Previous	Main Story	Next
Izumi We've arrived, guys~! Tenma ....So this is our training camp, huh. Yuki It kinda reminds me of something. Muku It reminds me of my club's training camp, somehow. Misumi The roof is triangle~. Kazunari The place gives off retro vibes! I should take a pic and post it on Insta. Hey, let's take a pic together. Yuki No way. Kazunari Eeeh! Tenma Stop making a racket! Just go inside already! Misumi Yes, yee~s! Yuki Why is he so motivated about this... Muku Let's go, Yuki-kun. Izumi (Tenma-kun is somehow really enthused about this...) (I was surprised at first when he suggested the members should have a sleepover, but going on a camping trip doesn't feel that strange.) (We ran into a little bit of trouble when we were about to depart, though...) Masumi I'm going as well. Izumi No, this is a training camp for Summer Troupe. Masumi I'll join Summer Troupe. Sakuya Eeeh!? What about Spring Troupe, Masumi-kun!? Masumi Why is this guy going along, anyway? Manager Are you talking about me? I'm coming as a gofer, of course! Tsuzuru You sound so happy about that. Masumi I'm coming as a gofer too. Tsuzuru You still have practices, you know! Don't say such a selfish thing. Masumi Get off me, Tsuzuru. Tsuzuru I'll take care of him, so have a safe trip Directooo~or! Izumi Thanks, Tsuzuru-kun! Look after the dorm while I'm away, guys! Sakuya Good luck on your training camp~! Izumi Well then, we're going to practice here for three days and two nights, so good luck, everyone! We'll start by doing a read-through. I'd like all of you to make use of the advise from last time and we'll dig a lit bit deeper into the matter after that. Yuki "Be careful, Alibaba." Tenma Oi, Scheherazade doesn't sound that cheerful. Yuki Haaah? ....Ah, I see. She was told to join the king's harem after all. Tenma That's right. The truth will be told towards the end of the story, so the actors have to act based on that. Yuki Okay, okay. Izumi (Tenma-kun is still pointing out the members' mistakes, but this time it's concrete and easy to understand.) (I can also give some advice as a director, but I'd like to leave it to Tenma-kun for now.) Yuki "Alibaba, there's a fatal disadvantage if you do not listen to old stories properly." Tenma You have to convey your feelings for Alibaba at that part. Don't just act on intuition. Yuki ....I know. Izumi (Yuki-kun might be weak at thinking deeply about some of his lines. Tenma-kun has pointed that out nicely, though, so I'm relieved.) Kazunari "Ah, that girl is really cute. Hey, wanna hang out with me?" Tenma Be more cheerful at that part. Kazunari Eh? Is that so? Tenma That girl will become your bride in the future, so the way you hit on her should be different from usual. Kazunari Hmmm, I see. Okay okay! "Ah, that girl is really cute. Hey, want to hang out with me?" Izumi (Kazunari's acting is good, but it's difficult for him to grasp the scene's situation.) Muku "Grow up, Alibaba. There's no such thing as legendary fara--." Tenma Paradise. Muku Sorry! "Grew--grow up, Alibaba." Izumi (Muku-kun tends to make more mistakes when someone points it out. I guess it's a problem with his confidence.) Misumi "Legendary paradise? It doesn't exist." Izumi (Misumi-kun is doing a good job.) Misumi "Just give--ah!" Izumi (Ah? There's no such line in the script.) What's wrong, Misumi-kun? Misumi That cloud is a triangle! Tenma Oi, we're in the middle of practice! Izumi (I can't believe this is Misumi-kun's weakness...! He has to be able to concentrate more in the play...) Yuki Say, why did Scheherazade start telling the One Thousand and One Nights stories? Kazunari Wasn't that her job? Tenma Wrong. Misumi Maybe because she got rice balls as a reward~. Tenma That's totally wrong! Kazunari Hmm, Tsuzurun is not here, so we can't ask him. Muku Although the play is about Arabian Nights, the Scheherazade in this play may be a little bit different from the original one... Kazunari How is the original Scheherazade? Muku In order to stop the king from executing the women who shared the night with him, she married the king and told him a story every night. Scheherazade always left the ending of the stories untold and promised the king that she would do so the next night. That's why she was able to avoid execution. Yuki So it's like that. Kazunari You're well-informed, Mukkun! Muku I've read the whole volume. Izumi The whole volume? But the original story is really long. Muku I borrowed the book from the library and before I knew it, I'd already read it all. The stories are a little bit too mature for me, but... it's really interesting. Misumi I shall give you Super Sankaku-kun because you're great~! Muku Eh, eh? What is this? Yuki Hmm, a strange mascot-like triangle thing? Kazunari It's cute, I think? It's like Kitty, maybe? Yuki Not at all. Misumi It's super because it has colors~. Muku It's an upgraded version of the eraser one...! Thank you! Tenma Did you read it for the play? Muku Yes, I want to understand the One Thousand and One Nights world more... Tenma ...Well, I appreciate your effort. Muku Thanks! Yuki So he's a king who likes to kill women, huh.. If that's the case, Scheherazade definitely doesn't want to marry him, right. Tenma So now you understand Scheherazade's feelings, huh. Learn from Muku a little bit. Yuki ....Shut up. I know. Muku, tell me the details later. I need it for costume references. Muku Of course! Izumi (Yes, this is good. They're making progress from last time.)
