Izumi | You all look great! |
Misumi | So cool~! |
Yuki | …But hey, I don’t need to join you all on the stage. Susukida isn’t a part of the dance club. I don’t dance. |
Kazunari | But this is such a rare chance! I wanna dance with you all on stage! |
Muku | Besides, the dance costume looks great on you, Yuki-kun. |
Kumon | We’re all matching. |
Yuki | But making this costume just for this performance is not worth the cost. |
Tenma | Says the one who looks pleased. |
Yuki | What did you say? |
|
MC | “Moving on, let’s welcome Mankai Company’s Summer Troupe Dance Club!” |
Misumi | 1, 2, 3, 4–. |
Kumon | –. |
Spectator A | Wow, so cool! |
Spectator B | They’re in sync! |
Spectator A | But hey, they’re from a theater troupe, right? Are they actors? Dancers? |
Spectator C | No idea, but they’re killing it! |
Misumi | –. |
Spectator B | OMG! He’s doing acrobats! That’s so cool! |
Yuki | Summer Troupe’s seventh play “+3Ghosts!” is coming soon. Please come and watch~. |
| *applause* |
Izumi | (Despite the short practice time, it still turns out good. Even the audience is feeling the performance. It’s a big success!) |
Misumi | ... |
Kumon | ... |
Izumi | (I wished our lead and co-lead actors could dance a little bit more happily, though…) |
|
Izumi | (Now, let’s move on to our other goal–.) |
Madoka | ... |
Izumi | Ah, there he is! Madoka-kun! |
Madoka | ...Hello. |
|
Misumi | –Huh? Madoka? |
Kazunari | We invited him here so that we could enjoy the summer fest together, you see~. |
Yuki | Besides, we don’t really have a chance to talk. This is such perfect timing. |
Misumi | Umm… |
Madoka | …Good job on your dance performance. |
Misumi | Y-Yeah. |
Izumi | (For some reason, they seem distant.) |
| (But both of them were having so much fun when Madoka-kun came to the dorm after the Showdown Act. I wonder if they really feel awkward around each other.) |
Misumi | –I’m gonna go buy some onigiris! |
Muku | Huh? But the fireworks are about to start! |
Tenma | Are they even selling onigiri at summer festivals? |
Yuki | Of course not. |
Kazunari | …I’m gonna follow him! Just wait on the bleachers, guys! |
Madoka | Umm… |
Izumi | I don’t think he hates you, Madoka-kun. Kazunari-kun is following him so I’m sure he’ll be alright. |
Madoka | ... |
|
Misumi | I’m really such a cowardly and uncool big brother… |
Kazunari | Sumi! I finally caught up…! |
Misumi | Kazu... |
Kazunari | You sure are fast, Sumi. |
| Man, I’m thirsty now. Wanna buy some soda? |
|
Kazunari | Maaan! It tastes good. |
Misumi | Yup. |
|
Misumi | Oh, the fireworks have started… |
Kazunari | This is surprisingly a good spot to watch the fireworks. Let’s stay here. |
| *clicks* |
| The fireworks just now looked good~. |
Misumi | Did you take a good one~? |
Kazunari | It looks perfect! There’s also a triangular firework in the pic. Lemme post it on IG. |
|
Misumi | Hehe. |
Kazunari | You finally smiled, Sumi. |
Misumi | –. |
Kazunari | …You see, Sumi, do you really not want Madochin to watch our play? You didn’t invite him, did you? |
Misumi | …So you’ve found out. |
Kazunari | Well, of course. |
Misumi | Masumi has even taken the trouble to help me out. I have to apologize to him. |
| …After our Showdown Act, Madoka praised my performance and said he wanted to fly paper airplanes together. |
| I was really happy. I believed we could get along in the future. |
| But when I heard him say, “Facing such a family now will be asking too much,” it made me realize that it’s not that easy. |
| I know Madoka didn’t mean it in that way. |
| But somewhere in my heart, I couldn’t help but be worried if I’m still hated. |
| Since we still have time, I wonder if it’s better not to rush things. Because of that, I don’t know what to do… |
Kazunari | I see… |
| If you think it’s better to take your time, then do it. |
| I’m also the same, you see. Rather than regretting it in the future, I want to cherish the feelings I have now. |
| This applies to you too, Sumi. Cherish the feelings you have now and do what you want to do. |
Misumi | The feelings I have now… |
Kazunari | Then, when we recall our memories from this year’s summer later in the future, I want to remember it as a good memory. I want to feel like, “Ah~ That was such a great summer~.” |
| I know it’s strange, but summer is that kind of season. |
Misumi | Yeah… All the summers that I spent with the Summer Troupe members was so fun. I cherished them all. |
| I want this summer to be like any other summers too. |
Kazunari | I’m sure you can do it, Sumi. |
Misumi | Thanks. |
Kazunari | Alright, it’s posted! |
