Episode 35: Maturity at Twenty
Previous Main Story Next
Student AMan, he’s late even on the last day!
Student BI mean, shouldn’t they have already told Kabuto-san the start time?
Student AYou got that right.
Banri(I actually wanted to cut class and focus on the play, but a chance like this doesn't come often.)
*door opens*
KabutoAlright, let’s get the last day of the workshop started.
BanriHey. I found the answer to your question.
Kabuto
Banri"I want to act! Here, on this stage, for now and forever!"
Wha…!!
KabutoI would’ve scouted you on the first day if you showed me this side of you.
You've become an interestin' actor to me now.
Banri
KabutoYou’re feeling good and refreshed now, but who knows? You’re bound to find yourself blubbering time and time again in the future.
BanriWho’s blubbering?!
KabutoYour suffering isn’t going to end. You’re gonna keep struggling and hitting rock-bottom. Welcome to hell.
BanriBring it on. I’m hyped for a hard-to-clear challenge
KabutoHow old are ya, punk?
Banri…Twenty. What about it?
Kabuto"Every man experiences his greatest level of maturity during the period when he changes from young man to adult."
BanriWhat?
Kabuto…*sighs*. It's one of Ango Sakaguchi's quotes. Basically, he says that maturity at twenty is nothing but a lie.
Here. Read more books. Put yourself in other people's shoes.
BanriIs this your autographed autobiography or somethin’?
KabutoNo.

Banri"Wind, Light, and the Twenty-Year-Old-Me"…?
KabutoYou can say that book is Ango Sakaguchi's portrait.
BanriWhat…?
Hm…? What’s with the numbers on the cover…?
KabutoIf you want me to direct your performances, feel free to hit me up.
*Kabuto walks away* *door closes*
Banri…The heck? Who would call you, anyway?
(Guess I need to restrain myself during this line…)
SakuyaBanri-kun.
Banri?
SakuyaChecking the script?
BanriYea.
SakuyaOh. That's the scene you mentioned in the "Spotlight" interview, right?
I think you’ve improved your performance so much since the first time.
…I guess you've found your "answer."
BanriWell, yeah.
It’s weird ‘cause he’s constantly dragging me, but that guy actually acknowledged my answer.
SakuyaReally? What a relief! That means he finally saw your good points.
BanriWhile I caused trouble for you guys and my family, I ended up finding the truth I've been looking for.
The whole, "Why does it have to be theater, out of everything else out there?"
I'm truly thankful that I know the answer from the bottom of my heart.
I have a feeling it’ll be some sort of pillar as I continue to walk on this path.
SakuyaI actually wanted to help you at that time… Sorry I couldn't do anything.
BanriNah. You did enough by rehearsing and performing with me. It helped that I didn’t have to worry about other things.
SakuyaI see… I’m glad, then.
BanriTo be honest with you, I once thought that if my presence only brought trouble to the troupe and even ruined our performance, maybe I just didn’t belong here.
But y'all let me take the lead role and continued acting on the stage with me.
It made me feel like there's a place for me in the rehearsal room that no one else can fill.
SakuyaI really get your feelings.
But, regardless of whether it's the rehearsal room, or anywhere else—I'm sure there are more spaces in this theater troupe that only you could belong to.
Everyone is protecting those spaces made for you.
BanriI guess, yeah. I can't help but feel uneasy over all that fuss, though.
SakuyaBut they'd do the same thing if someone else happens to be in your shoes. You’d do it too, right, Banri-kun?
Banri…Well, yeah.
Now that I’ve renewed my determination towards acting, I feel like I’m finally at the start line.
Even Kabuto-san told me, "Welcome to hell." Looks like I'm going to begin my real journey soon.
SakuyaJourney, huh. I like that.
I don't know if it's because I'm playing Saku, but I want to go on a journey by myself.
I've only gone on school trips, after all.
BanriHeh, by yourself? In that case, why don't you go out before the latter half's opening show? You can consider it role-building as well.
SakuyaI'm gonna ask Azuma-san after this. He's a pro at traveling alone.
BanriWell, before that, we've gotta focus on the first half.
SakuyaYep! Let's create the best play ever with the remaining time we have!
BanriTotally. Gotta fire ourselves up.
Taichi…Oops. Sorry.
SakyoStop loitering around! It's freakin' cramped here!
AzamiHey. Y'all done with the base makeup?
JuzaI'm done.
AzamiToo thick! Do it again!
AzumaBecause of the number of the cast, all of us have to apply the base makeup by ourselves. Those who are not good with makeup are having a hard time.
TasukuWe used to do it ourselves before Izumida joined, though.
HomareI do believe that is my costume.
Hisoka…I took the wrong one.
OmiI feel like we've overestimated the dressing room's capacity...
IzumiWe've gotta be ready for the latter half at this point.
(Some of them are nervous because it's different from our usual plays. Meanwhile, our lead actor Banri-kun is…)
Banri
IzumiReplying to people's comments?
BanriYea. I've done my makeup. Got time to kill.
Izumi(Banri-kun is calm. I’m relieved to see he’s so relaxed.)
(More people followed us since the solo livestream. Our popularity is growing, not only for Banri-kun, but for the rest of the troupe as well.)
(Our sales for the first half went well thanks to the people who watched Banri Settsu's performance. Banri-kun being the lead helped too..)
(The livestream tickets sold especially well… That's why we have to make this play a success so that even more people are interested in the latter half!)
JuzaIt's freakin' cramped here too.
TaichiI think this is my first time being unable to move around back here!
TasukuLooking at the number of the performers, I guess we're going to have a hard time getting on and off stage…
TsumugiWe'll have even more performers in the latter half…
Hisoka…It's gonna overflow.
IzumiIt's almost time.
SakuyaThen, captain, a word please!
BanriDo I really have to do it bunched up like this?
IzumiSince we're all here, should we call the Spring Troupe members as well?
SakyoThink about the available space.
AzumaNow, now. I think it's a good idea. It's not everyday we get this opportunity.
BanriShall we form a circle, then?
I feel like I caused y'all a lot of trouble as the lead actor. And I still have a lot to learn as the assistant director.
But I'm definitely going to make it up to you on the stage.
Y'ALL! LET'S GO BEAT 'EM UP!
JuzaHell yeah!
SakuyaLet's go!
OmiYeah!
TaichiLet's go!
SakyoSure.
Hisoka…Okay.
TsumugiWe're getting caught in Autumn Troupe's pace, huh.
AzumaIt's such a fresh feeling.
HomareExperiencing things like this once in a while is not bad!
Izumi(Because we have more people than usual, their voices are also louder…)
Audience Member AKyaa!
Audience Member BI heard Banri-kun's voice!
ManagerDon't be so loud, please! It's almost time for the show!
BanriWhoops, heh. My bad.
