Izumi Alice in Wonderland?
Tsuzuru There's no plot yet, but I want it to be the motif of Spring Troupe's next play.
Itaru And the cross dressing issue returns.
Sakuya When we did Romeo, Juliet was turned into a guy, right?
Izumi Never mind other characters, what do we do about Alice's image as a little girl?
Tsuzuru I was thinking of making Alice a male college student this time.
Izumi Oh! That's pretty new.
Tsuzuru I want to make Alice and the Mad Hatter's strange conversation the main point of the script.
Sakuya Their ways of thinking are tricky, so I think that's good!
Citron It is very popular in my country too, Ice in Wonderland!
Tsuzuru Sounds cold. It's Alice.
Masumi Hm...
Yuki What, doing Alice next?
Muku Are you talking about Spring Troupe's next play?
Izumi Ah, perfect timing.
Tsuzuru Here, the plot for Spring Troupe's next play.
Kazunari Heeey! That's neat. Who'll be doing Alice?
Yuki ...I can go all out for the costumes, right?
Muku Yuki-kun, your face is turning into a villain's!
Tsuzuru I got a bad feeling about this...
Yuki If you're talking about Alice then it has to be a loli costume. I'll thoroughly enjoy myself and make it adorable.
Sakuya A-adorable...?!
Itaru TY in advance for a level of adorable not impossible for a man in his 20s to wear.
Yuki You adjust, not the costume.
Itaru Too much pressure.
Kazunari Can't wait to design the flyer! Let's loli loli hype and get going.
Muku Has the cast already been decided?
Tsuruzu I was thinking Citron-san as the King of Hearts would be interesting.
Sakuya So the Queen became a King too.
Citron King...
Izumi What's wrong?
Tsuzuru You don't like it?
Citron It is not that. I just instinctively do not like people who act like they are celebrities.
Tsuzuru But a king is a celebrity.
Izumi Well, if there aren't any complaints, then Citron-kun as the King of Hearts is decided.
Sakuya They both have a big presence, so it's a perfect match!
Muku And they look majestic even just standing!
Izumi Mhm.
Tsuzuru Next are Alice and the Mad Hatter, but I'm kind of at a loss here.
Izumi Hmm, and they're the lead and second lead roles...
(Alice and the Mad Hatter's lines have an airy, aloof feeling.)
(Like the Mad Hatter's "A drink of my tea will wake you back up? I've never heard of such talk. Isn't that right, you all?"...)
(And Alice's "Who else have you been talking to all this time, when there's been no one here but us?"...)
If it's two people who have an image of talking indifferently with low energy, then I have a feeling Itaru-san and Masumi-kun might fit, but... What do you think?
Tsuzuru Aah, I get it. They really do fit.
Sakuya In that case, who will be Alice?
Itaru An Alice in his twenties, GG.
Izumi If it can't be Itaru, then maybe Masumi?
Tsuzuru If we think about the balance in ages, then that way will be better. The Mad Hatter can be Alice's college professor too.
Izumi Are you fine with that too, Masumi-kun?
Mazumi You're choosing me for the lead role?
Izumi Yes. Masumi-kun will be the leader, too.
(I'm a little worried about how he'll do in other aspects besides acting though, like if he can bring everyone together...)
Masumi ...I'll do it. I'll show you that you can fall for me again.
Izumi C-come again?
Tsuzuru The motive's as absurd as always...
Izumi Setting that latter part aside, good luck!
Masumi Alright.
Izumi With that, we're counting on you for the second lead role, Itaru-san!
Itaru Less time to play games...
Izumi Eeh~ You don't have to say such a thing...
Muku Waa, Yuki-kun, the costume designs are cute!
Yuki Though they're still rough sketches.
Kazunari Anyhow, the Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit gotta have ears~
Sakuya E-ears...
Tsuzuru Seriously...?
Itaru ...
Izumi Itaru-san, would you prefer another role?
Itaru ...No, the Mad Hatter's fine. Cat ears or bunny ears on a salaryman in his twenties is tough.
Tsuzuru It's hard for a college student in his teens too...
Izumi Now it's the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit but... Sakuya-kun, Tsuzuru-kun, which would you prefer?
Sakuya The White Rabbit's role is to guide Alice to Wonderland, so I think Tsuzuru-kun will fit.
Tsuzuru Cat ears and rabbit ears are two really extreme choices...
Itaru If it wasn't a male college student putting them on then they'd be two really heavenly choices.
Citron I am a fan of cat ears!
Tsuzuru Easy for you to say...
Masumi You're the one who decided the motif.
Tsuzuru Ugh...
Itaru Boomerang FTW.
Izumi So, the White Rabbit is Tsuzuru-kun. That makes Sakuya-kun the Cheshire Cat.
Sakuya Alright!
Tsuzuru Rabbit ears, huh...
Itaru GJ.
Masumi Alice in Wonderland... College student Alice... How do I portray that in a way that'll please her...?
Taichi Hm hm.
This month's feature is five guidelines for mature charm~ If I'm aiming for an older girl, then having a mature charm's the way to go~
Masumi ...
Taichi Mm?
Masumi Hand it over.
Taichi Eh?! W-wait, but I was still in the middle of reading!
Masumi ...
Five guidelines for mature charm...
