| Sakuya | I wonder what this company-wide meeting is going to be about? |
| Masumi | Who knows. |
| Banri | .... |
| Juza | .... |
| Banri | Sit over there. I’m sick of being close to you in our room. |
| Juza | Then you go over there. |
| Banri | Aaah? |
| Taichi | Hey, hey! Ban-chan! Let's sit over there~! |
| Omi | Juza, you come this way. |
| Banri | .... |
| Juza | .... |
| Itaru | Isn't this our first time meeting across troupes? |
| Citron | I bet we're going to play a bingo game! |
| Itaru | I doubt it.... |
| Citron | I'm going to aim to win the deserted island! |
| Itaru | That’s too big of a scale. |
| Misumi | Lots of people~. |
| Kazunari | Everyone’s here—does that mean this is an Autumn Troupe welcome meeting? |
| Muku | But we did one yesterday night? |
| Kazunari | It's daytime, so maybe it’s a takoyaki party! |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san said he wanted to hold a company-wide meaning regarding the regulations of the troupe, but... I wonder what he means by regulations.) |
| Sakyo | ....Is everyone here? Then let's begin. |
| So, upon joining this troupe, I have something to say to you all. —Sakoda. |
| Sakoda | Yessir! |
| Izumi | (What's with that paper....) |
| Omi | The new slogan of MANKAI Company...? |
| Citron | Miso・Konnyaku・Celery Lifestyle....? |
| Sakyo | Simple・Frugal・Saving Lifestyle. |
| Sakoda | Listen up! This is the slogan aniki made! Written by me, Sakoda Ken! |
| Kazunari | Why so suddenly? |
| Muku | I wonder if we’re on a tight budget? |
| Sakyo | First. Each troupe gets 20 minutes to bathe. |
| Sakuya | Eh!? 20 minutes!? |
| Itaru | What is this, the military..... |
| Masumi | I can't bathe with five people. I'll bathe with Director. |
| Izumi | Rejected! |
| Sakyo | Rejected. |
| Next. Lights will be out at 10 PM. I'll be switching off the circuit breaker, so assume you can’t use electricity from then on. |
| Itaru | Seriously? There goes my late-night anime. |
| Kazunari | That’s way too early!! |
| Sakyo | And then... et cetera, et cetera.... we're saving here and there... cutting this and that..... |
| Izumi | (His saving plans are incredibly detailed....!) |
| Isn't this going to be impossible.....? |
| Kazunari | Seriously, it’s impossible! |
| Itaru | This is tyranny. |
| Misumi | This is troublesome~. |
| Sakyo | Shut up! |
| Do you know how much the electricity, water, and heating bills cost for this dorm!? |
| Izumi | (Is it that much?) |
| Manager, how much is it? |
| Manager | ....I wonder? |
| Izumi | You don't know!? |
| Manager | I've never paid the bills, but one of the seven mysteries of this dorm is that we've never been charged for them! |
| Izumi | No, you shouldn’t leave that as a mystery!? |
| Sakyo | ....Check in on it immediately. |
| Omi | Normally, they'd stop the water and electricity if we didn't pay the bills. |
| Izumi | Yeah. |
| (Does this mean someone has been paying our bills for us...?) |
| Sakyo | Let me remind you. This company owes my group ten million yen. |
| If you can't pay us back by the deadline, we'll crush this troupe without a second thought. You haven’t forgotten that, right? |
| Manager | Eeeeh!? But, that was before Furuichi-san joined the troupe... Now that we're teammates, doesn't that nullify our debts.... |
| Sakyo | Like hell that’d happen! |
| Izumi | (I thought maybe he’d make things a bit easier on us, but I guess I was too hopeful....) |
| Manager | Is there still a lot of debt left to pay? |
| Sakyo | The spring and summer performances helped a little, but we still have a long way to go. |
| How exactly do you plan on repaying the rest of your debts? Director-san, Manager Matsukawa, do you have any ideas? |
| Izumi | U, ummm... |
| (The only thing on my mind was completing all the performances up to the Winter Troupe....!) |
| Manager | The Fleur Award! |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Manager | It's the greatest theatre award in Japan, given to the best show that year! Its prize is ten million yen—enough money to repay all our debts! |
| Sakyo | How do you expect this run-down company to get that award!? Even the first generation only made it to the nomination. |
| Izumi | Even the first generation... |
| (Considering our current skill level, we probably won’t even be nominated....) |
| Itaru | No-win game. |
| Manager | Oh no... Then what should we do? |
| Sakyo | Nation-wide performances. |
| Izumi | Nation-wide performances? |
| Sakyo | We’ll make a profit by hosting MANKAI Company’s first performances for each season at different local theatres across the country. |
| Izumi | Ah, I see. That way, when one troupe is performing at MANKAI Theatre, the other troupes can perform at other locations. |
| Kazunari | Wow! A vacation across the country! I'm so hype~! |
| Citron | We can toil! |
| Itaru | Tour, yeah. |
| Manager | That’s an idea~! The first generation did the same thing! |
| Sakyo | Aside from than that, we should hold fan events, and sell goods, because those are likely to generate profits. |
| More specifically.... et cetera, et cetera. |
| Izumi | (Incredible. He's already thinking about goods and fan meetings in such detail.....) |
| Manager | Wow~! Our financial adviser and manager is incredible, as expected! So reliable! |
| Sakyo | Since when was I. |
| Manager | Eh? That's what he is, right, Director? |
| Izumi | Eh? Umm, yes. |
| Sakyo | Geez.... |
| Izumi | (His job is being forced onto him the same way mine was....) |
| Sakyo | Well, putting aside debts and whatnot, I do think we should aim for it. |
| Izumi | For what? |
| Sakyo | The Fleur Award. It’s a level your father couldn't reach. |
| Izumi | (Now that he mentions it, I recall getting a phone call from father when I was in middle school about a nomination for the Fleur Award....) |
| (I’d never heard him sound so excited. It really must be an amazing award.) |
| (Though in the end, he disappeared the very next year....) |
| Manager | In Veludo Town, rumor is that GOD-za, led by Kamikizaka Reni, is most likely to win the next Fleur award. |
| Yuki | GOD-za... the place with that nasty guy, huh. |
| Kazunari | Let's aim to be even better than GOD-za! |
| Citron | Yeah—! |
| Misumi | Yeah—! |
| Omi | Debts, huh... then we’ve got to do our best too, Autumn Troupe. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Banri | Well, it'll work out somehow. |
| Taichi | ...... |
| Sakyo | Well, our first goal is to pull off Autumn and Winter Troupe’s performances. |
| Izumi | You’re right... |
| (The Fleur Award comes way after that...!) |
