| Izumi | All right, we'll start from Act 2, Mercutio's scene——. |
| Yuzo | Yo, you guys. You're going to watch a play now, so get ready. |
| Izumi | Yuzo-san!? Why did you suddenly come? |
| Yuzo | The theater where I teach is holding a performance right now. I'll invite you to watch it for studying purposes. |
| Izumi | The theater where Yuzo-san...? |
| (But it's true that there may be some hints to improve our quality.) |
| Understood. Then, get ready, guys. |
| |
| (Amazing... The level is too high.) |
| Sakuya | This is overwhelming... |
| Tsuzuru | As expected of Yuzo's quality... |
| Citron | His Yakuza face is not just for show. |
| Itaru | It's a different case. |
| Izumi | (I wonder if everyone lost confidence after watching this... I'll hold a meeting once we get home.) |
| |
| Izumi | Very well, I'd like you to tell me the positive aspects that you got from the play just now——. |
| Sakuya | How about putting a daily special element to our play!? |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, I think so too. Like adlibs or something. |
| Sakuya | I heard that it's something the audience looks forward to! |
| Izumi | Yup. That's a nice idea. |
| Itaru | If we have spare time, how about doing a street act in the lobby? |
| Citron | That's a nice idea too! |
| Tsuzuru | I think maybe we can make our performance a little bit more flashy, like using lighting effects. |
| Masumi | We can make use of the stage's space more. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah, let's think about our movements more. |
| Izumi | You're right. |
| Sakuya | Since most of us also play the minor roles, how about asking some people to appear as extras? |
| Izumi | Yeah. I'll try asking Manager if we can borrow other theaters' members. |
| Tsuzuru | It'd be great if we can do it. Changing clothes is tough, after all. |
| Izumi | You guys... You use the play just now as your encouragement very well instead of feeling down about it. |
| Sakuya | I want to make our performance better and better. |
| Tsuzuru | I want to do all the things that we could do. |
| Masumi | I don't want to lose. |
| Citron | We have to do our best. |
| Itaru | We have to bring perfection. |
| Izumi | (Thank goodness. I don't need to worry about them. Everyone has certainly grown up.) |
| All right then, we shall think about how to make use of those ideas! |
| |
| Tsuzuru | ..... |
| Izumi | Huh? You're still awake, Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | I'm a little bit restless. |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Tsuzuru | Whenever I close my eyes, the image of the play this afternoon come in my head. |
| Izumi | Ah, it was really great. I thought that you guys would feel down after watching that, but I was wrong. Your mentality has also gotten stronger. |
| Tsuzuru | No, if it's about their script, I was shocked and overwhelmed. Somehow I just realised that I'm not at that level. |
| Izumi | But it only makes you stronger, right? |
| Tsuzuru | Well, yeah. But I wanted to do theater earlier. |
| Then I'd be able to do various things since I had basic experience. |
| Izumi | Did you not join a theater club at your school? |
| Tsuzuru | I couldn't join any clubs since I have a lot of brothers. |
| I tried to join a theater club during my high school days, but I just joined for a while. |
| If I dedicated myself to the long practice and went home late, it'd be tough since my youngest brother was feverish.... It was impossible for me. |
| Izumi | I see... You got trapped by family matters. |
| Tsuzuru | Well, that's what they say, but I wonder. |
| Still, if I really wanted to go on, I could just tell them my circumstances and go home early. But I gave up too soon. |
| I know that it was my fault for not steeling myself, but somewhere in my heart, I always blamed my beloved family. |
| Izumi | But didn't you come to Veludo Way and search for a theater to make that dream come true? |
| Tsuzuru | That is, well.... |
| Izumi | That's why it doesn't matter even if you started out a little bit late. |
| Thanks to that, you joined this MANKAI Company. I'm grateful for Tsuzuru-kun's script. |
| Besides, if you started doing theater earlier, you'd join another theater company. You might not be able to meet everyone here. |
| And Tsuzuru-kun's beautiful original RomiJuli would not be born. |
| Tsuzuru | ...I see. You're right. |
| I could write RomiJuli because of the first generation's RomiJuli, and because I met you guys... |
| Izumi | Right? You were able to work hard writing the script in that one week because your frustration had banked up. |
| Tsuzuru | Haha. Well, that's true. I really thought at that time that if I couldn't write it now, I couldn't write it forever. I was desperate. |
| Yeah, it wasn't pointless.... |
| Izumi | You should write from now on too. You have to write for this company. Tsuzuru-kun is MANKAI Company's official playwright, after all. |
| Tsuzuru | Official is too much... |
| Izumi | It's not! |
| Tsuzuru | ....Then, this theater has to succeed so that I can continue writing. |
| Izumi | That's right. We absolutely have to succeed. |
