Izumi It's finally the day of the performance! Sakuya This is different from our usual plays, so I'm a little nervous. Citron Sakuya being nervous is something that always happens. Tsuzuru That's true. Sakuya Ahaha, that's right. ——. This past year, a lot of things have happened... But being able to be here with all six members of the Spring Troupe right now makes me so happy! Citron We all feel the same. Itaru That's right. Chikage ... Yeah. Masumi I want to hurry and show the Director the results of our practice. Tsuzuru And the audience, too. Sakuya Spring is the season of beginnings... Spring Troupe top batters, let's go! Spring Troupe Yeah! Izumi (The story begins when, during a journey, Lancelot is separated from Gwen——) Gawain "What's the matter, Lancelot?" Lancelot "Gwen isn't here." Gawain "Not again." King Arthur "Has this happened before?" Gareth "Yes. At that time, because of Gwen, my life was saved." Lancelot "Now that you mention it, that did happen." King Arthur "In that case, perhaps she's trying to lead you to something. At any rate, this doesn't seem like a normal situation." Lancelot "May I have permission to search for her?" King Arthur "You may. Gwen is another one of our important allies." Lancelot "You have my thanks." Gawain "On top of that, it seems like we'll be needing Gwen's power." Gareth "Huh? What do you mean?" Gawain "You didn't notice? We've been running in circles for a while now." Gawain "There's something wrong with this forest." Izumi (After wandering around the forest endlessly, the party noticed that everything was Merlin's handiwork...) King Arthur "To think that this was all Merlin's doing... Because Gwen is a hostage, we're at a loss." Lancelot "We must find a way out of this forest." King Arthur "It looks like Gareth and Gawain headed east. We should search the western forest." Lancelot "Understood!" Izumi (Lancelot and King Arthur head to the western side of the forest.) (Ahead of them, Rick and Oswald are being attacked by a monster——) Rick "Eeeek! Someone please help~~!!" Oswald "Stop panicking! It's obviously just some kind of trick! Something of this level will easily be taken care of by my magic——Ugh!" Rick "Oz-sama~~!" Izumi (He said that it was a trade secret, so he won't tell us what the trick to the costumes are. I'm really curious how he actually does it...) (This costume is something that was created out of Chikage-san and Yuki-kun's discussions. I'm sure they had a lot of meetings, and had a lot of trial-and-error.) King Arthur "That's——" Lancelot "Please stay behind me, Arthur-sama!" Lancelot "Haaa!" Izumi (Lancelot and company defeat the monster and rescue the other two...) Lancelot "Are you alright?" Rick "T-Thank you so much." Oswald "You helped us out. I give you my thanks." Lancelot "Just a little while ago, you said something about magic. Are you a wizard?" Rick "This is the Great Wizard, Oz-sama!" Oswald "Hey, don't just...!" King Arthur "In that case, this is perfect. We would like you to tell us a way to escape this lost forest." Oswald "Lost forest...?" Rick "Ah! I knew it, there's something wrong with this forest, Oz-sama! I'm sure it's the doing of some evil wizard——" Oswald "O-Obviously, I realized that from the very beginning!" Rick "Is that so? As expected of Oz-sama!" Lancelot "..." King Arthur "..." Oswald "What's with those doubtful gazes..." Lancelot "... Then, you're saying that you already know a way out of this forest?" Oswald "——Of course." King Arthur "Then exactly how do we get out of this forest?" Oswald "If you can fly, it's not a problem." Lancelot "Fly?" King Arthur "Can you do something like that?' Lancelot "I'd like to request your help immediately, then." Oswald "We need an apparatus. It's a big spherical cloth apparatus that has the ability to let people ride in it. We need to find it." Lancelot "..." King Arthur "..." Oswald "If you're going to doubt me, then do whatever you want!" Lancelot "We have no other options. I think we should try believing in him." King Arthur "That's true." Izumi (Because Oz attempts to fool them with his silver tongue, Lancelot and King Arthur begin to doubt him more and more...) Gareth "I wonder if Lancelot-sama and King Arthur are alright. We might get separated from them at this rate..." Gawain "No matter where we go, we'll be returned to the same place. There's no need to worry." Gareth "T-That's true... That being said, this is an eerie forest." Gawain "Yeah. Even though we need to find a way out of this forest, we have no clues or——" Gareth "Eeeek!" Gawain "What's wrong!?" Gareth "L-Look there! A huge monster is floating over there!" Gawain "An aerial type! A big round head... and an awfully small body... It's the first time I've seen one like this." Gareth "Y-Yes. It's almost like it's a jellyfish or something similar..." Gawain "Gareth, get ready! It's coming over here!" Gareth "O-Okay!" Gawain "Hragh!" Gareth "Grgh!" Gareth "There's gas coming out of the inside——!" Gawain "Poisonous gas! Cover your mouth!" Gawain "It's gone quiet..." Gareth "It seems like we've successfully defeated it...." Gawain "To think that even dangerous monsters like this would appear. Let's proceed with caution." Gareth "U-Understood!" Izumi (Oswald and the others don't know that the hot air balloon has been destroyed. They continue their search through the forest, but...) King Arthur "There really is an apparatus that lets us fly, right?" Oswald "..." Lancelot "However, we haven't seen anything that looks like that..." Oswald "Ah, there it is! That's it!" Rick "Oz-sama, is this that apparatus...?" Lancelot "It's quite shabby." Oswald "W-Why did this happen——" Lancelot "It looks like it's been slashed to shreds by a sword. Could it be that Merlin was one step ahead of us...?" King Arthur "That seems like a possibility. Wizard, is it impossible to escape the forest without this?" Oswald "It's all over..." Izumi (Because Oswald's personality has been arranged a bit, the elements of comedy have gotten stronger.) (The comical Oswald and the manly Gawain——Chikage-san is as impressive as ever, being able to act out these two unique personalities.) King Arthur "Hmm, this is a problem..." Lancelot "It seems like we have no choice but to repair it." Rick "That's right! Oz-sama! Let's do our best to repair it!" Izumi (Oswald was shocked to find the intact but deflated hot air ballon, but then——) Rick "It took off...! It's flying! Oz-sama!" King Arthur "He was actually a wizard..." Lancelot "Honestly, I thought it was all a bluff..." King Arthur "Mm." Oswald "Observe my true power!" Izumi (Oswald, Lancelot, and the others escape the forest on the repaired hot air ballon and make it all the way to where Merlin is.) Merlin "... I could never have imagined that you lot would escape by the sky." Lancelot "Merlin! Return Gwen to us!" Merlin "That's a proposition that I can't agree to." Oswald "Gwen?" King Arthur "She's a fairy that Lancelot has been friends with since childhood. Normal humans cannot see her, however." Merlin "Rather than wandering about the lost forest, I suppose you'd rather be taken out instantly?" Lancelot "Magic won't work on us. We have someone here who can use magic, too." Oswald "!?" Rick "Oz-sama! Please!" Oswald "Wh-What are you——Hey, don't push me!" Merlin "Heh, so you're the one who's behind that magic. Even I have problems utilizing aerial magic. It seems that you're quite powerful." Oswald "... Naturally." Lancelot "——I'll create an opening for you. I'm counting on you, Oz." Oswald "Huh!?" Lancelot "Haaaa!" Oswald "H-Hey——!" Izumi (In order to face off against Merlin, Lancelot leaps down from the hot air balloon——) Merlin "Oh dear, do you really think you can win against me with just a sword and no Gwen?" Lancelot "Ugh——" King Arthur "Oz, now!" Rick "Oz-sama, we're counting on you!" Oswald "——" King Arthur "What are you doing?" Rick "I believe that he's chanting an incantation!" King Arthur "I see...?" Merlin "It's over." King Arthur "Please hurry, wizard! Lancelot is in danger!" Lancelot "I guess this is it for me——gh. Forgive me, Gawain——" Izumi (The audience is watching over Lancelot's dire situation with bated breath.) Oswald "——Stop! That's enough!" Merlin "?" Oswald "While you were distracted, I took possession of Gwen!" Merlin "What?" Lancelot "Is this true!?" King Arthur "When did he——" Rick "I didn't notice at all! As expected of you, Oz-sama!" Oswald "If you abducted her, then that means this fairy is necessary to you, right? If you want her returned safely, be quiet!" Lancelot "Wha-, don't tell me you intend on harming Gwen!?" Oswald "You guys be quiet, too!" Lancelot "Ugh——How foul of you." Merlin "I don't seem to sense her presence, though." Oswald "... I thought you couldn't see her?" Merlin "If it's just her presence, then I can sense that." Oswald "I've hidden her with a special kind of magic! Even now her life force is being drained!" Merlin "...gh." Oswald "Now, Lancelot!" Lancelot "——Haaaa!" Merlin "Ugh——So it was all a bluff——!" King Arthur "Wait, Merlin!" Izumi (They save Gwen, and then Oswald and Rick leave on the hot air balloon... Lancelot and the others also meet up with Gawain and Gareth.) Gareth "... So something like that happened as well! I'm truly sorry for not being able to be of any help." King Arthur "No, in the end, we've been able to escape from the forest. It is fine." Gawain "I'm glad that His Majesty hasn't been injured. It's thanks to you, Lancelot. Are your wounds alright?" Lancelot "I'm fine. Thanks to Gwen, they've been healed." Gawain "That's a relief. ... That being said, you've had quite the troublesome experience." Lancelot "I'm also curious about the new species of monster that you all encountered." Gawain "Yeah, that was also quite formidable." Lancelot "Merlin also escaped when he was just almost within our grasp. I'm sure he hasn't given up yet. We must be wary as we continue on." King Arthur "The new species of monster may have been created by Merlin's magic... When we return to the castle, Gawain and Lancelot, you two will go on a journey to investigate monsters." Gareth "I-I will guard His Majesty...!" King Arthur "I'm counting on all of you." Gawain "Yes, Your Majesty!" Lancelot "Please leave it to us, Your Majesty!" Izumi (After all of them meet up, Lancelot and the others head back to the castle——) (Thank goodness! Including Chikage-san's quick costume changes, everything was a huge success! Next they'll change outfits for the revue part...!) Sakuya Everyone! Next is our revue part! If you're able to enjoy our performance, that would make us very happy! Audience Member A Eee! Audience Member B We aren't able to see them dancing and singing normally, so this is all so new! Izumi (Thanks to Citron-kun and Masumi-kun's extra hard training lessons, Sakuya-kun and Itaru-san's dancing is perfect, too!) (When the choreography brings all six of them together, it really is beautiful.) Audience Member C Everyone's so cool~! Izumi (Here, they'll come down from the stage and walk around the audience's seats——) Audience Member A No way!? They're going to come this close to us? Audience Member B I high-fived Tsuzuru-kun! Audience Member C Chikage-san's sidelong glance is amazing...! Izumi (Thank goodness, the audience members are really happy, too!) Audience Member A Sakuya-kun's smile is so great~! Audience Member B Masumi-kun is so cool! Audience Member C Itaru-san smelled really good...! Audience Member D Being able to see Citron-san so up-close makes me so happy! Izumi (Everyone is having so much fun and sparkling so much that they could even outshine an idol.) Sakuya Thank you so much! From now as well, please——. Spring Troupe Continue to support the Spring Troupe!
