| Tsumugi | “That soul’s radiance is a light that goes beyond thousands of years—a light that illuminates even the bowels of the Earth. It is a galling, accursed heavenly gospel.” |
| Izumi | (“The Devil Captive in Eternity”... This time, the story is set in Europe around the 18th century.) |
| (It tells of the battle between humans who made a contract with the devils, staking their lives on their success in the battle. It depicts the bond between humans and devils.) |
| Taichi | “This has to be a joke… Is this how my life is going to end…?” |
| Tsumugi | “Do you resent your destiny? Do you detest those who have entrapped you?” |
| Taichi | “Eh…” |
| Tsumugi | "Let me lend you my power--one that will overturn your destiny and turn into a blade that can help you gain revenge." |
| Taichi | "A devil…?" |
| Izumi | (We've only just begun our rehearsal, but… they're all more serious than usual.) |
| Taichi | "It's been a while, Cliff." |
| Azami | "Mark! When did you get released!?" |
| Taichi | "A week ago. Thanks for all your help." |
| Azami | "No, I should apologize since I couldn't be of any help. It was a disaster." |
| Taichi | "The real criminal surrendered to authorities the other day." |
| Azami | "I see. They should have turned themselves in sooner--. Putting that aside, I'm glad your innocence has been proven." |
| Izumi | (All of them have memorized their lines…) |
| Guy | "I could sense a devil." |
| Omi | "I don't see anyone who looks like a contractor." |
| Guy | "It smells unpleasant." |
| Omi | "So they're a devil you know?" |
| Izumi | (Tsumugi-san, Tasuku-san and Guy-san are more enthusiastic than in the beginning. That also goes for Taichi-kun and Omi-kun who's supporting him.) |
| Tsumugi | "--." |
| Tasuku | "Oops, not so fast. I wonder how many years has it been since we last fought?" |
| Tsumugi | "I don't remember. This is an opportunity that doesn't need to come back for the next thousands of years more." |
| Tasuku | "Don't be like that. I've been waiting for this moment forever. You only get serious once in hundreds of years, when that guy returns." |
| Izumi | (The heat is greater than ever here in the practice room.) |
| |
| Tsuzuru | They have all memorized the lines, huh. |
| Izumi | Yup. They're faster than usual. |
| Tasuku | I don't feel any difference, though. |
| Tsumugi | Once I got the script, I'd read it in my spare time. So I naturally memorized the lines. |
| Taichi | Me too. I read the script over and over again to memorize the lines as soon as possible. |
| Omi | Same with me. I accompanied Taichi reading the script and naturally have the lines inside my head now. |
| Azami | In my case, it's easier for me to memorize the lines by acting it out rather than reading. |
| Izumi | Are you like that too, Guy-san? |
| Guy | I pretty much memorized the lines after I read it once. |
| Taichi | Eeeh!? Really!? |
| Tsuzuru | You sure are impressive… |
| Guy | But it's a different story when it comes to whether or not I could act those lines out… |
| Manager | T-T-THIS IS BAD!!!! |
| Izumi | ? |
| Manager | Y-Y-Y-You see! We received an interview offer from that "Spotlight"!!! |
| Izumi | Eh!? Seriously!? |
| Taichi | Wow!! Is this Yuzo-san's impact!? |
| Tasuku | Still, that came faster than I expected. |
| Manager | Moreover, this isn't a troupe interview. They have specifically requested an individual interview with our very own scriptwriter, Tsuzuru Minagi! |
| Tsuzuru | Me!? |
| Tsumugi | That's amazing. |
| Tsuzuru | No, no, no. A troupe interview would have been plausible but an individual interview is out of the question! |
| Izumi | But this is such a rare chance… |
| Guy | They were the one who reached out to us. Shouldn't it be easy to give them an answer? |
| Tsuzuru | I'm too afraid! |
| Manager | I've discussed this with Furuichi-san just now, and he said that you absolutely have to accept the offer to promote our troupe! |
| Tsuzuru | Eeeh…! |
| Omi | You can't escape this now. |
| Tsuzuru | Are you guys for real…? It's too impossible for me to go alone. |
| Izumi | (He's right. I feel kinda sorry for Tsuzuru-kun if I make him go alone.) |
| If you're that worried, shall I go with you? |
| Tsuzuru | Please! |
| Manager | I will send them a reply, then! |
| I've also received the questions along with the offer. I'll give it to you later. |
| Ah, and then, they want us to bring the script for the much-talked-about Showdown Act! |
| Looks like they want to take a look at the rumored up-and-coming writer's script… |
| Izumi | But the interview is conducted prior to the show. Will that be all right? |
| Manager | I think there shouldn't be any problems if the photos and content of the script are not included in the article. |
| Tasuku | Just in case, you should tell them to be careful when handling the script. |
| Izumi | Okay! |
