Announcer | We are currently counting the votes. Please wait until we announce the results. |
Izumi | ...I'm nervous. |
Tenma | We already did what we could. It now all depends on the audience. |
Tsuzuru | But well, no matter what the result is, I will have no regrets. |
Announcer | We will now announce the result. |
Izumi | --. |
Announcer | First gen, 49% vote share; Newborn gen, 51% vote share. The winner of this Showdown Act is the newborn MANKAI Company! |
Kumon | Huh!? For real!? |
Tenma | Nice!! |
Tsuzuru | Thank Gooood! |
Misumi | Yeaaay--! |
Kumon | We won--!!! |
Masumi | Next is the engagement gift… |
Chikage | It was pretty close, but we managed to win in the end. |
Kazunari | As expected of Tenten! |
Yuki | You got your revenge. |
Tenma | Of course. |
Muku | You're amazing, Kyu-chan! |
Azami | Helping you with your role-building was worth it in the end. |
Kumon | Ehehe! It's all thanks to everyone! |
Juza | Good job, Kumon. |
Kumon | I tried so hard so that you would not be taken away, Nii-chan! |
Juza | I've told you not to worry about the whole getting poached thing… |
Kazunari | You too, Sumi! Your duo with Massu was perfect! |
Misumi | It was so fun! |
Masumi | Well, we prepared for the role well, after all. |
Sakuya | You did it, Tsuzuru-kun! |
Citron | We made the right decision with the change of mice! |
Tsuzuru | Well, I appreciate that. |
Chikage | Aren't you also going to be remembered as his son-in-law candidate with this, Masumi? |
Masumi | I'll write my resume and self-introduction and send it to him after this. |
Tsuzuru | Just letting you know, if your resume is too heavy it'll only have the opposite effect. |
Itaru | You too, Chikage-san. You gave off that last boss vibes well from the start until the end. |
Hisoka | You were natural. |
Chikage | I'd take that as a compliment. |
Hiro | We…lost… |
Reni | We were splendidly defeated. |
Syu | Can't be helped. |
Yuzo | Performing this piece alone has already made me satisfied. |
Zen | You're right. I have no regrets. |
Kasumi | Uuugh, I'm frustrated but also happy at the same time. In any case, I'm overwhelmed with emotions… |
Yuzo | You look like a mess, y'know. |
Kasumi | How cruel…! |
Hiro | Damn, I've gotta admit you're cool, Tenma. |
Tenma | --Thank you. |
| I could grow this time because I was conscious of Hiro-san. |
| Since I thought that my acting was no match for yours, I'm grateful that you riled me up. |
| I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble during shooting. |
| But since I was able to grow even more through this play, I can assure you that I'll certainly do better than last time when we resume filming. |
Hiro | Obviously, that's what you ought to do. |
| Well, I was also able to shamelessly perform to my real abilities without minding the word "mature" for the first time in years. |
| I'll be counting on you as my buddy next time. |
Tenma | Same here. |
Zen | You finally reconciled, huh. |
Tenma | Thank you for giving me advice about action, Zen-san. |
Hiro | Hang on, you lent your hand to the enemy!? Traitor! |
Zen | For you to dawdle over such trivial things… I don't recall there being any intolerant heroes like that. |
Hiro | Sh-Shut up! |
Syu | Tsuzuru Minagi-sensei. |
Tsuzuru | --Y-Yes. |
Syu | You sure have courage not to listen to your senior's advice at all. |
Tsuzuru | Haha, I apologize. |
Syu | But the last part was good. It was an ending that Hakkaku-san would definitely not write. |
| In other words, you have something that person doesn't have as a playwright. |
| And that includes the fact that you're also takin' the stage. Be proud of it. Do not ever let that go. |
Tsuzuru | --I won't. It was all thanks to Otomiya-san that I could look back at my writing style and weapon again. |
| I feel like I was able to grow again after realizing what my strength was. Thank you. |
Syu | You sure are a fine one to say such a thing when you ignore other people's advice. But well, I guess that part of you is similar to that person. |
Tsuzuru | --. |
| I wanted to chat with Hakkaku-san. |
Syu | ...Talk with your brush. |
Tsuzuru | ? |
Haruto | I expected no less from Reni-san! That was wonderful! It was truly worthy of being called Fabulous!! |
Shifuto | You were really cool as an actor. I mean, you might as well take the top actor spot. |
Haruto | Y-You! Stupid! You're too blu--. |
Reni | You two...Have more backbone as actors. |
Guy | You didn't look different from the time when I saw you on the stage. |
Reni | Don't be silly. How many years do you think have passed since then? |
Guy | But it made me recall how I was moved by your performance when I was a child. |
| My emotion at the time might have led to the fact that I'm an actor now. |
Madoka | Nii-san. |
Kusumi | … |
Misumi | Ah! Did you guys watch it!? |
Madoka | Nii-san is truly a genius. I love your acting. |
Misumi | I also love the stories you write, Madoka! I want to perform it one day~. |
Madoka | Yes, certainly. I'll write more and more stories and catch up to Nii-san. |
Misumi | Hooray~! |
| Oh, a-and… Can we make paper airplanes together next time? |
Madoka | --. |
Misumi | Is it a no…? |
Madoka | --To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to fly paper airplanes with you, Nii-san. |
Misumi | Really!? Ehehe, I'm happy to hear that! |
Kusumi | … |
| ...Misumi, I'm sorry for ignoring you all this time. |
Misumi | It's all right! I can't do anything, after all. It can't be helped that you're angry at me, Father. |
Kusumi | You're wrong. You're overflowing with shining talent. Just like my father, you have a talent that comes from Heaven… |
| That is exactly why I’d developed a complex against you. |
| You have the thing that I, the son of Hakkaku Ikaruga, don't have. I was jealous of you who could truly communicate with Father and understand each other. |
| Not only you, Misumi, but also Madoka. I've done terrible things to you both as a parent. |
| I intend to think about what I should do to make amends for what I did. If the both of you wish for it, I will never show up in front of you again. |
Misumi | ...I don't hate you, Father. |
| So I want you to come to watch our plays again. |
Kusumi | Misumi… I'm sorry…*sobs* |
Madoka | Father… |
Misumi | Don't cry~. |
Banri | Zen-san. |
Juza | Nice work. |
Zen | Thanks. |
Banri | Man, aren't your traits way too much? You're strong at fighting, a restaurant owner who can cook, and also good at acting. |
| Next time I hope we can perform together, not fight. |
Juza | Me too. |
Zen | I've already retired. |
Banri | I don't think you have after seeing that play. |
Juza | You were as dazzling as us. |
Zen | Hmph, well, maybe. |
Sakyo | Hey, immature old man. |
Yuzo | Haah? Y'all sure don't respect your seniors. |
| But well, looking back at our debut show, the crawling baby from back then has grown up so much. |
Sakyo | Calling it "crawling" is too much. |
Yuzo | It's the same thing. Well, I had so much fun for the first time in years. |
Sakyo | Don't let your advanced age hold you back and be careful not to get muscle pain. |
Yuzo | This brat sure can't keep his mouth shut, huh. |
Izumi | (Thank goodness… Since it was such a close margin, either team could win. But the most important thing is that we could compete with the first-gen members on an equal footing.) |
Yuzo | Hey, c'mere for a sec. |
| |
Izumi | What's the matter? |
Yuzo | Here you go. We're still in public so keep it short, 'kay? |
Izumi | A phone call…? |
| |
??? | "Hello." |
Izumi | --. |
| (This voice…) |
??? | "It's been a long time." |
Izumi | D-Dad!? |
??? | "Ahaha, I was completely defeated." |
Izumi | Dad--Is this really you--? |
??? | "Yep. This is Dad." |
Izumi | Dad, you're… STUPID!!! SO INSENSITIVE!!! Do you know how worried I’ve been!? |
Yukio | "!!" |
| "S-Sorry. You were already in high school by that time so I asked your mom to come up with a good excuse…" |
Izumi | You can't do that! Even mom will be disappointed and angry if you say such a thing! |
Yukio | "I'm sorry…" |
Izumi | …--I'm glad you're safe. |
Yukio | "Yeah…" |
Izumi | And I'm glad you’re still continuing to do theater. |
Yukio | "Yep." |
Izumi | Your production was so good, so much better than mine--. I'm still far from good. |
Yukio | "Haha. I also worked hard, after all. I lost, though." |
| "I was overjoyed when I heard that you were doing theater at MANKAI Company. Both you and the troupe are my precious treasures." |
| "You did a good job." |
Izumi | --*sobs*. |
Yukio | "I couldn't contact you because I didn't want to make you worry and get involved in this." |
| "But it's all the same when it turns out like this…" |
| "I'll secretly call you from now on. Even though we can't meet, let's talk about anything." |
| "Though it seems like you're still busy right now, so I'll call again later." |
Izumi | It's a promise, 'kay? |
Yukio | "Yep." |
| *beeps* |
Izumi | … |
Yukio | Good for you. |
Izumi | Yes…*sobs*. |
| |
??? | … |
TV | "Receiving 51% of the votes, the winner of this Showdown Act is the newborn MANKAI Company!" |
??? | Hanasaka Jii-san, huh… |
| There's no mistake. This production is done by Yukio Tachibana. |
| MANKAI Company… I suppose we need to pinch and crush them one more time. |
