Previous	Main Story	Next
Madoka … …Sigh. Masumi You… Madoka ? Masumi .... Madoka Do you need something? (phone buzzes) ….ーーIt’s father. Excuse me. Masumi (...Is this what he’s been writing? A plot?) Madoka ーーYes. ーーI understand. Masumi That guy, as I thought he looks familiar... Madoka Hello, Fatherーー? Kusumi 「This time it seems they’re having a showdown act.」 「 Losing is absolutely unforgivable. They must be expecting the finest quality in the script as well.」 「If we screw this up, this will hurt not only GOD-za, but also my name as a scriptwriter.」 Madoka Yes. Kusumi 「Kamikizaka-san ordered three different plot outlines. I will write one. You write the other two.」 Madoka I understand. Kusumi 「Do not worry. I will do corrections on the plot you will write as well.」 Madoka … (The parts that father corrects would always receive revisions from Kamikizaka-san.) (The workload doubles because of it, so I wish he’d send it as is, but there’s no way I can say something like that…) Kusumi 「I’m going to a consultation meeting with Kamikizaka-san. I’ll tell you more in detail later.」 Madoka Yes. … (Thanks to father, my script gets to be performed by famous theaters like GOD-za. I should be thankful.) (Even if my name will not get one bit of credit.) (But, I wonder if it’s really okay to stay like this? To keep writing in father’s shadow, I…) … (If grandpa was alive, I could have consulted many things to him.) (Because I was told to by my father, I read all of grandpa’s scripts. If I read them when he was alive, I wonder if I could have talked to him more.) Hakkaku What are you reading, Madoka? Madoka ーーgh. U-um, Two Years’ Vacatioーー Misumi Ooーi! Grandpaー! Hakkaku You, climbing up there again, it’s dangerous! Misumi I’m fineー! Hakkaku Geez, what’s with that kid’s reflexes? He's more of a monkey, huh. A monkey. Misumi Grandpa, c’mere c’mere! Hakkaku I’m coming, so wait up! Madoka … Hakkaku If it’s adventure novels then it’s on the far right shelf of the study, so go take a look. Madoka ーー!! Y-yes! (About script, about theater, I wanted to ask a lot of things.) (But, even if he were alive, I might not be able to get close to him. I’ve always been a bit jealous of nii-san who’s always together with him.) (I wonder if father was never taught how to write scripts.) (Father had always been polite towards grandpa, though that’s also made them somewhat distant.) (Even though they're blood related father and son… Well, that aspect isn't too different from nii-san and I.) (I wonder why father took the GOD-za job in the first place.) (If I’m being honest, I can't think of father’s script being good enough to be used regularly by GOD-za.) (He's been taking the job since the time grandpa died 8 years ago. Long before I helped...) (Even back then, he remained obscure as a scriptwriter…) (Grandpa never wrote scripts for GOD-za, so it can’t possibly be a connection from grandpa.) (The ones grandpa wrote for was…) Who is it? Izumi !? Muku Eh!? We haven’t even pressed the bellーー. Madoka I just saw you by chance. Do you have business with us? Izumi Ah, yes! U-umm, My name is Tachibana, current president of MANKAI Company, the theater Hakkaku-san wrote scripts for… Um, we’re looking for Hakkaku-san’s documents, would it be possible to get your cooperation? Madoka (MANKAI Company, the theater nii-san is in… As expected, nii-san has a connection with grandpa.) Misumi Triangle〜 Triangle〜 Triangle over here, triangle over there〜.... Izumi (Misumi-kun, I wonder if he’s folding paper planes again.) (The paper planes are jet black though, they're kind of horrendous.) What are you folding those with? Misumi Hmm〜 Demon’s paper? Izumi !? Homare They’re art exhibition leaflets that I gave him. The art exhibition is sponsored by a publisher I'm affiliated with. It seems the theme is going to be “wicked beauty”. They've primarily collected works that depict demons who corrupt humans. Izumi So that’s why it’s a little scary. Homare Umu. But if you analyze deeper, terror is something tied to beauty. Izumi I see…? (I don’t really understand art, but I guess that’s how it is?) Homare I gave the leaflets to those who might be interested such as Kazunari-kun and Misumi-kun, but unfortunately this time there aren't any works involving triangles. Misumi He said it's fine to make them into paper planes〜 Homare Next time I’ll find you an art exhibit with plenty of triangles. Misumi Yaayー! Homare What about you, Director-kun? They have works from the old masters to modern works, I think it’s interesting to see such a wide range of works being made up until the present day. Izumi (It’s true that if you look closer, it’s not just scary, but also beautiful.) I’m not that familiar with the arts, would that be okay? Homare How people enjoy art is different per person. If you observe art and truly feel that it moves your heart, then that is sufficient enough. Input is also an important thing for someone who expresses themselves. Izumi You’re right. (Come to think of it, recently I’ve been so busy, I haven't been watching plays in Veludo Way.) Veludo Way performs shows everyday? Yukio That’s right. Everyday various troupes perform various plays, from morning till night. Izumi That’s amazing〜 Yukio Back when dad was a student, we used to watch all types of plays from small theaters everyday. Next time you come to play, I’ll take you to watch lots of shows, kay? Izumi Okay! I’m so excited! (I’m lucky to be surrounded by theaters left and right, I gotta watch a lot while I can!)
