Trump the phantom thief
Episode 3

Previous	Event Story	Next
Muku (Let’s see. What kind of story we’ll perform this time…) …Wow, a phantom thieves story! Commiting crimes aboard luxury liners sounds exciting. (King, the leader of the phantom thieves group Trump… He’s so smart and cool!) (I wish I could get a role like King, but it’s probably out of the question…) Banri Hey, Muku, you’ve got the script already? Muku I’m reading it now. Banri What do you think? Muku I think it’s a really great idea to have phantom thieves as the theme of our cruise play, and I’m taken in by King! He’s just so cool. I’m sure you can be a gorgeous King if you take on the role, Banri-kun, just like a hero in a shoujo manga! Banri …I don’t mind if you play that character, though. Muku Come again!? N-No way… Banri Well, if you don’t want to, I’ll take on the role anytime. See ya later, then. Muku … (Me playing King…? I’ve never given it a thought, but if I do get casted as him…) Tsuzuru As you can see from the script, the theme for our play this time around is phantom thieves. I decided to go with this theme thinking it’ll help us make the most of our stage. Also, I believe we can pull off any action scenes that’s so Summer-Autumn Troupe through this theme. While I usually write the scripts while thinking what characters you guys will take, this time around, I did not. Juza Here I thought Yuki’d play Q since there’s a scene of him wearing female clothing. Yuki It doesn’t have to be me. Kazunari Wanna do it, Settzer? Banri I guess we can take it as a challenge or something? Juza I’ll do it, then. Banri Not you. Izumi For now, let’s decide who will take on the lead role, King. Banri Here, here. Izumi You want to do it? Banri Nope. But I think Muku can pull off that character. Muku What!? Izumi Why? Banri King is an unbeatable phantom thief, right? If we make the most of Muku’s gap and portrayal, I figured we’ll have an interesting King. ‘Sides, that character is perfect for our biggest heroes stan Muku. Izumi You have a point. King does give off this flawless hero vibe. Yuki Totally a character Muku will like. Juza One will do great in their role preparation if they have strong attachment to their character. The stronger, the better. Kazunari Someone with a gap between their gentle appearance and intelligence does look like a phantom thief, me thinks! Izumi What’s your call, Muku-kun? Muku U-Umm… Banri You can do it, right? Muku …I’d like to give it a try! Yuki No objection here. Juza I’m sure you can do it, Muku. Kazunari I wanna see Mukkun’s King! Sakyo Yea. Sounds interesting to me. Izumi It’s settled, then. Moving on, who will play King’s rival, Jack… Juza Can you give that role to me? Mixed play is the only chance I have to share the stage with Muku. So if Muku is going to take on the lead role, I wanna support him as the co-lead. Sakyo Come to think of it, we've never had the cousins take on the lead and co-lead combi, right? Muku I’ve done it with Kyuchan before, but never with Juchan. Kazunari Fans may rejoice if they know! Banri We can even go trending at this rate. Izumi Yep. And I think Juza-kun will fit Jack. Sakyo Then, the remaining ones are… Izumi To sum things up… Muku-kun is King, Juza-kun is Jack. Q and Ace, King’s team members, will be played by Yuki-kun and Kazunari-kun respectively. Sakyo-san is Club, Jack and King’s teacher, while Banri-kun will play the jack of all trades Fox. Juza In the end Yuki is playing Q. Sakyo We decided to have the other Summer Troupe guys play the team members. Kazunari No one can beat Yuki in wearing female clothing on stage~. Yuki Oh, really? In that case, I doubt I can be better than you in playing that smooth-talking crook, Ace. Kazunari Wow! Yuki just praised me. Juza You think “crook” is a compliment…? Banri Having someone older play Club is necessary. So it’s only reasonable to have Sakyo-san do it. Izumi And you have what it takes to be the jack of all trades, Fox. Sakyo Remember that our audience this time will not only be our fans, but also the passengers aboard the cruise. Give your very best to attract 'em all. Muku Roger that! Juza “You really came…” Muku “Hey.” Juza I think making yourself appear more mysterious is better for this scene. Muku Ah! I agree. Let’s do it again! Izumi (Muku-kun looks so enthusiastic playing King, and I can totally count on Juza-kun to support him.) (There’s a great vibe in the rehearsal room thanks to those two. Hope this continues until the first day.)
