Madoka | ...I didn’t write those lines. |
Shifuto | So your father did? |
Madoka | Yes. It’s the part father revised after receiving feedback from Kamikizaka-san. |
Haruto | He sure did a good job. |
Shifuto | Reni-san likes those lines. |
Madoka | I see… |
| … |
Shifuto | What’s wrong? |
Madoka | No, it’s just… those lines have been on my mind ever since I first read it… |
| He has never written in that style up until now. |
Haruto | Maybe he broke new ground? |
Madoka | ...As far as I know, father has always been in a slump. He’s never been able to write a complete piece of manuscript. |
| That’s why I just can’t believe that father really wrote those lines. |
Shifuto | Maybe Reni-san wrote them himself. |
Haruto | Nope, Reni-san looked pleased when he received the script. It doesn’t look like he wrote the lines himself. |
Shifuto | So who on earth wrote them… |
Haruto | There’s no point in thinking about it that much. Anyway, the top actor should just act as Reni-san says. |
Shifuto | Well, yeah… |
| By the way, you’re gonna come and watch the show, right, Madoka? Although the script was not entirely done by you, you still partook in the writing process. |
Madoka | Father told me not to get close to GOD Theater… |
Shifuto | Even though you wrote the script!? |
Haruto | Isn’t that obviously because he doesn’t want people to find out he has a ghostwriter? |
Madoka | … |
Shifuto | Oh, yeah! Why don’t we have Haruto-san sneak you in, then!? |
Haruto | Haaah? Why should I… |
Shifuto | Don’t you think it’s weird for the writer to not be able to watch the play he wrote? |
Haruto | But what should we do if we get caught by Reni-san? |
Shifuto | It’s not like Reni-san will stop us. We should be fine. With that said, it’s settled! |
Haruto | Hey, you—. |
Madoka | Can I really go watch it? |
Haruto | God… It should be safe if we do it during the dress rehearsal, a day before the show. |
Madoka | Thank you. |
Shifuto | We’ve gotta do our best then, since Madoka is gonna come to watch. |
| Oh, right, should we eat something? |
Haruto | Don't tell me, it's croquette udon again? |
Madoka | Is it alright with you? |
Shifuto | I’m gonna make it now. ‘Sides, Oruto will come home soon. |
Haruto | Do you even have any other options? Like kitsune or tanuki udon… |
Shifuto | But croquette udon is yummy, y'know! It's filling too. |
Madoka | Oh, by the way… I've started writing it. |
Shifuto | Eh? |
Haruto | Write what? |
Madoka | The script I freely write. I'm free right now, so… |
| I don't plan on showing it to anyone, but it's been a while since I’ve had this much fun writing. |
Shifuto | I see. |
Haruto | So it's the one with me as the lead—. |
Shifuto | It's me, right? Right? |
Haruto | Stop going after the same thing! |
Madoka | Ahaha. The story is actually something that I've been mulling over for so long. |
| Since this is a story that I've finally gotten to write, I'll be happy if you two perform it one day. |
Shifuto | But first, we need to win the Showdown Act, right? |
Madoka | Do you also have rehearsal tomorrow? |
Haruto | Obviously. It's our last spurt. |
Shifuto | Oh, I may be late tomorrow, though. |
Haruto | Haaah!? |
Shifuto | I can just leave my part-time job in the middle. |
Haruto | Part-time job, you say…!? Are you even aware that you're the top actor!? Being a top actor means that you should—. |
Shifuto | I'm only gonna be late for 15 minutes. 'Sides, I already talked about it with Reni-san. |
Haruto | Listen to what people say until the end! |
| |
Laborer | Please take care of this one next. |
Shifuto | 'Kaay. |
| (I wonder if I can get there in time if I work hard and get off early…) |
Kumon | Ah! Shifuto! |
Shifuto | Oh, hey. Long time no see. |
Kumon | Say, do you have some time after work? |
Shifuto | Sorry, I have rehearsal right after this… |
Kumon | There's someone I really want you to meet. As an actor—. |
Shifuto | No, sorry, I won't make it in time if I don't hurry. |
Kumon | How about after your practice, then!? Can we meet? |
Shifuto | Ah, I don't mind, but there's a chance I will be kept after practice, though. So I may be late… |
Kumon | It's OK! I'll wait! |
Shifuto | I'll contact you once I'm done. |
Kumon | Yup yup! |
| |
Shifuto | Ugh… I was told to stay until late again today. I need to hurry—. |
Kumon | Over here! |
Azami | … |
Shifuto | ...Huh? |
Azami | ...Why? |
