Sakuya Good morning! Tsuzuru Morning. Citron Morning. Itaru Morning. Masumi ..... Sakyo ..... Sakuya !? Tsuzuru Oi, that guy... Sakuya He's that debt collector, right. Why is he here...? Citron Call him, Tsuzuru. Tsuzuru No! Masumi, do it. Masumi .... Tsuzuru Don't ignore me! Itaru Sum-mon Di-rec-tor☆ Izumi Morning, guys—. Tsuzuru You're amazing, Itaru-san. Sakyo .... Izumi !! What's your business here? We will be performing the play this month as promised. Sakyo Have the tickets for the final performance sold out yet? Izumi That, That is——. Sakyo You fail even if there's only one empty seat. Izumi I get it already! Sakyo Hmph. Good, then. Sakuya That guy only came here to say that. Tsuzuru He has a bad personality. Masumi Annoying. Itaru Have we not sold all the tickets for our final performance? Izumi We sold more than the other days, but... Tsuzuru It's tough. Sakuya Is there another way for us to sell the tickets? Citron What if we include a handshake ticket as a bonus? Izumi It'd be effective if we already have fans... Itaru We just started, so we're not that popular yet. Izumi Uggh... Kazunari Good workie—! Tsuzuru Huh? What are you doing here, Miyoshi-san? Kazunari I'm here to support you guys, yeah? I wonder how you're feeling right now—. Tsuzuru Is that so.... Kazunari Huh, the atmosphere is kinda gloomy here? Tsuzuru The tickets are not selling as well as we thought, so we're thinking about how to advertise... Kazunari For real? The theatre will be destroyed if the tickets are not selling, right? That's really bad. Tsuzuru That's why, now that you know our situation, it's not the time for Miyoshi-san to——. Kazunari Ah! I have an idea! TV! Isn't it good if you appear on TV? Izumi TV? But it's not easy to do that, you know? Kazunari Ah, not at all! I know someone! Izumi You have an acquaintance who works at a TV station....? Kazunari I'm going to call them. Bye, good luck! Izumi Ah, wait——. He came and went so suddenly. Tsuzuru He's always like that. Masumi He's shady. Izumi Hmm, but it'd be really good if we can appear on TV. Well then, let's take an hour break——. ??? Excuse me! Izumi ?? ??? Good afternoon. I'll be in your care today. Izumi Who are you??? Sakuya Camera? Tsuzuru What is happening? Anzai My name is Anzai, the director for Velvet TV. We came here for "The Show" coverage——. Izumi Coverage!? TV Station!? Anzai Have you not been informed? Izumi No... Anzai That's weird. We've already contacted the manager... Tsuzuru I bet he forgot about it... Izumi He forgot it... Sakuya But if they came here for TV coverage, then Kazunari-san did contact his acquaintance. Itaru That's surprising. I didn't expect it at all. Tsuzuru That guy's parents know a lot of people. Itaru Parents' connection, huh. Anzai Can I do the coverage, then? Izumi Of course! Please take care of us! Anzai All right, roll the camera. Reporter Okay! Today we came to the practice room of MANKAI Company, an old theatre company that staged a big brilliant comeback. First, we'll be interviewing the president as well as director Tachibana-san. The members for this performance are all new members, right? Izumi Yes. We built the play with the new members. Reporter I heard that the play is an arranged version of Romeo and Juliet. Would you like to share the highlights of it? Izumi It's a friendship story between a male Juliet and Romeo. Please come and watch it. Reporter Thank you. Next, we'd like to continue interviewing the cast of the play. First up are the main and co-protagonists, Sakuya Sakuma-kun and Masumi Usui-kun. Sakuya P-p-p-p-p-p-please take care of me! Izumi (He's stiff.) Masumi Hello. Reporter This time, your friendship is the main highlight here. Do you think that your breathing patterns are already perfectly in sync? Sakuya Of-of-of-of of course! Right, Masumi-kun!? Masumi ...Not really. Sakuya Eeeeh!? Reporter Ahaha. Your dialogue is perfect. We heard that the play script was written by Mercutio's actor, Tsuzuru Minagi-san——. Tsuzuru ——. Reporter Tsuzuru-san? Tsuzuru Ah, yes. I wro, I wrot——I wrote it. Izumi (Tsuzuru-kun is super nervous.) Reporter Is there any difficulty that you come across as an actor and the playwright? Tsuzuru We, well——I was given a short time to write the script, so it was a little bit hard, but it was fun and worth it. Reporter I see, so that made you feel motivated. Next is Tybalt's actor, Itaru Chigasaki-san. Itaru I'll be in your care. Reporter Whoah, you're handsome—! Itaru Haha, thank you. I think girls will enjoy our performance a lot since the cast is all men. Please come and watch it. Izumi (How neat, Itaru-san...! I didn't even think about our final performance....) Reporter Next is——ughh, the Father's actor, Citron-san? Citron Yes. Sakuya Why do you cover your face with a mask, Citron-san? Tsuzuru Since when!? Citron I can't appear on TV without wearing makeup. Tsuzuru Are you a girl!? Reporter Is the Father's role like this? Tsuzuru It doesn't have anything to do with his role! Anzai All right, that's a wrap. Thank you for today. I'll be in your care again if anything happens. Izumi Me too! Reporter Good luck on your performance. Izumi Thank you! Sakuya Haa—, I was nervous... Tsuzuru I didn't even know what I said. Citron Somehow, I feel more suffocated than usual. Tsuzuru Isn't that because of your mask!? Itaru It'd be good if our appearance shows some effect. Izumi You're right. I hope we can sell more tickets...

Sakuya Good morning! Tsuzuru ‘Morning. Citron It’s good morning. Itaru G’morning. Masumi .... Sakyo .... Sakuya !? Tsuzuru H-hey, isn’t that... Sakuya That’s the debt collector, right. What is he doing here....? Citron Tsuzuru, go talk to him. Tsuzuru No way! Masumi, you go. Masumi .... Tsuzuru Don’t ignore me! Itaru Summoning—the Director ☆. *Sparkling noises* Izumi Good morning, everyone. Tsuzuru Amazing, Itaru-san. Sakyo .... Izumi !! What business do you have here? As promised, we’re holding our performance later this month. Sakyo Have tickets sold out for the final performance? Izumi W-well—. Sakyo If you leave even one seat open, that’s it. Izumi I know! Sakyo Hmph. Fine then. Sakuya Did he come here just to say that? Tsuzuru What a bad personality. Masumi Annoying. Itaru The final performance still hasn’t sold out? Izumi It’s doing better than the other days, but... Tsuzuru This is rough. Sakuya I wonder if there’s a better way to sell more tickets. Citron How about we add handshake tickets. Izumi That would work if we had any fans, but... Itaru Nobody knows about us because we just started up. Izumi Hmm.... Kazunari Otsupico~! Tsuzuru Huh? Miyoshi-san, what are you doing here? Kazunari I, like, came to check in and cheer you on? I wanted to know how you guys were doing~. Tsuzuru Is that so.... Kazunari Huh? Aren’t you guys kinda down? Tsuzuru Tickets aren’t selling too well, so we’re trying to figure out how to advertise.... Kazunari Seriously? You gotta sell or this place is done for, right? That’s so terrible. Tsuzuru Yes, that’s the situation, so I don’t have time to deal with you, Miyoshi-san—. Kazunari Hey! I have a good idea! TV! You guys should go on TV. Izumi TV? We can’t go on TV just like that? Kazunari Oh, no prob! I’ll put in a word for ya! Izumi Do you know somebody at the TV station...? Kazunari I’m gonna get in touch with them. Well then, good luck! Izumi Ah, wait—. He left as abruptly as he came. Tsuzuru He’s always like that. Masumi Suspicious. Izumi Hmm, it’d be nice if we really could advertise on TV. Izumi Time for a one hour break—. ??? Excuse us! Izumi ??? ??? Hello~. We’re looking forward to working with you today. Izumi Excuse me, who are you??? Sakuya A camera? Tsuzuru Wonder what’s going on. Anzai I’m Anzai, the director of Veludo TV. I came to interview you for “The Show,” but—. Izumi Interview!? TV!? Anzai You didn’t hear? Izumi Nothing at all... Anzai Strange. I got in touch with the manager.... Tsuzuru He probably forgot... Izumi He definitely forgot.... Sakuya But the fact that they came means that Kazunari-san really got in touch with them. Itaru I’m surprised. I didn’t expect anything at all. Izumi His parents are pretty well-known. Itaru So it’s his parents’ connections... Anzai So may we interview you? Izumi Of course! It’s nice to meet you. Anzai Alright, we’re starting the camera. Reporter Hello! Today we came to visit MANKAI Company—an old-time troupe that might be familiar to those in the know—and check in on their practice. First, I’d like to ask the director and leader Tachibana-san some questions. If I’m correct, I’ve heard that all the members for this performance are totally new? Izumi Yes. We started from zero, with new members and all. Reporter So this performance is an arrangement of Romeo and Juliet—please give us some highlights. Izumi It’s a friendship story between Juliet—as a boy—and Romeo. Please check it out. Reporter Thank you very much. Next, I’d like to ask the actors some questions. First are the two leads, Sakuma Sakuya-kun and Usui Masumi-kun. Sakuya P-p-p-please take care of me! Izumi (He’s totally stiff.) Masumi Hi. Reporter I’ve heard your friendship is the main highlight of this play. Do you two work perfectly in sync? Sakuya O-o-o-o-o-of course! Right, Masumi-kun!? Masumi ...Not really. Sakuya Eeeeh!? Reporter Ahaha. Your interactions seem perfect. Minagi Tsuzuru-san, playing Mercutio, wrote the script for this play—. Tsuzuru ——. Reporter Tsuzuru-san? Tsuzuru Ah, yes. I w-wa-was able to write—I wrote it. Izumi (Tsuzuru-kun is also really nervous.) Reporter Did you run into any difficulties being both the scriptwriter and an actor? Tsuzuru W-well—I didn’t have much time to write the script, so that was a little tough, but everything after that felt worthwhile, and I’m having fun. Reporter I see you’re full of spirit. Next is Chigasaki Itaru-san, playing Tybalt. Itaru Please take care of me. Reporter Wow, you’re handsome! Itaru Haha, thank you. The cast is all-male, so I’m sure that ladies will enjoy this show; please consider coming to watch us. Izumi (This is the pretty Itaru-san...! He’s a completely different person than when he’s in his dried-food state...) Reporter Next is—umm, the Friar, Citron-san? Citron Yes. Sakuya Citron-san, why are you wearing a mask!? Tsuzuru When did you put that on!? Citron I can’t appear on TV with no make-up. Tsuzuru What are you, a girl!? Reporter Is the Friar this kind of role? Tsuzuru Absolutely not! Anzai Okay, we’re good. Thank you very much. If something comes up in the future, please take care of us again. Izumi The same goes for us. Thank you! Reporter Good luck with your performance. Izumi Thank you very much! Sakuya Phew, I was so nervous.... Tsuzuru I didn’t even know what I was saying. Citron I felt kind of stuffy. Tsuzuru That’s because of your mask!? Itaru Hopefully this advertisement works out. Izumi You’re right. I hope it boosts ticket sales a little...
