| *phone rings* |
| Manager | Y-Yes! You can go to our website for that matter--! |
| Izumi | We will announce it in a few days--! |
| Sakyo | Please kindly wait until we release the announcement. |
| Sakuya | For some reason, this has turned into such a big deal. |
| Yuki | We've been receiving endless calls. |
| Masumi | I'm also gonna call her... |
| Tsuzuru | You're just gonna bother her now! |
| Kazunari | I guess this kind of thing is to be expected, since just Hiro Hyuga and Syu Otomiya alone already garner a lot of attention. Even Reni-san and Yuzo-san are gonna join as performers. |
| Both of them have only been active as directors these days, so it looks like their long-time fans are excited to see them performing on stage again. |
| Izumi | Phew… |
| (I've never thought this would create this much sensation. Since MANKAI Company has been appointed as the contact person, we've got no choice but to deal with it.) |
| Muku | I think the fact that this play will be Tenma-kun's first acting gig since his injury also contributed to this reaction. |
| Sakuya | His fans are worried. |
| Izumi | (Right, Igawa-san contacted me before saying that Sumeragi Office is basically flooded with people making inquiries right now.) |
| (I feel sorry for causing them trouble…) |
| Itaru | Fans of Hakkaku Ikaruga and MANKAI Company are also excited about it. |
| Chikage | And his death eight years ago has finally been made public. |
| Sakyo | But given that the Showdown Act will only be held once at MANKAI Theater which has a small seating capacity, we've also been receiving criticism. |
| Izumi | Right. Since these will be such gorgeous plays, it's such a waste that we can't do it at a bigger place… |
| Manager | Not to mention there are lots of people who want to watch this play at all costs~. |
| Izumi | Hiro-san wants to perform the piece at MANKAI Theater, though… |
| Yuzo | Hey. |
| Izumi | Ah, Yuzo-san! |
| *phone buzzes* |
| Manager | Hello, MANKAI Company's here! |
| Yuzo | Haha, it sure created quite a great stir, huh. |
| Sakyo | This is no laughing matter. |
| Yuzo | Not only here, but a lot of people are also making inquiries to my troupe, Syu-san's, and GOD-za. On top of it all, people are also calling Zen-san's restaurant. |
| Sakyo | What should we do? |
| Yuzo | I suppose we can't just ignore it given how big this thing has turned out to be. |
| I've talked about it with Hiro, but he still insisted on doing it at MANKAI Theater. |
| Izumi | Hmm, I understand how Hiro-san feels, but it's still kind of tough. |
| Manager | How about selling the footage to the public? |
| Yuzo | With all the members participating, I don't think selling the footage will be an easy task since we need to deal with rights and stuff. |
| Manager | I see… |
| *door slams open* |
| Mizuno | Please leave such matters to me! |
| Izumi | Mizuno-san!? |
| Mizuno | I apologize for barging in so suddenly. |
| This upcoming Showdown Act has made a great deal of noise, greater than ever before--. |
| I've come here to ask whether there's anything that we, MIZUNO Enterprise, can do to help… |
| Sakyo | In terms of scale, I do think it's a matter of that. |
| Izumi | But I don't think we can just change the theater building… |
| Mizuno | It's worth holding a head-on, once in a lifetime big match between… the great first generation and the new generation at MANKAI Theater. |
| However, I want many people who may not be able to enter the theater to watch the plays too. In that case, the one and only solution that can be derived is… |
| Manager | Is…? |
| Mizuno | Live-viewing! |
| Yuzo | Live-viewing? The heck is that? |
| Sakyo | It's like a live broadcast. Basically, the plays will be streamed real-time at cinemas across the nation or something like that. |
| Yuzo | Heh, that sounds convenient. |
| Mizuno | In recent years, our company has been putting our effort into broadcasting projects. Not only at cinemas across Japan, it's also possible to stream it online! |
| Yuzo | In other words, people all around the world can watch it. |
| Izumi | (In that case, Dad may be able to watch it!) |
| Manager | Wow, that's awesome~!! |
| Mizuno | This is a chance to make people around the nation and the world attracted to Tsuzuru-kun's stories… No, I mean, MANKAI Company's plays! |
| Sakyo | ...If we're gonna do it at MANKAI Company, that's certainly the only solution. Besides, large-scale publicity like this can help raise our profile. It ain't a bad idea. |
| Yuzo | Yea, that sounds nice. |
| Izumi | We'll be counting on you! |
| Mizuno | Then, I shall summarize the terms with my team right away! |
| *door opens* |
| Tsuzuru | Huh? You're here, Mizuno? |
| Mizuno | !! |
| We-Well then, let's talk about this again in the future! I must be going! |
| *door slams shut* |
| Manager | He left like a crab. |
| Izumi | And here I thought he's able to talk to him a little bit better now… |
| Tsuzuru | When I invited him to my bro's birthday party, he came as Mizuno Man. |
| Sakyo | So he turns like that when he shows his true self... |
| Tsuzuru | That aside, what did you talk about? |
| Manager | Listen, Minagi-kun! |
| Guess what!? For this play, it's been decided that we'll be broadcasting it across the nation and the world via live-viewing! |
| Tsuzuru | The, the world…? |
| Manager | Huh? Minagi-kun!? You look as hard as a stone, you know!? |
| Izumi | (I-I wonder if we're going to be fine… We may have accidentally put unnecessary pressure on him.) |
