| Takao | Well then, I will go fetch the costumes and fabric. |
| Izumi | Thank you so much. |
| Misumi | I’m glad Butler-san is a good person~ |
| Hisoka | He’s normal, unlike Arisu. |
| Homare | Hm, what are you saying. |
| He may appear like that, but he has quite a mischievous side to him. |
| Tsumugi | Is that so? |
| Izumi | I didn’t expect that. It’s kind of hard to imagine. |
| Azuma | But I won’t find it strange if a quirky character like Homare serves the Arisugawa family. |
| |
| Takao | Excuse me. We’ve brought the fabric and costumes. |
| Servants | Excuse us. |
| Tasuku | That’s a lot. |
| Muku | Wah, these fabrics are so pretty! |
| Yuki | They’re all in much better shape than I expected... But wait, aren’t these fabrics really high quality? |
| Hisoka | They look expensive. |
| Yuki | I’ll be cutting them to pieces and stitching them up; is that okay? |
| Takao | I’ve confirmed it with the madam earlier. She says it’s fine. They will not be worn again, after all. |
| Tenma | So you’ve already asked her beforehand. |
| Izumi | Thank you very much! You’ve helped us a lot. |
| Takao | Not at all. Well then, we’ll excuse ourselves. |
| Yuki | Now then... How should I use these. |
| Misumi | Yuki, you look happy~ |
| Yuki | Well, I don’t get to work with high quality fabric like this often. Plus I can do stuff the way I want to. |
| Tsumugi | We need to come up with what we’re going to perform so you can decide how you want to use these fabrics and costumes. |
| Guy | That’s right. We should start with that. |
| Tsumugi | Which room will the party be held? |
| Homare | But of course, we have a party hall. |
| Yuki | How big is this place... |
| Muku | A party hall sounds wonderful. |
| Tsumugi | It’s highly likely that a lot of the guests would be celebrities too... So why don’t we go for something that has to do with nobility? |
| Izumi | I see. That sounds good. |
| Yuki | The costumes they gave us have an aristocratic feel to them, so if we’re going with that theme then I can tweak these. |
| Kazunari | A performance with aristocrat costumes sounds super fun~! Gonna have to take lots of pics. |
| Tenma | There’s a heap of stuff we gotta make before that though... |
| Tasuku | In any case, we’ve settled on a goal for now. |
| Tsumugi | That’s right. Basically, what we have to do can be divided into two things: the script and the costumes. |
| Kumon | I can help with anything! |
| Azuma | Creating a performance together with everyone is going to be fun. |
| Izumi | All right, why don’t we split into two teams – the script team and the costumes team – and start prepping for the performance? |
| |
| Izumi | So the script team will be contacting Tsuzuru-kun to ask for advice; led by Tsumugi-san, the rest of the team will be Tenma-kun, Muku-kun, Tasuku-san, and Homare-san—— |
| The costumes team will have Yuki-kun as the lead, followed by Misumi-kun, Kazunari-kun, Kumon-kun, Hisoka-san, Azuma-san, and Guy-san. |
| Kazunari | ’Kay~! |
| Azuma | Oka–y. |
| Yuki | An aristocrat theme, huh... I guess I’ll use typical aristocrat costumes as a base and try turning them into something fitting for the stage. |
| Okay, I’ve got an idea, so I think I can get the designs down soon. |
| Misumi | All right, let’s all work hard~! |
| |
| *knock* |
| *door opens* |
| Takao | Excuse me. |
| Izumi | Takao-san. |
| Tenma | Earlier today, why didn’t you come in even after you’ve knocked? |
| Takao | Ahh, when I had knocked, everyone inside the room began talking about how there should have been no one else in the mansion... |
| I wanted to see everybody’s shocked expressions, so I couldn’t help myself. |
| Tenma | What!? |
| Izumi | Mischievous... I see now. |
| Azuma | Fufu, so he really is a mischievous person. |
| Takao | By the way everyone, dinner is ready. Would you all like to partake? |
| Homare | Now that I think about it, I am getting quite hungry. |
| Izumi | They especially prepared a meal for us, so why don’t we wrap things up for now and go eat? |
| Kazunari | Yappi! Dinner! |
| Guy | Let’s go, Mikage. |
| Hisoka | Zzz... |
| Takao | This way, please. |
| Kumon | Hm? |
| Hey, Yuki! Doesn’t this pot kinda have a cool design!? Look! |
| Yuki | Hm? |
| Kumon | Wah, crap! I knocked it over when I touched it...! |
| Yuki | What are you doing... |
| Kumon | Gotta put it back carefully—— |
| !?!? |
| Yuki | Kumon? |
| Kumon | Wha-wha-wha-wha-what should I do...!!! |
| Yuki | Huh? |
| Geh... The rim cracked... |
| Kumon | Isn’t this a work of art!? I wonder if it’s super expensive!? What should I do, Yuki~!! |
| Homare | What’s the matter, you two? The food will get cold. |
| Kumon | Ho-Ho-Ho-Homare-san!?!? O-okay! We’ll be right there!! |
| Homare | Ohh, you must have taken quite a liking to that pot if you are hugging it so closely! |
| I’m delighted that you also understand the beauty of this work of art, Kumon-kun. |
| Looking at pots is splendid. However, a warm meal is also wonderful. I will be going on ahead to the dining hall, so I hope you two would come along soon as well. |
| *door closes* |
| Kumon | Aaaah what should I do!!? I- I ended up hiding it from him!! This can’t be the most expensive thing here, right!? |
| What if I end up having to leave the troupe because of this, then my family will be in the debt for the rest of our lives, then even nii-chan would have to leave the troupe...!! |
| Yuki | Calm down. I don’t know how much it costs, but... Well, if you’re so worried about it, for now let’s ask someone for advice. |
| Kumon | Y-you’re right! Uhh, uhh... |
| B-but the Director looked busy discussing the training camp and the performance with the butler...! |
| Yuki | But the Summer Troupe would probably tell you things will be fine as long as you apologize, with no basis whatsoever. And of course you can’t talk to Arisu about it. |
| Azu-nee would probably tell you to just buy a new one. Meanwhile Tasuku, Hisoka, and Guy look useless at stuff like this. |
| ...By process of elimination, we have no choice but to count on Tsumugi. |
| Let’s talk to him later when he’s alone. Until then, just leave the pot where nobody can see it. |
| Kumon | O-okay... |
