| Misumi | Come on, come on~ this way~. |
| Cat | Nyan, nya nya! |
| Misumi | Ahaha. |
| Cat | ! |
| Misumi | What’s wrong, kitty-cat? Is there something over there—. |
| Chikage | .... |
| Misumi | Ah, it’s Chikage! Welcome home~. |
| Chikage | I’m home. Are you playing with a cat in the tree again? |
| Misumi | Yup! You should play with us too, Chikage~! |
| Chikage | No, I think I’ll pass. I just got back from work, after all. |
| Cat | Nya~. |
| Misumi | Kitty-cat wants to play with Chikage~. |
| Cat | Nyan! |
| Chikage | (I’ve gotten so used to it, but now that I think about it, talking to cats is an amazing skill...) |
| Misumi, shouldn’t you head inside soon? We were told there’s a company meeting today. |
| Misumi | Ah, you’re right! I need to go too~. |
| Well then, kitty-cat, see you~. |
| Cat | Nya~. |
| Misumi | Heave-ho. |
| Chikage | Hm? Misumi, you dropped something. ...A triangular bell? |
| Misumi | Thanks for picking it up~. |
| Isn’t it unusual? A crow gave it to me when I won a game of tag~. |
| Chikage | You’re friends with crows, too? In some sense, you have more communication skills than Kazunari does.... |
| |
| Sakyo | —All right. Everyone’s here. Director-san. |
| Izumi | Yes. |
| Some of you here might have realized already, but... “that thing” is approaching. |
| Guy | That thing? |
| Kumon | Huh? Huh? What’s this about? |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, that thing.... |
| Citron | That thing! |
| Omi | Right, that thing. |
| Itaru | .... |
| Sakyo | The “night walk,” an autumn event hosted in Veludo Town. |
| Azami | What’s that? |
| Izumi | It’s a nighttime event where Veludo’s theater troupes walk along all sorts of courses and compete with each other through theater. |
| Everyone wears their stage costumes, and we perform etudes all over, so it’s good PR for the troupe in many ways. |
| Sakyo | The troupe that wins enough etude battles and comes in first place is awarded money. |
| Kumon | Awesome! Sounds fun! Did you guys participate last year, too? |
| Tenma | Well, yeah.... |
| Sakyo | We came close to winning last year, but failed in the end mainly because of Chigasaki. |
| Banri | Yeah, that’s right. And Itaru-san and Tenma and Sakuya had to do a punishment game. |
| Chikage | Punishment game? |
| Tsumugi | Last year, MANKAI Company split up into three teams for the night walk tournament, but—. |
| The members of each team who crossed the goal last were supposed to do a punishment game. |
| Citron | The three last-place winners did a street act in fluffy bunny costumes! |
| Kazunari | I have a video! Look! |
| Tenma | Hey, you don’t need to show them—! |
| Azami | Ugh... yeah, I definitely don’t want to do that. |
| Guy | ...You tried your best. |
| Chikage | .... |
| Itaru | Senpai. Don’t turn away and hold in your laughter. |
| Sakuya | It was a punishment game, but the bunny street act was a good learning experience. |
| Kazunari | Everyone really liked it, too~. They were like, super-cute-bunbun-rabbits, so hype~! |
| Tenma | That’s just you! |
| Geez, why’d I have to go through this.... |
| Yuki | It’s your own fault for dragging us down. |
| Itaru | ...I apologize for causing you so much trouble last year. This year, I’ve had a change of heart, and I’ll do my very best during the night walk. |
| Tasuku | Want me to build a stamina improvement menu for you? |
| Itaru | I think I’ll pass on that. |
| Taichi | Let’s work together to win the prize money for sure this year~! |
| Sakyo | Then let’s determine teams through lottery again. Everyone, draw—. |
| *Crash* |
| Manager | W-we’re in trouble~!! |
| Muku | Woah! Y-you surprised me. |
| Masumi | Noisy.... |
| Izumi | What’s wrong? You look so flustered. |
| Manager | N-n-n-n.... |
| Izumi | Nananana? |
| Juza | A song? |
| Manager | The night walk has been cancelled!! |
| Troupe members | Eeh—!? |
