| Yuzo | I've told you to loosen up your waist! How many times have I said it! |
| Sakuya | I'm sorry! |
| Masumi | He's at it again... |
| Sakuya | Haa, haa.... |
| Yuzo | One more time! |
| Tsuzuru | He's strict... |
| Itaru | He's not going easy on them. |
| Citron | He's rudeless. |
| Tsuzuru | It's ruthless. |
| Izumi | (Sakuya-kun is getting tired with all these practices...) |
| Let's take a little break. |
| Yuzo | ...tch. Five minutes. |
| Sakuya | I'm sorry... Haa, haa. |
| Masumi | How did I do? |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun sure has good intuition, and your form is also beautiful. |
| Sakuya | The problem is me, right. |
| Izumi | I think you're just a little bit overworked from the sword and the usual practices. Why don't you skip the morning practice? |
| Sakuya | No, it's fine! I can do it! |
| Masumi | Don't drag everyone else down. |
| Sakuya | ...Sorry. |
| Tsuzuru | Don't say that, Masumi. |
| Sakuya | It's okay, Tsuzuru-kun. It's the truth, after all. |
| Tsuzuru | Don't push yourself too hard, Sakuya. |
| Sakuya | I'm fine. |
| Izumi | .... |
| (Is he really going to be alright...) |
| |
| (Eh? The practice room's light is still on.) |
| Sakuya | Haa, haa.... |
| Izumi | Sakuya-kun!? Are you still practising at this hour!? |
| Sakuya | Ah, Director, good work for today... |
| Izumi | It's not the time to say that, it's already midnight, you know!? You still have school tomorrow, get some rest. |
| Sakuya | But just a little bit more... |
| Izumi | No. It's the director's order. It'd be meaningless if your body breaks down. |
| Sakuya | ....Understood. |
| Izumi | You can skip morning practice tomorrow. Good night. |
| Sakuya | ....Good night. |
| Izumi | ..... |
| (It'll be a week since we started the sword practice... As I thought, maybe this is difficult for Sakuya-kun.) |
| (He's doing his best, but doing all this stuff when he has no experience is hard. Besides, he also has a heavier responsibility as the protagonist.) |
| |
| Tsuzuru | Oi, Sakuya, are you okay? |
| Sakuya | I'm fine. |
| Citron | You look froggy. |
| Tsuzuru | It's groggy. |
| Izumi | (I've already told him to skip the morning practice, and yet...) |
| Sakuya | Haa, haa... |
| Izumi | .... |
| (It's no good. If we keep going on like this, Sakuya-kun will collapse.) |
| Come here, everyone. |
| Tsuzuru | What is it? |
| Masumi | What? |
| Izumi | I'm going to remove the sword fighting scene. |
| Sakuya | ...Eh? |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, yeah, I think that's a good idea. |
| Masumi | Why? |
| Izumi | It's too much for Sakuya-kun. If he breaks down just before our performance, it'll spoil everything. |
| Sakuya | I'm fine! I still can go on! |
| Citron | I agree that we should remove the scene. |
| Itaru | Yeah, I do think that pushing yourself is not good. |
| Masumi | I can do it. |
| Izumi | Yeah, but this scene will only work out if Sakuya-kun and Masumi-kun do well together. |
| Masumi | But you praised my sword fighting act. |
| Izumi | You two can do it in another play. |
| Masumi | We can change Romeo's actor. That way, the sword scene will work out. |
| Sakuya | ....! |
| Izumi | What are you sa——. |
| Sakuya | ....I don't want to. |
| Izumi | Sakuya-kun? |
| Sakuya | I don't want to! I absolutely won't give it to anyone! Romeo is my role! |
| Tsuzuru | Oi, calm down, Sakuya. |
| Sakuya | ——Ah, so-sorry. But I really don't want to give my Romeo role to someone else. |
| Izumi | (Sakuya-kun...) |
| I won't do that. |
| Tsuzuru | I've told you that I wrote Romeo based on your image, right. |
| Itaru | And you're too fussy, Masumi. |
| Masumi | .... |
| Sakuya | Please. I'll do my best, that's why——. |
| Izumi | Fine. I'll reconsider the sword fighting scene a little bit more. But if you continue doing unnecessary practice, I'll remove it. Health is also important for an actor. |
| Sakuya | ....Understood. |
| Izumi | That's all. Let's start the practice, guys. Sakuya-kun should just watch today. |
| Sakuya | ....Okay. |
| Izumi | (It's rare to see Sakuya-kun lose his composure like that. I guess maybe he's just attached to the Romeo role...) |
