Previous Main Story Next
IzumiI'm Tachibana, one of the invitees.
Staff AWe've been expecting you. Mr. Kashima is hoping to see you, so please wait at your seat after the performance ends.
Izumi(Whoa, it's a full house…)
(I wonder if this is the impact of his "Spotlight" feature, since it seemed to be well-received.)
(I kind of feel bad for getting the ticket through invitation…)
Audience Member AHey, hey. Isn't that…
Izumi?
Audience Member BNo way! Reni Kamikizaka?
Reni
Izumi(Oh, it's Kamikizaka-san. He sure is popular. I should go greet him after the performance.)
(I've already watched this before, but it was better than last time… Both the actors' performance and the quality of the production were better.)
(The sharpness of the sword fight was something else… We could sense their vigor. It swallowed us up. We couldn't look away.)
(The staging was also well-balanced. It was interesting. I didn't know there's such a way to direct a play… I learnt something new.)
(Haaah… the play ended before I knew it. I'll recommend this to everyone!)
(I was told to wait after the performance…)
Reni
Izumi(Oh, Kamikizaka-san also remained in his seat.)
Hello.
ReniHello. So you came too, huh.
IzumiI'd received an invitation from Yuzo-san--.
Yuzo--Hey. How was it?
IzumiYuzo-san! It was so interesting! I was impressed by the production!
Reni...Kashima, the beginning of the second act was the idea that Tachibana came up with for the first-gen Spring Troupe's play, wasn't it?
IzumiEh!? My dad!?
YuzoHaha, you could've said it was an homage.
That aside, I wanted to talk about Yukio-san with you two. Can we move to the waiting room?
Now, about that guy--.
IzumiHuh? That script…
ReniCan you explain to me why this guy has the thing that you should have been keeping?
IzumiMy apologies. In the end, I wanted the first-gen member to keep that…
YuzoHave you read this?
Reni
YuzoThis story is certainly one that is solely dedicated to us first-gens.
I was wonderin' what Hakkaku-san was thinkin' when he wrote this story while lyin' in the hospital bed--…
IzumiYuzo-san…
Yuzo...M'bad. I got emotional.
I want to perform this… Though I know we have a very tough one among us.
Izumi
(He must be referring to Dad… We can't even contact him. What should we do…)
YuzoBut well, there's a chance that damn stubborn guy will change his tune if we keep persuadin' him.
Izumi?
ReniHm?
YuzoThough I may not look like it, I'm still his childhood friend… Guess I need to do something about it.
ReniHuh? So you're talking about Hinamori?
IzumiNo, no, no, hold on! Our biggest obstacle here is the appointed director a.k.a. my dad, right?
Yuzo...Ah, I see.
In that case, I'll send the script to his place and have someone ask him about the production plan. If worst comes to worst, we can just ask him through a phone call.
ReniHuh?
IzumiEh?
Yuzo...I suppose I was indeed bein' mean to you.
...I've always been trying to find the right timing, so I couldn't tell you this.
Izumi--.
YuzoYour father--Yukio Tachibana-san is still alive.
Izumi!!
YuzoAfter he disappeared without telling anyone, I was the only one who kept in touch with him through phone calls.
ReniKashima, you…
YuzoSometimes I'd tell him about how hard you’ve been working after establishing the newborn MANKAI Company. He was happy to hear that.
IzumiDad is… alive…
Thank goodness… *sobs* Dad… *sobs*
Yuzo...Sorry. I couldn't tell you due to the circumstances.
ReniWhat kind of circumstances does he have that he couldn't even tell his own daughter about it? He's as selfish as ever.
YuzoDon't say that. In the unlikely event that Yukio-san's whereabouts get leaked out, that person won't be able to involve himself in the theater industry anymore.
For that person, it's just the same as death.
Izumi--.
YuzoHakkaku-san's will might have given me the chance to talk about it like this now.
Listen, you mustn't breathe a word of what I'm going to tell you to anyone else.
Frankly speaking… that person has been put into a situation where he can't do any activities in this country's theater industry, let alone in Veludo Way.
