| Itaru | Good morning. |
| Female Employee A | Ah! Chigasaki-san! I watched the TV program! |
| Itaru | The TV program? |
| Female Employee B | I didn't know you joined a theatre company! |
| Itaru | Ah——Well, yeah, I actually did. |
| Female Employee A | Are there any tickets left? We plan to come and watch it. |
| Itaru | Yeah, I think there are some. |
| Female Employee A | What a relief! Then, I'll buy four tickets! |
| Itaru | Thanks. I'll arrange it immediately. |
| Female Employee A | Waa~, he's so cool. |
| Female Employee B | He's like a total hottie, right~. |
| |
| Sakuya | Ah, you're here! Have you eaten lunch yet, Masumi-kun? |
| Masumi | Not yet. |
| Sakuya | Do you want to go to the cafeteria together, then? There's something I want to consult with you too. |
| Masumi | ....Okay. |
| Female Student A | Masumi-kuun! I bought a ticket—! Good luck—! |
| Sakuya | !? |
| Masumi | .... |
| Female Student A | Kyaa—! He looked this way! |
| Sakuya | A, amazing. Is it someone from your fanclub? |
| Masumi | ...Dunno. |
| |
| Izumi | (We sold a lot of tickets after the coverage aired, but the ones for the final performance haven't sold out yet..) |
| And there's only one week remaining. What should I do... |
| (If there's even one empty seat, this theatre will...) |
| Yes? |
| Masumi | It's me. |
| Izumi | What brings you here at this time, Masumi-kun? |
| Masumi | .....What do you think of me these days? |
| Izumi | How should I put it, huh, I think you're good. |
| Masumi | Seriously? |
| Izumi | Even Yuzo-san praised you, right? |
| Masumi | I don't care about that old man. I do this for you. |
| Izumi | For me, huh... that's not good. |
| Masumi | ....Eh? |
| Izumi | You have to aim for your own growth instead of getting praise from——. |
| Masumi | ——. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun!? |
| I guess I'm being too forceful... |
| (It's already late, so I shall talk to him tomorrow.) |
| |
| Izumi | Morning, Masumi-kun. I want to talk about last night——. |
| Masumi | ——. |
| Izumi | Wait, Masumi-kun! |
| Sakuya | Huh, Masumi-kun, how about the morning practice!? |
| Masumi | I'm going to school. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun.... |
| Tsuzuru | What's with that guy? |
| Citron | To think that Masumi would ignore Director, it will brain tomorrow. |
| Tsuzuru | It's rain. |
| Sakuya | I'm worried, so I'll go to school together with him. |
| Izumi | Yeah, I'll leave it to you. |
| |
| Izumi | Can we talk for a bit, Masumi-kun? |
| Masumi | .... |
| Izumi | Hey, Masumi-kun. |
| Masumi | .... |
| Izumi | .... |
| Tsuzuru | Good grief, are you some sulky brat or something? |
| Izumi | (Oh, geez. The performance day is getting closer, and if we can't solve this situation, it'll be bad for the play as well.) |
| Tsuzuru | Ah! That's right! |
| Izumi | ? |
| Tsuzuru | Now that I think about it, we ran out of ingredients for dinner! Director, can you go buy some eggs? |
| Izumi | Eh? But we still have eggs in the refrig——. |
| Tsuzuru | We ran out! Hey, Masumi-kun should help Director carry the bags! |
| Masumi | .... |
| Izumi | (Is Tsuzuru-kun doing this on purpose?) |
| Thanks, Tsuzuru-kun. I'm going then. |
| Tsuzuru | Be careful~! |
| |
| Masumi | .... |
| Izumi | .... |
| (He doesn't talk as usual, and he even looks away...) |
| Masumi-kun, about last night——. |
| Female Student B | Huh!? Isn't it Masumi-kun!? |
| We can really see him in this place. Lucky—! |
| Female Student A | Let's shake hands, Masumi-kun! |
| Izumi | !? |
| Masumi | ...You're in the way. |
| Female Student A | Good luck on your performance! We'll support you! |
| Female Student B | We'll invite our friends to go watch it! |
| Izumi | Are they Masumi-kun fans? |
| Female Student A | Who is this old lady? A manager? |
| Izumi | Old——? |
| (No no, I have to hold back. They are our precious audience.) |
| I'm the president and director from the theatre where Masumi-kun works. |
| Female Student B | Heeh! So you're the Director, old lady? |
| Female Student A | I thought she was the manager! |
| Female Student B | By director, you mean you're the one who hired Masumi-kun? |
| Izumi | Yup, that's right. |
| Female Student A | And aren't you a little too close to Masumi-kun? |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Female Student B | Isn't it totally that? Abuse of authority? |
| Female Student A | Ew, you're already old and yet you aim at high school boys. Just give up! |
| Female Student B | Shouldn't we report it to the police? |
| Izumi | ——. |
| Masumi | You guys——. |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun, don't...! |
| ——ugh. |
| Female Student A | Huh? What? |
| Masumi | ——. |
| Sorry. I didn't mean to hit you——. |
| Izumi | ...I'm fine. |
| Female Student B | Umm, did we say something weird? |
| Izumi | I didn't scout Masumi-kun just because of his good looks. You'll know once you see him performing. Please look forward to it. |
| Female Student A | ——Ah, yes. |
| Female Student B | And sorry. |
| Female Student A | Let's go. |
| Masumi | ..... |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun? |
| Masumi | ..... |
| Izumi | (I intended to make up with him, but I feel like it's just getting worse.) |
| Let's go back to the dorm, Masumi-kun. |
