| Yuki | Here. It’s your turn, Triangle Alien. |
| Misumi | Yaaay! |
| Yuki | Hurry up and write it so we’ll make it in time, okay? |
| Misumi | Don’t worry. I’m all prepared~. |
| Rustle rustle.... |
| Yuki | ...What are you planning to do with all that stuff? |
| Misumi | Triangles! I’m gonna glue them all on here~. |
| Yuki | Wait—if you paste all that, we won’t be able to close the notebook... |
| Misumi | Heave-ho, here we go.... |
| Yuki | Are you listening to me? |
| Misumi | ...I’m done~!! |
| Yuki | Wait, it’s all triangles. Aren’t you going to write anything? We’re supposed to write messages to Director. |
| Misumi | Yup, it’s a message! |
| Yuki | I think Triangle Alien is the only one who understands triangle language. |
| Misumi | Eh~, really~? |
| I found lots of precious triangles this past year with Director-san, so I wanted to let her know that. |
| There are lots of triangles, but each and every one is precious. These are triangles I couldn’t have found without Director-san. |
| That’s why I’m sharing these triangles as a thank-you. |
| Yuki | I have no idea what you’re saying as usual, but... well, that’s fine. |
| Misumi | (...Of course, it’s not just triangles visible to the eye.) |
| |
| Hakkaku | “If you can discover the three treasures of your life, I’m sure you’ll find happiness.” |
| Misumi | “Just three?” |
| Hakkaku | “Yeah. It’s bad to get greedy. The things that are truly important are few in number.” |
| Misumi | “Huh...” |
| Hakkaku | “You’ll understand one day.” |
| |
| Misumi | (Triangles, theater, and everyone in the troupe—these are my precious, precious triangles of happiness.) |
| Yuki | Well then, make sure you hand it to the next person. |
| Misumi | Yup! I’ll go hand it to Muku and Kazu~! |
| |
| Muku | Wow~! Everyone’s personality is shining through! |
| Kazunari | Everyone has too much freedom! |
| Muku | Let’s make our pages exciting too. |
| Kazunari | Yup yup, this is our opportunity to stand out~. |
| Hey, wait, Mukkun, we have side to side pages. Let’s collab!? |
| Muku | Oh! That sounds good. |
| That’s right! Since our pages are side to side, how about we make it like a pop-up book? |
| Kazunari | Mukkun, genius! |
| Muku | Ehehe. |
| Kazunari | So we have one page. We should make it something that’ll catch her eye. |
| Muku | How about a theater? |
| Kazunari | Let’s add all the troupe members too! |
| Muku | I want to set it up so we can move them around on stage. |
| Kazunari | Omg, that idea gets 100 likes! Let’s get started! |
| |
| Muku | I should cut it like this? |
| Kazunari | Yup, looks goo~d! |
| Muku | (But wow, it’s already the first anniversary... time really flew by.) |
| (When I got injured and couldn’t take part in club activities anymore, there was this huge hole in my heart, and I didn’t feel like doing anything at all. That all feels so distant now.) |
| (Back then, I felt awkward around my former teammates too. I was so disappointed in myself; it was hard.) |
| (But now, I’m working towards a new goal with these teammates who I love so much...) |
| (I’m glad I joined this troupe; I’m glad I started acting.) |
| (If I hadn’t, I don’t think I would’ve gotten close to this many people.) |
| (Our ages, personalities, hobbies—they’re all different, but we all treasure the stage in the same way...) |
| (Thanks to theater, I could change my weak-willed self.) |
| (The first performance, the second, and the third—each time, I was allowed to take on roles that broke me out of my shell. I feel more confident now.) |
| |
| Izumi | “Treasures can’t be obtained easily, right? What would our navigator Henry do at a time like this?” |
| Muku | “Henry would…” |
| Izumi | “Yup. Henry would?” |
| Muku | “...He would obtain any sort of treasure.” |
| Izumi | “That’s the spirit.” |
| |
| Muku | (Those opportunities let me believe in my potential—that I can discover all sorts of sides to myself.) |
| (If I keep this up, maybe one day, I can play a prince—a prince that I can be proud of...) |
| (I’m glad I gathered up the courage to join this troupe. Director-san, thank you for accepting me.) |
| |
| Muku | Kazu-kun, I’m done with my part. |
| Kazunari | Looks good! Then let’s merge the two~. |
| Muku | Yup! |
| Kazunari | (Hn~, collaborating really is so so so fu~n!) |
| (It’s like all sorts of ideas just pop up—ideas that you’d never think of alone. It’s super exciting!) |
| (Most of my pieces in college are individual projects, but joining this troupe let me collaborate in so many ways.) |
| (Even our flyers—there’s Tsuzurun, who builds an incredible worldview, and Yukki, who creates the best outfits ever...) |
| (And Omimi, who takes super stylish photographs, and everyone else who performs with so much expression...) |
| (Plus, plus, there’s Director-chan, who helps come up with all of that, and then me, who designs—and then we finally get our final product!) |
| (That’s the sort of thing you can never create when you’re alone.) |
| (It can be difficult, but it’s equally rewarding. It stays in your heart—each and every flyer is full of memories.) |
| (Just looking at the flyers is enough to bring back moments from those performances.) |
| (Yeah, how should I put it, this kind of thing is nice~. I didn’t know this kind of feeling when I was drawing on my own.) |
| (Plus, since joining this troupe, I learned how to face other people properly....) |
| |
| Izumi | “Kuro’s outfit is a little mature and cool, too.” |
| Kazunari | “...Hmm. But for Yukki, this design seems kinda average. Like, you’re not challenging yourself; it doesn’t have your usual taste.” |
| Izumi | “Eh?” |
| Yuki | “What? You have a complaint?” |
| Kazunari | “Ah, sorr—.” |
| Yuki | “This is the best I can do right now! I know better than anyone else that it’s mediocre! If you don’t like it, don’t wear it!” |
| |
| Kazunari | (Telling other people my opinion, and arguing with them—that was what I was worst at. But I can face everyone here properly. I want to face everyone properly.) |
| (Because I learned that if we clash and resolve our issues, an even better future will lie ahead of us... that’s why I can argue with everyone.) |
| (By telling each other what we think, we can make our designs and acting even better than they are now.) |
| (If I’m working with everyone here, I can make better and better things. It’s kinda amazing how I can believe in that.) |
| (Yeah, I’m glad I joined this troupe.) |
| (Thanks, Director-chan. I’ll do my best from now on too!) |
| Hey, hey, Mukkun, look at us... aren’t we like, godly? |
| Muku | Fufu! I want to show Director-san as soon as I can. |
