(Phew. I'm finally done doing maintenance on these props.)

Rui

Still...

Rui

I never thought that we'd get a chance to appear in a film.

Reki

The movie I'm about to work on is also going to include a few others from Shunmeiza...

5

Reki

But they still need more extras.

So, if you'd like, would you all like to apply to be in it?

6
Character icon
Rui

(We decided to apply to become extras after hearing about it from Bakuno...)

7
Character icon
Rui

(But we ended up celebrating after we found out that we'd been accepted.)

8

Tsukasa

Hah hah hah hah! Wonderlands×Showtime will be making its big debut on the silver screen!

9
Character icon
Emu

Yeah, this is so exciting!

10
Character icon
Nene

I know we're just gonna be playing roles like a girl having a picnic or a man admiring flowers, but we should still do our best.

11
Character icon
Tsukasa

Agreed. We may be extras, but we're still going to be people who live in the world of the story...

12
Character icon
Tsukasa

I'm going to do the best job I can of squatting while admiring flowers as Young Man A!

13
Character icon
Rui

Incidentally, I just found out that Bakuno will be performing in the scene we appear in.

14
Character icon
Nene

Yeah. Screen acting is supposed to be way different from stage acting, but I can't wait to see how Bakuno does.

15
Character icon
Tsukasa

Yes, me too!

16
Character icon
Emu

I'm really looking forward to seeing how films are actually made♪

17
Character icon
Emu

I know we're only gonna be on set for a day, but I wanna learn as much as I can!

18
Character icon
Rui

Hehe. Sounds like we're all looking forward to this experience.

19
Character icon
Rui

(Emu's brothers gave us a chance to work with Shunmeiza, and now we've been given this opportunity thanks to one of their actors...)

20
Character icon
Rui

(Come to think of it, we're lucky to have been able to establish such a network.)

21
Character icon
Rui

(On top of learning as much as we can from the opportunities they've given us, I hope we get to repay everyone someday...)

22
Character icon
Rui

Alright, I'll go through the script one last time before I go to bed.

23
Character icon
Rui

(The film we're going to be a part of is being directed by someone called Tomomi Ohara.)

24
Character icon
Rui

(After doing some quick research, I found that he doesn't employ big plot twists or anything of the sort in his films. His works seem to be mostly subdued stories that carefully explore his characters' feelings.)

25
Character icon
Rui

(Including this one. The protagonist has all but given up on life, but someone calling herself his long-lost sister suddenly appears before him. And he begins to change as a result. It's a drama that explores human relationships.)

26
Character icon
Rui

(Which explains why he asked Bakuno to play the protagonist. This kind of story is his forte.)

27
Character icon
Rui

(What we saw him do on stage was spectacular, to put it mildly.)

28
Character icon
Rui

(His performance made his character feel like a real-life person...)

29
Character icon
Rui

(Just like Nene, I'm also looking forward to seeing what he does for this film.)

30
Character icon
Rui

(As well as how he and the director are going to work together.)

31
Character icon
Rui

If we were to turn this film into a show, how would I go about doing that...?

32
Character icon
Rui

(The climax is obviously the most exciting part, but the entire story is remarkably mellow and subdued. Which means...)

33
Character icon
Rui

(The backdrops for the stage would also need to be fairly simple. But we could make it so that they change little by little as the protagonist's feelings evolve over time...)

34
Character icon
Rui

(Where the characters stand would also play a crucial role. They'd start out far apart, but move closer together as they get to know one another...)

35
Character icon
Rui

Oh...

36
Character icon
Rui

(I really got ahead of myself there...)

37
Character icon
Rui

(I just can't help but think about how to put on a good show.)

38
Character icon
Rui

In any case, I want to take what I can from this film and use it to learn how to put on better performances...

39
Character icon
Rui

We won't be there for very long, but I'd like to make the most of this experience.
