Izumi | (If I’m not wrong, Team D should be practicing right now.) |
| (There are two leaders in Team D, so I shouldn’t be worried, but… I think I’ll take a quick look?) |
| |
| Everyone, how are you doing? |
Masumi | …! |
| I’m doing fine. After all, I’m working hard this Christmas for your sake. |
Izumi | Please work hard for our customers’ sakes. Masumi-kun, what are you acting as? |
Masumi | Your lover. |
Izumi | Eeh?! |
Sakuya | Th-That’s not it, Masumi-kun?! |
Tsumugi | In our play, the main character is a strange Santa Claus who will be played by Misumi-kun——. |
| He encounters the various characters in a dream on Christmas, and various stories unfold. That’s what it’s about. |
Masumi | I’m playing the role of a young boy who’s in love with an older woman who likes curry. |
Izumi | What an unusual role… |
Misumi | I’m the Santa who delivers triangular presents, Triangle Claus~!More puns.[1] |
Sakuya | I’m playing the boy who dreams that Santa has come, and Hisoka-san is playing the stray cat. |
Juuza | I’m an employee in a cake shop. Tsumugi-san is the villain, Black Santa. |
Izumi | Tsumugi-san’s playing the role of Black Santa, somehow there’s a gap, so it’ll be pretty interesting…! |
Juuza | Director, if it’s okay with you, can you give us some advice? We want to try continuing from the scene just now, so——. |
| //Sound of Juuza’s stomach growling.// |
Juuza | …! |
Juuza | My bad. My stomach’s growling… |
Tsumugi | Come to think of it, it’s already this time. Let’s take a short break. |
Sakuya | You’re right. |
Izumi | If so, I was just about to make some confectionaries, so if it’s alright, why not we all——. |
Masumi | We’ll make them. |
Hisoka | Hurry. |
Juuza | Confectionaries… |
| |
Izumi | Omi-kun’s busy with practices and plays for the fan meeting, too. |
| That’s why making the confectionaries for the fan meeting has been left to me. |
Masumi | What are you making today? |
Izumi | I’m making gingerbread. |
Hisoka | Gingerbread… |
Izumi | Ah, I’m planning to prepare a marshmallow tower, too! |
Hisoka | ! Marshmallow… tower… |
Tsumugi | Hisoka-kun, your eyes are sparkling. |
Izumi | Actually, I’ve already made the batter and let it rest. Now I’ll use this mold to shape the cookies. |
Misumi | Sounds fun~♪ Will there be triangles too?! |
Juuza | There’re many different kinds of molds… |
Sakuya | This cookie that’s shaped like a human, it’s called gingerbread, right? |
Tsumugi | It feels just like Christmas, doesn’t it. |
Hisoka | …Gingerbread is a confectionary that one should eat with their family during Christmas… |
Sakuya | Is that so? |
| …That’s right! Then for this time’s play, during the scene where I give Christmas confectionaries to the cat that Hisoka-san is acting as——. |
| What if I give you gingerbread! |
Tsumugi | Aah, good idea. |
Masumi | If that’s the case, we can use the ones we’re making now as props. Misumi: The props are handmade, too~! |
Izumi | I’m making lots of them, so it’s okay to use some as props. |
Juuza | Thanks. |
| |
Juuza | …It’s almost done baking. |
Izumi | It smells wonderful! I’ll open the oven |
Sakuya | Waah, they look really delicious! |
Misumi | We’re done~! |
Tsumugi | The triangular ones Misumi-kun made look delicious too. |
Izumi | Well then, let’s hurry and… Huh? Where’s Hisoka-san? |
| |
Hisoka | Snore… Zzz… |
| |
Tsumugi | It seems like he fell asleep some time ago. |
Izumi | There aren’t any marshmallows, so it’s impossible to wake him up, huh… Let’s get Tasuku-san to carry him later. |
