| Sakoda | Good morni~ng! This is from the chairman! |
| Banri | Woah. These are special lunch boxes from a high-class restaurant. |
| Taichi | The chairman is amazing! |
| Omi | There’s anmitsu from a famous wagashi[1] store, too. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Sakyo | Hey, leave that for later! |
| Izumi | Now now. We should take this chance to enjoy a short break. |
| |
| Izumi | It’s delicious! |
| Banri | Bless the chairman-sama. |
| Omi | The stock flavor in this is really good... kombu... no, that’s not the only thing. |
| Juza | ...Omnom. |
| Azami | You’re eating the anmitsu first? |
| Izumi | Sakoda-san, please thank the chairman for us. |
| Sakoda | Of course! |
| Sakyo | How’s the chairman doing? |
| Sakoda | Man, he was on edge the whole time Azami was running away from home, but he’s softened up sooo much lately.... |
| He’s really looking forward to the performance—crossing out every day on the calendar. |
| Sakyo | He’s a doting parent, alright.... |
| But he really has gotten a lot softer. Back then, I couldn’t have imagined standing up to the chairman and not getting punished. |
| I was sure you'd be in the hospital for at least a month for yelling at the chairman like that, but.... |
| Sakoda | Heheh, I barely escaped death. |
| Sakyo | Geez, you’ve gotten so cheeky. |
| Sakoda | Maybe I got it from you, aniki. |
| Sakyo | Don’t get too cocky. |
| ...But it wouldn’t be a surprise if we were similar. You and I were both picked up off the streets, after all. |
| Sakoda | ...Yes. I still can’t thank you enough for taking me in back then—back when I was hopelessly troubled and frustrated, aniki. |
| Sakyo | You were tossed into the garbage heap like an old rag—why did I reach out to you? I ended up causing myself so much trouble.... |
| Sakoda | Hey, that’s rude, aniki! |
| Sakyo | ...I never imagined that that piece of oversized garbage might carry Ginsenkai on his back one day.... |
| Sakoda | Oversized garbage? I threw away mine on Friday, just like the chairman told me to! |
| Sakyo | ...Sigh. Chairman, are you sure you’re okay with this guy? |
| |
| Izumi | (It’s finally the first day of the performance... It seems like Azami-kun doesn’t get very nervous, so I guess I don’t have to worry about him.) |
| Azami | .... |
| Banri | Are you nervous? |
| Azami | Not at all. |
| Juza | Are you ready? |
| Azami | Totally. |
| Sakyo | You left a clip in your hair. |
| Azami | ——. |
| Taichi | And a pack on my face! |
| Azami | Ah, my bad.... |
| Banri | Hey, are you sure you’re fine? |
| Izumi | (I’m very worried...!) |
| Misumi | Excuse us~! |
| Yuki | Nice work. |
| Kazunari | Otsupico~! |
| Muku | We brought you something. Here, cookies. |
| Omi | They look delicious. |
| Taichi | Thanks! |
| Juza | ...Omnom. |
| Tenma | Are you nervous, Azami? |
| Azami | Not at all. |
| Banri | Why are you playing it off after making all those blunders? |
| Yuki | Kumon, why don’t you give him a word of advice as a more experienced lead? |
| Kumon | Advice? Umm, ummm... don’t freak out! Just be yourself, Azami! |
| Azami | What? Like you can talk—you were freaking out the entire time. |
| Tenma | True. |
| |
| Azami | .... |
| Banri | Give us a word to start off our first day, leader. |
| Azami | Huh? What’s that? |
| Omi | The lead always says something. |
| Juza | He’s also responsible for the cheer. |
| Taichi | Give us one that’ll pump us up! |
| Azami | .... |
| Well then. Make sure you get serious—or else this new guy’s gonna steal all of Autumn Troupe’s fans. |
| Banri | Man, you never stop being cheeky, huh. |
| Omi | We’ve got a big shot here. |
| Sakyo | ...Don’t tell me he got this from me, too. |
| Azami | —Let’s go, Autumn Troupe! |
| Juza | Yeah! |
| Taichi | Yeah~! |
