| Masumi | … |
| (There’s no vacant seat around…) |
 |
| Madoka | – |
| You can sit over here. |
| Masumi | … thank you. |
| You’re writing GOD-za’s script? |
| Madoka | Yeah. Recently I’ve been visiting GOD-za’s training hall, I need to keep studying theatre after all. |
| Masumi | Hee… |
| Madoka | After our loss in the act off, everyone in GOD-za’s been more motivated, of course Haruto-san and Shifuto included. |
| Everyone’s practicing with all they have. |
| Kamikizaka-san also changed towards a good direction. |
| How’s your side doing? |
| Masumi | We decided that I’ll be the ‘lead’ for the upcoming Spring Troupe performance. |
| Madoka | Really. Congrats. |
| Masumi | I’m going to do my best for her sake. |
| Madoka | Her? |
| Masumi | It’s the director. |
| Madoka | You’re going to do your best for the director’s sake? |
| Masumi | I started acting for her sake. |
| All the good performances I’ve done so far were to kindle our love. |
| Madoka | Ki, kindle your love…? |
| Fukunaga | That’s wonderful! |
| So your passionate fire of love has polished your performances until now! |
| Madoka | !? |
| Fukunaga | You should promptly get that Director-san to come to this year’s school festival’s performance! |
| Masumi | I told you she won’t come. |
| Fukunaga | Ikaruga-kun! For his sake and for his director’s sake, let’s write a good script! |
| Madoka | I haven’t started writing anything. |
| Fukunaga | Not yet! |
| Masumi | Ha… |
| Fukunaga | You started acting for that person, and now you’re aiming higher to become a better actor for her, such a melodramatic scenario! |
| Madoka | Then, what if, you never met with Director-san, Masumi, would you be doing acting at all. |
| Masumi | There’s no such thing as a world where the Director and I won’t meet, our meeting was fate after all. |
| When I manage to become her ideal actor, we would finally be connected as one… |
| Fukunaga | Fyuuu. |
| Madoka | You’re really a passionate one… |
| Fukunaga | For you to be so head over heels over her, this director-san would be a very attractive person, isn’t it. |
| Masumi | Of course. She loves curry, always working hard, pretty nice, likes curry, loves theatre, loves curry. |
| Madoka | So she likes curry that much… |
| Fukunaga | But for such a nice person, I would be worried if I was her boyfriend~ |
| Masumi | …We’re not going out yet. |
| Fukunaga | Eh!? |
| Usui-kun that doesn’t sound like you, don’t say that she already has a boyfriend? |
| Masumi | … She doesn't. |
| Fukunaga | But, if you approach me so passionately, even I would relent sooner or later. |
| Masumi | I don’t want to approach you. |
| Fukunaga | It’s just an if! |
| That’s why I was thinking there might be someone else on her mind. |
| Masumi | (Director has another guy on her mind…?) |
| – |
| (It can’t be… It’s impossible.) |
| *Shifts to Living Room* |
 |
| Itaru | Since Masumi-kun is the lead, I have an idea for a sequel. |
| We can make Alice in Wonderland II. |
| Sakuya | We’ve never done a sequel before, so it sounds like a refreshing new idea! |
| Tsuzuru | But the rabbit ears… |
| Citron | Then how about puppy ears? |
| Summer Troupe already used cat ears, so we should try something different. |
| Itaru | Is this a new animal series or something… |
| Tsuzuru | I’m not going to make such series!? |
| Chikage | Masumi’s good at sword fighting, why not we try a performance that can make use of his skill? |
| Izumi | Spring Troupe doesn’t really have a performance with battles and stuffs, maybe we can make it work! |
| Masumi | … |
| Tsuzuru | Masumi? Something bothering you? |
| Masumi | It’s nothing… |
| Izumi | ? |
| Itaru | If you want to make use of something Masumi’s good at, the other choice would be… |
| Sakuya | Ah! What about story about magicians!? |
| He learns a lot of magic tricks from Chikage-san after all. |
| Chikage | I see. |
| We can showcase the result of your training. |
| Tsuzuru | It sounds like it’s going to be a good theme, sounds like it can highlight the brightness of Spring Troupe too. |
| Citron | We played some live performances during the Quartet performance, maybe we can do the same with magic this time. |
| Izumi | Sounds fun, I’m looking forward to it! |
| Itaru | If it’s magic, then the co-lead would be senpai? |
| Sakuya | It’s the master-pupil combination! |
| Tsuzuru | Sounds great, why not. |
| Citron | I approve! |
| Chikage | I don’t mind. |
| Masumi | … |
| Izumi | Masumi-kun, will you be alright with this arrangement? |
| Masumi | … Yeah. |
| Izumi | (His answer’s a bit vague, I wonder if this is going to be alright…) |
| Tsuzuru | Then I’ll start thinking of a plot. |
| Izumi | Yeah, I’ll leave it to you. |
| *Shifts to Corridor* |
 |
| Masumi | … |
| Chikage | Masumi, is this alright? |
| Masumi | ? |
| Chikage | You were practicing to hold a magic show for Director-san, weren’t you. |
| If we’re doing it on the stage, your performance will not be exclusive to Director-san anymore. |
| Masumi | Ah… It’s alright. |
| Even if other people see it, I would still be able to convey my desire to show it to Director, it’s no problem at all. |
| Chikage | You’re so consistent. |
| Masumi | Just consistent? |
| Chikage | Ah… Well, if you’re satisfied then it’s fine. |
| Masumi | … |
| Chikage | (Since earlier, I’ve been feeling something weird… |
| Well, it’s Masumi after all, most probably it’s something about Director-san |
| Such a pure love is not my specialty…) |
| … the upcoming performance, I’m looking forward to work with you. |
| Masumi | Yeah. |
| *Shifts to Itaru/Chikage's Room* |
 |
| Itaru | Woah, the rug’s expensive. |
| Chikage | … |
| Itaru | Ah, how’s Masumi? |
| Chikage | Masumi? |
| Itaru | I thought you went to talk to him? |
| Chikage | So you saw. |
| Itaru | I’m his dad after all. |
| Chikage | And I’m the grandfather huh. |
| But he seemed to be fine for now, how to say… |
| Is it alright for me to give my grandson some pocket money. |
| Itaru | I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work on that one grandson. |
| Maybe a bromide of Director-san will work instead. |
| Chikage | You’re right. Well, since I’ll be co-starring, I shall communicate with him carefully. |
| Itaru | Please do so. |
| Chikage | By the way, how was he during the Alice performance? |
| You were the co-lead right. |
| Itaru | Ah… |
| We understood that we cannot understand each other. |
| Chikage | What’s that. |
| But, I think I will be the same. |
| Itaru | Nah, senpai’s pretty unexpected, I think you might actually understand each other normally. |
| I don’t have any basis for saying that, but if you find nothing in common with him, you won’t even teach him magic. |
| That dry part was somehow similar as well. |
| Chikage | Starting from the basics. |
| Our age difference is quite big… how about that. |
| Above everything else, it doesn’t help that Masumi’s most prominent feature, being his passionate love, it’s not similar to me at all. |
| Itaru | Well, around the time when Spring Troupe was formed, there was a time when Masumi lost his passion in love. That’s when everyone started sharing love stories to him. |
| Chikage | Love stories… huh. |
| Itaru | Why not senpai go ahead and present one to him as well. |
| Chikage | Are you serious? |
| Itaru | Well, I don’t expect any interesting story to come out from you though. |
| Chikage | I don’t want to hear that from you. |
| Well, I was told straight to the face that he doesn’t want to share love stories with me. |
| Itaru | Haha. So Masumi understands well. |
