Izumi	Then, this is the budget right.
Sakyo	Yeah.
Sakuya	I'm home!
Masumi	Director, I'm home. My welcome home kiss…
Yuki	Hey, we can't pass so hurry up with it.
Muku	I'm home.
Izumi	Guys, welcome back!
Taichi	I'm home! Wait, aren't there lots of people here!?
Tenma	So when we get home at the same time it becomes this noisy huh…
Banri	Oi, don't stop at the entrance. Move it.
Juza	Aaah?
Yuki	Don't start a fight in such a crowded place.
Tsumugi	I thought it was lively here, so the students are back home huh.
Izumi	Tsumugi-san! Just the person I need. Everyone listen here.
Sakuya	Did something happen?
Izumi	Since we're about to have the second performances, I want to hold a kickoff party for them!
Tsumugi	A kickoff party?
Izumi	To also celebrate the completeness Winter Troupe, I thought we should hold a party so I talked about it with Sakyo-san.
Muku	A party…!
Taichi	You said party, you said food! I want to eat meat! Some big meat!!
Sakyo	Getting excited is fine, but keep it under the budget.
	This kickoff party is for the sake of strengthening our unity as a company. In order to make our motivation toward the next performance blah blah…
Banri	There he goes…
Muku	Er, since it's a party is it okay if we also prepare a cake?
Juza	A cake…
Masumi	I'll cut the cake. Cut it together with you--.
Izumi	Count me out!
Banri	So, each Troupe needs to decide on its role and begin preparations for the party but…
	What about the Autumn Troupe…
Taichi	It must be Omi-kun's sweets right?
Juza	Sweets…
Sakyo	We always make Fushimi work for us see. The budget is secured, so we should just buy food right.
Omi	I don't mind cooking but… seeing the amount it really might be better if we buy some candies.
Taichi	Then, for Autumn Troupe it's Omi-kun's handmade sweets and sweets shopping!
Omi	If that's the case, seems like it would be better if we split into two groups.
Banri	Then, it's going to be one group that helps Omi, and another that goes sweets shopping huh.
Taichi	Juza-san knows a lot about sweets, so isn't it better if you go sweets shopping?
Juza	No, I don't really…
Banri	If Hyodo is going shopping, them I'm helping Omi.
Sakyo	No… Settsu you go shopping with Hyodo.
Banri	Huh!? Why do I gotta go shopping with Hyodo.
Juza	Just what I wanna know.
Sakyo	Fushimi would need to go shopping too right.
	I'm going to ask Sakoda to get the car, but there's going to be lots of baggage, it would be impossible to get inside with big guys like you.
Banri	Even so--.
Sakyo	Still got any complaints?
Banri	….
Juza	….
Banri	Well, let's go with this cupcake.
Juza	…there're so many kinds I can't choose.
Banri	Ah? Just buy whatever.
	We're all guys anyway, for now we should just buy as much as we can.
Juza	….
Banri	Wait, you ignored me again!
	Geez… so you pay attention to nothing but the menu.

Banri	Here, it's our turn.
Juza	….
Employee	Have you decided, sir?
Juza	……aah?
Employee	Eep!
Banri	Like I told you, you're choosing too seriously!
Juza	…sorry.
Banri	Dude… so, you got anything to recommend?
Juza	Seems like the products here are new.
Banri	Gottcha. Then, let's go with this.
	We'll also take the basic products and the popular ones. If we just take a few more from the others it's gonna be enough.
	…alright, this much should be okay.
Juza	….
Banri	Don't eat them.
Juza	…I know. I'm just looking.
Banri	Really now.
Juza	….
Banri	…you're looking too much! Just how much do you want to eat 'em!
Juza	I didn't say anything right.
Banri	I can tell from your glare that you wanna eat them!
Juza	….
Banri	…if you wanna eat them that much, then have a foretaste.
Juza	…is that okay?
Banri	We bought a bunch, so if you eat one they won't notice. Here.
Juza	Then… just one.
Banri	Sure sure, go ahead.
Juza	--it's good.
Banri	Geez… you're too serious when it comes to sweets. The employee got scared too.
Juza	…that's how I look, I can't help it.
Banri	Well, it was terrible in your first audition too, everyone were terrified of you.
Juza	….
	(So far I wasn't afraid, of someone being scared of me--. I thought I got used to being alone a long time ago)
	(But, the real me… was different. I thought if i could become someone else on top of the stage, it would be enough)
Banri	--but then again, now no one is afraid of you, so you can relax.
Juza	…ah?
Banri	--. Like I said, someone like you isn't a big deal!
Juza	(I came to this theater, and finally found it. Something I can boast about--)
	…acting, has changed me.
Banri	….'s that so. Well, next time I don't feel like losing to you in acting at all though.
Juza	That's my line.
Banri	Hmph, say whatever you want.
Juza	…munch munch.
Banri	--hold it right there, just how many did you eat.
Juza	…ah.
Banri	I told you it's just a foretaste! Did you have time to eat this many while we were having this conversation!?
Juza	…it just happened.
Banri	It didn't just happen! You're going to buy the missing sweets with your own money!
Juza	I'm broke.
Banri	Huh!? Wait, don't add more to your debt with eating more!
