| Izumi | (I might've come a little too early....) |
| Banri | .... |
| Juza | .... |
| Izumi | Huh!? |
| Banri | Mornin'. |
| Juza | Hey. |
| Izumi | Good morning! You're both early!? |
| Banri | He woke me up at 5. What are you, an old man? |
| Juza | You’re the one who decided to follow me. |
| Izumi | (Banri-kun is complaining, but he’s doing his warm-up exercises. This is a good sign.) |
| Well then, let's focus on the exchanges between you two today. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Banri | Alrighty~. |
| |
| Izumi | Let’s start with Act 2. |
| Banri | “This is the worst.” |
| Juza | “Don’t come this way.” |
| Banri | “It’s not like I wanna either! Leave me alone, you god of poverty!” |
| Izumi | (They showed no awareness of each other before, but now they’re working in sync.) |
| |
| Banri | “What are we gonna do!? This is your fault!” |
| Juza | “It’s not my responsibility.” |
| Banri | “Are you fucking kidding me? If they find out we lost the goods, they’re gonna kill us!” |
| No, wait, this is better.... |
| “Are you fucking kidding me? If they find out we lost the goods, they’re gonna kill us!” |
| Izumi | You’re right. That's better—you're clearly more hostile, and it'll be a good way to mark the difference with later scenes. |
| Banri | Alright, I'll go with that then. |
| Izumi | (Banri-kun is also starting to face his role differently.) |
| Taichi | Good morning~. |
| Omi | Good morning. |
| Sakyo | ...They’re both early. |
| Omi | Maybe he had a change of heart. |
| Sakyo | Well, let's hope he keeps it up. |
| Omi | You say that, but you're smiling a little. |
| Sakyo | Who are you talking to. |
| Taichi | You're a tsundere! |
| Sakyo | Who are you talking to. |
| Taichi | You kinda sound harsher towards me! |
| Sakyo | This is an example of nuance. Remember it well. |
| Taichi | Thanks for the lesson....! |
| Omi | Alright, I guess we have to try our best too, so we won’t lose. |
| Taichi | Yeah! |
| Izumi | (I’m glad... Banri-kun's transformation is definitely changing Akigumi as a whole.) |
| |
| That should be enough for morning practice. Let’s go eat—. |
| Yuki | Working hard? |
| Izumi | Huh, Yuki-kun? |
| Yuki | The outfits are done, so try them on. |
| Izumi | Already!? That was fast!? |
| Yuki | I arranged existing clothes this time, so they were done pretty far ahead of schedule. |
| Izumi | Woah~ they look so cool! |
| Omi | They look really different. |
| Izumi | Yup, yup. There’s a bit of a retro but also original taste.... |
| Yuki | I had to arrange them so they’d shine on the stage, after all. |
| |
| Banri | ....Huh~, this is pretty nice. |
| Juza | The fit is perfect. |
| Yuki | Line up over here, Neo Yankee and Template Yankee. |
| Banri | Neo? |
| Juza | Template....? |
| Yuki | The yankee duo needs to look well-balanced next to each other. |
| ...So-so, I guess. I'll make a couple more adjustments, though. |
| Izumi | When you line up like that, you seem even more buddy-like; it’s cool! |
| Yuki | Now, where's Mom... |
| Omi | Are referring to me? |
| Yuki | Don’t worry. Your momishness has been erased by your outfit. |
| Omi | I-I see. That’s good. |
| Banri | Wow, you rea~lly look like a bad guy. Like an evil cop, you know? |
| Juza | I'm surprised. |
| Omi | Haha. Well, I'll take it as a compliment. |
| Sakyo | My outfit fits fine too. |
| Yuki | As expected, the money-grubber-Yakuza isn’t so different from usual.... |
| Izumi | Yeah... |
| Banri | Yeah. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Omi | Yeah... |
| Sakyo | Shut up! Stop yeah-yeah-ing me! |
| Taichi | .... |
| Yuki | Where's stupid doggie? |
| Taichi | .... |
| Izumi | Taichi-kun? |
| Taichi | Huh!? Aaaah, I'll change too! |
| Izumi | Is something wrong? |
| Taichi | It’s nothing! I was just thinking everyone looks so cool! Yuki-chan is amazing! |
| Yuki | Whatever. Just change. |
| Izumi | Huh? What's this box? |
| Yuki | Ah, that's—. |
| Sakoda | Aniki! Rurikawa-neesan! I’ve got the goods! |
| Omi | Did he just openly admit to smuggling..... |
| Sakoda | Please take a look! They're all first-class quality! |
| Izumi | Pistols....!? |
| Omi | Wait, isn't this actually a serious problem. |
| Yuki | Zako-ta[1]. Don't be misleading. These are props. |
| Izumi | Ah, I see! |
| Banri | Wow, they're well made. |
| Juza | They fit comfortably in my hand, too. |
| Izumi | The pistols really suit those outfits. |
| Banri | But man, now we totally look like a bunch of criminals. |
| Izumi | It’s true.... |
| Omi | Haha, we’re terrifying, aren’t we. |
| Izumi | Omi-kun, when you smile gently in that outfit with a pistol in hand, it's kinda scary...... |
| Are there props in this box too? |
| Sakoda | No, that's—this! |
| Izumi | A yo-yo....? |
| Yuki | I didn’t ask you to get this. |
| Sakoda | It was on sale on the same website as the toy guns. I just felt so nostalgic that—click! |
| Sakyo | Don't waste our money! |
| Sakoda | Ow—! |
| Sakyo | This is getting deducted from your salary. |
| Sakoda | Aniki~ please spare me....! |
| Banri | Ultra yo-yos used to be super popular, remember? |
| Juza | Brings back memories. |
| Taichi | Ah! I'm actually really good at this! |
| —There! |
| Izumi | Wow...! |
| Sakyo | Huh. |
| Juza | Don’t know if I can dodge that..... |
| Omi | No, it isn't a weapon, so you don't have to. |
| Juza | Alright. |
| Sakyo | There used to be a drama like that, though. |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san, none of the younger ones will know what you're talking about! |
| Sakyo | What....!? |
| Omi | But wow, you're skilled. |
| Taichi | Yeah, cuz I practiced sooo hard! |
| Banri | Huh~. Lemme give it a go. |
| I see... like this, huh. |
| ...There. |
| Izumi | Wow, amazing! |
| Yuki | That’s just like Mr. High-spec. |
| Sakyo | You really are skilfull. |
| Banri | Well, yeah. |
| Taichi | ...... |
| Omi | Taichi? |
| Taichi | Darn, as expected, I can't beat Ban-chan! How hard do you think I practiced~! |
| Banri | Look, I can’t help it. I’m just good at everything. |
| Taichi | Rude! |
| Izumi | (It feels like Taichi-kun has been acting weird for a while. I wonder if it’s just my imagination...) |
| Omi | All of these cardboard boxes are going to get in the way. Let’s put this one away. |
| Sakyo | You’re right. |
| Izumi | We should recycle the cardboard. I'll throw out the bubble wrap. |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san? |
| Sakyo | ..... |
| Izumi | (He's pulling on it really hard, but why...) |
| Sakyo | ....Do you intend to deprive me of my entertainment. I only get to do this a few times a year. |
| Izumi | Do you like bubble wrap.....? |
| Sakyo | ....... |
| Izumi | (C-cute.....!) |
| Sakyo | Try saying what’s on your mind right now. I'll kill you. |
| Izumi | ——. |
| Please accept this humble offering of bubble wrap. |
| Sakyo | ...Good. |
| |
| Manager | Eeeeeeeek!! |
| Izumi | Wh-what's wrong? |
| Omi | Manager, you sure are energetic first thing in the morning. |
| Juza | ....My ears hurt. |
| Manager | Th-th-th-this!! |
| Izumi | A letter...? |
| Banri | Isn't this the same threatening letter as before? |
| Juza | “No more warnings. From here on out, there will be action.” |
| Izumi | ——. |
| Banri | A declaration of war, huh. |
| Juza | ...They’re messing around with us. |
| Omi | This feels like it’ll be bad... |
| Izumi | (There will be action... what does that mean?) |
