Izumi | (Last ones from Summer Troupe are those two.) |
Muku | Ah, welcome, director-san! |
Kazunari | Nice timing, director-chan♪ We're just having tea together! |
Muku | Kazu-kun bought some soft macaron crepes. It's popular right now. |
Kazunari | It's very popular on Instablam, and tasty too. Wanna take a bite, director-chan? |
Izumi | They look so cute! If you insist, then… |
| ...No, this isn't why I'm here! That was closeーI was almost tempted to join your tea party. |
| I'm here to film the anniversary video. |
Kazunari | Oh yeah, you're right! We're gonna put in commentary and something like that, right? That's so lit~! |
Muku | If I remember correctly, we're going to roll the dice to decide on the topic and choose a scene, right? |
Izumi | Yup, yup. |
| Okay then, let's start from the lead actor of Summer Troupe's fifth play, Kazunari-kun. Here, take the dice. |
Kazunari | 'Kay! What. kind. of. topic. will I get? Here we go! |
Muku | The topic is… "An episode where you failed." |
Kazunari | Dang~. I was having a hard time since we had a lot of action scenes. If we're talking about failure, it'd take forever. |
| Hmm… But I think this scene is the one that I remember the best. |
| |
Izumi | (This is from the sixth day of night showing. In this scene, Kiichi and Yoshimaru delivered a letter to Young Lordーー.) |
Young Lord | "...Is this really from the princess?" |
Yoshimaru | "Eh? Ah, this one? Yes~! As you can see, you can write and draw on this!" |
Young Lord | "That's paper!" |
Kiichi | "Paper is that wide and blue place where you can see ships embark on a journey to find treasures." |
Young Lord | "That's sea!" |
Yoshimaru | "Sea is the thing that's useful for catching fish." |
Young Lord | "That's net!" |
Kiichi | "No, no. Sea is like this, y'know? Ride the wave!" |
Young Lord | "That's waves!" |
Yoshimaru | "Wave helps me hear Young Lord's dignified voice very well…" |
Young Lord | "That's ears!"[1] |
Kiichi | "Smile, smile!" |
Young Lord | "Will you cut it out!? I asked whether this is from the princess!!" |
Izumi | (The ad libs were lively and Summer Troupe-like, but…) |
| ...Too long. |
Kazunari | That's right~! |
| As the people who came to re-watch our show increased, the reaction was getting weak. |
| So that's why we played around with ad libs. But we ended up having so much fun it went too long~. |
| Tehepero! This kind of thing happens pretty often in Summer Troupe~. |
Muku | Ahaha, yeah… |
Izumi | But well, that's one of the things that make Summer Troupe's plays different from others. |
Kazunari | I know that ad libs are merely extra elements that aren't necessary to be put in a play… There's no meaning in putting them in if it's going to ruin the original flow of the play, but… |
| Exchanging ad libs with one another is fun, and the audience enjoys it too. So it just happens. |
Muku | During our debut show, we were told to make it our motto to have fun first before entertaining the audience. |
Kazunari | Yup, yup! That's why we can't stop throwing in ad libs… |
| But we need to be careful not to have too much fun all by ourselves. I think this is a challenge for us. |
| Everyone might be thinking the same thing, not just me. |
Izumi | Yup, you have a point. |
Kazunari | I feel like my acting has become a little bit more stable than before, but since I've chosen both acting and art, I have to give my all to both of them without compromise. |
Izumi | (Just like Kumon-kun, Kazunari-kun also has his own worries concerning ad libs.) |
| (Nonetheless, Kazunari-kun is thinking ahead.) |
| (Kumon-kun who is working hard to catch up, and Kazunari-kun who is walking with his gaze fixed on the future in front of him…) |
| (But neither of them will leave anyone behind, and that is Summer Troupe's strong point.) |
Kazunari | Alrighty! Shall we shoot the video message next? |
| On second thoughts, angle does matter! Hmm, the camera's position and background… |
Izumi | It'll take forever if we cared too much about that. I think this is fine… |
Kazunari | Eh, you think so~? OK then, I'll go like this. Kazunari Miyoshi's video message, start! |
| |
Muku | Whoa, Kazu-kun's message is so beautiful. |
Kazunari | Hehe, TYSM! Mukkun, it's your turn now! |
Muku | Y-Yes. I'm rolling the dice now… woops! |
Izumi | Oh? Muku-kun got the same topic as Kazunari-kun, "An episode where you failed." |
Kazunari | Seriously!? As expected of roommates, we're so close~! |
Muku | An episode where you failed… |
| Since the opening show, I was so nervous that I messed up my lines, and I almost fell down during that sceneーー. |
| I couldn't respond to the ad libs well at the time, and I almost dropped the props in the next scene after thatーー. |
| This and that happened back then. I'm really just a weak, withered radish that fell to pieces… |
Kazunari | Mukkun? Mukkuuuun? |
Izumi | Uh, uh…. Oh, yeah! Since you got the same topic, let's change it! I'll allow it just for this time! |
| The topic that has yet to come out within Summer Troupe is… "Unforgettable scene". Let's go with that one, shall we!? |
Muku | Unforgettable scene? |
| If that's so… There's a scene that remains deep in my heart. |
| It was during the final scene of the closing show… |
| |
Izumi | (After the curse has been lifted, Florence and Rose get married…) |
Florence | "Still, I was really surprised to find out that Rose is the princess." |
Broto | "You didn't seem to notice it at all, your highness." |
| "*sighs*, you're as carefree and easy-going as ever, just like a flower garden[2]" |
Rose | "You have a point…" |
Florence | "Do you mean my beauty is that of a glorious flower garden? That's obvious!" |
Rose and Broto | "I've never said that." |
Broto | "My, my…" |
| "...But you're fine just the way you are." |
Izumi | (What a tender smile… The last line was Kumon-kun's ad lib.) |
| (Before the closing show, Kumon came to me and Tsuzuru-kun to discuss this.) |
Muku | I tried my best to act as the prince that I've been dreaming of... |
| Hearing Broto's lines in the closing show, I felt like all my efforts had been acknowledged. |
| It made me so happy and emotional. |
| Because everyone believed in me, I could be a prince just the way I am. |
| I'm really glad I could confidently stand on stage as Prince Florence. |
Izumi | Yeah… |
Kazunari | Mukkun's Prince Florence was so cool, he could bring miracles. I love him too! |
Muku | Ehehe, thanks…! |
Izumi | Okay, let's shoot the video message. |
Muku | Yes! |
| |
| Phew… thank you. |
Izumi | Good job. With this, I'm done filming Summer Troupe's part. |
Kazunari | Mukkun's comment was so good, I can't wait to watch the others~! |
Izumi | Your personalities came out quite a bit in the videos. |
Kazunari | Really!? I'm hyped! |
Muku | Whoah, I wonder how the final product will be. I'm excited to see it. |
Kazunari | That's a mood~. I'm fired up to edit the footage! |
Izumi | ...Say, Kazunari-kun, do you need to use a video editing software to edit them? |
Kazunari | You do need editing software for this, but there's various kinds of itーー. |
| But you can make a pretty high-quality video using free softwares, or the ones that are already installed on your PC! |
Izumi | I see. |
Muku | Hm? I think I heard loud noises from the corridor… |
Kumon | Sorry for intruding! |
Yuki | Good work. |
Misumi | Kazu~, Muku~, director-san~? Are you done filming? |
Kazunari | Huh? Sumi and Kumopi! |
Muku | Even Tenma-kun and Yuki-kun… |
Izumi | We've just finished filming. What brings you all here? |
Kumon | We found some paper waste when we were cleaning our room! |
Misumi | That's whyーー. |
| Let's hold a paper airplane contest! |
Tenma | We got dragged by those two all of sudden. |
Yuki | They were so noisy. |
Muku | Whoa, it's been a while since we last held a paper airplane contest! |
Kazunari | Sounds fun! I'm in, I'm in! Join us, director-chan! |
Izumi | Eh, me too? But… |
Misumi | Flying paper airplanes is fun~! |
Muku | I want to fly paper airplanes with director-san too! |
Izumi | Well, I'll join for a bit. I'm free, anyway. |
Kumon | Yeaaay! I'll make a paper airplane that will fly far away~! |
Tenma | Sorry, but I'll beat you and win this time. |
Yuki | Look who's talking, when you always make paper airplanes that can hardly fly. |
Tenma | Shut up! |
Misumi | Tenma, I'll teach you how to make one that can fly far far away! |
Kumon | Once we're done making paper airplanes, let's fly them in the courtyard! |
Izumi | Yeah! |
