Muku | Director-san, did you scout people to audition this time too? |
Izumi | I did invite two people. |
Tenma | Are they anyone we know? |
Izumi | Yup. Though I don’t know if one of them will really come.... |
| (I wonder if Sakyo-san will show up...) |
Misumi | I wonder if a triangle-like person will show up~? |
Yuki | What kinda person is that? |
Kazunari | Here’s hoping for a person with a triangular face! For now, let’s just wait~. |
Red-haired boy | Hellooo. |
Omi | Excuse me. |
Misumi | Ah, there they are~! |
Muku | Welcome! This is the audition site! |
Tenma | So you scouted the cameraman. |
Kazunari | Ah! It’s Omimi! |
Omi | Hm? Mimi....? Is something wrong with my ears?[1] |
Kazunari | You’re Fushimi Omi-kun, so I’m calling you Omimi! |
Omi | ...Is that my nickname? |
Kazunari | Yup! So Omimi got scouted, huh~! Heya! |
Omi | Heya....? |
Muku | Let’s get along, Omi-san! |
Omi | Oh, uh, yeah. Let’s get along. |
Kazunari | Aaand, what about you over there? |
Taichi | Ah! My name’s Nanao Taichi! I’ve got no acting experience at all, but I’m here cuz I really wanna be popular! |
Kazunari | That’s a mood~! |
Taichi | I want all the high school girls to fangirl over me! |
Kazunari | I feel you~! Ah, I’m Miyoshi Kazunari! Heya! |
Taichi | Heya! |
Izumi | (So casual... he’s the same type as Kazunari-kun.) |
Yuki | Taichi and Kazunari, the wanwan duo[2], huh. Stupid doggies with an intelligence level and character of 1 out of 5.... There we go. |
Kazunari | Yukki, that’s so rude! |
Taichi | ——. |
Yuki | ...What is it? |
Taichi | Ah, um, was it Yukki-san? I’m really excited to work with you! |
Misumi | Both his hair and face are bright red~. |
Tenma | Heads up, but. Despite his looks, this guy is nothing but a spiteful little dude, all right? |
Yuki | What’s with those unnecessary descriptors. |
Taichi | A dude!? Seriously!? |
| How is he a guy.... No way.... I was totally ready to get into that messy romantic drama that they say happens in acting troupes all the time.... |
Yuki | You don’t need to be ready for that sort of thing. |
Tenma | ...Huh? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.... |
Taichi | Ah, ah~, probably cuz we go to the same school? I knew about you, Ten-chan. |
Izumi | You go to the same school as Tenma-kun? |
Taichi | Ouka High School Second Year, Class D! |
Tenma | ...So it’s because we’re in the same year. |
Izumi | Well then, Omi-kun, could you also tell us why you want to join this troupe? |
| I invited you because you seemed interested in theater, but I’d still like to hear it out. |
Omi | I... It became my dream to become an actor. |
Izumi | (...Became? That’s a strange way to phrase things, but...) |
| (I got a sense there was some hidden meaning back then, too, but I guess he can’t tell us everything just yet.) |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | Oi. |
Izumi | !? |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | Is this the audition site? |
Yuki | What’s with this template delinquent? |
Muku | —Ah! |
Izumi | Yes. Are you also here to audition? |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | Yeah. |
Muku | Ju-cha....! |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | ....Ah? Don’t go talking to me all casual. |
Muku | ——. |
Kazunari | What’s wrong, Mukkun? |
Muku | I-It’s nothing.... |
Izumi | Well then, could you also line up over here? |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | ..... |
Manager | Now, now, this way. I brought another potential auditioner~! |
Youth With Sharp Eyes | No, look, I said I’m not—. |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | ——. |
Youth With Sharp Eyes | ——. |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | The fuck are you doing here.... |
Youth With Sharp Eyes | That’s my line, dimwit. |
Youth With Slicked-Back Hair | Aah? |
Youth With Sharp Eyes | Aaan? |
Manager | Eeeeeek! |
Izumi | H-hey, guys!? |
| (They look like they’re about to start a fight....!?) |
Omi | ...Well, this isn’t very peaceful. |
Taichi | Ah! I remember him now! That’s Hyodo Juza-san! |
Omi | Do you know him? |
Taichi | He’s a senpai at my school! He’s super famous, he’s never lost a fight! |
Youth With Sharp Eyes | The fuck is with you? |
Juza | The hell, man? |
Kazunari | Isn’t this what they call a downshow[3]!? |
Misumi | I found a triangle-person! His eyes are triangles! |
Muku | Misumi-san, it’s dangerous, so don’t get too close! |
Izumi | (Seems like the Autumn Troupe will also be full of difficult people....!) |
