| Muku | I’m home. |
| Misumi | Welcome back~. |
| Izumi | Ah, Muku-kun. How’s your injury? |
| Muku | There are no abnormalities in the bones, so it’ll heal within a week or so. |
| Izumi | Thank goodness. |
| Tenma | Phew…. |
| Kazunari | Mukkun, we were worried about you~. |
| Yuki | You should’ve told us sooner if you twisted your wrist. |
| Muku | Sorry…. |
| When I twisted my wrist, the first thing that I recalled was the time when I got injured during my track and field days. |
| It happened right before an important competition too. |
| Everyone was working hard so that we could finally have a good chance of coming in first place and making a new record... |
| We had even talked about aiming to win at the national tournament, but my injury ruined everything. |
| I felt the same this time, too. I got scared by the thought that this play would be a total failure even though everyone had already prepared a lot and were anticipating it…. |
| Kumon | Muku… |
| Muku | I had already sorted out my feelings about the fact that I couldn’t do track and field anymore. |
| Thanks to that, I joined Summer Troupe and was able to come across theater and friends. They are as important as track and field to me. |
| But that is also why I got really scared to lose something important to me again in the same way as before. |
| I’m really sorry for not telling you guys. |
| I couldn’t produce any results in crucial times. Just as I’ve expected, I can’t become a prince, after all. |
| Kumon | ...Say, Muku, back when were kids, you showed me something when making a sand castle at the beach, see. |
| Muku | --. |
| Kazunari | Ah, is it the one that you talked about when we went to the beach with Hyodoru and the others? |
| Muku | --Yes. We went with Kyu-chan too. |
| Kumon | At the time, I asked you about what kind of prince did you want to be. Do you still remember your answer? |
| Muku | ...Someone who is really cool and sparkling, and then--really kind. A beautiful man who is loved by many. |
| Kumon | You see, at the time I thought that criteria screamed Muku so much. |
| Even now, my thought remains the same. Muku has always been prince-like since then. |
| Muku | --. |
| Tenma | No, you’re still lacking a little bit. |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Tenma | One of the reasons why Muku remains unconvinced about his prince role even when everyone is praising him is because he has strong desire and ideals. |
| Being resolute and unwavering is a good thing, but the main reason why you pushed yourself too hard like that was because you didn’t have confidence. |
| That is why, chin up. What you’re lacking is confidence. |
| Muku | Confidence… |
| Kumon | Muku, you see, I totally understand how it feels to think that we may fail something again. |
| It’s because I was like that before too. |
| But I was able to get over it because everyone in Summer Troupe was supporting me. |
| I’m sure Muku will be fine. I’ll support you. |
| Yuki | It should be, “we,” you know. |
| Kumon | Ah, that’s right. |
| Misumi | Muku is a completely sparkling prince. |
| Kazunari | That’s right, Mukkun. You’re reaaaally radiant on the stage. |
| Izumi | I’m sure the Muku right now will manage just fine. Be more confident. |
| Muku | --Yes! |
| Thanks, Kyu-chan. |
| Kumon | No problem! The two of us… I mean, let’s do our best and deliver a great performance with everyone! |
| Muku | Yes! |
| Tenma-kun and everyone… I’ll do my best. |
| Tenma | Good grief. You confidence is the only thing that hasn’t grown since our debut performance. |
| Yuki | You’re sure acting big. |
| Tenma | What!? |
| |
| Izumi | Well then, shall we start distributing this? |
| Misumi | Okay! |
| Juza | Is the flyer done already? |
| Kazunari | Yes! It’s fresh from the oven! |
| Juza | Give me one. |
| Muku | What, what do you think? |
| Juza | It came out well. I’m looking forward to the play. |
| Muku | Ehehe! |
