HAve A greAt trip!
Episode 1

	Main Story	Next
Mizuno …And so, I would definitely like to invite everyone in Mankai Company to go overseas. Izumi Umm, that’s a very attractive offer, but… We don’t have the money to go overseas, so… Mizuno Of course, Mizuno Enterprise will be taking care of the transportation fees, lodging fees and so on. Izumi Eh?! You’ll be taking care of all the fees?! Mizuno Yes. This overseas training trip will serve to introduce promising Japanese troupes to famous overseas troupes, after all. We’ll be going to a theater located in a place known as the holy land of plays, so troupe members from all over the world will be gathered there. I’m sure that this will be a good motivation for everyone. All your troupes’ third plays are over, so for the sake of everyone’s progress from now on, what do you say? Izumi I see… (It’s true that this will allow them to study and gain experience. I do think that it’s a good opportunity, but…) Sakyo … Izumi Sakyo-san, what do you think? Sakyo …Why not give it a shot? Mizuno Really?! Sakyo Well, we have to reward them occasionally. Moreover, it’s a good opportunity for them to come in contact with plays from all over the world. Izumi Yeah, that’s true. I’m sure everyone will be happy about it! Mizuno That’s wonderful, thank you very much! Well then, let’s hurry and make the arrangements— Tsuzuru Director~? Mizuno …! Well then, I will contact you later regarding the arrangements for the plans and schedule and so on. Please excuse me…! Izumi Ah, Mizuno-san——. …Aaand he’s gone. Sakyo It’s always the same with him, isn’t it. Izumi (It seems that Mizuno-san still isn’t able to face Tsuzuru-kun…) Tsuzuru Ah, so you were here. …Uh, sorry. Were you in the middle of something…? Sakyo We just settled it. Don’t worry about it. Well then, I’ll be returning to my room. Izumi Okay, good work. Tsuzuru …Hmm? He dropped some documents… Ah, he’s gone. Izumi Ah, that’s——. Tsuzuru Up-and-coming troupe, proposal for overseas training trip… Mizuno Enterprise…? Izumi Actually, Mizuno-san was here just now. Tsuzuru …! That guy… Geez. Izumi (Tsuzuru-kun seems kind of happy.)

Notes

• If you don’t remember Mizuno, he’s Tsuzuru’s childhood friend (sort of) from Spring’s third play, The Clockwork Heartbeat.
• Mizuno speaks in keigo, which is basically formal and very polite speech.
• Sakyo speaks like… Sakyo. I didn’t really know how to translate his rough way of speaking, but you get the idea. He’s a yakuza, after all.
