| Izumi | Oh. Welcome back, Banri-kun, Kumon-kun. |
| They posted the announcement about our performance at Soukuu’s stage just a while ago, and… |
| COMMENT A | “A delinquent play from MANKAI Company? I’m excited for it!” |
| COMMENT B | "Azuma-san as a delinquent! I’ve GOTTA see that!” |
| COMMENT C | “Banri-kun and Juza-kun playing delinquents are just too perfect of a match!” |
| Kumon | Oh hey! Everyone’s really looking forward it! I’m so glad~ |
| Izumi | Mh-hmm. The general response seems to be a pretty positive one, as far as I’ve seen. But then there’s a few others that are… |
| COMMENT D | ' “Doing a delinquent play HERE? kinda yikes bro…” |
| COMMENT E | “They didn’t even think about the image this place has, did they.” |
| COMMENT F | “you don’t think this troupe was threatened into doing this? after all, this rehearsal studio has connections with a crime group, right” |
| Banri | …… |
| Izumi | I can’t say I didn’t expect these kinds of reactions. But reading them doesn’t make the sting any less painful. |
| Misumi | Soukuu is such a nice studio too. And Tatsumi’s a really nice guy… (suuuulk) |
| Kumon | I really hope this doesn’t make any more weird guys get close to the place though… |
| Izumi | Huh? Weird guys? |
| Kumon | You see, earlier… |
| |
| Izumi | I see. So that sort of thing happened because of all the controversial rumors… |
| Kumon | Yeah. That’s why I’m worried… |
| Misumi | Do you think it’d be better for us to do patrols during rehearsal days…? |
| Banri | No, I don’t think we should stoop down to a level that could entice them even more. |
| But more than that, take a look at these comments. |
| COMMENT G | “I’m gonna take a live recording on the performance day” |
| COMMENT H | “im thinking of going too. something problematic might up come fr since it’s a former juvenile school n all LOL” |
| Banri | Despite everything, it seems like these guys are still rarin’ to go see our performance… Which means only one thing, right? |
| How's 'bout we give these biased word-spinning netizens a REAL show— by givin' them a change of perspective through our acting. |
| Kumon | You’re right! |
| Misumi | Yeah! Let’s do our best! |
| |
| |
 |
| Azuma | Thank you. I was starting to get a little hungry myself. |
| Misumi | Wah, this is a huge bag! Wonder what’s in it? |
| Izumi | He said it’s got a bunch of snacks that’ll get you re-energized in a jiffy. |
| *RUSTLING* |
 |
| Sakuya | Let’s see… Juice packs, choco sticks, lollipops, gummies, and dessert pastries—— |
| There’s a lot of other sweets besides those too. |
| Azuma | Even the dessert pastries themselves have different kinds to them. I bet Juza would love this whipped-cream sandwich. |
| Juza | You’re right. It looks real tasty. |
| Tasuku | I’m thankful he went out of his way to send these to us but, how do you put it… It’s a nostalgic lineup, to say the least. |
 |
| Izumi | I get what you mean. A lot of these snacks are ones I’d often have myself when I was a student. It does make me feel a little nostalgic. |
| (Which, now that he mentions it… Seeing everyone holding these sweets while wearing these school uniforms really makes it look like everyone is an actual high school student.) |
| Sakuya | Director, is something wrong? |
| Izumi | Oh, nothing. I was just thinking how everyone’s outfits really suit you. You look especially cool in yours, Sakuya-kun. Like a real delinquent. |
| Sakuya | Th-Thank you very much!! |
| Izumi | (Actually, where are Banri-kun and Kumon-kun——) |
 |
| Izumi | (Fufu, seems like they’re doing some final checks on their body switch scenes over there.) |
| Kumon | Huh, Director? |
| Banri | Oops. We got so caught up I didn’t notice anything else. |
| Izumi | Oh no no, don’t mind it! If anything, I’m glad to see how fired up you guys are! |
| Banri | ‘Course we are. |
| Kumon | We’re more than ready to give it our all for the real thing! So bring it on![1] |
| Banri | I was gonna say you’ve got the juvie vibes right, but your role isn’t even a juvie, right? |
| Kumon | Sh-shut it! |
| Juza | Oi, Settsu. You makin’ fun of Kumon? |
| Banri | Am not, you brocon bastard. And would it kill ya to NOT talk while your face is full of cream!? |
| Izumi | (Things have gone pretty smoothly the whole rehearsal period. I really hope it stays that way on the show itself…) |
