| Bar Master | Welcome. |
| Reni | … |
| Yuzo | My companions should have arrived earlier--. |
| Bar Master | I've heard about that. This way, please. |
| Yuzo | It's been a while since we gathered at this bar. |
| Reni | This is my first time here. |
| Yuzo | Oh, really? |
| Syu | Hey. |
| Yuzo | Sorry to have kept you waitin'. |
| Hiro | ...Hic. |
| Syu | Haven't seen ya in ages, Reiji. |
| Reni | Yes. Looks like you haven't changed. |
| Syu | And you look so much better than the last time I saw ya. |
| Reni | Well, yes. |
| Hiro | ...Hic, hic. |
| Yuzo | Hey, Hiro, you're drunk already? |
| Syu | He's the type to drink away his pain, huh. He's completely wasted. |
| He said he went to visit the current Summer Troupe leader after he got him injured with his taunts. But even then, he was still stern with him. |
| Yuzo | Heh. |
| Reni | You shouldn't say anything if you're going to despise yourself afterward. |
| Hiro | Ugh… |
| Syu | But y'see, this guy right here said everythin' he was told to in the past to Tenma Sumeragi. |
| Yuzo | Didn't you look forward to co-starring with him? |
| Hiro | … |
| I was watching his past works when I found out that he guest-starred on the riders show. My son became his fan after that. |
| Yuzo | So you're jealous of him? How miserable. |
| Hiro | But that's not all. My childhood dream was to appear on that rider show, you see. |
| I was over the moon when I got the rider role for the first time. I was around Tenma-kun's age at that time. |
| But then I heard Tenma-kun got the role through connections. I couldn't help but be pissed. |
| Reni | Benefiting from his parents' influence, huh… |
| Yuzo | While I do admit the Sumeragi couple has a tremendous presence in the showbiz industry, that guy has a lot of guts. |
| Even though he inherited the talent and aptitude from his parents, he doesn't depend on that. He's the type of actor who always pushes himself and aims for the highest star. |
| Even during the new Summer Troupe's debut play, I was planning to dampen his confidence and guided him, but he wasn't discouraged at all. He's a hardworking fellow. |
| Hiro | I know that he's a great actor just by watching his past works…! |
| *sniffs* Uuuh, so why did I do that kind of thing… |
| Syu | He's one annoying drunkass. |
| Reni | His heart is as fragile as ever. |
| *bell rings* |
| Bar Master | Welcome. |
| Zen | Sorry. I'm late. |
| Hiro | Dammit all… hic. |
| Zen | Who's this drunkard? |
| Reni | Summer Troupe's leader. |
| Zen | You must be kidding me. You sure you're not mistaking him for someone else? |
| Hiro | He's not! Take a close look! |
| Zen | All I see is an unknown man with a ruddy face. |
| Hiro | Hey!! |
| Syu | Alright, y'all better drop it now. |
| Yuzo | I think we're all here now. |
| Zen | Is Kasumi not coming? |
| Yuzo | I tried calling him, but… It looks like that guy still needs some time. |
| Instead of him, we have a guest we haven't seen in a while here. |
| Hiro | Aah, you're right. |
| Zen | How many years has it been? |
| Syu | More than 20 years I think? |
| Reni | … |
| Zen | His rebellious phase lasts quite long. |
| Syu | I know, right. |
| Reni | Who's in a rebellious phase? |
| We're not here to reminisce about the past, are we? --This is why we're here. |
| Syu | A manuscript? |
| Yuzo | It's Hakkaku-san's posthumous work that he left for us. |
| Hiro | Posthumous work… |
| Yuzo | Hakkaku-san died eight years ago. |
| Zen | --. |
| Hiro | Hakkaku-san… |
| Zen | I see… I had a feeling he’d passed away since I haven't heard any of his works lately. |
| Yuzo | I also learned about that recently. |
| Hiro | I totally had no clue… |
| Yuzo | He appointed us as the cast. The director will be Yukio Tachibana. |
| Syu | Hiro is the lead actor, huh. |
| Hiro | Hakkaku-san appointed me as the lead actor…? Moreover, does that mean the first-gen can perform this piece…? |
| Reni | If you have the motivation, that is. |
| Hiro | I'm totally in! I have no reason to refuse this! |
| Zen | I also don't mind it. Hakkaku-san had been taking care of me; I want to make his wish come true. |
| Syu | I'm in too. You can never go wrong with Hakkaku-san's script. It sounds fun. |
| Hiro | Ah, but Yukio… |
| Yuzo | Don't tell this to anybody, but I'm actually still in touch with Yukio-san. |
| Hiro | What!? |
| Zen | I see. |
| Syu | And here I thought he was contactin' Reiji. |
| Hiro | Why aren't you all surprised? |
| Zen | Well, just because. |
| Syu | I just assumed he still keeps in touch with someone. |
| Zen | I'm glad he's safe. |
| Syu | Geez, he makes people worried for nothin'. |
| Yuzo | In any case, Yukio-san has accepted to direct this play. He'll use an alias until the end. |
| He's also looking forward to your visit. |
| Reni | ...Yeah. |
| Hiro | You're gonna visit him? |
| Reni | I'll go there to ask about the production plan. |
| Syu | Take your time to make up with him. |
| Reni | Hmph. |
| Yuzo | For the production plan, let's just leave it to both of them. Once I drag Kasumi along, the cast will be complete. |
| The next problem is, where should we perform the play? |
| Syu | Since Reiji is here, why don't we do it at GOD Theater? 'Sides, Hiro and I will appear in the play. We need a pretty big place. |
| Reni | Don't say whatever you want. GOD Theater will always be exclusive to GOD-za only. |
| Apart from GOD-za's veterans, I can't let MANKAI Company's veterans stand on that stage. |
| Zen | In that case, how about the theater you always use, Yuzo? |
| Yuzo | Rather than that, how about the dinner theater you own, Zen-san? |
| Syu | Now we're completely aimin' for a private event. |
| Zen | Are you planning to flood my restaurant or what? I refuse. |
| Hiro | ...I want to perform this at MANKAI Theater. |
| Yuzo | --. |
| Hiro | If we're going to perform Hakkaku-san's script with the old members, I want to do it at that theater. |
