Izumi | (We’re finally at the second last performance…) |
| (The final performance will have to take place at GOD-za’s theatre because of the showdown, so this will be the last time we’ll perform this play here at the Mankai theatre…) |
| Today is the last day we’re doing this show at our homebase. Let’s put our all into it! |
Tasuku | Yeah. |
Azuma | Tomorrow is the showdown after all. This is probably the last time we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves earnestly. |
Homare | It is a little saddening. |
Hisoka | …Let’s enjoy it. |
Tsumugi | … |
Izumi | Tsumugi-san? |
Tsumugi | Director, for today, can I change up my acting a little bit? |
Izumi | Huh? |
Tsumugi | I just want to improve my acting… |
Izumi | That’s fine with me… but in what way are you thinking of changing it? |
Tsumugi | …Can you entrust it to me? |
Izumi | …Okay. |
Tsumugi | … |
Izumi | (I don’t think there should be any problem if it’s Tsumugi-san… But I’m a bit worried about that brooding look he’s making.) |
| |
Izumi | (I wonder how Tsumugi-san is planning to change things up…) |
| |
Michael | “Raphael, you’re worried about me, aren’t you?” |
Raphael | “Falling in love with a human only causes sorrow. I know that for a fact.” |
Michael | “That’s fine with me. Even if it makes me miserable, I want to make her happy.” |
Izumi | (…Huh!?) |
Michael | “I can descend on the human world?” |
| “Thank you, Metatron.” |
Izumi | (Is this really Tsumugi-san…? He’s acting like how Tasuku-san did back at the beginning…) |
| (No, this is nothing but a cheap mimicry of Tasuku-san. Tsumugi-san, why this kind of acting…?) |
| (Is this what he meant when he said that he wanted to improve his acting? But rather than improving it, this is making it worse—) |
| |
Izumi | … |
| (The audience are applauding, but compared to our other performances so far, this was superficial and low quality…) |
Tasuku | Tsumugi, why’d you have to do something like that…! |
Tsumugi | I don’t even know the answer to that myself…! |
Izumi | Tsumugi-san— |
Tasuku | Damn it… |
Homare | Frankly speaking, I do not think that we can beat GOD-za with a performance like that. |
Azuma | I don’t think so either. |
Hisoka | …Yeah. |
Izumi | …I’m sure that Tsumugi-san knows that himself. Let’s move on and switch gears for the final performance tomorrow. |
Tasuku | … |
| |
Izumi | (I wonder if the entire stage set has been carried out…) |
| (It’s tough having to bring all that to GOD-za’s theatre by tomorrow.) |
| (All that’s left to do is go through a final check of tomorrow’s performance with everyone… but I wonder if Tsumugi-san is okay.) |
Tasuku | Director. |
Izumi | Oh, Tasuku-san. Were you able to talk with Tsumugi-san? |
Tasuku | No… |
Izumi | You have to talk to him… With the way he is right now, Tsumugi-san won’t be able to act suitably for the final performance tomorrow. |
Tasuku | I can’t be the one to talk to him. I’ll definitely end up driving him to a corner again. |
Izumi | Again? |
Tasuku | …It was the same back then too. |
| When we auditioned for GOD-za, I knew that Tsumugi was acting strangely. And yet I couldn’t say anything. |
| I was the only one that passed, so even if I said anything it would’ve sounded like I was bragging; so I couldn’t talk to him. |
| And just like that, Tsumugi quit acting. I really regretted not being able to talk to him. |
| But I turned my eyes away from that regret, and did nothing but condemn Tsumugi for quitting acting instead… |
Izumi | (Tasuku-san… he’s been thinking that way all this time.) |
| If you already regretted your actions once, then you shouldn’t repeat those actions again. |
Tasuku | ―― |
Izumi | You may have not been able to speak with Tsumugi-san back then, but you can speak with him now. |
| Please do so you won’t have any more regrets. |
Tasuku | —I’ll go. |
Izumi | By all means. |
