???: Its dangerous, so make sure to hold onto our hands.
Sakuya: Okay!
???: Come take a look, Sakuya. The ocean continues on to the other side.
Sakuya: The ocean is so big!
???: That's right.
???: Did you know, Sakuya? In this town--
.....
Citron: …uya… Sakuya... Are you alright?
Sakuya: ...ngh.
Sakuya: Huh...? Why am I...?
Citron: You had been crying in your sleep. Did you have a scary dream?
Sakuya: ….I can't remember much of it but I think it was about something nostalgic. It made me feel lonely…
Citron: A nostalgic dream? Was it the time when the Big Bang created the universe?~
Sakuya: I don’t think it was from that long ago..!
Citron: Oh! We must eat breakfast soon, or we’ll miss practice!
Sakuya: You’re right! Let’s hurry!
....…
Misumi: Wasn’t that guy with the enemy?
Muku: Who is he?
Tenma: Wait, what IS your name?
Sakuya: Oh, my name is Saku.
Tenma: Right, apparently, this guy’s searching for the planet he was born on.
Izumi: (Rehearsals for the second part are going smoothly because of the success from the first half. The advantage of having a second part is that we can make use of both strong and weak points from the first half.)
Izumi: (The members that appeared in the first part of the play already feel comfortable with their roles because of their prior appearance, and since the Spring Troupe members finally get to make their appearance in the second part, they have a high level of enthusiasm.)
Izumi: (Everyone’s collective energies is creating a good atmosphere in the practice room.)
Izumi: Let’s take a short break.
Chikage: Since the atmosphere of the play has already been set from the beginning, everything has a fresh and different feel from the usual.
Itaru: I’m getting excited now that the costumes are complete.
These men (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Tsuzuru: Well, this IS the kind of fantasy feel you love after all.
Itaru: I've been found out.
Citron: Itaru is easy to understand.
Sakuya: I’m so happy I finally get to perform with the spring troupe!
Citron: Now, you will no longer feel lonely, Sakuya! Dreaming of the Big Bang will only make you cry.
Tsuzuru: What the? How are those two things even connected?!
Sakuya: I can’t remember exactly how it went but I don’t think it was about the Big Bang!
Izumi: Is it true that you cried from your dream?
Sakuya: Oh…well… It’s a dream that I’ve been having every now and then.
Sakuya: The scenery is unfamiliar to me... but it’s not a scary dream though.
Citron: If Sakuya cries from his dreams again, all of the members of the Spring Troupe are required to gather in room 101.
Sakuya: But everything is okay though!
Chikage: I’ll be there anytime if it’s for our leader.
Tsuzuru: No need to be shy about it Sakuya.
Masumi: I’ll go if I’m awake.
Itaru: Yeah… he’s definitely not coming.
...…
Masumi: Should we get started?
Izumi: Hmm, let’s wait a bit longer… In anticipation of the performance soon, this afternoon—
*Door opens*
Rento: Yo.
Akashi: …Um, sorry to bother you.
Izumi: Oh, hey you guys!
Izumi: Thanks again for providing the wonderful lighting during the first part of the performance!
Izumi: It’s because of you guys, that we were able to take our production to a higher level, and the audience absolutely loved it.
Rento: Well, ain’t that swell.
Akashi: N-No, it was nothing… Izumi… it’s because you gave me such wonderful colors…
Masumi: Too close.
Akashi: ?!
Izumi: Masumi?
Masumi: Four meters away.
Izumi: Why?!
Itaru: The Masumi sensor went off.
Citron: A forecast of the storm of love!
Kazunari: Renton!
Rento: Hey! I brought over the CD that I bought the other day.
Kazunari: Yippee! Gimme gimme!
Izumi: (As expected of the two with high social skills, they became friends before I knew it.)
Tetsuro: …
Izumi: Tetsuro! Didn’t see you there!
Tetsuro: …
Akashi: Ah…
Izumi: (I wonder if they’re seeing each other eye to eye? Maybe they’d get along well since they’re both the quiet type.)
Tenma: Both Tetsuro and our two new guys sure have strong personalities.
Rento: The troupe members here are also characters.
Yuki: Can’t deny that.
Izumi: You guys are all reliable though because of your skills.
Rento: It’s a small theater, so we can only do so much but let’s make the second half even better than the first.
Akashi: I-I’ll do my best…
Izumi: Now that you mention it, it would be nice if we could upgrade our equipment a bit more.
Rento: Yeah, you’re right… last time I brought in my own equipment.
Izumi: But, if we can make this performance a success, we may be able to renovate the theater and level up in various ways!
Rento: Well then, let’s do our best.
Kazunari: Does this mean you’ll continue working with us?
Rento: Well, I’ll do it as long as I don’t get fired.
Akashi: Ah, me too
Izumi: Great!
Izumi: Alright, first, I’d like to reintroduce you to the leading roles of the second half of the show, starting with Sakuya.
Sakuya: I’m Sakuya Sakuma and I’m the lead for the second half of the show. Once again, I look forward to working with you.
Rento: Yea, nice to meet’cha.
Akashi: What bright… colors.
Izumi: (In addition to the high level motivation, the staff has been strengthened, and the interpretation the troupe members have of their roles have deepened through the success of the first half.)
Izumi: (If we can progress without a hitch until the curtains open, our second half will definitely be a success as well!)
.....
*Phone rings*
Reni: …
Yukio: Hello?
Reni: It’s me, kamikizaka.
Yukio: Reni?! Oh, thank god… I need you to listen to me!
Reni: Huh? What’s wrong?
Yukio: My daughter came to see my play the other day!
Reni: O...oh… I see.
Yukio: I was happy when you and I talked over the phone but I'd didn't think I'd be able to see my daughter in person too. It made me really happy.
Yukio: This show was super important to me because it was my last performance in that theater. I’m so glad my daughter got to see it.
Yukio: Now, I’ve moved to a new town and joined theater troupe here. It’s hard work but it’s fulfilling.
Yukio: I‘ve got to admit though, seeing my daughter made me miss everyone else in Japan.
Reni: …I’ll bring you back to Japan. That’s what I promised you.
Yukio: Yeah… Oh, speaking of which, what’s up with you today?
Reni: Actually, there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about.
Reni: I was talking with Kashima regarding your disappearance and heard that you left the theater world due to “certain circumstances”.
Reni: I didn’t get to ask you directly the last time we talked but I ended up hearing about the incident from Kusumi Ikaruga.
Reni: With the help of Syu, I managed to get some information which led me to a certain person.
Reni: I understand you are keeping silent for the sake of your troupe’s members here in Japan. However, in order to properly corner the opponent, I need this information.
Reni: I want you to believe in me and tell me the truth.
Yukio: …
Reni: If my understanding of the situation is correct, then the one who banished you from the theater world in Japan was—
