Sakuya | I'm looking forwards to our next play. |
Citron | It's really exiting, isn't it~! |
Itaru | Isn't it about time for the script to be done? |
Masumi | He's melding with the PC again. |
Itaru | The last spurt, huh. |
Sakuya | I wonder whether Tsuzuru-kun is alright. He hasn't collapsed agai...... |
Tsuzuru | ...... |
Sakuya | Huh? Tsuzuru-kun? |
Izumi | Could that be the script? |
Tsuzuru | For now, it's mostly done. |
Citron | You're spanky, unlike usual! |
Itaru | You mean, sprightly. |
Izumi | What do you mean by 'mostly'? |
Tsuzuru | I'm slightly stuck on the ending, but the bulk of it is done, so you can have a read. |
Izumi | Okay, got it. |
| (Somehow, he's oddly ambivalent.) |
| ...... |
| (The contents are largely as per the outline.) |
| (The process by which the alchemist Luke and the homunculus S open their hearts to one another is extremely heartwarming.) |
| (The battle against the government which is trying to eliminate S as a forbidden existence. In the midst of this, the two of them cultivate a friendship that goes beyond that of family......) |
| (Yeah, I think it's really good.) |
| ――. |
| (He changed the ending a bit from the outline.) |
| (A sad ending where S dies in battle and Luke closes off his heart......) |
Sakuya | This time it's a tragedy, huh. |
Citron | It's tragic. |
Tsuzuru | I thought it'd be good to have this kind of bitter feel from time to time. |
Izumi | (Hmm......It's a story that tugs at your heartstrings, but I feel like this ending is a little different to the Spring Troupe's image.) |
Masumi | It's not refreshing. |
Itaru | If I had to say, it's maybe more in line with the Autumn Troupe or the Winter Troupe. |
Tsuzuru | I wanted to end things on a different note to usual, but I don't think it fits myself. |
| I thought of a completely happy end as well, but that was odd too. |
| It feels kind of wrong to give their unique friendship a convenient end...... |
Izumi | Hmm, that's true......To have a friendship that goes beyond that of family, there has to be a wall there. |
| Having them clear it easily feels like a waste. |
Itaru | Well, it's our third play, so I do think it's good to have a different atmosphere. |
Sakuya | I also think it'd be nice to have a bit of a poignant air. |
Tsuzuru | I'll think on it a little more. |
Izumi | Okay. |
Masumi | The cast? |
Tsuzuru | From the outline, I'd been thinking of Citron for the role of the homunculus. |
Citron | My gong-faceted second lead role! |
Tsuzuru | Long-awaited. |
Sakuya | I think he's perfect! |
Itaru | Should be good. |
Masumi | What about the lead? |
Izumi | Hmm, what should we do. |
Sakuya | What if you do it, Tsuzuru-kun? |
Tsuzuru | Me? |
Itaru | Now that you mention it, Tsuzuru hasn't been the lead or second lead before. |
Tsuzuru | Yes, it might be good in the sense that you'll build up experience. |
| But the script isn't great this time, so I wonder about that. |
Sakuya | You can come to empathise with your character while practising, so the ending might come to you through that. |
Itaru | I see. |
Masumi | Then, let's do that. |
Tsuzuru | ......Understood. |
Izumi | Alright, then the lead and second lead this time will be Tsuzuru-kun and Citron-kun! |
Citron | I'll show you the success from my MANZAI practice with Tsuzuru! |
Tsuzuru | We don't do that! |
Manager | Eek......My gosh, good golly. |
Izumi | Huh? What's wrong, Manager? |
Manager | Ah, everyone! It's terrible! A suspicious man has been lurking around the dorms. |
Sakuya | A suspicious man......? |
Manager | He ran away when I called out to him, but......Please be on your best guard! |
