Izumi Eh!! Really!? Kasumi Yeah, the special paperback issue was well received, so it became a talk to make a WEB issue for “Spotlight”. We would like to do an interview to promote Spring Troupe 7th performance as well, are you okay with this? Izumi Yeah! Of course! Kasumi Everytime a new performance is out, I would like you to support me with updating the WEB issues accordingly. Izumi Woah, thank you so much! Kasumi Actually, I really want to do the interview with everyone in Spring Troupe but… Since it’s this kind of article, I’ll let you talk with the lead and co-lead beforehand. A bit of talks about the training procedure and the contents of the story, I would also like to shoot some gravures, what do you think? Izumi Sounds fine! I’m looking forward to work with you! –Yeah. Yeah! Then, excuse me! *Shifts to Lesson Room* Izumi Masumi-kun, Chikage-san, can I talk to you for a moment? Masumi What is it? Chikage Anything going on? Izumi I received a call from Kasumi-san, this time, he wanted to do a special article about Spring Troupe 7th performance on the WEB version of “Spotlight”. He was requesting for an interview and gravure photoshoot. Masumi Understood. Chikage I don’t mind. Izumi Then, let’s go to Nadeshiko Publishing together next week! (Masumi-kun is looking at me properly when talking this time. I thought it would be a good idea to talk with him privately, but maybe I should just leave him alone after all.) *Short Time Skip* Chikage "Sigh, you’re an excellent disciple you know." "I think you would be able to surpass Mirage." Masumi "That can’t be. She is– Her very existence is art itself." Chikage "You’re so deep into your first love." Masumi "–You, you’re wrong! It’s just that, she’s the magician I admired since I was small and she’s what I aim to become–" Chikage "Right right. It’s too blinding for an old man like me, you’re going to crush my eyes." Izumi (Yeah, Masumi-kun and Chikage-san’s conversation feels good. The next one will be the final scene. Mirage shatters into pieces and the climax will reveal everything…) Itaru "Thank you. For loving Mirage." Masumi … Izumi (Masumi-kun…? It’s supposed to be a scene where Kiel cries after hearing Kigutsudou’s words…) Itaru "…Kiel-kun?" Masumi – …Sorry. Let’s do it one more time. Itaru "Thank you. For loving Mirage." Masumi – Izumi (Masumi-kun, as I thought he’s stuck.) –It’s about time, so let’s stop the practice here for today. Masumi … Itaru Otsukare. Sakuya Good work today! Izumi Masumi-kun, for the scene earlier– Masumi –Sorry, I have something to do for university. Izumi Ah… (Before practice started, he was looking at me normally. As I thought, maybe something’s going on…) Chikage … *Shifts to Lounge* Chikage … "Sigh, you’re an excellent disciple you know." "I think you would be able to surpass Mirage." Hisoka … Chikage …What is it. Hisoka …You’re practising properly. I’m impressed. Chikage What’s that even. Hisoka …You’re the co-lead right? How’s the situation right now? Chikage Well, I have gained experience from the last few performances, the practice is going well too. The role this time was written for me so it’s considerably easier, I think I can say that there’s no problem right now, but… Something seems to be wrong with Masumi. Hisoka Masumi? Chikage Outside of the performance and practice, he’s been pretty worrying with his moods going up and down, it’s starting to affect practice too. Hisoka …He’s the lead after all, isn’t it going to be fine if Chikage just consults with him. Chikage Nah, most probably, it’s related to Director-san. It’s hard for me to step in. Hisoka …Why? Chikage Such pure love that Masumi has for Director-san, I just can’t put my words into it. Hisoka ??? Chikage That’s why, for me, things like romance or love is– Hisoka Chikage, you have it too right, the feelings of love. When you’re protecting your family for example, I think even now, looking at you being worried about Masumi is a form of love. Chikage – Hisoka Chikage… You’ve changed. Chikage That’s pretty annoying to hear it from you. …But if I find the opportunity to talk to him, I’ll try. Hisoka …The consultation fee. The limited edition marshmallow from that famous chocolatier. Chikage Don’t get carried away. *Shifts to Publishing Office* Kasumi Alright, then we’re done over here! Izumi Thank you so much! Kasumi Ah, I’m looking forward to the issue this time…! Sakuya-kun seems to have a pretty interesting role! Izumi Fufu. We look forward to see you in the theatre. Kasumi Then, how’s the schedule for the supervision and publication– Izumi Ah, yeah– Masumi … Chikage Masumi, we should get out of here first. Masumi …Hinamori Kasumi. Kasumi ? Masumi I want to ask you something. Kasumi Eh? What, what? I’ll listen to anything you have. Masumi – Izumi ? (What is it I wonder, Masumi-kun seemed to be interested in something… Is it maybe something that I can’t listen to.) –Then, I’ll be taking my leave first. Chikage …Director-san, I’ll stay here for a bit. Izumi Please do so. (Even Chikage-san, I’m pretty sure he feels that something’s wrong with Masumi-kun these days. This change was unthinkable considering Chikage-san when he first joined the troupe. I’m glad I can depend on Chikage-san now.) Then, Kasumi-san, excuse me. Kasumi Yeah, good work today. Masumi … Kasumi Is it something that’s hard to say in front of Director. Masumi I want to listen to your view about love. Kasumi Eh! Chikage Oi, you shouldn’t just drop the bomb like that… Kasumi You want to have a love talk with this uncle over here!? Chikage – Kasumi If you want to have a love talk, this cramped office is not the place, let’s go to a café to talk! We can continue over there! Chikage How about your work? Kasumi It’s fine, it’s fine! Woah, I’m happy! It’s been a while since I've had a love talk with someone else!

Izumi Huh!? Is that a serious offer!? Kazumi "Yeah, the physical copy of the special issue seems to have been well-received, so we were talking about how we'd like to do a special issue on the online version of 'Spotlight,' too." Kasumi "I'd like to do an interview to combine with promoting the Spring Troupe 7th Performance. What do you think?" Izumi Yes! Of course! Kasumi "Whenever a new performance is happening in the future, I'd like to be able to publish an article online every time to support the theater." Izumi Oh gosh, thank you so much! Kasumi "The truth is that I'd like to ask to interview the entire Spring Troupe, but..." "Usually with these kinds of articles, we do an interview with the lead and second lead only." "While doing a light interview about how the rehearsals are going and what the performance is about, we'd like to also do a gravure photoshoot, but what do you think?" Izumi That's fine! We'll be in your care! ——Yes. Yes! Okay, then, thank you very much! Masumi-kun, Chikage-san, do you have a moment? Masumi What? Chikage Is something wrong? Izumi Kasumi-san contacted us, and I accepted his offer to do a special article on the Spring Troupe's performance in the online version of "Spotlight." He said that he would like to do an interview and a gravure photoshoot. Masumi Got it. Chikage I don't mind. Izumi Then, we'll be going to Nadeshiko Publishing together next week! (Masumi-kun properly looked me in the eye and talked to me today.) (I thought that it might be better if we had a talk together, but maybe me leaving him alone was better.) Chikage "Jeez, you really are an outstanding disciple. You've already surpassed Mirage." Masumi "That's not true. She's——Her existence itself is art." Chikage "The thing they call first love sure is covetous." Masumi "——N-No, you're wrong! It's just, I looked up to Mirage ever since I was a child, and she's the reason why I wanted to become a magician——" Chikage "Yeah, yeah. You're way too bright for this old geezer; I feel like I'm about to go blind." Izumi (Yep, Masumi-kun and Chikage-san's interactions are going well, too.) (All that's left is the last scene. Mirage shatters to pieces, and everything comes to light in the climax...) Itaru "Thank you for falling in love with Mirage." Masumi ... Izumi (Masumi-kun...? This is supposed to be where Kugutsudo says that to Kiel, and he collapses in tears, but...) Itaru "... Kiel-kun?" Masumi ——. ... Sorry, one more time. Itaru "Thank you for falling in love with Mirage." Masumi ——. Izumi (I knew it, Masumi-kun is having a hard time moving here.) ——It'll be time pretty soon, so why don't we stop today's rehearsal here? Masumi ... Itaru GW. Sakuya Good work, everyone! Izumi Masumi-kun, about that scene just now——. Masumi ——Sorry, I have homework from college. *door closes* Izumi Ah... (Before the rehearsal started, he was able to meet my eyes normally. I think there really is something wrong...) Chikage ... ... *pages flipping* "Jeez, you really are an outstanding disciple. You've already surpassed Mirage." Hisoka ... Chikage ... What. Hisoka ... You're making sure to rehearse. I'm moved. Chikage Who do you think you are. Hisoka ... I heard you were the second lead? How's it going? Chikage Well, we've gained quite a bit of experience for the performance, and we've gotten accustomed to everything, so rehearsals are going well. This role was written based on me, so it's easy to play, and for the current state of things, I suppose you could say that there are no problems... But Masumi's acting a bit weird. Hisoka Masumi? Chikage It seems like he's worried about something not related to performing. His mood has ups and downs, and it's affecting his performance. Hisoka ... You're the second lead, so you should try to talk to him and give him advice. Chikage No, it's probably related to Director-san, so. It'd be difficult for me to step in. Hisoka ... Why? Chikage There's no way I could barge in on Masumi's pure love for Director-san. Hisoka ??? Chikage I'm trying to say, there's no way I could talk to him about like or love——. Hisoka ... You have it too. Love. Trying to protect your family and worrying about Masumi like you are right now are types of love, in my opinion. Chikage ——. Hisoka Chikage... you've changed. Chikage Stop grinning. ... Anyway, I'll look for an opening to talk to him and give it a shot. Hisoka ... My consultation fee. It's limited-time marshmallows from a famous chocolatier. Chikage Don't get ahead of yourself. Kasumi Okay, then, that's a wrap! Izumi Thank you so much! Kasumi Ahh, I can't wait for the performance to start...! Sakuya-kun's role seems so interesting this time! Izumi Hehe. We'll be waiting for you at the theater. Kasumi So, about the editing and publishing schedule——. Izumi Ah, right——. Masumi ... Chikage Masumi, should we leave first? Masumi ... Kasumi Hinamori. Kasumi ? Masumi There's something I want to ask you. Kasumi Huh? What is it? Ask me anything. Masumi ——. Izumi ? (I wonder what it is. It seems like Masumi-kun's anxious about something in my direction... Maybe he doesn't want me to hear what he's about to ask?) ——Then, I'm going to head home first. Chikage ... Director-san, I'll stay behind for now. Izumi Thank you very much. (Chikage-san seems concerned about how Masumi's acting, too.) (It's a change that you couldn't have imagined happening when he first joined the theater troupe. I'll leave this to Chikage-san.) Okay then, Kasumi-san, please excuse me. Kasumi Yep, good work. Masumi ... Kasumi Was it something that was hard to ask in front of the Director? Masumi I want to hear about your romantic love. Kasumi Huh?! Chikage Hey, don't be so impudent... Kasumi You want to have a love talk with this old man?! Chikage ——. Kasumi If you want to talk about love, let's go do it at a fancy restaurant rather than in this stuffy place! I know a cafe that I think you'll like! Chikage Will your work be alright? Kasumi It's fine, it's fine! I'm so happy! It's been so long since I've talked about love with someone!
