| Izumi | …… |
| Chairman | …… |
| Izumi | (H-How did things come down to this?) |
| Chairman | Do you dislike sushi? Or would young ones like you prefer meat? |
| Izumi | N-Not at all! |
| Chairperson | Please eat till your heart’s content. You must be hungry after a play like that. |
| Juza | Thanks. |
| Taichi | I-I’ll be digging in then! |
| Omi | Let’s eat. |
| Chairperson | You lot have no reason to be holding back! Eat as much as you want. I was extremely moved by your acting, in fact. |
| Izumi | (He must have really enjoyed the finale to be inviting us to his house…) |
| |
| Yakuza A | Hey, your act as Kojima wasn’t too shabby. It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a play but my heart kinda stung when you collapsed. |
| Taichi | That’s because Sakoda-san taught me many things! |
| Yakuza A | Ahh, I see. So it was Sakoda-nii who did that. |
| Izumi | (They might all look scary at first glance but they’re all surprisingly nice people.) |
| Banri | You bastard, don’t just go eating all the eggs. |
| Juza | Hah? I thought it was free for all? |
| Banri | At least pass me one of them. |
| Juza | ―― *gulp gulp* |
| Banri | You bastard――! |
| Yakuza A | Oh, a fight? Well, aren’t you guys spirited! |
| Yakuza B | Go ahead, get him! |
| Yakuza C | Come on, drink up! Or so I’d like to say but you’re all underage huh. |
| Yakuza A | You guys can take drinks, right? |
| Omi | Well, we’re technically legal. |
| Yakuza A | Alright, drink this sake here. It’s something you’ll rarely get a taste of out there. |
| Yakuza B | We’ll join you over here too. It’s actually one of the chairperson's prized wines! |
| Sakyo | Don’t drink too much. |
| Yakuza C | ‘Kay! |
| Ichiro | How about you have a cup too, nee-chan? |
| Izumi | Ittadakimasu. |
| Ichirou | This time’s play also ended with a great success, didn’t it? Only you could’ve achieved something like that. |
| Izumi | Thank you as always for being part of the ensemble cast, Akita-san. |
| Ichiro | Nah, that wasn’t much of a hassle to begin with. |
| Sakoda | What are you sayin’! Didn’t you play an active role contributing to this great success as well? You really made a great impact there! |
| Ichiro | Shut up. |
| Sakyo | Hey Sakoda, what happened to the young boss? |
| Sakoda | Well, you see… he hasn’t really been coming back here lately. I meet with him on a daily basis but he isn’t exactly on good terms with the boss… |
| Sakyo | Really, that guy’s just… |
| Izumi | (I wonder if the young boss refers to the chairperson’s son? It kinda seems like we’re still on the stage itself…) |
| |
| …Phew. |
| (I think I drank a little too much. Seems like I can sober up a little with the wind blowing through here.) |
| (This place has a really large yard…what an amazing apartment…) |
| Chairperson | Hey there, General Director-san. |
| Izumi | !? |
| Oh, h-hello… |
| Chairperson | You don’t have to be so hasty. |
| Izumi | (W-Well even if you say that…It’s hard not to be when one’s talking to the Yakuza boss…) |
| Chairperson | You’ve really dragged Sakyo into this Theatre Company of yours, haven’t you? |
| Izumi | Y-Yes…? |
| (Could he be angry…!?) |
| Chairperson | Thank you for doing that. |
| Izumi | …Huh? |
| Chairperson | He came to see me before he joined you all, saying that he might have to cut ties with us if it really comes down to it. |
| I knew that this would eventually happen from the moment I had him surrounded back in the past so I told him to do whatever he pleased so long as he doesn’t trouble the Theatre Company. |
| Never would I have thought that there would be a Theatre Company out there that would accept even people from the Yakuza. |
| Izumi | …W-Well, we do have many people from different walks of life in our Theatre Company and Sakyo-san’s passion for acting is some serious business too. |
| Chairperson | …I see. |
| He already had a foot in our world when I first met him. |
| It would have been alright if I directed him back to the right path from there but he seemed like the kind that would get lost in this way of life forever, you see. |
| I think that somewhere within my heart, I regretted being unable to live a right life and felt responsible to lead him back up the right way. |
| Well, I guess everyone feels the same no matter how minute. Though in his case, seemed to have something that he refused to give up on no matter what happened. |
| So I’m glad that he managed to get a hold of his dream once again. |
| Izumi | (He’s making an expression similar to the one Kashima-san made earlier…) |
| (I think that Sakyo-san might have been someone the chairman had looked after as if he was his own son ever since he was young…) |
| It seems like Sakyo-san has 3 families. One being his real blood-related family, the Theatre Company and everyone in the Ginsenkai… |
| Chairperson | Family huh… Haha, I don’t think that’s quite it. |
| Sakyo | ――Boss, Makita was looking for you. |
| Chairperson | Alright, tell him that I’ll be there soon. |
| I’m currently in the middle of a conversation with her asking if she’d join our ranks. |
| Sakyo | What!? |
| Izumi | Ahaha! I’ll really be a “nee-san” if that happens. |
| Chairperson | Please do take it into consideration. |
| Sakyo | …This doesn’t even pass for a joke, for crying out loud. |
| Izumi | The chairperson’s a really nice person, isn’t he? |
| Sakyo | He seems to be in really good spirits today but even I get scared whenever he snaps. |
| Izumi | Even you’ll get scared…? |
| (That sounds terrifying… even though he seemed like such a friendly person…) |
| He had on a fatherly look when he was talking about you though. |
| Sakyo | A father, huh… |
| I was single-handedly raised by a woman so I don’t know what a real father’s supposed to be like. |
| So people who I can compare to as a father are at most, him and… Yukio-san. |
| Izumi | Father… |
| Sakyo | Yukio-san treated everyone in the Theatre Company like family. He might be strict during practice but he was usually all smiles. |
| Izumi | (The strictness and seriousness Sakyo-san has during practice might be because of him watching my father conducting practices in the past…?) |
| So we’re all like your honorary younger siblings then? |
| Sakyo | …I don’t need a younger sister like you. |
| Izumi | Whaatt!? How mean! |
| Sakyo | It’d be boring if you were my younger sister, wouldn’t it? |
| Izumi | ? |
| Sakyo | …Oh right, about the money I saved for the apartment I had originally intended to purchase… |
| Izumi | Are you going to use it for something else? |
| Sakyo | No, I was thinking of keeping it just in case something crops up with the Theatre Company. |
| Though you’ve made some profit and all, you’re still originally a Theatre Company gone bankrupt. |
| Izumi | (We certainly don’t have the time to be taking things easy… There’s no guarantee when a problem will crop up either…) |
| Sakyo | We’ve been doing our utmost best just to feed everyone in the Theatre Company but they can also benefit more from things if we earned more profit. |
| Izumi | I’ll do my best to make that come to fruition as soon as possible! |
| Sakyo | In light of that, in addition to our usual plays, we should also re-perform our plays in places which have higher chances of garnering us higher sales and also hold fan-meetings… |
| How about collaborating with other Theatre Companies… etc... |
| Izumi | …I’ll be leaving that side of things to you! |
| Sakyo | Oi. |
| Izumi | It’s called putting the right person in charge of the right things! |
| I want to thank and repay everyone who worked their hardest when Theatre Company had been in the red. |
| I have to put in more effort than what I’m already doing for that to happen. |
| Sakyo | Right… |
| Izumi | Of course, I’ve thought of repaying you back as well, you know? |
| Even so, I was still worried that you might be leaving the Theatre Company since you were leaving the dorms. |
| Sakyo | …Are you an idiot? |
| I returned after having left once. Since you, the General Director asked of me so, I wouldn’t leave it for the second time. |
| I feel the same too, I have to repay everyone. |
| Like Yukio-san and everyone from the original MANKAI Company. For protecting this Theatre Company. |
| My filial piety has also been done. I’ll be putting all of my concentration into the Theatre Company from now on. Be prepared to work to the bone. |
| Izumi | I’ll be expecting it! |
