[summer Troupe 5th Play] Shinobi - Chapter 2

[skipabeet]

Kamekichi: Oi, Kazunari. Let’s go picking up some girls after this.
Kazunari: I’ll give that 20 likes!
Kamekichi: There’s a cute tree sparrow on the corner of the telephone pole!
Kazunari: Really—!? I can’t even tell one tree sparrow from the other. You’re awesome, Kamekichi!
Kamekichi: Well, tree sparrows are a little bit noisy.
Kazunari: Say, you don’t have a pigeon lover, do you? Could it be that you broke up!?
Kamekichi: …There are some adults circumstances.
Tsuzuru: …nnngh.
Kazunari: Ah, it’s Tsuzurun.
Kamekichi: Let’s invite Tsuzuru too.
Kazunari: Kamekichi, ssh..!
Kamekichi: Aah?
Kazunari: Hide here and watch closely.
Tsuzuru: ….
Kazunari: Look, Tsuzurun is opening his laptop, so that means he might be thinking of the script for the upcoming Summer play. We shouldn’t disturb him.
Kamekichi: Tch. What a boring guy.
Kazunari: Ah, but he looks troubled. Rather than as a Summer Troupe member, should I give him some advices as his high school senior?
Kamekichi: Yeah.
Kazunari: No, I should just watch him over and leave quietly! But, but…
Kamekichi: Do as you like.
Tsuzuru: …So noisy.
Kazunari: !!
Tsuzuru: What are you doing?
Kazunari: Eh~. I was just planning to hide.
Tsuzuru: When you talk so loudly like that, you don’t even look like you’re hiding.
Kazunari: Nin nin!
Kamekichi: Nin!
Tsuzuru: In the first place, there isn’t any ninja who brings a parrot with them. A carrier-pigeon is ok…
…Hm, hold on? Ninja…?
Ha!
Kazunari: Tsuzurun?
Tsuzuru: ….
Kazunari: Oooi.
Tsuzuru: ….
Kazunari: He’s in the zone, somehow.

Muku: What kind of play will we be performing next?
Tenma: The Spring Troupe looked like they were having a hard time with adaptation of an original work, but I wonder about Summer Troupe.
Yuki: Will it be a completely original story?
Misumi: I’m looking forward to it~.
Kumon: Yes, yes!
Kazunari: Ah, guys~. It looks like our next performance will be about ninja.
Tenma: Ninja?
Kazunari: Tsuzurun furiously wrote a plot about ninja just now.
Kumon: Heh~ Ninja, huh~!
Yuki: It might be good to be able to design a little bit twisted Japanese clothes.
Misumi: Nin nin!
Muku: Will we have to say “nin” at the end of every lines?
Kazunari: Ah, should we do something like what we did during the Niboshi play? Talking in cat language? But this time it’s Ninja language!
Misumi: That’s a good idea de gozaru!
Yuki: Eeh~…
Kumon: Cat language?
Muku: Since all the characters in Niboshi are cats, we had to talk to each other using “nya.”
Kumon: That sounds fun!
Tenma: No way in hell!
Kazunari: Let’s do it de gozaru!
Muku: This is part of getting into character de gozaru.
Misumi: Nin nin!
Tenma: Are you for real….?

Kumon: Today’s pasta and quiche are delicious de gozaru.
Kazunari: Omimi is good at cooking de gozaru.
Muku: I unconsciously ate too much de gozaru.
Omi: Haha, thanks.
Azuma: Everyone has completely gotten into the Ninja language.
Tasuku: I thought they started doing something weird again, but if it’s for getting into character, I think this is good.
Banri: Is this even getting into character…?
Tenma: ….Itadaki de gozaru.
Yuki: Just give it up and get it over already, nin nin.
Tenma: How can I!
Kumon: Tenma-dono, you’re not being a ninja enough de gozaru, nin nin!
Tenma: ——tch.
Misumi: ….
Kazunari: Sumi-dono, what’s wrong de gozaru?
Misumi: …It’s coming.
Muku: Eh? Eh? What is coming de gozaru?
Banri: What is this? A psychic phenomenon?
Tsuzuru: Ugh, ugh…
Kumon: He really came——!! De gozaru!!
Tasuku: You’re really consistent with the “gozaru.”
Azuma: Tsuzuru…?
Tsuzuru: It’s… done.
Yuki: It looks like the script is done.
Omi: Good work. Do you want to eat lunch?
Tsuzuru: Ye..s….

Izumi: Well then, shall we read the script together?
Kumon: Let’s read it de gozaru!
Muku: I’m looking forward to it de gozaru!

Yuki: ….That’s how it goes.
Kazunari: ….We don’t say “nin nin” or “gozaru” at all!?

Yuki: Nope.
Tenma: We talked in ninja language for nothing!
Misumi: It really does~!
Kumon: Ahaha, oh well! That was fun!
Muku: Yes de gozaru!
Tenma: *sigh*….
Izumi: It looks like the story for this play will be about the struggles of a pair of fool ninjas. What should we do about the casting?
Yuki: …..I think Kazunari should play the main lead, Kiichi.
Muku: Ah, I think so too!
Tenma: Yeah. When I read the script, he reminds me of Kazunari.
Misumi: Me too~
Kumon: Yes, it fits him!
Izumi: Do you want to try playing the main lead, Kazunari-kun?
Kazunari: Eh!? Me…?
Izumi: You’ve already gained many experiences since our first play until now, so I think you’re good enough to be the main lead.
Besides, I think there’s something that only the current Kazunari-kun can do if you play the main lead.
Kazunari: The current me…
Yuki: Everyone has said that you’re perfect for the role, so I don’t think anyone will go against it.
Tenma: Give it a try.
Muku: Yes. I’m sure Kazu-kun will be fine playing the main lead!
Misumi: Good luck, Kazu~!
Kumon: I’ll support you too!
Kazunari: …I see. Then, I have to think about a super cool huddle!
Tenma: That’s what you’re worried about!?
Izumi: How about the semi lead, Yoshimaru?
Yuki: Given that this play will be about ninja, there will be a lot actions, right?
Tenma: So that means Misumi should be the semi lead since he’s good at action.
Kumon: I agree. I want to see Sumi-san’s superior action!
Muku: Kazu-kun and Misumi-san combi will fit the atmosphere of the story.
Misumi: I’ll play Yoshimaru~!
Kazunari: Let’s work hard, Sumi!
Misumi: Yes! I’m looking forward to performing with Kazu~!
Izumi: With this, the main and semi lead have been decided. Next are Yoshimaru’s colleague Santa and Kiichi’s senior Hyuga…
Tenma: I get the feeling that Santa is a well put together person who is a little bit careless.
Yuki: I think we should choose someone who is younger than Kiichi and Yoshimaru.
Izumi: Muku-kun, then?
Muku: Ye-yes!
Kazunari: Senior Hyuuga is the most firm senior.
Izumi: I think Tenma-kun can play Hyuuga since the others look too young.
Tenma: Okay.
Izumi: The rest are the indecisive Waka-sama and the shrewd female ninja.
Kazunari: I think Yukki should play the female ninja?
Kumon: I have no confidence in playing woman!
Izumi: I know. Then, Kumon-kun will be Waka-sama and Yuki-kun will play the female ninja.
Kumon: Roger!
Yuki: Okaay.
Izumi: All right, the cast has been decided now. Everyone, please read the script properly for tomorrow, okay.

Student: Kazu, have you eaten lunch?
Kazunari: Not yet~.
Student: Let’s go to the campus cafeteria together.
Kazunari: Okay~.
Student: Anyway, what are you gonna draw for the next exhibition?
Kazunari: I have a play coming soon, so I’ll pass~.
Student: Ah, your theatre company, huh. It looks fun.
Kazunari: It’s really fun~. Come watch the play again.
Student: I’ll go. I’ll go.
Professor: ——Ah, Miyoshi. Good timing.
Kazunari: ?
Professor: Come with me for a bit.
Kazunari: What’s wrong?
Student: Bye bye~.
