Tenma | Huh? That’s weird.... This is the Champs-Élysées, right? |
| Uhh, Avenue des Cham.... |
Igawa | Tenma-ku~n, this way~! |
Tenma | ——. |
| |
Tenma | We were supposed to meet up on that avenue, right? |
Igawa | No, you were supposed to take a turn from there to the Champs-Élysées. I’m glad I decided to look for you. |
Tenma | So confusing.... |
Igawa | We’re driving over to the location, so you don’t have to worry anymore. |
Tenma | .... |
Igawa | So you put the keyholder on your wallet. |
Tenma | I can’t carry that plushie around, after all. |
Igawa | Are you nervous, Tenma-kun? |
Tenma | ...No. Looking at their gifts calms me down. |
| I’ll show dad that there’s no better actor to play this role than me. |
Igawa | —Fufu, this is exciting. |
Tenma | Yeah. |
| ...I’m counting on you over there, Yuki. |
| |
Misumi | Then I’ll be the leader today~. |
Kumon | Please take care of us! |
Misumi | First, lets~... What should we start with? |
Kazunari | Hm~, should we do vocal exercises? |
Muku | How about we start with warm-up stretches? |
Misumi | Hmm~, then... want to look for triangles together~? |
Kumon | Eeh!? |
Yuki | ...Sigh. |
| |
Yuki | “We’re going to win the next game too.” |
Kumon | “But Inoue is....” |
Misumi | “We don’t have enough players.” |
Yuki | “I’ll take his place.” |
Kumon | “Eeeh!?” |
Yuki | “There’s no other way.” |
| |
Yuki | ...Should we perform this scene with a more serious tone? |
Kumon | Hmm.... |
Muku | But if we do that, I feel like the characters’ personalities will seem a little off. |
Misumi | I think it’s more fun if we play it lightheartedly~. |
Yuki | What do you think, leader? |
Kazunari | Eh? |
Yuki | You’re the leader today. |
Kazunari | Oh, you’re right. H~m, both have pros and cons, so let’s try both for now. |
| And then we should choose the one that fits better overall. |
Yuki | .... |
Kazunari | U-um? Was that no good? |
Yuki | ...No, it’s fine. I’m just thinking it’s taking a lot of time to reach a decision. |
Kazunari | Ah~, I can get a sense of what’s good and bad in certain parts, but looking at the overall flow of the story, it’s a little harder to choose. |
Yuki | .... |
| |
Muku | Th-then I’d like to begin today’s meeting. |
| Umm, so today’s problems... There were all sorts of issues today, but let’s do our best tomorrow. |
Yuki | No, we’re supposed to talk about how to fix them. |
Muku | Ah, y-you’re right! |
Yuki | Facilitate the discussion, leader. |
Muku | Y-yeah, sorry. |
Izumi | .... |
| (Everyone here has been the lead or co-lead, but it still seems pretty difficult for them to pull the group together as leader.) |
| (The overall atmosphere of practice just doesn’t fall into place without Tenma-kun’s constant guidance and advice.) |
| (The same goes for their acting—Tenma-kun’s talent and passion pulled everyone along, so...) |
| (It really makes you realize how important Tenma-kun is.) |
| |
Yuki | ...Hello? |
Tenma | “It’s me.” |
Yuki | ...Is this a scam[1]? |
Tenma | “No! You can see my name!” |
Yuki | What is it? Something wrong? |
Tenma | “I was just wondering how practice is going. Is it nighttime over there?” |
Yuki | It’s 10 PM. |
Tenma | “It’s 3 PM here. I just finished shooting for the day.” |
|
Yuki | ...Rather than worrying about us—how are you doing? |
Tenma | “They’re beating me into shape every day, but it’s fun.” |
Yuki | ...Is that so. Don’t worry about us; just focus on your film. |
Tenma | “I’m looking forward to seeing how you’ll all improve.” |
Yuki | ...International phone calls are expensive. I’m hanging up. |
Tenma | “Oi, hey, wai—!” |
| *Beep* |
Yuki | .... |
| We can’t keep going like this.... |
