Scramble Crossing

Tsukasa
On top of that fight, you even stayed to coach me as I practiced on my own. I really appreciate the help.
Kijima
Not a problem! I understand exactly how you feel since I also want to do everything I can to put on a great show.
Kijima
Plus, we're both playing leads this time around, so we'll need to work in perfect sync.
Tsukasa
Very true... “Ishin-den”, the tale of two brothers separated at a young age who end up facing off as supporters of the new government and old shogunate.
Tsukasa
The climax involves an epic sword fight that will likely make or break the entire show. I'm incredibly excited about that scene!
Kijima
And when you do, I have a feeling that you're going to grow more than you have until now.
Kijima
The one you received while we were practicing. You said it was from your old friends.
Kijima
You started practicing on your own right after that, so I was wondering if you'd replied already.
Tsukasa
No, you're right...!
I'd become so focused on practicing that I completely forgot...!

Kijima
Still, you must all be pretty close to keep in contact like this after disbanding your troupe...
Tsukasa
The truth is, part of why I decided to go train overseas is because one of them inspired me...
Tsukasa
Yes. I received word the other day that he will be joining a top-level troupe in the United States as he pursues his dream.
Tsukasa
I know that I still need a lot of work, and that it's far too soon for me to go train abroad. But...
Tsukasa
I don't want to sit idly by as my friends move forward towards their dreams... Chiefly because I am the troupe leader of Wonderlands×Showtime!

No, I should be the one apologizing...
I wasn't expecting you to throw in a spin there.

I wasn't expecting it to end that way at all...! I mean, it started out kinda like a comedy...
Audience
That was so good! I didn't know Mikazukigumi could put on shows that make your heart ache like that...
Tsukasa
Even until the very last second, I kept learning from you. The audience really loved the way you improvised back there!
Kijima
Thank you for being with us until today.
You've had a huge impact on this troupe. Myself included.

You might face some tough challenges when you set out into the world, but I'm sure you'll find a way to overcome all of them!
Tsukasa
I'm going to treasure every moment I spent training with everyone here at Mikazukigumi.
Tsukasa
You all encouraged me to chase after my dream. So, to make the most of what you've given me...

(Speaking of which, Emu said that she wanted to throw a farewell party for Rui and me since we'll be leaving the country soon...)
Tsukasa
(Emu would probably say, “It was so ridiculously amazingly explosively fun☆”. Nene would likely point out all the little mistakes in my movements.)
Tsukasa
(And I imagine Rui would start coming up with a directing plan that includes a number of extra effects.)
