| Taichi | Sakkun, look! Seems like you can play basketball too! |
| Sakuya | Wow......It's amazing that there's even a court! |
| Taichi | Apparently there's also a pool, but I wonder whether we can go in too? |
| Sakuya | Let's ask Azuma-san after. |
| Taichi | Hm? Sakkun, that bag you're holding......aren't those the props? |
| Sakuya | Ah, you're right! Looks like I accidentally carried it here. |
| I'll go put it back in the room. |
| Taichi | Got it! I'll be waiting around here! |
| |
| Sakuya | Ermm, our room is...... |
| Child | ...... |
| Sakuya | ......? |
| Huh, you're yesterday's...... |
| Child | ――! |
| Sakuya | What's wrong? Are you lost? |
| Child | ――gh。 |
| Sakuya | Ah...... |
| He left......I hope he's okay......? |
| |
| Izumi | Then, we've got two rounds today - morning and afternoon - let's work hard so the spectators can enjoy themselves! |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| Kumon | We'll work hard today, too~! |
| Azuma | Hehe, Sakuya and Kumon are both full of energy. |
| Kumon | Acting is fun, and I'm really enjoying the luxury cruise, too! |
| Taichi | The cabin beds were really cozy too, weren't they~! It's a boat, so I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but I slept really soundly! |
| Masumi | Being in a separate room to the Director......I can't believe it. |
| Izumi | That was obvious. |
| Azuma | Apparently there's a dance party event tonight too. |
| Yuki | Huh...... |
| Taichi | I'm looking forwards to it~! |
| Masumi | I'll be your your partner...... |
| ??? | ............ |
| Kumon | ......Hm? |
| Izumi | Kumon-kun? What's wrong? |
| Kumon | I thought someone was there just then......Maybe it was my imagination. |
| Izumi | ? |
| |
| Azuma | Are you all ready? It's almost time for the morning performance to start. |
| Sakuya | ......This is strange; it's not anywhere...... |
| Taichi | What's wrong? |
| Sakuya | I can't find the prop pistols...... |
| Masumi | Did you look properly. |
| Kumon | They were there during the meeting before, right? |
| Yuki | Could you have left them on the deck? |
| Taichi | I'll go look! |
| |
| Izumi | ―― The props have disappeared? |
| Taichi | Yes......We tried asking the staff too, but they haven't received anything. |
| Sakuya | I'm sorry......If I'd noticed earlier...... |
| Izumi | No, sorry we didn't notice either. |
| Yuki | There's no time to look for them now, is there? |
| Azuma | We'll just have to change the staging. |
| Masumi | How will we change it. |
| Kumon | There's no time to discuss it, either...... |
| Taichi | ―― I have an idea! |
| |
| Taichi | Chapter 8 |
| Izumi | An idea? |
| Taichi | Yes! But I'll need Sakkun's cooperation for it...... |
| Sakuya | I'll do anything! |
| Azuma | There's no time, so shall we leave this to the two of them? |
| Kumon | Yeah! |
| Masumi | ......Let's just try. |
| Yuki | Then what's that plan. |
| Taichi | Okay! SO the final scene with the pistols ――. |
| |
| Kumon | "Arghhhh!!" |
| Yuki | "A scream......!? |
| Sakuya | "The culprit is someone here......" |
| Yuki | "I didn't do it!" |
| Masumi | "Are you suspecting me!?" |
| Taichi | "I went back to my room after meeting with Peter on the deck." |
| Azuma | "I have an alibi for that time. You can ask the bartender." |
| |
| Sakuya | "Thanks to the help of all of you passengers, I was able to arrive at the truth." |
| "......Found him. The culprit is......you, Fred." |
| Taichi | "――!" |
| Spectator A | Huh......? |
| Spectator B | Those are their hands, not pistols, right? |
| Izumi | （Sakuya-kun is just imitating holding a pistol in his hands, but......） |
| Sakuya | "It's useless to try and escape." |
| Taichi | "You, why do you have a gun......!" |
| Sakuya | "I carry it with me for self-defence. But I have confidence in my shooting prowess." |
| "If you confess the truth and surrender yourself quietly, I won't shoot." |
| Spectator C | ......Somehow, it's like a real pistol. |
| Spectator D | That detective is cool...... |
| Izumi | (――There's no sense of strangeness in his acting at all. The spectators are enthralled too.) |
| (This will work out!) |
| Child | ............ |
| Izumi | ? |
| (Huh? The child watching from over there is from yesterday......) |
| |
| Izumi | Well done! Thank goodness the final confrontation scene went well too! |
| Kumon | Sakuya-san's acting was incredibly powerful! Even my heart was racing~! |
| Azuma | The audience was bewitched by your performance too. |
| Izumi | It was really a convincing performance! |
| Sakuya | No, that's......It's thanks to Taichi-kun's idea. |
| Taichi | Hehe......Juza-san was incredibly cool that time. He left an impression. |
| Izumi | Juza-kun used the same method to push through during the Autumn Troupe's debut performance, didn't he. |
| Yuki | Say, wasn't that your fault in the first place? |
| Taichi | Yuki-chan, don't say that! |
| Azuma | Still, just where did those props go. |
| Izumi | That's right. We still have more appearances to make today...... |
| Masumi | ......Maybe they were stolen. |
| Yuki | Stolen? Those props? |
| Sakuya | But if that's the case, then who would have...... |
| Taichi | I-It wasn't me, you know!? |
| Yuki | Of course it wasn't. |
| Karasuma | ―― So this is where you were! |
| Masumi | ......He came again. |
| Karasuma | Shaddup! Today, for sure, I'll beat you guys in an Etude Battle ――. |
| Kumon | ...... |
| Izumi | ...... |
| Karasuma | ? What are you staring for. |
| Yuki | ......Looks like this is Suspect A. |
| Masumi | True. |
| Karasuma | ......Hah? |
| Yuki | C'mere for a bit. |
| Taichi | It's an interrogation!! |
| Karasuma | O-Oi, what's going on!? |
