Izumi Good morning! Today we’ll start reading out the script! Tsumugi Good morning. Azuma You seem happy, Director. Izumi Of course! Isn’t it exciting to have a new script? Tasuku *yawn*… Izumi Huh? Tasuku-san, did you not get enough sleep? Tasuku Yeah— Tsumugi It’s because we’re reading out the script today. He’s always been unable to sleep the night before something he’s looking forward to. Homare Like an elementary schooler! Tasuku Tsumugi, don’t say unnecessary things. Hisoka …He’s the same as Director. Izumi Ahaha, I understand how Tasuku-san feels. Okay, let’s start from the beginning! Tsumugi Yes. Izumi (The play this time is about an angel who falls in love with a human and is faced with tragic consequences.) Izumi (However, skill is required to play a non-human role…) Tasuku “You sure haven’t grown tired of that.” Tsumugi “Raphael…” Tasuku “What’s so interesting about the human world?” Izumi (Their movements are fluid and have a unique feel. I wonder if they decided on that after discussing it yesterday.) Tasuku “Foolish Michael.” Tsumugi “Raphael, you’re worried about me, aren’t you?” Tasuku “Falling in love with a human only causes sorrow. I know that for a fact.” Tsumugi “That doesn’t matter. Even if it makes me miserable, I want to make her happy.” Izumi (Tsumugi-san’s tone of voice is gentle, but you can feel the strength of his determination. It’s a big difference from his lack of confidence from before. He’s not losing to Tasuku-san.) (They’re butting heads through their meticulously calm exchange, but even so, they have good chemistry. They are by far the best combination among all the troupes.) Homare “You want to help a female human? Hmm. The strait-laced Michael harbors some surprisingly bold thoughts.” “In that case, you can descend on the human world.” Tsumugi “I can descend on the human world?” Homare “Yes you can. However, if you stay in the human world for too long, you will become unable to return to heaven. You must be careful.” Tsumugi “Thank you, Metatron.” Izumi (Homare-san is perfect for this theme. He suits an other-worldly aura extremely well.) Hisoka “The day when her soul departs for heaven is already decided. Don’t waste your time interfering” Tsumugi “That list is just a prediction. It’s not set in stone.” Hisoka “Even so, it’s not something you can twist around at your own discretion. If you’re going to let personal feelings get in the way, you’ll be taken before the council of heavenly laws.” Izumi (Hisoka-san is also perfect. His acting stresses a different type of reality from Tsumugi-san and Tasuku-san…) Azuma “You there. Unauthorized people aren’t allowed here.” Tsumugi “Oh, I’m sorry.” Azuma “What business do you have with her?” Tsumugi “You are…?” Azuma “I’m her attending physician.” Izumi (As I thought, Azuma-san exhibits an aura just from standing on stage.) (He’s inexperienced in acting and he’s just starting, he’s cautious, and he’s the only one with a human role among the angels – but even so, it a perfect fit!) (There don’t seem to be any uneasiness towards acting among the Winter Troupe members. It’s probably best to call Yuzo-san while it’s still early.) (That way, we can have a quality that rivals God Seat just in time for the real performance…!) Homare Fufun, my poetic inspiration is surging. I shall compose in the courtyard under the moonlight— Hm? ??? … Homare Gya———!!! Izumi !? Manager Wha- W-W-what was that voice just now!? Azuma It was Homare’s voice. Tsumugi It sounded like it was from the hallway. Hisoka …Someone fell over. Azuma It didn’t sound like he just fell over though. Manager I-It must be one of the company’s Seven Mysteries— Izumi Enough of that! Tasuku Let’s go. Homare ―― Izumi Homare-san, are you all right!? Azuma What happened? Homare A- A dark shadow brought confusion upon me… Manager He’s confused…! Tsumugi This is just like the usual… Tasuku A dark shadow…? Tetsuro … Izumi Tetsuro-san! Tetsuro … Izumi Huh? What is it? Manager It looks like he wants to have a meeting regarding the new play’s set. Izumi I see… Homare W-who is that? Izumi That’s Tetsuro-san, the one we always count on for our stage sets. Tasuku So it was just a false alarm… Tsumugi I’m glad that it wasn’t anything serious. Homare W-well, I do not believe in the occult anyway. It was just as I suspected. Manager Oh no no, it’s too early to feel relieved! The Seven Mysteries really do exist in this theater! Izumi There you go again~ Tsumugi Well, it just wasn’t the case this time. Tasuku …Right. Azuma Oh? That’s unexpected. I thought you two were realists. Tsumugi We were supposed to be, yes… Izumi Well, it would be convenient if the “Truthful Magnifying Glass” really existed. Homare Hmph, there is no way it exists… As if there really is a magnifying glass that lets you hear people’s minds.
