Keito: How incorrigible. Why on earth are you suddenly adding new characters to the story this late in the game? We’ll be performing the musical this weekend.
Leo: I couldn’t help it~ My pen just moved on its own!
But it’s okay! I know you’ll be able to do it, Keito! I’m cheering you on! Ah, I’ll even compose a cheer for you — something that’ll give you tons of energy~♪
Keito: I have no need for such things. I reject this script. We’ll continue to use the version we have been up until now.
Leo: No, no! I couldn’t stand releasing an incomplete work of art into the world! We’re deeefinitely using this version of the script — no ifs, ands or buts! Grrrr!
Tomoya: Um… In terms of content, I think the script that we just received is better.
Leo: Riiight? You get it, Shiro! Alriiight, I’m gonna give you a buncha pats ♪
Tomoya: Please don’t pat me like a dog…! Uuu, my hair’s a mess now.
We don’t have enough actors for this script, though. And even if I tried to ask around, we don’t really have much time…
Wataru: In that case, we’ll have Anzu-san fill in the extra role for us.
Tomoya: …Huh?
Keito: What nonsense do you think you’re spouting? Look, Anzu’s rather perplexed as well.
Wataru: I don’t believe there are any issues with this plan. In terms of her lines and songs, I’ll support her with my vocal mimicry skills should she falter.
All you need to do is move in synchrony with me atop the stage. Will you allow me to request this of you?
I assure you that there is no need to worry. Now, we haven’t much time — allow me, Hibiki Wataru, to meticulously train you.
And so the hunter becomes the hunted. Or, in this case, the observed becomes the observer, I suppose? Fufufu…☆
Scene Change: Theater
(After the musical ends)
Tomoya: Thank you for your hard work. The musical was a huge hit because of you, Anzu-san.
…You think it’s more thanks to Hibiki-senpai than yourself? I thought your acting was really good, though.
But, yeah, you’re right. I have a feeling this performance wouldn’t have been a success without Hibiki-senpai.
Normally, he just bugs me — he’s just the annoying Masked Pervert.
But I really do respect him when it comes to his acting skills, or the part of him that’s an entertainer who can make people happy.
I’m not just gonna admire him, though. One day, I'm gonna catch up to his distant back…
As an actor, I wanna be his equal in the truest sense of the word.
Ah, but keep this all secret, okay? I don’t even wanna think about what Hibiki-senpai would say if he heard me—
Wataru: You called?
Tomoya: Uwaah!? W-When did you get here…? Were you listening to that?
Wataru: To what, pray tell?
Tomoya: N-No, it’s nothing. Good, I guess you really didn’t hear. I’m gonna go see Hokuto-senpai, bye!
Wataru: Oh? It almost appeared as if he were running away from me.
In any case, I truly thank you for obliging my sudden request for you to perform with us, Anzu-san. Please accept this bouquet…☆
Now, why are you thanking me? …You realized which direction you wanted to take the Personalized Outfit due to this performance?
Ah, so you drew up a design right after the show ended. Do allow me to take a look…
Hoho, I see you used clowns as the central motif… It's very eye-catching. Did my form — the vision of me performing as an entertainer atop the stage — leave such a strong impression on you?
Amazing! The ideal I seek is to become an entertainer who brings happiness and laughter to people. Thank you very much for designing an ensemble that aligns with my wishes☆
And I assure you that this isn’t flattery — not in the slightest. I, too, believed that such a design would be perfect for me. As proof of that statement…
Could I have you flip over the message card that came with the bouquet I just gave you?
A picture is drawn on it, correct? The red and green coloring, the three-pronged tailcoats, the frills on the sleeves… Oh my, I have a feeling we’ve seen something like this before ♪
What a truly wonderful coincidence for us to have drawn the same image. Perhaps we have some sort of telepathic connection?
Fufufu. Your eyes have gone wide; you appear to be quite shocked. It looks like my surprise was a great success.
Naturally, I didn’t secretly peek at your design at all. I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that I was almost constantly on stage during the performance.
And I had been sending off the audience members until only just recently; I didn’t have the time to draw something like this.
“In that case, when did you draw it,” you ask? I’m afraid I can’t tell you that. It wouldn’t be very interesting for me to reveal all the secrets behind my tricks so easily, now would it?
There are times when secrets should be left that way, unexposed.
If you simply must know the answer, why don’t you continue to gather material on me? Please observe me closely until my Personalized Outfit is fully completed.
And, thus, let us work together to create the image of myself reflected in your eyes — the image that depicts me exactly as I am…♪
