Chapter 5

Location: Broadcasting Room



Nazuna:
Are you ready, Anzu~? I won’t go easy on you just because you’re my junior! I’ll be real strict~!
Hm? “Bang~☆”…? Ah, you think it’s cute to imitate a gunshot like that?
We’re going to do a puppet show, so we won’t need to use any body language, you know?
But right now the puppets still aren’t done…so there’s no way we can rehearse with them~
You’d better have a look at the script and get a grasp on Red Riding Hood’s character first.
I asked Wataruchin for advice before and he said when you’re acting, it’s best to remember the lines of other roles as well as your own.
Because if the others haven’t gotten the timing of the actions down it’ll mess with their lines too…
So it’ll help if you remember the lines of the characters onstage with you, yeah?
Get familiar with the script first, and then we can try it out together.
I’m the long-awaited villain, after all~ Hehehe, I have to give it my all~☆

Souma: Sengoku, we should practice as well.

Shinobu: Understood! The granny and the hunter only meet during the latter part of the story, so shall start from there, shall we? I must do my best as well~ ♪

Kuro: ……
(Haha. They all sure look like they’re having fun. It’s not bad to sew in a lively place like this once in a while.)
(Alright now…I should make the granny a little cuter, since she’s a girl. That way people will like her more.)
(It’ll work if she’s got some kind of pattern on her apron, right?)

Makoto: I’m coming in~!

Nazuna: Oh, Makochin. Didn’t I tell you before I found someone else to play your part?

Makoto: Sorry. I still felt a little bothered after that, so I came to see how it was going!
Um, I heard Kiryu-senpai and them came to help, right…?

Kuro: Oh, if it isn't Yuuki. You sure are rowdy all flustered like that. Doesn't the broadcast room have equipment lying around too? It'd cause a lot of trouble if you accidentally pressed a wrong button or sent something flying.

Makoto: I didn't come in that aggressively?!
Speaking of which, why are you sewing?

Kuro: Because Nito asked me to make the puppets for the show.
As for you, is it okay if you’re not rehearsing for SS right now?

Makoto: Ah, about that. I was practicing with them just now, but everyone thought I was kind of distracted, and so they started to worry about me.
They decided to stop early today after I told them why.
Everyone said we shouldn’t practice too much and give ourselves too much pressure just before SS. They even comforted me saying I should relax for a day or two.
It’s obvious they were saying it for my sake, so I felt bad too.
They smiled and said now would be the perfect time to go to their own clubs…really, I’m so lucky to have met friends like these ♪

Kuro: That's right. Treasure your friends.

Nazuna: Alright. Since you’re here, do you want to see how the puppet show is going? Anzu and I are reading the lines right now ♪

Makoto: Eh, Anzu?
Ahaha. It’s rare to run into you here, even though we see each other in class all the time.
But why are you here, Anzu? Oh, you’re playing Red Riding Hood in the play, so you’re rehearsing now?
Ahh, Kanzaki-kun is here too. I was supposed to be the one playing Red Riding Hood at first, but now you’re doing it for me. Sorry to make you do it.
Oh right. Anzu, weren’t you keeping watch over our practices as well as taking care of other units?
How did you find the time for the puppet show with such a packed schedule?

Nazuna: Anzu said she’d like to help wherever she could, so she volunteered to help out herself.

Makoto: Mm~ That does sound like her. I worry if she’s forcing herself, though.
It’s not that bad, so I don’t have to…? And being in a puppet show seems like fun so you wanted to join yourself?

Kuro: Your movement sure are something, little miss. Aah, so you were imagining how the hand movements would go while practicing your lines with Nito?
Hm? No, the movements don’t look weird at all. Were you bothered by me calling them “something?”
Mm~ The granny puppet is done, do you wanna try it out?
"I'm Red Riding Hood. You're the person who made me, right? I want to say thank you ♪"…?
This puppet isn't Red Riding Hood, it's the granny. But the gestures you did for Red Riding Hood are spot on. Whaddya think, Nito?

Nazuna: Yep. The gestures just now were real cute~♪

Kuro: Aah, this one’s pretty much finished, so the little miss can go rehearse with it. I’ll tell you guys when I’m done with the rest.

Nazuna:
Kurochin. Looks like Anzu's learned how to do cute gestures, so can I start on the puppets now?

Kuro: Sure. Let’s split these between us and get through them nice and quick… ♪
