Tsuzuru | Sorry to have kept you waiting! |
Tenma | It's fine. |
Tsuzuru | You can go and eat fir--ah right, it's not possible. Do you still attract attention? |
Tenma | It's not as bad as before, but it's still hard for me to leisurely eat by myself. |
Tsuzuru | Damn, yeah. But well, I get them. If the star Tenma Sumeragi is sitting at their university cafeteria, they are bound to unconsciously approach you. |
Tenma | It's not like I can help it, anyway. It was the same back during my high school days. |
Tsuzuru | You must have endured it so much all this time that you've gotten used to it. |
Tenma | I've always been saved since everyone in the troupe accompanied me. |
Tsuzuru | I'm not as reliable as Juza, though. |
Tenma | Just by sitting with Juza-san, I’d no longer be approached by some curious bunch. He's the strongest. |
Tsuzuru | In my case, I can feel a bunch of people looking at me~. |
Tenma | Speaking of, it looks like Juza-san can join us later. |
Tsuzuru | That's great. Well now… what should I order? |
| |
| How was set A? |
Tenma | Not bad. |
Tsuzuru | I should've chosen that set too. |
| But man, I've gotta admit it still feels kinda strange for me to eat with you at the cafeteria like this. |
| I could easily get used to Juza and Taichi since they originally went to O-High together, but you stand out quite a lot. |
Tenma | It's natural. My aura is different. |
Tsuzuru | Don't say it yourself. |
| But well, I was surprised when you decided to go to college. |
Tenma | It was sudden, after all. Everyone thought I was gonna quit showbiz when they heard that. |
Tsuzuru | Right. I really thought you were going to devote yourself to your acting career. |
Tenma | That was actually my plan all along, but… My parents told me the same thing they said back when I entered high school. |
| For instance, if I didn't enter a normal high school, I wouldn't be able to experience this kind of thing: buying a meal ticket at the cafeteria and lining up with a tray in my hands. |
Tsuzuru | That reminds me, you're a superstar. |
Tenma | Yeah. |
Tsuzuru | I can't believe you just casually agreed to it. |
Tenma | Especially, ever since I joined the troupe and spent time with everyone, I’ve experienced a lot of things for the first time. |
| That experience would absolutely help me develop my acting. It helped me realize what my parents actually meant when they told me to learn about the world. |
| That's why I could easily accept it when they said I should go to college. |
| Besides, going to college with Taichi, Tsuzuru-san and Juza-san sounds like fun. |
Tsuzuru | Ooh, my junior sure has some cute things to say, huh. |
Tenma | But well, I caused a lot of troubles for Chikage-san when I was preparing for the exam. |
Tsuzuru | He seemed to be having a great time though, unexpectedly. At the end of the day, that person doesn't seem to hate taking good care of others. |
Tenma | He'd throw daggers at you if you say it right to his face. |
Tsuzuru | Heck yeah. |
| Experience, huh… I can't deny that there are many things you can learn at college. You should study while you can. |
Tenma | Right. I was very motivated by Tsumugi-san's monologue at the showdown act against GOD-za. |
| The me right now can't deliver such a profound performance. Acting is truly all about life, huh. |
| Everyone taught me some of our knowledge and experience in acting can only be obtained outside our life as an actor. |
| Now that I've entered college, I'll do my best to face my life as a college student. |
Tsuzuru | Nice spirit you have there. Life experience is not something that you can accumulate if you try to do it though, so it can be difficult. |
Tenma | There's also that thing called the wisdom of age. |
Tsuzuru | Not to mention your co-star Hyuga-san is your senior in life and theater. He's a pretty strong rival. |
Tenma | I plan to study and receive training from him given that he's my senior, but I still don't want to lose to him. |
Tsuzuru | If I recall, your upcoming drama is a crime show, right? What kind of story is it? |
Tenma | It follows a pair of rookie and veteran detectives. It's a well-paced show packed with action and comedy. |
| There have been talks to serialize it if it gets good ratings. |
| The comedy scenes between the odd pairing are high in tension, but they have a lot of words… |
| I feel like there'll be a lot of bloopers if I break the dialogue pace. |
Tsuzuru | As the current Summer Troupe leader, you have to prove that you can handle comedy scenes well. |
Tenma | Yep. Look forward to that. |
College Student A | U-Umm, Sumeragi-kun, can you sign--. |
Juza | Do you have any business with Tenma? |
College Student A | N-No, I don't! |
Tenma | ? |
Tsuzuru | Oh hey, Juza. |
Tenma | Is something up? |
Juza | It's nothing. |
Tsuzuru | You ordered set A too, huh, Juza. I'm gonna have that tomorrow. |
Juza | Speaking of, it looks like you can participate in Yuzo-san's action workshop, Tenma. |
Tenma | Seriously!? |
Tsuzuru | Workshop? |
Tenma | We're gonna shoot the action scene in that drama right after the comedy one. I wanna study first before that. |
Tsuzuru | Oh, is it the class in the Yuzo Troupe you've been attending, Juza? |
Juza | Yeah. Yuzo-san always invites me… |
Tsuzuru | While Banri can study that in his university, Juza doesn't really have the chance to participate in workshops, huh. |
Juza | I've learned a lot from it. |
Tenma | He sure took quite a liking to you after you made a guest appearance in his troupe once. |
Tsuzuru | Be careful not to be poached by Yuzo Troupe. |
Juza | There's no way that will happen. |
Tenma | Come to think of it, it seems like Director is gonna watch Yuzo Troupe's play tomorrow. |
Tsuzuru | Will you watch it too, Juza? |
Juza | I've already watched it. The sword fight and action were awesome and well-defined. |
Tsuzuru | I know, right? Yuzo-san's sword fight is really cool. It's a little bit frustrating, though. |
Tenma | Guess I need to find some time to watch it... |
