| Izumi | Huh? There isn't any spare toilet paper. |
| Manager | Heave ho, heave ho.... |
| Izumi | Manager, where's the spare toilet paper? |
| Manager | Ah! Sorry, I haven't bought it yet! |
| Izumi | Are you still organizing the props with your friend? |
| Manager | I'm organizing the video data right now.... |
| Izumi | I'll go buy it, then. Do we need to buy anything else? |
| Manager | If that so, we need tissue, packing tape, permanent marker, clear file, note, curtain, broom and then——. |
| Izumi | We don't have them here!? |
| Manager | I don't have the time to buy them... |
| Citron | What's wrong, Director? You look like a police car rushing to gunshots[1]. |
| Izumi | It's a dying duck in a thunderstorm! You make it sound brutal in an instant! |
| That's right! Citron-kun, can you help me shopping if you're free? |
| Citron | Oh, of course! Shopping with Director is nice! |
| Izumi | Thank goodness. I'm going then, Manager. |
| Manager | Be care~ful. |
| |
| Izumi | I think we've bought all the stationery. |
| Citron | Let me carry the baggage. |
| Izumi | Thanks. |
| Citron | Walk on this side, Director. |
| Izumi | (Citron-kun is somewhat a gentleman, huh, he's letting me walk on the sideway.) |
| Citron | ——. |
| Izumi | Citron-kun? What's wrong? |
| Citron | Ssh. |
| Izumi | ?? |
| Citron | .... |
| Izumi | ....Citron-kun? |
| Citron | It's nothing. Next is the drug store, yes? |
| Izumi | Y-yeah. |
| (What's wrong with him?) |
| |
| Citron | After you, Director. |
| Izumi | Thanks. |
| (I'm not used to this kind of "Ladies First" treatment, so it makes me a little bit nervous.) |
| You're good at escorting, Citron-kun. |
| Citron | It's only natural for me to do such things since I'm walking with a nice lady like Director. |
| Izumi | (He's also good at flattery... I feel like I discovered Citron-kun's new ability.) |
| Citron | ——. |
| Izumi | Citron-kun? |
| Citron | Come here——! |
| Izumi | !? |
| |
| Why, why are we runnning all of sudden? |
| Citron | Be quiet. |
| Izumi | ——. |
| (He's looking at the street...?) |
| Citron | They're even chasing me here... |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Citron | ....I may be a bother to the theater. |
| Izumi | What do you mean? |
| Citron | Actually, I didn't come here to study abroad. I ran away from my country. |
| Izumi | What!? |
| Citron | If the pursuers find me, they will bring me back to my country. |
| Izumi | ...You're not joking, aren't you? |
| Citron | I'm not. It may be better for me to not stay at the theater. |
| Izumi | Don't say that. Citron-kun is a member of this theater. Everyone will be troubled if you're not here. |
| You're not being chased because you did bad things, right? |
| Citron | No. I'm nothing but an eyesore to them. |
| Izumi | So you did nothing wrong, right? I'll cooperate with you so that you won't get found out. |
| Citron | ....Why would you say such a thing? |
| Izumi | It's because everyone absolutely has to do their best for the performance. |
| I know that Citron-kun has been trying hard to improve your pronouncation and intonation. And your acting has gotten better and better. |
| I'm happy to see you having so much fun practicing more than anything. |
| And thanks to Citron-kun who always livens up the mood, it brings a good impact on everyone. |
| It's not just me, see, I think everyone also wants to keep performing together with Citron-kun. |
| Citron | ......——. |
| Izumi | Huh? What did you say? |
| Citron | I said, "Thanks." |
| Izumi | Citron-kun is an important member of the theater, so of course I have to do this much. |
| Citron | I'll believe in Director. |
| ——. |
| Izumi | !! |
| What are you doing, Citron-kun!? |
| Citron | Kissing the back of your hand is a form of our allegiance. It's a common thing in my country. |
| Izumi | I, I see. |
| (It's not a common thing in this country, though...) |
| (But he looks like a real prince just now, so I'm getting a little bit nervous. And there is something refined about him too; just who in the world are you, Citron-kun?) |
