| Izumi | What a final performance! Nice work! |
| Tsumugi | Nice work. |
| Tasuku | Nice work. |
| Azuma | Nice work. |
| Izumi | I was so worried when the power went out, but I’m glad we managed to make it through! |
| Tsumugi | We were so desperate to continue the scene. |
| Sakuya | Everyone was so cool, staying calm under those conditions! |
| Tsuzuru | Our fourth performances were all pretty tumultuous, but a power outage is some top-class trouble. |
| Tenma | Nah, I think Autumn Troupe stalling for time puts up a good fight. |
| Izumi | True.... |
| Banri | Hey, Summer Troupe’s stand-in ruckus was a pain too. |
| Kumon | Thanks for helping me out back then! |
| Itaru | Remember when the director and the lead disappeared? |
| Chikage | I didn’t know that happened. |
| Itaru | Hey. It was your fault. |
| Sakuya | You’re right, that happened too. Back then, Citron-san was still around, and.... |
| Tsuzuru | It still feels weird not having Citron-san around. |
| Izumi | .... |
| Guy | Can I have a word? |
| Izumi | ? |
| Guy | I began acting to take responsibility for Citronia leaving; yet, before I knew it, I became completely absorbed—so much so that it surprised me. |
| The moment I made it through the final performance, I felt like I understood why Citronia stayed in this troupe even at the risk of being caught by the Kingdom. |
| There is nothing more fun than standing on stage with everyone in this troupe... For the first time, I understood what Citronia’s words meant. |
| At the same time, I got a vague sense of why Citronia left me in this country. |
| Citronia might have wanted me to learn about this country he loved; the warmth of this troupe, and the fun of theater. |
| I could regain my past, my true self, and these feelings thanks to Citronia. |
| At first I was puzzled by Citronia’s actions, but now I know. |
| Izumi | (Citron-kun’s feelings reached Guy-san....) |
| Guy | ...But now I also want to know the truth: did Citronia truly wish to leave this country? |
| I intend to return to Zahra Kingdom to meet Citronia. |
| Izumi | Eh—. |
| Tsuzuru | But won’t you get caught if you go back...? |
| Guy | That’s fine. I need to meet Citronia. |
| Izumi | Guy-san.... |
| Sakuya | Then we’ll go with you! |
| We also want to know Citron-san’s true feelings! |
| Tsumugi | If Guy-san is going, so will we. |
| Homare | It’s the perfect opportunity. I’ve always wanted to visit Zahra Kingdom at least once. |
| Guy | ...But if you’re with a wanted criminal, you’ll get in trouble too. |
| Azuma | You’re one of us. We won’t let you go alone. |
| Guy | ——. |
| Itaru | But the Royal Palace is heavily guarded and it’s difficult to get past the front entrance, right? |
| Guy | ...There is one way. |
| The coronation ceremony. During the coronation ceremony, performers from around the world gather to set the mood. |
| The performances cover all sorts of genres, but the people of Zahra Kingdom love theater over all others, so many foreign theater troupes come to put on shows. |
| They open the theater within the Royal Palace for that time, and the general public watches the performances in the same space as the royal family. |
| If there’s one chance to get close to Citronia, that’s it. |
| If I’m going alone, I can take any risk, but if we’re all going together, this is the most certain method. |
| Izumi | I see... So we should put on a performance as MANKAI Company during the coronation ceremony. |
| Sakyo | But it’s impossible to take everyone. |
| Banri | Yeah, even if we’re counting actors and backstage members, only ten or so people can go. |
| Tenma | Which performance will we be putting on anyway? |
| Tasuku | We’re talking about Citron, so Spring Troupe? |
| Sakyo | But you’d need a stand-in for Citron regardless of which performance you choose. Otherwise the steadiest group here is Winter Troupe. |
| Tasuku | Well, if it’s The Phantom of the Opera, Guy-san can cover his face with the Phantom’s mask. |
| Banri | Won’t they know from your passport? Worst case scenario, you’ll get caught at the airport. |
| Chikage | I can do something about that. |
| Itaru | What do you mean, something.... |
| Chikage | Back when we talked about going to Zahra Kingdom, I made a fake one just in case. |
| Itaru | Seriously? |
| Banri | You’re too powerful.... |
| Izumi | (It’s obviously a crime, but I won’t think too much about it.) |
| Then let’s put on Winter Troupe’s performance for Zahra Kingdom’s coronation ceremony, and take Spring Troupe’s members as the backstage crew. |
| Sakuya | Yes! |
| Tsumugi | All right. |
| Homare | A performance abroad—how exciting. |
| Izumi | Summer Troupe and Autumn Troupe will hold down the fort here. |
| Banri | Okay. |
| Tenma | Don’t worry about us. |
| Manager | Err, erm... So how much does a one-way ticket to Zahra Kingdom cost...? |
| Guy | It depends on the season, but it should cost about 100,000 yen[1] right now. |
| Manager | 100,000 yen x 2 x 12 people.... 2,400,000 yen...! Please walk there, everyone.... |
| Tsuzuru | That’s impossible! |
| Tasuku | What are we going to do when we hit the ocean? |
| Manager | We have a rubber boat.... |
| Tsuzuru | How long do you think that’ll take.... |
| Azuma | I don’t mind paying for my own ticket. I’ll chip in for people who don’t have enough. |
| Homare | I’ll help out too. |
| Tsumugi | I can manage, too. |
| Sakyo | Wait. |
| I have money set aside for the troupe in case something comes up. |
| Manager | Eh!? Really!? I didn’t realize I had money under the carpet.... |
| Sakyo | It’s not your money. |
| Izumi | No, I can’t make you pay for it alone, Sakyo-san.... |
| Sakyo | I never intended to use the money for anything but the troupe. “Something” has come up, right? |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san.... |
| Sakuya | Thank you so much! |
| Guy | I’m sorry. |
| Sakyo | But make sure you’re successful. Find a patron or two in the royal family. |
| Tsuzuru | That’s a tough hurdle...! |
| Itaru | You’ll turn anything into a profit.... |
| Guy | The coronation ceremony is in two weeks. We need to get ready in a hurry. |
| Tsumugi | Yes! |
