Alright, since there’s a place that we can focus at, let’s try to do some practice.
Taichi
Eh, we’re not going to explore this uninhabited island!?
Tasuku
We’re not here to play around.
Tsuzuru
Excuse me… If possible, I would like to practice as much as possible before the shooting date.
Homare
You’re right. It’s not too late to explore this uninhabited island after practices.
Taichi
Ehehe, true that!
Let’s do our best for practice first!
Izumi
Then, everyone, please draw your role card.
Tsuzuru
(Uh… I got the EBE role again…
Anyway, let’s see what I can do...)
<Short Time Skip>
Chikage
“...I understand everything from that testimony. The EBE is you.”
Tsuzuru
“Ugh…”
Taichi
“Take this flame from my weapon! Ha!”
Tsuzuru
“Uh, arrghhhh!”
<Short Time Skip>
(Sigh… I got found out immediately again…
At this rate, the promotional video might end up to be shot without me…
Not only that, the story won’t be interesting because of me, they might need to retake and I’ll just be a burden for everyone else)
Izumi
Tsuzuru-kun, are you alright?
Tsuzuru
Eh?
Izumi
Recently, you’ve been looking depressed in the middle of training, even now, you’re looking like you’re not satisfied with the performance at all, I’m slightly worried.
Tsuzuru
Ah… Well, I’m having a bit of a hard time.
In terms of the content of the story, no matter how much I try tricking the other, it still ends up pretty similar...
I will get flustered when I’m suddenly approached by someone, I can’t make a comeback fast enough and my role could be figured out easily because of that.
If there’s an unexpected movement, I cannot immediately make a reaction without thinking...
Izumi
I see… If that’s the case, maybe it’s a good idea for you to observe how everyone else is doing.
It might be a good idea to listen to how everyone is delivering their act.
Even if you’re an enemy during the play, you’re still companions within the company, I’m sure everyone will be more than willing to give Tsuzuru-kun some pointers.
Tsuzuru
… You’re right.
Somehow, I feel like I’ve become suspicious of other people, and unknowingly, I started to feel that I have to solve everything by myself.
Director, thank you so much.
Izumi
It’s nothing. Good luck.
That’s all for practice today. Everyone, good work.
Tasuku
Good work.
Tsuzuru
...
Taichi
Today’s practice feels like a real game as well, it’s so fun!
Azami
Taichi-san’s good at tricking others. I got lost in the middle of it.
Taichi
A-chan too, I didn’t think that you were the other EBE at all. I thought you’re the ‘On-site Disposal Unit’ until the end!
Tsuzuru
(Speaking of which, these two are very good at getting around…
More like, they look very used to it)
Hey, have the two of you act in this kind of performance before?
Taichi
Eh? Hmm, I don’t think I’ve done it as a performance but...
Azami
We’ve played a similar game before.
Tsuzuru
Game?
Taichi
The game that I played with Ban-chan before is like an ‘interpersonal deception’ game!
It’s more fun to play with a lot of people, A-chan was there as well!
Azami
There was a time when I was hooked and that was basically the only thing I was playing back then.
Taichi
The content of this performance is pretty close to that game, I did this performance by remembering the discussion I did during the game.
Tsuzuru
So you refer to the game huh...
Taichi
Do you want to play the game together when we’re back in the dorm, Tsuzuru-kun?
