Episode 18: Itaru's Real Intention

Previous	Main Story	Next
Izumi ("There's something I want to tell you, so meet me later on the balcony," so he said...) (Why did Itaru-san send such a message? I wonder if there's something that he want to consult.) Itaru Oh, you're already here. Izumi Yeah. What do you want to talk about? Itaru I thought it'd be better to tell this to Director first. I've been considering this a lot, and I decided to quit the theatre. Izumi What!? Itaru I originally joined this theatre because I thought I could spend my rent and food expense money on online games. Besides, I don't have any interest in theatre. I thought maybe I could go to practice and play a supporting role. Izumi So that was your reason.... Itaru But there are so many lines, and everyone really tries their best. It makes me feel out of place. I think if I leave now, you still have time to search for a replacement. Izumi .... Itaru Therefore, I'm going to tell everyone to——. Izumi ——Please wait a sec!! Do you really not have any interest in theatre even now? So you don't care if you can't stand on stage with the other guys? Itaru .... Izumi (Itaru-san is looking away. I'm sure he's motivated to do theatre.) And you never skipped the morning practices, right? Itaru But that was because of my game... Izumi If it was only for games, you wouldn't show up to morning practices. You even did the special practice menu that I made for you. Itaru ..... To be honest, I felt like I was a little bit affected by everyone. I thought that it'd be better to do my best and reduce my game time until our performance. Izumi Then——! Itaru But I think it's no good. Izumi Why!? Itaru Unlike Sakuya or Tsuzuru, I can't open up to them and do my best. I'm not good at socializing with people. I don't really like communal life. That's why it's impossible for me to put my entire heart and spirit into theatre like everyone. Izumi Is that your real reason? Itaru I can't go on like this, obviously. I'll just be a bother to everyone. Izumi So it's not like you don't care about everyone or the performance. Itaru Well, yeah. I did practice together with those guys even though it was brief. Izumi That's why I want you to wait a little bit more. Itaru So it still doesn't work? Izumi Please reconsider it. Itaru But I think I'll only cause trouble later on. Izumi I'll hold the responsibility. (I've seen a lot of people giving up on theatre after so long, but Itaru-san is different from them. He's still hesitating.) (I'm sure a part of him still wants to keep going.) Itaru ...Fine. I'll put it on hold. Izumi Can I talk about this with the others? Itaru Sure. I intend to talk to them anyway. Sakuya Eeeh!? Citron Oh, bad news. Tsuzuru Seriously... Masumi Hmmm. Sakuya Are you going to quit for real!? Itaru I'm still deferring it, though. Tsuzuru But I wrote Tybalt with the image of Itaru-san, you know? Itaru Sorry for that. Citron Itaru is troubled too. I feel you. Masumi ....Just quit if you want to quit. Tsuzuru Oi, Masumi! Sakuya Masumi-kun, are you okay even if Itaru-san quits!? Masumi It's better for him to quit if he doesn't have any motivation. That old man also said that. Tsuzuru Yuzo-san, huh... Itaru Yup yup. I think it's the right time. But rest assured, I'll support you all even after I quit. Sakuya You still haven't decided whether to quit or not, right!? Itaru Well, yeah. Tsuzuru If you come to understand that theatre is more fun than games, will you still decide to quit? Itaru I won't understand. There is nothing more enjoyable than games. Citron You have a point, though. Games are the best entertainment. Sakuya Theatre is just as fun! Itaru ....So Sakuya and I also have different degrees of enthusiasm. Sakuya ..... Izumi Everyone has the same passion for theatre. There's no comparison. More importantly, all that matters right now is whether Itaru-san wants to keep doing theatre alongside everyone. Itaru ..... Izumi What's your answer? Itaru ...I'll think about it. Izumi Okay. Please take your time. Itaru ....

Episode 18: Itaru’s True Feelings

Previous	Main Story	Next
Izumi ("I need to talk, so come to the balcony later," huh...) (Why did Itaru-san send this message? Is something wrong? Maybe he needs to consult me about something.) Itaru Oh, you’re here already. Izumi Yes. What do you need to talk about? Itaru I thought it'd be best to tell Director-san first. I thought everything over carefully, and—I'm going to quit the troupe. Izumi Eh!? Itaru I originally joined this troupe thinking I could save money on food and rent and spend it on online games instead. I wasn’t interested in theater, but I thought if it was just going to practice and playing an extra role, I could handle it. Izumi So that’s why you joined.... Itaru But then, I had surprising number of lines, and everyone was trying really hard during practice and—I felt out of place. It's better for me to quit now; that way, you'll have time to search for a replacement. Izumi ...... Itaru So I'm thinking of telling everyone tomorrow—. Izumi —-Please wait!! Are you still not interested in theater? Do you not care about standing on stage with everyone? Itaru ..... Izumi (Itaru-san is averting his eyes. There's no way he isn't interested.) You came to morning practice, too. Itaru That was for my games—... Izumi You can play games without coming to morning practice. You’ve also been working on your basics, following the personal training menu I made. Itaru ...... To be honest, because of everyone else, I began to feel like I could do it too. I thought it might even be a good idea to cut down on gaming hours and practice hard until the performance. Izumi Then—! Itaru But I don't think it’ll work out. Izumi Why!? Itaru I can't work with everyone; I can't open up to them and work hard like Sakuya and Tsuzuru can. I'm bad at handling deep connections with people. I don't really like living with others, either. So it's probably impossible for me to get into theater with everything I have like Sakuya and the others. Izumi Is that the real reason? Itaru If I keep going like this and things don’t work out, it'll make trouble for everyone. Izumi So you do care about everyone and the performance. Itaru Well, yeah. It was only for a short period of time, but we were all in it together. Izumi Then please try waiting a little longer. Itaru And what if things don't work out? Izumi Then we’ll think about that then. Itaru I think it'll cause you trouble later. Izumi I'll take responsibility and handle it. (I've seen all sorts of people quit theater. But Itaru-san is different from them. He's still wavering.) (I think, somewhere in his heart, he still wants to continue acting.) Itaru ....I get it. I'll put it on hold for now. Izumi Can I tell everyone else about this? Itaru Yeah. I was going to tell them anyway. Sakuya Eeh!? Citron O-h, bad news... Tsuzuru Are you serious...? Masumi Huh. Sakuya Are you really going to quit!? Itaru Well, it's on hold for now. Tsuzuru I wrote Tybalt with you in mind, Itaru-san. Itaru Well, I’m sorry about that. Citron Itaru, you thought about this. I understand how you feel. Masumi ...If you want to quit, then quit. Tsuzuru Hey, Masumi! Sakuya Masumi-kun, you're okay with Itaru-san just leaving? Masumi If you’re not going to get serious, then you should just leave. That old guy said the same thing. Tsuzuru Yuuzou-san, huh... Itaru Yup yup, I think it's about time for me to leave. Even if I quit, I'll still be cheering you on. Sakuya You haven't decided to quit yet, right!? Itaru Well, yeah, but. Tsuzuru Will you get serious if you realize that theater is more interesting than games? Itaru I don't know. I never found anything more interesting than games. Citron It's true, games are the greatest form of entertainment. Sakuya Theater is just as good! Itaru ...See? I’m not enthusiastic like Sakuya. Sakuya ...... Izumi Everyone feels differently about theater. There's no point in comparing your passion to others’. The real question is whether or not you want to stand on stage with everyone, Itaru-san. That's the only thing that matters. Itaru ..... Izumi What do you think? Itaru ....Let me think it over. Izumi Yes. Please take your time and think it over again.
