Izumi | For today’s practice, we’re performing Street ACTs on Veludo Way! It’s important to get used to performing in front of others! |
Taichi | Yessir! |
Omi | A Street ACT, huh... I’ve watched one before, but I’ve never performed in one. |
Banri | Nooo problem. |
Juza | It's all adlibs, right? |
Sakyo | Yes. You observe the other actor and respond to their lines. |
Izumi | Let's just get used to it to begin with! |
| (Now, where should we begin?) |
Passerby A | ....Hey, look at that. |
Passerby B | ....Oh my god. |
Izumi | (Huh? It doesn’t seem like there are many people out on Veludo Way today....) |
Passerby A | A squad of delinquents? |
Passerby B | No, I bet they’re the yakuza. |
Banri | Everyone's avoiding us. |
Izumi | (Ah, it's not that there aren't many people, it's just that they're all avoiding us....!) |
Omi | Haha, Director is like Moses. |
Taichi | Oh, the one who splits the sea! |
Izumi | No, it’s definitely you guys! |
| Let's rearrange ourselves so we don't get in everyone's way. |
| Omi-kun, stand in front! Taichi-kun, take the rear! I'll camouflage the middle! |
Sakyo | I'll lead the way. |
Izumi | You're the biggest problem here! |
Omi | Well, I guess I will. |
Izumi | Yup, please. |
| (This should help a little....) |
Passerby A | Hey... I think I’ve seen that guy before. |
Passerby B | The one in front? |
Passerby A | Doesn't he look like the boss of "Wolf"—the group that dominated West Tokyo a few years back? |
Izumi | (....Hm? I feel like we're still drawing attention...?) |
Passerby B | Oh man, you’re right! What was his name... "Wild Wolf" Fushimi Omi? |
Izumi | O-Omi-kun....? |
Omi | Ah, my dark past from a few years ago... if you could let it slide, that'd be great. |
Izumi | (So Omi-kun was also guilty.....) |
| Our last hope is Taichi-kun—. |
Haruto | What’s with that rowdy group? |
Reni | Haruto. Don't bark at everything you see. |
Izumi | Huh? You’re GODza's—. |
Haruto | You.... |
Reni | Are you perhaps members of an acting troupe? |
Izumi | Ah, we’re MANKAI Company. I’m the current head of the troupe—. |
Reni | MANKAI Company.....? |
Izumi | ? |
Reni | —Ah. MANKAI Company. |
| I’m the head of GODza, Kamikizaka Reni. |
| I knew the former head, Tachibana-san, but this is my first time meeting you. |
Izumi | Huh!? You knew my father!? |
Reni | You’re Tachibana-san's daughter....? |
Izumi | Yes. |
Reni | ...I see. |
| If you’re his daughter, then the company’s current success makes sense. I’ll be sure to attend your next performance. |
Izumi | Thank you very much. I’ll be sure to invite you! |
Reni | I’m looking forward to it. See you—. |
Izumi | (So he also knows about father. I hope I can ask about him one day.) |
Omi | Hm? Where's Taichi? |
Izumi | Eh? I thought he was walking at the very back of the line. |
Banri | Isn’t he over there? |
Taichi | Hm? |
Juza | Oi, where were you? |
Taichi | Ahaha. I found a suuuper cute girl and got sidetracked! |
Banri | The heck? |
Izumi | Taichi-kun, you take the lead this time! You're our only hope for camouflage! |
Taichi | Eh!? Me!? |
Sakyo | ....I don't think it'll change anything. |
Izumi | We should at least give it a try! |
Taichi | Well then, here we go. |
Passerby C | Hey, look at that group... |
Passerby D | They look dangerous... |
Izumi | (Oh no, as expected, they’re still making way for us....) |
