Izumi With that said, I'd like to announce that Itaru Chigasaki-san and Citron-kun will officially be joining our theatre company from today onwards! Citron I'll be in your care. Izumi (I'm still a little bit unused to seeing Citron-kun without his mask. I was surprised to know that he looks more handsome than I thought he'd be.) Manager Whoah! You managed to gather all five members of newborn Spring Troupe within three days. Nice! As expected of Director. Tsuzuru So where's Itaru-san? Sakuya He went home to prepare for moving. It seems he will attend the practice from tomorrow. Izumi Then, I'd like us to decide what we will be performing next month. Sakuya Is it all right for us to decide without Itaru-san? Izumi We only have seven weeks left before the debut performance, so if we don't start preparing the script soon, we won't make it in time. Manager Is it possible to use the old script? Izumi That may be a good idea. Sakuya The first generation Spring Troupe's Romeo and Juliet was really interesting! Masumi But we'd probably get compared if we perform the same play. Izumi That'd be kind of hurt... Citron Romeo and Juliet is good. Everyone in my country is crying at the scene where Romeo has to come back to space. Izumi I think that's a totally different story. Tsuzuru Uhh——. Izumi What is it, Tsuzuru-kun? Tsuzuru If possible, I'd like to write the new script... Izumi I see... You originally wanted to be a playwright, right. (But with this group, we need a plenty of time just to get done with the read-through, so we need the script as soon as possible... I understand Tsuzuru-kun's feeling, but...) Manager What if Minagi-kun wrote the script for our next performance instead? Tsuzuru Are you certain that the theatre will still be here for our next performance? Manager Tha-that's... Izumi ... How much time do you need to write the script, Tsuzuru-kun? Tsuzuru I've written some short scripts for studying purposes, but I've never written a script in two hours... Izumi I see... (Will he able to do it if I give him a deadline...? But he still needs to attend practices and improve his skills...) (I think we should just give up using a new script this time...) Tsuzuru One week... Can you give me one week to write the script? If I can't complete it in time, I'll give up. I'll also attend practices. Izumi Tsuzuru-kun... (He looks determined. He really wants to write the script.) Okay, I give you one week. You don't have to attend practice. But be sure to finish the play script by then. Tsuzuru Is.. it really okay? Izumi But if you bring me an incomplete script by that time, I'll get angry. Tsuzuru That's scary... Izumi That's obvious. The future of this theatre company is in your hand. You can't just say "I wanted to write it," for your own satisfaction. Tsuzuru ——roger. Sakuya Good luck, Tsuzuru-kun! Manager Do you already have any ideas in mind? Tsuzuru Ever since I watched the footage of the first generation Spring Troupe's performance, the image of Romeo and Juliet got stuck in my head. I think I'd like to write that story. Citron Nice idea! I'll be the captured alien. Tsuzuru That's not Romeo and Juliet. Masumi Are you going to be the Juliet? Izumi Me!? I won't take part in the play. I'm good being the director. I don't want to stand on stage. (I've already decided it, anyway. I don't want to stand on stage as an actor again. No way. I'm not worthy enough...) Manager MANKAI Company has only had male actors ever since it was founded. So naturally, sometimes the male actors have to play the female roles. Izumi I see. Sakuya So we should choose someone to take the female role as well? Manager I'm not really sure, since the first generation Spring Troupe had an actor who was good at playing female roles... Izumi If any of you take on the female roles, it may look a bit cheap and scary... Tsuzuru Leave that matter to me. Izumi ...Fine. I'll believe in Tsuzuru-kun. Tsuzuru Okay. Izumi Well, we have decided to leave the script to Tsuzuru-kun so that's all for today. Sakuya-kun and Masumi-kun have school tomorrow, right? You can't be late. Masumi I want you to wake me up. Izumi I'm counting on you, Sakuya-kun. Sakuya Got it! Manager Is it really okay to leave the script matter to Minagi-kun, Director? Should I search for the first generation's script too just in case? And we can have everyone use that for the read-through in the meantime... Izumi (It'd be safer that way for sure, but...) There's no need. I'm sure he'll be all right. I believe in Tsuzuru-kun. (Tsuzuru-kun looks confident that he can do it. It's just my intuition, but I want to believe it.

Izumi Chigasaki Itaru-san and Citron-kun have happily joined our troupe today! Citron Let me say it again—let’s get along. Izumi (I’m still not used to Citron-kun’s face without the mask. He’s even more beautiful than I thought; I was surprised.) Manager Oh my! What a spectacular achievement; it’s only been three days since the Reborn Spring Troupe assembled, and we already have five members! Director sure is amazing! Tsuzuru And where is Itaru-san? Sakuya He went home today to get ready to move in. He said he would come to practice starting tomorrow. Izumi Then I’d like to decide on the program for our performance next month. Sakuya Shouldn’t we do that when Itaru-san is around? Izumi We only have seven weeks till the performance, so we need to prepare the script right away or else we won’t make it in time. Manager Can’t we reuse an old script? Izumi That might be a good idea. Sakuya The previous generation’s Romeo and Juliet was really amazing! Masumi If we do the same play, we’ll probably get compared. Izumi That might be a bit rough... Citron Romeo and Juliet is good. Everyone in my country cries when Romeo returns to space. Izumi I think that’s a different story. Tsuzuru Um—. Izumi What is it, Tsuzuru-kun? Tsuzuru If possible, I’d like to write a new script.... Izumi Oh, right... you originally wanted to be a scriptwriter, after all. (But with these members, even reading lines out loud is going to take a lot of time, so we need the script right now... I understand how Tsuzuru-kun feels, but...) Manager How about we use Minagi-kun’s scripts starting next performance? Tsuzuru Do we know that there will be a next performance? Manager Th-that’s... Izumi .... Tsuzuru-kun, how long will it take you to write the script? Tsuzuru I’ve written a number of short scripts, but nothing two hours long... Izumi I see... (Should I have him attempt to write one on a deadline....? But it’s better to have him practice and improve during that time....) (Maybe it’s best for him to give up this time...) Tsuzuru One week... Could you give me just one week? If I can’t finish it by then, I’ll give up. I’ll come to practice too. Izumi Tsuzuru-kun... (He looks serious. He really wants to write the script.) I understand. You don’t have to attend practice for one week. But make sure you finish a full script by then. Tsuzuru Eh... can I really? Izumi If you give me something halfway-done, I’ll be mad. Tsuzuru Scary.... Izumi Of course. The troupe’s life depends on it. Saying “I wanted to write it” isn’t enough—don’t let this be just a selfish desire. Tsuzuru —Yes. Sakuya Good luck, Tsuzuru-kun! Manager Have you decided what kind of story you’re going to write? Tsuzuru Ever since watching the video of the Original Spring Troupe’s performance, I’ve had this image of Romeo and Juliet in my mind, so that’s what I’m gonna go with. Citron Sounds good! I’ll be the captured alien. Tsuzuru That’s not RomiJuli. Masumi So are you going to be Juliet? Izumi Me!? Of course not. I’m the Director. I’m not going to stand on stage anymore. (That’s what I’ve decided. I won’t stand on stage as an actor anymore. I can’t. I don’t have the right to...) Manager MANKAI Company has always been an all-male troupe, ever since it was established. Traditionally, even women’s roles have been played by men. Izumi I see. Sakuya So is somebody going to dress as a woman this time? Manager The Original Spring Troupe had a member known as an onnagata—someone who was good at dressing up and playing female roles, but... Izumi With these members, I’m afraid dressing up as a woman might come off as cheesy; I’m a little scared to do it. Tsuzuru Could you leave that to me? Izumi ...Okay. I’ll trust you, Tsuzuru-kun. Tsuzuru ‘kay. Izumi Then we’ll leave the script to Tsuzuru-kun. That’s all for today. Tomorrow is a weekday, so Sakuya-kun and Masumi-kun have school. Make sure you’re not late. Masumi Wake me up. Izumi Take care of him please, Sakuya-kun. Sakuya Yes! Manager Director, can we really leave the script to Minagi-kun? Should I look for the Original Spring Troupe’s script just in case? Everyone else could start practicing with that script... Izumi (It’s true that that’s the safer option, but...) No. I’m sure’ll be fine. Let’s trust Tsuzuru-kun. (His eyes looked determined; I’m sure he’ll do it. It’s just a feeling, but I want to believe in that feeling.)
