| Izumi | *yawn*... |
| (Looks like they all haven't woken up yet. But well, given that they were up pretty late last night, this should be expected. Shall I prepare breakfast?) |
| (Hmm, eggs and milk…) |
| Tenma | Morning. |
| Izumi | Huh? Morning. You're up early today. How about the others? |
| Tenma | Doesn't look like they're gonna wake up any time soon. |
| Izumi | You could've slept in a little bit more too. |
| Tenma | Nah. Now that I'm awake, I'm gonna go for a short run. |
| Izumi | Make sure not to overdo it, 'kay? It may affect your injury. |
| Tenma | Got it. |
| Izumi | (Tenma-kun sorta looks better than before.) |
| |
| Tenma | ...Phew. |
| Zen | … |
| Tenma | …? |
| Zen | Hey. |
| Tenma | You are… |
| Zen | Oh, right, this is the first time we meet. |
 |
| Tenma | Zen Kuryu… That means you're the first-gen member…? Why are you here… |
| Zen | I've got some stuff to do nearby. How 'bout you? You alone? |
| Tenma | Yea… |
| Zen | That's unusual. |
| Tenma | … |
| ...I'm planning to watch this. |
| Zen | Shooting footage? |
| Tenma | It's from the drama I starred in with Hiro-san. This was taken when I got injured--. |
| Zen | Ooh, it's that one. |
| Tenma | I have to review this before we resume filming, but I can't bring myself to watch my disappointing self. |
| I thought I'd pluck up the courage to do it if I came here, but… |
| Zen | Lend it to me. |
| Tenma | --Hey! |
| Zen | … |
| Tenma | Don't look! It still hasn't been broadcasted! |
| Zen | Both you and that guy suck so bad it's so funny. |
| Tenma | Don't say it with a straight face! ...By that guy, you mean Hiro-san? |
| Zen | Well, he's better than you. |
| Tenma | Ugh--. |
| Even if I'm like this, Director and Hiro-san praised me. |
| Zen | Your action wasn't as good as it looked. You're lacking one important thing. |
| Tenma | What do you mean? An important thing…? |
| Zen | It's the murderous intent. |
| Tenma | Murderous intent? |
| Zen | Be it humans or animals, we always have purpose and reason when we fight. Otherwise, we won't even bother throwing ourselves in danger. |
| We all have different reasons, like to protect ourselves, family, friends, or anything important to us… |
| No matter what your reason is, our determination and enthusiasm to take down our opponents are clear and strong. ...If we don't have that murderous intent, we won't be able to convince ourselves to raise our fist. |
| Tenma | I see… |
| Zen | What do you want to protect? |
| Tenma | … |
| The thing I want to protect… |
| *stomach rumbling* |
| Zen | You're going to collapse if you don't go back soon. You want to accomplish your goal, don't you? |
| Tenma | Yea… |
| |
| Kumon | This curry omelette looks yum~! |
| Yuki | You could've made a normal omelette. |
| Misumi | Time to dig in~! |
| Zen | I'm digging in. |
| Tenma | Hey, hold on, why are you eating too!? |
| Izumi | To be honest, I also find it strange. |
| Kumon | Since when has he been here~? |
| Kazunari | You're quick, Zen-san! |
| Zen | When I said I have stuff to do, I was referring to this lodging house. I need to take care of the documents related to the purchasing procedure. |
| Muku | Eh!? By purchasing--. |
| Izumi | Could it be, Zen-san was the one who bought this lodging!? |
| Zen | Yeah. When I saw this lodging on sale, I thought it'd be good to spend my retirement life here. |
| Kazunari | You're gonna retire!? |
| Zen | Not in the near future, but eventually I will. I came to like this place after using it a few times during my MANKAI Company days. |
| If you want to use it for your training camp, use it as you like. |
| Izumi | Are you sure!? |
| Kumon | Yeaay! We can come back here again! |
| Izumi | That's great to hear… |
| Muku | Um, thank you for telling me about the sunflowers field. |
| Tenma | You told him that? |
| Zen | Yeah. Looks like it was helpful. |
| |
| Kumon | It's for this stuff! I'm gonna buy it so you can go ahead! |
| Muku | Ah, yeah. |
| Zen | … |
| Muku | --Ah! |
| Zen | Hm? |
| Muku | Hello! |
| Zen | I feel like I bump into the new bunch a lot these days… |
| Muku | Um, I figured the old members also used the lodging house too back in the days, right? |
| Zen | Yea--There's nothing there but it's a good place. |
| Muku | You see, we're going there tomorrow… |
| Zen | For the Showdown Act? |
| Muku | Ah, no… |
| Zen | ? |
| Muku | Ever since his on-set accident, Tenma-kun has been down. We all want to cheer him up. |
| Zen | … |
| In that case, there's a sunflower field nearby. |
| Muku | Eh? |
| |
| I never noticed there's a field here when we first came. |
| Misumi | We may find other things if we go on strolls more~! |
| Kazunari | Let's explore this area next time! |
| Kumon | Yea! |
| Zen | Rather than talking 'bout that, you better go practice now. |
| Kumon | Rogeeer! |
| Yuki | Why should we? We've already accomplished our goal. |
| Tenma | Don't be silly! |
| Yuki | *sighs* You're really all better now. |
| Izumi | I'm gonna join once I'm done with cleaning. |
| Misumi | Lemme help you clean~. |
| Zen | --Hey, you. |
| Misumi | ? |
| |
| Tenma | "Cut it out--!" |
| "Take that!" |
| "Hya!" |
| ...Damn, it's no good after all. |
| Muku | You okay? |
| Yuki | Is your injury hurting? |
| Tenma | No, it's not that… |
| Kazunari | I'm sure you can do better once you're completely healed! |
| Izumi | --Ple-Please stop! |
| Tenma | !? |
| |
| Misumi | I-I'm sorry… |
| Zen | You think you can get away with an apology, shitty brat? |
| Misumi | I didn't mean it! |
| Zen | You bastard--! |
| *slaps* |
| Izumi | Kyaa~. Kyaa~. |
| Tenma | --Stop it! |
| Zen | --. |
| You're Summer Troupe's leader, aren't you? You can't protect them like that--. |
| *punches* |
| Misumi | --Ugh. |
| Tenma | Damn you…! |
| *kicks* |
| Zen | --. |
| Kazunari | He hit him…! |
| Zen | ...That's it. Remember that feeling. |
| Misumi | Uuu, sorry for forcibly turning the round onigiri into a triangle! |
| Tenma | ...Hah? |
| Zen | Director's acting had me wondering whether this'd work out, but Misumi did a good job pretending to be hit. |
| Tenma | Acting…? |
| Yuki | I mean, it was pretty obvious by the way she recited the line so monotonously. |
| Kazunari | But it was such a convincing performance! |
| Kumon | It kept me on my toes! |
| Muku | I was at a loss too. |
| Tenma | What the hell!? |
| Misumi | Sor~ry. |
| Zen | Did you already know what you want to protect? |
| Tenma | ...Yeah. |
| Zen | Well now, it's about time for lunch. Everything's ready. |
| Yuki | It's probably curry again, anyway. |
| Kumon | We have nothing but curry in the end~. |
| Zen | I have vichyssoise with salmon and avocado salad, and mussels paella. |
| Kazunari | That's so fancy, man! |
| Kumon | They sound delish! |
| Izumi | The first one got me curious, but I'm looking forward to it. |
| Yuki | Why are you doing this much for your opponent? |
| Zen | You have a point… If I must say, I'm picking on you. |
| Izumi | Picking on us!? |
| Zen | No need to worry. I didn’t do this because I was expecting a reward or something. |
| Izumi | ??? |
| Tenma | I don't really get it, but I appreciate what you did. |
| Misumi | Thanks! |
| Tenma | But we won't lose at the Showdown Act. |
| Zen | Hmph, youngsters sure are different. |
