"Whatever it may be, you look so cool, Sengoku! You’re glittering and shining bright right now!"
[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]
Season: Spring
Location: Amusement Park Stage
Several days later, at a certain stage at an event venue…
Chiaki: Whoa!? Did you see that, Nagumo!? The way Sengoku just multiplied into five!?
Tetora: You don’t gotta say it, I can tell just by watchin’. Is he using holograms?
Hm…? But the other Shinobu-kuns are fighting against the other actors too… Huh? What kinda stage trick is being used here?
Sora: HaHa~♪ There are so many Shinobu-chans!
Chiaki: Whatever it may be, you look so cool, Sengoku! You’re glittering and shining bright right now!
Don’t get caught by the bad guys! Don’t lose now, Sengoku!
Tetora: …This guy seriously always gets loud whenever we watch these sorta things together. I’m real sorry that our member here is so noisy, Sora-kun.
Sora: Sora doesn’t mind~! Besides, Sora understands Blazing Oniisan’s happy feelings!
Watching Shisho~ and Shinobu-chan’s performance is super-duper fun!
Tetora: Ahaha, it’s not like I don’t understand the feeling, y’know.
I get the feeling that Sakasaki-senpai really pulled out all his stops. You seriously can feel Shinobu-kun’s passion for ninjas from this stage show.
Sora: Yes! Sora can tell Shisho~ and Shinobu-chan both had a lot of fun preparing for this today~!
Tetora: It feels like I’m learning a lot about stage production just from watching the show. I’m glad I came ♪
Chiaki: I wish Takamine and Kanata could have come as well, though. They had work, though, so it couldn't be helped.
Sora: Ah, look at that! Shinobu-chan jumped up super high, huh~? Flew into the air, just like a birdie!
Chiaki: Whoa! Now there’s fire blazing up! This time, fire blazed up. Is this the Blazing Escape jutsu?![1]
Sora: HiHi~! The fire’s color changed! So amazing~! ♪
Shinobu: (Heheh. Judging by the audience's reactions, this stage show ended up being a huge success!)
(Everyone must have felt the charm of ninjas conveyed to them...!)
Natsume: HeYA, Shinobu-kun. Great work todAY.
Shinobu: Thank you for your hard work as well, Sakasaki-dono!
Natsume: I’m pleased to see the performance turned out to be more exciting than imaginED. WeLL, it was due to my heLP, so I suppose that much should be a givEN.
Shinobu: Mhm! It’s all completely thanks to your carefully curated stage production for me that everyone was so fired up!
Natsume: …What a pure soul you aRE, Shinobu-kun. It’s hard to react when I’m being agreed with so straightforwardLY, you knOW.
Shinobu: It was so exciting to see the flames change from red to yellow to blue to orange for the Blazing Escape jutsu![1]
And afterwards, it felt like I was using a real Summoning and Shadow Clone jutsu[2], and it felt exhilarating when you used the wire for the Flying Squirrel jutsu![3]
It really made all of the kids’ eyes twinkle in the audience, so I’m as pleased as can be!
Once again, I thank you so much for lending me your services for this stage ♪
Natsume: FuFU, if you are pleased then I am as weLL.
It gave me the chance to experiment with production techniques I wanted to teST, tOO.
NoW, our debts are evEN. If you ever tell anyone about the existence of the secret roOM, thEN…
You might end up as my next test subject for my experimenTS, so careful not to let anything sLIP, got iT? ♪
Shinobu: U-Understood! My lips are sealed from here on out!
Come to think of it, how did you explain the matter to Yuuki-dono and the others?
It seemed like Fushimi-dono was still unconvinced about this and that...
Natsume: AhH, about thAT. I passed it off as a prank show in where I was the conspiratOR.
Something about how I had set up mechanisms within Starmony Dorms that led to a cursed item being fouND, and filmed iT.
HowevER, the end result turned out to be similar to other participants in the prank shOW.
And since a prank show was recently filmed in the dormitory alreaDY, they decided to shelve iT.[4]
Shinobu: So you disguised it as a fake program, huh… And they believed that?
Natsume: Yuuki-kun and Hiiro-kun believed me without batting an eyeLID. As expectED, Butler-kun, howevER, was suspicious until the very eND, bUT…
No follow-up investigation was done in the eND. I suppose you could say he doesn’t pose any threat as of nOW?
AnyhOW, the matter is resolved one way or anothER. And fortunateLY, you and I have become accomplices in those who know about the secret roOM.
Shinobu: When you say “accomplice,” it feels somewhat shady…
But, it has a cool feeling to it too.
Natsume: WeLL, I do plan to tell Sora about it soON, so it wont just be a secret between just you and I once I dO.
But that being saID, I hope to continue being on good terms with you now that we are fellow accomplicES.
…I’ve been astonished by your information and intelligence gathering skills throughout this entire ordeAL, after aLL.
It’s possible that I’ll need your services some time in the futuRE.
Shinobu: Heheh, it’s a really big honor to hear something like that coming from you, Sakasaki-dono!
Of course, if you ever have a problem, please feel free to call on me!
Ah, but I am a ninja of justice! So I cannot lend a hand for anything sinister!
Natsume: Hm? WhAT, do you think I’m involved in evil thinGS, Shinobu-kun?
Shinobu: Huh? That’s not what I meant! Really!
Natsume: …FufuFU, you really are an interesting oNE.
Once agaIN, I look forward to working with you in the futuRE… Reliable Ninja-kun. ♪

Man decided to jump into the closet after fighting with Izumi and refused to leave until he got an apology from him😭😂. This is hilarious. I live for Shu and Izumi interactions. They always make me laugh.
