Izumi | Okay, after the dress rehearsal, we’ll do another run-through and go over some minor details! [1] |
| First, that Michael and Raphael scene from Act 4. |
| |
Tasuku | “She’s already discharged, isn’t she? She even has a fiancé now. She seems plenty happy to me.” |
| “There’s no need for you to stay in the human world, Michael.” |
Tsumugi | “But her name is still on the list. I want to watch over her until the end.” |
Tasuku | “If you just want to watch over her, then you can do so from heaven. If you stay in the human world any longer, you won’t be able to return here!” |
Tsumugi | “Even so, I want to stay by her side, Raphael.” |
Tasuku | “Suit yourself, idiot!” |
Izumi | …Stop there. |
| It’s not bad, but Tasuku-san’s acting stands out no matter what. |
| I guess it can’t be helped since this is a scene where they argue, but… |
Tasuku | I’ll give it another try. |
| “There’s no need for you to stay in the human world, Michael.” |
Tsumugi | “But her name is still on the list. I want to watch over her until the end.” |
Tasuku | “If you just want to watch over her, then you can do so from heaven. If you stay in the human world any longer, you won’t be able to return here!” |
Izumi | Hmm… |
Tasuku | Looks like I still can’t get rid of the habits I got from God Seat. |
Izumi | It’s probably since everyone is toned-down in this play, it stands out all the more… |
| (I wonder what I should do… Oh, that’s it.) |
| Tsumugi-san, can you do Raphael’s lines in this scene? |
Tsumugi | Huh? Me? |
Izumi | If you would please. |
Tsumugi | …Okay. |
| “There’s no need for you to stay in the human world, Michael.” |
| “If you just want to watch over her, then you can do so from heaven. If you stay in the human world any longer, you won’t be able to return here!” |
| “Suit yourself, idiot!” |
Izumi | (Yeah, this is good…! Without any unnecessary movement, he’s sufficiently conveying his irritation using just his gaze and by simply moving his fingers.) |
| (His acting back from when he lacked confidence pales in comparison to this. He’s refined it even more.) |
| Tasuku-san, can you do it like that? |
Tasuku | I can try, but it’s impossible for me to do it that well. |
| This guy has always been good at detailed movements like this. I’m no match for someone who moves like they were a mime master’s apprentice. |
Izumi | Even just imitating the feel of it is enough. |
| (It’s kind of like he’s bragging about Tsumugi-san. He really acknowledges him.) |
| |
Izumi | —Okay. This is it for final adjustments. As for the rest, let’s make it better and better during the show’s run! |
Azuma | We’re changing things up even in the middle of the show’s run? |
Izumi | One of the strengths of theater is that you can improve your acting more and more as you perform the show! |
Homare | I see. How flexible. |
Tsumugi | We have to make it even better. |
Tasuku | We’ll improve the show’s quality until the day of the showdown with God Seat. |
Hisoka | …Yeah. |
Homare | We must do our best. |
Azuma | I wonder if my body will last… |
Izumi | Please make sure to take care of your body! |
| |
Izumi | It’s finally the opening day. Please have fun with all you have! |
Tsumugi | Yes. |
| It’s the opening day, so let’s do it just as we’ve practiced. Start by having fun as we finally perform the play in front of the audience. |
Tasuku | Yeah. |
Homare | Hm. |
Hisoka | …Got it. |
Azuma | Have fun, huh. It’s good advice. |
