The Adventure for Sardines
Episode 2

Previous	Event Story	Next
Izumi Well then, is there any role that you're hoping to play? (Last time they all wanted to play the protagonist, so we ended up making Arabian Nights' protagonists the motif.) (But this time all characters are not famous, and the script is already done. What should I do if they fight over a role...) Tenma The protagonist Shiro has a childish personality. I think it'll suit the middle schooler group. Muku I see. That's right, indeed. Yuki If you said so, the second lead that is Shiro's big brother, Kuro, will be played by the old people group then? Kazunari Yukki, you're cruel! Tenma You could have said the older group instead! Izumi (Eh... Everyone is not fighting over the protagonist role? They are trying to deepen their understanding of each roles properly and decide their role?) (Everyone has grown....) Muku What's wrong, Director-san? Izumi Ah! No, it's nothing. Is there anyone who wants to play a specific role? Misumi I want to play the brothers Mike and Tama with Tenma! Tenma Why!? Izumi Mike and Tama are brothers whom the protagonists Shiro and Kuro meet in the middle of their adventure, huh. They are house cats brothers who grew up in comfort. The little brother Tama is full of curiosity, and the big brother Mike is vigilant yet will accompany Tama since he loves his little brother... Tama does suit Misumi-kun, and Tenma-kun may be perfect for Mike. Misumi I'll loaf around as a house cat together with Tenma~ Tenma Why me, though? Misumi Hmmm, Tenma seems like a house cat, somehow~? Tenma I don't get it. Yuki It means that you're unworldly, doesn't it? Kazunari Aah, now that you mention it, both Tenten and Sumi are a bit different from ordinary people. Tenma Don't lump me together with this guy! Izumi Do you hate the Mike role, Tenma-kun? Tenma ....I don't particularly hate it. Yuki You should just keep your mouth shut, then. Annoying. Tenma I just hate the reason, that's all! Izumi Well then, Mike and Tama roles have been decided. Is there anything else? Muku Umm... I want to play Nora. Izumi Nora? Tenma Nora is a traveling cat, he's a brusque character, huh. It's surprising to know that Muku wants to play that role. Yuki If I must say, Muku has the protagonist Shiro's image. Izumi I know right. Why do you want to play Nora? Muku I think a wanderer cat is cool... Even his lines sound manly, that's why I want to be like that too. Bu-but of course I know it doesn't suit me. I am just a flabby fish cake, a limp konjac, a boiled potato, after all... Izumi That's not it! All of them are delicious, you know! Tenma A wanderer cat with Muku's aura may be interesting. Izumi Right. The motivation to play is also important. I think it'll be a good challenge. Muku Thank you! Izumi All that left are the protagonists Shiro and Kuro... (To think that only the protagonist roles remain... If it was before, this kind of scene is unimaginable.) (Everyone doesn't think about how to stand out in the play, instead they think about each roles carefully...) (They really have grown...) Yuki What are you staring at? Kazunari Are you okay, Director-chan? Izumi Ah! Sorry, sorry! If you two do it, I guess Yuki-kun can be Shiro and Kazunari-kun can be Kuro... Not to mention you two have the age gap as well. Kazunari No problem at all~ Yuki I don't mind. Izumi But Yuki-kun will be the leader and costumes designer, see, won't the burden be too heavy for you? Just now you even said that making cat ears and tails is a hard work, are you okay with that? Yuki I can do it. I was the second main lead in our last performance, you know. Izumi You sure? Kazunari If it's about the design, you can also consult it with me. Tenma As the leader of Summer Troupe, I'll cooperate too. Misumi I'll help too~! Muku If there's anything I can do, I'll help out too, Yuki-kun. Izumi Everyone... (They're different from their last performance. They have built a trusting relationship with each other. They'll be fine for sure.) That's right. We will support Yuki-kun together. With this, we have decided that Yuki-kun will be the protagonist as well as the leader for this play. Kazunari Yukki, you can always count on me. Yuki It's fine. Designing the costumes won't take too much time, after all. Kazunari Haha~ you're right. Muku Yuki-kun always makes the rough design in no time, huh. Izumi Okay, I'd like to start the first practice for Summer Troupe's second play "The Adventure for Sardines". Firstly, is there anything that the leader, Yuki-kun, like to say? Yuki Anything to say? Izumi Something to bring out enthusiasm, or some advices for practice. Yuki I don't really have something to bring out enthusiasm, though... But I think it'd be nice if the brothers pairs, Shiro-Kuro and Tama-Mike, cooperate with each other as much as possible. Izumi You're right. Tenma Understood. Kazunari Okay! Yukki, let's get along well! Izumi (Yuki-kun may be young, but he's reliable. He's doing great as a leader.) Okay, start from the beginning――. Muku "Somewhere in this world, it seems there's a treasure that will make any cat melts in just one bite. It is called "sardines"." Yuki "Shardines..." Kazunari "Sardines." Yuki "Shardines." Kazunari "Shiro, try saying 'naninuneno.'" Yuki "Nyanyinyunyenyo." Izumi (It's an adventure story of cats traveling around in search of sardines...) (Since we haven't even tried this kind of setting before, I wonder how it'll be going. But since everyone's acting skill has increased, I guess they won't have too much trouble.) (Nevertheless, the overall line is...) Misumi "Okay, I'll go search the sardines with you guys too!" "Mike should go as well" Tenma "It can't be helped nya..." Izumi ....Cute. Tenma Don't call me cute! Yuki It seems the cat language is not coming out. Muku Yuki-kun has it the hardest, huh. Kazunari In order for us to master it, should we talk in cat language from now on~? Yuki Kuro doesn't need to talk in cat language, you know. Misumi The real cat language is like this, see~ Nya~ nyanyanya~ purr purr. Izumi You're good! Muku Where does the sound come out from? Misumi You see~ you have to twist your throat. Yuki Do that later, you two. Izumi Look, guys, let's go back to practice. Misumi Ye~s! Yuki "If it's cat powder, I don't nyeed nyanything nya!" Kazunari "Open your eyes, Shiro!" Yuki "Go somewhere else nya! The cat powder is all Shiro's nya!" Kazunari "Do as you damn well!" Izumi .... (Uhh... What is it? The two of them sure have better acting skill than their last performance, but I feel like something is missing...) (I am sure there is something missing between Kuro and Shiro.) Tenma I think Kuro and Shiro's relationship isn't conveyed well. Izumi Ah! That's right! I was just thinking that something is missing as well. Yuki Relationship? Kazunari The lil and big brothers' relationship? Tenma They have been together since children, they're like real brothers, you know. And that didn't come out. Izumi Yeah. Yuki-kun's Shiro is too reliable. I feel like you're standing on your own. Maybe that's because Yuki-kun is like that in real life... Tenma On the contrary, Kazunari doesn't seem like a big brother. I've played the role of a firstborn son before. A big brother has to be more assertive and caring, see. Izumi The audaciousness is not there, huh. Kazunari I see~. Yuki ...Let's do it once more. Yuki "If it's cat powder, I don't nyeed nyanything nya!" Kazunari "Open your eyes, Shiro!" Yuki "Go somewhere else nya! The cat powder is all Shiro's nya!" Kazunari "Do as you damn well!" Izumi Uhh... Tenma Well, it's still our first practice. It's normal. Yuki .... Kazunari An already made role is hard! Hang in there, Yukki! Izumi Indeed, everyone may have to step up their game in this play. But it's better for us to improve little by little without being impatient. Yuki ....
