| Kuraki | Minagi, Miyoshi. It’s nice of you to come over. |
| Oohara | Hello! It’s been a while! |
| Kogawa | You guys came to see us? I’m so glad…!! |
| Tsuzuru | Hey you two. Kuraki-sensei, as well. It’s been a while. |
| Kazunari | Good to see everyone’s doing well~! Thanks for inviting us! |
| Oohara | Of course. We’re also glad we got your permission to let us perform a rerun of the Setsubun play’s script! |
| Tsuzuru | I want to see you guys perform, after all. When I heard you guys wanted to do a rerun, I was ecstatic. |
| Kazunari | Me too! But what made you guys want to try doing a rerun in the first place? |
| Kogawa | Actually, the theatre club has been getting more and more members. Now we have enough to fill in the roles for that same script. |
| Kuraki | There have been so many students who wanted to join the theatre club after watching that play during the Setsubun Festival. |
| We’ve really gotten so many more members since then. It’s all thanks to Minagi and everyone. |
| Oohara | Also, we saw how MANKAI Company took on sequels for your plays, even nabbing a nomination for the Fleur Award…. |
| That inspired us to try and take on our own challenges as well. |
| Kogawa | That’s why we wanted to see if you could do the play that we performed with MANKAI Company before— but now our very own theatre club members instead. |
| And that’s only one of the challenges we wanted to take on! |
| Tsuzuru | I see. If you guys came up with this from watching us, then the honor is ours. |
| Kazunari | Awh, aren’t you guys just the sweetest…!! Good on you guys to challenge yourselves! We’ll be really rooting for you guys, okay! |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. If we can, we’ll be happy to help in any way |
| Oohara | Thank you so much! If it’s okay to ask then, can you watch our rehearsal today and give us advice on anything we need to work on? |
| Also, for the rerun, we asked a friend who’s in the art club to help us with the flyer design. |
| He said he wanted Miyoshi-san to take a look at his draft if that’s okay… |
| Kazunari | Huh, me? |
| Oohara | Yes. As a designer himself, he said he’s a fan of you, Miyoshi-san. |
| Kazunari | FR?! Wow, is it me, or am I getting a ton of new fans these days~? |
| Tsuzuru | You could at least not say that out loud yourself. |
| Oohara | Our friend said that he’ll come over soon—— Oh, speak of the devil! |
| Kogawa | Maki, over here! |
| Maki | G-Good afternoon…! N-Nice to meet you. Miyoshi-san, Minagi-san…! |
| My name is Maki, 2nd year. I’m part of the art club. I feel v-very honored to meet one of my idols here!! |
| Kazunari | Heya~ Nice to meet you! No need to be so anxious you know~ |
| Maki | Y-Yes! Thank you very much! |
| (exhales) … I’m still so nervous though… Uhm, if it’s okay, could you please take a look at my flyer’s design right away? |
| Kazunari | Of course! |
| Kogawa | We’ll be over there doing rehearsals in the meantime. Please call for us anytime if you need us! |
| Kuraki | I’ll be with the theatre members as well, so feel free to ask us anything if you must. |
| Kazunari | Roger dodger! What about you, Tsuzuroon? Wanna take a look at the flyer draft together while you’re here? |
| Tsuzuru | Sure. I’m curious to see it myself too. Is that alright? |
| Maki | Of c-course!! Uhm, here! The draft. |
| Kazunari | WOAH! This has some crazy quality stuff! |
| Tsuzuru | You’re right. You can really feel that it’s set in a world of oni with this. That’s amazing. |
| Maki | It’s not… at all…. |
| Kazunari | ?? |
| Maki | When I see Miyoshi-san’s flyers, it’s like… With just one look, my imagination overflows with what their worlds would be, and that fills me with excitement… |
| Not to mention how each and every one of the designs matches well with the vibes of the actors! |
| Tsuzuru | Well… Miyoshi-san’s skill is the real deal, I can say that much. |
| Kazunari | Woah, was that a huge compliment I just heard from you, Tsuzuroon!? |
| Tsuzuru | So, what you mean to say is that you’re not fully satisfied with your own design? |
| Maki | …Yes. I feel like there’s still something missing from what I’ve been able to come up with… |
| Kazunari | That so… By the way, have you tried talking to the theatre club members yourself? |
| Maki | I often talk with Oohara and Kogawa, but not so much with the others… |
| Kazunari | Maki-kun, you said just now that my designs match up with the actors’ vibes, right? |
| That’s probably because I know a lot about the actors I work with— each and every one of them. |
| That’s why when I’m coming up with my flyer designs, I also base them on each person’s character and go from there. |
| Although maaaybe the flyer for Spring Troupe’s debut play was kinda an exception~ |
| Tsuzuru | Ahh, that… A whole lot of things were happening too fast at the time. Though when it’s with Miyoshi-san, things are always happening too fast all the time. |

| Kazunari | (So Tsuzuroon already sent me the files with the script and the photos for the RomiJuli play…) |
| But wow… So he wrote all this…? |
| (I’m finding myself feeling moved the more I read it…) |
| The resolution on these pics is at an all-time low though… Hrmm, now how am I going to edit this then.. |
| (But hey, after reading that script, I’m struck with all sorts of ideas now! OK then, let’s get to drawing!) |
| |
| Kazunari | (Everything's looking spiffy! … Is what I’d like to say.) |
| (But now I wonder if this design actually matches well with the two main leads though…) |
| (Hmm. Mulling about it won’t do me any good. I may as well ask Tsuzuroon instead!) |
