Citron“Kyushu mirin day[1]~!”
KumonI think you’ll look cooler if you move your arms like this!
Citron“Gi~mme~gimme milk nyau~~!”
KumonThat one was cool!
SakyoShut up! What’s all this noise.
CitronOh~. I’m building on my role.
KumonWe were practicing onmyoji poses! Kyukyunyoritsuryou!
SakyoHow is it practice when you get the line wrong every time? At least do it in the practice room.
CitronDon’t be circle!
SakyoYou mean a square.
KumonOh, that’s right! I wanna see Sakyo-san’s pose too!
CitronShow us an example to help me get into role!
Sakyo...All right, fine.
Kyukyunyoritsuryou!
Itaru....
IzumiUh, umm, Sakyo-san...?
ItaruSo Sakyo-san has finally awakened his inner chuuni as well.
SakyoNo! I was just showing them an example—.
KumonI brought the manga I was talking about from home!
CitronThank you!
SakyoOi!
IzumiW-well. You’re currently studying how to perform on film, after all! You’re testing the waters, right?
ItaruNice work. I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.
SakyoDon’t cover for me!
CitronBy the way, the onmyoji movie I borrowed from Sakyo was entertaining.
SakyoI found a book that looked pretty helpful, too. If you need it, I’ll lend it to you.
CitronThat would be great~!
GuyFuruichi.
These were helpful. Thank you.
SakyoGreat. Just leave them there.
IzumiThat’s a lot of books.
SakyoI got a look at everything that seemed necessary for role-building.
GuyDifferent sources present Abeno Seimei in different ways.
SakyoYeah. Even when it comes to his talent as a onmyoji, there’s a lot of fiction; most of the time, there’s no factual source.
KumonThis manga has onmyoji, so you should take a look, Sakyo-san! Seimei is really cool!
CitronI’ll give it to you after I’m done.
ItaruIf you’re looking for something recent, Abeno Seimei appeared in an app that I play, too.
SakyoA game.... Fine, guess I’ll download it.
IzumiEh!? Sakyo-san, you’re going to play a game!?
SakyoI want to take every opportunity to learn more about Abeno Seimei, even if it’s a small help.
Izumi(Sakyo-san never plays games, and yet... He’s giving role-building his all.)
(He’s reliable, but he’s also participating in that film workshop. I hope he doesn’t push himself too hard....)
Sakyo“...Geppaku was supposed to have joined the onmyoji bureau, just like me.”
“Our master had high hopes for Geppaku’s talent. But he didn’t make it because of his birth.”
...I should keep my tone down here.
IzumiSakyo-san, Omi-kun made some soup. Why don’t you take a break?
SakyoYeah, thanks.
IzumiApparently it’s a special soup to treat your skin.
SakyoTch, so this is bon’s idea.
IzumiLooks like you’re putting even more effort into role-building than usual.
Sakyo...That might actually be a sign of my anxiety.
I’m not satisfied with my acting. Maybe that’s why I want to take in as much information as possible, in order to make up for what I’m missing.
IzumiWhy are you dissatisfied?
Sakyo....
I have more knowledge of onmyoji and the Heian period, but I’m still unsure about the most important part: do I really want to go with this performance of Seimei?
Most movies, games, and novels present Seimei as a mysterious hero who fights off evil spirits.
IzumiThat’s pretty close to your take on Seimei, Sakyo-san.
(A dignified and serious Seimei, who acts like a master towards his shikigami Kou. He’s a truly hero-like hero.)
(Because Yuzo-san introduced him to a film workshop, his acting has become more refined; you can even see it in the details of his facial expressions.)
(I personally think he’s doing great, but....)
SakyoI still can’t show what Minagi wanted to convey—invisible but certain connections and bonds.
I guess Yukishiro has a natural understanding of that, because I can sometimes sense Kou’s compassion towards Seimei.
But I can’t return that to him as Seimei. I don’t yet have a grasp of what Yukishiro understands.
Izumi(Something invisible... The vagueness might be making it difficult.)
If you can sense compassion from Azuma-san’s Kou, you might discover what you’re looking for through repeated practice.
SakyoYeah....
IzumiLet’s do our best!
(Sakyo-san is incredibly motivated. I’m sure he’ll figure it out so long as there’s an opportunity.)
(I hope he’ll find it before the film shoot....)

Notes

  1. 急急如律令 (“kyuu-kyuu-nyo-ritsu-ryou”) is the classic onmyoji spell chant, which Citron characteristically chooses to mispronounce in every way possible
