Act 9
Episode 4: New Top Actor

Previous	Main Story	Next
Shifuto Me…? The top actor? Haruto Eh--. Reni For the first time in our troupe's history, a junior trainee is promoted to both the regular and top actor positions at the same time. Consider this an impressive feat. I've been favoring you ever since your trainee days. Your growth is truly spectacular. Moreover, now that you're in high school, I think this is a good opportunity for you. So? Will you take this chance? Shifuto Man… I dunno. Haruto Hey, watch your mouth--! Reni What do you mean? Shifuto Reni-san, you always tell us to aim for an absolute, flawless beauty, right? I think I'm still nowhere near becoming your ideal top actor. Reni … Haruto Hmph, glad you understand that very well. Reni ...In your opinion, what is the most beautiful being in the world? Shifuto Eh? Umm… I dunno. Reni It's the "devil.” ...A devil who unconsciously influences others. Putting your awareness aside, there's a flower in your acting. It's a flower that can't be ignored by anyone--a flower that greatly impresses those around it. Your outstanding talent makes you worthy of becoming the center of GOD-za. My judgment is never wrong. Shifuto Err, thank you. Reni For your first performance, we're going to have a showdown act with MANKAI Company. Shifuto Showdown act? Haruto With MANKAI Company… Reni Haruto, you're going to go on the stage with him. Thus, as the former top actor, teach him the mindset and behavior a top actor should have. Haruto U-Understood! Reni Do you have any questions? Shifuto Hmm, let's see… Reni Feel free to ask anything. Shifuto If that's so, what's inside that safe? Reni Hah? Haruto Y-You--! Shifuto It has this strange presence you can't ignore. I've been curious about it ever since I entered this room. Do you keep money in there? Reni ...It's not something you need to know. It's just some boring stuff you can throw away anytime. Haruto --. Shifuto Heh… Reni Through this showdown act, we're going to show that MANKAI Company the difference between our strength and status as a troupe. We're going to get our perfect revenge. We're going to produce a fabulous play that will make them overwhelmed. Until the script is ready, I want the two of you to work harder in your daily practice. Shifuto 'Kaay. Haruto Understood! Reni That's all. Haruto We'll be taking our leave, then! Shifuto See you! Reni Haruto, contact our scriptwriter and prepare the letter of challenge. Haruto --What are we going to do if they don't accept our challenge? Reni In that case, I'm going to declare a default win against those cowards who turn their tails and run away. Haruto Understood! Please excuse me! Shifuto Man, I was so nervous I'm starving now. Haruto --Will ya cut it out already!? Shifuto … Haruto What the hell are ya doin' in front of Reni-san!? Doan' git carried away! Are ya makin' fun o’ me!? Shifuto Hahaha, you're so funny, Haruto-san. What dialect is that? Haruto --. Shifuto I really have no clue about all this top thing so I'll be counting on you, Haruto-san. Alright, let's shake hands. Haruto Hey, don't shake my hand as you please--! Shifuto That's right! Wanna go grab some croquette udon with me? Haruto No! Shifuto Eeeeh--.... … ...MANKAI Company, huh… It’s not like you’re doing something wrong. But still, sorry. Azami Eh? Shifuto I’m not qualified to be your friend. Azami --. Shifuto … (Judging by his look… He must have been shocked.) Haruto Listen up, being a top actor means you have to act with grace anytime and anywhere! This doesn't only apply when you're onstage, but also offstage! Don't you ever make that silly face again! Shifuto … Haruto Hey, are you listening!? Shifuto Oh, yeah yeah. Haruto Just answer me once! Shifuto Yeah, yeah. I said I got it. Haruto You really don't listen to what people say, do you!? Shifuto (For now, I've gotta do my best as the top actor to repay what Reni-san has done for me.) Sakuya Is Omi-san going to be late today? Izumi Yeah, but yesterday he already prepared roast beef for us. Sakyo I see. That means we avoided having curry today. Izumi Shall I put some curry sauce, then? Sakyo No need. Sakuya I'm gonna enjoy it as it is! Tsumugi Let's eat. Izumi ...Too bad, you just missed out the chance to discover new things. Manager Di-Di-Di-Director! This is bad!! Izumi ? Manager We, we, we, we've got this in the post!! Izumi What a beautiful envelope. The sender is… GOD-za!? Sakyo I have nothing but bad feelings about this. Tsumugi What are they plotting this time? Sakyo I'll open it. Izumi What, what is it? Sakyo ...It's a letter of challenge. Izumi Letter of challenge!? Sakuya Are they challenging us to another showdown act!? Sakyo Yeah, and they have chosen the starring actor for our play. Tsumugi Who is it? Sakyo It's you--Tsumugi Tsukioka.

Act 9
Episode 4: Appointed New Top

Previous	Main Story	Next
Shifuto Me? ….As the new top? Haruto Ehーー Reni Being promoted from a trainee to an actor and immediately appointed as a new top, this is the first time someone has achieved such a feat since our troupe’s establishment. I’ve looked after you since your trainee period, but since then your improvement has been remarkable. It’s a good offer to take for you who just enrolled to highschool. How about it? You’re capable of doing it right? Shifuto Wellー......I wonder. Haruto You, that's not how you should speak to himーー! Reni What do you mean by that? Shifuto In lessons, Reni-san always says to aim for perfect, supreme beauty, right? I think I’m prolly far from what Reni-san’s ideal is. Reni …. Haruto Hmph. So you understand that well. Reni ….What in this world do you think is exceedingly beautiful? Shifuto Eh? Uhh…. I wonder. Reni Something that unknowingly influences others. A "Demon". Putting aside your awareness, there’s a flower in your theater. One that no one can ignore, a flower that overpowers it’s surroundings. You're a talent worthy of GOD-za’s center. My judgement is never incorrect. Shifuto Err, thank you. Reni Your first stage will be a showdown act with MANKAI Company. Shifuto a showdown act? Haruto with MANKAI Company… Reni In that stage, I’ll have Haruto stand together with you. As the previous top, he can teach you the ropes on how to act and behave as a top. Haruto U-Understood! Reni Lastly, do you have any questions? Shift Errr, right.... Reni You can ask me whatever you’d like. Shifuto Then, what's in that safe over there? Reni Huh? Haruto H-hey youーー！ Shifuto It’s kinda out of place, so I’ve been curious since I entered the room. Is it money? Reni ….It’s not something you need to know. It’s something worthless that I could throw out anytime. Haruto ーー. Shifuto Hmmー... Reni In our next showdown with MANKAI Company, we will show them the difference of our rank and ability as a troupe. We’ll completely humiliate them. We’ll build and show them GOD-za’s fabulous, overpowering stage. Until the script finishes, strive to put in more efforts than usual in practice with every passing day. Shifuto Kaaaay. Haruto Yes! Reni That will be all. Haruto Please excuse us! Shifuto scuse’ us! Reni Haruto, contact the scriptwriter. That, and prepare the challenge letter. Haruto ーーIf those guys don’t accept our challenge, what should we do then…? Reni In that case, to the cowards who turned their tail and ran away from us, I will declare it as a grand victory. Haruto Yes! Please excuse me. Shifuto Aaghー, I was so nervous I got hungry. Haruto ーWill ya quit that already!? Shifuto …. Haruto What in the hell do ya think yer doin’ in front of Reni-san!? It ain’t the time to act so loose! Are ya tauntin’ me! Shifuto Ahaha, Haruto-san you’re funnyー What dialect is that? Haruto ーー. Shifuto I don’t really get this stuff about the top or whatever, so I’m in your care, kay? Kay, handshake. Haruto Don’t just do as you pleaseーー！ Shifuto Ah, wanna come with me and eat some croquette udon? Haruto I ain’t goin’! Shifuto Ehhhー... … Though… MANKAI Company, huh. (flashback) It’s not that it’s your fault, but, sorry. Azami Eh? Shifuto I’m not worthy to stay buddies with you. Azami ーー. Shifuto …. (The face Azami made at that time… I bet he’s shocked.) Haruto Listen, as a top, you need to be at your best behaviour and stay beautiful at all times! even outside of theater, in your private matters too! Don’t put that foolish face! Shifuto …. Haruto Are you listening!? Shifuto Ah, yeah yeah. Haruto Just reply with ‘yes’ once! Shifuto Yeah yeah, I said I got it didn’t I? Haruto You, you really don’t listen to people when they talk do you!? Shifuto (For the time being, I have to work hard as a top to pay Reni-san back for his kindness…) Sakuya Is Omi-san going to be home late today? Izumi Yeah, but yesterday he already cooked us some roast beef beforehand. Sakyo I see, so that’s curry prevention. Izumi If you’re going to say that, how about I put curry sauce on it? Sakyo I don’t need it. Sakuya Umm, I’ll have it like this as is! Tsumugi Thank you for the food. Izumi ….It could have opened new discoveries. Manager D-D-D-Director! This is terrible!! Izumi ? Manager T-t-t-t-this was in our postbox!! Izumi what a clean envelope. The sender is…. GOD-za!? Sakyo I have nothing but bad feelings about this. Tsumugi I wonder what it is this time. Sakyo I’ll open it. Izumi …...Wh-what was it after all? Sakyo It’s a challenge letter. Izumi A challenge letter!? Sakuya Is it another showdown act!? Sakyo Furthermore, this time the lead is nominated. Tsumugi Who would that be? Sakyo Tsukioka TsumugiーーIt’s you.
