| Hisoka | ...This is so predictable. |
| Chikage | We need someplace out of sight, and places like this are our only option. |
| Hisoka | ...Come to think of it, we always used places like this. Dramas and movies are amazing. |
| Chikage | You sure are carefree. Don’t drag me down. |
| Hisoka | You’re telling me? |
| ??? | <<You said you’d “caught him”, but the situation looks a little different.>> |
| Hisoka | <<...July.>> |
| Chikage | <<Nice to meet you, is technically what I should say.>> |
 |
| July | <<Yeah. Since I wouldn’t show my face.>> |
| Chikage | <<Well, not saying that this is your real face though.>>[1] |
| July | <<Haha, true. Someday I will confirm that——>> |
| <<So, which one’s December? But from your stature, I suppose he’d be that one over there.>> |
| Hisoka | ... |
| July | <<I’m impressed you lived after falling off that cliff. I guess that’s what you’d expect from the kid August picked up.>> |
| Hisoka | <<...How’d you know I fell off a cliff?>> |
| July | <<Let’s take our time talking about that later.>> |
| Chikage | <<No need for that. Right here, you’re——>> |
| Hisoka | <<I’ve got a favour to ask of you.>> |
| Chikage | <<...December?>> |
| July | <<A favour?>> |
| Hisoka | <<I know you’re the traitor who set August up. You’ll be in danger if I report you.>> |
| July | <<Right. That’s why I need to make you the traitor and dispose of you.>> |
| Hisoka | <<Well I don’t want to die, and I want to return to the organization. So I’ll side with you.>> |
| Chikage | ...What are you saying, December? |
| July | <<So you’re going to let go of the freedom you got in exchange for August’s life? I find that hard to believe.>> |
| Hisoka | <<I do feel sorry towards August. But right now I have something I want to protect.>> |
| Chikage | —— |
| Hisoka | <<I was actually going to work with April to catch you and turn you in to the boss.>> |
| <<But April wishes to escape the organization. In order to return to the organization, it’d be wiser to stick with the next boss.>> |
| <<Everything would be settled peacefully if you made it seem like April is the traitor.>> |
| Chikage | Oi, December, this isn’t what we planned. |
| July | <<If you want me to believe what you’re saying, then can you show me proof?>> |
| Hisoka | ... |
| Chikage | Weren’t we supposed to avenge August? Why are you suddenly—— |
| Hisoka | I had no other choice. Sorry. |
| Chikage | Stop messing around... |
| Hisoka | I was always complaining, but I didn’t hate you, April. |
| *hit* |
| Chikage | December—— Guh. |
| Hisoka | <<My proof will be April himself. You can do whatever you want with him.>> |
| July | <<——>> |
| <<...Haha, so this is what your pretend-family has come down to. This is why I told him he’d suffer if he’d kept saying naive things.>> |
| Chikage | <<...If this will protect what’s important to me, then I’m satisfied.>> |
| July | <<You’re still spouting childish things like that?>> |
| Chikage | <<...I guess you wouldn’t understand.>> |
| July | <<I wouldn’t understand...?>> |
| <<——I do understand.>> |
| <<I always believed that August treasured “that place” more than anything, like I did, and yet...>> |
| <<I didn’t think he was researching memory in order to leave the organization and live as an ordinary person.>> |
| <<He said it was a cure for psychological trauma, but that was all a lie. Don’t you think he’s the real traitor here?>> |
| <<We didn’t endure all that hellish training for that!>> |
| <<We live and die for the organization. From now on we won’t be manipulated by the times. We’ll create our own era.>> |
| Hisoka | <<That’s why you did that to August?>> |
| July | <<Yeah. I sold information to the enemy.>> |
| <<I even told August that I’d spare him if he abandoned the results of his research, but he refused.>> |
| Hisoka | <<Is that all of your crimes?>> |
| July | <<...What?>> |
| Chikage | ——Hah! |
| *hit* |
| July | ——Gh. |
| <<You...?>> |
| Chikage | <<I only pretended to be restrained. I’ve sent our entire conversation to the headquarters.>> |
| July | <<!!>> |
| Hisoka | <<I didn’t think you’d fall for such a clichéd trap. How disappointing.>> |
| July | <<In that case, I’ll expose that December actually lived and that April had been hiding him.>> |
| Hisoka | <<Nobody will believe the words of someone who betrayed his companions.>> |
| July | <<——The traitor wasn’t me.>> |
| Chikage | <<Just go to sleep.>> |
| July | <<——Kh.>> |
| Chikage | <<Too slow——>> |
| July | <<Guh——>> |
| Chikage | <<You can’t escape from this distance. Your fault for letting your guard down.>> |
| *hit* |
| Chikage | <<This is April. I’ve captured the traitor.>> |
| ... |
| Hisoka | ...What? |
| Chikage | <<...His accomplice took a weapon out, so I’m going to dispose of him.>> |
| Hisoka | ——!? |
| *splash* |
| Hisoka | ——*spit*. |
| Chikage | <<I’ll leave the deportation arrangements to you. Bye.>> |
| Hisoka | This sucks. You didn’t tell me anything about falling into the ocean. |
| Chikage | It’s payback for kicking me earlier. |
| Hisoka | That was an act. |
| Chikage | You sure didn’t hold back. |
| Hisoka | Did I not? |
| Chikage | Here, grab my hand. We’re going home. |
| Hisoka | I’m drenched... |
| Chikage | Good thing you changed into a different coat. |
| Hisoka | ...I didn’t think you’d use a strategy like this. |
| Chikage | August would have. I would’ve been against it. |
| But you wanted to go home with your head held high as the actor Mikage Hisoka, right? |
| Hisoka | Yeah... |
| Chikage | Well, whether it’d work or not was a gamble though. Since he’s not the type of guy to come out in the open... |
| I expected him to have poor judgment on the field, but I was glad he was even less composed than I thought. |
| Hisoka | ...I think July was tainted by that place too much. |
| He didn’t know any other way to live, so it’s only reasonable that he ended up that way. |
| ...August may have wanted to save July too. |
| Chikage | ...Yeah. |
| |
| Hisoka | ...I’m home. |
| Chikage | I’m home. |
| Muku | Welcome back! |
| Misumi | Welcome back~! |
| Juza | You’re late. |
| Kumon | Where’d you go? |
| Chikage | We just practiced some action scenes. |
| Hisoka | Yeah. |
| Juza | That sounds nice. |
| Kumon | We also did individual practice so now we’re on a roll! |
| Juza | Do you want to practice right now? |
| Hisoka | ...Before we do that, I’m going to grab the marshmallows I left with someone. It’d be a pain if they were eaten. |
| Chikage | Go on. |
| Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
| Kumon | We’ll go ahead to the practice room then! |
| *door closes* |
| Chikage | ... |
| Izumi | Chikage-san, welcome back. |
| Chikage | ——I’m home. |
| Izumi | You didn’t do anything dangerous, did you? |
| Chikage | Just a little. But we’ve taken care of all the danger now. |
| Izumi | Umm, congratulations? Thank you for your hard work? |
| Chikage | Thanks. It should be safe from now on. Hisoka will be fine now too. |
| Izumi | I see... |
| Chikage | If by any chance, something happens after this, I’ll do something about it. So don’t worry. |
| Izumi | ...You can’t do that. |
| Chikage | ? |
| Izumi | Chikage-san, you told me before that I should see Hisoka-san as an actor. |
| It’s the same for you. You’re a part of this theater troupe, so please don’t put yourself in danger. |
| Chikage | ...Got it. Director-san. |
