| Banri | The rabbit has been returned to the shrine safely, mission complete. |
| Chikage | Returning him is one thing, but if he keeps running away even the shrine will be fed up with it. |
| Banri | But, for Misumi’s sake aside, it was honestly surprising for Chikage-san who is not good with animals to go that far. |
| Chikage | ... That rabbit was separated from his siblings suddenly and it seems that he’s still looking for them to this day. |
| The priest knew about the situation and he said that he would cooperate and search for his siblings too, but it seems that he’s been too busy for it. |
| Banri | Hmm... I see. |
| Chikage | Because of that, I guess I feel a bit of sympathy for him. |
| Banri | ... Chikage-san, did something similar happen to you before. |
| Chikage | About that, I’ll leave it to your imagination. |
| Banri too, you were talking about not going home this year... |
| Next year’s new year, it’s not certain that you will be able to spend it with your family like before. |
| Banri | ... What is it, so suddenly. |
| Chikage | It’s just a possible scenario. |
| Of course, it can also be said for other events in general, like birthday and Christmas, but— |
| Here, you’re not doing anything in particular, like watching the new year show, eating new year soba. |
| I don’t mind spending my time like that, the Japanese new year feels like a family event more than any other events, |
| ... Well, I only know that after joining the theatre troupe, I can’t say that I’m very knowledgeable about it. |
| Banri | ... |
| Chikage | Like that rabbit, there’s a possibility that you will get separated from your family without any warning. |
| That’s why, Banri too, I thought it would be better for you to at least show your face at home. |
| Banri | ... |
| Chikage | Did I meddle a bit too much. |
| Banri | Nah... It’s fine. |
| |
| Juza | It’s finally the day. |
| Izumi | Everyone, are you ready? |
| Hisoka | Yeah. |
| Azuma | We were worried about the snow, but it seems that it won’t fall tonight. |
| Tsuzuru | We did some promotion for the event, the number of audience members here seems to be good too. |
| Hisoka | It’s pretty crowded. |
| Chikage | First up will be the Kakushigei tournament right. |
| Tenma | Yeah. |
| I’ll show you the result of my training. |
| Izumi | Yeah! I’m looking forward to seeing the Kakushigei tournament too. |
| Banri | Director-chan, I’m going to surprise you with some amazing tricks. |
| Of course, the winner will be the red team. |
| Juza | I won’t lose to you. |
| The white team will win. |
| Banri | Stop with the bullshit. |
| There’s no way I’ll lose to the likes of you. |
| Juza | Huh? What was that. |
| Banri | You want to go. |
| Tsuzuru | Calm down, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses, it’s a Kakushigei performance! |
| *Shifts to Stage* |
| Priest | Then, please enjoy the Kakushigei performance by members of MANKAI company! |
| Homare’s Doll | “La la la, a happy bunny, a refreshing harmony! Behold, let’s have our tea time!” |
| Hisoka | It’s just a cheap marshmallow... |
| Arisu is stingy. |
| Homare’s Doll | “Hmm hmm, what did you say! Such a selfish guy!” |
| Children | Amazing! The doll is talking! |
| Male Audience | Ventriloquism huh! |
| The voice is totally different, it really sounds like he’s talking to a doll...! |
| Juza | ...! |
| Tenma | Phew! ... There! |
| Female Audience A | Cigar box! So cool...! |
| Female Audience B | Damn, the boxes look like that they’re attached to each other with a magnet! |
| Banri | ... |
| Male Audience | Is he going to pull that tablecloth? |
| Female Audience | Even though there’s a glass tower on top!? |
| Banri | ...! |
| Female Audience | Amazing!! He pulled it so beautifully! |
| Male Audience | That was wonderful! |
| Chikage | Take a look at this card in my hand. |
| The folded card is... 1,2,3! |
| Female Audience A | Eh!? It turned into a fan in an instant!? |
| Male Audience | What!? It was just a normal card a second ago. |
| Chikage | And when you look up on this fan... |
| Female Audience B | Woah! The colorful confetti popped out of nowhere...! |
| Children | It’s so beautiful~! Just like real magic! |
| Izumi | (Both teams are amazing with their Kakushigei! The audiences’ cheers are so loud too) |
| Citron | Unyuyuyu... |
| I have no other choice! |
| I must go quickly! |
| Muku | Eh! |
| Sakuya | Citron-san, it’s not your turn yet! |
| |
| Izumi | That was fun! |
| I was very impressed by everyone. |
| Azuma | Yeah, me too. I got completely absorbed in it. |
| Tsuzuru | Everyone practiced so hard before we even realized. |
| Female Audience A | Red team or white team... Both are great, I can’t choose. |
| Female Audience B | I know, everyone was so interesting! |
| Male Audience | Alright, I’ve decided. I’m going with this! |
| Children | I’m going to choose this one! |
| Tenma | Everyone’s voting now. |
| Azuma | Fufu, I wonder who will win... I’m quite excited. |
| Izumi | I’m glad that the audience is satisfied. |
| Next will be the dance performance... |
| |
| ...Eh? |
| Hisoka | ... It’s snowing. |
| Juza | The snow started falling. |
| Tenma | Actually, isn’t it getting heavier? |
| Banri | If it continues, it’s going to be heavy snow soon. |
| Chikage | What a splendid flag[1] retrieval. |
| Tsuzuru | This is not the time to say such a thing. |
| Male Audience | The snow is getting heavier. |
| I guess it’s time to go home soon. |
| Female Audience | I wanted to watch the dance, is it going to be cancelled? |
| Hisoka | Everyone’s going home. |
| Juza | If it stays this way, it’s going to be cancelled for real. |
| Izumi | (Even though everyone practiced so hard for this, I don’t want it to be cancelled. Beside, I want to be able to meet the priest’s expectation...) |
| It’s a bit early, but... |
| Let’s start earlier so everyone can see the dance! |
| Azuma | You’re right. |
| Chikage | Understood. |
| Banri | Alright, let’s go. |
