Previous Main Story Next
CitronTsuzuru, are you alright!?
Tsuzuru!?
CitronYou weren't hit by eggs or tomatoes!?
TsuzuruWhat are you talking about!?
IzumiYou didn't feel any eyes on you?
TsuzuruEh? Well......I was concentrating on the PC, so I didn't realise at all......
IzumiI see......
TsuzuruWhat's going on?
IzumiMm, nothing. It'll be dinner shortly. Why don't you take a break soon?
TsuzuruNo~ I can't. I have to finish at a bit of a cleaner point.
IzumiReally?
CitronBut your screen's been blank for ages!
TsuzuruT-That's because I've been writing and then deleting it......
IzumiIf you go for a bit of a change of pace, you might come up with a good idea.
Tsuzuru......That might be true, but I kind of can't.
I don't make progress, so I just get more flustered, and I don't want to part from the PC, or more like I get scared of parting from the PC.
Izumi(As I thought, he's gotten stuck and might be working himself into a terrible state......)
CitronI've got a good Chinese divination, so don't worry!
TsuzuruWhat's that?
CitronI'll announce it at dinner!
SakuyaThanks for the meal.
MasumiThanks for the meal. Your curry really is the most delicious.
ItaruThanks~.
CitronAhem. I have an announcement for everyone!
TenmaAn announcement?
KazunariWhat, what?
CitronSoon, we're going to hold "The First MANMAN Grand Prix"!
TenmaWhat's that?
IzumiMANMAN Grand Prix?
CitronMANMAN is a portmanteau of MANKAI Company and MANZAI. Representatives from each troupe will perform a manzai act and the troupe that's the funniest will be the victor!
KazunariA manzai grand prix with everyone!? Get hyped~! I'm going up with Tenten!
TenmaWhy me!?
JuzaFunny......
BanriIt's impossible for you.
Izumi(So this is the change of pace that Citron-kun was talking about.)
(It's true that we haven't done any whole troupe projects recently, so this will deepen their bonds as well as being funny.)
SakyoThe Spring Troupe is next in line to perform. This isn't the time for that.
ItaruIf it's like a breather, it should be fine.
SakuyaIt seems fun, so I think it's fine as long as it doesn't hinder our practice!
MasumiI'll go with you. If it's you, I don't mind being hit.[1]
IzumiEhh!?
ItaruThat's a hard boke to deal with.
CitronI want to appear with Tsuzuru for the Spring Troupe. He'll write a manzai script as a cutout from the play script.
ItaruCutout? A breather?
SakuyaThat's good!
TsuzuruNo no, I'm not in the position to......
IzumiIt might make for a good change of pace.
SakuyaAs you practice manzai, you might come to match one another as the lead and second lead.
ItaruI have high expectations.
TsuzuruHmm......
CitronIt's studious![2]
MasumiThat old man said the two of you needed to be more in sync.
Tsuzuru......Understood. Then, as long as the script is at a permissible level.

Krhs
  1. A classic manzai routine involves the straight man hitting their partner, traditionally with a paper fan, when they do something silly.
  2. He originally mistakes 合成 (gousei = synthesis) for 後生 (kousei = one's junior)
