| Tsuzuru | "Romeo, you're going to carry this family in the future." |
| Masumi | "This town." |
| Tsuzuru | Eh? |
| Masumi | It's "this town," not "this family." |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, damn... |
| Masumi | You forget your lines despite being the playwright. |
| Tsuzuru | You even remember other characters' lines, huh. |
| Masumi | Even an idiot can remember the lines just by hearing it everyday. |
| Tsuzuru | Are you being sarcastic? |
| Masumi | You're just imagining it. |
| Tsuzuru | What? |
| Izumi | Stop right there. Continue with your lines, Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | ...Okay. |
| |
| Izumi | (Several days have passed since we started doing the read-through, but things still aren't going smoothly.) |
| (I'd like to go on with the actual practice, but looking at this, we may not have enough time...) |
| Masumi | You're next. |
| Tsuzuru | I know. |
| Izumi | (And the atmosphere is bad because of this...) |
| Sakuya | Ah, so-sorry. I'm next. |
| Izumi | (In this kind of atmosphere, practice is getting harder and everyone makes more mistakes than usual.) |
| |
| Alright, that's all for today's practice. We're progressing slowly, so I'd like everyone to practice more on your own. |
| Masumi | By everyone, you mean just these two, huh. |
| Tsuzuru | Who are you referring to? |
| Masumi | Who knows. |
| Tsuzuru | You're really being sarcastic. |
| Sakuya | Sorry, I'm the one who should practice more, right? |
| Masumi | *sigh* |
| Izumi | (I don't have any issues with Masumi-kun's acting skill, but this part of him troubles me...) |
| |
| Sakuya | Citron-san, I'll turn off the lights. |
| Citron | Okay. |
| Tsuzuru | Hey, are you awake? |
| Sakuya | Tsuzuru-kun? Yeah, we're awake. |
| File:Act 1 Ch 11.png |
| Citron | How strange for you to come at this time. |
| Sakuya | You even bring a pillow. What's wrong? |
| Tsuzuru | I don't want to sleep in the same room with that guy. Let me crash here; I'll sleep on the floor. |
| Sakuya | Eh? Do you mean Masumi-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | Hearing his name alone annoys me so much. What's with that guy? He kept turning on me when I was practicing by myself. |
| Sakuya | Is that so? That's rare. |
| Tsuzuru | Rare? He's always like that. |
| Sakuya | No. It seems Masumi-kun is always alone at school. |
| He's popular with the girls due to his appearance, but he's also known to be always ignoring everyone who tries to talk to him. |
| I was suprised to know that he clings to Director, but I feel like he doesn't have any interest in us, like he won't even respond to us... |
| Tsuzuru | Now that you mentioned it, ever since we started practicing Romeo and Juliet, he began criticize us more. |
| Citron | I get it! He's a tsundere. |
| Tsuzuru | He doesn't have any dere. |
| Sakuya | I heard that Masumi-kun's parents are usually overseas, so he's always alone at home. That's why I think he's just not used at interacting with people... |
| Tsuzuru | Home alone? He doesn't have any siblings? |
| Sakuya | I think he's a single child. |
| Tsuzuru | I see... I have a lot of brothers, so I can't imagine being home alone. |
| Sakuya | Uhh, I know that what Masumi-kun says is harsh, but I also think he's correct. |
| I always get panic whenever my turn comes, so it makes me wonder whether I'm the source of our lack of practice... |
| Citron | Don't mind it. I don't even mind not having a lot of lines. |
| Tsuzuru | But I want you to mind about it a little more. |
| And yeah, well, you have a point. Alright, should we start doing morning practice? |
| Sakuya | Ah, that's a good idea! Let's do it! |
| Citron | Me too. The early bird catches Toku-san[1] |
| Tsuzuru | Who is Toku-san? It's "the worm". |
| Very well, I'll see you guys at the practice room at 6 tomorrow. |
| Sakuya | Okay! We should head to bed soon. Please use my bed, Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, no, it's okay. I'm going to sleep in my own room. |
| Sakuya | Is that so? |
| Tsuzuru | I should tell that guy about our morning practice, anyway. |
| Sakuya | I see! I'm sure Masumi-kun will show up! |
| Tsuzuru | We don't know for sure. |
| Citron | Then, we should send a voice mail to Director and Itaru. |
| Sakuya | Let's do that! |
| |
| Are you there, Itaru-san? |
| ...Eh? |
| I wonder if he's already asleep. |
| Tsuzuru | But I heard clattering noises from inside. |
| Citron | It could be cockroaches. |
| Sakuya | Eh!? |
| Tsuzuru | Isn't that the sound of a game con——. |
| Sakuya | If there are cockroaches, we have to exterminate it! We're coming in, Itaru-san! |
| |
| Itaru | Sweet! 10 kills. Take that, you're a hundred years too early to challenge me. |
| Sakuya | Itaru, san...? |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, he's really playing games. |
| Itaru | Hm...? |
| Citron | You're in relax mode, huh, Itaru. Japanese dried fish[2]! |
| Itaru | Ah—... What do you want? |
| Sakuya | Uh, ummm, we're planning to do morning practice tomorrow. Do you want to join us, Itaru-san? |
| Itaru | What time? |
| Tsuzuru | We plan to start at 6. |
| Itaru | 6, huh. I'll think about it. |
| Sakuya | Y-yes. We'll leave, then. |
| Itaru | Good work—. |
| |
| Sakuya | .... |
| Tsuzuru | .... |
| Sakuya | He's a little bit different from his usual image. |
| Tsuzuru | It's not just a little bit. |
| I took a peek at what Itaru-san is playing, and it's a hardcore online game. I heard that a lot of people from all around the world are addicted to the game. |
| Citron | "Ultimate Weapon 4" is an online FPS war game. Judging that he has that equipment at level 124, it means that he's a heavy whaler. He's super addicted to the game. |
| Tsuzuru | The fact that you even know such a thing means you're an addict too! |
| Citron | It's a mandatary lesson in my country. |
| Sakuya | Seriously!? |
| Tsuzuru | You're lying, aren't you!? |
| Citron | It's a joke. |
| Sakuya | And here I am wondering if you're saying the truth... |
| Still, will Itaru-san show up at our morning practice tomorrow? |
| Tsuzuru | Well, I can't say for sure. He's too busy playing games. For now, let's tell Director. |
