Masumi | *Zzz*… *zzz*… |
| *ring* |
Tsuzuru | Oi Masumi, are you sleeping? |
| You got a phone call. |
Masumi | N… noisy… |
| …! It’s grandma. |
| Hello? |
Hatsue | Hello, Masumi? |
Masumi | Yeah. Why the call, grandma? |
Hatsue | Actually, I have some things to do in Japan so I’m planning to return to the country. |
Masumi | So that’s it. |
| Then, can I go over to your house again to visit? |
Hatsue | Of course. |
| Oh right, if it’s alright with you Masumi, |
| Even though it’s the weekend, I wonder if you would accompany me out? |
Masumi | Ok, I got it. I’ll go. |
Hatsue | Thank you. Then, I’ll contact you again. |
| I’m looking forward to being able to see you again. |
Masumi | Yeah, me too. See you then. |
Tsuzuru | That was your grandma? |
Masumi | She has some things to do, so she’s coming back to Japan. |
Tsuzuru | I see. If you’re going to go meet her then take care and take your time. |
Masumi | Yea. |
| |
Sakyo | Everyone’s here, huh. |
| This time, there’s a request for an event stage performance for the “festival of the dead” in the next town over. |
Tenma | Festival of the dead? |
Izumi | The festival of the dead is a festival where you enjoy sharing stories while remembering those who’ve passed away. |
| It’s like making candles or flower bouquets, and then offering them to an altar. |
Sakyo | There are similar events overseas, and it seems those events are being used as the motif here. |
Tasuku | It’s like the Obon festival in Japan, huh. |
Izumi | That’s right, or rather it’s going to become even more lively. |
Kazunari | I think I’ve heard of it before! |
| Hmmm… |
| Video discovery![1] Ayy, here! |
| This has gots to be the overseas event that’s the motif! |
Tenma | Let’s see here… |
| Wah! That skull makeup sure is amazing… |
Taichi | But the costumes are colourful, and super cute! |
Yuki | Ehh, they really are. |
Kumon | Uwah~! It looks ultra fun! |
Izumi | So then, this time for performing the stage, I’d like to receive some cooperation from anyone— |
| Those who might be able to participate are… |
Masumi | …Hey. For that, I want to. |
Itaru | Oh, it’s rare that Masumi’s a candidate. |
Masumi | Shut up. |
Izumi | Thanks, Masumi-kun. |
| If you’re able to participate, then of course I’d welcome you. |
| But, that is true that it’s a bit rare. |
| Is there a particular reason you want to participate? |
Masumi | …It’s because my grandma is coming back to the country. |
Izumi | I see, so that’s why! |
Tenma | Even though she already came before, she’s doing well, huh. |
Taichi | Then if it’s like that, I want Masumi’s grandma to see our play again! |
Tenma | Uh huh. |
| If it’s going to be like that, then I’ll also participate in the stage. |
Taichi | Yes, Yesss! I’ll participate too! |
Yuki | It’d be nice if I could, but I have some plans so it’s probably not possible. |
Izumi | Um, Tenma-kun and Taichi-kun are participating. |
| Then the other members are… |
| |
Sakyo | Those who are participating in the play for the festival of the dead are Usui, Sumeragi, Nanao, as well as Chigasaki, Miyoshi, Tsukioka, Yukishiro, and with me that’s 8 people decided. |
Tsumugi | Yes. |
Azuma | Fufu, I’m looking forward to it. |
Izumi | Alright, let’s do this! |
Itaru | At any rate… are we really doing that sort of makeup? |
Kazunari | That’s Azamin’s thing, ya know! |
Azami | The makeup looks pretty interesting, and I can think about various designs. |
Tenma | Go easy on us… |
