Kumon: …
*door opens*
Kazunari: Hey, what’s hanging?
I wonder if anyone's here?
Misumi: Ah, Kumon’s here~!
Muku: What are you watching there, Kyu-chan?
Kumon: Videos from “Journey to the Colours”!
I thought I’d re-watch them before the screening party.
I was still a high school student back then, huh~?
That’s a blast from the past~.
Kazunari: Oof, not sure enough time has passed for you to be saying that, fam!
*notification sound*
Kumon: Ah! It’s a LIME from Yamaguchi!
Muku: Is Yamaguchi-kun doing well?
Kumon: Yep!
We’re gonna play backyard baseball together next time!
Muku: It’s great you’re still close after starting university.
Kazunari: If they're gonna play a backyard baseball game, should we go cheer them on again?
Misumi: Let’s go, let’s go~!
Kumon: Really!? That’d be awesome! Thanks, guys!
But we have do to the screening party first!
Muku: I’m looking forward to that too!
Kazunari: Is Gucchi gonna come to the screening?
Kumon: He said he’d pass since it’s not an actual performance~.
Misumi: Aw~, that's too bad!
-pause-
Kazunari: Yay! Rocking the long hair again~!
Misumi: I have red hair~.
Kumon: Sumi-san’s red hair looks so fresh!
“Journey to the Colours” is great ‘cause we get such bold hairstyles. Azami never misses!
Of course the colourful costumes Yuki made are the best too!
Yuki: Yes, yes. I know.
Izumi: It’s almost time, everyone.
Are you ready?
Kumon: Ah, hey! It’s been a while, but since we’re wearing our costumes, let’s do a huddle!
C’mon, gather ‘round, everyone~!
Misumi: I’m down. Let’s do it~!
Yuki: It’s not a play though.
Kumon: Man, it’s too bad Ginkaku and Kinkaku aren’t here…
Yuki: Well, those two are the bad guys.
Kazunari: Right!
Misumi: Lead the cheer, Kumon~!
Kumon: Alriiight. Here goes…
LET’S GO, TO TENJIKU!
Troupe members: YEAH~!
-pause-
Kazunari: Everyone~, thanks for coming today!
Kumon: We were just talking about this in the dressing room, but it kinda feels like we’re missing something without Kinkaku and Ginkaku here… sorry about that!
Yuki: It’s fine this way.
If they were here, they’d be calling me char siu.
Audience: Ahaha!
Kumon: Hey, Ginkaku would say that, but Muku wouldn’t!
We may be wearing our costumes today, but we’re not acting like our characters!
Misumi: That might be fun too though~?
Kumon: You mean speaking in character?
If we did that, then this whole thing would become improv—.
Kazunari: …Goku, please. Quiet down.
Kumon: HUH!?
Kazu-san totally transformed into my Master…!
Misumi: Goku’s bouncing off the walls like usual.
Kumon: WHAAA!?
Now Sumi-san’s Gojo…!?
Guest A: Ahaha, that’s the Summer troupe experience!
Guest B: They’re the best!
Yuki: See, we’re getting off track now.
Goku, I mean, Kumon. Pivot back.
Kumon: Right! Um… what should we talk about?
Maybe some behind the scenes stories from the show?
Yuki: In that case, you have to say something about your time as the lead.
Kumon: You think~!? Lemme see… I guess it was really fun getting to do proper action scenes with Summer troupe~.
It felt cool having Banri and nii-chan train us too.
It was super exciting for all of us to use long weapons and do fight scenes together!
Misumi: It also felt new having an enemy team in one of our plays~.
Kazunari: I know, right! Paul from Sky Pirates was all alone in the first run. I was super jealous Tenten and Mukkun got to be a team~!
Yuki: In Summer troupe’s plays, I guess we appear more often as one team rather than splitting up into enemies and allies.
Kumon: During the run of this show, I was supported by not only my co-lead Kazu-san, but also everyone else in the Summer Troupe during both the rehearsals and on stage.
I’m truly happy that I get to act together with Summer troupe in this theatre company! Once again, thank you so much for everything!
Kazunari: Kumopi…!
Misumi: I’m glad you’re here too, Kumon~!
Yuki: I can’t believe he can say all that without feeling embarrassed.
"I know I-l don't say this enough hanoka-san, but I'm glad to have you in my life. You're the best thing that's happened to it, even at the lowest point when I wanted to give up over everyone looking down on me due to me being an outsider it thanks to you I-l no longer feel lonely or miserable"
She looks down at Karin finishing up some tea for her and Karin to enjoy together. When hearing Karin’s words spoken, this made her show a small smile looking at her. One hand got lifted up and pets the top of Karin’s head. “I’m glad to hear that sweetie because your happiness is all I ever wish for. Seeing you living your life and trying to be the best you can be is good for me. I’m glad to have you in my life as well, Karin dear. I just hope we can still be close like a family if you wish.” she laughed happily to boop Karin’s nose.
