Keita	“That shop, why don’t we go there together?”
	“The kind of cuisine we’ll be able to eat, I’m looking forward to it.”
Izumi	(It’s good, Yano-san’s acting. He looks like he’s enjoying himself when he’s acting.)
	Thank you for your hard work. Just as I expected, you don’t show any signs of having taken a break from acting at all.
Keita	Really?
	That's a relief!
	Somehow……right now, simply being able to act is incredibly fun.
Izumi	I can tell. Because the Yano-san when he’s acting, is super full of life.
Keita	Somehow that sounds kind of childish…I’m a little embarrassed.
	But really, it feels hard to believe that I drifted away from acting.
	Just like back when I was a student, my head is filled with thoughts of acting. It felt so nostalgic, I even tried to get in contact with members of my old theatre troupe.
Izumi	Yano-san once again taking up acting……Weren’t your friends happy when they heard that?
Keita	Well, on the contrary, they were astonished.
	“To think that a theatre nerd like you, drifted away from theatre until now.” they said.

	“To think that a theatre nerd like you, drifted away from theatre until now.” they said.
Izumi	Ahaha, I see.
Keita	I was told that “we’ll come to watch your play”, so I was just thinking that I have to work all the more harder from now on.
Izumi	Somehow, isn’t that good? We’ll have to show them your cool side.
Keita	Yes. Honestly, I’m really glad that you called out to me that time.
	I’m truly grateful, so thank you.
Izumi	I should be the one saying that. It has been a huge help and reassuring to have an experienced person like Yano-san joining us.
Keita	If my knowledge can be of any help, then I’m glad.
	Right, speaking of ways I’m glad to have been of help, there’s one more thing.
Izumi	What is it?
Keita	I’m an only child. But here, I would be sorted into the adult group, wouldn’t I?
	Having everyone rely on me, and being asked questions…it feels like having younger brothers so I’m really happy.
Izumi	Ah, I understand! Everyone here really feels like they’re siblings.
Troupe member	Keita-sa~n! Director~! May I have a minute~!
Keita	Haha, just speaking of the devil.
	Should we go then?
Izumi	Yep.
