Manager | Tickets! Are! All! Sold! Out! |
Izumi | Congratulations! |
Omi | Thank goodness. We can relax a bit now. |
Banri | Now all we have to do is make the real thing a success. |
Juza | We gotta do our best. |
Sakyo | We sold out faster than usual because the audience has high expectations. So keep in mind that our hurdle is higher than Summer’s or Spring’s. |
Juza | Yeah. |
Banri | Well, it'll work out somehow. Actually, we’ll make it work out. |
Izumi | For now, let’s focus our energy on tomorrow's dress rehearsal! |
| |
Izumi | (This is our last practice performance before the dress rehearsal. Outfits, props, lighting—everything is set up like the real performance. We need to check all of it.) |
| A little brighter here, please. The outfits are darker than usual, so they don’t stand out as much. |
Staff | Yes. |
Banri | “I thought—I thought you were a pretty good guy, you know?” |
Juza | “That's your fault. I'm not the kind of man you think I am.” |
Banri | “Fuck this, lemme slug you!” |
Juza | “If you can get out of there, then sure.” |
Banri | “You’re dead for real!” |
| |
Izumi | Juza-kun, you exited the stage too quickly. Make sure you wait until the lights are out. Banri-kun, you too—be careful around the wings. |
Banri | What do you mean by “be careful”? What was wrong with what we just did? |
Izumi | Even if the lights are out, the audience can see your movements. |
| Don't just zip off stage as fast as you can—make sure you stay in character until you're fully out of sight behind the curtains. |
Banri | I see. |
Juza | That’s pretty complicated. |
Izumi | You only notice these little details during the real performance, so let's learn from them now, one at a time. |
Juza | Yeah. |
Banri | Al~righty. |
Izumi | But Taichi-kun, despite having no experience, your movements were perfect for the real performance. Well done. |
Taichi | Eh!? |
Banri | Taichi, you're amazing. Did old man Yuzo teach you or something? |
Taichi | No, no, it's just beginner's luck~. Haha.... |
Izumi | ....? |
| (I praised him, but he doesn’t look too happy. I wonder what’s wrong...) |
| Okay then, next scene—. |
| |
Banri | That's all for today. Let's reflect on our mistakes from today, and make sure tomorrow's dress rehearsal goes without a hitch. |
| Meeting over! |
Izumi | Be sure to go to bed early so you get enough rest for tomorrow. |
Juza | Yeah. |
Banri | Al~right. |
Taichi | Well, I'm heading to bed now. |
Banri | Already? It's so early. |
Taichi | I'm a little exhausted from practice today. |
Sakyo | ...Make sure you rest up. |
Izumi | See you tomorrow. Good night. |
Taichi | ....Good night. |
Omi | —Ah, oh no, I took this with me. |
Izumi | Is that an accessory? We don’t want to lose it, so I'll bring it back to the theatre. |
Omi | Sorry, thanks. |
| |
Izumi | (Um, where's Omi-kun's outfit....) |
| !? |
| What is this..... |
| (The outfit is torn to shreds...) |
| This one, and this one too....! |
| Who would do this—!? |
| (Tomorrow is our dress rehearsal. I have to let everyone know now—!) |
| |
Izumi | Guys! |
Banri | What's wrong, Director-chan? |
Sakyo | You, what’s that... |
Izumi | —The outfits are in pieces. |
Juza | Who would do that—. |
Banri | Hey, I found this in a pocket. |
| ”Cancel the performance,” huh. |
Yuki | —Hey, what’s that. |
Izumi | Yuki-kun.... |
Yuki | ....Unforgivable. |
Banri | I can't believe someone would do this to Yuki's outfits. |
Juza | Whoever did this is dead when we find them. |
Banri | Yeah. |
Sakyo | But what are we doing about the dress rehearsal tomorrow? |
Izumi | What should we do... what can we replace the outfits with... |
Yuki | Director. Give me one day. I'll make them again. I'll definitely finish in time for the real thing. |
Izumi | But—. |
Yuki | I won't have anyone standing on stage with half-finished outfits. |
| I’m not losing to this kind of harassment. I'll definitely send them out on stage with perfect outfits. |
Izumi | —All right. |
| Manager, cancel the public dress rehearsal! Please get in contact immediately! |
Manager | Y-yes! |
Sakyo | Let me know if you need anything. |
Yuki | I want suits to use as a base. I don't care where they're from—they can be domestically produced or new. |
Sakyo | Sakoda! |
Sakoda | Yessir! |
Sakyo | Go to a 24-hour gentleman’s suit store and get one for everyone. |
Sakoda | Aye aye sir! |
Sakyo | Make it fast. |
Sakoda | I'll get them in ten minutes, aniki! |
Izumi | We'll help out too. |
Juza | What should I do. |
Omi | I can sew a little, too. |
Banri | I can do everything, so. I've never used a sewing machine, but I'll learn in no time. |
Yuki | Excellent. |
Juza | This is the first time that skill of yours has been useful. |
Banri | ...Hmph. |
Yuki | If you're clumsy, collect the torn pieces and line them up. Give me the most damaged ones first. |
Izumi | (Please, make it in time...) |
