Others: Meguru, Manager
Classmate: Say, we're going to play at the park after school, wanna come?
Tsuzuru: Hmm, I’ll pass.
Classmate: Cram school? Studying?
Tsuzuru: There's a book I want to borrow, so I'm going to the library.
Classmate: Hmm.
Tsuzuru: See you later.
Classmare: See you. Bye bye.
Upperclassman A: Ah, there he is.
Upperclassman B: It's him right.
Tsuzuru: ?
Upperclassman A: Say, you're Meguru-kun's little brother right?
Tsuzuru: Eh… I am.
Upperclassman B: Wanna join our team?
Upperclassman A: You good at soccer?
Tsuzuru: N-No, I won’t join. I'm just average at soccer too.
Upperclassman A: Heh. We're going to play soccer at the school yard right now, wanna join?
Tsuzuru: Um, I'm going to the library…
Upperclassman B: Then, some other time.
Tsuzuru: (I guess they're fifth graders like Meguru. They look nothing like us first years, they're a bit scary too…)
Tsuzuru: --.
Upperclassman A: Ah, he left.
Upperclassman B: See you.
Tsuzuru: (So even the fifth graders know I'm Meguru's little brother. I wonder if he told them himself…)
~~~
Teacher: Gather around. Today for P.E we will be playing soccer.
Teacher: Oh, you're Minagi's little brother right. Your teammates will be lucky.
Tsuzuru: (Why did he have to go and say that…)
Classmate A: Who is Minagi?
Classmate B: Minagi Meguru from fifth grade, he's super good at soccer.
Classmate C: Eh! You're Minagi Meguru's brother!? Amazing!
Tsuzru: No, that's not really…
~~~
Classmate A: Go!
Classmate B: You can do it!
Classmate C: Minagi, shoot!
Tsuzuru: --.
Classmate C: Aah, he missed.
Classmate A: So Minagi Meguru's little brother is just this good.
Classmate B: What, he isn't such a big deal.
Tsuzuru: …
~~~
Tsuzuru: (Just because I'm Meguru's brother, doesn’t mean I'm good at soccer)
Tsuzuru: (Why do I have to hear those things, just because I'm his little brother)
Meguru's classmate: Go! Meguru!
Meguru: --.
Meguru's classmate: Yay! Goal!
Meguru: Alright!
Tsuzuru: (It's Meguru… he really is good at soccer)
Meguru: Ah, it's Tsuzuru! Heeey!
Tsuzuru: (He's waving at me so carelessly, but whose fault is it that I'm having this bad time)
Tsuzuru: Huh…
Tsuzuru: (Let's just go home…)
~~~
Meguru: Tsuzuru! Let's go home together.
Meguru: I saw you just now from the school yard and I waved to you, you didn’t notice?
Tsuzuru: …I did notice.
Meguru: So you did.
Meguru: How is school? Did you make friends?
Tsuzuru: …
Tsuzuru: (Because of Meguru everyone raises their expectations of me as they please, so I end up disappointing my friends)
Tsuzuru: Big brother… teach me soccer.
Meguru: Eh? Soccer?
Tsuzuru: 'Cause we played soccer in P.E today.
Meguru: Alright! Leave it to me!
~~~
Meguru: That's right, just like this. Don't strain yourself when you kick the ball.
Tsuzuru: -- *kicks*
Meguru: Oh, this one was great. You have a sense for it don'tcha think?
Tsuzuru: You're overreacting.
Meguru: I'm serious, you have talent. As expected from my brother!
Tsuzuru: You're too high spirited.
Meguru: By the way, you're getting pocket money right?
Tsuzuru: Yeah.
Meguru: How nice, it's so early. I got it only starting third grade.
Tsuzuru: It's only 500yen a month, I can't even eat out with friends.
Meguru: But it's better than nothing.
Meguru: Well, in my case my shoes get worn out quickly so it's pricey. Can't be helped.
Meguru: Hey, this month I'm having it rough so lend me 500yen.
Tsuzuru: You'll never give them back so nope.
Meguru: You're even saving your New Year money so this little of a sum is fine right.
Tsuzuru: You should just save money too Meguru.
Meguru: Would've been nice if I could do that.
Tsuzuru: That's called "you reap what you sow".
Meguru: You know some tough phrases huh.
~~~
Omi: Nice clear!
Tasuku: It will get dark soon. Let's call it a day.
Azami: On what day is the futsal tournament next month?
Tsuzuru: The 25th, a Sunday.
Omi: It's just before the World Cup so it makes things more exciting.
Azami: By the way, are they announcing the members this week?
Tsuzuru: No, next week. Right now they're holding a training camp.
Tasuku: Meguru-san is attending too right?
Tsuzuru: Yes. At the end of the camp there are international goodwill matches, they will select the members then.
Azami: Minagi will surely get in.
Omi: He's still young but his pro career is going well, the rumors say high chances he'll get in.
Tsuzuru: My family is all excited about it, but I wonder if it's true. We have to wait until the announcement.
Tasuku: We have to choose our fifth member too.
Omi: Banri said he might have school business on that day.
Azami: Saying that, who is it leaving us with…
Tasuku: Maybe we should hold a training camp too.
Tsuzuru: Haha, you're right. Seems like we won't be able to decide otherwise.
~~~
Izumi: Guys, is everyone here? Let's start the meeting then.
Izumi: With the sixth performances ending, everyone has had a chance to play a lead role…
Izumi: So, I thought about doing something a bit different next.
Sakyo: It is great we were able to complete all performances successfully.
Sakyo: However, precisely because there's an established style for each Troupe and the quality is stable, we need something that would become a stimulus for us.
Tenma: True, if we want to win the Fleur award, we better have something that would help us grow.
Tsumugi: In that sense, the mix performance made for a really good stimulus.
Banri: Oh yeah, it was different from an Autumn Troupe performance, and it was fun to actually perform with people whose performance we usually only watch.
Tsumugi: Each Troupe has its own practice ways, thought process and approach for the roles, so there's much to learn.
Tsuzuru: Even for the script, I had to keep away from each Troupe's usual style, it was refreshing.
Izumi: A mixed performance huh… it might be good!
Manager: It's like an all-stars festival, the audience will surely be happy!
Sakuya: I also want to try and perform with members from different troupes!
Sakyo: Everyone should experience it at least once, but we will need just as much scripts for that to happen.
Izumi: Hmm… that would be too much of a burden for Tsuzuru-kun.
Tsuzuru: There are a few plots I wrote as practice, so if I use them it would be fine somehow.
Tenma: So there were some turned down scripts?
Tsuzuru: There were some with a theme that just wouldn't fit with any Troupe, they were unsuitable for a Troupe performance so I put them on hold.
Banri: Well, looks like it's time they see the light of day again.
Sakuya: I can't wait to see something different that Tsuzuru-kun wrote!
Manager: Maybe we should even create a season ticket for mix performances!
Tsumugi: It would be nice if it causes people who usually watch only their favorite Troupe, to enjoy the acting of the other Troupes too.
Izumi: I think it would be tough with the scripts though, is it fine?
Tsuzuru: I have so much I want to write, so I'm actually happy.
Izumi: I'm glad to hear that!
Sakyo: So, what will the next performance be about?
Tsuzuru: For now, I will try to use a plot I've started to write before.
Izumi: Since it's a chance, I want to see a theme that Tsuzuru-kun really wants to write about, and not something that fits the style of a certain Troupe or actor.
Tsuzuru: Eh, I can write whatever I want?
Izumi: Of course! I can't wait to see it.
Tsuzuru: Yes!
