| Izumi | The truth is, it was decided ahead of time that the play’s theme would be delinquents. By the owner’s request. |
| Juza | A play about delinquents… Sounds interesting. |
| Citron | I wanted to join myself, but alas, I already had other plans to see to… |
| So while I can’t join in the act, I can give you a helping hand instead! No one else has studied the ways of the delinquents like I have! |
| Sakuya | Oh right, you had a Yankee-themed VS Act Battle between Gira Gira☆Boys a while back right?[1] |
| Kumon | I couldn’t join you guys that time since I had my own stuff to take care of, but getting to be a delinquent NOW makes up for it! |
| I KNOW even Azami wanted to join in on this! |
| Izumi | It’s too bad he had other plans scheduled this time. |
| Azuma | Prince, is it alright to have someone like me join the play? After all, the delinquent image usually calls for people with tougher looks to them, no? |
| Sakuya | I was thinking that too… Compared to Juza-kun and Banri-kun, I fear that I don’t appear like someone who’d be strong in fights at all. |
| Citron | No problem at all! Why so? Because there are all types of delinquents these days! |
| Azuma could be the type who’s an advisor-like delinquent with a hidden unlimited power up his sleeve. As for Sakuya, he fits the puppy-type delinquent type who admires the strong! |
| Azuma | I see. If that’s the case, I can’t argue with that. |
| Misumi | I’d love to be the delinquent type who really loves triangles~ |
| Banri | That’s not a delinquent, that’s just “Misumi”. |
| Izumi | I left it up to Tsuzuru to decide the role settings, so I’ll let you all know once all the details have been decided. |
| Sakuya | Okay! |
| Tasuku | Guess that wraps up everything for today? |
| Citron | Hold a moment! To help with everyone’s role studies, I have here all of the volumes of “Yankee Star” for you to read. |
| Tasuku | “Yankee Star”...? |
| Kumon | It’s a yankee manga! It’s super interesting! Though I personally would recommend the spin-off even more! |
| Citron | But that’s not all— They feature a bunch of common tropes that come up in juvie manga~! |
| Azuma | Fufu, thank you for these. |
| Tasuku | Everyone’s pretty into this already… I suppose if it can be a good reference for role studies, we should give it a read. |
| Sakuya | I’ll work hard with my role study and bring out a real delinquent image! |
| Juza | I’m not too familiar with delinquents ‘n stuff either. I should actually take notes… |
| Misumi | I can help out with everyone’s delinquent role studies too~ |
| Sakuya, Juza, here, I’ll give you guys this! |
| Juza | It’s…. a leaf? |
| Misumi | Yep. Delinquents wear a leaf on their mouth just like this. I have this on me often when I do delinquent etudes! |
| Sakuya | Is that so! Let me try that right away! |
| Juza | …So like this? |
| Izumi | (Fufu, seems like everyone’s gotten eager about this.) |
| Banri | Hey, Director-chan. |
| Izumi | Hm? Banri-kun, is something up? |
| Banri | So we’re doing a delinquent play, right? But Soukuu had been getting flamed for the rumors that it’s a former delinquent school. If we mess this up, wouldn’t we be just pouring oil into the fire? |
| Izumi | I had the same worries myself, but I think it’s important to keep level-headed and be optimistic first. Plus, it seems the owner himself has a fondness for delinquents… |
| I think it’s because of the fact that everyone already has eyes on the studio because of the delinquent school rumors, then it would make it an even bigger talk of the town! At least, that’s what seems to be the angle he’s going for. |
| Banri | Wow, for real? The man’s got guts, I’ll give him that. |
| Izumi | Yeah. When I met him in person, it did seem like he was the aggressive but lighthearted kind of guy. |
| Oh right, I was thinking of using Soukuu’s main rehearsal area to practice for the performance. |
| That way, we can get everyone to meet face-to-face with the owner at least once before we start rehearsals for real. |
| Banri | Gotcha. So that means I get to meet him eventually too. |
| Izumi | (... I’m kinda curious to see their meeting myself.) |
| |
| |
| Misumi | Woooow, this rehearsal room is huuge~! |
| Azuma | They remodeled the place well enough that it’s hard to think that this used to be a school gymnasium before. |
| Tasuku | That’s true. I can’t imagine anyone who would think otherwise about a rehearsal room as good as this. |
| Izumi | Oh, everyone! The owner will be coming to greet us anytime now—— |
| ??? | Sorry for making you all wait. |
| Kumon | Eh? That voice—— |
