MatsukawaHmm Hmm Hmm〜 Cleaning up cleaning up, how fun〜
IzumiAh, the wax there isn’t dry yet so please be careful.
MatsukawaWawawahhー!
IzumiAre you okay!?
(Just as I said it he slipped and fell…!)
YuzoOh, there you are.
SakyoWhat the hell are you doing, Matsukawa…
MatsukawaOw owie… Huh, Yuzo-san, is something up?
YuzoHere, a souvenir from a local performance.
MatsukawaAh! Yatsuhashi! Thank you very much!
YuzoThat, and I have something to ask the director.
Izumi?
YuzoI’m going to have a magazine interview after this, is it okay if they advertise this troupe?
IzumiEh!? Advertising MANKAI Company!?
YuzoOur troupe is the special feature but, in the questionnaire I received, there was a question that reads “Are there any other troupes that personally got your attention?”
IzumiOf course, it would be a big honour!
MatsukawaPlease do advertise away for us!
SakyoIt’s better if you think twice first.
IzumiEh?
SakyoGiving permission means you’re letting him say whatever he wants. If the old man says something false…
YuzoAs usual you don’t close your mouth don’t you, boy?
SakyoーーOw! Don’t rub my head!
Izumi(The only one who can act this carefree around Sakyo-san is Yuzo-san.)
MatsukawaBy the way, what’s the name of the magazine?
YuzoDo you know of ‘Spotlight’?
Matsukawa‘Spotlight’!? Isn’t that a famous theater magazine!?
IzumiOf course, I know of it!
(It introduces many troupes from Veludo Way, and it’s good for reference, so it’s a magazine everyone reads)
YuzoI’ll strongly advertise your troupe.
IzumiPlease do!
SakyoI wonder…
YuzoSpeaking of, do you remember that Juliet kid?
SakyoーーWell, of course I remember.
YuzoIt’s been a while, but we might be meeting each other today.
SakyoーーI see. Spotlight’s chief editor is…
YuzoIf we meet, I’ll tell them that the boy from back then is doing well, and that it's about time for them to show their face to MANKAI Company.
Izumi(I wonder who 'that Juliet kid' could be referring to…?)
MatsukawaCould you be talking about, Hinamori-san!?
IzumiHinamori-san?
MatsukawaThe first generation’s spring troupe leader!
Come on, didn’t we watch the video! The one who played Juliet on the first generation’s Romeo and Juliet play.
Izumi(The play we saw during the spring troupe’s Romijuli play…)
Aah! That person who was really good at female-roles…!?
MatsukawaThat’s the one!
SakyoIs Kasumi-san doing well?
YuzoHe seems busy, so we haven't been in contact. Geez, so much for a childhood friend.
Izumi(They were childhood friends with Yuzo-san, I didn’t know.)
Please tell them to not hold back and come over to play anytime.
YuzoYeah.
Izumi(Right, That Kasumi-san stood together with Yuzo-san on MANKAI Company’s stage.)
Ah! Speaking of! Sakyo-san, the subject we were going to ask Yuzo-san about the maintenance from the other day, have you asked him?
SakyoRight, we said we’d ask him next time we meet him.
YuzoMaintenance?
MatsukawaThe other day when we had a contractor do maintenance, they praised our facility.
They said it was built to last being used for a long time.
YuzoI see…
IzumiFrom the first generation’s members, was someone good in that field?
YuzoYeah… Well, that might be true.
ーーSorry, it’s about time to go. See you next time.
IzumiAh, take care!
MatsukawaFor even Yuzo-san to not know… I wonder who it was.
ReporterThen, shall we move on to the questions for this time?
YuzoWe still have many places to improve on, but we’re intending to advance steadily one step at a time in preparation of the Fleur Award.
ReporterThank you very much. Next, I’d like to interview the man of theater Yuzo Kashima as an individual.
Recently, have there been any troupes that caught your attention?
YuzoThat would be MANKAI Company. It’s a troupe I used to be affiliated to long ago, but it disbanded.
From there they picked it up again and looked for new troupe members, and now they’re working hard as the new MANKAI Company.
Sometimes I look after them. The screenwriter working for the troupe is still young yet promising.
If they keep growing like this... They might just match the first generation’s.
ReporterDo you mean… to Ikaruga Hakkaku-san?
YuzoWe still don’t know, though.
ReporterIs this a second coming of the legendary script writer who left many of his masterpieces in MANKAI Company and suddenly vanished from the spotlight?
Now this is something we can’t miss.
YuzoThey're also doing repeat performances locally, so please check them out once.
ReporterYes, I will.
With that, the interview is over. Thank you very much.
YuzoWhat happened to the chief editor?
ReporterAh… Um, today he has other matters to attend to.
YuzoSigh…. Tell him to at least show his face to me.
ReporterAlright.

ManagerDum-dee-dum-dah-dah, cleaning, oh cleaning is so fun~♪
IzumiAh, the floor is still wet. Please be careful.
ManagerWhoaaa!
IzumiAre you all right!?
(He slipped and fell right after I warned him…!)
YuzoOh, so you're here.
SakyoThe hell are ya doin', Matsukawa…
ManagerOuch ouch… Huh? Yuzo-san, what brings you here?
YuzoI've brought some souvenirs from my regional tours. Here ya go.
ManagerWhoa, it's Yatsuhashi [1]…! Thank you!
YuzoAnd there's something I wanna ask you, general director.
Izumi?
YuzoI'll have a magazine interview after this. Can I promote this theater troupe?
IzumiEh!? Do you mean… promoting this MANKAI Company!?
YuzoMy theater troupe is gonna be featured on that magazine's next issue, and one of the questions I got is, "Is there any theater troupe that you personally pay attention to?"
IzumiYou're more than welcome to do that!
ManagerPlease keep promoting us!
SakyoYou better think it over.
IzumiEh?
SakyoBy giving him permission, that means you're letting him say whatever he wants. What if this old man spreads everything regardless of whether it's true or not…
YuzoI see this brat still can't keep his mouth shut, huh.
Sakyo--Ouch! Take your hands away from my head!
Izumi(Yuzo-san is probably the only one who can be this carefree around Sakyo-san)
ManagerBy the way, what magazine is it?
YuzoDo you know "Spotlight"?
Manager"Spotlight"!? Isn't that a popular theater magazine!?
IzumiThere's no way we don't know about it!
(That magazine introduces a lot of theater troupes in the Veludo Way. It's a very helpful magazine, so we all read it.)
YuzoI'll make sure to promote y'all.
IzumiPlease, and thank you!
SakyoI still ain't sure about this.
YuzoOh yeah, do you still remember the Juliet kid?
Sakyo--Well, yeah.
YuzoI may meet him again after a long time today.
Sakyo--Oh, right. The editor-in-chief of "Spotlight" is…
YuzoIf we meet, I'm gonna tell him the brat from that time is doing well and that he should drop by MANKAI Theater.
Izumi(Who is this Juliet kid they're talking about...?)
ManagerAre you perhaps talking about Hinamori-san!?
IzumiHinamori-san?
ManagerHe's the first Spring Troupe's leader!
You've seen him in that video before! He played Juliet in the first Spring Troupe's "RomiJuli".
Izumi(The "RomiJuli" video we watched during Spring Troupe's debut play--)
Aaaah! Is it the one who's good at playing female roles…!?
ManagerThat's right!
SakyoHow's Kasumi-san doing?
YuzoHe's been busy, so we haven't gotten the chance to meet again. Good grief, so much for a childhood friend.
Izumi(I didn't know Yuzo-san and him are childhood friends.)
Please tell him to come and visit us anytime he wants.
YuzoSure.
Izumi(Come to think of it, both Kasumi-san and Yuzo-san have stood on this theater stage before…)
Oh, yeah! Sakyo-san, have you asked Yuzo-san the things we talked about before? The one we discussed after the maintenance.
SakyoOh, right, you did mention you're gonna ask him.
YuzoMaintenance?
ManagerThe contractors who did the maintenance for our theater praised the construction of the building.
They said the person who designed the building must have put a lot of thought into the design so that it could still be used in the long run.
YuzoOoh…
IzumiIt made us wonder if there's any OG member who is familiar with this field.
YuzoHmm… well, there might be one.
--My bad, I need to go. See ya later.
IzumiAh, see you later!
ManagerSo Yuzo-san also had no clue… I wonder who on earth this person is…
ReporterNext, what are your plans for the future?
YuzoThough we're still far from good, we plan to move forward slowly but surely and aim for the Fleur Award.
ReporterThank you. We're going to conduct an individual interview with Yuzo Kashima-san now.
Is there any theater troupe that you pay attention to lately?
YuzoIt's MANKAI Company. It's a theater troupe that I was affiliated with, but we disbanded after some time.
They have gone through some member changes and are currently working hard as the newborn MANKAI Company.
I look after them from time to time. They even have a promising young scriptwriter there.
If he continues to improve… he may be just as good as the first gen's scriptwriter, or even better.
ReporterBy first gen's scriptwriter, you mean… that Hakkaku Ikaruga-san?
YuzoYeah, but we still don't know yet.
ReporterDoes this mean we're going to witness the birth of another legendary scriptwriter? The previous playwright suddenly disappeared from the center stage after leaving behind many masterpieces at MANKAI Company.
We certainly cannot overlook this.
YuzoThey're currently holding repeat performances for their regional tours; you should totally try checking them out.
ReporterSure.
That concludes our interview. Thank you.
YuzoI thought the editor-in-chief would be here. What happened?
ReporterAh… Umm, he has to take care of another matter today.
Yuzo*sighs*... Tell him to meet me at the very least.
ReporterYes.
