Previous	Event Story
Izumi And so, the Company is going to hold second anniversary performances! Muku Woah! Sounds fun! Citron Very good! Looking forward to the fist! Itaru It's a feast. Sakyo For the content, the plan is for each Troupe to perform a short original story and a revue similarly to the first generation. Each Troupe will have to plan and compose them from scratch. Tsumugi Is Tsuzuru-kun going to write the scripts of all the original stories? Tsuzuru That's the plan, but it’s going to be tough, so I have to keep it to just one scene where the plot advances in the form of conversations. Banri Ah, I see… with that we don't really need stage settings, it's a nice idea. Tasuku A conversation-only play huh. Sounds interesting. It requires different skills from normal acting. Muku Do we need a shared theme for the original stories? Izumi Hmm, not really, but it's a fanservice based performance, so in general I think cheerful content would be good. Tenma Which means a comedy play. Yuki Isn't it favorable for us. Banri Well, Autumn Troupe also has experience with comedy y'know. Taichi We won't lose! Omi There there, it's not a competition… Sakyo There might be something for the Troupe who gets the best reviews. Azami Heh, then we have to win. Juza Gotta give it everything we have. Kazunari Same for us Summer Troupe! Misumi We will get triangle as a prize~! Izumi Sakyo-san, do you have something in mind? Sakyo I only said there "might" be something. If we tell them that they'll be more motivated. Izumi T-That’s a fraud… Sakyo It's just carrot and stick. Tasuku Comedy huh… what are we going to do? Tsumugi By the way what did the first generation do? Manager Let's see… there was an idols themed performance, and also a spinoff of past performance… They were all themes that weren't normally performed, so the fans were extremely happy! I was also looking forward to the anniversary performances… Izumi (Whenever the manager talks about the first generation, he looks so happy. He really liked them huh…) Sakyo Matsukawa, we're going to use the first generation performances as reference, so check if there are any videos or photos left. Manager Yes! Leave it to me! Izumi Manager, you're really motivated. Manager Yes, of course! Having an anniversary performance, it feels like we're one step closer to the past MANKAI Company, it makes me happy… Izumi (If he has such an emotional attachment to it, we should've done it last year…) (But, in the first year we somehow managed to pay the debt, we didn't have time for that when we tried to get the Company back on its feet…) (We have new members, and we got stronger not only individually but as a Company too, so maybe we can do it precisely because it's now) (I'm sure that doing it this year is a good thing) Sakuya What will the Spring Troupe do? Itaru A spinoff of past performances really feels like fanservice, I think we can go with that. Citron Itaru, want to do KniRoun again? Itaru Can't deny that. Chikage A crossover of Oz and KniRoun might be nice. Sakuya Both have magic as a common point, it's a good idea! Chikage Well, the magic in one of them is a fraud though. Masumi If we say that it's because of Marlin's magic, we can do anything. Tsuzuru But it will be as a mix with the original story, I wonder if it's alright. Itaru First, we have to get permission from End Links and Hoshii-san. Of course they will supervise the script. Tsuzuru Right. Tenma A spinoff of past performances huh… Yuki Aren't baseball and ninjas a really bad match? They have nothing in common. Kazunari Ninja baseball is awesome! Sounds neat! Misumi We will throw shurikens instead of balls! Shushushu! Tenma That's way too absurd! Yuki And you can't hit that with a bat. Muku But it's an anniversary performance, so maybe it's going to be more fun if it's absurd. Kumon Yup! Agreed! Also, I want something cool for the revue! Kazunari How 'bout we all just break dance? Kumon Break dance, that's so cool! Muku I've never done it before, but it sounds fun! Misumi I wanna do it! Tenma Right, you feel a gap between it and our performance, it's nice. Yuki Are you all for real? Omi What about us Autumn Troupe. Banri A spinoff of past performances sounds good, but I'm not sure about combining zombies and kung fu… Azami …that's a bad combination. Juza It's making me sick. Taichi Hmm, since it's going to be conversations only, it means it's going to have only one scene. When I think about it, it becomes difficult. Sakyo If we use flashbacks, we can expand it to more scenes. Banri Then, expanding it little by little with reminiscent talk like our Portraits is great right? Azami A situation where you can have a reminiscent talk… Taichi A class reunion! Juza So the base scene is the class reunion, and we'll expand it with conversations about the past. Sounds nice. Sakyo What are we going to do about the comedy? Azami Ah… Taichi I forgot about it…! Omi We have to think about the revue too. Juza While we're at it, I wanna try something we don't usually do. Sakyo Things we don’t do… Taichi How about musical instruments? Banri And start practicing now? I can do anything, but it's impossible for Hyodo right. We’re never gonna make it in time. Juza That's not true. If it's a triangle I can do it. Banri No band is gonna hire you! Azami But well, a band is interesting right. Omi I'm fine as long as we don’t have to sing. Sakyo It fits the image of the Autumn Troupe, and it's also refreshing and has fanservice. If it's just one song we can manage. Homare What are your thoughts about Winter Troupe holding a recitation meeting for my poems! Tasuku They said we have to make an original story and a revue. Homare We shall simply compose music to my poems and dance to it! Azuma Fufu, it does have a feeling of a revue. Hisoka …No way. Guy Well, I'll not try to stop you if you say you're doing it… Tasuku Please do stop him. Tsumugi Homare-san's suggestion is interesting, but since it's a chance, I want to try something that we can use for different performances too. Guy Which means? Tsumugi Hmm… like traditional dance, or tap dance… Tasuku Indeed, dance moves can be useful for acting too. Azuma Thinking of an original story is hard too. Winter Troupe didn't have a genuine comedy play until now… Tsumugi But if we emphasize the comedy the audience will feel a gap, and it’s going to be educational for us. Tasuku Since we have the chance, we should choose a story we can never do in our regular performances. Homare Speaking of comedy, manzai comes to mind. We shall ask Citron-kun for his advice. Hisoka …I have a bad feeling about all of Alice's suggestions. Izumi (Seems like all Troupes have thought about a variety of ideas) Then, all that's left is for each Troupe to decide on your plan, so you're free for today--. Manager E-Excuse me--! Izumi ? Manager Will you let me be the manager of the anniversary performance…? Izumi You want to, manager? Sakyo Can you do it Matsukawa? Manager I-I can! I, Matsukawa Isuke, will do it even if it costs me my life! Banri That's going too far. Tenma It actually made me worried instead. Izumi (Honestly I'm really worried, but he looks extremely motivated…) --then manager, we're counting on you to do it! Manager Thank you very much! I'll do my best!
