Wow...! I didn't know about this cafe at all! The breeze out on the terrace feels so good!
I agree! They've chosen a wonderful location! The perfect place for a pair of siblings to spend some quality time together!
I couldn't be happier about us getting to go out today, Saki!
Hehe. It's been so long since we last had a nice relaxing time together!
Until just recently, you didn't come home until it was really late because of practice... You even kept practicing after you got back.
Yes, because the play was just around the corner.
I know, but... Try not to push yourself too hard, okay? Mom, Dad and I were really worried!
Just the other day, I heard you shouting, “What kind of person is Nakayama?!” while you were in your room.
What?! You heard me all the way from the living room...?!
Yeah!
But... We knew you were trying super duper hard, so we decided to leave you be after talking things over.
I see...
I'm sorry for causing you all to worry so much...
No, don't mind us!
Again, just don't push yourself too hard!
Yes... I'll be careful. Thank you.
Anyway, how did that play go? You were practicing so much for it.
So... I still have a few things left to work on, but the show itself was a success.
It was...?! Congratulations!
Thank you.
...
Hm? What's wrong?
No, it's just... Some old memories came back.
(I was able to learn how to flesh out my character because of a memory from when we were little.)
(That takes me back.
Coming up with all those shows for Saki to make her smile while she was in the hospital...)
“We made it! We're finally on the monsters' island!”
“Alright, we're going to find that treasure no matter what!”
Yeah!
Okay, we'll stop here for today!
I hope you're looking forward to seeing what happens next time!
I am!
Hehe. Thanks for coming up with another really fun show, Tsukasa.
I'm so glad Bunny was able to make so many friends after starting out as such a crybaby! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Then, I promise to make the next one even more amazing! So, Saki, stay tuned!
(She was all smiles again today.
Alright, I need to start coming up with the next part right away!)
(The next scene is when they finally fight the monsters, so how should I do it...?)
(Bunny bravely going up against them face-to-face might be cool. Yeah, I'll go with that...!)
Hmm...
This still doesn't feel right. But why...?
(This scene should be really cool because of how Bunny triumphs over those monsters with his friends after getting strong...)
I'm so glad Bunny was able to make so many friends after starting out as such a crybaby!
Oh...
(Right. Bunny isn't just cool.
He started out as a cowardly crybaby... Then...)
(Those monsters should terrify him, shouldn't they?)
(What if he gets mad and fights the monsters after his friends get hurt by them?)
*Nod*
That'd make way more sense for Bunny since he's so kind and loves his friends!
Alright, I'll keep going with that in mind!
(The story I made for Saki back then starring the bunny plushie ended up helping me a lot this time around.)
(Everything I've experienced up until now can serve as a source of inspiration... Such is acting, I suppose.)
Tsukasa...? You've gone all quiet...
Hm? Ah, sorry...
I was just thinking about how much you're always helping me, Saki!
Huh?
I still have a lot to learn as an actor... But this show definitely helped me grow.
Watch, Saki, as I get closer and closer to achieving stardom!
I dunno what you're talking about, but it sounds like something I did ended up helping you...
Hehe. Which makes me really glad!
Keep doing your best, Tsukasa!
I will!
