T/N: There are a few pictures I added, but still not the typical amount that I do. Also, this may not hit as hard if you’re reading this without knowing what led up to this, so I recommend knowing the lead up to this before reading ep 31 and this one. 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.)
【A3! Translation】 Sumeragi Tenma SSR: MANKAI Encore (1/3)
gonna start working on the tenma backlogs while i have free time in-between event work ♂️
(translation under the cut)
Encore: Alibaba
Tenma:KYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Misumi:GO, GO, Papyrus~!
Papyrus:Urg~~.*
Tenma:Stop encouraging him!
Tenma:Jeez, how do you even ride a camel? Why is this so hard…
*papyrus speeds up*
Papyrus:Urg, uurghh~~~!
Tenma:UWAAHHHH!!!!
Misumi:Ahaha~!
Yuki:What the heck are they doing…
Muku:Wow, Misumi-san and Tenma-kun’s camel sure is energetic.
Yuki:I’m glad ours is pretty tame.
Staff: Ah no, this is actually the first time I’ve ever seen Papyrus so lively! It’s incredible.
Izumi:Should we stop them? Tenma-kun looks like he’s about to fall off…
Kazunari: But, doesn’t Papy-chan looks like he’s having fun?
Kumon: Yeah! Loads of fun!
Kumon:I don’t know how camels feel, but.. it always feels good to run at full speed!
Izumi: I wonder if this is going to be a problem…
Kumon:Huh, did Tenma-san stop screaming?
Izumi:Now that you mention it…
Muku: Has he gotten used to it?
Kazunari:As expected of Tenten!
Yuki:Ah.
*tenma slumps down*
Tenma:Uguu….
Izumi:Tenma-kun!?
Kazunari:Uh oh…
Yuki:He’s exhausted.
Kumon:Sumi-san! Tenma-san!?
Muku:Misumi-san–!
Izumi:I don’t think he can hear us…
Kazunari: I know! I bought this at the souvenir shop earlier…
Kazunari: Tah-dah~! A triangle snow globe~!
Misumi:Oh! Triangle~! *runs back*
Tenma: That… sucked…
*kumon and kazunari get on papyrus*
Kumon:Woah! This camel runs so fast!
Kazunari: Talk about charging! I’ll take a vid and post it on inste ☆
Tenma:I don’t know how those two can enjoy riding so much…
Izumi:Haha, riding with Misumi-kun was probably a bad idea.
Tenma:Jeez, after spending all my energy here, who knows if I can make it through the day after tomorrow.
Izumi:Well, it’ll be our first regional performance in a while. I’m sure the audience will be a little forgiving.
Tenma:It has been a long time, so we’ll probably have to make some extra adjustments, huh.
Tenma:Now that we’ve got Kumon, it’ll be our first time performing this with six people. We’ll need to adjust our standing positions and entrance timings….
Izumi:…..
Tenma:What?
Izumi: …Could it be that, you’re nervous, Tenma-kun?
Tenma: H-Huh!? Of course not!
Izumi:Really now?
Tenma:…..
Izumi:Alright, that wraps us up for today.
Kazunari: Hahh~, Tenten’s more of a spartan than ever…
Kumon: I’m pooped….
Tenma: It’s because we wasted too much time yesterday.
Kazunari:Well then, I think I’m gonna hit the hot springs to heal my aches~♪
Kumon:Hot springs!? I wanna get in too!
Muku:Yeah!
Kumon:After the hot springs, we can drink some coffee milk~, oh, and I wanna have a ping-pong tournament with everyone!
Misumi:Sounds like fun~!
Yuki:What’s the point of going to the hot springs if we’re just going to do something so tiring after….
Izumi:Hm? Don’t you want to go too, Tenma-kun?
Tenma: I’ll pass. Though actually, Director, I have a small favor to ask…
Izumi:A favor?
Tenma:I’d like permission to stay and use this place a little more.
Izumi:That’s no problem, but…
Tenma: I’ll leave at closing time.
Izumi: Alright. But you’re not allowed to overdo it.
Tenma:Got it.
Yuki:…..
*how do you describe camel noises. i sure as hell don’t know

᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
Yuki: Hey. Can you use this sound for the play?
Rento:Sound?
Koro: “Woof woof woof!”
Rento: Heh. Nice one.
Yuki: Is it possible?
Rento: Why not? It’s a real doggie sound, after all. But you’re gonna lose if you don’t do your best in that part, y'kno!
Yuki: Do you know who you’re talking to now?
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃

Koro: “Rick! Going on a stroll is so much fun, right!”
Rick: “Koro, to tell you the truth, I’m going to get married soon.”
“My partner also owns a dog, you see. Since we’re going to live together, you have to get along with her dog, alright? Oh, look. They’re here.”
Sharon: “Hello, Koro-kun. Nice to meet you.”
Maru: “Hello, I’m Maru! Nice to meet you! Let’s be friends!”
Koro:“Whoa?!”
Sharon: “Hey, Maru! Don’t get too excited! You’re just going to bother Koro-kun that way!”
Rick: “Hahaha. Koro is quite timid.”
Koro: “The heck is wrong with you?! Keep your distance!”
Maru: “This much is nothing, right! We’re going to be brothers, anyway!”
Koro: “Get away from me! Do you think I want to get along with you? Hell no!”
Maru: “Don’t be like that. Let’s play together!”
“Should we play-fight? Or chase? I’m fine with hole digging too!”
Koro: “What’s hole digging?”
Maru: “Basically, we’re digging a hole with all our might!”
Koro: “No way I’m doing that! Why did Rick decide to get married, anyway!”
Rig: “It’s okay, Koro. You’ll get used to it.”
Koro: “No! I don’t want to live with other people!”
Izumi: (Both of them are so full of energy. They do seem like cute puppies!)
Rick: “Are you alright, Koro? Did you get tired from playing with Maru?”
Koro: “…What play? He just chased me around. If I live with someone like that, I’m only going to get sick from stress.”
Rick: “Hm? Weird… I’m sure I put my engagement ring here. Where is it?”
Koro: “What’s wrong?”
Rick:“No way. Did I drop it? Oh no… It’s such an important thing and yet…”
Koro: “Engagement ring…? Is it really that important?”
Rick: “Koro, are you trying to cheer me up? Thank you.”
“But this is bad… What should I do? Let’s call Sharon for now.”
Koro: “Cheer up. I’m going to go look for it.”
Rick: “Hey, Sharon…? Yeah…”

Koro: “I can’t smell anything more from here…”
Maru: “Sniffs, sniffs. Is it around here~?”
Koro: “Oh! You're…”
Maru: “Oh! Koro! What are you doing here?”
Koro: “It’s none of your business.”
Maru: “Do you happen to see a wing around here? It’s an important wing. I think it’s dropped around here.”
Koro: “Wing? There’s no way I saw such a thing here.”
Maru: “Oh no… Apparently, that wing is important to both Sharon and Rick.”
Koro: “Do you mean, engagement ring?”
Maru:“That’s right! Engagement wing! Are you looking for that too? Let’s search for it together!”
Koro: “…Listen, we’re only together to find the ring. Don’t you dare act more familiar than–.”
Maru: “Whoa… Thank God! I get a little bit anxious doing it alone! It’s a relief to have you here!”
“I have a feeling we can find the ring if we do it together! Huh, what did you just say, Koro?”
Koro: “Shut up! Stop talking and start searching already!”
Muku: “Okay!”
Rio: “Hey, Koro, what are you doing here alone?”
Chacha: “Going on a stroll? Is that kid your friend?”
Maru: “Hello! I’m Maru! Kuro and I will be brothers soon!”
Rio:“Brothers?”
Koro: “We’re not! Enough of that. Rio, Chacha, you often go on a walk in this course, right? Do you happen to find a ring around here?”
Rio: “A ring?”
Female: “KYAA! A THIEF!!!”
Maru:“Huh? Huh? What’s happening?”
Gangster:“Move!”
Chacha:“Arf!”
Rio:“Chacha! You okay?!”
Koro:“That smell just now… Hey, I’m gonna chase after that guy!”
Maru: “What? Hey, wait for me~!”
Rio: “I’m going with you! Wait here, Chacha!”
Chacha: “Yip…”

Koro: “Woof woof woof!”
Gangster: “What the heck is this dog’s problem?!”
Rio: “What did you do to Chacha, you thief?!”
Maru:“I don’t really know what’s going on, but you can’t do bad things!”
Koro: “You have the ring, don’t you?! Show it!”
Rio:“You stole that bag, didn’t you?! Give it back! Bark bark!”
Gangster:“Tch.”
*starts engine*
Koro: “Hey, wait!”
Maru:“Koro, he’s riding a bike. You can’t catch up to him.”
Koro: “Damn… I can smell the ring’s scent from him!”
Female: “Oh! My bag! Did you guys take it back for me?”
Rio: “It’s my job to protect the townspeople!”
Female: “Thank you.”
Maru:“Are you a police officer, Rio?”
Koro: “His owner is one.”
Chacha: “Rio~ Are you okay~?”
Rio: “The thief escaped, but we managed to take back the stolen bag.”
“How about you, Chacha? How are you feeling now?”
Chacha:“I’m fine! I just tripped a little bit, after all.”
Maru: “That’s great.”
Koro: “We were so close…”
Rio: “Hey, Koro, what do you mean by, ‘That guy has the ring,’?”
Koro: “Rick’s engagement ring is stolen.”
“Rick told me he dropped it somewhere, but I have no doubt that guy stole it. The smell can’t lie!”
Rio: “I see, so he committed another crime. We should chase after him, then.”
Maru: “Are you going to help us?!”
Chacha:“Of course! It’s our job to protect the townspeople!”
Rio:“Yeah. Okay, enough chit chat. We should go and gather info right away–.”
Jack: “Hey! Rio! Chacha! I’ve told you not to exit the park!”
Chacha:“Yip…”
Rio: “No, wait, Jack, we’re just protecting pe–.”
Jack: “C'mon, we’re going home now.”
Chacha:“Huh~What~.”
Rio: “My bad! We have to investigate it ourselves now! I’ll leave the search to you guys!”
Maru: “I’m counting on you~!”
Koro: “…This is bad. We can’t pursue him anymore the farther we are from the ring.”
Maru: “Oh! I remember that guy’s smell! Over here!”
Koro: “Heh, you’re surprisingly useful.”
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
Izumi: (Their interaction is very Summer Troupe-like, and the characters are really cute. Not only Muku-kun and Yuki-kun, but the others are also in sync.)
Rento: (The dogs’ barking sound fits perfectly!)
Maru: “He should be around here…”
Koro: “Huh? That’s his bike!”
Maru: “You remember that?!”
Koro:“It hasn’t been that long since we saw it, duh.”
Maru:“Everything that humans ride looks the same to me.”
Koro: “I’ll take back my words…”
Maru: “'Take back my forks?’”
Koro: “Forget it. Anyway, that’s him. He entered that building.”
Maru: “Koro, wait for me!”

Mafia: “Is this all you got?”
Gangster: “My apologies. I ran into some troubles.”
Maru: “That ring!”
Koro: “Hold on! He’s not alone.”
Maru: “But the ring is right in front of us.”
Koro: “Let’s wait until the others are gone.”
Maru: “I see!”
Koro: “Sssh! You’re being noisy.”
Guard Dog: “Grrrr… Who are y'all?”
Maru:“Whoa?!”
Guard Dog: “Woof woof woof!”
Mafia: “What is it?”
Koro: “I don’t know they have a guard dog! Let’s run away!”
Gangster: “Looks like some stray dogs accidentally got here.”

Guard Dog: “Stop right there! You broke into our territory! I’m going to tear you limb from limb!”
Maru:“Eeeek!”
Koro: “Quick!”
Ray:“Hey. Over here.”
Koro:“?!”
Ruy: “Don’t ask anything and just hide here.”
Guard Dog: “Tch. I lost sight of them. Don’t fool around with me.”
Maru: “That was so scary~!!”
Ruy:“Are you alright?”
Ray: “What did you do to make him chase after you like that?”
Koro:“You are…?”
Ruy:“My name is Ruy.”
Ray:“I’m Ray. We’re pretty much the mascots of this bar.”
Koro: “I’m Koro, and this one is Maru. Our owners’ engagement ring is stolen, you see.”
Ray: “Oh. His owner is a mafia, you know.”
Maru: “We want to take back the ring!”
Ray: “Hey, dude, have you seen his fangs? He can eat you up in a single bite!”
Koro:“Do you have any idea how we can sneak in without being noticed by him?”
Ray: “Are you serious now?”
Koro: “It’s an important ring, after all.”
Ruy: “Let’s help them out, Ruy.”
Ray: “Sighs, You’ve got a lot of guts. Goodness.”
Maru: “Will you help us?!”
Ruy: “I’ll tell you where their back door is. Once you open it, make sure to get in without him noticing. Be extra careful.”
Koro: “Got it. Thanks.”

Mafia: “Don’t mess up our plan.”
Gangster:“Understood.”
Mafia:“Put your catch today in the safe. Together with tomorrow’s loot, we’re gonna hand them all to the agent and sell them.”
Koro: “This is bad. We can’t get the ring back if it gets sold.”
Maru: “That means we have to take it now while we can!”
Guard Dog: “…Hm? It stinks for some reason. Is it coming from there?”
Koro: “Uh oh… Let’s escape now.”
Maru: “But the ring…”

Koro:“The ring will be handed to the agent tomorrow, so now we’ve gotta think of a plan to take it back.”
Maru: “I see! So that’s how it is! As expected of Koro! I never thought about such a thing at all! I feel relieved to leave this to Koro!”
Koro: “You’re too simple.”
Maru: “You’re really awesome, Koro. I’m sure we can get the ring back!”
Koro: “Let’s go back home for now and meet up tomorrow morning…”
Maru:“Oh! It’s Sharon! Heeey!! I’m here!”
Koro: “There’s Rick too! I guess they’re on a date, huh. Perfect timing. Let’s go home together!”
Maru: “Hmm? They didn’t notice us.”
Koro: “…They’re in their own world. Rick is no longer…”
Maru: “See you tomorrow, Koro… Huh? Koro?”

Koro: “Sharon is Rick’s No. 1 now. He doesn’t care about me anymore.”
“I’ve always been Rick’s best friend, but now… I don’t care what happened to the ring now.”
“Oh. If the ring is gone, maybe they will cancel their wedding. In that case…”
*door opens*
Rick: “Koro, I’m home. Sorry, I’m late.”
“What’s wrong, Koro? Are you sick or something? You seem down.”
“Eat this. I’m going to play a lot with you on the weekend. Good night.”

“If that happens, you can continue living alone with Sharon. That’s better for both of us, right?”
Maru: “Did you really mean that? I can’t let Sharon be sad! Come on, let’s take the ring back!”
Koro: “I don’t care about the ring.”

Koro: “What are you going to do if I don’t come? You’d die.”
Maru: “Hehe. I didn’t think of that.”
Koro: “Goodness…”
Chacha: “Heeey! Koro! Maru!”
Rio: “We know who the ring thief is!”
“We heard he’s an underling of a mafia who keeps robbing luxury jewelry stores.”
Maru: “By mafia, you mean…”
Koro:“The guy in that hideout, for sure.”
Rio: “You’ve gone to their hideout?! Excellent!”
Koro: “I heard them talk about a plan yesterday. I figured they’re going to rob another jewelry store today…”
Rio: “It must be Chiffany, then.”
“That’s the only store around here that they haven’t gone to.”
Maru: “When I went to their hideout just now, their guard dog was the only one there. I couldn’t find the box with the ring inside nor the car. Don’t tell me…”
Chacha:“We’ve gotta let Jack know about this now!”
Maru:“Jack?”
Rio: “Our owner!”
Chacha:“Bad news, Jack! The mafia will rob Chiffany today!”
Rio: “Let’s head to Chiffany and stop the mafia now!”
Jack: “What is it? Did you make new friends? Great for you.”
Chacha: “That’s not it! I told you it’s bad news!”
Jack: “Your leash will get entangled if you keep spinning around like that. Hold on. I’ll release it…”
Maru:“This is bad. He doesn’t get it at all!”
Koro: “Let’s just go by ourselves!”
Rio: “I’m going with you!”
Chacha: “Oh! Me too!”

Chacha: “I know where it is! There’s one before the animal hospital!”
Koro: “Let’s be quick!”
Guard Dog: “Grrr… I finally found you. How dare you put me in so much trouble.”
Maru:“Eeek!”
Koro: “To think you chase us all the way here… So persistent.”
Rio:“Who’s he?”
Maru:“The mafia’s guard dog.”

Guard Dog: “The heck is wrong with y'all? So troublesome. I’ll just beat y'all up right here right now!”
Rio: “Koro, Maru, just leave us here. We’ll deal with this guy.”
Chacha: “Hey, hey Mr. Satan! We’re here! Can you catch us~?”
Guard Dog: “Stop looking down on me! Just you wait…”
Koro: “Rio, Chacha! Be careful!”

Ruy:“Everyone sure is brave~.”
Guard Dog: “Do you want to interrupt me or what?!”
Ray: “We can’t let the back of our store get dirty.”
Ruy:“Come on! Hide here.”
Guard Dog: “Hey, wait!”
Rio: “Thanks for helping us.”
Ray:“I’m sure he’ll give up if you stay here for a while.”
Chacha: “But we have to help Koro and Maru!”
Ruy: “Koro and Maru? What’s with them?”
Rio: “Do you know them? They’re going to a mafia place to take back a ring.”
Ray: “So they still haven’t given up on that?”
“Oh, well. I guess we have no choice, then. We’re past the point of no return at this rate. Let us join you.”
Rio: “Thank you!”

Koro: “Should we head in for now? I think no one will notice now.”
Maru: “I don’t see anything strange now. Is the mafia going to…”
Female Customer:“Kyaaa!”
Male Customer: “What’s that?!”
Maru: “They’re here!”
Koro: “Let’s hide below the car! Once they get out of the car, we’ll get in and take back the ring!”
Mafia: “Don’t move! And you, put all the jewelry in this bag!”
Store Clerk: “Ye-Yes.”
Mafia: “I’ll shoot if you try to do anything funny!”
Koro: “Now. I’m sure the box with the ring must be inside…”
Maru: “Found it!”
Koro: “How about the ring?”
Maru: “It’s here!”
Koro: “Nice. Now, all we need to do is to leave quietly…”
Female Customer: “Why is this happening…?”

Muku: Thank you very much, woof!
Misumi: Woof woof!
Kazunari:Woofie!
Tenma: Thank you very much! Woof!
Kumon: Hahaha! Tenma-san, you’re desperate~!
A3! Event: WONDER RUSH Episode 9 Translation
After pondering about it for a while, Yuki has finally made up his mind.
Yuki: We’re back.
Izumi:Oh. Nothing happened to you guys, right? I was about to go there.
Kazunari: We found the hat.
Misumi: Koro was the one who found it~.
Koro:Woof!
Kumon: He did an excellent job.
Izumi: Really? That’s great.
Yuki: Sighs… I’m beat.
Izumi: Good work.
Hato: If you like, you can eat here before going home. I’ll place an order at the nearby restaurant. Their food is good, you see.
Kumon:Yeay!
Misumi:I’m hungry~!
*door bell rings*
Hato:Oh. I guess they’re here.
Izumi: Let me help you carry them.
Tenma: Me too.
Kumon: Me too~.
Kazunari: Let’s prepare some drinks in the meantime, then.
Misumi: Okay~.
Muku: You must be tired, today, huh, given all that happened.
Yuki:Same goes for you.
Muku: Do you think that hat is fixable?
Yuki: More or less.
While it’s true that I don’t have any particular memory of the hat…
I got to know a profession called designer for the first time after making this hat.
If it were the child me, I have no doubt I would choose the fashion designer path.
But now there’s a part of me who wants to continue acting.
That’s why I don’t really know what to write in my career survey.
Muku: I see… But you’re not the only one, because I, too, am still unsure of what I want to do in the future.
I thought I should just go to uni after graduating high school, but that changed when I saw you seriously giving it a thought. I was like, “Is this really okay?”
I got anxious. I felt ashamed of myself.
But after talking with Kyuchan, I realized that it’s fine even if you’re still unsure right now.
We still have time. There’s no need to rush things.
If there are people who already decide what they want to do from the start, there are also people who still need time to think before making their decision.
Everyone has their own pace, so you don’t need to make your decision right now.
Yuki: We still have time… I see.
(I guess I was rushing things.)
(I’ll have more opportunities to choose in the future, and even if those choices are there in front of me, it’s not like I have to make my decision right away.)
I’ve made up my mind. Because both are important to me, I won’t pick just one now.
Besides, I believe there will come a day when I can clearly decide what I want to do.
Muku: You really are cool, Yuki-kun.
Yuki: (…Which one is cool now.)
Koro: Woof woof!
Muku: Ah, are you done with your meal? Let’s play a bit.
Koro: Arf!
Muku:I’m throwing it~.
Koro:Woof!
Yuki: Two puppies… Pome and toy poodle.
–.
I like that idea.
Misumi:Hm~? What are you drawing?
Yuki:Some stuff.
Yuki: Is everyone here?
Izumi: Yep. I think so.
Yuki: I’ve decided on a theme for our next play.
Kumon: Seriously?!
Misumi: What is it? What is it?
Tenma: What kind of frills will it be…
Yuki: I wanna do this.
Tenma: …Huh?
Kazunari:Doggies?
Yuki: Well. Per your request, I’ve decided to pick dogs as the theme.
Kumon:We can use Rento-san’s dogs sound effects with this!
Tsuzuru: I know, right. By the way, have you decided what kind of dogs each of you will be?
Yuki:Only the lead and co-lead roles. The lead will be a pomeranian, while the co-lead will be a toy poodle.
Muku: In that case, Yuki is the pomeranian and the toy poodle…
Misumi:Stares…
Kazunari: It’s decided, then.
Kumon: Yep, yep.
Tenma:Yeah.
Muku:What?! Me?!
Yuki: Because we’re going to perform a dog-themed play, we have to make the visuals super cute. With that said, the two of us are just the right persons for that.
Muku: I-I wonder about that. But… I’ll do my best!
Tenma: Still… I was surprised you didn’t go for frilly costumes.
Yuki: Well, I do like cute costumes with laces and ribbons.
And truthfully, I was itching to make you all wear skirts. I couldn’t throw that idea away.
Tenma: All of us?!
Izumi: That’s new.
Yuki:But when I put our usual plays into consideration, I thought it would not really fit.
Izumi: (Yuki-kun isn’t only a designer, but he’s also our troupe’s actor and staff.)
(I’m sure it was the actor in him who concluded that such a theme would not reflect Summer Troupe’s overall vibes.)
Yuki: But I still want the whole play to be cute, so write a good one, alright?
Tsuzuru: Sure. Leave it to me.
Yuki: Oh, and also, it doesn’t mean I’m going to put aside the frilly costumes altogether, alright? I still want to make it happen one day.
Tenma: So you’re still gonna do it in the end…
Yuki:…
Izumi:Huh? What are you doing here, Yuki-kun?
Yuki:…This.
Izumi:Career survey? That sure takes me back. So you’re already in that period now, huh.
Yuki:While I want to further my study in fashion, I also want to continue acting… I can’t decide on one now.
Besides, I’m still in my second year. I actually want to just write, “undecided,” but I have a feeling my mom and my homeroom teacher won’t let me get away with that.
Izumi: I think you should just write, “undecided.”
That’s the only thing you can write if you’re still unsure, anyway.
And it’s not like you’re not giving it a thought at all. So just make sure to write that in your survey.
If you’re pondering about something, it shows how important that something means to you–it shows how seriously you take it.
The adults may be worried because they have experienced a lot. But…
I’m sure they will understand. You’re mature for your age, and you’re the type who will take actions based on what you have decided.
Yuki:You’re also an adult, though.
Oh, well. Whatever. I’m gonna write, “undecided.”
Izumi: That word is filled with all kinds of futures. I can’t wait to see yours!
Yuki: …For some reason, I feel stupid for worrying about such a thing.
Izumi: Huh? But why?
Yuki:Never mind.
A3! Event: WONDER RUSH Episode 8 Translation
Summer Troupe is still having a hard time looking for Yuki’s lost hat.
Muku:Hmmm…
Kumon: It’s not here either…
Muku: It’s gotten completely dark now. Is there a good way to find it?
Kumon: How about asking people online?
Oh! I’ve got a LIME! Maybe someone has found it?
Muku: From who?
Kumon: Yamaguchi.
Muku: Oh.
Kumon: –.
Muku:What is it?
Kumon: Yamaguchi got accepted into a uni!
Muku: Really?! That’s great!
Kumon: He got accepted through recommendation, so he’ll be continuing baseball in uni.
Muku: College baseball, huh~.
Kumon: Let’s go watch his match!
Muku:Sure.
All of you are amazing… You already decided on what you want to do.
I feel kinda ashamed of myself for choosing to go to uni for no particular reason.
Kumon: You’re not the only one, Muku. I still haven’t fully decided on what I want to do.
Muku:But you already know which uni you want to go to, right?
Kumon:Oh… I actually wanted to tell you after I made my decision.
Actually, I want to go to Yosei.
But it’s not like I want to go there because there’s something I want to do in the future. It’s simply because Nii-chan and Tenma-san are there.
The Yosei boys always talk about their college, and they seem to be having fun commuting to campus together. I’m jealous.
I’m sure my campus life will be much more fun if I’ve got to spend it with them all.
I can join a circle, and do a lot of part-time jobs because they have longer breaks…
And… a-a group date, maybe?!
Universities usually take four years to complete, right? So I figured we can just go find what we want to do in those four years…
Muku: I see… You have a point, we do have four years.
I’m sure those four years will pass by without us knowing. But there’s a chance we may find something within that time.
Kumon: Yep, and I believe there are a lot of people who still don’t know what they want to do in the future.
Muku: Yeah. We don’t need to force ourselves to think about the future…
Thank you, Kyuchan.
Kumon: Noprobs! Oh, don’t tell the others about my uni choice just yet, ‘kay!
Muku: Got it. I’m sure Juchan and Tenma-kun will be happy, though.
Kumon: Ehehe.
Yuki: See? They’re there.
Tenma: I just made a lil mistake, alright?!
Yuki:But you clearly went the opposite direction.
Misumi: Is Tenma lost again?
Tenma: I just made a lil mistake!
Kumon:Oh! How was the search going, guys?
Kazunari: We didn’t find it anywhere~.
Muku: I see… Same here.
Yuki: It’s getting harder to find it because it’s so dark here.
Kumon: Oh, yeah! How about we use this kid to find it by its smell?
Koro: Woof woof woof…
Yuki: But he’s not a police dog.
Koro:Woof!
Misumi: He said it’s impossible~.
Kumon: I see~…
Yuki: It’s fine. Let’s just give up.
I bet someone must have picked it up because we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we looked for it.
It’s not like it’s an expensive item, so…
Muku: You can’t give up.
You said you like that hat, right? You told me it’s your first handmade hat.
It’s an important hat to you, right, Yuki-kun? One that you can’t find in any other places.
Kazunari: Seriously?! We’ve gotta find it for real, then!
Kumon:I think we haven’t looked at those bushes!
Yuki: I’ve told you, it’s fine.
I did tell you it’s my first handmade hat, but it’s not like I have any special memory of it. I can just make a new one.
Kumon: Still! Let’s try looking for it a little bit more!
Kazunari: You must be tired, right, Yukki? You can just wait here.
Tenma: I’ll look over there.
Yuki: Why are you guys more desperate than me?
Muku: Your important thing is also important to us.
Yuki:You all are surely busybodies. Thanks, though.
Koro: Woof woof woof!
Yuki: What is it?
Muku:What’s wrong?
Misumi: Looks like there’s something over there~!
Koro:Arf arf!
Misumi: Is it here?
Yuki: But we’ve looked around this area a lot of times already…
Koro: Woof woof woof!
Kazunari: Huh? What is it? There’s nothing there…
Muku: Don’t tell me, a ghost…?
Tenma: Co-Come again?!
Big Dog: Woof!
Kumon: Whoa! That surprised me…
Koro: Woof woof woof woof!
Yuki: Hey, calm down.
Big Dog’s Owner: He must have scared you. I’m sorry.
Koro: Arf arf!
Yuki:Why are you barking that–huh?
Muku: That hat…
Big Dog’s Owner: Oh. He wouldn’t let go of this hat ever since he picked it up somewhere…
Kumon: Found it!
Big Dog’s Owner: Is it yours? My apologies.
Koro: Woof!
Tenma: I can’t believe we really found it…
Yuki: Lol. You were freaking out just until a while ago.
Kumon: It’s a good thing we found the hat, but it’s tattered now…
Big Dog’s Owner: I’m so sorry. It’s all my dog’s fault. Let me buy you a new one.
Yuki: No, it’s fine. I’m just glad that I could find it. Thanks for picking it up.
Koro:Arf!
Yuki:And thank you, Koro. Let’s go back now. I’m starving.
A3! Event: WONDER RUSH Episode 7 Translation
The rest of Summer Troupe members are helping Yuki look for his lost hat.
Koro: Woof woof!
Yuki:Sighs… We’re finally back.
Tenma:Good work.
Kazunari: Good workie!
Yuki: Wha…? Why are you guys here?
Kumon: We’re going to eat out after this, so we came to pick you up.
Yuki:That’s too sudden.
Misumi:Surprise~!
Muku: Director-san will join us later.
Yuki: But my job isn’t done yet, you know.
Hato: It’s okay, you can go home now.
Yuki: …I’ll be taking my leave, then.
Hato: Hm? Rurikawa-kun, didn’t you wear a hat today?
Yuki: Oh, yeah, I took it off because it was really hot… Huh?
Tenma: Did you drop it somewhere?
Yuki:Sighs… Yeah, I guess. I’m gonna go look for it so you guys can go ahead.
Muku: Oh, Yuki-kun–.
Tenma: Oh, well. I guess I’ll help him find it.
Misumi: We’ll be going then~.
Tenma: Okay. I’ll contact you if we take too long.
Kazunari: ‘Kay, 'kay!
Muku: Be careful.
Tenma: Hey. Don’t just go by yourself.
Yuki: What is it?
Tenma: It’ll be hard to look for such a thing alone, right? I’ll help you out.
Yuki: I never asked you to help me, though.
Tenma: Do you have any idea where you dropped it?
Yuki:I took off my hat around here…
Tenma: I don’t see it anywhere.
*phone rings*
Yuki:Hello?
Kazunari:“Did you find your hat?”
Yuki:…Nope, but I feel like it won’t take too long. We’ll be fi–..
Tenma: Give it to me.
Yuki:What?
Tenma: Let’s meet up here.
Yuki: Hey! What did you just…
Kazunari:“Okay!”
Tenma: Here, your phone.
Yuki: I’ve never said you can do that.
Tenma:You should’ve relied on us.
Yuki:Seeing you get all smug like that is irritating.
…But well, thanks.
Kumon:Thanks for waiting!
Tenma: You guys are fast.
Kazunari:To tell you the truth, we were already heading this way when you called~.
Muku: You were walking the dog earlier, right? So I had a feeling you might go to this park.
Koro: Woof woof!
Yuki: But why is Koro here?
Misumi: He said he wanted to come with us~.
Yuki: Bet he just wanted to walk some more.
Kumon: It’s getting dark, so let’s look for the hat together!
Kazunari:Hmmm…
Yuki: It isn’t here, either… Sighs.
Kazunari: Shall we take a lil break? I’ll go buy us some drinks.
Yuki:Okay.
Kazunari:Here you go.
Yuki:Thanks.
I walked around this park several times when I was going out with Koro. I’ll be surprised if I don’t get tired.
Kazunari: And you immediately went to work right after school~. It’s no wonder you’re tired. Good work, good work.
How was school? Are you doing great?
Yuki:…Why all of sudden?
Kazunari: Mukkun is worried about you, y'see. He told us you might be having trouble deciding on your career path.
Yuki: That guy… He’s surprisingly observant despite his easygoing attitude. Or am I just bad at hiding it?
Kazunari:You guys are always together so it’s no wonder that he took notice.
Yuki: It’s not really a big deal, but it’s just… I just don’t know what to write in my career survey.
Like should I go to a fashion university or a vocational school? But I also want to study abroad too, so it’s hard to throw away that option. And there’s also the option to work as a designer’s assistant.
In your case, you choose to focus on both art and acting, right? I think it’ll be impossible for me.
In the end, there will come a day where I have to pick only one.
But… it’s not like I can easily pick one. Both fashion and acting are important to me.
It’s taking me some time to get into work-mode, you see. I can’t make much progress in the play’s costumes if I keep being undecided.
Kazunari: I see~. I got you.
So that’s what you want us to help the most, huh.
Yuki:What?
Kazunari:Nope. It’s nothing!
Okay… First things first, we’ve gotta find your hat!
Yuki: The heck?
Kazunari: I’ll go look over there! I’ll throw away the empty can while I’m at it!
Yuki: So you just listened and didn’t give me any advice?
Misumi: Kazu is kind~.
Koro:Woof!
Yuki:?!
Don’t just show up so abruptly like that. And what do you mean by “kind”?
Misumi: Kazu wants you to think about other things as well, and not just that.
Be it the costumes, the play or the future, I guess he wants you to forget all of that now.
Being worried over something you like is distressful. Besides, there are cases where you end up hating them, right?
Yuki: …What about you? Have you ever come to hate triangles before?
Misumi:No~pe!
Yuki: The heck, so you never hate them.
Misumi:Ehehe.
Yuki:Oh, well. I don’t really get it, but I at least know that you’re being considerate.
Misumi: Glad to hear that.
Yuki: Goodness. I’ve never asked for you guys’ help and here you are being such busybodies. Thank you, though.
Misumi: Ehehe.
Koro: Woof!
Yuki:Koro. Why are you making such a smug face even though you didn’t do anything?
A3! Event: WONDER RUSH Episode 6 Translation
Muku notices what Yuki has been worrying about when he overhears his conversation with their homeroom teacher.
Yuki:…
(I have some time before my part-time job… I wonder if I can start earlier than usual.)
(And I have to decide on the play’s costumes soon…)
…
(The dress Hato-san made last time came out really nice. I figured it’ll look great on the stage.)
(I also want to try using that lace. It looks cute.)
(But will it suit the usual vibes in Summer Troupe’s plays… Hmm, not quite, I say.)
(If I make whatever I like, it won’t reflect Summer Troupe’s overall vibes. This is quite hard, especially because the play will be based on my costumes.)
*door opens*
Homeroom Teacher: Oh, thank goodness. You’re still here.
Yuki:Ugh…
Homeroom Teacher: You still haven’t submitted your career survey, have you? You’re the only one left.
Yuki:Seriously?
Homeroom Teacher: The deadline was yesterday.
Well, most of you choose to go to university. I guess the second years are still not that troubled over your own career paths.
Yuki:(…If I remember correctly, our school is more or less a prep school.)
Homeroom Teacher: Rurikawa. Do you plan to focus on fashion or acting?
Since you’re doing part-time work now, I think furthering your fashion study is also a good option.
Like, to continue working as an assistant or to go to a fashion university.
Yuki: …I’m still considering my options, more or less.
Homeroom Teacher: I’ll be waiting for your survey by early next week.
Yuki:Understood.
Muku:…
Muku: I’m home.
Misumi:Welcome back~!
Kazunari:Huh? You’re not with Yukki today?
Muku: He has part-time work today.
What are you doing?
Misumi: We’re talking about our next play~.
Kazunari: Even though the theme will be based on Yukki’s costumes, we assumed it must be hard to design them while working part-time. That’s why, we’re trying to prepare some ideas.
Misumi: We’re going to provide him with some ideas~.
Muku: Oh, okay.
Misumi: I still think a dog theme is a good idea.
Kazunari: But if we’re going with the kind of costumes Yukki likes, I think a fantasy play may be better.
Muku:…
Kazunari: What’s wrong?
Muku:What?
Misumi: You look down~.
Muku:…Actually, I have a feeling Yuki-kun is currently having a hard time over his career path.
He still hasn’t submitted his career survey even though it’s past the deadline.
Misumi: I see~.
Kazunari: Career survey, huh? That sure brings back memories.
In that case, today, let’s go eat out with everyone for a chance! We can feel more comfortable asking him all kinds of things that way!
Misumi:Agreed~!
Muku: Sounds great! I’ll tell Kyuchan.
Kazunari: I’ll send a LIME to Tenten, then! Oh, should we invite Director-chan too?
Misumi: I’ll go tell Director-san!
Staff: I’ve finished basting this part. Please check it.
Hato:Thanks.
Yuki:Phew…
Hato: Hmm… Yep, OK. Let’s take a little break, guys.
Staff:Understood. Rurikawa-kun, have some cocoa.
Yuki: Thank you.
Staff: Rurikawa-kun, you’ve been really helpful because you work fast.
Yuki:…Are all designers always this busy?
Staff:Well, yeah. But you’ll get used to it.
Hato:I think this kind of job suits you, Rurikawa-kun.
You’re very exact in your job despite your age, and I can feel how confident you are when it comes to clothes.
When I look at the clothes you make, I can feel your originality–a point of view that only belongs to you. I have no doubt you’ll be a great designer in the future.
Yuki: …
Hato: If you want…
Koro: Woof woof!
Hato: Oh. Now that I think about it, you haven’t gone out today.
Yuki: I’ll take him for a stroll.
Hato: It’s fine, I’ll take him at night. You had school today, right? You must be tired now.
Koro: Arf arf arf!
Yuki: It’s fine. I’ll be going.
Koro:Woof!
Hato: Will you be okay?
Yuki:Yep. I’m still young, after all.
Hato: How reliable.
Koro: Woof woof!
Hato: Looks like you two are getting a little bit closer.
Yuki: Sighs… you can still walk? I know I’ve told him I’m still young, but this is too much.
Koro:Arf!
Yuki:Just how many laps are you going to run… So hot… I’ll take off my hat.
Oh, well. This is a good change of pace.
I only have a week left, after all.
Koro:Woof!
A3! Event: WONDER RUSH Episode 5 Translation
Yuki tries to change his style so that Koro will not bark at him, but it seems to be a worthless effort.
Yuki: Good morning.
Hato: Morning, Rurikawa-kun. Oh? You look different.
Yuki: I’ll be troubled if he keeps barking every time he sees me.
Hato: Ah… Sorry for the trouble.
By the way, did you make that yourself? Down from the design?
Yuki:Yep. It’s best to make the clothes you want to wear yourself.
Hato: Oh… I see…
Koro: Grrr… Woof woof!
Yuki: I’ve already changed my style, yet he’s still like this. What’s the point, then?
Hato: Ah, I think Koro has already considered you a girl.
F-For now, I’ll take him out for a walk so that he won’t be bothering your work!
Koro:Woof!
Hato: To tell you the truth, I hope you can get close to him and take him for a stroll. I’ll be helped that way.
Yuki: I’m actually fine with that, but it’s not the case with Koro, right?
Koro:Grrr!
Hato:I know, right…
Errr, his leash…
Koro: Arf! Arf!
Hato: I got it. I got it. Wait a minute–.
*phone buzzes*
Oops. A call.
–Crap. I have to head out soon.
Yuki: What’s wrong?
Hato: I forgot I have a meeting after this!
I’ll be back in two hours. Until then, you can use this place as much as you like. Please watch over this place for me!
Yuki:Got it.
(I’m pretty much free now. Let’s use this time to think about the play…)
Koro:Yip…
Yuki:…
Koro:Arf…
Yuki: Hey, wanna play with this toy?
Koro:Arf…
Yuki: …Guess I’ve got no choice, then.
Koro:Woof!
Yuki: So anyone is fine as long as you can go out? You sure are selfish.
Oh, well. Your owner already gave you permission, so stroll as much as you want.
Koro:Ruff!
Yuki: (This park sure is spacious, huh… Looks like I’ll be walking around a lot, so I guess I’ve made the right choice by wearing this comfy outfit.)
…Oh. They have a dog space over there. Let’s go there.
Yuki: You can run as much as you want here. And go make some friends.
Koro:…
Yuki: What’s wrong? You can move around without a leash here.
Koro:…
Yuki:Are you scared?
Koro:Yip…
Yuki:Oh, well. Let’s go somewhere else.
Muku: …Huh? Yuki-kun?
Yuki:Muku?
Muku: Is this puppy the one you told me about before? So cute…!
Koro:Woof!
Yuki: I knew it. He’s fine with you.
Muku:Good boy. Good boy.
Yuki:Why are you here, though?
Muku: There was a college track and field meet at a nearby arena. I came to watch it.
Then, on my way home, I heard some dogs barking. It made me wonder if Rento-san had finished collecting all the needed sounds.
Yuki: Now that you mention it, he was asked to do that, right? I totally forgot about it.
If you’re here to watch a track meet, that means you’re gonna do track and field at university?
Muku: Uhh, I’m still not sure about that…
Koro: Woof woof!
Muku: Huh? A ball?
Girl A: I’m sorry!
Girl B: Whoa, a puppy!
Girl A: So cute!
Koro: Woof!
Yuki: So he’s fine with little girls? I don’t understand what kind of person he considers female…
Muku: Ahaha.
Girl A: Oh! That hat is really cute!
Girl B: It has ears attached to it!
Yuki: Thanks. Happy to know you like it.
Muku: Here you go, your ball.
Girl A: Thank you!
Girl B: Bye bye, puppy!
Koro:Woof!
Muku:Did you also make that hat yourself, Yuki-kun?
Yuki: Yeah, when I was a kid.
I wanted an ears-attached hat at that time, but I couldn’t find something that was perfect for me. So, I made it myself. It was my first time.
Muku: So this is your first handmade hat?! It’s really well-made!
Yuki: It’s pretty messy if you take a good look at it, though.
I know I can make a better one now, but I feel attached to this. I like this.
But if I make a new one now, I guess I’ll make it pink.
Muku: A pink knitted hat is also cute. You can just have another one in a different color.
Yuki:Oh, you have a point.

Yuki is already facing a trouble on his first day of work. What is it?
Yuki: …With that being said, please allow me to take this part-time job.
Homeroom Teacher: I see.
Hmm? A designer’s assistant? I was sure you would enter the theater industry, or am I wrong?
Yuki: No, it’s not like that…
Homeroom Teacher: Because you’ve already gotten your parents’ sign, I see no problem with it. I’ll give you the permission.
Oh, and one more thing, please submit your career survey as soon as possible.
Yuki: …Understood.
Yuki: Sighs… the future, huh…
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
Yuki: Can you sign here? It’s a permission slip to take a part-time job.
Yuki’s Mom: Sure, sure. Heh. A designer’s assistant, huh.
Right. I couldn’t talk about it before. What are you going to write in your career survey?
Yuki: …I still haven’t decided on it.
Yuki’s Mom: Oh, okay. I won’t complain over your life choices. You’re free to do whatever you want to do. Just one thing, though…
I think it’s about time you have to think about your future.
Yuki: …I know that.
Hato: This is the atelier.
Yuki: Good morning.
Hato:This is where we draw rough designs and create clothes.
Yuki:(Look at all these designs, fabrics… and the pattern papers over there… So this is what a pro’s atelier looks like.)
Hato: You can use this space after work.
I was allowed to learn a lot of things at my part-time job back when I was still a student, you see, so I wanted to do the same for you.
Yuki:(I feel like I can come up with a lot of things for our next play’s theme and costume design here.)
???: Woof woof!
Yuki:?!
Hato: Now, Koro. You can’t bark here.
Koro: Woof woof!
Hato: Hey! I’m sorry, he doesn’t usually bark like this.
Koro: Grr…
Hato: Is he perhaps on guard because he mistakes you for a girl? It kind of makes sense because the staff here are all males…
Koro: Grr…
Hato: Hey, Koro!
Hmmm… this is bad. Sorry, it must be distractive, right?
Yuki: It’s fine. I don’t really mind.
Hato: Is that so? Make sure not to get close to him, then.
Alright. First things first, can you organize the patterns?
Yuki: Got it.
Yuki:Sighs…
Tenma:Hey, what’s with you?
Yuki:Nothing… I’m just tired.
Tenma:Oh, yeah. Today is your first day at work, right? How was it?
Yuki:…
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
Yuki: I’ve finished it. What should I do next?
Hato: In that case…
Koro: Woof woof! Woof woof!
Hato:Hey! Stop it!
Koro:Arf, arf, arf, arf!
Hato:I’m so sorry about this…
Yuki:…
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
Yuki: (I don’t particularly mind if he’s wary of me… But if this goes on, I’m afraid it’ll only hinder my work.)
If it comes to this… I have no choice but to do that.
Tenma: Do what?
Yuki:…
Tenma: You’re ignoring me?!
Yuki:Hmmm…
I guess I’m good.
(This is better than getting barked at work.)
Muku:Whoa?! Yuki-kun?! Why are you wearing that…
Yuki: There’s a pomeranian at my part-time job, but he keeps barking at me.
Looks like he’s not good with women, so I’ve decided to wear this at work.
Muku:Oh, okay. How was work?
Yuki: Despite that troublesome dog, the work itself is fun. I feel like my experience there will help me in a lot of things.
Muku: I see…
Yuki: What’s wrong?
Muku: No, it’s nothing. That pomeranian must be cute. I want to meet him.
Yuki: I think he’ll like you. I’m gonna ask if you can come and play.
…Crap. I’ve gotta go.
Muku: Have a safe trip. Good luck at work.

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:…

The theme for Summer Troupe’s eighth play has finally been decided after Rento’s visit
Izumi: I’m back~.
Rento: Damn, dude! Just a lil’ bit! You only need to go, “Chirp chirp!”
Kamekichi: You’re one hundred years too early to record this great Kamekichi’s chirping! I’ll require 100,000 grains of rice as a guarantee!
Rento: It’ll take forever to even count ‘em! C'mon, dude, just a sec! Please!
Izumi:What's… going on here?
Yuki:Welcome home.
Muku: Rento-san was asked by his acquaintance to gather animals’ sound effects.
Kazunari: He’s apparently having a hard time collecting birds’ sounds.
Rento: Kamekichi is the only bird I know!
Kamekichi: Don’t think you can ask me a favor just because we know each other!
Rento:Pleeeeeze!
*door opens*
Manager: Hm? Kamekichi, what’s going on?
Kamekichi: Goddamnit, you’re so persistent! Are you a stalker or what?! Hey, say something to this insolent fellow!
Manager: What?! You’re stalking Kamekichi?!
Rento: N-No, there’s no way I’d do that…!
Kamekichi:Hmph! Farewell! Never come here again!
*Kamekichi leaves*
Rento:Ah!
Y-You’ve got it all wrong! It’s a misunderstanding! I was only asked to record sound effects!
Manager: Hoho, I see now. How about 500,000 yen for a day?
Rento: So pricey…! I expected no less from a bird that the God is taking care of… Can I pay by installments…
Tenma: Dude, don’t just casually accept it!
Yuki: You worship the worst person ever.
*door opens*
Tsuzuru: Hm? Manager, Furuichi-san is looking for you…
Manager:Gulps! Err, err…I just remembered I’ve gotta take care of a lot of things! I’ll be taking my leave now! Phew… so busy…so busy…
*door closes*
Rento: Oh! Can you tell me more details–.
Izumi: It’s better to let him go!
Yuki: Kamekichi has escaped, anyway.
Rento:Sighs… My plan has failed. What should I do now?
Muku: You’re looking for birds’ sound, right… I believe you can find them in the park…
Rento:Say, can y'all help me gather sounds?
Misumi:Gather sounds~? Is it like gathering triangles~?
Tenma:Why us…
Rento:Dude, this is when you’ve gotta learn how to give and take. Who knows? Maybe you’ll use it in one of your shows in the future.
By the way, I’ve recorded a lot of dogs’ sounds recently.
This one is golden retriever, this one is dachshund…
Kumon: Heh. Big dogs do sound very different from small ones!
Rento:This one is chihuahua, this one is spaniel…
Tenma: I feel like they’re going to appear in my dream at this rate…
*phone rings*
Rento: Crap! I forgot I had an appointment after this. Bye!
*door closes*
Misumi:Bye bye~!
Kumon:He really left just like that…
Tenma: I wonder what kind of play that requires us to use dogs’ sound effects.
Kazunari: Sounds like a great idea to me, like a dog-filled play!
Izumi:Now that you mention it, it’s about time to prepare for Summer Troupe’s eighth play.
Tsuzuru: Dogs, huh… Isn’t it better to have Yuki as the lead actor, then?
Muku:You have a point. Yuki-kun was the lead actor in our cats-themed play, “The Adventure for Sardines.”
Yuki: Dogs, huh… If we’re gonna do it, I want to make costumes with a lot of lace fabric.
Tenma:Lace…?
Tsuzuru: I guess, once in a while, it’ll be a good idea to write a script based on your costumes.
Izumi: I do agree it will be an interesting challenge for us, given that the costumes are always decided after the script is done.
Kazunari: Same. Sounds great to me.
Kumon:Agreed!
Misumi: I’m looking forward to the frilly costumes~!
Muku: I do think it’s a great idea!
Tsuzuru: It’s decided, then. Tell me if you have any requests.
Yuki: For the time being, I’ll not accept any objection no matter what kind of costumes I’ll make.
Tenma: Just what kind of costumes are you going to make…
Muku: I can’t wait for your leading play, Yuki-kun.
Yuki: I want to make super cute costumes while I’m at it.
Muku:Oh, right, Yuki-kun, what did you want to say to me on our way home earlier?
Yuki:Oh, that… I wanted to ask what you wrote on your career survey. We should submit it soon, right?
Muku:I’m planning to go to university. What about you?
Yuki:…I still don’t know.
Like whether to go to a vocational school for designers, or a fashion university…
I considered studying abroad, but if I do so, I’m not sure if I can continue performing in this troupe.
I thought about it so much I can’t decide on anything now.
Muku: But you’re awesome, Yuki-kun… You’re really thinking about your future.
Yuki:Same goes for you, Muku. You’re smart, so it’s only reasonable that you’d choose to go to college.
Muku:Hmm… I wonder about that.
Kazunari: Oh. Here you are, Yukki~.
Yuki:What is it?
Kazunari: So you see, we’re gonna hold another fashion show at Amabi. They want both you and Azamin to help out again.
Settzer’s not going to model, though.
Yuki: Heh. I don’t mind. I learned a lot last time, after all.
Kazunari:Glad to hear that! Azamin also accepted the offer, so I’ll be counting on both of you!
Muku: Good luck!

Following his visit to home, Yuki seems to be troubled about something.
Yuki: …It’s done!
Yuki’s Mom: Is it the hat you’ve been making recently? I see, so it’s already finished, huh.
Yuki:Yep.
Yuu:Heh, you attached fake ears, huh. That’s cute.
Yuki:Hmm.
I want to try making this kind of skirt next, or this bear-shaped bag.
Yuki’s Mom: Sounds good to me.
Yuu: Is this what you call a rough design?
Yuki: What? I’m not sure…
Yuki’s Mom: Rough design, huh… You look like a designer!
Yuu: I guess you’d be a fashion designer in the future.
Yuki: Designer?
Yuu: It’s a job in which you design and make clothes.
Yuki: (I never knew such a job existed. Sounds like fun…)
Yuki’s Mom: How about you try putting on that hat?
Yuki: …Hm? It’s big.
Yuki’s Mom: I guess the size is a little bit different.
Yuki: Maybe because I used an adult pattern as reference…
Yuki’s Mom: Oh, I see. Still, you did great for a beginner.
Yuu: I love how the design reflects your personality, Yuki.
Yuki:(Designer…)
Yuki’s Mom: I’m so glad to hear that the theater building’s renovation is complete.
Yuu: That means you can perform there again, right?
Yuki: Yep. Honestly though, I wasn’t sure what would become of us at first.
Yuki’s Nephew: Goo, goo, gaga~.
Yuu: Let’s come and watch his show once you get a little bit older, ‘kay~?
Oh, right. I’ve brought some souvenirs from our last trip.
Yuki’s Mom: Oh, my. Thank you.
Yuu:These are for your theater troupe mates. Eat them with the others. There are sweet and salty flavors.
Yuki:Thanks.
Oh. I’ve got something for you as well.
It’s a hat. Because the pink dog plushie came out better than I thought, I used a pinkish color for this one.
Yuki’s Nephew:Whoa~!
Yuu: He really likes pink.
Yuki:He’s got a nice sense.
Yuki’s Nephew: Kya, kya.
Yuu:Now that I think about it again, you tried making a similar hat before, right? You know, the one with ears…
Yuki: Oh, that one? I’m still using it until today.
Yuki’s Mom: It was a little bit big before, but I assumed the size fits just fine now, yes?
Yuki:Yep.
Yuu: So are you really going to be a designer in the future? You’ve always liked knitting and sewing.
Yuki:…
Yuki’s Mom: Speaking of, Yuki, the call I received a while ago…
Yuki: I should get going now. I’m really busy these days.
Yuki’s Nephew: Goo goo~?
Yuki:See you.
Yuki’s Mom: Oh, hey, Yuki–.
Kumon:Nnggh…
Yuki: ?
Kumon:Hmm…
Yuki: What are you doing? Studying?
Kumon:Whoa?!
I-It’s nothing!
Yuki: What? Is it something I shouldn’t see?
Kumon: It’s not like that…
Yuki:Well, whatever. It’s probably your report card, anyway.
Kumon: Err… it’s different… but similar, I guess.
Yuki: You’ve been putting in a lot of effort in your study lately, huh. Didn’t you also get Tsumugi to help you with that?
Kumon: It’s because I’m in my senior year now! I need to decide on my future sooner or later…
Yuki:…
Kumon:What’s wrong?
Yuki:Nothing.
Here, I’ve got you some souvenirs. It’s a perfect snack for studying, don’t you think so?
Kumon:Wow, thanks!
Muku:Oh. Here you are, Kyuchan.
Kumon:?
Muku:This is yours, right? You dropped it in the hallway.
Kumon: What?! I didn’t notice it at all! Thanks!
Yuki: Do you want some too, Muku? I’ve got them from my family.
Muku: Thank you.
I’m also thinking of going back home soon.
Kumon: Oh, really? I want to meet your mother too, Muku~. It’s been a while.
Muku: In that case, do you want to come with me?
Kumon: Can I?!
Yuki: Your whole family is as close as ever, huh.
Kumon:Our parents are close, after all~.
Homeroom Teacher: I guess that’s all I’ve got to say now…
Oh, right. I almost forgot. Don’t forget to submit your career survey. I’ll wait until next week.
Yuki:…
Homeroom Teacher: That’s all from me. Be careful on your way home.
Yuki:…
Muku: …Yuki-kun? What’s wrong?
Yuki:No, it’s nothing. Let’s go home.
Muku:The souvenirs you gave us a while ago were really delicious. Juchan couldn’t stop eating the sweet one.
Yuki:…
Hey, Muku…
Muku: What is it?
Yuki: …It’s nothing.
Rento: Oh~, Hey, you two!
Perfect timing. I’m about to go to your place after this.
Yuki:Do you have a meeting or something?
Rento: Well, how should I say this?

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.

Moka:Arf arf!

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!
A3! Event: The Key to Daydreaming (Summer Troupe’s Part) Translation
I keep forgetting to translate this event but since my big exam is over, I managed to find some time to work on this. Enjoy!
https://yaycupcake.com/a3/index.php?title=The_Key_to_Daydreaming#Event_Story
A3! Event: Trump the Phantom Thief Epilogue: Full Speed Ahead Translation
Now that Trump the Phantom Thief play had completely wrapped, Muku focused on practicing for his relay race.
Izumi: Good job on the play, guys! Cheers!
Muku: Good work, everyone!
Juza: Good work.
Azami: Man, we sure had a lot of people this time.
Banri: Especially on the last day.
Kazunari: Right, right~! Never would have thought real thieves would appear~!
Yuki: It’s my first time receiving a letter of appreciation from the police.
Izumi: We even made it to the news. Did you see the “Bravo, Theater Man!” one?
Sakyo: It was also trending on social media. This is such a great promotion for us.
Kumon:Man, so jelly~! I wanted to catch the thieves with you guys!
Misumi: I also wanted to run with Muku~!
Banri: The heck, dude? If you want to run with him, you can do it anytime.
Izumi: (Now that we’ve done the mixed plays, our popularity has pretty much increased compared to before…)
(I guess that means we took a step closer towards the Fleur Award.)
Juza: Muku, you still have your race next, right? How’s your practice going?
Muku: I’m doing really great. While I’m not as fast I used to be in the past, I’m slowly catching up.
I have a lot of fun joining the club activities after a long time. Please come and watch the race, guys. I’m going to do my very best.
Juza:Yea. Looking forward to that.
Muku: …Haah. Haah.
Three more trees–.
Kumon: Hey, Muku.
Juza: We brought some snacks.
Muku: Oh, you came!
Juza:Are you doing okay? You go practicing even on your day off.
Kumon: You can take it easy.
Muku: Thanks for the concern but I’m doing okay. My teammates have come up with an efficient training menu.
Kumon: Oh, okay.
Juza:Looks like you’re getting along well with your fellow club members.
Muku: Yep. They’re supporting me a lot.
I’ll run around three more trees and take a break.
Kumon: Good luck!
…He looks like he’s having fun.
Juza: Damn right. I’m glad he decided not to give up on track and field.
Kumon: Yeah.
Muku: (Today is finally the day of the tournament…)
Juza: Muku. Good luck today.
Muku: …Thank you. I’ll be going, then!
Kazunari: Oh. I see Mukkun.
Misumi: Heeeey, Muku~! Good luck~!
Kumon: He looked this way!
Yuki: Did he notice us?
Tenma: That aside, what a crowd.
Juza: I guess it’s only to be expected since today is the final race.
Banri:Though we kinda stand out since we’re the only group of men here.
Sakyo: Look who’s talking.
Kazunari: Guys, look! Mukkun is the last runner!
Announcer:“First Lane, St. Flora High School–.”
Izumi: I’m getting nervous just by watching.
Muku:…
(I’ve got to show the result of my practice…)
(For Juchan and the others who always support me, and for my fellow club members who willingly welcomed me back.)
(And for the past me who had to quit track and field because of my injury.)
(I will run at full speed so that I will have no regrets later on…)
…Okay!
*gun sounds*
Muku:–.
Spectator A: Whoaa! Go, go~!
Spectator B: Do your best~!
Muku:(First runner…second runner… Good. The pace is great. Now the baton is in the third runner’s hand–.)
Track and Field Club Member A:Sakisaka!
Muku:Yeah!
–.
Juza:Muku, run!
Muku:(Watch me, Juchan–.)
–.
Announcer: First place, St. Flora High School!!
*applause*
Muku: I did it…!
Track and Field Club Member A: Great job, Sakisaka!
Track and Field Club Member B: We won!
Muku:Yes!
Kumon:Hooray!
Misumi: You’re amazing, Muku!
Kazunari: Grats, Mukkun~!
Juza:You did it, Muku.
Track and Field Club Member A: Thanks for coming back, Sakisaka. It’s thanks to you that we could win today’s race.
Muku: I should be the one thanking you for giving me the chance to run again.
I’m so happy I got to practice with you all and won the tournament.
I can finally get rid of the regrets I felt that time.
*phone notification sounds*
Muku: ?
Juza: [I’ll take you home if you’re still there.]
Track and Field Club Member A: Sakisaka, you’re gonna ride the train too, right?
Muku: Ah, no. I’ll take this road. Good bye, guys.
Track and Field Club Member A: Bye bye!
Muku: Juchan!
Juza:Hey.
Muku:Sorry for making you wait. Where are the others?
Juza: I’m the only one here. They all said you were awesome and praised you a lot.
Muku: Ehehe.
Juza: I also thought you were so cool when I watched you run at full speed.
Muku: Thanks for watching until the end, Juchan.
I heard your voice when I was running.
Remember when I confronted the thieves at the cruise? I’ve gained strength because of your voice.
Your support is my driving force, Juchan.
Juza: You give me too much credit.
Muku: Remember when I just started track and field, you wished me good luck?
Back then, I couldn’t talk to you like I do now since you seemed hard to approach, and that comment might not be a deal to you. But…
Your words gave me so much strength. I’d never thought you’d cheer me like that.
Juza: …Did something like that happen?
Muku:It’s such a precious event to me.
Juza: Well, I’m glad it could give you strength.
Let’s go home. I heard Omi-san and Guy-san prepare something to celebrate your victory.
Muku:Seriously!?
Juza: By the way, the dessert will be special chocolate parfaits.
Muku: Wow! Can’t wait to eat that!
Juza:Same.
A3! Event: Trump the Phantom Thief Episode 10 Translation
Muku offered to help when Saionji and the ship crew ran into problems.
Saionji: One of the evacuation boats is gone?
Guard: Yes. It was still there when I checked yesterday…
Saionji: If Sakisaka-kun didn’t let me know, I would think of it as nothing but a mere incident. But now there’s a chance it may be related to the thieves.
Sakyo: They may use the boat to escape.
Yuki: Makes sense.
Banri: But judging by what Muku said, I assume they will carry out their plan tomorrow during the unveiling. Does that mean they stole the boat and made some preparation in advance?
Azami:Or they might have noticed someone find out about their plan and decided to steal it earlier…
Muku: In that case, we have to catch the thieves quickly before they steal the jewel!
Saionji:That will be the police and the guards’ job.
In the first place, they’re probably blending in with the other passengers. We can’t just catch people randomly.
Muku:I know how they look.
A man, and a woman who may be an accomplice… I’m begging you. Please let me help.
Saionji:But…
Izumi: I can’t put you in danger, Muku-kun.
Muku: Saionji-san, you have been looking out for us a lot to make sure we don’t have any problems during our stay here.
You have been helping us so that we could perform at an unfamiliar place like this… I’m grateful that you offered such a request.
I want to do whatever I can to help you protect the thing you treasure.
I’ll regret it if I don’t do anything and let the jewel be stolen.
Juza: Director, let Muku do what he wants. I’ll protect him.
Banri: It’s not like the cops are going to arrive soon, anyway. If you want to catch them for real, his help is necessary.
Azami: I’ll help out too if Muku-san is serious about it.
Yuki: It’s not like Trump to let the jewel be stolen without doing anything.
Kazunari: Yepyep! The treasure is ours~!
Sakyo: God. Fine, fine.
Muku: You guys…
Izumi: Promise me you will run away once you know it’s dangerous.
Muku: Yes.
Izumi: Saionji-san, will you let us help you out?
Saionji:I’m actually hesitant about this, but I have to admit Sakisaka-kun’s testimony is very important during this time.
I’ll let you help too. However, you have to be very careful and move along with the guards.
I’ll contact the police again. And if possible, I want to avoid causing confusion among the other passengers…
Muku: Oh. In that case…
Suspicious Man:…
Female Passenger?:?
Muku: “I shall take this treasure first.”
Suspicious Man: …You!?
Female Passenger?: Hey, wait!
He did hear it. I made a mistake by letting him go.
Muku: (She’s really an accomplice…)
Juza: Muku, run!
Muku:–.
Muku:Haah…Haah…
Suspicious Man: Don’t let him get away!
Passenger A: Kyaa!
Passenger B: What is it? An actor?
Passenger C: Is this the continuation of the play? A performance?
Kazunari:“King, over here~!”
Muku: “–.”
(I only need to run until there…!)
Kazunari: “Q. Get the net over there.”
Yuki: “I’ve already had it in my hands.”
Muku:“Hey, you two, lift it up!”
Kazunari: “Okey dokey~!”
Yuki: “Too heavy…!”
Suspicious Man:Whoaa!?
Female Passenger?:–ugh.
Guard: We secured the criminals!
Female Passenger?: Shit.
Saionji: Sakisaka-kun, can you confirm if they are the right persons?
Muku: Yes, that’s them.
“But the other person should be a woman.”
Female Passenger?: I’m just like Q.
Guard: The police are here!
Passenger A: So they’re holding a performance outside the theater venue.
Passenger B: That was interesting!
Muku: T-Thank you very much!
Kazunari:Thank you~.
Saionji: I really appreciate your help today. You helped me a lot.
It’s all thanks to you all that I am able to protect this gem.
We also managed to avoid confusion between the passengers. They were all calm. Your idea to pretend to hold a performance worked, Sakisaka-kun.
Muku: Will the unveiling be cancelled after this incident…?
Saionji: Because we didn’t suffer any damages, it won’t be cancelled. I’d like to hold the event as planned while consulting the police.
Allow me to offer my gratitude once again.
Muku: T-There’s no need…!
Saionji: I shall take my leave now. I have to do some cleaning up and prepare for tomorrow.
Juza: Muku, are you injured anywhere?
Muku: I’m fine. It’s a good thing the thieves are caught.
Juza: You worked hard.
Muku: –.
***
Juza: …Good luck on track and field.
Muku: …Yes!
***
Juza: What’s wrong?
Muku: …It’s nothing.
I could help them out because Juchan and the others backed me up.
Thank you.
Muku accidentally overheard something bad on the last day of Trump the Phantom Thief run.
Izumi: Today is finally the closing show… Time flies, as always.
Muku: I still want to continue both this cruise and play!
Juza: I don’t want it to end.
Yuki: Living in this ship is really comfortable.
Azami: Not only the theater venue, but the mirror in the dressing room is huge.
Kazunari: I wanna go around the world at this rate~.
Sakyo: How long are you planning to keep this plan, god.
Banri: I’ve gotta admit I feel kind of sad today is our last show, though.
Kazunari: Oh, yeah! Let’s take a pic at the deck to commemorate our closing show!
Kazunari: It came out great~.
Sakyo: It feels like we’re still on the stage since we’re still wearing our costumes.
Juza: I can’t get away from Jack.
Banri: It’s not everyday we get to perform a play set at a similar location as our venue, after all.
Kazunari: This looks so Inste worthy! Gotta upload it~.
Yuki: By the way, the jewel showcase is tomorrow, right?
Sakyo: We’re getting off this ship after that. You better start packing now.
Izumi: Let’s head back to the dressing room. You all need to change.
Muku: …
Izumi: Muku-kun?
Muku: Oh, sorry. Can I stay here a bit longer?
I want to stay in this King getup a little bit longer…
Izumi: But make sure not to come back late, alright?
Muku:Okay.
Muku:…
(I was surprised when I got casted as King. I’ve never thought I could pull it off.)
(But I was able to be more confident, little by little, as I continued performing various roles on the stage.)
(Everyone’s support helped me gain the desire to try new things.)
(I’m glad I decided to try taking on a role I love and ran through the performance until the end.)
(I might have a hard time deciding if I should go back to track and field, but I shall challenge myself so that I won’t regret it in the future.)
(I took a step forward, just like the time when I started theater…)
…
I should go back soon.
Muku: (I’m a little bit thirsty…)
(Let’s go buy something at the vending machine. Maybe I should buy the strawberry milk too since Juchan likes it…)
Suspicious Man: …It’s going as planned.
Muku:?
(Why is that person making a call while looking around restlessly…)
Suspicious Man: …The security will be tightened if we miss the unveiling.
Muku:(Unveiling?)
Suspicious Man: We’ll get close to the target when the audience is thrown into confusion… The escape route is…
Muku:–.
(Is he talking about something bad…)
Female Passenger: What’s wrong?
Muku: !?
Female Passenger: Are you alright? Are you looking for something?
Muku: U-Umm… The vending machine…
Female Passenger: The vending machine?
Muku: (This is bad. We’ll get caught by that suspicious person if we stay here.)
I was on my way to buy some juice, but I forgot to bring money.
Female Passenger: Oh no.
Muku: I will go back to the dressing room.
Female Passenger: All right. By the way, you’re one of the actors from the play, right? Your acting was so great. Best of luck to you.
Muku: Thank you so much!
Yuki: Welcome back.
Banri: You sure took your time.
Saionji: I think the preparation for the closing party is going to be complete soon.
Muku: …
Juza: What’s up?
Muku: Umm…! I have something to tell you guys!
Izumi: Thieves, you say!?
Azami:Seriously?
Kazunari: That totes sounds like a crime plan!
Yuki: Wish that only happened in the play, not in real life too.
Muku: I don’t think I misheard what he said…
Saionji: I shall use all proper caution and contact the police. I’ll also re-examine the guards station.
Muku: If there’s anything we can help–.
Saionji: It’ll be bad if anything happens to you. I appreciate the thought, though.
Banri: You should think about your own safety instead, Muku.
Kazunari: True. If he finds out that his plan has been leaked, he’s going to gag you.
Muku:Ah!
Saionji: Just to be safe, I’ll assign someone to guard you.
Juza: Did someone notice when you heard about the plan?
Muku: I don’t think she noticed but a female passenger was talking to me. She complimented my performance.
Sakyo: I hope she’s not an accomplice.
Muku:…
*door knocks*
Guard: Saionji-san, this is bad!
A3! Event: Trump the Phantom Thief Episode 8 Translation
Play time! A heads up on the characters’ names:
Muku: King
Yuki: Q
Kazunari: Ace
Juza: Jack
Banri: Fox
Sakyo: Club
Saionji: Muku-kun, how are you doing? Are you getting seasick?
Muku: I’m doing alright, thank you. Oh, and the room is so beautiful.
Saionji: I am glad it is to your liking. We purposely built the suite rooms in a place where you can’t feel the ship’s motion.
I am planning to take every possible measure for the theater venue as well, though do not hesitate to let me know if you are unsatisfied with anything.
Muku: I will. Thank you.
Kazunari: Dude, not only the suite rooms are superbs, but to think we also get a whole staff to ourselves…! We can even get the beverages here as many times we like!
Yuki: True. The service is just so good it surprised me.
Sakyo: Don’t get too engrossed in these service or you’ll be havin’ a hard time once we return to Mankai Company.
Izumi: You have a point…
Banri: I don’t wanna go back.
Juza: …I’m thirsty.
Muku: Wanna get some beverages in our rooms?
Juza: No, it’s fine. Our rooms are far from here.
Azami: There’s a lot of vending machines there. I think they have your favorite strawberry milk.
Juza: I’ll go get it.
Muku:…
Izumi: (Today is finally our opening show. I knew it. They all seem pretty nervous because we’re going to perform in a different venue.)
Juza:…
Izumi:(Juza-kun looks stiff.)
Kazunari: OK, guys! We’ve gotta form a circle in times like this!
Banri: Be more specific. What d'you mean by “in times like this”?
Yuki: Bet you already thought of what kind of circle you wanna do.
Kazunari: Righty right! Since our play is about phantom thieves, we all should strike a phantom thief pose!
Sakyo:The heck is that?
Kazunari: No complaining! Just follow me!
Yuki: Fine. Fine.
Juza: …Muku, do the chant.
Muku: First things first, I’m sorry for causing you guys troubles when I was at a loss of what to do.
I don’t want to give up on all the things I want to do. I’ve decided to do everything I can in all of them.
I’ll run through until the end. Follow me, guys!
Juza:Yeah!
Kazunari:Okie!
Banri: Yea.
Q: “It’s as musty as always.”
Ace:“Clean it up.”
Q:“How about you do it?”
Ace: “No way. Geez. This place used to be clean, wonder what happened to it.”
Q:“That’s because we had a clean-freak before.”
Ace: “Okay. Leader, you do the cleaning.”
King: “I think it’s pretty clean, though.”
Q:“Seriously?”
Ace: “Should’ve known a messy room owner like Leader would say something like that.”
Q: “Anyway. Since this is the first time we gathered here after a year, that means you’ve already set our next target, right? Let’s cut to the chase already.”
King:“Our next target will be "Mermaid’s Tears”, a 12-carat diamond.“
"It’s going to be sold during an auction held at the Royal Star cruise. It’s one of the event’s highlights and expected to sell for 6 billion.”
Ace: “Woo-hoo.”
Q: “Heh. Interesting.”
King: “Royal Star is currently hiring staff. Q.”
Q: “Got it. That means I have to sneak in as one of their staff members, right?”
King: “Ace, get close to the ship’s captain and collect information.”
Ace:“Roger.”
Izumi: (I expect no less from Summer Troupe. They have great teamwork. I can totally feel it.)
(Not to mention Muku-kun’s King is able to unite them as a leader.)
Q: “I’m in charge of the rooms in Block A… Laundry and… Ugh. What a hassle.”
“This isn’t my job in the first place, after all. If that person were here–.”
Crew Member: “Are you new here? You seem lost.”
Q: “Yes. I don’t think I can get out of this place if I lose the map.”
Crew Member: “You can ask anyone if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Q:“Thank you.”
“?”
Crew Member: “What’s wrong?”
Q: “I think I saw someone over there–.”
Crew Member: “But there’s only a garbage can over there. Is it a ghost or something?”
Q: “Hey. Stop. I don’t like it.”
“Hm? A letter?”
“Could this be–I have to report to King.”
King: “I’ll take the Mermaid’s Tears–Jack.”
Ace: “Can’t believe he’s aiming for the same thing.”
Q: “Him and King sure are compatible in a strange way.”
Ace: “Even though their personalities are the exact opposite of each other.”
Q: “What are we going to do now?”
Ace: “Guess we’re gonna have a change of pla–.”
King:“We’ll continue the operation.”
Q:“Come again!?”
Ace: “So you mean we’re gonna compete with Jack?”
King: “I will not send out this notice. Let’s call it a direct confrontation between Trump and Jack.”
Q:“Whaaaat!?”
Jack: “Weird. The cops aren’t on the move.”
“Hm? Where’s my noti–.”
“It’s been a while. How about a reunion? At The Mermaid’s Tears’ chamber. Trump.”
“King, huh… It’s just so like him to do something like this. Fine. Let’s have a showdown.”
Fox:“Here. I got what you wanted, the Royal Star’s blueprint.”
King: “It is indeed the blueprint.”
Fox: “I got you some addition as well. This one is a lil bit pricey.”
King:“Figured as much.”
Fox: “What are you going to do with this information, though?”
King: “It’s prohibited to poke your nose into your client’s private life.”
Fox:“Oops. My bad. I was curious since you rarely asked for something like this. Oh, yeah. Your master said he wanted to see you.”
King: “Club? I wonder why. I’ll try contacting him.”
Club: “I’m comin’ in.”
Fox: “Speak of the devil.”
King: “Long time no see.”
Club: “Perfect timing. Are you free now?”
***
Club: “I’m goin’ to retire soon. Take whatever you need.”
King:“Retire? Are you serious?”
Club: “My body is startin’ to fall apart. It’s an age thing. Tell this to Ja–Oh, right. I heard you two broke up.”
King: “You made it sound like we’re dating. Please don’t do that. He just decided to quit my group on his own.”
Club: “Y'all never change. Here I thought you’d keep workin’ together. That’s what you call youth, I guess.”
King: “To be honest with you, I’d also never thought he would betray me.”
Club: “Looking at that guy, I think he’s in his rebellious phase rather than betrayal.”
King: “Rebellious phase?”
Club: “He’s got some strong sense of rivalry, y'know? Add that with the fact that he’s never won against you.”
“He must be jealous of you. You’re a genius, while he can only do things in a crude way.”
King: “Really? I like his way of doing things, though.”
Club: “That’s exactly why you’re hated. Oh, well. You better make up before I die.”
King: “Please tell that to him too. You’re going to meet him after this anyway, right?”
Club: “You’re right. Guess I’m also gonna tell him directly. Both of you are my most excellent apprentices, after all.”
King: “Please take this as my present for your retirement. This one is 40 years old.”
Club: “You sure are well prepared.”
King: “I was actually planning to use it for the celebration party, though.”
“–Oh, right. If you’re going to retire, please give me that. You know, the ‘Venus Ring’.”
Club: “I refuse.”
***
Fox: “Welcome. Man, I guess we’ve got a lot of 'speak of the devil’ moment today.”
Jack: “What are you saying?”
Fox: “Nope. Forget it. Anyway, this is your requested uniform and safe.”
Jack: “Thanks.”
Fox: “Oh, yea. Your master said he wanted to see you. Why don’t you give him a call?”
***
Jack: “Long time no see.”
Club: “Hey. Is it just me or did you lose some weight?”
Jack: “What do you want to talk about?”
Club: “I’m gonna retire soon. Take whatever you need.”
Jack: “Whatever you need, huh. By the way, the 'Venus Ring’…”
Club: “Y'all really have the same taste. I ain’t gonna give it out. I sent it to the right place.”
Jack: “By y'all… Do you mean King?”
Club: “You should just go back and regroup with him.”
Jack: “I’ll never go back until I win against him.”
Club: “What a pig-headed kid. So? You see any chance to accomplish that?”
Jack: “I have a feeling we’re finally going to settle this soon.”
Club: “Heh. You seem confident.”
Jack: “Because I’ve made arrangements ahead of time.”
Club: “That’s so you. You still look as gloomy as ever, though. Why don’t you go soaking up the sun in some warm places in the south once in a while?”
Jack: “No–But you have a point. Maybe I’ll do that once this is over.”
Club: “Do that. And make up with King.”
Jack: “…It depends on him.”
Guard A: “Wait there.”
Guard B: “This place is restricted to authorized personnel.”
***
Q: “'Mermaid’s Tears’ has been carried away.”
King: “Got it. Looks like they put it at the expected place.”
Q:“How about the security? Can you unlock it?”
King: “I’ve already made preparation for that. We just need to see how things will turn out.”
Ace: “Hey, wait a sec. Please, King.”
King: “Find out the schedule for the guards’ lookout.”
Q: “Ugh. What a pain. Why do I have to do this…”
***
Q: “The guard will change at 1 P.M. The key will only be handed over when a substitute comes.”
King: “So we need that key and the password that the captain has to unlock the door.”
Q: “Ace, gain some time for us.”
Ace: “Roger. Leave it to me.”
Q: “Don’t screw up.”
***
Ace: “Hey, good work.”
Guard A: “You’re here sooner than I thought.”
Ace: “Boss said my shift would start 30 minutes earlier since I’m always late, you see. Today I got here on time, though.”
“Oh. Don’t tell me you’re gonna get scolded if you end your shift early? Wanna have some chat for thirty minutes then? Man, being a guard sure is easy.”
“I actually want to increase my shift more, you know. But I don’t reall–.”
Guard A: “No, it’s fine. I’ll end my shift now. Bye.”
Ace: “Oh. Okay, then. Bye.”
***
Ace: “Mission complete. It’s your turn now, King.”
King: “Let’s see, now. This is unexpectedy such a hassle~.”
Ace: “I’m glad you seem to be having fun but please hurry up.”
***
Q: “It’s almost been thirty minutes.”
King: “Just a little bit more…”
Q: “The guard is coming.”
King: “I’m counting on you, Ace.”
***
Ace:“Hey..”
Guard B:“Hm?”
Ace: “Ouch ouch ouch…”
Guard B: “What’s wrong?”
Ace:“Oh, are you the substitute? Thank God. I’m starting to panic since my stomach is killing me. Good bye!”
Guard B: “Hey, wait, the key–.”
Ace: “Key? Oh, right. I’ve gotta hand it ove–ouch ouch ouch.”
Guard B: “Hey, you okay?”
Ace: “Wait a minute. Just until I calm down. Ouch ouch ouch…”
Guard B: “F-For now, just go to the toilet first.”
Ace:“Don’t think that’s possible. I feel like it’s gonna come out once I move.”
Guard B: “Whaaat!?”
Ace: “Do you have some medicine or anything?”
Guard B: “No, sorry…”
Ace: “Can you bring me one from the infirmary? I’m on the edge here.”
Guard B: “O-Okay! Wait a little bit!”
Ace: “King, you better open it now.”
***
King: “…Weird. We may not make it.”
Ace: “Come again!?”
King: “Oh, I got it. This one.”
“…Nice. It opens!”
“Q, carry it out. Let’s retreat.”
Q:“Got it.”
***
Guard B: “Hey, I have the medicine!”
Ace: “Very thanks, man. Here, your key! I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Guard B: “Yeah. Hope you recover soon.”
King: “…This is weird. Jack didn’t come in the end.”
Q: “Maybe he realized it’s impossible to go against phantom thieves.”
King: “No. That guy…”
Police: “Freeze! We’re police!”
King: “–.”
Q: “!?”
Ace: “Since when!?”
King: “We’re being set up. Q, throw the 'Mermaid’s Tears’ to the sea.”
Q:“Huh!? Do you hear yourself now!?”
King: “Do it now. We’ll escape the moment the police look away.”
Ace: “You’re lying, right!?”
King:“Quick.”
Q:“You’re the one who told me to do it, alright!”
Police: “H-Hey! The jewel! Pick it up, quick!”
King: “Let’s go!”
Police:“Wait!”
Q: “What do we do now!? All of our hardship went to waste!”
Ace: “Our 6 billion…”
King: “That was a fake jewel Jack had prepared.”
Q:“What?”
King: “Jack had stolen 'Mermaid’s Tears’ in advance and replaced it with a fake one.”
“He was the one who snitched on us.”
***
Narration: “The day before…”
Guard A: “Hey, what’s wrong?”
Jack: “No, it’s just… the engine…”
Guard A: “Hold on, hold on. If there’s any trouble, you better do something about it or else it’ll get worse later on. If we’re liable for the damages…”
Jack: “There’s smoke coming out!”
Guard A: “Say what!?”
Jack: “Stay away from the car!”
Guard B:“Whoa!”
Guard A: “C-Call the fire station! Wait, we gotta get the safe first!”
Guard B: “Hey, is it okay?”
Jack: “Yeah. The smoke disappeared. I found no issues with the machine too.”
Guard A: “That means the safe is alright, yeah? God. Give me a break. We almost carry it away ahead of time.”
***
Q: “So that’s why Jack didn’t show up…”
Ace: “He really got us! I already thought it was weird for the police to appear at times like that!”
Q:“Ugh. Even if the police didn’t appear, Jack still won since he already got the 'Mermaid’s Tears’ before us.”
King:“I wonder about that.”
***
King: “He hasn’t made any changes in his base. Well, isn’t he a little careless…”
“Even his security system is so weak.”
“Hm? A card?”
“'Out of respect of Master’s retirement, I will hand over the victory.’”
“Don’t be satisfied with second place. You could have taken measures if you know there’s a chance it’ll get stolen. Oh, well. I’ll accept your kind offer…”
***
Jack:“…”
“He really came…”
King:“Hey.”
Jack: “–ugh. Why are you still here, King?”
King: “It’s been a long time, I want to renew our friendship. I even brought alcohol with me.”
Jack: “This is why you’re hated.”
King: “But you don’t hate me, do you?”
Jack: “How did you find out?”
King: “I got some information about you from Fox. It helped me understand your strategy to some extent.”
Jack: “In that case, why did you fall into the trap?”
King: “Because, otherwise, you won’t move forward as planned. I’ll be troubled if you’re on your guard.”
“I could narrow down your base thanks to the location device I planned on the alcohol I gave to Club. The rest is my intuition.”
Jack: “I can never bring myself to like you in the end.”
King: “Now, now. Let’s have a toast for the 'Mermaid’s Tears’. Q and Ace are waiting.”
Izumi:(This is the only scene where Jack and King talk face to face. Even so, you can tell how close they are just by watching this scene alone.)
(Maybe because they are cousins, they can create a unique relationship between rivals who understand each other the most.)

Muku:Thank you so much!
Juza: Thank you.
Sakyo: Thank you.
Yuki: Thank you.
Kazunari: Thankies thankies~!
Banri: Thank you.
***
Sakyo: The audience’s reaction on our first show is great.
Juza: King was so cool.
Muku: Jack was even cooler! The fact that he’s active behind the scenes is just so Juchan!
Juza: I can also feel the gap between King, a sharp person with a gentle look, and you, Muku.
Muku:I-Is that so? Ehehe. But your Jack…
Azami: They’re going to be like that forever at this rate.
Yuki: When are you going to stop?
Banri: But well, it was good overall. Right?
Kazunari: Totally! Their chemistry was just perfect on the stage, even the audience was pleased!
Izumi: Let’s keep this energy until the closing show!
Muku: Yes!
A3! Event: Trump the Phantom Thief Episode 7 Translation
Juza took Muku to one of the locations appearing in his favorite manga as they had a heart to heart conversation.
Juza’s Mom: I heard Muku-chan won another race!
Kumon: Seriously!? That’s sick!
Juza’s Mom: Let’s go cheer him on next time.
Kumon:Sure! You too, Nii-chan!
Juza:…No, I’m good.
Kumon:Whyyy~!?
Juza: (I’ll only freak people out if I go. ‘Sides, what if people start spreading bad rumors about Muku because of me?)
Tenma: Thank you so much!
Misumi:Thanks for coming~!
Muku: Thank you very much!
Juza:(That’s Muku? He looks like a totes different person.)
(I heard he was kind of down after quitting track and field, but he didn’t look that way at all on the stage.)
(Never knew he could shine like that onstage.)
(Maybe I, too…)
Juza:You’re the reason why I started theater.
Seeing you take a step forward to theater gave me the courage to do the same.
But what if you go back to track and field, and in the worst case get injured again….
What if you clash with your teammates and get hurt in the process… What if that issue affects your acting as well…
I just don’t want to see you get hurt again.
…But that’s just my ego speaking.
I didn’t know how you feel about returning to track and field.
No one can ruin your desire to run again, just like how no one can ruin my desire to perform onstage.
I should’ve told you, “If you’re gonna do it, give 110 percent at both of them. I’ll support you.”
It’s my job as your fellow troupe member, your family and your co-star, to support what you wanna do and back you up.
Sorry for being harsh on you the other day.
Muku: …It’s alright. I should thank you instead, Juchan.
I know you said those things because you were worried about me.
I could make up my mind because of your words. I finally realized my own feelings.
I’m sure there’s still a part of me who longs to participate in a relay race with my clubmates…
I thought I’d moved on, but…
Maybe I thought that way because somewhere in my heart, I was sure my leg hadn’t recovered, because I felt like I couldn’t go back to track and field.
This time, I won’t regret it even if I can’t manage to bring the best outcome after practicing. I just want to do my best to take part in the race with the others, just like before.
I want to do my best until the end. And I want you to watch me run.
Juza: Sure. Show me how you run as the Ace of the club.
Muku:Okay! I’ll give it my all.
And you see, I’ve never thought about leaving the theater.
Mankai Company is a precious place that everyone gave to me when I was still unable to go back to track and field.
And I don’t think I can ever quit now that I know how much fun acting is.
Juza. …I know right.
Muku: I have to focus on our upcoming play first before the race.
Juza: We’ve gotta catch up after causing troubles like that.
Muku: Let’s do our best!
Juza: Man, this place sure is out of this world…
Azami: Freakin’ spacious.
Izumi: It’s more gorgeous than the photos… Oh, right. Thanks for coming with us, Azami-kun.
Azami: Nah, no need to thank me. I wanted to see the dressing room since I’ll be doing y'all makeup.
Kazunari: Mukkun, you’re not getting seasick or anything, right?
Muku: Yep. I’m alright. I already took some medicine, and it’s not like we’re riding a small boat where we can feel its motion.
Saionji: I’ve been expecting you. My name is Saionji.
Izumi: My name is Tachibana. Nice to meet you.
Muku: (Hm? I feel like I’ve seen this person before…)
Saionji: I’d like to offer my gratitude for accepting our request.
Izumi:I should be the one thanking you for offering us such an amazing request like this.
It’s not everyday we get the chance to perform in a place like this. I’m grateful for it.
Saionji: I’m also attempting a lot of new things. I don’t usually hold a jewel showcase…
Since this is the first time it’ll be showcased in Japan, I chose this ship as the venue so that a lot of people can see it.
And because I want people to also enjoy the cruise, I decided to hold it for several days and considered adding more activities throughout the journey.
That was how someone suggested I hold a stage play here.
Due to that, I went around the Veludo Way by myself in search of a theater troupe.
Izumi: I see.
Muku: Oh! Are you perhaps the person who dropped his cufflinks the other day…!?
Saionji: Thank you for picking it up at that time.
Muku: N-No problem!
Sakyo: You know each other?
Saionji: He helped me when I was walking around the Veludo Way. I’ve got to know Mankai Company because of him.
I looked it up afterward and decided to offer you a request to perform here. It just so happened that my acquaintance was also bringing you up.
I believe it might be fate after knowing that my acquaintance’s son is also a member of your theater troupe.
Kazunari: Are you talking about my papi!?
Sakyo: Receiving an offer after helping someone…
Yuki: That’s just so Muku.
Banri: Sounds like something that comes out of the Straw Millionaire*.
Muku: Ehehe…
Come to think of it, I remember some jewels are embedded in the cufflinks.
Saionji: That’s right. You have a good memory.
Muku: I remember it because it’s so beautiful.
Saionji:Right. Why don’t you all participate in the jewel unveiling while we’re at it?
Since the unveiling will be held a day after the closing show, I’d like you all to stay one day longer here…
Muku: Can we, really?
Izumi: Thank you so much!
Juza: Jewels in a luxurious ship… That’s just like our play.
Kazunari: It won’t be weird if some thieves come to steal it.
Sakyo:The setting is just perfect. We won’t have any issues making the audience immersed in the play like this.
Muku:Now we only need to do our best!
Juza: We’ve gotta focus.
Saionji: …Oh, I almost forgot. Tachibana-san…
Izumi:Yes?
T/N: The Straw Millionaire is a Japanese Buddhist folk tale about a poor man who becomes wealthy through a series of successive trades, starting with a single piece of straw.
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?
