| ??? | U-Umm…ummm… |
| Muku | Do you have business with us? |
| ??? | Err…uhh… |
| Masumi | Only staff is permitted here. |
| ??? | Eh?! |
| Tsumugi | Err, are you alright…? |
| Izumi | Oh, Are you perhaps… Serizawa-kun? I'm Tachibana, the president and general director of MANKAI Company. |
| Akashi | Ye…s. |
| Izumi | (He's not looking this way at all… It reminds me of what Yuzo-san said.) |
| |
| Yuzo | Akashi's grandfather used to be in charge of the lighting for MANKAI Company. While he's retired now, he drilled all his skills into his grandson. |
| He's got the skills despite his young age. He's now working as a freelance light op. |
| But there's a little bit of a problem… |
| Izumi | What problem? |
| Yuzo | Even though his skills are the real deal, he's really bad with people. |
| Depending on the place, there are times when he really can't fit in with the others. He should be alright with you, though, I think… |
| |
| Akashi | E-Err… |
| Izumi | (Oh, well. He might be nervous since this is our first meeting. And I don't have any problem with that as long as he's got the skills.) |
| Let’s go on a tour around the theater building, okay? |
| Akashi | Okay… |
| Izumi | I guess that's all for our equipment and lighting desk… Do you have any questions? |
| Akashi | N-No… |
| Izumi | Okay. Hey, the other day I saw a play that you did the lighting for. |
| What you did during the climax and ending was so pretty. I was impressed. |
| Akashi | Ah…! |
| Izumi | ? |
| Akashi | A good person…! |
| U-Uhh… I read the script… for your play… It was really… great… |
| Izumi | Really? Thank you! |
| Akashi | I heard… from Yuzo-san… By some chance… my grandpa… might work… with you… before… that's why… |
| I want to… illuminate the actors… with the colors… you want. |
| Izumi | Thanks! I look forward to working with you, then! |
| (It may take a while until he gets used to us, but he seems reliable enough!) |
| Rento | Oooh! So this is the place! |
| Izumi | Oh. Rento-san! |
| Rento | Where's Isuke-san…? |
| Izumi | Manager? He should be in the dorm today… |
| Rento | Dang, he ain't here… |
| Izumi | Pleased to be working with you. |
| Rento | Yeah, same here. |
| Izumi | Oh, right. The lighting staff is also here too… Hmm? |
| Akashi-kun? That’s weird. He was here just now… |
| Rento | Do you mean that guy trembling like crazy in the corner over there? |
| Akashi | Eeeeek…. |
| Izumi | A-Are you alright? |
| Akashi | So loud… scary… |
| Izumi | Err, this is our lighting staff, Akashi-kun. |
| Rento | Oh, if it isn't Akashi Serizawa! I'm Rento Kinozaki. |
| I saw a play you did the lighting for! You really got the sense, man! |
| Akashi | A-A good person…? |
| Izumi | (He's raised his face, but he's still curling up like a ball…) |
| Banri | Director-chan. Do you have a moment? |
| Izumi | Ah, let me introduce you to Banri-kun as well. |
| Banri-kun, this is Rento-kun. He'll be in charge of… oh wait you know him already.. This one is our new lighting staff, Akashi-kun. |
| Rento-kun, Akashi-kun, this is Banri Settsu. He's the lead actor as well as the assistant director for this play. |
| Akashi | U-Umm… portrait… |
| Rento | It's super viral. |
| Izumi | So you watched it too? |
| Rento | Flashy sounds will suit you. |
| Akashi | I want to… illuminate you… with intense light. |
| Banri | Sweet. |
| Izumi | Because we don't have much time until the opening show, I'd like to finish the production quickly. With that said, I'll be counting on you guys. |
| Rento | Okay. |
| Akashi | Ye…s. |
| |
| Taichi | "Eat this! I'm not the Rat you know today!!" |
| Omi | "If you don’t want to die, hurry up and surrender! Your ship’s swiss cheese either way!" |
| Izumi | (Now that Rento-kun and Akashi-kun are here, this scene gives off a completely different impression.) |
| (I never knew it'd be this different just by improving our lighting and sound…) |
| (The two can’t be any more different in social skills, but we’re getting a better feel for each other, so planning is getting easier.) |
| (And now after talking with Banri-kun, the production quality got even better.I'm really grateful for his help.) |
| (There’s no doubt that we’ll be able to deliver a performance leaps and bounds better than our previous shows!) |
