Previous	Main Story	Next
Izumi What was written in GOD-za’s challenge letter is that they wish to do a showdown act, the wager being the honor of the theater. This time they do not demand troupe disbandment as a losing condition, we will simply receive their box office revenue of two performances if we win. In addition to that, the lead has been nominated as Tsumugi-san, and Tasuku-san is also nominated to appear. Chikage So they truly want to execute a revenge towards the winter troupe. Tsuzuru Glad they’re not asking for troupe disbandment as the losing conditions. Itaru Getting the revenue of two performances sounds delicious. Banri Still, this is an invitation from that GOD-za. Omi You can’t deny that there might be a catch to it. Yuki Might be a trap. Izumi In the challenge letter, “The ideal beauty that I pursue, I will prove it’s worth to you.” is written. Would that not mean that they want to do this match fair and square? Banri I wonder. Ain’t that just your opinion? Juza I can’t so easily trust someone like that. Guy ….May I say something. Izumi Guy-san? Guy I have heard that in the past, Kamikizaka Reni has tried to do unjust actions towards MANKAI Company. But even so, I felt an indubitable amount of honesty in theater from Kamikizaka. Taichi Did you meet Reni-san? Guy A bit, during the “Die by the Sword” play. Izumi (Now that it’s mentioned, during the time that we were doing street acts, he did give us advice….) (That time, I wondered if Kamikizaka-san used to be an actor himself…) Guy In Kamikizaka’s words of advice, I felt his respect for the audience and his pure passion for theater. Thanks to his words, I found a hint and was able to stand on stage proudly despite my lack in skill. Would it not be that for GOD-za to progress forward as a theater, they want to take revenge on an opponent they lost against once? Izumi I see… Chikage But, this time if MANKAI Company loses, we’d hurt our own honour. Sakuya When I think of GOD-za’s feelings, I feel like we could take up their challenge… Citron Oh, this is difficult. Showdown acts in itself are like a festival and really fun though! Tsuzuru Well aren’t you a positive thinker! Though, it's true that this would catch people’s attention like one… Kumon So it’s like a festivalー!? I might be a little interested! Yuki But if this is a match, then isn’t the risk higher on our side? Itaru Agreed. It feels like it’s safer to avoid it. Masumi If it's gonna be a hassle, it's better not to. I’m worried about Director. Tenma Showdown acts are different from usual, so I personally think there’s much to learn here. Tasuku That I can agree with. The audience would be different from usual, the tense atmosphere would be different too. Homare Objectively, GOD-za and MANKAI Company are theaters with different charms. Simply put, it does interest me. Yuki True, If this had nothing to with showdowns. If we have absolute confidence that we can win, that would be better. Muku With GOD-za as the opponent, that sounds difficult. After all, last year they were nominated for the Fleur Award… Kazunari Though we did win once before didn’t we? I think we have enough hopes. Misumi It would’ve been nice if we could all just get along and do theater〜 Omi In that case it wouldn’t be called a showdown act. Since it's a match, we can’t avoid the risks, huh. Hisoka I’m kind of reluctant… Azuma In positive words, there’s just some opponents that you don’t want to touch. Banri Well, we could also thoroughly crush them once more, right? Juza That’s true. We should make it so that they’ll learn to never mess with us ever again. Taichi Reni-san is someone who would do whatever it takes. If we’re doing this, we need to take some countermeasures…. Hisoka Ah… Homare What’s wrong? Hisoka I’m out of marshmallows… Banri Ooi! Homare Geez, that’s what it’s about? If so, we have a stock right here! Yuki So you have some. Izumi Sakyo-san, what do you think? Sakyo There's no merit in taking up their challenge. Tsuzuru Hmmー That’s true now that you mention it… Izumi In terms of merit, that's true… I think what’s important is thinking of what the nominated lead Tsumugi-san can get from this. Tsumugi … Guy It is true that the responsibility of this match is going to be heaviest on the Tsukioka, the nominated lead. Tsumugi Fufu, it’s the same as winter troupe’s first performance isn’t it? Tasuku This isn’t something to laugh at… Tsumugi It just felt a little nostalgic. Izumi I said it back then, but I want to value how Tsumugi-san feels about it this time as well. Tsumugi Thank you. Izumi The deadline to reply is in a week, so everyone please think about it carefully, especially Tsumugi-san. Tsumugi Yes. Tsuzuru Yeah.

Izumi Umm, so I’d like to begin our general meeting. First off, I’m going to explain our current situation. In the letter of challenge we received from GOD-za, they stated that they’d like to have a showdown act with our honor as theater troupes on the line. However, this time around, we’re not required to disband our troupe if we lose. The winner will simply be receiving the profits from both shows. Then, they have chosen Tsumugi-san to be the leading actor of our play. They want Tasuku-san to be included among the cast too. Chikage They’re basically saying they want to seek revenge against the Winter Troupe. Tsuzuru It’s a relief they didn’t state any concerning conditions like disbandment, though. Itaru Receiving profits from both shows also sounds appealing. Banri But it’s that GOD-za we’re talking about here. Omi There’s no denying they may be planning something behind the scenes. Yuki It may be a trap. Izumi They said in the letter, “I shall prove it to you the value of the ideal beauty I’ve been pursuing.” I feel like they purely want to take us down fair and square. Banri I ain’t sure ‘bout that. Aren’t they just putting on a facade? Juza I can’t trust anything that guy said. Guy ...May I have a moment please? Izumi Guy-san? Guy I know Reni Kamikizaka did something heinous to MANKAI Company in the past. Despite that, to me, Kamikizaka seems like someone who has belief in solid performances. Taichi Have you met him before? Guy We chatted for a bit during the "Die by the Sword" play. Izumi (That reminds me, Guy-san received some advice from Kamikizaka-san when we were performing a Street Act…) (I was wondering whether Kamikizaka-san used to be an actor that time…) Guy He gave me advice, saying that I should respect the audience and the like. From his words alone, I got the feeling he's someone who has genuine passion towards theater. Thanks to his advice, I knew what I had to do at that time. Even if I'm terrible, I could still go on the stage with confidence. Perhaps, he purely wants to seek revenge against an opponent he once lost to in order for GOD-za to move forward. Izumi I see... Chikage But our reputation will be hurt if we lose this time. Sakuya But if we consider their feelings, I feel like I want to accept the challenge... Citron This is hard! Putting everything aside, the showdown act itself is like a festival! It's so fun! Tsuzuru Must be nice to be that positive, huh! But well, we'll indeed gain more attention if we accept the challenge. Kumon I didn't know it's like a festival! Now I'm interested! Yuki But this is a match, you know? The risk is higher on our side. Itaru I second that. I feel like avoiding them will be a safer choice. Masumi It's better to turn them down right from the start if things will get complicated later on. I'm worried about you, director. Tenma But a showdown act is different from the usual plays we perform. I think we can learn something from there. Tasuku I think so too. Both the audience and the tension are different from our usual shows. Homare From an objective standpoint, GOD-za is a theater troupe that has a different charm than us. I'm simply interested in them. Yuki Not when we're gonna have a showdown with them. It's a different story if you're confident we can win against them, though. Muku It's hard to make a decision when our opponent is GOD-za. They were nominated for the Fleur Award last year... Kazunari But we've won against them once, y'know? I think we still have plenty of hope~. Misumi It'd be nice if we can get along and perform together~. Omi But that won't be a showdown act. Anyway, there will always be risks given that it's a match. It's inevitable. Hisoka I don't feel like accepting the challenge. Azuma They're people we never want to be involved with. Banri But well, doesn't this mean we have another chance to beat the shit out of them? Juza Exactly. We've gotta beat them so bad they won't lay their hands on us again. Taichi Reni-san is someone who stops at nothing. If we accept the challenge, we need to come up with a proper strategy... Hisoka Ah... Homare What's the matter? Hisoka I ran out of marshmallows. Banri Hey! Homare Goodness, so that's what you mean. I have a stock here! Yuki Wow, he really has it. Izumi What do you think, Sakyo-san? Sakyo There's nothing we can get from accepting this challenge. Tsuzuru Hmm... if you put it that way, you have a point... Izumi I do agree, but... I think what's important here is whether Tsumugi-san, who has been chosen as the leading actor, can gain something out of this. Tsumugi ... Guy You're right. Tsukioka has the most responsibility in this match. Tsumugi Fufu, it's the same as Winter Troupe's debut play. Tasuku This isn't the time to be laughing. Tsumugi I'm just feeling a little bit nostalgic. Izumi I already said this back then, but Tsumugi-san, your feelings come first here. Tsumugi Thank you. Izumi We still have a week before the deadline. Let's think this over thoroughly until then, and this includes you too, Tsumugi-san. Tsumugi Yes. Tsuzuru 'Kay.
