*Footsteps*

Banri: …

Izumi: There you are, Banri-kun.

Izumi: Good work with the finale. You were a huge help as the assistant director.

Banri: Good work to you too, Director-chan.

Izumi: Following Spring Troupe, Summer Troupe sure had a lot going on during their rehearsals…

Banri: I’ve leveled up in schedulin’ thanks to that.

Izumi: Your experience as assistant director has definitely gone up, Banri-kun, but Summer Troupe was also a “challenge” because of all of them gaining more experience.

Banri: If things had been how they were back durin’ their debut, we never woulda made it through the performance. Each of ‘em took on a challenge and did a great job bringin’ that experience back with ‘em.

Izumi: It’s Autumn Troupe’s turn next.

Banri: Yeah.

Banri: …If I keep up with the rehearsals as assistant director, I can already imagine how things are gonna look on openin’ day.

Banri: But with Spring Troupe ‘n Summer Troupe… Both on their openin’ days and durin’ the finales, their performances were even more movin’ than they were durin’ rehearsals.

Banri: They’ve already taken several steps towards the New Fleur Award.

Banri: Maybe there’s just some kinda power up on stage at MANKAI Theater or somethin’, but…

Banri: I really felt the significance of ‘em performin’ a continuation of their debut performances after each of ‘em has grown so much as actors.

Izumi: Yeah… I think the sequels have affected the troupe members more than anyone thought they would.

Banri: I was also pretty impressed by how Summer Troupe was “challengin’” each other to achieve their own dreams since they usually get along pretty well with each other.

Banri: Even Muku ‘n Kumon stuck to goin’ to that harsh workshop.

Izumi: You don’t want to lose to them, do you, Banri-kun? Autumn Troupe is a group of competitive people led by its leader.

Banri: Yeah, we’ll grow just as much as Spring and Summer did. I’m sure that’s what the rest of ‘em are plannin’ on doin’.

Izumi: I thought so.

Tsuzuru: Ughh. I’m all for Arisugawa-san complimenting my scripts, but I really can’t deal with him when he gets drunk and starts sobbing while he’s talking…

Banri: Good work.

Izumi: Welcome.

Tsuzuru: Is this the directors’ cast party? 

Banri: Somethin’ like that.

Tsuzuru: I was actually looking for you two, so this is perfect. I’ve finished writing the script for the sequel to Autumn Troupe’s debut, but--.

Izumi: You’re done already!?

Banri: Ain’t that like your fastest time yet?

Tsuzuru: I knew we would be doing a sequel to Picaresque, so I’ve been planning it out for a while now…

Tsuzuru: And I didn’t get any requests from you guys other than for it to have a lot of action, so it was pretty easy for me to just get going on it.

Tsuzuru: Basically everyone said that the Picaresque characters are supposed to just be free and live as they please.

Banri: But still, you got it done like way too fast. We’ve still got forever until the performance yet.

Tsuzuru: I just wanted to write the continuation of Picaresque as soon as possible.

Tsuzuru: I was curious about how the debut performance characters were doing now too. 

Izumi: Things were pretty rough back during the debut.

Tsuzuru: I remember back when Autumn Troupe first formed, you let me observe one of their rehearsals to help me think up the script.

Izumi: I remember that.

Tsuzuru: It wasn’t just how Banri had been chosen as leader that helped me come up with the whole buddy thing, it was how Juza asked to have a major role in the play too that helped me with it.

Izumi: I told you that if we put Juza-kun, who had the strongest feelings about the play, on center stage, the whole play might’ve been transformed.

Tsuzuru: And that’s exactly what happened… You said that it was Juza’s growth that created a burning heat right in the middle of Autumn Troupe.

Tsuzuru: I was influenced by your stance of believing in the feelings of the actors and entrusting the roles to them, Director. And as a scriptwriter, I really felt the meaning of leaving the roles in the care of the actors.

Banri: Just how much did you talk about behind our backs?

Banri: Hyodo was nothin’ more than just an amateur back when we started rehearsin’ the fundamentals. I can’t believe you let Hyodo take all that shit on… Seems way too risky to me.

Banri: Seriously, Director-chan…

Tsuzuru: …But that’s what’s great about her.

Banri: You’re right. That’s our Director-chan.

Izumi: Back then, the company had nothing but all the troupe members we had gathered. No track record, nothing…

Izumi: That’s why all I could do was trust and leave things to him. And doing so got us this far, so I think doing that was a great decision!

Izumi: And I know that what I’ve been doing hasn’t changed since.

Izumi: Generally speaking, the most important thing is keeping an eye on the actors. Think about what kind of feelings you want them to be putting into rehearsals and into plays.

Izumi: Keep giving it your all to try and understand them. That’s what I believe is important.

Banri: You’re damn right about that. I dunno know if I’ll ever be able to beat you in terms of believin’ in people, though, Director-chan.

Tsuzuru: Banri actually admitting defeat, that’s rare to see.

Izumi: I’m proud of you.

Banri: Aight, now keep an eye on us Autumn Troupe guys as best you can, sound good?

Izumi: Of course.

Tsuzuru: We’re leaving it to you.

Banri: Yeah.

Banri: (...“Picaresque Returns”.)

Banri: (I’ve never been so moved in my life. A continuation of our debut performance… I can finally live in the world of Picaresque again.)

Banri: (I’ll give this to Autumn Troupe first thing tomorrow… There’s still a lotta time left, but I’m gonna have to set up a training schedule and then see what we can do from there…)

Banri: (...It’s about time for me to meet up with that guy too.)
