“La Verite of Flowers” - CHAPTER 7"

Kazunari: Thank god we came to have a first look at the venue!
Banri: Looks like they’ve also started decorating, so now we get a better image of the place.
Since this is a high-class hotel, I had imagined the clientele’s general age range is also pretty high up, but…
Looking around, it looks like there’s some students within the crowd too.
Kazunari: Tea-time activities have become pretty trendy lately after all~
Banri: It’s trendy enough within our group too.
Kazunari: That is just role study, pinky swear~
Banri: If it’s like this, then I could discuss with Director-chan to make the play be a bit more casual and comedic…
All while keeping the serious tempo in there to help with contrast. That’d be sound.
Kazunari: True! If we do it like that, then I think even the younger audience will be able to enjoy it.
Banri: ‘Kay, since that’s decided on, we can head back and get to practice.
Kazunari: Ah! Hang on hang on!
There’s also something that I want to check out!

Banri: Heeh, this is the hotel’s garden? The flowers are all in bloom, even though it’s the middle of winter.
Kazunari: It’s sooo adorbs! It’s just as the hotel reviews said!

Banri: Tsumugi-san would love this.
Kazunari: You’re not wrong there ♪

Okay! Got enough pics I could upload to Inste now.
Best to make the most out of the official hashtag, so I’m collecting as much as I can.
Banri: As expectedly thorough of you.
Kazunari: Settsuar, you should really update more often~! Your Inste numbers could really grow!
Banri: Fine, fine. Might as well if they’re releasing the announcement post tonight.
Kazunari: Exactly! They’ll post it right after the end of our rehearsals, so it’ll be just the right timing~

Izumi: Alright! Thanks to Banri-kun’s suggestion, I think this turned out better than before.
Misumi: It’s a lot more fun doing it like this~!
Sakuya: Same here! I think having a bit more comedy in it makes it more interesting!
Azuma: Good job surveying at the venue. Thanks, you two.
Kazunari: Ah! Did the play information get announced yet? We could check out everyone’s reactions on the hashtag now.
Tsumugi: You’re right. Let’s hurry and take a look.
Kazunari: Searching it up now…
Izumi: Ah. “Female roles for Azuma-san and Masumi-kun will be too powerful!”, says one of them.
Misumi: “Sakuya-kun in a dress will surely be adorable~!!”, they said!
Masumi: “Misumi-kun seems like he’d act really great in a female role.” “I absolutely want to see Kazunari-kun’s Marie Antoinette!”
Izumi: There are a lot of positive reactions! I’m thankful to see all this excitement.
Sakuya: It’s kinda relieving to see. It’s getting me even more motivated!
Banri: Uhm, that’s real fine and all, but……
Tsumugi: This is……..
Izumi: ??
“That means Banri-kun’s gonna do a female role, right?” “That’s really surprising! I can’t even imagine~”

Sakuya: “I kinda wanna see Banri-kun acting as Marie Antoinette’s double!”; “I did want to see Tsumugi-san in a female role, but I’m excited to see his Fersen too!!”
Kazunari: Somehow the reactions for Settsuar and Tsumu-Tsumu makes it sound like their roles got reversed. How did that happen?
Azuma: Let’s confirm at the hotel’s announcement.
Sakuya: …The advertisement they uploaded listed the casting with Banri as the servant, and Tsumugi-san as Fersen instead!
Tsumugi: You’re right…
Izumi: A-Anyway, I’ll go contact the organizer!
[door closes]
Banri: Me as the servant, and Tsumugi-san as Fersen…….
Azuma: I wonder if this was a mistake. But if they can make the correction as soon as possible, it should turn out fine.
Masumi: She already went to contact them after all.
Sakuya: Yeah, it’ll be fine.
Kazunari: But y’know, the reactions are good and all, but there’s lots of speculations coming up too—
Masumi: Well, any publicity is good publicity.
Misumi: "MANKAI COMPANY tackling a doomed love story? Eh, that's different from what I imagine!"
Tsumugi: “I hear Banri-kun will play the role of a servant who seduces Marie Antoinette.”
Sakuya: “Somehow this story sounds too heavy… You’d have to be brave to watch it.”
Tsumugi: They’re posting reactions about the story too, but they’re mentioning things that aren’t even written in the synopsis.
Kazunari: Mhm, I did some digging up…
Seems like they’re basing it on predictions from Marie Antoinette’s references, and the rumors are spreading on their own.
Misumi: Really…..
Sakuya: I know that everyone is only running wild with their imaginations, but…
Azuma: I suppose this just one of the cause-and-effects of publicity. Though this is proof enough there are people looking forward to it.
Sakuya: I see… You’re right!
Misumi: Then we better practice some more~
Banri: ……
Tsumugi: (Banri-kun….?)
