| Izumi | …Everyone, have you each drawn one? |
| Sakyo | Yeah. |
| Homare | I’m holding onto mine firmly. |
| Muku | Y-Yes! |
| Izumi | Then we’ll all open them when I say ‘go’, okay? |
| Yuki | Got it. |
| Taichi | Understood! |
| Izumi | …We’ll open them when I say ‘go’, yes? |
| Tenma | Ah, geez! You’re so long-winded!! |
| Sakuya | D-Director—! |
| Azuma | Fufu, Director is really good at keeping us in suspense. |
| Kazunari | Geez—! Hurry up, Director-chan—! |
| Izumi | Ahaha, sorry, sorry. I’m excited too, so I accidentally did that. |
| I mean, it’s the first time we’re doing an actual public performance where the troupe members have been shuffled——. |
| |
| Izumi | ——Well then, we’ll end today’s practice here. Good work, everyone! |
| Citron | Good work! |
| Itaru | Good work—. Now, I’ll return to my room and start on my quest——. |
| Izumi | Ah, hold on, Itaru-san! Everyone too, don’t return to your rooms yet. |
| Masumi | …You want to be with me for a while longer? You’re so bold, doing this in front of everyone… |
| //Sound of door opening// |
| Tsumugi | Pardon my intrusion. …Ah, did the practice just end? |
| Omi | Good work. |
| Hisoka | …Zzz… |
| Misumi | I’m here~! |
| Tsuzuru | They’re all coming here one after another… what exactly is going on? |
| Tasuku | We were just told to come here, but we weren’t told the reason. |
| Kazunari | It feels like the leaders weren’t told why either~? |
| Tenma | All I was told was for everyone to gather at the practice room after Spring Troupe’s practice. |
| Itaru | I want to hurry and go back, though. My stamina is already… |
| Tasuku | You’re referring to your in-game stamina, right. |
| Sakyo | …Everyone’s gathered here. |
| Tsumugi | I wonder if they’re announcing a new slogan? |
| Banri | Nah, isn’t it because someone messed up or something? |
| Taichi | Eh?! Ah, don’t tell me they found out about that… |
| Juza | …?! |
| Taichi | The one who said that it can’t be helped that Sakyo-nii’s been listening to me, and taught Kamekichi to sing the parody of the CM loudly recently… [1] |
| I-It was actually me!! |
| Juza | …Th-The one who ate the last almond jelly in the fridge was me… |
| Muku | Eh, ah, I’m sorry, too! |
| Yuki | Did you do something too, Muku? |
| Muku | I don’t remember doing anything, but I could easily have done something… Since I’m like a cloud of dust that’s made up of trash and garbage…! |
| Izumi | Calm down, all of you! |
| Sakyo | Geez, every last one of you… …In any case, let’s put that all aside for now. |
| Do you guys have any plans on the 23rd of December? |
| Omi | The 23rd? No, I don’t have anything on. |
| Homare | I, too, have not made any preparations in advance, so I am free. |
| Kazunari | Over here, over here—! I may have some plans for a mixer! |
| Sakyo | Reschedule that at once. |
| Kazunari | Eeh?! I think I can do that, but… Anyway, is something happening on the 23rd? |
| Sakyo | On the 23rd of December, Mankai Company is holding a Christmas fan meeting. |
| Sakuya | Christmas fan meeting?! |
| Sakyo | It’s also thanks to the fans that all troupes were able to complete their third plays without significant difficulties. |
| I thought it’d be a good opportunity to set up a place where we could show our appreciation to them. |
| Yuki | I see… |
| Tsumugi | Indeed, it’s true that it would be nice if we had a place where we could convey our feelings of gratitude to the customers who always come. |
| Tenma | Yeah. If that’s the case, then I don’t have any objections either. |
| Tsuzuru | But what exactly are we going to do at a fan meeting? |
| Izumi | Of course we’ll be doing a play! |
| But since it’s a fan meeting, it won’t be interesting if we do it the way we always do. |
| Therefore, I was thinking that this time, we’d hold plays in teams where all the troupe’s members have been shuffled! |
| Sakuya | Shuffling all the troupe’s members…?! |
| Sakyo | Matsukawa. |
| Manager | Here, here—! |
| I’ve prepared a box where you draw lots over here! The first generation did plays where the troupe members were shuffled too, and it was really popular! |
| Masumi | Doing a play with different members than usual, huh… |
| Citron | Sounds good~! It seems interesting! |
| Tasuku | It seems like we’ll discover many new things too. |
| Kazunari | Great, great! I’m getting hyped~! |
| Sakyo | Come, hurry and draw the lots. |
| Kazunari | Yeah—! |
| |
| Izumi | Well then everyone, open your lots for the team shuffle. |
| Ready, set…!! |
