| Izumi | With that said, I'd like to announce that Itaru Chigasaki-san and Citron-kun will officially be joining our theater company from today onwards! |
| Citron | I'll be in your care. |
| Izumi | (I'm still a little bit unused to seeing Citron-kun without his mask. I was surprised to know that he looks more handsome than I thought he'd be.) |
| Manager | Whoah! You managed to gather all five members of newborn Spring Troupe within three days. Nice! As expected of Director. |
| Tsuzuru | So where's Itaru-san? |
| Sakuya | He went home to prepare for moving. It seems he will attend the practice from tomorrow. |
| Izumi | Then, I'd like us to decide what we will be performing next month. |
| Sakuya | Is it alright for us to decide without Itaru-san? |
| Izumi | We only have seven weeks left before the debut performance, so if we don't start preparing the script soon, we won't make it in time. |
| Manager | Is it possible to use the old script? |
| Izumi | That may be a good idea. |
| Sakuya | The first generation Spring Troupe's Romeo and Juliet was really interesting! |
| Masumi | But we'd probably get compared if we perform the same play. |
| Izumi | That'd be kind of hurt... |
| Citron | Romeo and Juliet is good. Everyone in my country is crying at the scene where Romeo has to come back to space. |
| Izumi | I think that's a totally different story. |
| Tsuzuru | Uhh——. |
| Izumi | What is it, Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | If possible, I'd like to write the new script... |
| Izumi | I see... You originally wanted to be a playwright, right. |
| (But with this group, we need a plenty of time just to get done with the read-through, so we need the script as soon as possible... I understand Tsuzuru-kun's feeling, but...) |
| Manager | What if Minagi-kun wrote the script for our next performance instead? |
| Tsuzuru | Are you certain that the theater will still be here for our next performance? |
| Manager | Tha-that's... |
| Izumi | ... |
| How much time do you need to write the script, Tsuzuru-kun? |
| Tsuzuru | I've written some short scripts for studying purposes, but I've never written a script in two hours... |
| Izumi | I see... |
| (Will he able to do it if I give him a deadline...? But he still needs to attend practices and improve his skills...) |
| (I think we should just give up using a new script this time...) |
| Tsuzuru | One week... Can you give me one week to write the script? If I can't complete it in time, I'll give up. I'll also attend practices. |
| Izumi | Tsuzuru-kun... |
| (He looks determined. He really wants to write the script.) |
| Okay, I give you one week. You don't have to attend practice. But be sure to finish the play script by then. |
| Tsuzuru | Is.. it really okay? |
| Izumi | But if you bring me an incomplete script by that time, I'll get angry. |
| Tsuzuru | That's scary... |
| Izumi | That's obvious. The future of this theater company is in your hand. You can't just say "I wanted to write it," for your own satisfaction. |
| Tsuzuru | ——roger. |
| Sakuya | Good luck, Tsuzuru-kun! |
| Manager | Do you already have any ideas in mind? |
| Tsuzuru | Ever since I watched the footage of the first generation Spring Troupe's performance, the image of Romeo and Juliet got stuck in my head. I think I'd like to write that story. |
| Citron | Nice idea! I'll be the captured alien. |
| Tsuzuru | That's not Romeo and Juliet. |
| Masumi | Are you going to be the Juliet? |
| Izumi | Me!? I won't take part in the play. I'm good being the director. I don't want to stand on stage. |
| (I've already decided it, anyway. I don't want to stand on stage as an actor again. No way. I'm not worthy enough...) |
| Manager | MANKAI Company has only had male actors ever since it was founded. So naturally, sometimes the male actors have to play the female roles. |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Sakuya | So we should choose someone to take the female role as well? |
| Manager | I'm not really sure, since the first generation Spring Troupe had an actor who was good at playing female roles... |
| Izumi | If any of you take on the female roles, it may look a bit cheap and scary... |
| Tsuzuru | Leave that matter to me. |
| Izumi | ...Fine. I'll believe in Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | Okay. |
| Izumi | Well, we have decided to leave the script to Tsuzuru-kun so that's all for today. |
| Sakuya-kun and Masumi-kun have school tomorrow, right? You can't be late. |
| Masumi | I want you to wake me up. |
| Izumi | I'm counting on you, Sakuya-kun. |
| Sakuya | Got it! |
| |
| Manager | Is it really okay to leave the script matter to Minagi-kun, Director? Should I search for the first generation's script too just in case? |
| And we can have everyone use that for the read-through in the meantime... |
| Izumi | (It'd be safer that way for sure, but...) |
| There's no need. I'm sure he'll be alright. I believe in Tsuzuru-kun. |
| (Tsuzuru-kun looks confident that he can do it. It's just my intuition, but I want to believe it. |
