| Izumi | Well then, um, which of you two delinquent boys wants to go first? |
| Youth With Sharp Eyes | Guess I’ll go then. |
| Juza | Who put you in charge? |
| Youth With Sharp Eyes | Aah? It’s first come first served. |
| Juza | Who the hell said that? |
| Izumi | All right, that’s enough. Could you—the one with the sharp eyes—introduce yourself? |
| Banri | Settsu Banri. Third Year at Hanasaki Academy. I’ve got no acting experience. |
| “Hello, mom? It’s me. I just checked out the results.” |
| “Yeah. I was accepted. For real. Yeah, I can’t believe it, but.” |
| “Thank you.” |
| Izumi | (Huh? He’s good. He paused at all the right moments too.) |
| You really don’t have any experience at all? |
| Banri | Nope. But I can handle this much no problem. |
| Izumi | (You really can’t judge people by their appearances. If he improves, he might be able to play any role.) |
| Well then, next is the one with the slicked-back hair—Juza-kun? |
| Juza | Hyodo Juza. Third Year at Ouka High. I’ve never done theatre. |
| “Hello, mom? It’s me. I just checked out the results.” |
| “Yeah. I was accepted. For real. Yeah, I-I can’t believe it, but.” |
| “Thank you.” |
| Izumi | .... |
| (He’s splendidly terrible... a true daikon[1]. Even for beginners, it's rare for someone to be this bad. I can relate to him a bit...) |
| Banri | ...Bwahahahahahah! The fuck was that!? You’re the worst! Are you kidding!? Ahahahaha! My stomach hurts! |
| Izumi | Hey, Banri-kun! |
| Juza | ——. |
| Izumi | Juza-kun, please, no fighting, okay!? |
| Juza | —I know I suck. But I wanna act no matter what. Please let me join the troupe. |
| Izumi | Eh... |
| Juza | ....Please, I’m serious. |
| Izumi | (He's bowing his head; he doesn't care that he's being made fun of... Juza-kun seriously wants to act...) |
| ...When it comes to acting, the most important things are earnestness and a desire to improve. We’d love to have you. |
| Juza | You sure...? |
| Izumi | Don’t worry! I have an endless stock of practice menus for daikon actors, after all! |
| (Seems like everything I researched for myself will come in handy!) |
| Juza | Please take care of me. |
| Banri | Oi, man, are you serious? You’re gonna take someone who sucks that bad? |
| Sakyo | Well, better him than someone with a bit of skill and no passion. |
| Banri | ...Aah? Who’re you saying that to, old man? |
| Sakyo | ...I could say the same to you—who do you think you’re staring at? |
| Izumi | (Oh no! A fire’s starting over here too....!) |
| Lastly, Sakyo-san! Please go ahead! |
| Sakyo | Furuichi Sakyo. I had a bit of acting experience as a kid, but that’s all. |
| Izumi | (I guess he’s talking about when he was in the video of the original Summer Troupe? So he didn’t end up doing theatre when he got older.) |
| Well then, please proceed with your lines. |
| Sakyo | ...“Hello, mom? It’s me. I just checked out the results.” |
| “Yeah. I was accepted. For real. Yeah, I can’t believe it, but.” |
| “Thank you.” |
| Izumi | (Amazing. I can’t believe he took a break from acting. He’s good, but it’s more than that—he’s the only one with such developed technique...) |
| (Sakyo-san will be a great asset to the troupe right away.) |
| |
| Izumi | ...And that’s the end of the audition. |
| As for the results, all five of you are in! |
| Sakyo | It’s exactly as many people as we needed, after all. |
| Omi | Thank goodness. |
| Kazunari | Congrats, Autumn Troupe~! |
| Muku | Congratulations! |
| Taichi | TY for the welcome! |
| Yuki | No class... |
| Banri | Well, if Hyodo can get in, obviously anyone can. |
| Juza | You don’t even give a shit about acting. Just quit now. |
| Banri | Aah? I’m a thousand times better than a total daikon like you. Just quit and go back to the fields. There’s no point aiming higher than that. |
| Juza | The hell did you just say? |
| Izumi | Hey, you two, don’t fight— |
| Banri | I’m telling you to fulfill your role as a daikon and become an ingredient in miso soup or something. |
| Juza | Who the fuck are you calling a daikon, fox-face? Go back to the mountains. |
| Izumi | (They’re not listening at all...) |
| Sakyo | Shut the hell up! Stop rattling on! The director said everyone was accepted! Just shut your mouths and accept it! |
| Banri | ——. |
| Juza | ——. |
| Taichi | He’s a real yakuza~! |
| Omi | He is indeed a yakuza. |
| Kazunari | The welcoming mood made me totally forget for a sec. |
| Izumi | W-well then, everyone, I’m going to explain how the troupe works, so let’s head over to the dorms! |
| Banri | ...Hmph. |
| Juza | ...Hmph. |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san helped me out back there, but this troupe might be the most tense of them all...!) |
