| Masumi | So look over here, and… there it disappears. |
| Chikage | Right, you’re good. |
| As expected, you really have a dexterous hand. |
| Masumi | Everyone can do this much. |
| Chikage | If you tell that to Chigasaki, he’ll get angry at you. |
| But you have quite a repertoire of magic tricks now, don’t you think it’s time to try putting on a formal show? |
| Masumi | I’ll only put on a show for Director… |
| Chikage | If it’s for that purpose, then you might need to polish the magic tricks even further… |
| Misdirection technique might be effective, it’s a necessary trick to get Director-san to enjoy it. |
| Masumi | … |
| Chikage | Memo? |
| You wrote on that memo sometimes, what have you actually been writing? |
| Masumi | It’s a note on how to grab hold of Director’s love. |
 |
| Chikage | Vol.26 huh… |
| Masumi | It’s the 26th one. |
| Chikage | As usual, your dedication towards Director-san is amazing… |
| Masumi | I’ll do anything to be able to become her ideal man. |
| Chikage | Anything, huh… to have such a passionate love for something, I wonder what kind of feeling it would be. |
| Masumi | You want to know? |
| Chikage | I’ll refrain if we’re talking about love stories. |
| Masumi | You won’t understand anyway, so I won’t start. |
| Chikage | Haha. Even Masumi, are you going to treat me like a man with no romance? |
| Izumi | Ah, the two of you, can I have a bit of your time? |
| Masumi | – |
| Chikage | Right when we’re talking about it, right. |
| Masumi | What happened? |
| Izumi | There’s something I need to talk to you about. |
| <Shifts to Living Room> |
 |
| Tsuzuru | What are we talking about? |
| Izumi | I just had a talk with Sakyo-san and the manager… |
| There are a lot of attention on the troupe now because of GOD-za’s and 1st generation’s act-off, as well as the all-out performance on “Spotlight”. |
| Citron | Oh, it’s crawling through the tension! |
| Masumi | Boiling. |
| Itaru | There’re really a lot of GOD-za’s fans and the 1st generation fans when you pay closer attention. |
| Sakuya | Even for “Spotlight” as the special feature, I was so nervous at first but I’m glad that it seemed popular out there! |
| Chikage | It’s all thanks to Kasumi-san’s editing skill. |
| Izumi | From then, I have received a lot of inquiries regarding our local performances… Then from this, I thought we should go for an attack instead. |
| In order to realize the value of Mankai entrusted by the 1st generation, we should aim to level up and improve the popularity of the theatre company while improving the performance level of each individual. |
| Tsuzuru-kun will also take steps to further improve on his ability to write for our performances… |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. In order to be able to match the stories that Hakkaku-san made, as expected I still need a lot more experience. |
| Izumi | That’s why, while still working on our local performances, I would like to plan for new performances that would highlight the strength of each troupe. |
| It’s exactly because we received a lot of attention now, shouldn’t we use this chance to redefine the strength of each group? |
| Sakuya | I want to do it!! |
| Citron | I’m pretty sure there’re a lot of fans out there who’re still waiting for us! |
| Masumi | I think it’s a good idea. |
| Itaru | Why not? |
| It might be a good change to all the Mixed Plays we’ve been doing as well. |
| Chikage | I agree as well. |
| We’ve only done one lap of ‘lead’ for Spring Troupe performances after all. |
| Tsuzuru | You’re right. |
| Izumi | Is there anyone here interested to take the ‘lead’ role this time? |
| Masumi | I want to do it. |
| Izumi | That’s fast. |
| Masumi | I’ll do anything to rekindle your love. |
| Tsuzuru | There’s nothing to rekindle over there. |
| Itaru | So there’s a motive for some returns. |
| Chikage | Your character’s too consistent. |
| Masumi | Not only the Spring Troupe performances, I have taken many roles even in Mixed Play and act-off. The me right now would be able to shine brighter as a ‘lead’ compared to my time during Alice. |
| As the chairman, I think I would be able to put on a much better performance than that time, and I want to show it to you. |
| Izumi | I see… |
| (Alice was only our second performance for the Spring Troupe and everyone had very little experience back then. Since then, everyone has accumulated a lot of experience. |
| The bond among the members has also deepened, we might be able to make a performance that portrays Masumi-kun much better now.) |
| Chikage | I see. |
| Masumi | As the chairman, huh. |
| Sakuya | I think the Masumi-kun right now will be able to do it! |
| I’ll also support you! |
| Citron | I also a breeze! |
| Tsuzuru | Agree you mean. |
| Well, I think it’s good for Masumi to be the ‘lead’. |
| Izumi | Alright, then, it’s decided that Masumi-kun will be the lead! |
| Masumi | I’ll do my best. |
