| Sakyo’s father | .... |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Sakyo’s father | That chair’s become your special seat, Sakyo. |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Sakyo’s father | Do you see anything interesting? |
| Sakyo | ...Cars. |
| Sakyo’s father | I didn’t know you liked cars so much. |
| Sakyo | I don’t.... |
| Sakyo’s father | ...Mother sure is late. Want to read a book? |
| Sakyo | I can’t read that. It’s too hard. |
| Sakyo’s father | Right. You’re right.... |
| Then let’s play with paper fortunes. |
| Sakyo | Paper fortunes? |
| Sakyo’s father | We don’t have any origami paper, so... let’s use this. Give me one second. |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Sakyo’s father | Now choose a number. |
| Sakyo | ...3. |
| Sakyo’s father | 1, 2, 3. Next number. |
| Sakyo | ...6. |
| Sakyo’s father | 6. Let’s see what you got.... |
| Small luck. It says you’ll find a ladybug by the road. Isn’t that nice? |
| Sakyo | A ladybug...? |
| Pfft, ahaha, that’s so weird. |
| Sakyo’s father | Should we play again tomorrow? |
| Sakyo | Yeah. |
| |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| I fell asleep.... |
| Azami | Tch. He woke up. |
| Citron | Mission failed!? |
| Kazunari | Shhh! |
| Sakyo | ...What are you doing? |
| Citron | I-it’s nothing! |
| Kazunari | Yeah, yeah, nothing’s going on here! |
| Sakyo | The hell is with those ridiculous sunglasses? |
| Azami | We were going to put them on you and upload a pic to the blog. |
| Sakyo | Aah? |
| Kazunari | It’s a joke~! |
| Citron | All units, retreat! |
| Azuma | Fufu. |
| Sakyo | Yukishiro... If you were watching, you should have stopped them. |
| Azuma | But it was such a cute prank. |
| Sakyo | Geez. I can never let my guard down. |
| Izumi | (It’s rare to see Sakyo-san dozing off like that.... He’s been practicing late every night. He might be tired.) |
| Sakyo-san, here’s an energy drink from Sakoda-san. Please drink it. |
| Sakyo | Why’d he make us take something so heavy.... |
| Izumi | He said “Please keep this close to you, and think of it as if it were me.” |
| Sakyo | Geez.... |
| Izumi | (He might complain, but he’ll still drink it.) |
| Azuma | Ken really wanted to tag along till the last second. |
| Citron | It took a lot of effort to peel him off. |
| Sakyo | ...Phew. |
| Azuma | You were muttering something in your sleep. Were you dreaming? |
| Sakyo | Yeah, I feel like I dreamt about the long-gone past, but... I forgot. |
| Omi | Director, about the flyer photoshoot—we’re set for day three for now, right? |
| Izumi | Yeah. We might have to change it depending on how the film shoot goes. Is that okay? |
| Omi | Yeah, that’s fine. |
| Izumi | I’m worried about whether we’ll proceed according to schedule, but I’m also worried about the weather.... |
| Omi | Of the four days, two days are for the film shoot, and one is for the photoshoot. So we only have one day to prepare. |
| Citron | There’s a 60% chants of pain tomorrow. |
| Omi | Chance of rain, yeah. |
| Sakyo | We’re planning to shoot everything outside, too. One rain-out won’t kill us, but any more than that will be a problem. |
| Izumi | (I hope we’ll make it through somehow....) |
| |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Azami | Don’t move. I’m gonna fix your make-up. |
| Izumi | Wow, when you guys get together like this, you really stand out! |
| Kazunari | Onmyoji in Kyoto really gives you those emotional vibes! Time to upload to Insta~! |
| Citron | Everyone’s looking. |
| Sakyo | They’re gonna think we’re in cosplay. |
| Kamo | I have the temple’s permission, so please don’t worry. |
| Aah...! You look even more fantastic surrounded by the air of Kyoto! Marvelous! |
| Now, let’s begin with the very first scene! |
| |
| Kamo | I’m sorry. The camera can’t quite follow sideway movements from this angle, so please move back and forth instead. |
| Guy | I see. I’ll give it a try. |
| Citron | Film debut is hard. |
| Azuma | It really is different from the stage. |
| Omi | I’ve tried shooting the whole stage at once, but video requires a different technique, huh. I’m learning. |
| Sakyo | Anything I should pay attention to? |
| Kamo | You’re doing perfect, Furuichi-san! Please keep it up! |
| Izumi | (Thanks to the workshop, Sakyo-san seems to be moving film-consciously.) |
| (Because the lead is so efficient, we’ve saved a lot of time. Sakyo-san’s thorough preparation really pulled us through! Great!) |
| |
| Kazunari | Alright, that’s it for today’s shoot! |
| Izumi | Nice work, everyone! |
| Sakyo | Looks like we managed to finish before the sun set. |
| Citron | That was more exhausting than practice. |
| Azuma | I was getting worried about all those retakes, but I’m glad it worked out. |
| Guy | It’s thanks to Furuichi’s smooth progress. |
| Kamo | Would you like to look at the preview? |
| Kazunari | Sounds good! |
| Izumi | I want to see! |
| Kamo | There’s no sound yet, but.... |
| Izumi | Woah...! |
| Kazunari | It looks soooo good! |
| Omi | I see... this is how it looks like on film. |
| Azuma | It gives off a different impression on screen. |
| Sakyo | We need to think about our presentation more. |
| Azami | ...Yeah, the close-up shots call for more caution. I’ll check the storyboard one more time. |
| Citron | Sakyo, you look great! |
| Guy | When you compare, you can really see the difference in our acting. |
| Izumi | (You can tell that Sakyo-san’s performance is conscious of the camera—his eyes and expressions are different from those you see on stage; they’re more delicate.) |
| (It comes off even more moving on camera.) |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Izumi | (But he looks dissatisfied.) |
| Is something bothering you? |
| Sakyo | ...No. It’s nothing. |
| Izumi | (Hmm, that’s probably not true, but....) |
| Kamon | Please keep this up for tomorrow! |
| Kazunari | Gotcha! |
| Omi | —It’s getting cloudy all of a sudden. |
| Azuma | You’re right. Looks like it’ll rain. |
| Azami | The report says rain is closing in. We should probably get out of here soon. |
| Citron | Hurry! |
| |
| Azuma | That was a nice bath. |
| Sakyo | I’m glad there’s a communal bath here. |
| *Ping* |
| Azuma | It’s from Director. |
| Sakyo | Tomorrow’s shoot is cancelled... well, there is a 100% chance of rain, after all. |
| Azuma | Then that means we can drink tonight. We can’t visit my favorite terrace bar because of the rain, but why don’t we drink here instead? |
| Sakyo | Sounds good. |
| Azuma | I’ll buy some sake downstairs. |
| Sakyo | I’ll come with you. |
| Azuma | It’s fine. You should rest. |
| Sakyo | Thanks. |
| .... |
| (That preview video.... Wasn’t bad.) |
| (The workshop and this how-to book were both useful. I could speak and move the way I imagined. But...) |
| (It’s all just for show. Might look good, but it’s empty inside.) |
| (I can present myself to look good on screen. But that alone isn’t enough.) |
| (Seimei’s inner feelings—what Hyodo managed to do with Blood—...) |
| (Isn’t there something more I can do?) |
| .... |
| (But I guess we don’t have time for that. I can’t ask everyone to retake for the sake of my ego.) |
| (In any case, I don’t even have an answer. There’s no guarantee it’ll improve on a retake. But...) |
| Azuma | I’m back. |
| Sakyo | Took you a while—wait, you bought all that? We can’t finish it with just two people—. |
| Citron | We’re here to spoil the pun~! |
| Guy | You mean join the fun. |
| Azuma | Four of us can finish in no time. |
| Sakyo | ...Sigh. So that was your plan. |
