Misumi | "Eeek!" |
Masumi | "--Brother!" |
Misumi | "How can I… face Fujiwara-sama if the reason why I fall is…due to running out of stamina like this, instead of getting stabbed by the enemy's blade--." |
Masumi | "This isn't the time to be saying such a thing! I've already told you not to ride the horse!" |
Misumi | "Tadanobu! I shall leave the Sato clan to you!" |
Masumi | "Don't go deciding things on your own!" |
Izumi | (Masumi-kun is being more serious than usual. His motive is a little bit impure, though…) |
| (Given that Misumi-kun wants to show his family his performance through this play, he's more concentrated than before.) |
| (Looking at their own role-building and performance, there's no problem. However…) |
| |
| I think that's all I've got to say today. Is there anyone who'd like to give their opinion-- |
Tenma | I'm kinda worried about the bond between the Sato brothers. They don't look like brothers at all. |
Izumi | (Just as I thought, this got Tenma-kun concerned too.) |
| I think so too… Rather than brothers, the closeness that you two are showing is that of friends. |
Misumi | So we need to get along more? |
Masumi | Closeness… will this much do? |
Misumi | We're sticking to each other~! |
Tenma | She doesn't mean it physically, duh! |
Kumon | Come to think of it, I've never really seen you two hanging out together. |
Chikage | Well, it's not like they share anything in common, and they even belong to different troupes. |
Izumi | I wonder if there's a way to bring out the intimacy between brothers… |
Masumi | I'll try coming up with a way on my own. |
Izumi | Huh? A-Alright? |
Masumi | Later. |
| *door closes* |
Misumi | Masumi's gone~. |
Tenma | Will he be alright? |
Tsuzuru | I suppose he wants to solve this on his own since his goal for this play is to charm Director's father. |
| I think he'll be fine, since he's unusually motivated this time around. |
| |
Masumi | … |
Tsuzuru | Have you found anything that can be a key? |
Masumi | I'm thinking about it right now. |
Tsuzuru | But well, it must be hard for an only child to imagine having a brother. |
| I also don't know what it's like to be an only child, after all. |
| But hey, didn't you take care of Prince Tangerine before? Maybe you can refer to that feeling? |
Masumi | But I'm playing the little brother. |
Tsuzuru | Oh, I see. Well, character-wise, it's only normal that you play the younger one. |
Masumi | I don't understand. |
Tsuzuru | This kind of feeling is difficult to explain. |
| For now, how about you use Juza and Kumon as reference to see what close brothers look like? |
Masumi | ...I'll give it a try. |
| |
| ...stares. |
Kumon | Morning, nii-chan! |
Juza | Morning. Your hair is sticking up, y'know. |
Kumon | I'm gonna sit next to nii-chan~! |
Juza | I'm digging in. |
Kumon | Let's dig~in! |
| |
Masumi | ...stares. |
Kumon | Let's play catch ball, nii-chan! |
Juza | A'ight. I can accompany you until practice time. |
Kumon | Yeaay! |
| |
Masumi | ...stares. |
Kumon | Let's take a bath together, nii-chan! |
Juza | Okay. |
Kumon | Ah, do you want to join us, Masumi-san? |
Masumi | I'm just gonna watch you guys. |
Juza | Is that so? |
| |
Masumi | ...stares. |
Juza | I feel uncomfortable being watched like this… |
Kumon | You should have joined us. But hey, why are you looking at us so much? |
Masumi | I wanna ask about the relationship between brothers. |
Kumon | Oh, I see! So it's for your role-building! |
Juza | Are you playing brothers now? |
Kumon | Sumi-san is the big brother! |
Masumi | I've been watching you two all day long, thinking it can serve as reference. |
Kumon | Hmm, the relationship between brothers, huh~. |
| Even if we're brothers, we're still two different persons. There are also things that we don't get about each other unless we talk it out. |
Juza | That's right. There's also times when we want to understand each other, but it ends up in misunderstanding. |
Kumon | Yep, yep! It's important to properly discuss what we really think. |
| But things like this may not only apply to brothers! |
Masumi | ...I'll keep that in mind. |
| |
Misumi | "I can't believe we were made to follow Kurou-dono." |
Masumi | "He seems competent, though." |
Misumi | "But he looks like a completely different person sometimes. Our Lord seems to be overrating him…" |
Masumi | "Well, I think we should return to Oshu once we meet up with the Lord of Kamakura[1]." |
Izumi | (T-This is…) |
Tenma | You're too close! |
Tsuzuru | Tadanobu looks too much like a brocon. |
Izumi | Hang on, I don't think this kind of brotherhood suits the Sengoku Period? |
Masumi | … |
| |
Izumi | Let's end our rehearsal for today. Good work, guys. |
Misumi | Nice work~! |
Masumi | Talk properly… |
Misumi | Hm? What's wrong, Masumi? |
Masumi | Come with me for a bit. |
| |
Misumi | What's the matter~? |
Masumi | What do you think we should do to look like brothers for this play? |
Misumi | Hmm~. |
Masumi | You have a lil bro, don't you? Do you have any memories with him? |
Misumi | ...Madoka used to hate me in the past, so I don't have that kind of memory. |
| I had always wanted to play with Madoka, though… |
Masumi | Let's say that you two did play together, what did you want to do with him? |
| I can't really imagine such a thing since I don't have brothers, but it's different for you, right? |
Misumi | ...Paper airplanes. |
| Ever since we were children, I had always wanted to make paper airplanes with Madoka and fly them around! |
| I wanted to compete to see whose plane would fly the farthest! |
Masumi | … |
Misumi | Masumi? |
| |
Masumi | I've brought it. |
Misumi | Oh! Origami! |
Masumi | Even though I'm not your real brother, I'm playing your little brother this time. |
Misumi | Thanks, Masumi! Let's make paper airplanes together! |
Masumi | Just so you know, this is all for our role-building--. |
Misumi | Turn this one into a triangle, turn that one into a triangle~. My jet plane is fast, you know~. It's amazing~. |
Masumi | Jet plane? |
Misumi | Yep! Because this is a jet plane, it will fly re~ally far! You should make one too, Masumi! |
Masumi | ...I'm gonna make a jet plane that Director and I will ride for our honeymoon. |
Misumi | I'll give her a ride too~. |
Masumi | She won't ride yours. |
Misumi | In that case, let's let her ride the jet that flies farther! |
Masumi | I absolutely won't lose to you… |
|
Misumi | Here we go~! Three, two, one! |
Masumi | Fly! |
Misumi | Whoa~! |
Masumi | !! |
| My love flight with Director… |
Misumi | It crashed~. |
Masumi | … |
Misumi | I think you should fold the paper this way if you want it to fly far! |
Masumi | ...Got it. |
Misumi | Let's fly it one more time! Three, two, one! |
Masumi | …! |
Misumi | It's flying~! |
Masumi | I'm gonna make it fly farther next. |
Misumi | Yup! |
| ...Say, Masumi, do you have fun playing with paper airplanes? |
Masumi | ...Well, yeah. |
Misumi | Great to hear that! |
| I wonder if Madoka will also have fun if I ask him to play with paper airplanes together. |
| We're not children anymore, though… |
Masumi | It doesn't matter, does it? |
| One thing I can say for sure is that he won't know that you want to play with paper airplanes together if you don't tell him directly. |
Misumi | ...Yup, you're right! I'll try inviting him one day! |
| |
| "Eeek!" |
Masumi | "--Brother!" |
Misumi | "How can I… face Fujiwara-sama if the reason why I fall is…due to running out of stamina like this, instead of getting stabbed by the enemy's blade--." |
Masumi | "This isn't the time to be saying such a thing! I've already told you not to ride the horse!" |
Misumi | "Tadanobu! I shall leave the Sato clan to you!" |
Masumi | "Don't go deciding things on your own!" |
Izumi | You did well this time! Your tempo looks like that of brothers, and I can feel how you care for each other! |
Tenma | You've changed at once. |
Kumon | You guys are awesome~! |
Tsuzuru | Did you discuss what you need to do for the role-building? |
Masumi | ...Not really. |
Misumi | Ehehe. We flew paper airplanes together! |
Izumi | Paper airplanes…? |
