| Izumi | (I wonder where Tenma-kun is right now. He must be hungry.) |
| Tenma | ..... |
| Izumi | Ah, there he is. |
| Tenma | .....What? |
| Izumi | Here, curry. It tastes miraculously good, see. Everyone has already eaten. |
| Tenma | I don't want it. |
| --tch. |
| Izumi | There are no convenience store or restaurant around here, you know? You won't last tomorrow's practice if you don't eat. |
| Tenma | .... |

| Izumi | (Ah, he ate it. I'm glad.) |
| Tenma | ....Delicious. |
| Izumi | I know, right? Everyone liked it too! Yuki-kun ended up calling me curry spices alien, though... |
| Tenma | Why are you happy about that? |
| Izumi | Say, Tenma-kun, will join us for dinner tomorrow? |
| Tenma | .... |
| Izumi | Tenma-kun, you know that as a leader, you have to look after the members well, right? |
| You don't have to use harsh words to make them understand their characters.
During today's practice, you pointed out their mistakes nicely, right? And everyone listened to Tenma-kun. |
| Thanks to that, they understand their characters a little bit better. Don't you think they are improving? |
| Tenma | ....They still have a long way to go. Rurikawa is weak at long lines. |
| Izumi | (I think so too.) |
| Tenma | ....But he has great movements. I know by just looking that he'll shine on stage. |
| Izumi | Yeah. |
| (He even knows Yuki-kun's good points.) |
| Tenma | Miyoshi is.. I'm not sure if this a good thing or a bad thing. He's good at adapting himself, but he's timid. |
| But you can pair him up with anyone, he's flexible, after all. |
| Izumi | Yes, yes. |
| Tenma | And even though Sakisaka has a poor skill, he's a hard worker. He's really trying his best for this play. |
| I'm sure he'll improve once he solves his confidence issue. |
| Ikaruga has the ability. If he's serious, I'm sure he'll be as good as me. |
| But I can't do anything about that stupid attitude of his. |
| Izumi | Fufu. |
| Tenma | What is it? |
| Izumi | I realized that choosing Tenma-kun as the leader is a good thing. |
| Tenma | Tch. |
| Izumi | You should apologize to everyone tomorrow. |
| And then, you better tell them their weaknesses as well as their strengths. |
| Tenma-kun is basically the most senior one here, after all, you can do at least that much, can't you? |
| Tenma | Who do you think I am? |
| ...Someday, I'm going to notch all the lead actor awards all around the world. Giving acting guidance is nothing. |
| Izumi | (He's so simple...!) |
| Ahaha, you're right. |
| Tenma | Don't laugh! |
| Izumi | Sorry, sorry. I'm counting on you, leader. |
| Tenma | It can't be helped. |
| Izumi | (I shall believe in Tenma-kun and leave things to him.) |
| (If I leave the teaching part to Tenma-kun, I may be able to do something else.) |
| (This is different from Spring Troupe's rehearsal... I also have to grow as a director.) |
