| Madoka | … |
| …Sigh. |
| Masumi | You… |
| Madoka | ? |
| Masumi | .... |
| Madoka | Do you need something? |
| (phone buzzes) |
| ….ーーIt’s father. |
| Excuse me. |
| Masumi | (...Is this what he’s been writing? A plot?) |
| Madoka | ーーYes. ーーI understand. |
| Masumi | That guy, as I thought he looks familiar... |
| |
| Madoka | Hello, Fatherーー? |
| Kusumi | 「This time it seems they’re having a showdown act.」 |
| 「 Losing is absolutely unforgivable. They must be expecting the finest quality in the script as well.」 |
| 「If we screw this up, this will hurt not only GOD-za, but also my name as a scriptwriter.」 |
| Madoka | Yes. |
| Kusumi | 「Kamikizaka-san ordered three different plot outlines. I will write one. You write the other two.」 |
| Madoka | I understand. |
| Kusumi | 「Do not worry. I will do corrections on the plot you will write as well.」 |
| Madoka | … |
| (The parts that father corrects would always receive revisions from Kamikizaka-san.) |
| (The workload doubles because of it, so I wish he’d send it as is, but there’s no way I can say something like that…) |
| Kusumi | 「I’m going to a consultation meeting with Kamikizaka-san. I’ll tell you more in detail later.」 |
| Madoka | Yes. |
| … |
| (Thanks to father, my script gets to be performed by famous theaters like GOD-za. I should be thankful.) |
| (Even if my name will not get one bit of credit.) |
| (But, I wonder if it’s really okay to stay like this? To keep writing in father’s shadow, I…) |
| … |
| (If grandpa was alive, I could have consulted many things to him.) |
| (Because I was told to by my father, I read all of grandpa’s scripts. If I read them when he was alive, I wonder if I could have talked to him more.) |
| |
| Hakkaku | What are you reading, Madoka? |
| Madoka | ーーgh. |
| U-um, Two Years’ Vacatioーー |
| Misumi | Ooーi! Grandpaー! |
| Hakkaku | You, climbing up there again, it’s dangerous! |
| Misumi | I’m fineー! |
| Hakkaku | Geez, what’s with that kid’s reflexes? He's more of a monkey, huh. A monkey. |
| Misumi | Grandpa, c’mere c’mere! |
| Hakkaku | I’m coming, so wait up! |
| Madoka | … |
| Hakkaku | If it’s adventure novels then it’s on the far right shelf of the study, so go take a look. |
| Madoka | ーー!! Y-yes! |
| |
| (About script, about theater, I wanted to ask a lot of things.) |
| (But, even if he were alive, I might not be able to get close to him. I’ve always been a bit jealous of nii-san who’s always together with him.) |
| (I wonder if father was never taught how to write scripts.) |
| (Father had always been polite towards grandpa, though that’s also made them somewhat distant.) |
| (Even though they're blood related father and son… Well, that aspect isn't too different from nii-san and I.) |
| (I wonder why father took the GOD-za job in the first place.) |
| (If I’m being honest, I can't think of father’s script being good enough to be used regularly by GOD-za.) |
| (He's been taking the job since the time grandpa died 8 years ago. Long before I helped...) |
| (Even back then, he remained obscure as a scriptwriter…) |
| (Grandpa never wrote scripts for GOD-za, so it can’t possibly be a connection from grandpa.) |
| (The ones grandpa wrote for was…) |
| |
| Who is it? |
| Izumi | !? |
| Muku | Eh!? We haven’t even pressed the bellーー. |
| Madoka | I just saw you by chance. Do you have business with us? |
| Izumi | Ah, yes! |
| U-umm, My name is Tachibana, current president of MANKAI Company, the theater Hakkaku-san wrote scripts for… |
| Um, we’re looking for Hakkaku-san’s documents, would it be possible to get your cooperation? |
| |
| Madoka | (MANKAI Company, the theater nii-san is in… As expected, nii-san has a connection with grandpa.) |
| |
| Misumi | Triangle〜 Triangle〜 Triangle over here, triangle over there〜.... |
| Izumi | (Misumi-kun, I wonder if he’s folding paper planes again.) |
| (The paper planes are jet black though, they're kind of horrendous.) |
| What are you folding those with? |
| Misumi | Hmm〜 Demon’s paper? |
| Izumi | !? |
| Homare | They’re art exhibition leaflets that I gave him. |
| The art exhibition is sponsored by a publisher I'm affiliated with. It seems the theme is going to be “wicked beauty”. |
| They've primarily collected works that depict demons who corrupt humans. |
| Izumi | So that’s why it’s a little scary. |
| Homare | Umu. But if you analyze deeper, terror is something tied to beauty. |
| Izumi | I see…? |
| (I don’t really understand art, but I guess that’s how it is?) |
| Homare | I gave the leaflets to those who might be interested such as Kazunari-kun and Misumi-kun, but unfortunately this time there aren't any works involving triangles. |
| Misumi | He said it's fine to make them into paper planes〜 |
| Homare | Next time I’ll find you an art exhibit with plenty of triangles. |
| Misumi | Yaayー! |
| Homare | What about you, Director-kun? They have works from the old masters to modern works, I think it’s interesting to see such a wide range of works being made up until the present day. |
| Izumi | (It’s true that if you look closer, it’s not just scary, but also beautiful.) |
| I’m not that familiar with the arts, would that be okay? |
| Homare | How people enjoy art is different per person. If you observe art and truly feel that it moves your heart, then that is sufficient enough. |
| Input is also an important thing for someone who expresses themselves. |
| Izumi | You’re right. |
| (Come to think of it, recently I’ve been so busy, I haven't been watching plays in Veludo Way.) |
| |
| Veludo Way performs shows everyday? |
| Yukio | That’s right. Everyday various troupes perform various plays, from morning till night. |
| Izumi | That’s amazing〜 |
| Yukio | Back when dad was a student, we used to watch all types of plays from small theaters everyday. |
| Next time you come to play, I’ll take you to watch lots of shows, kay? |
| Izumi | Okay! I’m so excited! |
| |
| (I’m lucky to be surrounded by theaters left and right, I gotta watch a lot while I can!) |
