Previous Main Story Next
IzumiNow then, I would like to get the first Winter Troupe practice started!
TsumugiI’m looking forward to working with you.
TasukuLooking forward to it.
AzumaLooking forward to it.
Hisoka...
IzumiHisoka-san, are you awake!?
Hisoka...
AzumaLooks like he’s just barely managing to keep his eyes open.
HomareVery well. I shall poke him awake from time to time.
IzumiPlease do!
All right, it’s our first one so let’s start with a simple etude practice.
AzumaEtude practice?
TsumugiIt means an improvised act.
IzumiWhile those with experience remember the basics, for the inexperienced ones please start by getting used to acting.
The theme is “shop attendant.” Please do a one-man act with this theme as you’d like.
Let’s start with Tasuku-san.
TasukuGot it.
Tasuku“Welcome.”
Izumi(He’s carrying himself sharply... Maybe it’s a fancy high-end shop?)
Tasuku“Let me carry your luggage for you, sir.”
Izumi(He’s a doorman of a hotel...!)
Tasuku“May I ask where you’re from?”
“Is that so? You’ve come a long way.”
“Please enjoy your stay.”
Izumi(The way he acts to open the door is just like a doorman... and the way he hands over to the front is confidently done.)
(He’s tall and he has punch, so you can really tell that he shines on the stage. He’s the type to naturally attract people’s gaze.)
Then, next up is Tsumugi-san.
TsumugiOkay.
“...Welcome.”
Izumi(The way he greets is kind of casual...? It’s a different feel from the one Tasuku-san just did.)
Tsumugi“Please have a seat here.”
“How do you want it done today?”
Izumi(He stands behind the seated customer... He’s a hairdresser!)
Tsumugi“Let’s see... The ends are a bit damaged.”
Izumi(He handles the hair delicately... You can almost see a real long-haired customer seated in front of him.)
(But the acting itself is not very held together, or rather, it seems to lack confidence when you compare it to Tasuku-san’s act earlier...)
Tasuku...
Tsumugi“Now, I’ll lead you to the shampoo area.”
...Um, that is all.
IzumiNext up is Homare-san.
Homare“Welcome to my workshop.”
Izumi(Workshop...?)
Homare“What might you need?”
“Poison, is it... Hm...”
Izumi(A workshop where he makes poison... Maybe it’s the workshop of an alchemist or something.)
(I didn’t expect anyone to do a fantasy world setting. But I think it suits Homare-san.)
Homare“I have many different types of poison: a drug that kills you as you sleep, a drug that makes you suffer and writhe in pain as you die...”
“I wonder which type of death you prefer. Why don’t we sit down and talk about the details thoroughly?”
Izumi(He looks like he’s playing around in some parts, but it’s executed in a theatrical manner to begin with, and it’s done with confidence.)
All right. Next up is Azuma-san.
Azuma“...”
Izumi(Huh? He doesn’t seem to be moving...)
Azuma“...Welcome.”
“One carton of number 17, right? 4600 yen.”
“Thanks for your patronage.”
Izumi(A tobacconist...!?)
Azuma“...”
Izumi(He’s reading the newspaper. A languid atmosphere suits him perfectly...)
Azuma...*phew*. I wonder if something like that was okay.
IzumiOh, yes. It’s fine.
(He didn’t move much, but he really is skillful. It’s like he knows exactly how his own character looks.)
The next one is Hisoka-san...
Hisoka...
HomareI nudged him, so he just barely woke up.
IzumiThank you very much!
Hisoka...Who am I acting as?
IzumiPlease feel free to choose on your own.
Hisoka...I can’t do it if I don’t know.
IzumiThen, please do a fast food worker.
Hisoka...What’s their age and their job?
IzumiHuh? Umm, 20 years old and a part-timer.
Hisoka...What do they look like? What about their family background?
IzumiSomeone with a normal appearance and a medium build I guess? And no problems with their home environment...
(He sure is asking for a lot of details.)
Hisoka...Okay.
“Welcome.”
“Please let me know when you’re ready to order.”
Izumi(Huh..... This is Hisoka-san, right?)
Hisoka“A hamburger and fries set. Got it.”
Izumi(It’s a normal young man in a part-time job. Plus he doesn’t look motivated and he’s just doing his job half-heartedly...)
Hisoka“That would be 430 yen.”
“Here’s your 70 yen change. Thank you very much.”
“...”
Izumi(Even the way he slacks off the moment the customer leaves is realistic...)
Hisoka...Was that okay?
IzumiYeah!
(I didn’t expect him to act so realistically. Maybe he used to be an actor before he lost his memories?)
Hisoka...
Izumi(He’s back to his usual self. It’s not like he lacks presence, but rather it’s like he doesn’t seem realistic, and he has a fluffy aura...)
TasukuDid you do martial arts?
Hisoka...
IzumiYou mean Hisoka-san?
TasukuHis footsteps don’t make any sound.
IzumiAh!!
HomareNow that you mention it, I was thinking how he’s quiet regardless if he’s awake or asleep.
Izumi(Is that why he lacks presence...)
Hisoka...Zzz.
AzumaHe’s already asleep.
IzumiI can’t imagine him doing martial arts when I see this side of him though...
Tasuku...I guess it was just my imagination.
HomareWake up. Poke poke.
Hisoka...
IzumiHomare-san, I’m counting on you to continue doing so!
HomareMhm.
