| Yuki | ......We've arrived, but they still haven't come from behind us. |
| Banri | It should be fine if we go on ahead? I don't want to cop the punishment game. |
| Say, you had a hand in that too, didn't you. |
| Yuki | ーーI guess. |
| Banri | Make no mistake, last place in our team's going to be Itaru-san. |
| Yuki | Honestly, that punishment game might be tough for someone past twenty. |
| Staff | Ohh! MANKAI Company's Team A, which has earned an overwhelming number of points, has arrived! |
| Can they reach the goal first too!? |
| Yuki | Then with this, we've reached the goal first ーー. |
| ??? | Wait! |
| Yuki | !? |
| Banri | Ah? |
| Aaron | Hehe......We lost with the judge's approval, but we won't hand this over. Circle round the goal tape and let's have an etude battle! |
| Yuki | Huhh? What are you saying ーー. |
| Staff | Ohh~!? Right before the goal, an etude battle breaks out! |
| Yuki | Hold on ーー. |
| Audience Member A | Seriously!? This is super exciting! |
| Audience Member B | We can see them act again!? Yay! |
| Audience Member C | Nice! Do it, do it~! |
| Banri | Oi oi, you've gotta be kidding me. |
| Yuki | In the first place, we've only got two people. |
| Aaron | Hehe, it'll be a special 2v2. The winners can cut the goal tape first. Good, right? |
| Banri | Tch......it's a pain, but now that it's been made such a big deal we can't fall back here. |
| It can't be helped. We'll take you on. |
| Yuki | We're definitely not losing. ......Don't hold me back, okay. |
| Banri | Who do you think you're talking to. |
| |
| Banri | "ーーHey. When the door connecting the land of cats to the human world opens......you'll go back there, won't you." |
| "I guess you would. You've journeyed like this for the sake of finding a way to go back." |
| Yuki | "Yeah. ......I do want to go back to the land of cats. But I've made lots of friends in the human world too." |
| "If I go back to the land of cats, I won't be able to see my friends in the human world anymore...or you. I don't want that." |
| "I want to go back, but, but......I don't want to part with everyone......!" |
| Banri | "......Don't worry." |
| Yuki | "Eh?" |
| Banri | "Once you go back, you can search for a way to go back and forth between there and the human world. It must exist somewhere." |
| "You can look for lots of different ways by journeying like this, and by putting together everyone's knowledge, you'll come up with new ideas." |
| "So all you have to do is look at the goal in front of you and work hard." |
| Yuki | "......!" |
| Banri | "I won't give up. Let's work hard together." |
| Yuki | "Yeah. Thanks......I'll work hard......! I won't give up either!" |
| |
| Audience Member A | MANKAI Company was the best! It was really good! |
| Audience Member B | They really are skilled~! |
| Audience Member C | It's the first time I've seen them, but they pulled me in all at once! I'm definitely going to see their play at the theatre next time! |
| Staff | Bravo!! They charmed the audience with their overwhelming acting strength; it's the MANKAI Company team's victory!! |
| |
| Yuki | We're finally at the goal, huh...... |
| Banri | Yeah......The sky's getting light already...... |
| Yuki | ...... |
| Banri | Say, seriously, when are the rest of the guys coming. |
| Yuki | ーーHey, what was that before. |
| Banri | Huh? |
| Yuki | The etude. |
| Banri | Ahh. Well, it's good to just focus on what's in front of you right now. |
| I mean, I found what I wanted to do way later than you. |
| Yuki | ...... |
| But you have to think of your future too. |
| Banri | Ahh......That's true. |
