Tsumugi A Winter troupe comedy, huh… Tasuku It’s worthwhile but pretty difficult. Homare Rather, should we try doing Manzai as well? It may be time to make use of our experience from the MANMAN Grand Prix. Guy I see, it is also a challenge to hold a scene with a two-man act… Tsumugi But it’s our specially-awaited anniversary event, so if possible, I want all of us to stand on stage. Tasuku If not Manzai, then would a comedic sketch work…? Hisoka …A comedy sketch with 6 people is novel. Azuma It seems it’ll be bit difficult to use up the time with a comedic sketch though. Tsumugi Hmmm… Tasuku As expected, Winter troupe draws overwhelmingly little laugher, huh… Tsumugi Then maybe it’ll be good to receive some advice from the other troupes too. Azuma Sure. Isn’t that fine? Tasuku I agree. Tsumugi Alright then, bring the ideas you’ve gathered on your own for our next meeting. Guy Understood. Hisoka …Got it. Homare Leave it to me. Tsumugi —so for that reason, I’m a little troubled. Banri Well that’s for sure, I can’t really imagine the Winter troupe doin’ comedy. Y’all are most unrelated to that within the Theatre company, right? Tsumugi That’s true… Banri Hm? Ain’t that Tenma walking in front of the shop? He’s wearin’ sunglasses though. Tsumugi Ah, it is. If it’s Tenma, it seems he’ll give good advice, right? Banri Well he’s the leader of the Summer troupe. So, more or less. Tsumugi Hold on, I’ll call out to him. Banri Tenma, sup. It’s pretty unusual for you to be walking ‘round here, eh? Tenma N-not really, I just happened to be on a walk. Tsumugi Is that so? Sorry for suddenly bringing you into the shop then. Banri You were lost anyways, weren’t you? On the contrary, it was the right choice to grab him. Tenma I wasn’t lost! …Hey, you have something you want to ask me, right? Tsumugi Actually, the Winter troupe also wants to incorporate comedy into our play for the fan meeting, but we have no idea what would be good to do, so… I wondered if I could get some advice from Tenma-kun as the leader of the Summer troupe who’s in charge of comedies. Tenma Ah I see… …The lineage of the actors in the Winter troupe are different from Summer troupe’s in the first place, so isn’t it better to focus on a surreal style? Tsumugi Surreal style, huh… Banri If it’s the Winter troupe’s actin' skills, you’ll be able to pull it off well, right? ‘Sides, I’d rather watch that. Tsumugi Yeah, somehow that feels right. Thank you, Tenma-kun. Banri Solved immediately; that’s the Summer troupe’s leader for ya. Tenma Hmph, this much is nothing. Tsumugi Fufu, how reliable. As a leader just the same, I have to do my best too. Cat A Meow~. Misumi Yeah yeah, the sun is nice and warm today, huh~. Cat B Meow—. Hisoka … Misumi Ah, Hisoka, good job at work~. Wanna play together with Mr. cat? Hisoka …Yeah, thanks. But before that, I have something I want to ask Misumi. Misumi Me? What is~ it~? Hisoka …For performing comedy, what do you think I should do? Misumi Comedy~? Umm… Maybe you should try searching for triangles? Hisoka I’ll become skilled at comedy if I do that? Misumi I’m sure of it~. Hisoka …I see. I’ll get Arisu to search for triangle marshmallows. Homare The Winter troupe is also thinking of incorporating comedy but… I don’t know what type of thing would be good for that, you see. Muku-kun is familiar with comedy, are you not? Won’t you share some advice with me? Muku In that case, how about reading shoujo manga that have comedic elements? By the way, I recommend “Tales of the Cool Girl” and “Bouncy Bouncy ✩ Walk”, and these two have also been made into live-action movies—! Homare Umu. The titles are quite fascinating. Definitely lend them to me. Tasuku —Hey, do you have a minute? Tsuzuru What’s the matter? Tasuku For the 2nd Anniversary fan meeting, Winter troupe is also thinking of performing a comedy but… Omi Heh, that’s great. It feels like a festival performance. Azami Winter troupe doing comedy… I can’t picture it. Tsuzuru The Winter troupe has never done a comedy, right? It feels like a challenge for the third year, and it seems interesting. Tasuku Yeah… That’s why, we’re troubled over how we should incorporate it. Autumn troupe performed a show like that not long ago, and Minagi’s also writing the scripts, right? Won’t you give me some advice? Azami Hmm… Watch comedy movies or something? Omi When we performed Mantou Fist, Autumn troupe also had things we watched as reference. If you’d like, I’ll show you. Tsuzuru I also asked Citron to tell me about interesting comedy shows recently, so I’ll bring the DVDs later. Tasuku …That helps. Thanks. Azuma Say, Sakyo-kun. When Autumn troupe performed their comedy, what kind of practise did you do? Sakyo We did etudes with the Summer troupe. It couldn’t be helped that it was noisy… But It became good reference for the play. Azuma Etudes, hm… How nice. I wonder if we should ask them for help too. Sakyo Is Winter troupe doin’ a comedy? Azuma Yes. But everyone’s worried over how we’ll go about incorporating it. Sakyo I see… Since Winter troupe has a lot of acting fanatics, huh? Ain’t it best to make use of that? Azuma Ahh, Autumn troupe combined theirs with action, right? Thanks, I’ll use this as reference. Guy 《Citronia, I have something to consult with you.》 Citron 《It’s rare for you to consult with me. What’s wrong?》 Guy 《For comedies, I’ve tried researching variously in my own way…》 《Generally speaking, it’s said that it is a work that is mainly focused on making people laugh, or an exchange that induces laughter among them.》 《However, I cannot think up how to incorporate this into a play at all. I would like to get the opinion of Citronia who has a profound knowledge about it.》 Citron 《…Haa. You understand nothing about comedy.》 《A comedy has somehow been forced onto you who is so strait-laced. It’ll be better to leave the comedic play to the other five people.》 《If you narrate in monotone, it could actually be interesting in terms of comedy.》 Guy 《I cannot do something like that. It’s true, I’m not suited for comedy and I’ll experience difficulties.》 《However, I cannot just slack off on my own. —Because I am also a member of the Winter troupe.》 Citron 《—I see.》 《Then, I will teach you something fun that it seems even you will be able to do.》 —I am an android… Guy …Hm? Citron With this, the venue will be bumping, right! Guy Is that an imitation of me? Citron That's right, it's an "impression"!
