EPILOGUE: Popular Secret Curry…!?
Omi:Heh, did we get a letter from Bollywood Studios’ Inda-san?
Izumi:Yeah. It said to let everyone know how much she appreciated our help.
Izumi:Since then, the show’s been really well-received. The elephant gimmick’s so popular in fact, that they’re actually planning on a full-scale renovation of it during their next maintenance session.
Chikage:Our repair was more of just a temporary fix.
Tasuku:Well, if they plan on doing a full renovation, it’s safe to say it’s in good hands.
Izumi:Also inside the envelope was this coupon to Bollywood Studios, for the whole company.
Taichi:Yay! Now we can all go!
Misumi:Hooray~, everyone can dance together~!
Chikage: Coordinating everyone’s vacation time will be quite the challenge.
Azuma: Fufu, you don’t look as bothered by that as before though, Chikage-san.
Hisoka:…..Ah.
Tasuku:What the. When did this happen?
Hisoka: Right… Look at that.
Taichi:Oh! Bollywood Studios is being featured on a talk show!
Azuma: Really, now. They’re talking about the streets, food stalls…. and the show as well.
Omi: It hasn’t been long since it’s opened, but it seems like it’s been a huge success.
TV Reporter: “Just look at this huge line of visitors waiting to get into the park!”
TV Reporter: “What are you guys in line for?”
Waiting Customer A: “I want to try the curry from this shop’s secret menu!”
WaitingCustomer B: “Same here.”
Izumi:Ehh!
Taichi: Everyone already knows about the secret menu!?
Tasuku: Now that the word’s out, it’s not really a ‘secret’ menu anymore.
TV Reporter: “This curry’s become super popular, and more and more people are coming to visit Bollywood Studios!”
TV Reporter: “If it’s a secret menu, how did you guys find out about it?”
Waiting Customer A: “Word of mouth.”
WaitingCustomer B: “Same, I heard rumors and wanted to try it.”
Waiting Customer C: “My favorite blogger introduced me to it.”
Izumi:(Blogger? Could it be…)
Izumi: (Um, 'Chikausa’s Spicy~ Blog’…. I knew it! There’s a post about the curry from the secret menu!)
Izumi:….Chikage-san.
Chikage: What? That curry was delicious, it’d be a waste to leave it a secret.
Izumi:Well, I get how you feel.
Izumi:(Still, looks like that post had a huge influence…)
Tasuku: ….I remembered it and started sweating again.
Chikage: It was delicious, wasn’t it? Next time, when we go with everyone, I want to eat that shop’s curry again.
Tasuku: I’ll pass.

Misumi:The stage was a huge success~! The customers looked really happy too~!
Izumi: Yeah! Both the play and the dance came out very good.
Inda: Really, everyone, I can’t thank you enough! That was a wonderful performance.
Chikage: I’m happy the elephant worked properly, too.
Inda: Yes! We owe everything to you guys.
Inda: So, how can we repay you? Whatever you want, just ask.
Taichi:The MVPs were the two who fixed the elephant!
Azuma: Agreed. Chikage, Tasuku, is there anything you’d like?
Tasuku:No, I’m fine. Just getting to do a play here is enough.
Tasuku: I learned a lot from performing on a different stage, and I had a lot of fun.
Hisoka: Tasuku… you’ve got no desire.
Tasuku:What about you, Utsuki?
Chikage:I also don’t especially… Oh, yes I do.
Chikage:I think I’m interested in trying that curry shop you recommended us, Inda-san. Back on our first day here.
Omi:Ah, that curry shop, huh.
Inda: Of course, I’d be pleased to invite you! You guys can have what ever you’d like!
Taichi: Yay! To be honest, I was getting kinda hungry~.
Misumi:I’m hungry too~. I wonder if they have triangle curry?
Azuma:Fufu, I’m looking forward to it.
Inda:Here you go, your menus.
Omi:Wow, they’ve got so many different kinds of curry and side dishes.
Taichi:I can’t decide~. Which curry should I pick~?
Izumi:They all look really delicious…! I want to eat them all…!
Hisoka:Director’s eyes are shining.
Omi:Oh, Misumi, they’ve got samosa.
Misumi:Wahh~! Samosa triangles!*
Tasuku:Which one will I go with…
Chikage:Which menu do you recommend, Inda-san?
Inda:In that case, please wait here a moment.
Chikage:?
Inda: Sorry for the wait, this is our secret menu.
Inda: Out of all of my travels, I think the curry on this menu is the best I’ve ever eaten.
Chikage:I see, then I’ll have that one, please.
Tasuku:The best curry you ever had, huh… Then, I’ll have that one too.
-
Waiter:Sorry for the wait.
Chikage:Thank you very much. Heh, so there’s multiple types of roux.*
Inda: It’s an assortment of the ones I thought were delicious.
Chikage:I’m looking forward to trying them. Let’s hurry up and eat.
Tasuku: Let’s eat.
Tasuku:….!?
Tasuku:….Gh.
Chikage:…..
Tasuku: ….How can you eat so much of that.
Chikage: Really? Why, it’s delicious. Not only is it spicy, but you can also taste the spices’ complex flavor.
Chikage: It something that can’t be expressed in words.
Tasuku: ….I don’t get it.
Hisoka: ….Chikage seems more excited than usual.
Izumi:It’s got to be painful if Chikage-san is praising it so much, but I’m still curious….!
Taichi: Tasuku-san had one bite and had to drink water immediately.
Tasuku: ….I can’t even begin to describe how spicy that is.
Azuma:Fufu, I wonder if Inda-san is also a fan of spice.
Taichi: The level of spiciness that Chikage-san finds delicious…Eek~… Sounds terrifying.
Omi:Haha, we probably shouldn’t try that back home.
Misumi:Chikage, I’m glad you found a delicious curry~!
Chikage: You okay, Tasuku?
Tasuku:….
*triangular/cone shaped fried pastry with savory filling
*flour/fat mixture used as base for sauces
*(not a t/n, just a funny tidbit. vega informed me that thalis (the arrangement they’re eating off of in the cg) always comes with some form of yogurt/curd in order to aid against the spice (also visible in cg) while water makes the spice worse. chikage most likely knows both of these things and is just trolling tasuku.)

Izumi:(It’s Bollywood Studios’ opening day… Finally, the main stage performance is about to begin.)
Izumi: (In the end, our suggestion was approved, and the company members were asked to perform on opening day as a substitute….)
Azuma:Fufu, good thing the three of you were able to fit into your costumes.
Chikage: Well, there are some more muscular performers too.
Omi:To be honest, I was a little worried.
Taichi: You look great, Omi-kun!
Misumi: Yeah, yeah! Everyone looks super cool!
Tasuku:…Phew.
Azuma: Tasuku’s already getting into character.
Hisoka: He’s concentrating, we’d better leave him alone.
Izumi: (Everyone seems to be doing well, hopefully the rest of the day goes the same.)

Aarush (Tasuku):“…..”
Anik (Taichi): “……”
Anik:“Hey, brother. It’s said that if you wish upon this golden elephant statue, anything can come true.”
Anik:“Sometimes after work, I sneak off to come pray like this… What is it you always pray for, brother?”
Aarush: “That one day, we will be released from this status…. That is what I pray for.”
Anik: “Being released from this social status? ….That’s impossible. Praying for that is pointless.”
Aarush:“…..”
Ishaan (Omi): “Oi, what are lowlifes like you doing in a place like this?”
Kamal (Hisoka): “Tch… You’re in the way, move.” *kicks*
Anik:“Agh!”
Aarush: “Anik! Gh…!”
Ishaan: “What’s with that look? Cheeky bastard…!” *steps on him*
Anik: “Uugh….! Ouch…”
Kamal: “Hah, people like you deserved to get kicked and crawl around on the ground like this.”
Aarush: “Ah… Anyone, please… Help us…”
Atharv (Chikage): “….What’s going on here?”
Ishaan:“!?”
Kamal:“T-That’s…”
Ishaan:“H-Hey, let’s go.”
Kamal:“Y-Yeah…”
Atharv:“Are you okay?”
Aarush: “My wish really came true…”
Shaurya(Misumi): “Atharv-sama? Where are you?”
Atharv:“!”
Atharv:“…Don’t tell anyone you saw me. Okay?”
Aarush:“Ah..! W-Wait, please!”
Aarush:“…He’s gone.”
-
Aarush: “I want to thank the person who saved us the other day. Where can I meet him again?”
Anik: “Give it up, brother. It’s dangerous to go looking for him.”
Anik:“We’ll just get used as stress relievers like before.”
Anik: “Besides, with this awful drought we can’t even grow crops. We have no money or anything to give in return.”
Aarush: “I know. Still, that person helped us, and he didn’t look down on us for our low status…”
Aarush: “I really want to thank him.”
Izumi: (Aarush wanders around the city looking for his savior…)
Aarush:“Even if I wander the streets like this, I can’t simply meet with him. How am I supposed to meet him again…”
Vishaan (Azuma):“…!”
Vishaan: “Why is such a low-ranking person wandering onto our property?”
Vishaan: “Hey, I don’t want that someone like that in my sight. Someone get rid of him!”
Aarush: “! M-My apologies, I’m just…”
Shaurya: “What’s the matter?”
Atharv:“What’s all this ruckus about?”
Aarush: “…! Y-You’re…! Ah, I finally found you again…!”
Atharv: “From that time…”
Shaurya: “How dare you speak to Atharv-sama! Know your place!” *slap*
Aarush:“Gh…!”
Atharv:“Shaurya, quit….”
Vishaan:“Wonderful, just in time. That’s the one who’s been causing this drought.”
Aarush:“…!”
Atharv:“Wha….”
Vishaan: “Go on, take him away.”
Shaurya: “Now, come on!”
Aarush:“……”
-
Aarush:“……”
Atharv: “….Why did you come? I told you to forget about that.”
Aarush:“I wanted to thank you. I couldn’t believe someone of your status would reach out to help someone like me.”
Aarush: “I was overjoyed. You really saved me.”
Atharv:“You… Do you have any idea about what’s going to happen to you, about what you’ve just done?”
Aarush:“Yes.”
Aarush:“I’m poor, and I can’t even make life easier for my younger brother.”
Aarush: “But just by giving one of my lives, I can bring enough rain to save everyone in the country.”
Atharv:“…..”
-
Ritual Performer: “Please, bless this land with rain…!”
*rain begins to pour*
Citizen A:“Rain…?”
Citizen B: “It’s raining! Oh, blessed rain!”
Citizen C: “Yes, with this we can survive…! Thank you, thank you..!”
Citizen D: “Come on, let’s all dance in celebration…!”
Atharv:“…..”
Izumi:(Among the crowds of people singing and dancing in joy, the tears shed by Atharv vanish into the rain….)
*note: human sacrifice is extremely frowned upon in hinduism. the ending of this play is not an accurate representation of its religious practices. coming of rain and hindu rituals generally involve just singing and dancing, while a ‘sacrifice’ (butter/honey/etc.) is poured into a sacrificial fire (yagna). in rare cases where a live sacrifice is made it is never human (chicken/etc is used and is made clear the animal’s life will not be wasted & the soul will be honored). do not use this play as a reference for real hinduism.

Chikage:….So, if you have any spare parts similar to this, please let me know.
Inda:….Understood.
Inda: It’s an emergency remodeling…. But with the opening day so close, we can’t afford to keep the show as is.
Inda:So I’d like to trust you with the remodel.
Izumi:Thank you so much!
Inda: For now, I’ll lead you to our warehouse.
-
Inda:Here is all of our maintenance tools and parts used during renovations.
Inda:Feel free to use whatever you need.
Izumi:Will this do, Chikage-san, Tasuku-san?
Tasuku: There’s a bigger selection than I expected. If we combine them, I think we can make something good.
Chikage:Agreed. This has all the tools and parts we’ll need.
Izumi:(That’s a relief…! I’ll leave the rest to you two!)
Chikage:First, I think we should dismantle the foundation.
Tasuku:Then I’ll attach this hose here…. There we go.
Chikage:Yes, just right. Let’s use this part too.
Tasuku:….I’m glad I dismantled the dorm’s washing machine before. Thanks to that experience, I’m coming up with ideas for this remodel.
Chikage: Pfft, is that so. You couldn’t fix it that time though.*
Chikage: At any rate, thank god the elephant’s hollow.
Tasuku:So you want to put it in there, right. Okay, this way and…
*machine clink*
Tasuku:I never thought my hobby would come in handy like this.
Chikage: And to think it wasn’t acting.
Chikage:….Heh, you sound like you’re having fun, Tasuku.
Tasuku: I could say the same about you.
Chikage: I am having fun.
Chikage: I’ve been called the ‘repair guy’ of the troupe, and I’ve fixed, built, and modified a lot of different things. I enjoyed every single one of them, though.
Tasuku:Well, the same goes for me too. At first, I didn’t think you had such a hobby, Utsuki.
Chikage:Just incase you weren’t aware, I’m a boy, too.
Tasuku: 'Boys’ aren’t that old.
Chikage:You’re a real demon, y'know.
Chikage: Anyway, do you really think we could build an entire stage someday? The two of us.
Tasuku: No, if you’re involved, the stage will end up with all kinds of noise and flashing lights.
Chikage:And to think I liked you, Tasuku.
Tasuku:I’ve felt the same about you too until recently, Utsuki.
Chikage: Everyone seems to think we’re just two guys who like lighting things up.
Tasuku:Seriously, it’s a real nuisance.
Taichi:Ah, Tasuku-san, Chikage-san!
Misumi:How’s Elephant-san doing~?
Chikage:We did a small test run, and there doesn’t seem to be any problems.
Misumi: Really!? Yay~!
Tasuku: How’s the script?
Azuma:We thought about it and decided to change the standing positions along with a bit of the dialogue.
Hisoka: But there’s no major changes.
Chikage:I see. We don’t have much time to change too much, after all…
Taichi:We still have to tell the performers about the changes and have them memorize them in time.
Izumi:(It’s only small changes, and if it were just our troupe it’d be easy, but when you add dozens of performers on top of that…)
Tasuku:In that case, let’s go onstage first.
Omi:Well, originally, we were allowed to look around the theme park on the opening day as thanks for this…
Omi:So there’s no problem with our schedule.
Tasuku: Right. Do you guys have the script memorized?
Misumi:Yep!
Taichi: 'Course I do!
Hisoka: Sudden changes like this are the norm for us.
Azuma: As well as I can.
Izumi: Then, I’ll make the suggestion to Inda-san!
Chikage:Let’s get to work, Director-san.
*referencing bridegroom battle royale event story (i think)
【A3! Translation】 Golden Hathi (7/11)
(translation under the cut)
(glitch text ignore)
Izumi:Today we’ll be practicing with the performers who will actually be on stage.
Izumi:We’ll continue practicing for the show while also informing them of any changes we’re making. Let’s get to work, everyone!
Misumi: Okay~! Good luck everyone~!
Omi: Let’s get to work.
Performers: Same to you, let’s get work.
Izumi:Now then, let’s try this together, with all of the company members participating.
-
Izumi:(Good, the climax of the dance looks gorgeous, too. And finally, the elephant moves at the end of the story…)
Tasuku:….?
Izumi: ….Huh? The elephant isn’t moving…?
Staff A: What’s wrong? It’s supposed to move here.
Staff B: I-I know, but it’s not moving when I press the button.
Staff C: Huh!? Is it malfunctioning…!?
Hisoka:Malfunctioning…?
Taichi:If the elephant doesn’t move here, doesn’t that mean the story can’t finish!?
Misumi:What do we do…
Staff B: W-What are we going to do! Can we fix it quickly?
Staff A: Even if we can fix it, it’s not a guaranteed we can get all the parts in and repairs done in only one day.
Inda: Everyone, please calm down. We’ll consider what measures need to be taken at once.
Inda: Tachibana-san, I’m sorry, but we’ll have to suspend practice immediately.
Izumi:I understand.
Taichi:It’s nice to be back here for a bit, but…
Omi:What are we going to do now…
Izumi: Right now, the staff is still trying to find the reason why the elephant isn’t moving.
Tasuku:Though, even when they find the cause, will they still be able to have it ready by opening day?
Azuma:Could we make the risky choice of changing the script?
Omi: Changing it from the elephant setting, huh.
Hisoka:That’s a lot of changes.
Taichi: Nailing a new script in one day… I mean, it’s not impossible, but…
Misumi:Will everyone be able to memorize it by then~….?
Izumi: But, when considering changes…. have to keep in mind it’s not members of the company who will actually be performing.
Tasuku:Not to mention, the number of performers is pretty large. It’d be difficult for everyone to stay on pace with each other with that many changes.
Hisoka: In that case, we could use the script from before we supervised.
Taichi:W-We could… but everyone’s worked so hard…
Azuma: But, it may be our most realistic option. If the changes are made after the elephant gets fixed, they can still be ready for opening day.
Izumi:(Azuma-san’s right, but I also understand Taichi-kun’s feelings… Is there any way we can make this work…)
Chikage: If the elephant can at least do some action during the finale, all we’d have to do is change the ending.
Tasuku:Any ideas?
Chikage:Possibly… but I’ll need Tasuku’s help.
Izumi:…What’s your idea?
Chikage:We remodel the elephant.
Taichi:Huh!? Remodel it!?
Omi:Can you do that?
Chikage: When I heard that the original structures here were still partially intact, it hit me.
Chikage:It’s just a possibility, but I think that stage was originally a fountain or something of the sort.
Hisoka:A fountain…
Azuma: I see what you mean.
Chikage: I noticed it when I saw the water falling from above and the pipes underneath.
Chikage: I think we can use those to remodel the elephant.
Tasuku:Remodeling, huh… We can try.
Izumi:Alright, maybe I can suggest that to them.
Izumi:Chikage-san, let’s go to Inda-san’s office together to negotiate.
Chikage:Okay.
Omi:Then, while you two do that, we’ll discuss what to do about the script.
Taichi:Right!
Misumi:Fighto~!
【A3! Translation】 Golden Hathi (6/11)
over the halfway point woohoo
(translation under the cut)
(glitch text ignore)
Azuma: I see, so this is what it looks like from the audience’s perspective.
Izumi: I’d like to take better advantage of stage effects here. For example….
Tasuku:Agreed. I’ll go up on stage and move around a bit, you can use that to check.
Chikage:Rodger that.
Tasuku: …..How’s this?
Izumi: If water will be flowing from here, people around that area should probably move away a bit.
Chikage:But if you move too far, it’ll hard to be seen from the end seats.
Tasuku:Then, the standing position should be….
Azuma:…We should actually perform on stage while making adjustments, so any fine tuning can be made to the show.
Tasuku:This is turning out to be more like a training camp than I expected.
Hisoka: …Maybe it’s because of Tasuku.
Tasuku: Azuma-san, could you take a look at it from here?
Azuma:Alright. I’ve been called, so I’m off. Good luck with your dance, Hisoka.
Hisoka:Mhm.
Izumi:(Tasuku-san’s so lively, with playing the roles himself and making various suggestions and all.)
Izumi:(He did watch that Indian film recently. He seems to have gotten some good inspiration from the themes, stage, and performances.)
Izumi:(Tasuku-san’s attitude is having a positive impact on everyone else, too.)
Misumi:Hey, hey, how about this dance?
(misumi dances and flips around)
Taichi:That’s some super cool choreography, but it’s way too superhuman!
Omi:Given that other people will be performing the dances in the future, maybe it’s best to go with something a little simpler.
Misumi: I get it~. Hmm….
Taichi: Hisoka-san, how about these steps here?
(taichi dances)
Hisoka:There… should be a little more like this.
(hisoka dances)
Hisoka:It’s a small change, but if done correctly it’ll get the costumes to move a lot more… I think.
Taichi: I see, I see!
Hisoka:If you wanna add that choreography in, I think it’d fit well in the next section.
Misumi:Wahh~, that looks nice~! Then jump here like this~…
Omi:I think we could pull that off ourselves.
Inda: Amazing…! Ideas I never would’ve thought of before are popping up now…!
Izumi:Thank you very much. I hope with everyone together we can make your stage even better than before.
Izumi:Regarding the stage mechanics, you mentioned that at the end of the dance, this elephant also moves…
Inda: Right. Our staff will move it when the time comes.
Inda: Would you like to try it out?
Tasuku:Sure, I have been wanting to see it in action.
Omi:And again, new ideas could arise too.
Inda:Understood. Then, I’ll go move it.
-
Misumi: Wahh~, Elephant-san moved!
Omi:So the entire foundation moves, I see.
Taichi:Whoa, water’s shooting out! Awesome–!
Hisoka: Everything suddenly got cooler.
Azuma:It’s more dynamic than I imagined.
Inda:For safety reasons, the inside of the elephant is practically hollow, in order to reduce the weight of it.
Chikage:So in the unlikely event it would fall over, nobody would get hurt.
Tasuku:So if the elephant moves like this…
Tasuku:Excuse me, Director. I came up with another idea using this…
Izumi:Yes! Tell me!
Hisoka:Tasuku’s fired up again.
Azuma:Fufu, he looks like he’s having a lot of fun coming up with all kinds of ideas to implement into the stage.
Azuma: Why don’t we go the extra mile too.
Hisoka: Got it.
Izumi: (Everyone’s coming up with for different ideas and effects for the stage.)
Izumi: (It looks like this training camp is going to be a really great experience, too.)
Tasuku:Oi, Director. Are you listening?
Izumi:Of course! Let’s give it a try.
【A3! Translation】 Golden Hathi (5/11)
(translation under the cut)
(glitch text ignore)
Inda: This is our main stage.
Azuma: Water is flowing all around us… it’s quite beautiful.
Hisoka: Everything’s sparkling.
Taichi: Woah~, this is stunning!*
Izumi: It’s so gorgeous…!
Inda: Of course. Curry shops are one thing, but we also wanted to make sure we had a spectacular stage for an equally spectacular performance.
Inda:The elephant centerpiece is especially exciting. It’s built so that, during the show, it moves around.
Misumi:Elephant-san moves, how amazing!
Tasuku:So this is the stage you’ll be using for your performance…
Izumi:We can see it tomorrow. We’ll make sure to get a good look during the performance.
Tasuku:That’s right.
Chikage: They’ve got a pretty unusually shaped stage.
Omi: Really? Stages with water features are pretty rare, but…
Tasuku: No, I was thinking the same thing.
Chikage:This plumbing… Could it be–.
Omi: Chikage-san, Tasuku-san, it looks like we’re leaving.
Tasuku:Right.
Chikage:…..
Inda:Here will be your accommodations during your stay.
Taichi: This is sick–! It looks super luxurious too!
Azuma: I’m surprised they already have a facility of this level prepared.
Hisoka:It’s spacious…
Izumi:Seriously… You’d think I wouldn’t be so shocked considering the gigantic scale of everything else we’ve seen here.
Inda: Actually, there was another theme park built here originally.
Inda:But when that business closed, the entire vacant lot was converted into an India-based theme park.
Inda: We still use some of the original facilities today since they were kept in good condition.
Omi: Is that so.
Chikage: I see.
Inda:The building we’re in now is one of them.
Tasuku:So the original place must’ve been pretty amazing too.
Inda:Starting tomorrow, I’d like to ask all of you to supervise the stage. Is that okay?
Izumi:Yes, of course.
Inda:Thank you so much.
Inda: I’m sure you’re tired from walking today, please get some rest.
Tasuku:Utsuki, did you really only bring that one carry-on bag? I wish I had less luggage.
Chikage: Really now?
Chikage: Even still, you seem to have quite a small amount.
Tasuku: ….I don’t have much stuff of my own. But some of these are….
*unzip*
Chikage: ….Several bags of marshmallows.
Tasuku:This should’ve been packed with Azuma-san’s things. I’ll have to hand them over when I get the chance.
Chikage: Jeez, that guy…
Tasuku:Well, I’m used to it now.
Chikage: That’s reassuring.
Chikage:Since both Tasuku and Omi are at the camp this time, we’ve got a lot of people to carry him when he falls asleep. That’ll be quite helpful.
Tasuku: You’re the one who brought him here, he’s your responsibility.
Chikage:This is supposed to be about cooperation.
Tasuku: ….Can we at least take turns, please.
Tasuku: (Alright, so the performance is described in the materials as… Then the standing performance will be…)
Tasuku:…..
Chikage:….When I heard there was a water feature, I wondered how it worked. Now that I can see the actual thing, it’s pretty easy to imagine.
Tasuku:Utsuki? So you came too.
Chikage:Just for a bit. I didn’t have time to look at the stage much earlier.
Chikage:Besides, after hearing what Inda-san said, I wanted to check out how this place was built again.
Tasuku: You wanted to learn about the stage’s construction? I’m sure you’ll be able to build a stage and all of its different contraptions sooner or later.
Chikage:Haha, I’m no match for Tetsuro-san.
Tasuku: Pfft, guess you’re right.
Chikage:…..What about you, Tasuku? Doing some preliminary checks for tomorrow?
Tasuku:Somewhat.
Chikage: Shall I join you?
Tasuku:….You brought the script with you?
Chikage:Where you were going, and what you were doing once you left the room… I could kind of guess.
Tasuku: ….That’s a really roundabout way of answering.
Chikage: Here, do you want me to or not?
Tasuku: Sigh…. Alright then, please do.

Taichi:This is the Indian film theme park, ‘Bollywood Studios’…!
Taichi:It looks just like that movie we watched the other day! Awesome!
Misumi:Look, look~ that building looks like a castle!
Tasuku:It’s a lot bigger and more authentic than I expected.
Izumi:It really is. Let’s see, studio…
Tasuku: By the way…
Hisoka:Yawn…
Tasuku:Why did he come.
Hisoka:Chikage forced me to join.
Chikage:We’re supposed to be giving them performance advice, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to have someone who can dance?
Hisoka:…This is definitely revenge for Easter.*
Chikage:I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Azuma:Now now, since we’re here, try to enjoy yourself too, Hisoka. Think of it like a trip.
Hisoka:…..Okay.
Tasuku: Like I said earlier, it’s not a–
Azuma:Maybe they sell Indian sweets, too. We can go look for them together.
Hisoka:….! I want to go. Indian sweets… I’m looking forward to them.
Tasuku:Sigh.
Omi: Oh well, it’s a theme park after all. Why don’t we just say that having fun is also part of the training camp.
Tasuku:…..So be it. You were also asked directly by Director, right, Fushimi? Was that okay?
Omi:Of course. This was a great opportunity, even at work people have been asking me if I needed some time off.
Tasuku:I hoped that was the case.
Misumi:Over there, and over here too! There’s so many different things to do here~.
Taichi:Oh! That! What’s that called again… Y'know the thing that looks like a cute little motorcycle… but like a car!
Chikage:Do you mean a tuk-tuk?*
Taichi:That’s it!
???:You can ride those throughout the theme park.
Izumi:Oh, hello.
Inda:Hello, and welcome. I’m Inda, the manager of Bollywood Studios.
Izumi: I’m Tachibana, MANKAI Company’s director. Thank you so much for this opportunity, we’re very grateful.
Troupe Members: Pleased to work with you.
Inda:Same to you all, let’s get to work.
Izumi:Yes, let’s.
-
Hisoka:There’s so many food stalls lined up…
Omi:Can you eat while walking? They sound good.
Azuma:There’s also a souvenir shop over there.
Taichi: And so many curry shops!
Inda: Some of our shows, souvenirs, and so on, are geared towards Japanese people….
Inda:As for the curry shops, some were actually opened by locals, others are more famous and popular, and there’s a few who are very particular about their cuisine.
India: I especially recommend that shop over there.
Inda:I stumbled upon it when I was looking for curry, and instantly fell in love after just one bite.
Inda:I asked them if they could possibly open up a shop in the theme park.
Chikage:Heh, if you talk it up that much, I’m curious to try it.
Izumi: I want to eat some too!
Omi:Haha, as expected of you two.
Tasuku:Fine, but you guys can do that after we’re done with everything.
Inda:Let’s move on to the next location.

【A3! Translation】 Golden Hathi (Training Camp Backstage)
Revenge Boys’ Night!
(translation under the cut)
(glitch text ignore)
Tenma: Come to think of it, how’d the training camp go?
Juza: At that Indian film theme park you guys supervised the stage performance for.
Tsuzuru: Director and Ikaruga-san said it felt like stepping into a movie once they saw the park’s cityscape.
Taichi:Yeah, totally! There was lots of different food stalls and attractions, so it was all super exciting!
Taichi:There’s so many things I wanna tell you guys about, the stage rehearsals, the discussions, the performance….
Taichi: Oh, right! That reminds me, I got revenge for that thing we tried, Tsuzuru-kun.
Tenma:Huh….?
Taichi: Good… Now that we’re all here…
Misumi:….Tactical meeting, commence~!
Omi: Is that really why you called us here…?
Taichi: Of course! That’s why I’ve arranged it in secret.
Taichi:I told you guys that I made the room assignments using a lottery app….
Taichi: But the truth is I actually thought about them long and hard!
Taichi: As revenge for the werewolf training camp, we’re gonna do~…. a surprise wake-up call!*
Misumi: Operation: Surprise Prank~.
Taichi:I’ve thought about last attempt, and our greatest opponent will be…. how to catch Chikage-san asleep in order to wake him up.
Omi:So, do you have any ideas?
Taichi: Last time, Tsuzuru-kun helped out with the prank.
Taichi: I think the sound of Tsuzuru-kun getting up and leaving the room is what woke Chikage-san.
Taichi:In other words, we just needed to room him with someone who doesn’t drag their feet when getting up!
Omi:Ah, so that’s why Tasuku-san and Chikage-san are in the same room…
Taichi: It’s not just them, don’t you wanna see Azuma-san get pranked too?
Misumi: Azuma’s being pranked~?
Omi:Come to think of it, our attempt to do a surprise wake-up call at the Autumn/Winter training camp also failed…*
Taichi: Right. That’s why we’re getting revenge for then, too!
Omi: Umm, is this going to work….?
Taichi:It’s trial and error. So first, let’s go to Hisoka-san and Azuma-san’s room!
Taichi: Sorry for the intrusion…
Hisoka: Snz… zz…
Taichi:Yes, Hisoka-san’s fast asleep!
Misumi:Huh~? But Azuma’s not here~?
Taichi:Wha-, I’m sensing a pattern…!
Azuma: Fufu, good morning. You’re up early, Puppy-kun.
Misumi:Wah! Azuma~!
Taichi: Gh… You’re awake…!
Omi:Good morning. You’re up pretty early, Azuma-san.
Azuma:Fufu, I wonder why. Something must have happened, I normally sleep well.
Taichi:Uguu, our revenge failed…!
Azuma: Now now, I can practically see your ears and tail sagging. It’s okay, Puppy-kun.
Misumi:Taichi, pet pet~.
Omi:Alright, then I’ll make you your favorite dish again, Taichi.
Taichi: I’m so comforted, everyone….
Hisoka:Zzz….
Taichi:All this fuss, and yet Hisoka-san’s still asleep.
Omi:He won’t be up until the sun rises.
Misumi: Hisoka, good night~. See you later, Azuma.
Azuma:Yeah. I hope you succeed.
Misumi:We failed~.
Taichi:Urgh, this sucks!
Omi:Doesn’t seem like we’re off to a very good start…
Taichi:We haven’t lost yet! I’m sure we’ll get it right next time! Off to Tasuku-san and Chikage-san’s room!
Omi:Well?
Tasuku:Zz… zz….
Chikage:…….
Taichi:Oh, they’re asleep. This is our chance…!
Misumi:They’re sleeping~.
Taichi: I’m sure Tasuku-san won’t wake up, Let’s start with Chikage-san.
Taichi:Ahem….
Taichi: CHIKAGE-SAAAN! IT’S MORNINGGGGG—!!
Misumi:GOOD MORNINGGG—!!
Chikage:Gh!?
Taichi: Yay! Operation: Surprise–.
Chikage:…Just kidding.
Taichi:Huh!?
Chikage:Earlier, when you went to Azuma-san and Hisoka’s room, the noise from that woke me up.
Taichi:Grrrrr…….
Omi:Haha, is that so.
Misumi:Disappointing~.
Taichi:Uu, we failed…
Tasuku:…..Oi.
Misumi: Oh, Tasuku~, good morning~.
Taichi: Huh!? T-Tasuku-san, you woke up!?
Tasuku:Nanao… Ikaruga… You two are so noisy…
Omi:Sorry to disturb you.
Tasuku: Even Fushimi… jeez. Whatever, it’s fine. I was planning on waking up around this time anyway.
Tasuku: But still, keep your pranks in moderation.
Taichi:Uwaa, I’m sorry~.
Tsuzuru:Uh, how exactly was that getting revenge against Chikage-san.
Tenma: That wasn’t what you said at all…
Taichi:‘Cause~, I was kinda frustrated, so I wanted to spill…
Juza:Azuma-san and Chikage-san are amazing…
Taichi: Yeah, but! I’m still gonna get my revenge someday!
Tenma:What the, why are you so mysteriously motivated.
Tsuzuru:He never learns. Good grief…

But of course, it’s only recommended. Without further ado, enjoy and bring your tissues y’all.
Banri: …
(Center stage, time’s almost up…)
(I can understand the value and importance of this place now more than when I first stood on this stage.)
(The time since I’ve arrived here at MANKAI Company…)
(The new Spring Troupe and Summer Troupe, and we, the Autumn Troupe, and the Winter Troupe have all piled into here.)
(I can’t just up and ruin what this theatre has grown and become.)
(—I want to continue to stand here.)
(Now I remember what’s at stake here, and I can be as honest as I can be.)
… Phew.
(The stage looks bigger when you’re alone.)
(But I’m not alone. Behind the audience is the rest of Mankai.)
(And Autumn and Director-chan are here between all the equipment… I couldn’t feel more supported.)
(There’s a live audience, but there’s even more behind the camera.)
… Let’s go.
(I can’t think of any better way to do this now, it’s time to show the world who I am.)
Chikage: 3, 2, 1—
~
Banri: —I’m Banri Settsu from MANKAI Company.
First of all, I’d like to apologize for making any fans feel uncomfortable by my actions.
When the next performance was announced, I caused a bit of an uproar, and I’m sorry.
But I didn’t decide to do this stream just to apologize.
There’s been rumors spreading around SNS and it’s muddling the truth.
In fact, there’ve been many people who’ve annoyed me in life and I regret what I’ve done. I want to apologize for that now too.
But that’s not all of who I am, and I don’t want Mankai’s reputation to be damaged because of a misunderstanding caused by someone like me.
Today, I wanted everyone to know about the person named “Banri Settsu”, so I decided to do it in this way.
Please, let me tell you about the past and future of my life.
I’m an actor, so what better way to express it than on a stage rather than at a press conference.
…
“My portrait—Banri Settsu.”
Banri Settsu used to be empty.
When I was young, I excelled at everything and people around me praised me for it.
In the beginning, I thought I just wanted the compliments from my family to keep rolling.But eventually, when my excelling became the norm, the praises came less and less.
Most of all, though, my feelings about things started to fall too, and eventually, everything I did bored me.While growing up in those circumstances, I started fighting in high school.
When I think back on it now, maybe I was a bit scared.
I wasn’t motivated by anything, so maybe I was scared to admit I was someone who was empty.That’s why I wanted something to rekindle me, even if it was just a bit, and fighting rougher dudes was the only solution I had at the time.
I didn’t think about how much I’d hurt someone. I was only looking for a driving force for myself.Thinking back on it now, I think I knew I was doing something stupid. I didn’t think about how much it’d affect the future though.
No, maybe I didn’t think at all. I think I was just desperate.One day, I came across a theater. It was a rather modest place, but after stepping into this theater, it was the first time my life took a turn I wasn’t expecting.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I’d lost, so I ran.But then I saw my friends perform on their own, and I thought to myself that it couldn’t end here, I wouldn’t accept this defeat.
“Be different from your past self”,
“Be proud to stand in the middle of the stage”,
“For your friends and yourself, make your dream come true for all of you”,
“Face that dream of yours head on, no more running”…Eventually, I came to think that trying to touch my friends’ feelings is the life I want to live.
I guess it sounds weird for those who were just trying their hardest.My personal experience of theater became a portrait of my friends.
From then on, my life changed, and I went to university to take acting seriously.My way of life changed so suddenly.
And watching someone else’s performance made me reflect on my life.In front of me, my friends lived life in real time, while I faked mine.
Before, if I were to see their desperation, I might’ve laughed at them.But then I realized that those actors were leagues better than I was, while I was just trying to run.
Maybe it’s ‘cause I didn’t want to face the fact that I wasn’t better than someone for the first time in my life.
I want to be myself and I can do anything, I couldn’t show my weaknesses to others… And I was sure that not allowing myself to show my weakness WAS my weakness.And it’s thanks to my friends, I realized it was a hundred times more likely to run away from your problems and I shouldn’t resort to that.
So, no matter how crappy I am, I don’t want to run from the stage again, I’ll do my damndest.
I want to perform a play that will change someone’s life, like how my friends’ performances changed the me who was once empty.I think that’s the coolest way I’d be able to live life, and it’s the reason why I want to stand on stage as an actor, and I plan on sticking with it.
I was against theatre, I messed up time and time again, I was stuck, I was shit at it.
But now I have friends who’ve shown me it’s okay to struggle.I want to stand on the stage of this theater, of this theatre company, with my friends.
Nothing else can replace it. I don’t care that it has to be theater.
All of the answers to my ultimate desire are right here.Even after all of my struggling, I want to perform to the best of my ability, and I want to be proud of myself, living this life.
That’s why I want to stand here.
Now, it’s the only thing on my mind.
I don’t want to let go of the answers to life that I’ve had.I want to act. Here in this place, forever. Even now, and long after—!
Banri: But—
…
Banri: Haha, in the end, I’m just me…
Banri: For the first time in my life, I can feel my heart tighten.
Even though my emotions were all based around others… this is who I am.
This is all of me now… Thank you.
~
Izumi: I’m proud of you, Banri-kun.
Tasuku: You did good.
Yuki: Isn’t this the first time you’re so honest?
Tenma: All of Banri-san was laid out.
Kumon: Even though you stumbled, you still got back up, how cool, Banri!
Muku: I’m sure everyone has an understanding now!
Misumi: Good job, Banri!
Homare: What an incredibly moving portrait!
Tsumugi: It’s a portrait only he can do.
Itaru: Uwa, we’re the same.
Manager: The stream has been stopped now!
Taichi: Ban-chan!!
Banri: Urk.
Omi: Well done.
Sakyo: Good job, Leader.
Banri: Oi, don’t pat my head!
Azami: I’m glad you cried at the end. You would’ve ruined your makeup.
Juza: It sucked.
Banri: Shut up!
Juza: … But, it was cool.
Banri: I said shut up.
Izumi: (I’m glad Banri-kun has his friends now.)
(I’m glad Autumn was able to meet and accept each other for who they are.)

Yuki accepts a part-time job offer, while it appears Muku has his fair share of worries too.
Yuki: Is this the last one?
Azami:Yep.
Yuki: God. I’m tired…
Azami: We managed it, somehow…
Yuki: It was as hectic as before, huh.
Izumi: Good job, both of you!
Banri: Here, have some snacks.
Student: Huh? Model shouldn’t be here.
Banri: I’m not modeling this time.
Student: Boo, you should have~.
Banri:Next time.
Student: Both of you, thank you so much. You saved us big time. It must have been tiring, right?
Yuki: Well, yeah, but we pretty much knew what to do this time.
Azami: It went better than before.
Student: How reliable of you. Just as I expected, despite your age, you have what it takes to be in charge of the costumes and makeup for MANKAI Company.
???: What? The two of you are in charge of MANKAI Company’s costumes and makeup?
Yuki:That’s right…
???: I watched your shows several times. Both the costumes and makeup are really good!
I never imagined the people in charge to be this young.
Yuki: Thank you.
Azami: Appreciated it.
Hato: My name is Hato, an Amabi alumnus. I work as a designer now.
I’m currently looking for an assistant to fill up a vacancy.
Because you have experiences as wardrobe coordinator, do you want to take the spot and help me? If you’re interested, that is.
You can think of it as a part-time job…
Azami: I’m feeling dejavu for some reason.
Kazunari: But you were the one that got scouted last time, right, Azamin?
Hato: We’re greatly understaffed right now.
Azami:Isn’t that great, Yuki-san? Last time, you told me it’d be a waste not to accept the offer.
Yuki: Well, you have a point…
Izumi: We still have time until the upcoming play. It’ll be a nice experience for you.
Banri: By the way, does your school allow part-time jobs?
Yuki: It won’t be a problem as long as we tell them beforehand.
Hato: What’s your call?
Yuki: …I’ll do it.
Hato: Thank you. I appreciate it.
I’ll tell you the details via phone later. Err, can I get your phone number…
Omi:How was the fashion show today?
Azami: It went better than last time.
Kazunari: Both Yukki and Azamin did very well~.
Yuki: By the way, I took a part-time job.
It’ll overlap with our show a little bit, but I’m allowed to work a flexible schedule, and I can use the workshop to make the costumes.
Misumi: Heh~. Good for you!
Izumi: It’ll be easier for you to make the costumes if you have a spacious workshop.
Tenma: Will you be okay, though? We still haven’t fully decided on the show’s content.
Yuki: I’ll think about that very thoroughly.
Omi: Huh? By the way, where’s Muku? Kumon isn’t here as well.
Kazunari: Both of them went home.
Yuki: (Now that I think about it, they did talk about it before.)
Kumon: Delish! I love your cooking, auntie!
Muku’s Mom: Eat up as much as you want. We have puddings for dessert.
Kumon:Yeay!
Muku:Too bad Juchan isn’t here with us…
Kumon: I know, right. He said he’s busy with uni tasks.
Muku’s Mom: Speaking of which, you’re already in your senior year, right, Kumon-kun? Have you decided on your career path?
Kumon: I’m actually aiming for admission by recommendation. I’ll submit the documents soon.
Muku: What?! Really?!
Kumon: I still don’t know if I’ll pass the selection. Keep it a secret from everyone, okay?
So you see, the other day, I was checking the documents until Yuki suddenly came. I got a little bit panicked… Because I haven’t told anyone about this.
Oh! I sort of discussed this with Tsumugi-san, though, since he’s been helping me study.
Muku: I believe you’ll do just fine, Kyuchan. After all, your grades are getting better these days.
Muku’s Mom: You’re also planning to go to university, right, Muku? That’s what you wrote in your career survey.
Kumon: Is that so?!
Muku: Yep… I still don’t know which school and which department I want to go to, though…
Kumon: But you’re smart, Muku. I’m sure there’s a lot of universities you can choose from.
Muku’s Mom: And you’re also doing theater. It’ll be a plus point in your school report.
If you’re planning to go back to track-and-field, maybe you can choose a university with a great track-and-field club.
Muku:…
Muku’s Mom: You’re free to do what you want to do, Muku.
Muku: Yep… Thank you.
Kumon:…
A3! Translation: Muku Sakisaka’s SSR [Wonderfloof Smile] - Favorite Leash
Mankai Company is taking care of Muku’s relative’s dog, Moka, as her owner is away for an urgent matter. However, an incident occurs during her stay…
???:Woof!
Izumi: …With that being said, we’ll be taking care of Muku-kun’s relative’s dog, Moka-chan, for a few days here.
Moka:Woof woof!
Juza: Hey, you’re not supposed to eat that.
Banri:Don’t drop your snacks, Hyodo.
Juza: It wasn’t me.
Omi: We have to make sure there’s no dangerous things on the floor.
Tenma:This is kinda out of nowhere, though, if I must say.
Muku: So you see, my relative has to go back to their hometown due to an urgent matter…
Neither my family nor Juchan’s are always at home, so I figured it’d be better to keep her here.
Kumon: Moka tends to whine when there’s no one around.
Misumi: I see, so she’s the type who gets lonely easily~.
Izumi:It’s not like this is our first time taking care of a dog, so we should be fine, I guess.
Kazunari:I don’t have any complaints, of course! Moka-cchi is cute, after all!
Yuki:She’s so fluffy.
Moka:Woof woof!
Kamekichi: Tch, you’re not going to take over my territory, you heard me?!
Moka:!!
Muku: Oh, Moka!
Moka: Woof woof!
Kamekichi: Don’t come closer! You want a piece of me?!
Misumi:Looks like Moka wants to get close to Kamekichi~.
Muku:Moka, wait!
Omi:Whoa. She’s fast.
Tenma: I can’t catch her!
Misumi: Stop right there, stop right there~.
Moka: Arf arf arf!
Yuki:Look, she’s getting happier the more you chase her around. Isn’t it better not to do that?
Kamekichi: Go over there, dammit!
Juza: She went there!
Kumon:Leave it to me!
Kazunari:Caught you!
Moka:Woof!
Tenma: How could she be that mischievous?
Muku:As you can see, she’s quite the lively kid. I’m afraid she will cause trouble to you all…
Itaru:Since senpai isn’t on a business trip right now, I guess the timing’s kinda perfect.
Citron:I love dogs!
Juza:Thank you.

Kumon:Hey, don’t pull it!
Izumi:Morning.
Kumon:Morning!
Izumi: Taking her for a walk?
Kumon:Yep!
Moka:Arf arf!
Izumi:She’s so energetic today.
Muku: Do you want to join us?
Izumi:Sure. I plan to go shopping after this, anyway.
Kumon:We’ll help carry your luggage, then!
Izumi:Thanks.

Moka:Woof woof!
Izumi: Moka-chan loves going out, huh.
Muku:But she tends to run away somewhere once we release her leash, so going back home is never an easy task.
Moka:!!
Muku:Moka?
Moka:Woof woof!
Muku: H-Hey, wait!
Izumi:It’s hard to believe she can drag Muku-kun around with that small body.
Kumon: Did she find something?
Moka:Woof!
Kumon: What’s that?
Izumi: A bangle?
Muku:You can’t just pick up something you find on the road.
Izumi: I guess she loves shiny things. It has a lot of rhinestones, after all.
Kumon: It looks like a treasure.
Moka:Woof!
Muku:Hey, wait. What is it now?
Moka:Arf arf!
Muku:The leash is about to tear off…!
Kumon:Whaat?!
Izumi:Moka-chan is fast. We won’t be able to chase her if that happens…!
Muku:Moka, don’t pull so hard!
Kumon: Aaah~ I’m beat.
Misumi: I’m starving~!
Kazunari: What’s for dinner today?
Moka:Arf!
Muku:Whoa.
Kazunari: I guess she likes you, Mukkun. She sure can tell which one is kind, huh.
Muku: I don’t think that’s the case… Maybe it’s because I took her for a walk earlier.
Kumon: But she never came to me~.
Moka: Woof woof!
Muku: Hm? What? The table?
Misumi: Looks like she wants the meal~.
Izumi:But Omi-kun just gave her some snacks.
Moka: Arf arf!
Tenma: Don’t think you can get whatever you want by doing that. Life isn’t that easy.
Yuki: Did you really just… seriously scold a dog?
Moka:Yip…
Tenma: …I guess one is fine, then.
Kazunari: Tenten, you’re the one spoiling her the most!
Moka:Arf!
Yuki:Look how happy she is now. Such a rapid mood changes.
Kumon: I guess even dogs have personalities!
Kazunari:She’s a spoiled kid~.
Misumi: Let’s have our meals, woof!
Kumon: I’m hungry, arf!
Kazunari: Woof, woof! I’m starving~!
Tenma:Why are you guys turning into dogs?!
Kazunari:At the end of the day, this is the best way to understand a dog’s feeling! Woof!
Yuki: I’m getting a war flashback after seeing this.
*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀
Moka:Woof woof!
Muku: Alright, alright. I’ll go get ready now.
Izumi:Going for a walk?
Muku:Yes.
Izumi:Before we know it, you end up being in charge of taking her for a walk. Are you okay with that, though?
Muku:It’s fine. I’m supposed to take care of her in the first place, anyway.
Moka: Arf arf!
Muku: Oh, right. Sorry. Let’s go.
Izumi: Hey, now. The leash will get entangled if you keep running around like that.
Muku:Okay, all done.
Moka:Woof woof!
Muku: No need to pull me like that. I'll…
*tearing sounds*
Muku:?!
Izumi: Oh no, the leash is…!
Muku: It’s torn!
Moka:???
*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀
Moka: …
Juza:Here, your snacks.
Muku: I’ll buy a new leash tomorrow. Let’s save our walk after that, ‘kay?
Moka:…
Yuki:She seems down.
Tenma: She turns into a totally different person.
Kazunari: You mean, different dog?
Misumi: I heard the leash is torn~?
Kumon: My uncle told me he’s been thinking of changing that leash because it’s old. Moka had that ever since she was a resident dog.
But it looks like Moka likes that leash so much she doesn’t want to go on a walk with other leashes.
Izumi: I see…
Muku: It’s all my fault… If only I didn’t let her pull me that hard it wouldn’t get torn off…
Izumi: It’s not like it’s your fault, Muku-kun. That leash is already old. Even the owner would break it sooner or later.
Kumon: I don’t think we can change it if she looks this dejected.
Muku: I’m planning to find the same leash tomorrow. Will she like it, though…
Tenma: I figured she has some sort of attachment towards its scent too, not just its appearance
Kazunari: Hmmm, that’s tough, huh… I hope we can find something that she’ll like.
Muku:Oh. Now that I think about it…
Can I ask you something, Yuki-kun?
Yuki: What is it?
Yuki: I’m done with this part.
Muku: Me too… and done!
Izumi:?
What are you guys doing?
Muku: We made this.
Izumi:Whoa. Is that Moka-chan’s leash? It’s so sparkly and cute!
Yuki:We took a part of her old leash and remade it.
We only used that part as a decoration since it wasn’t strong enough, but the smell is still there. Great, right?
Muku:Moka likes sparkly things, right? I kind of remember it when I recalled our previous outing.
Izumi: Oh, you’re right. In that case, there’s a chance Moka will like this.

Moka:…
Muku: …Moka?
Moka: !!
Woof woof!
Muku: I got you a new leash. Do you like it?
Moka: Woof woof! Woof woof!
Izumi: Looks like she likes it.
Muku: I’m glad…!
Moka: Arf!
Muku: It’s already dark outside, so let’s go on a walk tomorrow, 'kay?
Izumi: It seems like she’s more than ready to go out, though.
Yuki: I guess it’s all settled now.
*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀
Moka:Woof woof woof!
Misumi: Wait there~!
Kumon: Huff… Huff… So fast!
Muku: It’s amazing how she doesn’t get tired and keeps running fast.
Yuki:Triangle Alien is the only one who can chase her around.
Izumi: But more than anything, it’s a good thing she’s back to her energetic self.
Tenma: Too energetic, I’d say.
Kazunari: Moka-cchi~! I’ll throw this~!
Moka:Woof!
Kumon: Nice catch!
Kazunari: Good girl~.
Moka:Arf!
Kazunari:Do you want me to throw it again?
Tenma: I can’t believe she still has energy after running that much.
Misumi: Alri~ght. Moka, let’s play more~!
Muku: Let’s play tag!
Moka:Woof!
Misumi:Let’s go~!
Muku: Wait for us~!
Moka:Woof woof!
Kumon: I’m in!
Kazunari: I also won’t lose!
Tenma: Hey, you’re still running?
Yuki: So you’re saying you can’t run anymore?
Tenma: I’ve never said that!
Misumi: Hahaha! Anyone who can catch up to her is the winner!
Izumi: Moka-chan aside, you guys sure have amazing stamina…!
*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀
Moka: Arf arf!
Muku: We’ll send Moka back.
Kamekichi: Hmph! Just go home now!
Moka: Woof woof!
Kamekichi:Whoa?! That’s dangerous, you know!
Kumon: Hey, if you don’t get in the cage…
Tenma: So full of energy.
Kazunari: Come again and play with us next time~. You’re always welcome here!
Misumi: Let’s play tag again~.
Yuki:It’s not like we won’t be able to meet her again. Her owner is Muku’s relative.
Muku: You have a point.
Moka:Woof!
*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀*⋆*❀❁❀
Kumon: I’m digging in!
Juza: Moka’s snack… oh, right. She’s not here anymore.
Kazunari: We end up looking for her~.
Izumi: It’s getting a little bit lonely.
*phone notification sounds*
Muku:?
Oh, Moka’s photo.
Moka’s Owner: “Thanks for the leash. It looks like Moka really likes it.”
Misumi: Moka looks happy in the pic.
Tenma:It’s surprising to know that a dog can be so expressive.
Yuki: It made all the effort worthwhile.
Izumi: Isn’t that great, Muku-kun?
Muku:Yes!
With Muku finally deciding what he wanted to do, both him and Juza tried to make up after their fight.
Izumi:I see…
Muku: I’m sorry for keeping quiet about this. I just found it hard to tell you I’m returning to track and field when we’re rehearsing for the play.
Izumi: It’s alright.
Muku: I’m sure Juchan said those things because he’s also worried about me.
He said it’s not good to do things half heartedly when I’m going to lead our upcoming play, something that has a lot of pressures.
Izumi: Yes… He’s worried about you. I can assure that.
Muku: This manga is my starting point.
Izumi: The one you just read?
Muku:Yes.
–
Muku:Haah. Haah.
Track and Field Club Member A: Awesome, Sakisaka! You just scored a new record!
Muku:Seriously!?
Track and Field Club Member B: You’re so gonna win the next race at this rate!
Track and Field Club Member C: We’re counting on you, Ace!
Muku: Yep!
(I want to be like Kisaragi-kun someday. I want to win a race as the Ace of my club. If that wish comes true, I’m sure…)
–
Muku: I was recalling the past while reading this manga…
In the end, even for once, I want to try giving all I’ve got to track and field again, just like before.
I was shocked when Juchan said not to do things with a half-hearted feeling. It was as if he saw right through me.
But thanks to that, I’ve come to realize my own feelings.
I want to join track and field again seriously, not with a half-hearted feeling.
That’s why I shouldn’t hesitate. I have to do what I should do with all my might.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to put aside our upcoming performance. King is an important role to me.
I’m still going to show the audience a great King with all my heart.
I regretted wasting our rehearsal time when I was still at a loss not knowing what to do.
But from tomorrow onwards, I’m going to devote myself to rehearsal and aim to show the King that only I can perform.
And I want to see how far I can go in track and field.
Izumi: (He looks so happy now that he has set his determination.)
I will support you.
Muku:Thank you!
Juza:…
Kazunari:Hm? Hey, Hyodle, whatchu doin’ there?
Juza:…Nothing.
Kazunari:…
Yuki: …So? Has nothing changed? He’s still as gloomy as yesterday?
Kazunari: Hmm… I guess, yeah.
We’ve got no choice but to summon our last weapon now!
–
Juza’s Mom: How’s your foot?
I see… It’s hard to believe something like this happened during this time…
Yes… You’re always welcome here. We don’t mind.
Get well soon, Muku-chan.
Juza: …What’s wrong with Muku?
Juza’s Mom: He’s injured.
He’s a little bit down now because we don’t know if he can continue track and field after this.
It must be quite hard on him given how much he’s been doing his best…
Juza:…
Juza: …
Omi: …Za, Juza.
Juza:–.
Omi: Are you okay?
Juza: Yea.
Omi:Your upcoming play is approaching real soon, right.
I’ve done tending my bike. Should I prepare some scones for you? I’ll go ahead.
Juza: Thank you.
…
Kumon:Oh, nii-chan! There you are!
Juza: ?
Kumon:You don’t have rehearsal today, right? Let’s go play catch ball!
Kumon: I’m throwing the ball~!
Juza: –.
Kumon:Nice.
Juza: Ugh. That’s pretty tough.
Kumon: Hehe!
Playing catch ball with you sure is fun!
Juza:Agreed.
Kumon:Nii-chan, something happened between you and Muku, right? Both of you seem weird these days, even Kazu-san and Yuki-san are worried.
Juza: Muku wanted to go back to track and field.
But I ended up being harsh on him since he was kinda lost about it. I must have hurted his feelings.
Kumon:Oh~…
Nii-chan, you know when Muku first joined track and field, right?
Juza:Yea.
Kumon: Muku often talked about “Your Goal Line” with a big smile on his face at that time.
He said he wanted to go to the place mentioned in that manga.
I know how important track and field to him because I also did baseball.
Theater is also important to me in a different sense.
Juza: …You’re right.
Kumon: You’re also worried about him, right, Nii-chan? Try talking to him again, but a lil bit more deliberately.
I hope you two can make up.
Juza: …
Muku:…
(…I haven’t told Juchan I’ve made up my mind.)
Oh. Come in!
Juza:Muku.
Muku:Juchan?
Juza: Do you have time after this?
Muku: Y-Yeah. I think I’m free…
Juza: Let’s go out.
Muku:What?
Juza: We’re here
Muku: This is the “Your Goal Line”…
Juza: You’ve always wanted to come here, right?
Muku: …So you know.
Juza: Kumon told me.
Muku: I see.
Juza: I’m sorry for what I said last time.
Muku: No, it’s okay! You don’t need to apologize!
Juza: …Will you hear what I want to say?
Hello! Sorry this took so long since I got a translation burnt out halfway through and had to take a break. Since the next play (screams juza and muku play) is coming soon, I guess I wanted to finish this one before moving on to the upcoming event! (It was something I’ve been hoping for during my four years of playing the game so I’m so excited about it!!)
Also, I decided to post them on wiki because posting each chapter on tumblr at once felt so mendokusai to me (I’m so sorry for my lazy ass….) Anyway! I hope you enjoy them and I’ll be back with the phantom thief story!!

Itaru asked his fellow theater troupe members whether they could accept his company’s Valentine’s Day event request.
Itaru: …With that said, thanks for making the time to be here on a short notice, guys.
Tenma: So it was you who called us, Itaru-san?
Banri: Here I thought Director-chan would bring us another paper bag filled with aprons, judging by the time and all.
Izumi: (Now that he mentioned it, the Actor’s Cafe owner has yet to call me this year.)
Itaru:We’ve got a request from my company, but it’ll probably overlap with the Actor’s Cafe event–if they hold one this year, that is.
Itaru: …So I figured he’d come to me first when he needs help from some theater troupe.
Oh, and the organizers would like seven people to participate in this.
While the event will last until the end of the Valentine’s period, the onstage show will only be held on the first day of the event.
Omi: In that case, I think we’ll be fine even if the Actor’s Cafe is gonna open this year.
Tsuzuru:Yeah.
*phone rings*
Izumi: Oh, sorry. I’ve got a call.
It’s the Actor’s Cafe owner!
Sakyo: Speak of the devil.
Izumi: I’ll answer the call for now.
*beep*
Izumi:Hello.
Owner: “Hello. Good evening.”
Izumi: Good evening. It’s been a while.
Owner: “I wanted to talk about the Actor’s Cafe…”
“To tell you the truth, I have another issue to take care of right now, so I decided not to open the cafe this year.”
Izumi: Oh, okay.
Owner: “My apologies. I assumed it’d be better to tell you this since I always ask you every year.”
Izumi: It’s alright. Thank you for taking the time to tell me this.
Owner: “I hope we can work together when another opportunity comes again. I’m hanging up.”
Izumi: Sure. I hope so too.
Azuma: What did he say?
Izumi: He said he wouldn’t be opening the Actor’s Cafe this year due to another matter.
Guy: I see.
Tasuku: For some reason that cafe gives off the image of a place that’s always gets caught in trouble every year.
I guess it’s a relief that nothing happened this year. It seems.
Tsumugi: Hahaha… You have a point.
Izumi: Putting that aside, we can accept your company’s request, Itaru-san.
Sakyo: Yeah. Let’s decide on the members next, then.
Izumi: They wanted seven people, right?
Itaru: Yep. Including me, we need six more people. By the way, the onstage show will be held on this day.
Izumi: Is there anyone who’d like to join?
Muku: M-Me! I want to join!
Azuma: Should I join too? Delivering a play related to perfumes sounds like fun.
Tsumugi: As much as I wanted to participate, I have a plan on that day…
Misumi: Me! I’m free on that day so I wanna give it a try~!
Izumi: So the participants will be Muku-kun, Masumi-kun, Misumi-kun, Omi-kun, Sakyo-san and Azuma-san.
Sakyo: Yea.
Masumi: Got it.
Omi:I’ll do my best.
Itaru: Thanks, y'all. Look forward to working with you.
Muku: It should be around here…
Kazunari: Looking for some manga, Mukkun?
Muku: Yeah. Since I’ll be helping out Itaru-san, I figured I’ll go reread my perfume-themed shoujo manga.
Kazunari: What a good boy!
Muku: Ehehe. While I’m interested in perfumes since they look pretty, I’m not really knowledgeable about it.
Kazunari:How about asking someone that seems knowledgeable about it, then?
Muku: Someone that seems knowledgeable about it… Oh!
