| Matsukawa | Hmm Hmm Hmm〜 Cleaning up cleaning up, how fun〜 |
| Izumi | Ah, the wax there isn’t dry yet so please be careful. |
| Matsukawa | Wawawahhー! |
| Izumi | Are you okay!? |
| (Just as I said it he slipped and fell…!) |
| Yuzo | Oh, there you are. |
| Sakyo | What the hell are you doing, Matsukawa… |
| Matsukawa | Ow owie… Huh, Yuzo-san, is something up? |
| Yuzo | Here, a souvenir from a local performance. |
| Matsukawa | Ah! Yatsuhashi! Thank you very much! |
| Yuzo | That, and I have something to ask the director. |
| Izumi | ? |
| Yuzo | I’m going to have a magazine interview after this, is it okay if they advertise this troupe? |
| Izumi | Eh!? Advertising MANKAI Company!? |
| Yuzo | Our troupe is the special feature but, in the questionnaire I received, there was a question that reads “Are there any other troupes that personally got your attention?” |
| Izumi | Of course, it would be a big honour! |
| Matsukawa | Please do advertise away for us! |
| Sakyo | It’s better if you think twice first. |
| Izumi | Eh? |
| Sakyo | Giving permission means you’re letting him say whatever he wants. If the old man says something false… |
| Yuzo | As usual you don’t close your mouth don’t you, boy? |
| Sakyo | ーーOw! Don’t rub my head! |
| Izumi | (The only one who can act this carefree around Sakyo-san is Yuzo-san.) |
| Matsukawa | By the way, what’s the name of the magazine? |
| Yuzo | Do you know of ‘Spotlight’? |
| Matsukawa | ‘Spotlight’!? Isn’t that a famous theater magazine!? |
| Izumi | Of course, I know of it! |
| (It introduces many troupes from Veludo Way, and it’s good for reference, so it’s a magazine everyone reads) |
| Yuzo | I’ll strongly advertise your troupe. |
| Izumi | Please do! |
| Sakyo | I wonder… |
| Yuzo | Speaking of, do you remember Juriko? |
| Sakyo | ーーWell, of course I remember. |
| Yuzo | It’s been a while, today we might meet. |
| Sakyo | ーーI see. Spotlight’s chief editor is… |
| Yuzo | If we meet, I’ll tell them that the boy from that time is doing well and that it's about time for them to show their face in front of MANKAI Company. |
| Izumi | (I wonder who Juriko is…?) |
| Matsukawa | Could you be talking about, Hinamori-san!? |
| Izumi | Hinamori-san? |
| Matsukawa | The first generation’s spring troupe leader! |
| Come on, didn’t we watch the video! The one who played Juliet on the first generation’s Romeo and Juliet play. |
| Izumi | (The play we saw during the spring troupe’s Romijuli play…) |
| Aah! That person who was really good at female-roles…!? |
| Matsukawa | That’s the one! |
| Sakyo | Is Kasumi-san doing well? |
| Yuzo | He seems busy, so we haven't been in contact. Geez, so much for a childhood friend. |
| Izumi | (They were childhood friends with Yuzo-san, I didn’t know.) |
| Please tell them to not hold back and come over to play anytime. |
| Yuzo | Yeah. |
| Izumi | (Right, That Kasumi-san stood together with Yuzo-san on MANKAI Company’s stage.) |
| Ah! Speaking of! Sakyo-san, the subject we were going to ask Yuzo-san about the maintenance from the other day, have you asked him? |
| Sakyo | Right, we said we’d ask him next time we meet him. |
| Yuzo | Maintenance? |
| Matsukawa | The other day when we had a contractor do maintenance, they praised our facility. |
| They said it was built to last being used for a long time. |
| Yuzo | I see… |
| Izumi | From the first generation’s members, was someone good in that field? |
| Yuzo | Yeah… Well, that might be true. |
| ーーSorry, it’s about time to go. See you next time. |
| Izumi | Ah, take care! |
| Matsukawa | For even Yuzo-san to not know… I wonder who it was. |
| |
| Reporter | Then, shall we move on to the questions for this time? |
| Yuzo | We still have many places to improve on, but we’re intending to advance steadily one step at a time in preparation of the Fleur Award. |
| Reporter | Thank you very much. Next, I’d like to interview the man of theater Yuzo Kashima as an individual. |
| Recently, have there been any troupes that caught your attention? |
| Yuzo | That would be MANKAI Company. It’s a troupe I used to be affiliated to long ago, but it disbanded. |
| From there they picked it up again and looked for new troupe members, and now they’re working hard as the new MANKAI Company. |
| Sometimes I look after them. The screenwriter working for the troupe is still young yet promising. |
| If they keep growing like this... They might just match the first generation’s. |
| Reporter | Do you mean… to Ikaruga Hakkaku-san? |
| Yuzo | We still don’t know, though. |
| Reporter | Is this a second coming of the legendary script writer who left many of his masterpieces in MANKAI Company and suddenly vanished from the spotlight? |
| Now this is something we can’t miss. |
| Yuzo | They're also doing repeat performances locally, so please check them out once. |
| Reporter | Yes, I will. |
| |
| With that, the interview is over. Thank you very much. |
| Yuzo | What happened to the chief editor? |
| Reporter | Ah… Um, today he has other matters to attend to. |
| Yuzo | Sigh…. Tell him to at least show his face to me. |
| Reporter | Alright. |
