Act 5
Episode 24: Demand for a Confession
Previous Main Story Next
Izumi“You’re surrounded! Give up and turn yourself in!”
Chikage....
Izumi“Hmph. Like hell I’ll get caught.”
Chikage....
Izumi“Wha––a hot air balloon!?”
ChikageYou’re distracting me from my job.
Izumi“Chase him! Don’t let him go!”
ChikageShut up.
IzumiI’ll shut up if you practice with me, Chikage-san.
Chikage...Just once, then.
Izumi“Who are you, sir?”
Chikage“My name is Oswa––Oz.”
Izumi“Sir Oz... The great wizard Oz!”
Chikage“Wizard?”
IzumiTry saying that line a bit more bluntly.
Chikage“Wizard?”
IzumiSounds good! A lot better than before.
(I thought so. Chikage-san’s coldness makes him a much better Oswald. His emotions are more apparent, too.)
ChikageI’m not going to stand on stage anyway. What’s the point of practice?
IzumiI will definitely make you perform.
ChikageHow.
IzumiWell... I’m going to make you want to stand on stage no matter what, Chikage-san, and....
ChikageThere’s no way I’ll want to.
IzumiI will make you want to!
Chikage...You really are an idiot.
Izumi——.
(Did he just smile...? This is the first time I’ve seen him smile like that.)
Chikage——.
...That’s the end of practice.
Izumi(I didn’t know that Chikage-san was someone who could smile so gently...)
(I’m sure he must have smiled like that back when he was with Hisoka-san and “August.”)
(Maybe “revenge” is what changed Chikage-san.)
(I don’t know what happened in Hisoka-san’s past, but...)
(I don’t think he killed August; there must have been a mistake somewhere.)
(There must have been some other circumstances; Hisoka-san isn’t someone who would do something like that without reason.)
(If only they could make peace with one another. I want Chikage-san to regain that smile I just saw...)
...Nn.
Yaaawn....
(How many days has it been since I was taken here...)
(This is bad. It’s almost the first day of the performance. How is everyone doing? They haven’t fallen apart like Chikage-san said they would, right...)
(No, there’s no way that would happen. I’m sure they’re all working together to prepare for the stage.)
(All that’s left is for me to take Chikage-san there—.)
....
(If the lead doesn’t make it back in time for the first day, we’ll be in trouble.)
(We’ll have to reimburse our guests, and we’ll be betraying our fans who were looking forward to it.)
(We might lose the fans who have supported us up till now. I have to avoid that at all costs....)
Chikage....
Izumi(Chikage-san is the same as usual, but I think I understand him a little better than before.)
(I don’t know why, but there are moments where Chikage-san’s true personality shows through in his expressions.)
(Chikage-san might not be fully determined to get his “revenge.” If that’s the case, there might be an opportunity—.)
*Knock knock knock*
Chikage——.
Izumi!?
ChikageStay still. Don’t talk.
*Knock knock*
*Knock knock knock*
...So you remembered the signal.
*Door opens*
After all this time—what did you come here for?
???I remember everything.
ChikageAnd?
???I came to talk.
Izumi(This voice....)
ChikageCome in.
Hisoka....
IzumiHisoka-san!!
Hisoka...Don’t worry. I’ll definitely save you.
(He came to save me...!)
ChikageNow confess your crime. I will administer justice after that.
Hisoka....
That day—....
