|
| Chikage | (Unfortunately I had to turn down Citron’s invitation, but I should be heading back to the dorm now.) |
 |
|
| Izumi | Huh? Hey Chikage! |
| Chikage | Director. Where are you headed? |
| Izumi | Actually I just heard from one of the neighbors that the community orchestra is going to be having a mini concert outside the station. |
| I think it would be great research for our upcoming performance so I am going to check it out. | |
| Chikage | Really, we have a community orchestra? |
| Izumi | So it seems. Hey would you be interested in going with me? |
| I know you don’t have any performance scenes, but you do play a violin teacher! | |
| Chikage | Alright, just to watch. |
| Izumi | Huh? It’s almost time for the concert to start but.... I don’t think everyone is ready. |
| Chikage | Everyone seems to be rushing about. |
| Man | Ah! Miss Izumi! |
| Izumi | Hm, |
| I see everyone seems to be rushing around.... Is something wrong? | |
| Community Leader | Uh, well yes! Is there anyone from your theatre troupe that can play the violin!? |
| Izumi | What? |

| Community Leader | Well it’s just our violin player suddenly fell ill and couldn’t make it. We have another violinist coming instead but-- |
| It seems like they won’t get here before the concert starts but we really can’t delay any longer... | |
| Izumi | Well we do have someone who can play violin in the troupe but.... |
| Chikage | Citron is currently hanging out with Misumi where Misumi works part time so he is not in the dorm at the moment. |
| Izumi | Oh is he!? |
| Chikage | But if there is no solo part, then what is the problem? If it is just one person... |
| Community Leader | The thing is we just barely have enough people as it is, so missing any more would just... |
| Izumi | (I don’t know what to do, I wish there was some way I could help....) |
| Um, Chikage would-- | |
| Chikage | Pass. |
| Izumi | That was quick..! |
| Chikage | You were gonna ask me, right? |
| Izumi | Well.... I don’t really know but... I just kinda thought you were the guy who could do anything. |
| Chikage | I am no magician. |
| Izumi | True... |
| What about-- Oh the manager is helping Yuzo right now, that’s right. Hmm, I am trying to think of anyone I know who could play the violin.... Uhhhh-- | |
| Chikage | .... Hm. You are quite the kind person. |
| Izumi | What was that, Chikage? |
| Chikage | Leader, what are you willing to offer? I mean, if there is no reward then, well. |
| Community Leader | Huh, reward? Well we didn’t really get that much to start with... |
| Chikage | Then how about you let us promote our troupe? We will distribute flyers to promote our upcoming performance. |
| Community Leader | Oh, that’s easy, of course! |
| Chikage | Successful negotiation. |
| Director, please let me quickly go get the flyers from the dorm. | |
| Izumi | A-Alright! |
| (Chikage came back quickly with the flyers, but I wonder if we really have enough.) | |
| (At any rate, it seems like he knows what he’s doing... What the hell is that boy gonna do?) | |
| (Oh, the concert is starting right on time---) | |
| I’m so glad, w-wait what, Chikage!? | |
| Chikage | ♪~ ♪~ |
| Izumi | (Wait, he is really up there with the rest of the orchestra, and with such a nonchalant look on his face....! What the hell, he is playing for real...!?) |
| Substitute Violinist | Haah... Haan... S-Sorry for making you wait..! |
| Community Leader | Great! We just finished up the first song. |
| Chikage | .... Excuse me for just stepping in for just one song. I am an actor from Mankai Company. |
| Spring Troupe’s Sixth Play is a story that takes place in a music school and-- | |
| Izumi | (Ahh, yes I gotta hand out the flyers...!) |
| Here is our flyer for the play, ‘Harugaoka Quartet’. | |
| Please come, thank you so much! | |

| Wow, I was pretty surprised. You should have told me that you could play violin! | |
| Chikage | It has been quite a while since I last touched an instrument so I did not think I could confidently say that I was able to play. |
| However, recently I have been watching everyone hard at practice so I decided to give it a try. I am glad I knew that one song. | |
| Izumi | No no, I didn’t sense any awkwardness. Have you taken lessons before? |
| Chikage | Well a while back I knew a violinist from a certain famous orchestra. |
| During his free time during his own practice, he would tutor me..... How nostalgic. | |
| Izumi | Wow, that’s really.... |
| Chikage | --- I was kidding. |
| Izumi | WHAT!? |
| Chikage | Ehh... Well I learned a little a long time ago. For work. |
| Izumi | (That is totally not something people normally do for work...) |
| That aside, how did you really learn? | |
| Chikage. Secret. | |
| Right. | |
| (And thus the enigma that is Chikage continues to baffle me more and more....) | |
