Izumi | (Alice wanders in the forest and happens upon the tea party......The scene with Alice and the Hatter.) |
Hatter | If you drink my tea, you'll wake up? I've never heard of such a tale. Right, you guys? |
| Hmph, that's right, that's right. I think so too. |
Alice | Oi. |
Hatter | What do you think we should do with this young lad? ......Hmph, I see. |
Alice | Oi, listen to me. |
Izumi | (The atmosphere of their interaction in this scene has changed somehow.) |
| (It's not just that they've added adlibs; they're really fitting perfectly into character......) |
Alice | "There's nobody except us here, but you've been talking to someone for a while now." |
Hatter | "Nobody here? Was that the case? I should have invited the March Hare and the others too." |
Alice | "If you look, you'll know. The only ones here are me and you." |
Hatter | "Hmph, if you look, you'll know, is it. But reality isn't only made of what you can see with your eyes. Isn't that right?" |
| "In this society, there are those who pour fortunes into things you can't see with your eyes. For instance, items in a game." |
Izumi | (Isn't he talking about himself.....!?) |
Alice | "What about it." |
Hatter | "In other words, it's not odd for me to be conversing with an invisible March Hare." |
Alice | "My head hurts." |
Izumi | (As Tsuzuru-kun said before, it used to be just the Hatter making conversation, with Alice adopting a cold stance, but now I get the feeling they've struck a balance.) |
| (The Hatter himself isn't that interested either, but by poking his nose in every now and then it makes for a good balance.) |
| (While they're each maintaining a set distance, they're aware of one another.) |
| (Ah, their usual relationship is showing. That's why it feels natural and not odd.) |
| (More importantly, Masumi-kun seems to be having more fun than usual. You can tell that he's enjoying being on stage.) |
| (Itaru-san, too――) |
| (Since if I had to pick, these two seem like the ones with the least passion for theatre in the Spring Troupe, I'm kind of happy.) |
| (I get excited watching them; it's fun.) |
| |
Izumi | (Next is the scene with the King of Hearts.) |
| (Alice, who's come to meet the King of Hearts as told to by the Hatter, is forced to participate in a game of croquet and puts the King into a mood.) |
The King of Hearts | "The death penalty." |
Alice | "Huh?" |
The King of Hearts | "The death penalty." |
Alice | "I don't understand. I justーー." |
The King of Hearts | "The death penalty." |
Alice | "Why do I have to die. It's too extreme!" |
Izumi | (Even though Citron-kun tended to stand back a bit, he's fixing that too.) |
| (He stands out because he has an outstanding presence, and that makes the venue tense.) |
The King of Hearts | "Into the jail!" |
Izumi | (This was perfect too!) |
| |
Izumi | (Finally, the last scene with Alice, who's returned to reality, and the Professor......) |
Professor | "Good morning, Alice. How are you feeling?" |
Alice | "The worst. I wasted quite a lot of time." |
Professor | "I see. That in itself is the answer to before." |
Alice | "The answer to before?" |
Professor | "What your friends can see, but you alone cannot. Have you already forgotten?" |
Alice | "Yeah. It was a pointless conversation." |
Professor | "Honestly......" |
Alice | "So then, the answer is?" |
Professor | "What you couldn't see was golden leisure. Your moratorium is only for now. I think you should enjoy yourself well." |
Alice | "I'll take that into consideration." |
Professor | "Oh, you're rather straightforward." |
Alice | smiles |
| "Because I'll pass on the tea from now on." |
Professor | "――" |
Izumi | (Masumi-kun changed his acting here......but it's really good.) |
| |
Audience Member A | That was good! |
Audience Member B | Yeah, it was even more interesting than before! I want to see it one more time! |
Izumi | (――Yeah, it's a huge sucess!) |
| |
Itaru | You changed your acting at the end. |
Masumi | Not really? |
Itaru | You were smiling. |
Masumi | ......Yeah. |
| ......Because it was fun? |
Itaru | Hm? What did you say just then? |
Masumi | ......I won't say it for my whole life. |
Tsuzuru | Well done! The two of you changed your acting too much! |
Sakuya | You were the best! |
Citron | It was justice! |
Itaru | Well, it finally reached the completed phase. Sorry for worrying you. |
Masumi | Curtain call. |
Itaru | Shall we go? |
Tsuzuru | Alright! |
Sakuya | Let's go! |
Citron | Go! |
