Swordsman

Listen

“This swordsmanship...!
You are no mere ogre, are you?!”
2

Ogre

Listen

“Hah! I have long since forgotten about my past!”

3

Emu

Listen

(Whoaaa...!
Their swords are going all cling-clang-clash!)
4

Emu

Listen

(Their blades look like they're dancing, but they sound so solid whenever they meet.)
5

Tsukasa

Listen

(This is quite the spectacle...)
6

Tsukasa

Listen

(After learning more about sword fighting with Mikazukigumi, I have a much greater appreciation for just how difficult it is to move with such speed and precision.)
7

Rui

Listen

(The director must've put quite a lot of effort into making this scene feel so compelling.)
8

Rui

Listen

(You can tell that the costumes are meant to flutter a certain way.)
9

Nene

Listen

(They're also amazing singers. The all-female Suzurangumi troupe really wows you with their beauty and charm, while this one seems to be more about power and action...)
10

Nene

Listen

(There's more to it than just the fact that they're all boys. I mean, they're all performing at such a high level...)
11

Emu

Listen

(This is so cool...)
12

Emu

Listen

(I didn't know Kikyogumi was so amazing...!!)

Emu

Listen

Wooowww...

14

Tsukasa

Listen

That was an excellent performance...
15

Nene

Listen

Yeah. The scene at the end where the swordsman and the ogre part ways under the cherry blossoms... It was sad, but I like how they left room for them meeting again someday.
16

Rui

Listen

Yes, I noticed a few people in the audience tearing up.
17

Rui

Listen

In the beginning, they fought like only one of them would be left standing... I feel that the final scene was so moving because they presented us with such an epic battle.
18

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
Everyone in the audience really got to understand the swordsman and ogre's feelings!
19

Emu

Listen

(But...)
20

Emu

Listen

(For some reason, there were a lot of empty seats...)
21

Emu

Listen

(Even though they put on such an amazing show.)
22

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, we've been talking for quite a while now. We mustn't overstay our welcome...
23

Tsukasa

Listen

That being said, I'd love to discuss further. Why don't we all find a place where we can resume this conversation?
24

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
25

Rui

Listen

Then, why don't we try the diner by the station?
26

Nene

Listen

Sounds good. I could use a bite.
27

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, then... Let's go!
Diner

28

Tsukasa

Listen

Phew...
We really chatted up a storm.
29

Emu

Listen

Yeah! Talking about all our favorite scenes was super duper fun!
30

Nene

Listen

I also had fun.
It's been a while since we got to talk like this...
31

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, it has! After all, Rui and I are training with the boys, you're with the girls, Nene, and you've been learning all about management, Emu.
32

Nene

Listen

Speaking of which, what are you guys working on right now?
33

Rui

Listen

Tap dancing, until just recently.
We'll be having lessons on traditional Japanese dance soon.
34

Emu

Listen

Oh, that's so cool!
35

Emu

Listen

You guys get to learn about so many different things!
36

Rui

Listen

Yes, but...
37

Emu

Listen

But?
38

Rui

Listen

How to put it... Things have felt a bit hectic lately.
39

Rui

Listen

For some reason, our teachers are constantly getting swapped in and out.
40

Emu

Listen

Really...?
41

Nene

Listen

Nothing like that's been happening on my end. What do you think is going on...?
42

Tsukasa

Listen

We have no idea...
But I for one have been enjoying the chance to learn from so many different instructors.
43

Tsukasa

Listen

Each one focuses on the aspects they see as most important. In other words, we get to tackle a subject from many different angles.
44

Nene

Listen

Yeah, that is kinda nice...
45

Emu

Listen

Just like taiyaki shops.
They're all really good, but also taste a little different!
46

Rui

Listen

Hehe. That seems like an apt comparison.
47

Nene

Listen

What about you, Emu?
It seems like you're always doing something different. I remember you learning about being a producer one day and how to write proposals the next.
48

Emu

Listen

So, lately, I've been learning a lot about budgeting for day-to-day operations.
49

Emu

Listen

All the stuff about employee wages and maintenance costs are things I've heard about when it comes to Phoenix Wonderland.
50

Emu

Listen

But Morinomiya puts a lot of resources into their props and costumes because they want their audiences to “experience the extraordinary”.
51

Tsukasa

Listen

I see...
In other words, resources are allocated differently depending on what a company wishes to achieve.
52

Emu

Listen

Yeah. It's been a lot to process, but I've also been having a lot of fun!
53

Rui

Listen

It sounds like you've been gaining quite a lot from this experience.
54

Emu

Listen

Hehe. Lots and lots of people at both Morinomiya and Phoenix Wonderland are working really hard to put smiles on everyone's faces.
55

Emu

Listen

Some problems are really, really hard to solve, and you sorta just have to take a leap of faith...
56

Emu

Listen

But I wanna become somebody who can help solve those kinds of problems.
57

Emu

Listen

Which is why I'm really enjoying what I'm doing right now!
58

Nene

Listen

I see...
59

Emu

Listen

Hehe. Oh, also!
60

Emu

Listen

The other day, when I was learning about administrative practices... Oh, wait!
61

Nene

Listen

...?
What's wrong?
62

Emu

Listen

So...
That just reminded me of something...
63

Emu

Listen

I saw this really strange girl the other day!!
64

Tsukasa

Listen

A strange girl? What do you mean...?
65

Emu

Listen

So, there's this really fancy room where the executives hold their most important meetings...

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

66

Emu

Listen

And this girl around our age came walking out of it!
67

Tsukasa

Listen

She was in their meeting room?
68

Nene

Listen

Was she there as an official participant...?
69

Tsukasa

Listen

It's hard to believe that someone our age would be engaging with any executives.
70

Rui

Listen

Emu is a bit of an exception, and I feel that we would've heard about such a girl through word of mouth by now.
71

Rui

Listen

Maybe some of the other Morinomiya students could give us a clue...
72

Nene

Listen

This might actually be the perfect time...
73

Emu

Listen

Huh?
74

Nene

Listen

Umm... There's someone that I want you guys to meet.
75

Nene

Listen

She's a classmate and showed a lot of interest in our troupe...
76

Nene

Listen

She might know something, so wanna try asking her?
