Izumi So that’s how it was… Taichi So Sakyo-nii wasn’t leaving! I’m glad to hear that―! Omi I’m relieved. Banri …Rather, none of this would have happened if you'd at least told us something. Sakyo In other words, you guys understand, don’t you? Juza ? Sakyo I’ll be taking back the training time I missed out on this entire week. Juza ‘Kay. Banri Gotcha. Taichi Let’s do this! Omi We have to put all our enthusiasm into it. Izumi Then, how about we start the night’s practice session at once? Sakyo Honestly, Hyodo, Nanao and Settsu are one thing, but to think that even you, Fushimi, would be affected too. Omi Haha, sorry. I just thought that you had a life we didn’t know about too. Sakyo …I’ve made you worry, huh. Omi Did you meet Juza on the way back? Sakyo No, That guy saw me on the train and followed me. I only noticed him while we were viewing the inside of the apartment. Omi I see… Sakyo And then, I talked a bit about my past… I couldn’t help but go on and on about the boring stuff. It wasn’t my intent to do so though. He just happened to resemble me a little, so I couldn’t help it. Omi Resemble? Sakyo He’d probably lead a life filled with regrets if he continued smothering his feelings towards acting… Like I said, perhaps he will. Omi He has changed ever since he started acting in plays. Juza and you, both. Sakyo Yeah… Juza “Say, will you take revenge for my father?” “There’s trouble brewing internally as well, so I can’t make any reckless moves. Please. You’re the only one I can rely on.” Sakyo “I’ve not forgotten my gratitude towards you father. I’ll protect the Tatsuta group.” Izumi (Amazing…their interactions with each other are obviously getting better and better!) (It’s not as if all the awkwardness between their interactions have completely disappeared. Compared to before, there’s a sense of unity being created between Kazama and Tatsuta right now.) (Juza-kun’s Tatsuta Ken has also taken a turn for the better, or rather, he’s more prideful now.) Okay, let’s take a break for ten minutes now. Juza ‘Kay. Taichi Okay! Izumi Juza-kun, your portrayal of Tatsuta’s behaviour has improved a lot! There was no sense of inferiority even when you were acting side-by-side with Sakyo-san. Did you have a change of mind or something? Juza …Rather than calling it a change of mind, I guess I understood something after talking face-to-face with him. Ever since our opening play, Sakyo-san has always been the only one among us who’s stoic towards the plays. I respected that part of him and had longed to be the same. Or rather, I might have been unconsciously thinking that Sakyo-san was someone beyond my capabilities. But he also gets troubled by things, dragged around and painstakingly reached his goal. So I guess we’re the same. I didn’t notice it at first so I didn’t really have the confidence to stand side-by-side with him as a co-lead. Izumi …I see. (So the change in his acting had been because of the understanding he has towards Sakyo-san… because he had found the courage he needed to stand side-by-side with him…) (The rest of the Autumn Troupe might actually be just like Juza-kun.) (Just like how Sakyo-san feels like there’s a division between them because of their age differences and his standing, everyone else too…) (Sakyo-san might need to talk to the others more frequently. I’m certain that the play will come to new heights if he does.) Banri …So how about we try out what we talked about the other day? Sakyo …Are we going to be doing that during the performing period too? Izumi Of course! Okay, the cue for the person with questions for the talk corner! Taichi Me, me—! Izumi Yes, Taichi-kun. Taichi What kinds sweets did you like back when you were kids? Izumi Good one! Omi Now that’s a nice one. Banri Let’s go with that then. Sakyo Haa… Taichi I liked plum-flavoured snack bars! Banri Oh— that’s simple. Sakyo I had those too when I was a kid… Taichi It’s a cheap sweet that always satisfies me! Izumi What about you, Juza-kun? Juza I liked the cookies and cakes my mother baked herself in general and also her pudding, creampuffs, eclairs, pies and… Banri That’s way too much! Omi So Juza’s love of sweets was because of his mother, huh. Juza They’re as about as delicious as the ones you make, Omi-san. Izumi (It doesn’t matter how many times it takes but so long as they build up their communication through the daily questions…) (Everyone seemed to think that it was just a bother in the beginning but they look like they're enjoying in the end. The feeling of solidarity between them all has improved compared to before.) (Most of the members in the Autumn Troupe don’t really like making small talk so times like this are important for them.) (Yesterday’s rehearsal was perfect too, so they’ll probably get some good experiences out of this.) Taichi How about you, Director-sensei? Izumi I liked Baby Moon Ramen’s curry flavour. Banri Limited to curry-flavours only, huh… As expected of you. Omi What about you, Sakyo-san? Sakyo …”Please give me a stamp.” Banri Ha? Juza Stamp…? Taichi Is something the matter, Sakyo-san? Omi If you’re talking about the Theater Company’s stamp, the manager… Sakyo Could it be that none of you know about it? Izumi Oh, I know! It’s chocolate in the shape of a stamp, isn’t it? You can find your own family name on it, right~? Juza …Don’t know about that. Banri Never seen it. Taichi That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Sakyo …… Izumi (I guess there’s nothing we can do about the generation gap right now…) (But everyone will certainly be more relaxed on the day itself if we do this.) (It’s finally the first day of the performances… I’m looking forward to the actual performance today too!) Sakyo …… Taichi Sakyo-nii, your face is stiff! Please turn into your usual terrifying Yakuza-look! Sakyo It’s actually the former. Omi I guess we’re all ready to go. Banri Sakyo-san, won’t you start this off all yakuza-like? Sakyo …Geez, don’t go saying that all of a sudden. ——Let’s go, all of ya! Juza ‘Kay! Omi Gotcha! Banri Got it! Taichi Gotcha bro!
