Banri | Wow, can't believe we have the whole place to ourselves. |
Azami | Are you sure this is all meant to serve one troupe and not the entire Company? |
Zen | You're all still young. You can handle it. |
Omi | I made pizza, too. |
Izumi | There's pizza, too?! |
Sakyo | This always happens... Our leading man shouldn't have to be in the kitchen. |
Taichi | But that's just how he is! |
Omi | I made the chicken and green pepper stir-fry, too. And we've got tiramisu and apple pie for dessert. |
Azami | Nice! |
Juza | Thanks. |
Izumi | That's gotta be the biggest tiramisu and apple pie I've ever seen...! |
Sakyo | I think he's trying to make up for all the cooking he didn't do during the ban... |
Taichi | Wow, we've got all of the Autumn Troupe's favorites here! |
Banri | Our chef is superhuman in the kitchen when he's in top form! |
Izumi | It all looks so delicious... I worry for my stomach...! |
Omi | This gateau au chocolat is delicious! |
Zen | It's our signature dessert, after all. |
Juza | I want to take it home with me... |
Zen | Takeaway costs extra. |
Juza | ...I'll take ten, please. |
Banri | You're actually buying?! |
Azami | Ten of them... |
Kamekichi | I'mma eat up, too! |
Zen | I've made for you your own special meal with fruit for dessert. |
Kamekichi | You sure know what a bird likes! |
Banri | You sure you can let a bird into the restaurant? |
Zen | I'll make an exception for Kamekichi. |
Kamekichi | 'Coz we're besties! |
| |
Taichi | Whew, I'm stuffed! |
Juza | I'm gonna explode... |
Sakyo | It was a lot of food. |
Izumi | Thank you for cooking for us, Omi-kun, Zen-san. |
Zen | He did most of the work, though. He was up the entire night doing food prep. |
Omi | Sakyo-san told me he liked my food, so... I felt really motivated. |
Izumi | He did? |
Sakyo | Yeah, I suppose. |
Azami | Ew, gross. Can't believe shitty Sakyo was honest for once. |
Sakyo | What was that? |
Zen | Still the same old, huh? Even when we could all hear his stomach grumbling, he'd used to pretend that he wasn't hungry. |
| He'd even cough to try and cover up the sound of it. |
Izumi | Oh my god... That's so... kiddy. |
Azami | Lame. |
Omi | Haha, that sounds like our Sakyo-san, all right. |
Sakyo | Stop outing me like this. |
Omi | Thank you, though, everyone. I was only able to work out what cooking meant to me because you all told me what it meant to you. |
| I feel really at ease in the kitchen, and I'm more certain than ever that this is where I belong. |
| Cooking is one of my ways of showing that I really love you guys, and I hope you'll all continue to let me cook for you. |
Sakyo | Of course, chef. |
Taichi | The Mankai dorm isn't complete without Omi-kun's food! |
Banri | Yeah, it'd just turn into a curry dorm for half the week. |
Azami | Or an onigiri dorm. Or a super spicy dorm. |
Juza | I need my dessert... |
Omi | Haha, of course. Leave that to me. |
| |
Izumi | Thank you so much for having us today, Zen-san. |
Zen | It's the least I can do as a Mankai alumnus. |
Izumi | Thanks for teaching Omi-kun your stew recipe, too. |
| I think something in him changed, and he was able to really focus on the performance. |
Zen | Ah... He brought up some memories of mine, so we had a chat about that. |
| It's amazing how small our wide world can be sometimes. |
| "Those who make their own place of belonging are often the most lonely." |
Izumi | Huh? |
Zen | Nothing, just something someone told me a long time ago. I think... that also applied to Yukio. |
Izumi | ...You may be right. |
| (The place Dad created when he was feeling lonely, the Mankai Theater on Veludo Way...) |
| (I hope I can make it a place Dad can feel good coming back to.) |
| (And for that, I need to make the Newborn Mankai Company's name bigger and more established in the world of theater...) |
| |
Juza | Thanks for the gateau au chocolat. |
Zen | Well, I figured I should just let you take the leftovers for free. |
Omi | Sorry for all the trouble. |
Banri | That's dinner set for a while. |
Sakyo | We're taking everything. It should last us for at least an entire day. |
Azami | Stingy ass... |
Izumi | What have you got there, Omi-kun? |
Omi | Oh, a sunny-side up French toast I made with Zen-san. I'm bringing it to Nachi tomorrow when I visit his grave. |
| |
Omi | ...... |
| Sorry it's not the usual cheesy cod sticks, but a menu change couldn't hurt, right? I had a little help with this sunny-side up French toast. |
| "Didn't you know? I've started a delivery service!" |
| ...Thanks again, Nachi. For putting up with me... For making a place where I could belong. |
| It all started because of a manga you liked, but... |
| ...I know that deep down, you actually wanted to start the Wolves for us. |
| I know you're not here to tell me if I'm actually right, but... I'm sure I am, considering what Zen-san told me. |
| I trust the Nachi that's inside my heart. I hope you'll continue to watch over me. |
| ...... |
| |
Nachi | "Dude, you've got my bracelet on! It looks good on you!" |
Omi | "Sorry I lost mine. I know we were meant to be matching and all." |
Nachi | "Relax, man! I've got it right here with me." |
Omi | "I think I've made a French toast that can beat the one I made you last time, too." |
Nachi | "Nice, I'm excited!" |
Omi | "I was pretty good in our last play, right? But I'm gonna keep practising and getting better." |
Nachi | "You'd better! Don't you ever stop!" |
| |
Omi | ...... |
| (It still hurts to think back on our past... There's a lot that my mind tried to shut out.) |
| (But in thinking about Nachi and trying to understand him, I've also been able to remember a lot of happy moments in time that I'd almost forgotten.) |
| (There's so much of me that wouldn't be here without Nachi.) |
| (I'm glad I was able to remember them before they faded away.) |
| I know you told me to just keep going forward and never stop, but... knowing that you've got my back is really important to me. |
| (I'll be sure to capture lots of memories and moments in the film roll of my heart, just for the two of us.) |
| I'll be back with the other Wolves soon. We're gonna be so loud that even you can hear us from all the way up there. |
| I'll bring some cheesy cod sticks then, too. ...See ya soon. |
| |
Nachi | "See ya, partner." |
