| Sakuya | I wonder if Tsuzuru-kun is okay.... |
| Izumi | He said he was struck by inspiration; has he been cooped up this entire time since then? |
| Masumi | He won’t leave his computer, and he doesn’t notice when I talk to him. |
| Izumi | Is he eating properly...? |
| Masumi | If I tell him it’s time to eat, he says he doesn’t want to stop typing, so I give him energy supply jelly. |
| Izumi | You’re feeding him, Masumi-kun!? |
| Citron | Like a bowl out of the blue! |
| Masumi | It’s not a bowl. It’s a jelly drink. |
| Itaru | No, I think he means “a bolt from the blue.” |
| Citron | That’s it! |
| Chikage | I’m amazed you got that. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun, you were taking care of him. |
| Masumi | He’s also... part of the family, after all. |
| Izumi | Yes. |
| (Masumi-kun... he’s changed. He seems more mature than before.) |
| *Door opens* |
| Tsuzuru | ....D....o....ne. |
| Sakuya | Tsuzuru-kun!? Are you okay!? |
| Itaru | Wow, he’s like a newborn deer. |
| Izumi | The script is done? |
| Tsuzuru | ...gh. |
| Citron | The death of a bug! |
| Itaru | The breath of a bug. You pretty much have the meaning down. |
| Tsuzuru | Zzz.... |
| Izumi | Let’s let him sleep for now. |
| Omi | Did Tsuzuru emerge from his room? |
| Izumi | Yes. Though he fell asleep right after.... |
| Omi | I guess his meal will have to wait. |
| I’ve prepared something easy on the stomach that’ll help him recover. |
| Itaru | As expected of mom. |
| Izumi | Let’s make copies of the script while Tsuzuru-kun is sleeping. |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| |
| Tsuzuru | Ah... I’m alive. Fushimi-san’s meals are really the best. |
| Omi | Thank you very much. |
| Izumi | Now that Tsuzuru-kun is back, let’s start reading! |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
| Izumi | So this time you arranged “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” |
| Itaru | And the main character isn’t Dorothy, but the Wizard Oz. |
| Izumi | (It takes place in The Land of Oz before Dorothy’s arrival...) |
| (The charlatan Oswald wanders into the strange magical country and fools everyone with his eloquence and skill...) |
| (How should I say this... it’s... the perfect role for Chikage-san, who’s great at lying.) |
| Chikage | A charlatan, huh... seems interesting. |
| Izumi | (At the climax, Oswald is moved by his follower, Rick, who continues to believe him despite his lies and deception, and decides to change for the better.) |
| I can imagine this last exchange between Oz and Rick with Chikage-san and Sakuya-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | I thought of Sakuya when I was writing Rick. |
| Izumi | I thought so. |
| Sakuya | Eh!? Me? |
| Itaru | You’re right, he’s gullible like Sakuya. |
| Citron | It’s perfect. |
| Sakuya | I-is that so? |
| Izumi | Then our lead will be Chikage-san, and our second lead will be Sakuya-kun. |
| Chikage | Take care of me. |
| Sakuya | Let’s do our best! |
| Izumi | For the other wizards.... |
| I’m going to double-check. Oswald is Chikage-san, Rick is Sakuya-kun. |
| The Wizard of the West is Itaru-san, the Wizard of the East is Tsuzuru-kun. The Wizard of the North is Citron-kun, and the Wizard of the South is Masumi-kun. |
| Is everyone good with that? |
| Let’s start reading our scripts out loud tomorrow. Be sure to check your lines. |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| Citron | It’s an OK! |
| |
| Chikage | .... |
| Sakuya | U-um, Chikage-san! |
| Chikage | Hm? |
| Sakuya | Um, about this performance... |
| Oswald and Rick have a lot of scenes together, so I think their exchanges are going to be crucial. |
| Chikage | Yup. |
| Sakuya | That’s why, um.... |
| I was thinking, I want us to communicate every day, even if it’s just a little.... |
| Chikage | ...What do you mean by communicate? |
| Izumi | Um, I can’t really think of anything specific, but.... |
| Chikage | Does anything work? Then.... |
| *Flips a coin* |
| Here. Which hand is it in? |
| Sakuya | ...Is it the left? |
| Chikage | Wrong. Does this count as communication? |
| Sakuya | Ah, yes! |
| Chikage | Well then, good night. |
| Sakuya | Good night! |
