| *knock knock* |
Sakyo | Ah, director-san, you're here. |
Izumi | Sorry to interrupt you, we're you reading? |
Sakyo | No, don't worry about it. Is it time to film for commemorative video already? |
Izumi | Yes, I'm counting on you. |
| I will be filming Azami-kun right after you but Azami-kun... |
Sakyo | If you're looking for Azami, he's over there. |
Izumi | (Oh, he's listening to music on his bed) |
Sakyo | Oi, Azami. We're going to start filming the video now. |
Azami | Ah, is that so? Not like I'm interested in shitty Sakyo's starring stage. Anyways, I'm stepping out so you can do as you Plea~se. |
Sakyo | Geez... |
| Anyways, let's get down to the business. I'm going to roll the dice. |
Izumi | Yes please. |
| Sakyo-san's topic is... "Best Performance". |
Sakyo | Sigh...Wouldn't it sound like I will be just lifting my own chair? I'm not even used to praising myself. |
Izumi | Now, now, do you have a scene in mind? |
Sakyo | Best performance, huh. If I have to choose one, then it's-- |
| |
| *beep* |
Izumi | (Finale Performance. The scene where Kazama broke into Kosei Organization's base alone.) |
Kazama | "Yokota, I'm done with your dirty schemes." |
Yokota | "Kazama ... Ginji." |
Kazama | "The dragon inside me is crying out every night. It thirst to kill and devour scoundrels like you! " |
Yokota | "... !" |
Kazama | "Haa!" |
| *schwing* |
Izumi | (Kazama and Yokota clashed powerfully... Especially, their finale performance sent shivers down my spine. ) |
Yokota | "Oraah!" |
| *hit* |
Kazama | "Ngh ! Haa !" |
| *schwing* |
Yokota | "Kuh! Ugh !" |
Yokota | "Kuh! Shit.. " |
Kousei Organization Member A | "You, Bastard ! Who do you think you are?! " |
Kazama | " !! " |
| *"schwing* |
Kousei Organization Member A | "Kuaaaa!" |
Kousei Organization Member B | "Kuaaaa!" |
Kazama | "pant.. pant.." |
Kazama | " Ngh... " |
Izumi | (Yokota fell down. Blood-stained and worn out Kazama collapsed after slashing the last of Kousei's members.) |
| It's been a long time since I watched it again. It's a wonderful performance. |
Sakyo | I was thrilled after seeing the aggressiveness in Yokota's expression. I'm glad I was able to express battle of life and death between men on this humble stage of Mankai Theater. I'm not sure if it's the best one I had but if I am going to choose one, then it is this performance. |
Izumi | It is a very good choice. |
| During the finale, Ginsenkai's chairman came to watch performance. Because of that, Autumn Troupe acted on stage burning with so much passion than they ever did. |
Sakyo | The guys in the Autumn Troupe was extremely thrilled when they found out. I tried my best to not to think about it but before I knew it, their passion already influenced me. It was burning hot. |
Izumi | Fufu, it's indeed burning hot but isn't it a good thing? |
Sakyo | You're right. |
Izumi | The message part is finished too. I can't wait to see the reaction of everyone in Autumn Troupe after they watching it. |
Sakyo | Somehow, I feel like blurted out something immature. |
| *door opening* |
Azami | Hey, aren't you not done yet? |
Izumi | Ah, yeah. We finished the filming just now. |
Sakyo | Can't you tell? I know you've been eavesdropping a while ago. |
Azami | Hah?! Why would I be interested in you? You're way too self-conscious, shitty Sakyo. |
| Also, we will start filming my part. If you're done with your business, go and leave already. |
Sakyo | Good grief. Director-san, I'm leaving Bon's filming in your care. |
Izumi | Yup. Leave it to me. |
| *door closing* |
Azami | He finally left. Let's sta-- |
| *door opening* |
Sakyo | Oi, bon. Just don't go about talking about make-up. Keep the commentary about your starring role--- yadda yadda. |
Azami | You're so noisy! I know what I'm doing. Shut up and leave, won't you?! |
| *door closing* |
| sigh |
Izumi | Okay then, let's start by rolling the dice. |
Azami | Got it. |
| Best performance? |
Izumi | Oh, Sakyo-san got the same topic earlier. Isn't it a great coincide-- |
| (Oops..) |
Azami | Hah? What's so great about getting the same topic as him? Let me roll the dice one more time. |
Izumi | (As much as possible, I don't want him to re-roll the dice but it's my fault for blabbering out too much) |
| If you insist but just one more time, okay? |
| Your topic is "Success born out of failure". |
Azami | If it was the actual me and not Abel, I wouldn't survive. |
Izumi | (The Undead Performance relies heavily on intense action and massive zombie brawls. Despite the narrow stage, they were able to execute the action scenes properly. It's quite normal for Autumn Troupe to suffer small cuts and injury during the performance. It might've been the same with previous Autumn Troupe.) |
| Other than Taichi-kun, everyone is used to fighting so they probably don't mind getting small injuries but I can't help but to get worried. |
Azami | I remember almost getting injured once. |
| |
| *Beep* |
Izumi | (Day 4 of the performance, The scene where Abel confronted Bill) |
Undead Dog | "Grrrr" |
Abel | "Tch ! They kept on coming one after another !" |
Ivan | "Oh hey, come on, little puppies! Aren't you a good boy ?!" |
| *bang bang* |
Abel | "Haa...!" |
| *hit* |
Undead Dog | "Grooowl" |
| *bump* |
Abel | "...! " |
Bill | "..." |
Azami | I accidentally bumped into one of ensemble cast who's acting as a zombie. |
Izumi | It was physically tough to brawl with them. |
| But at that very moment, Sakyo-san's role, Bill, who has always been cold hearted since the beginning, changed his expression to that of a father who's worried about his son. |
Bill | "You foods, should just behave while being eaten!" |
Abel | "Father, I will end you with my own hands... Haa!" |
| |
Izumi | (Sakyo-san immediately changed back his expression but most of the audience already noticed it. It gave a good glimpse of Bill's emotion as a father. It even received good reviews from the questionnaires. ) |
Azami | Shitty Sakyo was completely disappointed after. He looked bitter after the performance. |
| But looking at it now, the expression he had for Abel, wasn't really that bad. |
Izumi | (Azami-kun is not only keen about makeup. He's also keen on observing his co-actor's facial expressions.) |
Azami | We're done with commentary, right? |
Izumi | The message is so typical of you, Azami-kun. You ended up talking about makeups. |
Azami | I think the message is good enough. |
Izumi | Yup. Anything is good as long as you put your feelings into it. |
| We're done filming. Shall I contact Sakyo-san and let him back in? |
Azami | You can just leave him alone. |
Izumi | Now, now, I'll just report to him. |
| *ring* |
Sakyo | [Hello?] |
Izumi | Ah, Sakyo-san. We just finished Azami-kun's filming. |
Sakyo | [ I see. I'm on my way to Ginsenkai's office. The chairman called me.] |
Izumi | It seems like an important business. |
Sakyo | [I'll be back at night.] |
Izumi | Understood. |
Azami | Tell him not to go home after a week. |
Sakyo | [ I can hear you.] |
Azami | It's extremely hard to think of what to say for the commentary because of all your nagging a while ago! |
Sakyo | [ It seems like you've given a proper commentary though?] |
Azami | At least it's better than certain someone's --- |
Izumi | W-wait up, you two! Don't fight over my phone, okay?! |
