Previous	Event Story	Next
Juza’s Mom I heard Muku-chan won another race! Kumon Seriously!? That’s sick! Juza’s Mom Let’s go cheer him on next time. Kumon Sure! You too, Nii-chan! Juza ...No, I’m good. Kumon Whyyy~!? Juza (I’ll only freak people out if I go. ‘Sides, what if people start spreading bad rumors about Muku because of me?) Tenma Thank you so much! Misumi Thanks for coming~! Muku Thank you very much! Juza (That’s Muku? He looks like a totes different person.) (I heard he was kind of down after quitting track and field, but he didn’t look that way at all on the stage.) (Never knew he could shine like that onstage.) (Maybe I, too...) Juza You’re the reason why I started theater. Seeing you take a step forward to theater gave me the courage to do the same. But what if you go back to track and field, and in the worst case get injured again…. What if you clash with your teammates and get hurt in the process... What if that issue affects your acting as well... I just don’t want to see you get hurt again. ...But that’s just my ego speaking. I didn’t know how you feel about returning to track and field. No one can ruin your desire to run again, just like how no one can ruin my desire to perform onstage. I should’ve told you, “If you’re gonna do it, give 110 percent at both of them. I’ll support you.” It’s my job as your fellow troupe member, your family and your co-star, to support what you wanna do and back you up. Sorry for being harsh on you the other day. Muku ...It’s alright. I should thank you instead, Juchan. I know you said those things because you were worried about me. I could make up my mind because of your words. I finally realized my own feelings. I’m sure there’s still a part of me who longs to participate in a relay race with my clubmates... I thought I’d moved on, but... Maybe I thought that way because somewhere in my heart, I was sure my leg hadn’t recovered, because I felt like I couldn’t go back to track and field. This time, I won’t regret it even if I can’t manage to bring the best outcome after practicing. I just want to do my best to take part in the race with the others, just like before. I want to do my best until the end. And I want you to watch me run. Juza Sure. Show me how you run as the Ace of the club. Muku Okay! I’ll give it my all. And you see, I’ve never thought about leaving the theater. Mankai Company is a precious place that everyone gave to me when I was still unable to go back to track and field. And I don’t think I can ever quit now that I know how much fun acting is. Juza. ...I know, right. I have to focus on our upcoming play first before the race. Juza We’ve gotta catch up after causing troubles like that. Muku Let’s do our best! Juza Man, this place sure is out of this world... Azami Freakin’ spacious. Izumi It’s more gorgeous than the photos... Oh, right. Thanks for coming with us, Azami-kun. Azami Nah, no need to thank me. I wanted to see the dressing room since I’ll be doing y'all makeup. Kazunari Mukkun, you’re not getting seasick or anything, right? Muku Yep. I’m alright. I already took some medicine, and it’s not like we’re riding a small boat where we can feel its motion. Saionji I’ve been expecting you. My name is Saionji. Izumi My name is Tachibana. Nice to meet you. Muku (Hm? I feel like I’ve seen this person before...) Saionji I’d like to offer my gratitude for accepting our request. Izumi I should be the one thanking you for offering us such an amazing request like this. It’s not everyday we get the chance to perform in a place like this. I’m grateful for it. Saionji I’m also attempting a lot of new things. I don’t usually hold a jewel showcase... Since this is the first time it’ll be showcased in Japan, I chose this ship as the venue so that a lot of people can see it. And because I want people to also enjoy the cruise, I decided to hold it for several days and considered adding more activities throughout the journey. That was how someone suggested I hold a stage play here. Due to that, I went around the Veludo Way by myself in search of a theater troupe. Izumi I see. Muku Oh! Are you perhaps the person who dropped his cufflinks the other day...!? Saionji Thank you for picking it up at that time. Muku N-No problem! Sakyo You know each other? Saionji He helped me when I was walking around the Veludo Way. I’ve got to know MANKAI Company because of him. I looked it up afterward and decided to offer you a request to perform here. It just so happened that my acquaintance was also bringing you up. I believe it might be fate after knowing that my acquaintance’s son is also a member of your theater troupe. Kazunari Are you talking about my papi!? Sakyo Receiving an offer after helping someone... Yuki That’s just so Muku. Banri Sounds like something that comes out of the Straw Millionaire. Muku Ehehe... Come to think of it, I remember some jewels are embedded in the cufflinks. Saionji That’s right. You have a good memory. Muku I remember it because it’s so beautiful. Saionji Right. Why don’t you all participate in the jewel unveiling while we’re at it? Since the unveiling will be held a day after the closing show, I’d like you all to stay one day longer here... Muku Can we, really? Izumi Thank you so much! Juza Jewels in a luxurious ship... That’s just like our play. Kazunari It won’t be weird if some thieves come to steal it. Sakyo The setting is just perfect. We won’t have any issues making the audience immersed in the play like this. Muku Now we only need to do our best! Juza We’ve gotta focus. Saionji ...Oh, I almost forgot. Tachibana-san... Izumi Yes?
