| Shifuto | Me? ….As the new top? |
| Haruto | Ehーー |
| Reni | Being promoted from a trainee to an actor and immediately appointed as a new top, this is the first time someone has achieved such a feat since our troupe’s establishment. |
| I’ve looked after you since your trainee period, but since then your improvement has been remarkable. |
| It’s a good offer to take for you who just enrolled to highschool. How about it? You’re capable of doing it right? |
| Shifuto | Wellー......I wonder. |
| Haruto | You, that's not how you should speak to himーー! |
| Reni | What do you mean by that? |
| Shifuto | In lessons, Reni-san always says to aim for perfect, supreme beauty, right? |
| I think I’m prolly far from what Reni-san’s ideal is. |
| Reni | …. |
| Haruto | Hmph. So you understand that well. |
| Reni | ….What in this world do you think is exceedingly beautiful? |
| Shifuto | Eh? Uhh…. I wonder. |
| Reni | Something that unknowingly influences others. A "Demon". |
| Putting aside your awareness, there’s a flower in your theater. One that no one can ignore, a flower that overpowers it’s surroundings. |
| You're a talent worthy of GOD-za’s center. My judgement is never incorrect. |
| Shifuto | Err, thank you. |
| Reni | Your first stage will be a showdown act with MANKAI Company. |
| Shifuto | a showdown act? |
| Haruto | with MANKAI Company… |
| Reni | In that stage, I’ll have Haruto stand together with you. As the previous top, he can teach you the ropes on how to act and behave as a top. |
| Haruto | U-Understood! |
| Reni | Lastly, do you have any questions? |
| Shift | Errr, right.... |
| Reni | You can ask me whatever you’d like. |
| Shifuto | Then, what's in that safe over there? |
| Reni | Huh? |
| Haruto | H-hey youーー！ |
| Shifuto | It’s kinda out of place, so I’ve been curious since I entered the room. Is it money? |
| Reni | ….It’s not something you need to know. It’s something worthless that I could throw out anytime. |
| Haruto | ーー. |
| Shifuto | Hmmー... |
| Reni | In our next showdown with MANKAI Company, we will show them the difference of our rank and ability as a troupe. We’ll completely humiliate them. |
| We’ll build and show them GOD-za’s fabulous, overpowering stage. |
| Until the script finishes, strive to put in more efforts than usual in practice with every passing day. |
| Shifuto | Kaaaay. |
| Haruto | Yes! |
| Reni | That will be all. |
| Haruto | Please excuse us! |
| Shifuto | scuse’ us! |
| Reni | Haruto, contact the scriptwriter. That, and prepare the challenge letter. |
| Haruto | ーーIf those guys don’t accept our challenge, what should we do then…? |
| Reni | In that case, to the cowards who turned their tail and ran away from us, I will declare it as a grand victory. |
| Haruto | Yes! Please excuse me. |
| |
| Shifuto | Aaghー, I was so nervous I got hungry. |
| Haruto | ーWill ya quit that already!? |
| Shifuto | …. |
| Haruto | What in the hell do ya think yer doin’ in front of Reni-san!? It ain’t the time to act so loose! Are ya tauntin’ me! |
| Shifuto | Ahaha, Haruto-san you’re funnyー What dialect is that? |
| Haruto | ーー. |
| Shifuto | I don’t really get this stuff about the top or whatever, so I’m in your care, kay? Kay, handshake. |
| Haruto | Don’t just do as you pleaseーー！ |
| Shifuto | Ah, wanna come with me and eat some croquette udon? |
| Haruto | I ain’t goin’! |
| Shifuto | Ehhhー... |
| … |
| Though… MANKAI Company, huh. |
| |
| (flashback) |
| It’s not that it’s your fault, but, sorry. |
| Azami | Eh? |
| Shifuto | I’m not worthy to stay buddies with you. |
| Azami | ーー. |
| |
| Shifuto | …. |
| (The face Azami made at that time… I bet he’s shocked.) |
| Haruto | Listen, as a top, you need to be at your best behaviour and stay beautiful at all times! |
| even outside of theater, in your private matters too! Don’t put that foolish face! |
| Shifuto | …. |
| Haruto | Are you listening!? |
| Shifuto | Ah, yeah yeah. |
| Haruto | Just reply with ‘yes’ once! |
| Shifuto | Yeah yeah, I said I got it didn’t I? |
| Haruto | You, you really don’t listen to people when they talk do you!? |
| Shifuto | (For the time being, I have to work hard as a top to pay Reni-san back for his kindness…) |
| |
| Sakuya | Is Omi-san going to be home late today? |
| Izumi | Yeah, but yesterday he already cooked us some roast beef beforehand. |
| Sakyo | I see, so that’s curry prevention. |
| Izumi | If you’re going to say that, how about I put curry sauce on it? |
| Sakyo | I don’t need it. |
| Sakuya | Umm, I’ll have it like this as is! |
| Tsumugi | Thank you for the food. |
| Izumi | ….It could have opened new discoveries. |
| Manager | D-D-D-Director! This is terrible!! |
| Izumi | ? |
| Manager | T-t-t-t-this was in our postbox!! |
| Izumi | what a clean envelope. The sender is…. GOD-za!? |
| Sakyo | I have nothing but bad feelings about this. |
| Tsumugi | I wonder what it is this time. |
| Sakyo | I’ll open it. |
| Izumi | …...Wh-what was it after all? |
| Sakyo | It’s a challenge letter. |
| Izumi | A challenge letter!? |
| Sakuya | Is it another showdown act!? |
| Sakyo | Furthermore, this time the lead is nominated. |
| Tsumugi | Who would that be? |
| Sakyo | Tsukioka TsumugiーーIt’s you. |
