Ito | I’m Ito from “Spotlight”. I look forward to working with you today. |
Tsuzuru | S-S-Sa-Sa-Sa-Same here! |
Ito | I shall move on to the questions right away. Where do you usually get ideas for your scripts? |
Tsuzuru | That’s, that, uh, a lot, like my daily life, chat with fellow troupe members… a lot, a lot. |
Izumi | (Tsuzuru-kun is so nervous…!) |
Ito | I see. Moving on to the next question, please tell us your usual writing environment. |
Tsuzuru | Umm… usually… usually with the PC on my desk... It’s just your typical writing environment. |
Ito | Oh, okay, I see. Next question—. |
Izumi | (W-Was it really all right?) |
| (I feel like it’ll be better to have a little bit more conversation to ease his tension. We can put in some questions in the process so that he can tell us more…) |
| (But then again, he’s a professional reporter. It’s not my place to say such a thing…) |
Ito | I think that’s all for the questions. Next, I’d like to ask you about your upcoming Showdown Act against GOD-za! |
Tsuzuru | O-Okay. |
Izumi | (He almost fell forward…) |
Ito | Do you mind if I ask questions about the ideas of the upcoming play while looking at the script? |
Tsuzuru | S-Sure—. But I put so many notes here it’s messy… |
Photographer | We’re ready to shoot now! |
Ito | Ah, I apologize. Can you do the photoshoot first? |
Tsuzuru | Y-Yeah! Pho-Pho-Photoshoot, alright! |
Izumi | (He’s freaking out again, even more so than before…) |
| Tsuzuru-kun, you can do it! |
Ito | Tachibana-san, we’d like to ask for your presence there to supervise him. |
Izumi | Eh? Me too? |
Tsuzuru | I’m begging you! |
Izumi | (He, He’s desperate…) |
| Got it. |
| |
Tsuzuru | *phew*... I feel like they also captured my soul… |
Izumi | Good work there. |
Ito | Thank you for your hard work. I shall return the script. |
Izumi | Huh? Didn’t you say it’s necessary… |
Ito | To tell you the truth, we’re running out of time… You can answer the rest of the questions through email. |
Izumi | Is that so? |
Ito | With that said, I’d like to wrap the interview. Thank you for taking your time today. |
Tsuzuru | N-N-N-N-No problem. We’d like to thank you too! |
Izumi | (For some reason, I feel like this interview strangely ended too soon. I wonder if conducting an interview is always this fast…) |
| |
Kusumi | “The beauty of the devil”, “Eternity”... Shit, what am I doing wrong…shit! |
| *beeps sound* |
| What’s with this email? The sender is anonymous—is it spam? |
| —. |
| “The Devil Captive in Eternity”....is this a photo of a script…? |
| … |
| What the… oh well, whatever. I’m sure this line will make Kamikizaka-san—. |
| |
Madoka | *sighs*... |
| (I have to revise this script and send it quickly, and yet…) |
| (My hands are not moving at all. If this keeps up, I’ll cause troubles to those two GOD-za actors.) |
| |
Shifuto | “I want to try performing a script you freely write. It may be difficult right now, but… someday, at GOD-za.” |
| |
Madoka | … |
| (A script I freely write…) |
| (Should I give it a try…) |
| … |
| *phone buzzes* |
| —. |
| Hello. |
Kusumi | “Oh, Madoka? The script had already been approved. You don’t need to revise that one anymore.” |
Madoka | Huh? Did you fix it, father? |
Kusumi | “Of, of course! Who else, then?” |
| “I rewrote the script per Kamikizaka-san’s feedback. He even praised me!” |
Madoka | I… see… |
Kusumi | “I’ll send the final draft through email, so check it.” |
Madoka | ...Understood. |
| (This is the first time father’s revision was approved. I wonder what it was like…) |
| … |
| (Did father really write this line?) |
| (I’ve been reading father’s works up until now. He’s never used this style before.) |
