Izumi Sakyo-san, regarding this line over here, won’t it balance out better if you act more held back? Sakyo Ahh, that’s true… Izumi I’ve also been thinking about adding more contrasts so that the comparison can be shown better. Sakyo It’s fine if it makes it easier for the person to carry out. Izumi …… (Everyone has been acting weirdly recently, I wonder if it affected Sakyo-san too? He doesn’t seem to be as motivated as usual.) (He doesn’t reprimand everyone like how he used to do so at first anymore…I have a bad feeling.) Well then, let’s end here today. Juza Good work today. Banri Good work— Sakyo Sorry but I have business to tend to tomorrow so I’ll only be joining you all for the night practice. Taichi Eh! Omi That means… Juza …… Sakyo What? Banri …Nothing. Sakyo …… Izumi (As I thought, everyone’s acting strangely towards Sakyo-san.) (It’s as if everyone’s treating him gingerly…) (Their performance will be affected if this goes on. First and foremost, I should go ask Sakyo-san if something had happened between them all…) Sakyo …… Izumi (Oh, there he is——) Sakyo …… Izumi (He seems to be deep in thought about something.) …… Sakyo …… Izumi …… Sakyo …I’ve never thought that the day would come where I’d be standing on the MANKAI Company stage as the lead actor. Even when I’m practicing right now, there are still times where I doubt whether it’s real. Whether this is all just a dream or a delusion. Izumi It’s the unquestionable reality. Please get yourself together. Sakyo …This isn’t like me at all, huh. It’s a chance granted to me by all the members of the Autumn Troupe after all. I definitely want to make it a success for sure. Well, standing on this theater’s stage was already something I thought that was out of my reach. To think that I’m the lead actor now… Izumi (His feelings about this hasn’t changed from the past. His responsibility and enthusiasm as the chairman too…) (If that’s so then the ones who’ve changed are…) We have to fix the atmosphere here in order to make it a success too. Sakyo That’s right… Izumi (I absolutely want to make this time’s play a success too.) (I’m pretty sure everyone feels the same way. If so then I have to do something about it…) (I can’t let everything we’ve done up till now go down the drain.) Do you have any clue what led to everyone’s change in attitude? You guys didn’t fight, right? Sakyo I don’t remember us having a fight with each other. Or rather, it wouldn’t be a fight at all if I was pitched against them all. But well, they might have some things they need to sort out between their lives, regular practices and the like. Izumi I see… (The most troubling thing is not knowing the reason behind this all…) Sakyo I suppose I had a phase like this when I was around that age too. There are also times where I don’t understand what the younger ones are thinking as well. Though that started at a much younger age for me. Izumi Sakyo-san… Sakyo Not just about age. There’s too much of a gap regarding the environment I grew up in and how I was brought up as a yakuza compared to them. Izumi (It’s unusual for him to be worrying over his age and job like this…) Sakyo Even so, I still intend to face them outright and show them how I feel about things. Though that might just be a wish of mine. If it’s them were talking about, I feel like they’ll be able to overcome it no matter how tough or hard it may be. But it might be because I’ve been trying to make them adapt to my requirements with the wrong method. I thought that if I went along with it that way, I wouldn’t mind dishing out some praise every so often. However, when I look back at past practices now, all I’ve ever been doing is saying strict and harsh things. All my feelings regarding this play are way too strong, so I guess it will only end up as a burden for them. Izumi It wouldn’t, not at all! Everyone’s doing their best to respond to you, who is more enthusiastic about this than ever. So I think that this is a great influence for them. Everyone understands how you feel and they've already accepted that. Please don’t fault it for reasons such as your age or job. No matter what happened in their lives, everyone’s a member of the MANKAI company from the very moment they become an actor and stand on the stage. Sakyo —— That’s right. I see, so that was it… Izumi Oh— Sorry for saying something so cheeky. Sakyo Has there ever been a time where you aren’t being cheeky? Izumi Of course there is! Occasionally, maybe… Sakyo Pfft. Izumi It was only around this week where everyone started acting strangely. I’m certain that it’s caused by something else asides from the play.. I’ll go hear about what everyone has to say too. Sakyo …Yeah. Please do.
