| Izumi | (We’re finally at the second last performance…) |
| (The final performance will have to take place at God Seat’s theater because of the showdown, so this will be the last time we’ll perform this play here at the Mankai theater…) |
| Today is the last day we’re doing this show at our homebase. Let’s put our all into it! |
| Tasuku | Yeah. |
| Azuma | Tomorrow is the showdown after all. This is probably the last time we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves earnestly. |
| Homare | It is a little saddening. |
| Hisoka | …Let’s enjoy it. |
| Tsumugi | … |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | Director, for today, can I change up my acting a little bit? |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Tsumugi | I just want to improve my acting… |
| Izumi | That’s fine with me… but in what way are you thinking of changing it? |
| Tsumugi | …Can you entrust it to me? |
| Izumi | …Okay. |
| Tsumugi | … |
| Izumi | (I don’t think there should be any problem if it’s Tsumugi-san… But I’m a bit worried about that brooding look he’s making.) |
| |
| Izumi | (I wonder how Tsumugi-san is planning to change things up…) |
| |
| Michael | “Raphael, you’re worried about me, aren’t you?” |
| Raphael | “Falling in love with a human only causes sorrow. I know that for a fact.” |
| Michael | “That’s fine with me. Even if it makes me miserable, I want to make her happy.” |
| Izumi | (…Huh!?) |
| Michael | “I can descend on the human world?” |
| “Thank you, Metatron.” |
| Izumi | (Is this really Tsumugi-san…? He’s acting like how Tasuku-san did back at the beginning…) |
| (No, this is nothing but a cheap mimicry of Tasuku-san. Tsumugi-san, why this kind of acting…?) |
| (Is this what he meant when he said that he wanted to improve his acting? But rather than improving it, this is making it worse—) |
| |
| Izumi | … |
| (The audience are applauding, but compared to our other performances so far, this was superficial and low quality…) |
| Tasuku | Tsumugi, why’d you have to do something like that…! |
| Tsumugi | I don’t even know the answer to that myself…! |
| Izumi | Tsumugi-san— |
| Tasuku | Damn it… |
| Homare | Frankly speaking, I do not think that we can beat God Seat with a performance like that. |
| Azuma | I don’t think so either. |
| Hisoka | …Yeah. |
| Izumi | …I’m sure that Tsumugi-san knows that himself. Let’s move on and switch gears for the final performance tomorrow. |
| Tasuku | … |
| |
| Izumi | (I wonder if the entire stage set has been carried out…) |
| (It’s tough having to bring all that to God Seat’s theater by tomorrow.) |
| (All that’s left to do is go through a final check of tomorrow’s performance with everyone… but I wonder if Tsumugi-san is okay.) |
| Tasuku | Director. |
| Izumi | Oh, Tasuku-san. Were you able to talk with Tsumugi-san? |
| Tasuku | No… |
| Izumi | You have to talk to him… With the way he is right now, Tsumugi-san won’t be able to act suitably for the final performance tomorrow. |
| Tasuku | I can’t be the one to talk to him. I’ll definitely end up driving him to a corner again. |
| Izumi | Again? |
| Tasuku | …It was the same back then too. |
| When we auditioned for God Seat, I knew that Tsumugi was acting strangely. And yet I couldn’t say anything. |
| I was the only one that passed, so even if I said anything it would’ve sounded like I was bragging; so I couldn’t talk to him. |
| And just like that, Tsumugi quit acting. I really regretted not being able to talk to him. |
| But I turned my eyes away from that regret, and did nothing but condemn Tsumugi for quitting acting instead… |
| Izumi | (Tasuku-san… he’s been thinking that way all this time.) |
| If you already regretted your actions once, then you shouldn’t repeat those actions again. |
| Tasuku | ―― |
| Izumi | You may have not been able to speak with Tsumugi-san back then, but you can speak with him now. |
| Please do so you won’t have any more regrets. |
| Tasuku | —I’ll go. |
| Izumi | By all means. |
