Miku

Listen

When are Emu and the others gonna get here...?
2

KAITO

Listen

I'm sure they'll be here soon.
We'll need to tell Tsukasa about filling in for him when they do.
3

Miku

Filling in?
4

KAITO

Yes. Rui asked me about having one of us to play Thorpe in Tsukasa's place so that the others can work on their lines.
5

KAITO

Listen

Which I suspect is going to be me...
6

Miku

Listen

So, like an understudy...

Rin

Listen

Oh, there they are! Miku! KAITO!
8

Miku

Heya☆
What brings all of you guys here?
9

MEIKO

Listen

There's something we'd like to ask you two!
Right, Len?
10

Len

Listen

Yeah. You're both supposed to practice with Emu and the others today, right?
11

Len

Is Tsukasa gonna be there with them?
It feels like it's been so long since we last met...
12

KAITO

Oh... Right now, Tsukasa's...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

13

Miku

Listen

So right now, Tsukasa's trying really, really, really hard to figure things out☆
14

Rin

Listen

I didn't realize he was working so hard on getting into character. That explains why we haven't seen him in so long...
15

Len

Listen

Speaking of which, I remember Rui saying something about Tsukasa not being a good fit for Thorpe.
16

Miku

Yeah. But Tsukasa responded by saying, “I promise to do this role justice!”
17

Miku

Listen

So I'm sure he'll figure it out!!
18

Luka

Listen

Hehe. I'm sure he will.
After all, this is Tsukasa we're talking about here.
19

Len

But it's gotta be so hard being all on your own like this. Isn't there something we can do for him...?
20

Miku

Listen

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel...
21

KAITO

Listen

At the same time, Tsukasa needs to take care of this on his own if he wishes to grow as an actor.
22

KAITO

I'm sure chatting with him is still okay, but we have to be more or less hands-off this time around.
23

Miku

Especially since he wants to become a world-famous star! That means he's gonna have to learn to play all sorts of different roles!
24

Rin

Right...
I guess we should stay on the sidelines for this one.
25

Luka

Aww... You two seem so deflated now.
26

Miku

Listen

Hmm...
27

Miku

Oh, I know!
28

Miku

Listen

Hey, Rin, Len!
Let's try getting into character too!
29

Rin

Listen

Huh?
30

Miku

The thing is, the others need someone to be Tsukasa's understudy♪
31

Miku

Listen

KAITO's probably the best pick...
But Tsukasa's trying his darndest to get through this!
32

Miku

Which is why I think we should also try playing Thorpe!
33

KAITO

Listen

Oh, that actually might be a good idea.
34

KAITO

As I mentioned earlier, we should probably be more hands-off when it comes to Tsukasa this time around.
35

KAITO

Listen

However, a quick chat can still go a long way.
36

KAITO

So I think it'd be nice if we could all learn a little more about Thorpe just in case Tsukasa decided to stop by and ask us for some advice.
37

Len

Listen

I think so too!
I know it won't be easy, but let's give it a try, Rin!
38

Rin

Yeah! Especially if learning more about Thorpe means we'd be helping Tsukasa♪
39

MEIKO

Listen

Alright, I'll help out too♪
40

MEIKO

Oh, why don't we turn it into a little contest where the winner gets to be Tsukasa's understudy?
41

Miku

Listen

Yeah, that sounds fun☆
There's no way I'm losing!
42

Len

Me neither!
43

Rin

Listen

Len, let's go read through the script together!
44

Len

Listen

Yeah, sure!

Sound Effect: Play

45

MEIKO

Listen

We're doing the same, Luka!
I'm going to need your help learning these lines!
46

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Yes, of course...
47

Luka

Let's... Give it our... Zzz...
48

MEIKO

She fell asleep?!
Hey, Luka, wake up!
49

Miku

Here we goooo!
I'm gonna try super extra hard too!
50

KAITO

Listen

As motivated as ever I see.
51

Miku

Listen

Yup!
52

Miku

That's because Tsukasa, Emu, Nene and Rui all seem like they're tangled up in knots right now.
53

KAITO

True. Tsukasa's having trouble playing his character, which is causing the others to worry about him.
54

Miku

Listen

Yeah, exactly!
55

Miku

But I'm like the exact opposite of Thorpe! Imagine if I somehow figure out how to play him! The others might think, “Wait, it's that easy?”
56

Miku

Listen

Which could become the motivation they need to try even harder and turn their frowns upside down!
57

KAITO

Listen

Miku...
58

KAITO

I was under the impression that you made this suggestion to cheer Rin and the others up...
59

KAITO

Listen

I had no idea you were being this thoughtful. Again, Miku, you've come up with a wonderful idea.
60

Miku

Woohoo! KAITO liked my idea♪
61

Miku

Listen

Alright, for everyone's sake, I'm gonna learn everything I can about Thorpe! Let's go!
