Previous Main Story Next
SakuyaI wonder what this company-wide meeting is going to be about?
MasumiWho knows.
Banri....
Juza....
BanriSit over there. I’m sick of being close to you in our room.
JuzaThen you go over there.
BanriAaah?
TaichiHey, hey! Ban-chan! Let's sit over there~!
OmiJuza, you come this way.
Banri....
Juza....
ItaruIsn't this our first time meeting across troupes?
CitronI bet we're going to play a bingo game!
ItaruI doubt it....
CitronI'm going to aim to win the deserted island!
ItaruThat’s too big of a scale.
MisumiLots of people~.
KazunariEveryone’s here—does that mean this is an Autumn Troupe welcome meeting?
MukuBut we did one yesterday night?
KazunariIt's daytime, so maybe it’s a takoyaki party!
Izumi(Sakyo-san said he wanted to hold a company-wide meaning regarding the regulations of the troupe, but... I wonder what he means by regulations.)
Sakyo....Is everyone here? Then let's begin.
So, upon joining this troupe, I have something to say to you all. —Sakoda.
SakodaYessir!
Izumi(What's with that paper....)
OmiThe new slogan of MANKAI Company...?
CitronMiso・Konnyaku・Celery Lifestyle....?
SakyoSimple・Frugal・Saving Lifestyle.
SakodaListen up! This is the slogan aniki made! Written by me, Sakoda Ken!
KazunariWhy so suddenly?
MukuI wonder if we’re on a tight budget?
SakyoFirst. Each troupe gets 20 minutes to bathe.
SakuyaEh!? 20 minutes!?
ItaruWhat is this, the military.....
MasumiI can't bathe with five people. I'll bathe with Director.
IzumiRejected!
SakyoRejected.
Next. Lights will be out at 10 PM. I'll be switching off the circuit breaker, so assume you can’t use electricity from then on.
ItaruSeriously? There goes my late-night anime.
KazunariThat’s way too early!!
SakyoAnd then... et cetera, et cetera.... we're saving here and there... cutting this and that.....
Izumi(His saving plans are incredibly detailed....!)
Isn't this going to be impossible.....?
KazunariSeriously, it’s impossible!
ItaruThis is tyranny.
MisumiThis is troublesome~.
SakyoShut up!
Do you know how much the electricity, water, and heating bills cost for this dorm!?
Izumi(Is it that much?)
Manager, how much is it?
Manager....I wonder?
IzumiYou don't know!?
ManagerI've never paid the bills, but one of the seven mysteries of this dorm is that we've never been charged for them!
IzumiNo, you shouldn’t leave that as a mystery!?
Sakyo....Check in on it immediately.
OmiNormally, they'd stop the water and electricity if we didn't pay the bills.
IzumiYeah.
(Does this mean someone has been paying our bills for us...?)
SakyoLet me remind you. This company owes my group ten million yen.
If you can't pay us back by the deadline, we'll crush this troupe without a second thought. You haven’t forgotten that, right?
ManagerEeeeh!? But, that was before Furuichi-san joined the troupe... Now that we're teammates, doesn't that nullify our debts....
SakyoLike hell that’d happen!
Izumi(I thought maybe he’d make things a bit easier on us, but I guess I was too hopeful....)
ManagerIs there still a lot of debt left to pay?
SakyoThe spring and summer performances helped a little, but we still have a long way to go.
How exactly do you plan on repaying the rest of your debts? Director-san, Manager Matsukawa, do you have any ideas?
IzumiU, ummm...
(The only thing on my mind was completing all the performances up to the Winter Troupe....!)
ManagerThe Fleur Award!
IzumiEh?
ManagerIt's the greatest theatre award in Japan, given to the best show that year! Its prize is ten million yen—enough money to repay all our debts!
SakyoHow do you expect this run-down company to get that award!? Even the first generation only made it to the nomination.
IzumiEven the first generation...
(Considering our current skill level, we probably won’t even be nominated....)
ItaruNo-win game.
ManagerOh no... Then what should we do?
SakyoNation-wide performances.
IzumiNation-wide performances?
SakyoWe’ll make a profit by hosting MANKAI Company’s first performances for each season at different local theatres across the country.
IzumiAh, I see. That way, when one troupe is performing at MANKAI Theatre, the other troupes can perform at other locations.
KazunariWow! A vacation across the country! I'm so hype~!
CitronWe can toil!
ItaruTour, yeah.
ManagerThat’s an idea~! The first generation did the same thing!
SakyoAside from than that, we should hold fan events, and sell goods, because those are likely to generate profits.
More specifically.... et cetera, et cetera.
Izumi(Incredible. He's already thinking about goods and fan meetings in such detail.....)
ManagerWow~! Our financial adviser and manager is incredible, as expected! So reliable!
SakyoSince when was I.
ManagerEh? That's what he is, right, Director?
IzumiEh? Umm, yes.
SakyoGeez....
Izumi(His job is being forced onto him the same way mine was....)
SakyoWell, putting aside debts and whatnot, I do think we should aim for it.
IzumiFor what?
SakyoThe Fleur Award. It’s a level your father couldn't reach.
Izumi(Now that he mentions it, I recall getting a phone call from father when I was in middle school about a nomination for the Fleur Award....)
(I’d never heard him sound so excited. It really must be an amazing award.)
(Though in the end, he disappeared the very next year....)
ManagerIn Veludo Town, rumor is that GOD-za, led by Kamikizaka Reni, is most likely to win the next Fleur award.
YukiGOD-za... the place with that nasty guy, huh.
KazunariLet's aim to be even better than GOD-za!
CitronYeah—!
MisumiYeah—!
OmiDebts, huh... then we’ve got to do our best too, Autumn Troupe.
JuzaYeah.
BanriWell, it'll work out somehow.
Taichi......
SakyoWell, our first goal is to pull off Autumn and Winter Troupe’s performances.
IzumiYou’re right...
(The Fleur Award comes way after that...!)
