| Juza | .... |
| Banri | ...Oi. |
| Juza | .... |
| Banri | Oi! |
| Juza | ...Aah? |
| Banri | How many round trips are you gonna make between the kitchen and the table holding your bowl!? Go serve yourself! |
| Juza | I haven't made any round trips—. |
| Banri | That was the eighth one! You're too restless! |
| Juza | ——. |
| Omi | Well, it's his little brother's audition. Of course he's going to be distracted. |
| Taichi | I hope he gets in! |
| Sakyo | He's spirited, unlike a certain somebody when he first joined. He should be fine. |
| Banri | ...Wonder who that certain somebody is~. |
| Sakyo | Yeah, I sure wonder. |
| |
| Kumon | ...Suu, haa—. I'm fine... I'm fine... |
| Izumi | .... |
| (Kumon-kun looks nervous. I hope he can perform as he usually does...) |
| Yuki | "You're la~te~...." |
| Muku | "Sorry~, did I make you wait!?" |
| Yuki | "If you're gonna be late, send me a LIME. I have a nail appointment today." |
| Izumi | !? |
| Kumon | Y-you guys...? |
| Muku | "I'm sorry~! Where's everyone else?" |
| Yuki | "They're not here yet." |
| Muku | "Eh, really!?" |
| Izumi | (A-are they performing an etude?) |
| Kazunari | "Sorry~, did you wait~!?" |
| Misumi | "I'm late!" |
| Tenma | "Both of you are way too late~!" |
| Kumon | !?!?!? |
| Misumi | "I just couldn't get my curls down~. This sucks~!" |
| Yuki | "Let's go. We're going to run out of time to put on our yukatas." |
| Kazunari | "I'm so hyped for the festival~! I hope I find some handsome guys~!" |
| Tenma | "Kazuko, what about your boyfriend?" |
| Kazunari | "We broke up already ☆" |
| Misumi | "So fast. Oh, by the way, I got a boyfriend." |
| Muku | "Eeh!?" |
| Kazunari | "No way! When!? What kinda guy is he!?" |
| Yuki | "Leave that for later!" |
| Kazunari | "Ah~ wait for me~!" |
| Kumon | .... |
| Muku | K-Kyu-chan...? |
| Tenma | Oi, are you okay.... |
| Kumon | Pfft, ahahahaha! You guys are so good at playing girls! You're adorable...! |
| Yuki | Of course. |
| Muku | We have experience, after all. |
| Kazunari | That was my first time playing a girl, but I might actually be good at this~? |
| Misumi | It was fun~! |
| Kazunari | Same~! |
| Kumon | Fun.... |
| Tenma | Did that help you relax a little? |
| Kumon | ——. |
| Tenma | You're not great anyway, so don't think too hard about it. |
| Yuki | Exactly. Nobody knows how to act from the start. |
| Muku | It's normal not to know! |
| Kazunari | Be confident, Kumopi! |
| Misumi | Here, hold your God-Sankaku-kun~! You'll be fine now! |
| Kumon | —Yeah! |
| Izumi | (Everyone was trying to help Kumon-kun relax...) |
| Okay then, let's get started! |
| Kumon | Yes! |
| |
| Kumon | "I'm your nii-chan, so! I'll protect you till the end!" |
| "I won't lose to the dragon! So long as I have this legendary sword...!" |
| Izumi | .... |
| (His acting still needs a lot of work... but compared to when he first arrived, it's much more like a performance.) |
| (Most importantly, he's really passionate about acting. I want to act, I want to act—those feelings really come across.) |
| (His eyes are sparkling... and he draws you in. It feels like watching Sakuya-kun on the stage for the first time.) |
| Kumon | —That's all! |
| Izumi | .... |
| Kumon | U-um...? |
| Izumi | You're accepted. |
| Kumon | Eh!? A-accepted!? Really!? |
| Izumi | Yes. Let's get along from now on as well, Kumon-kun! |
| Kumon | Yaaay! |
| Tenma | I was your teacher, so of course it went well. |
| Muku | Congratulations, Kyu-chan! |
| Kazunari | Gratz, Kumopi! Welcome to MANKAI Company! |
| Misumi | I'm so glad, Kumon~! |
| Yuki | Well, you made it past the first hurdle. |
| Kumon | Thanks, everyone! |
| |
| Juza | .... |
| Izumi | (Huh? Juza-kun...?) |
| Juza | .... |
| Izumi | (He probably came because he was worried. Juza-kun seems happy that Kumon-kun was accepted.) |
| |
| Izumi | Once again, Kumon-kun, congratulations on joining the troupe~! Let's get along! |
| Banri | Another daikon is gonna grow in the Autumn Troupe fields, huh.... |
| Juza | Aah? |
| Izumi | Err, well then, Kumon-kun! Do you have any words for the troupe? |
| Kumon | Uh, um, I still suck at acting and don't know anything, but I'll do my best, so please take care of me! |
| I was really nervous for today's audition, so I didn't know if things would turn out okay, but thanks to everyone in Summer Troupe, I managed to perform as usual. |
| Tenma-san and the rest of Summer Troupe really took good care of me during practice, and I had so much fun, that I—. |
| I.... |
| Izumi | ? |
| Kumon | —I want to join Summer Troupe! |
| Tenma | What? |
| Juza | Kumon.... |
| Kumon | The act that Summer Troupe put on before my audition was so much fun that it blew away all my anxiety. |
| The moment I laughed, every bit of nervousness left my body. I was so amazed. |
| I want to make people laugh like that. I want to cheer people up through theater! I want to make them happy! |
| That's why, I... can I? |
| I know I sound selfish after making fun of comedy like that, but... I.... |
| Tenma | I'll train you thoroughly. |
| Kumon | ——. |
| Muku | Of course you're welcome here! |
| Yuki | You apparently have a Summer Troupe aura anyway. I think it's a good fit. |
| Kazunari | Let's get along, Kumopi! |
| Misumi | Kumon is one of us! |
| Izumi | Then Kumon-kun is a member of Summer Troupe! |
| Banri | So he's gonna join Summer Troupe then. |
| Juza | I think it'll be good for him. |
| Banri | That's what you say, but you're actually a little lonely, right? |
| Juza | .... |
| Banri | So you're not denying it. |
| Sakyo | He gets his brocon from his older brother. |
