| *knock* |
| |
| *door opens* |
Guy | Mikage. Perfect timing. |
Hisoka | ? |
Azuma | Ah, Hisoka’s here too. |
Homare | Perfect. We request a lecture. |
Tsumugi | We’re practicing darts right now. |
Tasuku | Since there’ll be a punishment game if it’s a match between troupes. |
Homare | We were saved during the old maid tournament thanks to Azuma-san and Tsumugi-kun. However, we have the Spring Troupe to face this time. |
Guy | Utsuki will surely be a formidable opponent. |
Tsumugi | Plus the Spring Troupe said they’d be practicing too. We need to practice so we don’t drag you down, Hisoka-kun. |
Hisoka | ...You didn’t have to worry about that though. |
Tsumugi | Did you have something you wanted to talk about? |
Hisoka | I’m thinking of heading out for a bit. |
Homare | Oh? Did you have something to do? |
Hisoka | Something really important. I can’t tell you the details, but... I just wanted to tell you I’ll be on my way. |
Azuma | I see... |
Hisoka | Settling my past... Part 2. |
Tasuku | What the heck. How many parts are there? |
Guy | It doesn’t seem like it will end soon. |
Hisoka | This’ll be the last. I’ll return home for sure... so hold on to this for me. |
Homare | Why, these are the limited-edition marshmallows from the other day. |
Hisoka | I was savouring them, so there’s 14 left. |
Azuma | Fufu, he’s keeping count. |
Hisoka | Alice, don’t snack on them. |
Homare | I shall do no such thing. I am not you, after all. |
| In any case, I shall look after them for you. Take care. |
Azuma | Make sure to come back home. |
Tasuku | The first day of the performance is just around the corner. It can’t start without the lead actor. |
Guy | We can’t win the darts tournament without you, Mikage. |
Tsumugi | We’ll all be waiting. See you later. |
Hisoka | I’m off. |
| |
Izumi | (I wanted to talk to Chikage-san about practice, but as always I can’t get a hold of him.) |
Hisoka | ... |
Izumi | Oh, Hisoka-san, have you seen Chikage-san? |
Hisoka | No... He’s not back yet? |
Izumi | Huh? No, not yet... |
Hisoka | ... |
Izumi | Hisoka-san? |
| (He seems a little different...) |
Hisoka | I’ll bring him home. |
Izumi | ...Did something happen? |
Hisoka | Don’t worry. We’ll both be back. |
Izumi | ... |
| (Something he can’t talk to me about must have happened.) |
| (I’m worried, but I accept the two of them as actors...) |
| ...You can’t skip practice. |
Hisoka | Yeah. I’m the lead and he’s the co-lead after all. |
Izumi | That’s right. Plus you haven’t resolved Holmes and Moriarty’s relationship. |
Hisoka | Yeah. |
Izumi | You two are leading this performance, so I won’t go easy on you. |
Hisoka | Yeah. |
Izumi | ...Come back safe, no matter what. To me, you two are precious members of our troupe. |
Hisoka | Got it. |
Izumi | ...See you later. |
| |
Taichi | Juza-san, being a soldier suits you super well! |
Sakyo | You’re looking sharp now. |
Kumon | What about me? What about me? |
Tenma | You may be an apprentice, but you’re still a doctor. You should probably move a little more smartly. |
Yuki | But if you’re too capable then that might not look like Watson anymore. |
Kazunari | Let’s test out a bunch of stuff today! |
Kumon | Yeah! |
Izumi | Off to do some individual training? |
Juza | Yeah. |
Kumon | Everyone says they’ll come with us. |
Izumi | Good luck! |
| (Kumon-kun and Juza-kun’s acting has gotten much better.) |
| (Hisoka-san, Chikage-san, these two will leave you behind if you don’t come back soon.) |
| |
Chikage | <<I’ve caught December.>> |
??? | <<“Have you reported to the headquarters?”>> |
Chikage | <<Not yet. I thought I’d ask you first.>> |
??? | <<“That’s smart of you. I was entrusted to deal with December. Tell me your location.”>> |
Chikage | <<I’ll send it to you now.>> |
Hisoka | ...What was that about December? |
Chikage | ...Why are you here. |
Hisoka | I want to cherish the new life August gave me, as well as my current self whom the Winter Troupe and Mankai Company built. |
Chikage | Then just sit there and—— |
Hisoka | I want to go home to that precious place with my head held high. |
| I didn’t come here for revenge; I’m here so the two of us can go back home where our current family’s waiting. |
Chikage | —— |
Hisoka | I’m sure you feel the same, Chikage. It’s not that you want revenge — you just want to protect that place. |
| So let me protect it too. |
Chikage | ...You’re so stubborn. |
Hisoka | That’s my line. |
Chikage | Like Kumon and Juza said, we probably are alike. |
Hisoka | As much as I don’t like it. |
Chikage | That’s my line. |
Hisoka | So, what do we do? |
Chikage | Go change for now. |
|
Hisoka | ... |
Chikage | Nostalgic, isn’t it? |
Hisoka | Yeah. |
Chikage | We’ll finish this today. |
Hisoka | That’s the plan, of course. |
