| Izumi | So this is Veludo Way... |
| (Apparently I’ve been here when I was little, but I don’t remember it at all.) |
| (It’s been several years since my father went missing. I still haven’t found any clues despite my search...) |
| (But I can’t give up after all. There may be some clues here, in this town where dad lived.) |
| (My mother allowed me go to the city on the condition that I became the landlord of the apartment my father managed, but...) |
| ...I hope I can find some clues there. |
| The apartment is... Let’s see. It should be just a little farther that way, according to the map. |
| |
| Izumi | (This is the apartment my father managed...? How cute and stylish.) |
| (For starters, I’ll head in. Someone should be home.) |
| *ding dong* |
| ??? | Coming! |
| *door opens* |
| Izumi | Ah, hello. I’ll be the landlord of this apartment starting today. My name is Tachibana. |
| Cheerful Young Man | So I’ve heard! Please come in. |
| |
| Izumi | (Is this the communal space? It’s super crowded.) |
| (There sure is quite a lot of people living here... And it looks like all of them are guys...) |
| A Girl-like Boy? | ? Who’s that. |
| Man With Round Glasses | ...A girl? |
| Izumi | I will be in your care starting today. I’m Tachibana Izumi. It’s nice to meet you. |
| Young Man With a Mysterious Air | Huh~ It’s the landlord~! |
| Composed Man | Nice to meet you. |
| Young Man With Brightly-Coloured Hair | Landlord? |
| Young Man With Piercings | Didn’t hear anything about that. |
| Dark-Haired Young Man | Hmm... |
| Young Man With A Sharp Gaze | ...Sorry, but I’m about to head out. |
| Man With A Peculiar Air | I have recording today as well. I’m sorry but I must excuse myself. I shall introduce myself properly some other day. |
| Sleepy-Looking Man | I’m going back to sleep... |
| Izumi | Ah... |
| *door closes* |
| ...Everyone left. |
| Cheerful Young Man | I’m sorry... It looks like everyone’s busy... I’ll organize something where everyone can introduce themselves properly some other time. |
| This apartment has four floors, with 24 residents each having one room to themselves. |
| It also has a communal space, so it almost feels like we’re housemates. |
| By the way, everyone here is an actor in addition to their main job. And it’s small, but there’s even a stage in the courtyard! |
| Izumi | I see... |
| Thanks for informing me, umm... |
| Sakuya | Ah, I’m sorry! My name is Sakuma Sakuya! |
| I’ve only just started, but I work as an actor in hero shows and such.[1] |
| Izumi | I see! It’s nice to meet you. |
| Sakuya | Yes, same here! |
| I’m sorry, but I actually have something to do after this too... |
| But apparently your room is ready, so please relax and feel at home! |
| Well then, let’s chat again later. I’m off! |
| Izumi | Ah, yes, see you later. |
| *door closes* |
| (An apartment with 24 residents, huh... My new life starts here from now on——) |
