Tsuzuru | And just like that, it’s the day of the festival. |
Itaru | Too bad the sky is cloudy. |
Juza | We can’t really see the moon. |
Hisoka | .... |
Misumi | But there are lots of guests~! |
Izumi | Yeah! Maybe it’s thanks to Kazunari-kun’s flyers. |
Kazunari | I had a lots of fun filling the flyer with rabbits! |
Priest | Thank you very much. Renewing the offertory ceremony also helped bring in more guests—there are more people here today than during previous years. |
Izumi | Looks like we’re set for our troupe’s PR then. |
Chikage | The problem is capturing the rabbit. |
Priest | It made sure to visit and shrewdly eat its meal today, too. It looked like it was doing very well. |
Misumi | I’m glad~. |
Itaru | I’m glad it’s doing well and all, but that means we won’t have any advantages when capturing it. |
Misumi | I’ll seriously act and seriously capture Rabbit-san! |
Chikage | Yeah, do your best. |
Misumi | You too, Chikage~. |
Chikage | I know. |
Juza | But man, even though it’s a festival, it’s not like normal festivals, huh.... |
Tsuzuru | You’re right—there are no food stands like the ones at fairs. A lot of the stores have susuki[1] plants, masks, and rabbit decorations. |
Hisoka | Juza, you look disappointed. |
Itaru | You were looking forward to stuff like candy apples and cotton candy, weren’t you. |
Kazunari | Hyodoru! I bought some rabbit-shaped moon-viewing mochi! |
Juza | ...! |
Tsuzuru | When did you get that!? |
Izumi | Wow, that’s some cute mochi. |
Kazunari | It’s su~per Instegrammable! Alright, lemme snap a pic of the moon-viewing mochi with the festival in the bg.... |
Juza | Omnom. |
Hisoka | Omnom. |
Kazunari | Ah~! Wait, both of you! I haven’t gotten a pic yet! |
Itaru | There are all sorts of rabbit decorations, too. ...Senpai, don’t you want more party members? |
Chikage | Party members? |
Itaru | The guardians of our room. You know, all those rabbit decorations you’ve put up. |
Misumi | Chikage, you’re collecting rabbit goods~? |
Tsuzuru | That’s kinda surprising. |
Misumi | So Chikage likes rabbits, I see~. Let’s play with them together next time! |
Chikage | No, that’s not.... |
Tsuzuru | Oh, we should get ready soon. |
Izumi | You’re right. You should change into your costumes and—huh? |
| (Hisoka-san isn’t here? Where’d he go....) |
Hisoka | .... |
Izumi | Ah, there you are. |
| ? Were you buying an accessory? |
Hisoka | ...Yup. Just because. |
Izumi | (Hisoka-san expressing interest in something other than marshmallows... Is this a harbinger of natural disaster...?) |
Kazunari | Director-chan, Hisohiso, let’s go~! |
Izumi | Ah, ye~s! Hisoka-san, let’s go! |
Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
| |
Tsuzuru | I guess this is good for standing positions. All that’s left is the rabbit capture plan, but.... |
Itaru | We’ll leave the basket in the spot with the best view of the stage. Then we’ll perform the play just like we did during practice. |
Chikage | When the rabbit comes to watch the play and enters the basket, Director-san will close it and lock it. |
Izumi | That’s a lot of responsibility.... I’ll do my best. |
Misumi | I wonder if Rabbit-san is close by~? |
Juza | There are too many audience members to tell. |
Kazunari | We just have to believe it’ll come to the basket and wait. |
Tsuzuru | ...I feel like we’re waiting for a precious guest we’ve invited. |
Hisoka | I know how you feel. |
Misumi | I’m sure it’ll come visit us! Let’s do our best, everyone~! |
Izumi | You’re right. Let’s work hard so both the rabbit and the audience will enjoy the play! |
Chikage | Hm? This is.... |
| Misumi, you dropped your triangular bell again. |
Misumi | Ah~! Thanks! |
| I need to tie it tight so I won’t fall off it again. |
| ...Alright! This way I can beat Rabbit-san in a game of tag. |
Chikage | You’re right. All right, let’s go. |
