Madoka | Masumi! |
Masumi | ? |
Madoka | Thank you for inviting me to the performance before. |
| I watched your performance during “Adventures of Kurou” too, it’s pretty different but a wonderful performance regardless. |
Masumi | Do come to watch again. |
| Next one will be Summer after all. |
Madoka | Yeah! |
| But, Masumi is really good at magic tricks huh. |
| I didn’t expect you to really do a magic trick when you were playing the magician, I was really surprised. |
Masumi | Well, regarding the magic trick, tomorrow will be the time for the real deal. |
Madoka | Eh? I thought the finale performance has ended? |
| *Shifts to Dorm* |
Izumi | Alright…. Then, today’s schedule will be… |
| Hmm? |
| There’s an envelope under the door… |
| … |
| …An invitation? |
|
| “You are invited to a dazzling party of magic.” |
| The venue will be… MANKAI theatre. |
| (The sender is [m/u]… Masumi-kun?) |
| Anyway, I’l get prepared and go over. |
| *Shifts to Stage* |
Masumi | … |
Izumi | Masumi-kun? |
Masumi | Welcome, over here. |
| Everything in today’s magic performance will be just for you— |
| Please enjoy yourself. |
| First of all, look over here– |
Izumi | – |
| (Amazing, Masumi-kun’s magic trick has evolved. |
| He can handle the hand movement much smoother because of the practice and performances, he can also do a lot of different types of magic now…) |
| *Short Time Skip* |
Masumi | It’s regrettable, but last but not least, I have a small gift for you… |
| *comes closer* |
Izumi | !! |
| (–It’s Violet.) |
Masumi | Actually, I want to give you a real flower… |
| But it’s hard to do it with magic. |
| But, even an artificial flower has its good point. |
| …It will never wither. |
| This flower, is my love. |
| My feelings towards you that will never wither in this lifetime. |
| That’s why, I’m happy if you’ll accept it. |
Izumi | Masumi-kun… |
Masumi | I know that I’m only bothering you by confessing to you so many times. |
| I’ve graduated from high school, and I’m reaching 20, but I’m not the target of your love after all… |
| That’s why, you don’t have to give me a reply now. |
| I will continue to do my best on acting from now on, and I hope that you can love me as much as I love you one day. |
| But, I only have one wish… |
| From now onwards, when I stand on this stage, please continue to look at me. |
Izumi | …Alright, I got it. |
| I promise you. |
Masumi | …I’m glad. |
| Hey, are you going to do theatre for the rest of your life? |
Izumi | Eh? Yeah, I thought a lot about it. |
Masumi | Even after you’re married, have kids, or move to a faraway places? |
Izumi | Looking at me right now, I don’t have such a plan yet but… |
| It will be great if I can continue to do theatre for the rest of my life. |
| I’m sure that wherever I ended up at, whatever situation I ended up with, I will always be thinking about theatre all my life. |
| Similar to Dad, who cannot get away from theatre… |
Masumi | …I see. |
| (Then… I’m sure that you will always look at me.) |
Izumi | Anyway, thank you for your wonderful show. |
Masumi | –Yeah. |
| *Shifts to Lounge* |
Chikage | … |
Masumi | …There you are. |
Chikage | Oh, how’s the show? |
Masumi | It’s a great success. |
Chikage | Is that so. I’m glad. |
| You really mastered them well. |
Masumi | I planned to do the second and third show, so I want to increase my repertoire about 3 times from what I have now. |
Chikage | You’re really motivated. |
| Since it’s Masumi, did you manage to do another passionate confession again today? |
Masumi | Of course. |
| But, I realized something from the performance this time. |
| I would be very happy if she could love me as much as I love her, and I’ll continue to do my best in order for that to happen, but… |
| Rather than being loved by her, I think it’s much more important for me to always love her with all I have. |
| There are different forms of love after all. |
| I’ll aim for the ideal mutual love, but for me, for her to be healthy and happy, for her to be able to eat a lot of curry that she loved so much… |
| I’ll keep performing on stage as she wished, and if she can keep laughing that way, that will be my number one aim. |
| If I can really see her like that, I’m pretty sure that I can be happy from the bottom of my heart too. |
Chikage | – |
Masumi | What. |
Chikage | How to say, Masumi… You’ve grown up. |
Masumi | Even if I grow up, I’ll never change. |
| (It’s the same with Kiel. |
| The magic of my first love, it will never disappear from my life. |
| Until the day I die, I will never give up on this fated love of mine.) |
Chikage | …The power of love is really great. |
| The boy has finally awakened his view on love. |
Masumi | … |
Chikage | You don’t need to write it down. |
