Winter Troupe. Tsuzuru I wanted to end things on a different note to usual, but I don't think it fits myself. I thought of a completely happy end as well, but that was odd too. It feels kind of wrong to give their unique friendship a convenient end...... Izumi Hmm, that's true......To have a friendship that goes beyond that of family, there has to be a wall there. Having them clear it easily feels like a waste. Itaru Well, it's our third play, so I do think it's good to have a different atmosphere. Sakuya I also think it'd be nice to have a bit of a poignant air. Tsuzuru I'll think on it a little more. Izumi Okay. Masumi The cast? Tsuzuru From the outline, I'd been thinking of Citron for the role of the homunculus. Citron My gong-faceted second lead role! Tsuzuru Long-awaited. Sakuya I think he's perfect! Itaru Should be good. Masumi What about the lead? Izumi Hmm, what should we do. Sakuya What if you do it, Tsuzuru-kun? Tsuzuru Me? Itaru Now that you mention it, Tsuzuru hasn't been the lead or second lead before. Tsuzuru Yes, it might be good in the sense that you'll build up experience. But the script isn't great this time, so I wonder about that. Sakuya You can come to empathise with your character while practising, so the ending might come to you through that. Itaru I see. Masumi Then, let's do that. Tsuzuru ......Understood. Izumi Alright, then the lead and second lead this time will be Tsuzuru-kun and Citron-kun! Citron I'll show you the success from my MANZAI practice with Tsuzuru! Tsuzuru We don't do that! Manager Eek......My gosh, good golly. Izumi Huh? What's wrong, Manager? Manager Ah, everyone! It's terrible! A suspicious man has been lurking around the dorms. Sakuya A suspicious man......? Manager He ran away when I called out to him, but......Please be on your best guard! Izumi I wonder who he was. Masumi I'll protect you. 24/7. Izumi You don't have to work such long hours. Surely it wouldn't be another spy or something......
