Big Brother | “I’m different from others, so I was shunned by everyone around me. I was abandoned.” |
| “The blood of the devil is flowing in me. The blood of a filthy sinner—.” |
| “I’m not allowed to mingle with people. There’s nothing I can do but hold my breath and disappear, living like the dead.” |
Little Brother | “My brother has an exceptional talent. People are afraid of him and keep him at a distance.” |
| “Even though I believe his talent is a gift from God, my brother said it’s a devil’s curse.” |
| “Meanwhile. I wasn’t blessed with such significant talent. There was nothing I could do but be buried by the masses and live as a shadow.” |
Big Brother | “There’s no way he will ever understand.” |
Little Brother | “There’s no way he will ever understand.” |
Big Brother | “The pain of having a talent that you do not desire—.” |
Little Brother | “The pain of not having talent that you desire—.” |
Izumi | (What an amazing vigour… as if this is their first and last performance…) |
Tsumugi | (Their feelings are directly conveyed to the audience.) |
| (This is truly a head-on fight without any deception, because they present a simple play of two actors.) |
Tasuku | (Both the production and the script are totally different from your typical GOD-za plays. But...) |
Taichi | (This is a side of GOD-za that you’ve never seen before. Nonetheless it’s still of high quality. So we need to compete with this…) |
| |
Big Brother | “Blood and talent do not matter.” |
Little Brother | “That’s right. Brother and I have our own places.” |
Big Brother | “Let’s go.” |
Little Brother | “Let’s move forward.” |
Big Brother | “To the light—.” |
Little Brother | “To the future—.” |
| *applause* |
Reni | (So they revised the script from scratch, huh. It’s a well-made piece that was created within a day.) |
| (They’ve grown more than I thought.) |
Izumi | (Amazing… They managed to attract this much attention with only two people.) |
Tsuzuru | (The script… and the lines… are something I can’t write. GOD-za is indeed amazing. I need to work harder…!) |
Audience A | I was surprised! It wasn’t your typical GOD-za play! |
Audience B | Mood! But it was really good, wasn’t it!? |
Audience C | Did they change the cast too? |
Audience A | I think it’s just as announced? Since the top actor is a new kid. He’s got different vibes from the previous top actors, so I feel like we can expect something from him. |
Audience B | Haruto-san is as good as usual! |
Audience C | He’s more fired up than before! I like it! |
Audience A | I feel like I’m watching a new phase of GOD-za. |
Tasuku | They really delivered a totally different play. |
Guy | To think they could finish this piece in such a short amount of time… |
Sakyo | Not only the production and script, but they also managed to gather scene shifters who could handle this. |
Izumi | Not only are their actors great, but they also have good organizational ability. |
Omi | After being shown such a thing, we have to give it our all even more. |
Azami | Shifuto, you’re amazin’... This has always been your dream, after all. I’m also gonna deliver a performance that won’t embarrass you. |
Tasuku | Haruto has also become more expressive than before. |
Tsumugi | We can’t lose to them. |
Tasuku | Yeah. |
Misumi | Madoka… |
Kusumi | Uh… uh… I-I… |
Reni | ...Don’t you dare run away. |
| |
Shifuto | *pants* *pants*... |
Madoka | Good work, you two! |
Haruto | Nice work. Well for our first play, it’s not like we—. |
Shifuto | WE DID IT—!! |
Madoka | —eh. |
Haruto | Urrgh! It’s so stuffy! Don’t hug me! |
Shifuto | ...Acting is so fun. It felt so good to hear the audience’s applause. |
Haruto | Your face is a mess. A top actor should never make that face. |
Madoka | Me too. I was happy to have you two act out a story that I freely wrote. |
| To have you two express my true feelings that I put in my script… |
| I’m so overwhelmed with emotion right now. |
Haruto | Great work to you too. You did well. |
| *applause* |
Reni | … |
Shifuto | Reni-san—! |
Haruto | I apologize. This is all my… |
Shifuto | No, it’s me—! |
Madoka | The change in the script was due to my own selfishness—! Please don’t fire them! |
Reni | ...It was a good play. |
Haruto | ...Eh? |
Shifuto | Hah? |
Reni | Shifuto, Haruto, the audience hasn’t stopped applauding. |
| Once the curtain rises, stand with confidence. It’s GOD-za’s way to stay fabulous even until the curtain call. |
Shifuto | —Yes! |
Haruto | Yes! |
| |
Shifuto | Thank you! |
Haruto | Thanks! |

Announcer | MANKAI Company’s play is about to begin. For those who are still in the lobby, please go back to your seats. |
Taichi | … |
Tsumugi | Are you alright, Taichi-kun? |
Taichi | Eh, eh!? Y-Yeah, I’m fine! |
Guy | Your hands are trembling. |
Taichi | !! |
Tasuku | Being back here sure made us recall a lot of things. |
Taichi | ...Yeah. |
Tsumugi | You’re going to be fine. The current Taichi-kun is different from the past Taichi-kun. |
| You should show them your true self. |
Guy | You’ve practiced more than enough. Be confident. |
Azami | You’re going to go on stage as you are, aren’t you? |
Omi | —Taichi. |
Taichi | ? |
Omi | Take a look at this. |
Taichi | Eh… this is… an album? |
| There are photos from rehearsals and plays... |
Tsumugi | You’re smiling in all of them. |
Omi | I left the last page blank for this day. |
Taichi | —. |
Omi | You’ll be fine this time too. |
Taichi | Yes—yes! |
| I’ll just think about having fun on the stage and nothing else. |
| I hope I can fill that page with huge smiles so that... I can still smile tomorrow. |
Azami | That’s the spirit. |
Guy | You stopped trembling. |
Tasuku | I’m sure you can do it. |
Tsumugi | —Let’s go. Let’s overcome our past together. |
Taichi | Yes! |
