“RISSHUN・Setsubun Festival" - CHAPTER 8"



Tsuzuru: …..Mm.
Kazunari: Ah, Tsuzuroon? You coming to?
Tsuzuru: Miyoshi-san….. I. I collapsed, didn’t I?
Sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused…
Kazunari: I wasn’t expecting you to apologize that earnestly about it…..
Tsuzuru: That’s the unexpected part for you? …Well, still, all of this was because I didn’t take care of myself as much as I should’ve.
And after all the times you kept checking on me and asking if I was really fine, I still brushed it off each time…
Kazunari: You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. I only wished I could’ve done a better job at stopping you once I realized something was wrong.
…..Though, is it fine for me to say something first?
Tsuzuru: Miyoshi-san?
Kazunari: Take better care of yourself, Tsuzuroon. Please.
When we talked about the past with Kuraki-sensei, there was a reason you couldn’t enter the theatre club as a full-fledge member back then——
And because you didn’t get the chance to actually enjoy your time with the theatre club back then, I’ve got a feeling that you want to make the most and have fun with it now.
But still, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice yourself along with it.



Tsuzuru: …….
Kazunari: I say that now, but whenever I’d get into drawing, I’d end up mismanaging my own health too. I’m sure this will become a big boomerang effect on me one of these days…
But wasn't it you that said at the start: You’re the one who wanted everyone to lend their strength in this.
Tsuzuru: …..!!
I.. I guess I did, huh.
Kazunari: That’s why you don’t have to hold back. Everyone’s here because they want to lend that strength to you, alright?
Tsuzuru: …It’s not like I ever intended to hold back from doing so. Making plays for everyone— for those two kids in the theatre club, and MANKAI Company both, it’s a lot of fun for me.
I was just… Too into it, I guess. Before I knew it, I was carrying everything on my shoulders.
Kazunari: Took you long enough to realize!
Tsuzuru: …Yeah.
Kazunari: Then you better let everyone lighten the load for you from now on! Promise?
Tsuzuru: Of course.

Tsuzuru: Sorry everyone, I’m back——
Kuraki: Minagi! Are you alright?
Oohara: How are you feeling!?
Tsuzuru: I’m a lot better now after getting some rest.
I’m really sorry for making everyone worry.
Juza: If you’re fine now, then it’s all good.
Tasuku: Don’t go pushing yourself, alright?
Tsuzuru: Huh? That large prop being repaired… Did I break that?
Kazunari: You…. may or may not have broken it, yeah….
Citron: It was a splendid destruction indeed!
Tsuzuru: Uwaaaa! I’m really sorry…!!!!
Tasuku: Those guys are overexaggerating. The damage isn’t as serious as it looks, so don’t fret.
Juza: The repairs are almost done too.
Azami: Oh by the way, I already contacted the Director, but—
(DOOR SLIDING)
Izumi: TSUZURU-KUN!?
Tsuzuru: Director? I thought you said you couldn’t come because you had some other business today—
Izumi: I did but— H-Huh? You seem just fine now, Tsuzuru-kun.
Tsuzuru: For now, I am, yes.
Izumi: Phew…. That’s good then. When I heard you collapsed, I rushed as soon as possible.
Azami: I was telling you he might’ve just needed some sleep…
Izumi: I was still worried sick! I even brought the car to get here.
I should’ve noticed sooner that Tsuzuru-kun had been overdoing himself recently. I’m sorry…
Tsuzuru: It’s not your fault at all, Director!!
Izumi: No, I was the one who put you in charge of things here, so I feel some responsibility in letting you handle everything.
In any case, why don’t you rest up at home for today? I’ve got my car to take you——
Tasuku: Hold. on. You’re not the one driving on the way back home, are you, Director?
Izumi: Eh? That’s what I meant by it, yeah——
Tasuku: No, leave the driving to me… It’s likely Minagi’s condition will worsen if we let you take the wheel.
Izumi: Now what do you mean by that, Tasuku-san!!
Tsuzuru: Ahaha, I’ll be in your care then, Takato-san.
