KumonI’m starving! Let’s eat!
JuzaLet’s eat.
MukuHuh? Kyu-chan, you’re not sitting next to Ju-chan?
KumonNope! Right now, so that I can get into character I’m avoiding nii-cha... I mean Juza-san!
MukuAvoiding Ju-chan!?
AzamiThat’s impossible for a brocon.
IzumiI also told him he didn’t have to go that far...
OmiThere’s tiramisu for dessert today.
MukuWah, it looks good! Right, Ju-chan!
SakyoYou can have my share.
JuzaNo, I’ll pass for today.
BanriHuh? Is your head okay?
IzumiJuza-kun said he’s abstaining from sweets.
BanriHyodo? The one who licks sugar for lunch?
JuzaLike hell I do.
TaichiBut Juza-san, that’s just how necessary sweets are to you, right!?
JuzaKumon’s working hard. I can’t be the only one doing nothing.
OmiYou two, don’t push yourself too hard, okay?
KazunariYeah yeah! That’s the worst thing you could do.
KumonI’ll be okay! I just can’t take a bath with nii-cha... Hyodo-san, or get close to him, or talk to him...
BanriYou’re tearing up.
MukuJu-chan, the tiramisu is really good, you know?
JuzaDon’t worry about it. You can eat my share too.
TaichiYour hands are shaking...!
TenmaOi, is this gonna be okay?
YukiThose two are totally failing.
Izumi(I’ll watch out so they don’t push themselves...)
(I don’t know if this really will help things, but Kumon-kun and Juza-kun gave it some thought and are trying to overcome it themselves.)
(As for Hisoka-san and Chikage-san...)
(As I thought, something probably happened when Hisoka-san disappeared.)
(If it’s a problem I can poke my nose into, then——)
...
ChikageWhat is he to you? A spy that belongs to a mysterious organization? Or a Sleepyhead troupe member that’s always eating marshmallows?
Izumi——
...He is Mikage Hisoka-san of Mankai Company.
ChikageIsn’t it good enough if you see him as the actor, Mikage Hisoka?
Izumi(To see Hisoka-san as the actor, Mikage Hisoka, no matter what kind of past he has.)
(Didn’t Chikage-san say that during the sixth Winter Troupe performance?)
(But it’s the same for Chikage-san. No matter what kind of situation he’s in, I’ll see him as an actor and a fellow companion in this theater troupe.)
Izumi(Ticket sales are going well. That’s great; all that’s left is the crucial part, the acting...)
TsumugiWhy don’t you come join us, Director?
AzumaI found some good wine.
GuyI made snacks too.
IzumiOh, they look delicious.
(Good, Hisoka-san is here too...)
I’ll join you then.
HisokaHere’s a marshmallow.
IzumiThank you. It smells good.
HisokaThey’re almond chocolate crunch marshmallows.
HomareI queued to buy them since they are a popular limited-edition item.
HisokaYou should get these ones every day instead of the value packs.
HomareThey will be gone in an instant if you consume them at your normal pace. Savour them, will you?
TasukuThe Hyodo brothers’ methods of getting into character look drastic this time.
TsumugiIt’s pretty drastic of them to abstain from their favourite things.
IzumiI just hope they don’t push themselves...
HomareDo you not need to abstain from marshmallows, Hisoka-kun?
HisokaI’d starve to death.
AzumaThey’re a staple to Hisoka’s diet after all.
HisokaAlice should abstain from poetic inspiration.
HomareI don’t need to practice for a role, so why must I, hm?
Izumi(Hisoka-san was acting strange the other day, but it looks like he’s cheered up.)
TsumugiIt looks like Hisoka-kun has returned to normal.
TasukuGeez. He needs a lot of work every time.
IzumiYou were all worried about him too.
(They get close to him without forcibly asking him anything — to Hisoka-san, the Winter Troupe must be a comfortable place to be.)
TsuzuruOh, a drinking party?
CitronHow unfair that it’s only the Winter Troupe!
ItaruI’m joining the warzone.
AzumaFufu, go ahead.
IzumiChikage-san isn’t home yet?
SakuyaApparently he won’t be able to go home because of work today.
CitronCorporate slave!
ItaruI thought their project was pretty steady right now though. That person’s a cheat who’s never tired after all.
Hisoka...
TsuzuruWe were actually thinking of practicing for the darts tournament though.
MasumiThe compensation is yakiniku.
CitronI hope it’s high quality meat!
ItaruPlus all-you-can-drink.
Izumi...
ItaruDirector-san? What’s the serious look for?
IzumiNo, it’s nothing! Please invite me too when you go for yakiniku.
Chikage...
HisokaWelcome back.
ChikageDon’t worry, that guy hasn’t made a move yet. So go to sleep. You’d feel sleep-deprived tomorrow, in your case.
HisokaBut——
ChikageI told you this has nothing to do with you. Anyway, just go to sleep. Good night.
HisokaChikage——!
*sigh*...
August... What should I do?
ChikageGood morning.
IzumiGood morning.
JuzaMorning.
KumonGood morning!
IzumiOkay, why don’t we get practice started?
IzumiNext, let’s do the scene where Moriarty appears in front of Holmes. We’ll stop for a moment before Watson enters the scene.
HisokaOkay.
Hisoka“I believe you’ve got the wrong room.”
Chikage“Galois’ theory piqued my interest when I first learned of it as well, James-kun. And so did Évariste Galois’ hapless fate.”
Hisoka“——”
Chikage“So your weapon of choice is a sword cane.”
Hisoka“And yours appears to be a knife.”
Chikage“You’re my mirror, Holmes. You pretend to be an ally of justice, finding pleasure in solving the puzzles of crime.”
“The one who will despair when I’m gone is, Holmes, you yourself.”
Hisoka——
Izumi(Hisoka-san...?)
Izumi...
(The feel for each of their characters isn’t bad. But as I thought, it still feels superficial.)
(I don’t think they understand their own characters and the others’.)
(They probably can’t afford to——)
(It also feels like Hisoka-san and Chikage-san are pushing away from each other more than usual...)
(Then Kumon-kun and Juza-kun’s lack of communication is showing in their acting.)
Why don’t you start by thinking about your own characters more and communicating with each other?
Even if the characters are mutual enemies confronting one another, acting is still a dialogue between living humans, so just snarling at each other and disagreeing won’t be enough.
ChikageCommunication, huh...
Hisoka...
KumonHmm, so just avoiding nii-chan is no good...?
JuzaThis is complicated.
IzumiFirst, why don’t you split into the Holmes team and Moriarty team, then communicate with each other?
Juza‘Kay.
*stomach grumbles*
JuzaUh...
IzumiFufu, everyone must be hungry.
ChikageJuza, want to go get something to eat first?
JuzaYeah.
KumonOkay, then let’s go with the two of us too! I know a good place!
Hisoka...Okay.
Izumi(They move fast. But this is good; these pairs might be able to find some sort of spark!)
