Wedding Ceremony Hall - Waiting Room
1

Rui

Listen

Now that we have those roles filled, we'll need to choose who will be leading the dance part next.
2

Condescending Extra

Hey, you really have this under control...?
3

Rui

Listen

Oh? I'm not sure what you mean by that?

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

4

Condescending Extra

Your directing.
5

Condescending Extra

It feels all wrong. We're already short on time and you're just deciding who does what based on what they happen to be able to do...
6

Rui

Listen

Ah, there's no need for any auditioning if that's what you're asking.
7

Condescending Extra

What?
8

Rui

Listen

I chose those who I believe will do this ceremony the most justice.
9

Condescending Extra

That's just your opinion, kid. They don't really know much about acting either from what I can tell...
10

Condescending Extra

I'm in a theatre troupe and I've been doing this for a while now. Someone with more experience and acting skills would be a better choice, right?
11

Rui

Listen

Acting skills, huh...?
12

Rui

Listen

To be honest, everybody here is more or less the same in terms of that...
13

Condescending Extra

Huh?
14

Rui

Listen

Yes, I understand that some people are indeed born actors.
15

Rui

Listen

Their presence, how they go about themselves day to day, it all sets them apart from the rest of us...
16

Rui

Listen

But only so many of them actually exist.
17

Condescending Extra

Then what the hell are you trying to do here...?!
18

Rui

Listen

I do not have this sort of ace in the hole, so I'm relying on your natural talents to make the most of this situation.
19

Rui

Listen

Unless you are that very star we need right now. Are you?
20

Condescending Extra

What?! You...!
How can you say that when you clearly don't have much experience doing this...?!
21

Rui

Listen

Yes, I see your point. However, I also know that experience only begins to matter after you've reached a certain level.
22

Condescending Extra

What...?!
23

Rui

Listen

Now then, we have little time to spare. Next, we'll need to...
24

Condescending Extra

I can't deal with this guy!
I'm outta here...!

25

Toya

Listen

Huh?! Please, wait...!

Sound Effect: Play

26

Toya

Listen

He really left...
27

Rui

Listen

Well, this is awkward...
28

Rui

Listen

I was hoping that he wouldn't cause such a fuss if what he said about being in a theatre troupe were true.
29

Toya

Listen

Are you're sure about just letting him go? We'll be down a person...
30

Rui

Listen

Yes, this is less than ideal...
31

Rui

Listen

But we don't have a choice. We don't have the luxury to worry about this right now...
32

Rui

Listen

Oh, I'll need the dance lead to sing as well. Would anyone like to volunteer?

Extras

...
34

Rui

Listen

(Oh dear. They've all gone quiet...)
35

Rui

Listen

(Leading the dance is just as important as being one of the men proposing to the bride...)
36

Rui

Listen

(But today's ceremony is being held outside. There won't be much in the way of lights or acoustics to help cover up mistakes, so someone with good fundamentals would be best for this...)
37

Rui

Listen

(Our lever was my leading candidate, but I'm guessing he also would've let things get to his head and cause trouble for everyone else...)
38

Rui

Listen

If only there were someone here with experience singing and dancing in front of a crowd...
39

Toya

Listen

Singing and dancing...
40

Toya

Listen

Kamishiro...
41

Rui

Listen

Hm? Yes?
42

Toya

Listen

There is someone that could help us.

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

43

Akito

Listen

So what did you call me over for...?
44

Toya

Listen

I believe Akito will be able to lead the dance portion.
45

Toya

Listen

Akito, please. I beg you.
46

Akito

Listen

Tell me... What's in it for me if I do say yes to this?
47

Akito

Listen

Listen, Toya. I'm not doing a gig for some wedding or anything like that, so find someone else.
48

Toya

Listen

I see...
49

Rui

Listen

...
50

Rui

Listen

For some wedding, eh?
51

Rui

Listen

If that's how you truly feel, then I won't recommend that you join us.
52

Akito

Listen

What do you mean...?
53

Rui

Listen

To you, this may be just another uninteresting stage or venue.

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

54

Rui

Listen

But to the bride and groom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. If you're unable to see that, then I won't ask you to participate.
55

Rui

Listen

I suppose that this role may be too much for you as well.
56

Akito

Listen

Huh...?
57

Akito

Listen

You're just egging me on to join now, right?
58

Akito

Listen

I really don't like people who try to manipulate others into doing stuff for them like this.
59

Rui

Listen

Ah, so I've been made.
Please excuse my indiscretion.
60

Akito

Listen

You're still grinning...
You don't actually feel bad, do you?
61

Rui

Listen

In actuality, who knows...?
62

Akito

Listen

Now you're just trying to start something, huh?
63

Rui

Listen

No, I am simply trying to give this ceremony the show that it deserves.
64

Rui

Listen

Which is why I'll do anything right now if it means convincing you to join us.
65

Rui

Listen

I feel no guilt over that whatsoever.
66

Akito

Listen

So that's how it is...
But I still don't like it.
67

Akito

Listen

I'm not agreeing to this if it means working with someone like him. Got it, Toya?
68

Toya

Listen

Yes, I understand...
I'm sorry, Akito.
69

Toya

Listen

I apologize for inviting you without actually thinking about it first.
70

Toya

Listen

It's the night festival all over again. I relied on you too much that time too.
71

Akito

Listen

That's different...
72

Toya

Listen

But please just know this.
73

Toya

Listen

Kamishiro took over as the director for this performance pro bono.
74

Akito

Listen

What do you mean...?
75

Toya

Listen

The real director ran into some trouble and couldn't make it in time today. For a moment, everything was set to be cancelled.

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

76

Toya

Listen

But the bride has been planning this for quite some time all just to see her fiancé smile.
77

Toya

Listen

I want to make this happen if it really means that much to them...
78

Akito

Listen

Toya...
79

Toya

Listen

And Kamishiro feels the same way.
80

Toya

Listen

He wants this to succeed no matter what for the bride's sake. Please, try to understand at least that much.
81

Akito

Listen

...
82

Toya

Listen

Again, I apologize for dumping this on you so suddenly. I promise to pay you back later...
83

Akito

Listen

Man...
84

Akito

Listen

Fine, what do I need to do?
85

Toya

Listen

Huh? Does that mean...?
86

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I'll do it. You happy now?
87

Toya

Listen

Akito...!

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

88

Akito

Listen

I still don't like the way you do things, Kamishiro...
89

Akito

Listen

But I know that feeling of wanting to make something happen no matter what.
90

Akito

Listen

This is for Toya, not you, got it...?
91

Rui

Listen

Yes, I understand. I'm glad...
92

Akito

Listen

This means you owe me.
93

Rui

Listen

Of course.
I promise to return the favor.
94

Rui

Listen

Now, we need to start rehearsing.
Do you have the time, Aoyagi?
95

Toya

Listen

Yes, it's 12:30... We only have an hour and a half until it starts?!
96

Akito

Listen

What?! An hour and a half?!
Dude, you serious?!
97

Rui

Listen

Yes, very!
We'll need to get started right away, Shinonome! The costumes are all ready...!

98

Rui

Listen

By the way, Aoyagi...
Have you ever thought about appearing from the sky...?
99

Toya

Listen

T-The sky...?!
No, not really...
100

Akito

Listen

Hold up!
What are you up to now?!
101

Rui

Listen

Hehe. It was just a joke.
We need to go! Hurry!
