Citron “Kyushu mirin day~!” Kumon I think you’ll look cooler if you move your arms like this! Citron “Gi~mme~gimme milk nyau~~!” Kumon That one was cool! Sakyo Shut up! What’s all this noise. Citron Oh~. I’m building on my role. Kumon We were practicing onmyoji poses! Kyukyunyoritsuryou! Sakyo How is it practice when you get the line wrong every time? At least do it in the practice room. Citron Don’t be circle! Sakyo You mean a square. Kumon Oh, that’s right! I wanna see Sakyo-san’s pose too! Citron Show us an example to help me get into role! Sakyo ...All right, fine. “Kyukyunyoritsuryou!” Itaru .... Izumi Uh, umm, Sakyo-san...? Itaru So Sakyo-san has finally awakened his inner chuuni as well. Sakyo No! I was just showing them an example—. Kumon I brought the manga I was talking about from home! Citron Thank you! Sakyo Oi! Izumi W-well. You’re currently studying how to perform on film, after all! You’re testing the waters, right? Itaru Nice work. I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything. Sakyo Don’t cover for me! Citron By the way, the onmyoji movie I borrowed from Sakyo was entertaining. Sakyo I found a book that looked pretty helpful, too. If you need it, I’ll lend it to you. Citron That would be great~! Guy Furuichi. These were helpful. Thank you. Sakyo Great. Just leave them there. Izumi That’s a lot of books. Sakyo I got a look at everything that seemed necessary for role-building. Guy Different sources present Abeno Seimei in different ways. Sakyo Yeah. Even when it comes to his talent as a onmyoji, there’s a lot of fiction; most of the time, there’s no factual source. Kumon This manga has onmyoji, so you should take a look, Sakyo-san! Seimei is really cool! Citron I’ll give it to you after I’m done. Itaru If you’re looking for something recent, Abeno Seimei appeared in an app that I play, too. Sakyo A game.... Fine, guess I’ll download it. Izumi Eh!? Sakyo-san, you’re going to play a game!? Sakyo I want to take every opportunity to learn more about Abeno Seimei, even if it’s a small help. Izumi (Sakyo-san never plays games, and yet... He’s giving role-building his all.) (He’s reliable, but he’s also participating in that film workshop. I hope he doesn’t push himself too hard....) Sakyo “...Geppaku was supposed to have joined the onmyoji bureau, just like me.” “Our master had high hopes for Geppaku’s talent. But he didn’t make it because of his birth.” ...I should keep my tone down here. Izumi Sakyo-san, Omi-kun made some soup. Why don’t you take a break? Sakyo Yeah, thanks. Izumi Apparently it’s a special soup to treat your skin. Sakyo Tch, so this is bon’s idea. Izumi Looks like you’re putting even more effort into role-building than usual. Sakyo ...That might actually be a sign of my anxiety. I’m not satisfied with my acting. Maybe that’s why I want to take in as much information as possible, in order to make up for what I’m missing. Izumi Why are you dissatisfied? Sakyo .... I have more knowledge of onmyoji and the Heian period, but I’m still unsure about the most important part: do I really want to go with this performance of Seimei? Most movies, games, and novels present Seimei as a mysterious hero who fights off evil spirits. Izumi That’s pretty close to your take on Seimei, Sakyo-san. (A dignified and serious Seimei, who acts like a master towards his shikigami Kou. He’s a truly hero-like hero.) (Because Yuzo-san introduced him to a film workshop, his acting has become more refined; you can even see it in the details of his facial expressions.) (I personally think he’s doing great, but....) Sakyo I still can’t show what Minagi wanted to convey—invisible but certain connections and bonds. I guess Yukishiro has a natural understanding of that, because I can sometimes sense Kou’s compassion towards Seimei. But I can’t return that to him as Seimei. I don’t yet have a grasp of what Yukishiro understands. Izumi (Something invisible... The vagueness might be making it difficult.) If you can sense compassion from Azuma-san’s Kou, you might discover what you’re looking for through repeated practice. Sakyo Yeah.... Izumi Let’s do our best! (Sakyo-san is incredibly motivated. I’m sure he’ll figure it out so long as there’s an opportunity.) (I hope he’ll find it before the film shoot....)
