Tsumugi | A Winter troupe comedy, huh… |
Tasuku | It’s worthwhile but pretty difficult. |
Homare | Rather, should we try doing Manzai as well? |
| It may be time to make use of our experience from the MANMAN Grand Prix. |
Guy | I see, it is also a challenge to hold a scene with a two-man act… |
Tsumugi | But it’s our specially-awaited anniversary event, so if possible, I want all of us to stand on stage. |
Tasuku | If not Manzai, then would a comedic sketch work…? |
Hisoka | …A comedy sketch with 6 people is novel. |
Azuma | It seems it’ll be bit difficult to use up the time with a comedic sketch though. |
Tsumugi | Hmmm… |
Tasuku | As expected, Winter troupe draws overwhelmingly little laugher, huh… |
Tsumugi | Then maybe it’ll be good to receive some advice from the other troupes too. |
Azuma | Sure. Isn’t that fine? |
Tasuku | I agree. |
Tsumugi | Alright then, bring the ideas you’ve gathered on your own for our next meeting. |
Guy | Understood. |
Hisoka | …Got it. |
Homare | Leave it to me. |
| |
Tsumugi | —so for that reason, I’m a little troubled. |
Banri | Well that’s for sure, I can’t really imagine the Winter troupe doin’ comedy. |
| Y’all are most unrelated to that within the Theatre company, right? |
Tsumugi | That’s true… |
Banri | Hm? Ain’t that Tenma walking in front of the shop? |
| He’s wearin’ sunglasses though. |
Tsumugi | Ah, it is. |
| If it’s Tenma, it seems he’ll give good advice, right? |
Banri | Well he’s the leader of the Summer troupe. So, more or less. |
Tsumugi | Hold on, I’ll call out to him. |
| |
Banri | Tenma, sup. |
| It’s pretty unusual for you to be walking ‘round here, eh? |
Tenma | N-not really, I just happened to be on a walk. |
Tsumugi | Is that so? |
| Sorry for suddenly bringing you into the shop then. |
Banri | You were lost anyways, weren’t you? |
| On the contrary, it was the right choice to grab him. |
Tenma | I wasn’t lost! |
| …Hey, you have something you want to ask me, right? |
Tsumugi | Actually, the Winter troupe also wants to incorporate comedy into our play for the fan meeting, but we have no idea what would be good to do, so… |
| I wondered if I could get some advice from Tenma-kun as the leader of the Summer troupe who’s in charge of comedies. |
Tenma | Ah I see… |
| …The lineage of the actors in the Winter troupe are different from Summer troupe’s in the first place, so isn’t it better to focus on a surreal style? |
Tsumugi | Surreal style, huh… |
Banri | If it’s the Winter troupe’s actin' skills, you’ll be able to pull it off well, right? |
| ‘Sides, I’d rather watch that. |
Tsumugi | Yeah, somehow that feels right. |
| Thank you, Tenma-kun. |
Banri | Solved immediately; that’s the Summer troupe’s leader for ya. |
Tenma | Hmph, this much is nothing. |
Tsumugi | Fufu, how reliable. |
| As a leader just the same, I have to do my best too. |
| |
Cat A | Meow~. |
Misumi | Yeah yeah, the sun is nice and warm today, huh~. |
Cat B | Meow—. |
Hisoka | … |
Misumi | Ah, Hisoka, good job at work~. |
| Wanna play together with Mr. cat? |
Hisoka | …Yeah, thanks. |
| But before that, I have something I want to ask Misumi. |
Misumi | Me? What is~ it~? |
Hisoka | …For performing comedy, what do you think I should do? |
Misumi | Comedy~? Umm… |
| Maybe you should try searching for triangles? |
Hisoka | I’ll become skilled at comedy if I do that? |
Misumi | I’m sure of it~. |
Hisoka | …I see. |
| I’ll get Arisu to search for triangle marshmallows. |
| |
Homare | The Winter troupe is also thinking of incorporating comedy but… |
| I don’t know what type of thing would be good for that, you see. |
| Muku-kun is familiar with comedy, are you not? |
| Won’t you share some advice with me? |
Muku | In that case, how about reading shoujo manga that have comedic elements? |
| By the way, I recommend “Tales of the Cool Girl” and “Bouncy Bouncy ✩ Walk”, and these two have also been made into live-action movies—! |
Homare | Umu. The titles are quite fascinating. |
| Definitely lend them to me. |
| |
Tasuku | —Hey, do you have a minute? |
Tsuzuru | What’s the matter? |
Tasuku | For the 2nd Anniversary fan meeting, Winter troupe is also thinking of performing a comedy but… |
Omi | Heh, that’s great. |
| It feels like a festival performance. |
Azami | Winter troupe doing comedy… I can’t picture it. |
Tsuzuru | The Winter troupe has never done a comedy, right? |
| It feels like a challenge for the third year, and it seems interesting. |
Tasuku | Yeah… That’s why, we’re troubled over how we should incorporate it. |
| Autumn troupe performed a show like that not long ago, and Minagi’s also writing the scripts, right? |
| Won’t you give me some advice? |
Azami | Hmm… |
| Watch comedy movies or something? |
Omi | When we performed Mantou Fist, Autumn troupe also had things we watched as reference. If you’d like, I’ll show you. |
Tsuzuru | I also asked Citron to tell me about interesting comedy shows recently, so I’ll bring the DVDs later. |
Tasuku | …That helps. Thanks. |
| |
Azuma | Say, Sakyo-kun. |
| When Autumn troupe performed their comedy, what kind of practise did you do? |
Sakyo | We did etudes with the Summer troupe. |
| It couldn’t be helped that it was noisy… But It became good reference for the play. |
Azuma | Etudes, hm… How nice. |
| I wonder if we should ask them for help too. |
Sakyo | Is Winter troupe doin’ a comedy? |
Azuma | Yes. But everyone’s worried over how we’ll go about incorporating it. |
Sakyo | I see… Since Winter troupe has a lot of acting fanatics, huh? |
| Ain’t it best to make use of that? |
Azuma | Ahh, Autumn troupe combined theirs with action, right? |
| Thanks, I’ll use this as reference. |
| |
Guy | 《Citronia, I have something to consult with you.》 |
Citron | 《It’s rare for you to consult with me. What’s wrong?》 |
Guy | 《For comedies, I’ve tried researching variously in my own way…》 |
| 《Generally speaking, it’s said that it is a work that is mainly focused on making people laugh, or an exchange that induces laughter among them.》 |
| 《However, I cannot think up how to incorporate this into a play at all. I would like to get the opinion of Citronia who has a profound knowledge about it.》 |
Citron | 《…Haa. You understand nothing about comedy.》 |
| 《A comedy has somehow been forced onto you who is so strait-laced. |
| It’ll be better to leave the comedic play to the other five people.》 |
| 《If you narrate in monotone, it could actually be interesting in terms of comedy.》 |
Guy | 《I cannot do something like that. |
| It’s true, I’m not suited for comedy and I’ll experience difficulties.》 |
| 《However, I cannot just slack off on my own. |
| —Because I am also a member of the Winter troupe.》 |
Citron | 《—I see.》 |
| 《Then, I will teach you something fun that it seems even you will be able to do.》 |
| —I am an android… |
Guy | …Hm? |
Citron | With this, the venue will be bumping, right! |
Guy | Is that an imitation of me? |
Citron | That's right, it's an "impression"! |
