| Taichi | …… |
| Izumi | Taichi-kun, you’re next. |
| Taichi | Oh, sorry! |
| Izumi | (He seems to be zoning out…not just Taichi-kun, nobody seems to be able to concentrate.) |
| (Maybe they can’t get into it because Sakyo-san’s not here? But it isn’t all that rare for the lead actor to not be present during practices…) |
| How about we take a little break? |
| Juza | ‘Kay. |
| Izumi | I’ll go get some drinks. |
| Omi | …… |
| Taichi | I wonder why Sakyo-nii’s going to apartment viewings…? |
| Banri | Thinking about it logically, he’s going to them because he plans on buying an apartment. |
| Omi | In other words, you mean he plans to move away? |
| Juza | So he’s going to leave the dorms huh… |
| Taichi | But why all of a sudden!? |
| Banri | Oh―…Maybe because of marriage for example? |
| Taichi | Ehh!? He was dating someone!? |
| Banri | I don’t know. There’s only so many reasons one can list down in regards to the reason behind buying an apartment. |
| Omi | …Or that he had a kid or something of the sort. |
| Taichi | Ehhh!? |
| Omi | It’s just a speculation at the very least. |
| Juza | Then, what does he intend to do about his role in this theatre company? |
| Omi | I can’t say for sure about the theatre company if he really does go off, get married and have a child. |
| Banri | Something like, him playing the lead role this time is his way of calling it quits? |
| Taichi | Ehhh…!! |
| Omi | Well, for good or for worse, these are only what we imagine it to be. Wouldn’t it be best to ask the guy himself when it comes to things like this? |
| Banri | But Sakoda-san did say that it was a secret, didn’t he? |
| Juza | So that means he didn’t want us to know about it huh… |
| Banri | Well, that’s that if he really leaves. He wouldn’t tell us off for being noisy so wouldn’t it be easier to live our lives like that? |
| Taichi | People would normally feel really sad and lonely… |
| Juza | Are you an idiot? There’s no way that would be a good thing. |
| Banri | …It was obviously a joke. |
| Sakyo | Sorry I’m late. |
| Taichi | !! |
| Juza | ―― |
| Sakyo | What’s with you guys? |
| Omi | Nothing at all, we were just in the middle of a break and―― |
| Sakyo | ? I see. |
| |
| Izumi | …… |
| (Hmm, as I thought, no one’s been able to concentrate ever since yesterday. It feels as if their hearts are all somewhere else…) |
| (The situation didn’t change even when Sakyo-san was around so that means that he isn’t the cause of it either.) |
| (I’d understand if it was just one person but I wonder what happened for everyone aside from him to be acting strangely…) |
| Sakyo | Hyodo, I thought I had told you to take notice of the same part yesterday as well. |
| Juza | ――Yes. |
| Sakyo | Nanao, you haven’t fixed your issue either. |
| Taichi | I’m sorry! |
| Sakyo | ――If you have something to say then say it out loud and clear. |
| Banri | It’s not like we have anything to say, it’s more of―― |
| Sakyo | What is it? |
| Banri | No, it’s nothing. |
| Sakyo | ―― |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san, let’s take a little break―― |
| Sakyo | There’s no meaning continuing on like this. Everyone, call it quits now if you don’t have the motivation to carry on. |
| Juza | …… |
| Omi | …… |
| Sakyo | Am I the only one who wishes to make our next play the best out of all our previous ones? |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san―― |
| Sakyo | …Tch. |
| Izumi | (Everyone was proceeding with a really good pace beforehand. I really wonder what’s wrong for everyone to be acting like this…) |
| |
| Juza | …… |
| Banri | …… |
| Sakyo | …Thank you for the food. |
| Taichi | U-Um, Sakyo-nii――! |
| Sakyo | Ahh? |
| Taichi | !! |
| N-Nothing… |
| Banri | …… |
| Juza | …… |
| Sakyo | Tch. I’m leaving for today. |
| |
| Sakyo | …… |
| Omi | Oh, I’ll do the washing up. You’re in a rush, aren’t you? |
| Sakyo | Sorry about this. |
| Omi | …You’re out on work today again? |
| Sakyo | No, not today. |
| Omi | ―― |
| Sakyo | What is it? |
| Omi | …It’s nothing |
| Sakyo | …… |
| |
| Sakyo | For crying out loud, each and every one of them… |
| Banri | …… |
| Sakyo | Haa, it’s you this time round huh… |
| If you have anything to say, say it loud and clear. It’s annoying for you to be staring at me so intently like that. |
| Banri | If you’re gonna be deciding something important, don’t just bottle it up all on your own and come consult us too. |
| Sakyo | Ah? |
| Banri | Come on, I’m the leader too. Me. I’m kinda like your boss if you have to put it that way. |
| Sakyo | …What’s with that. |
| Well, it’s a good thing that you’re aware of yourself being the leader. I’ll keep it in mind. |
| Banri | …… |
| |
| Sakyo | …… |
| (I had never initially thought that Settsu would go off saying something like that.) |
| (I don’t know what he’s getting all worried about but if he’s thinking into things that much, it means that…) |
| (But still, what was that? Even though I told him that if he had something to say, he should say it loud and clear.) |
| …… |
| (No, there are things that would be hard for him to say too. It’s impossible for him to be able to talk about everything to an old man who’s technically 10 years older than him.) |
| (Even if it was something that people close to his age would understand one way or another, I probably wouldn’t.) |
| (I have no choice but to to pick up on whatever’s going on as soon as possible…) |
