SUMMER NIGHT ESCAPE: Ep. 7

[eyoqy]

☀️☀️☀️

Misumi: "And just like that, we'll be back to school soon."

Misumi: "I wish summer vacation wouldn’t end...."

Misumi: ......

Misumi: (I wonder if Muku is okay....)

Misumi: (What can I do to help him? Is there something I can do to cheer him up...?)

Misumi: Ah... the stars....

Misumi: "What~? Guess it'd need to be a meteor shower for that to happen."

Muku: "Meteor shower?"

Misumi: "Soon, there's gonna be a meteor shower that only comes around once every few decades~. I wanna go see it with everyone in Summer Troupe!"

Misumi: ......

Kazunari: Ah, here you are, Sumi.

Misumi: Kazu?

Kazunari: I got some triangle candies today, so here.

Misumi: Yay, triangles! Thanks~.

Misumi: ......

Kazunari: Sumi?

Misumi: I wish I could cheer up Muku with triangles~.

Kazunari: I think that would work. ...You worried about him?

Misumi: Yeah.

Kazunari: Mukkun decided on it, so he'll see it through to the end. He'll be alright.

Kazunari: He finally chose his own path, I think now he's just continuing along carefully.

Misumi: Yeah~... It's really impressive that you and Muku and the others are all able to think about your futures~.

Misumi: But I can't decide on anything at all.

Kazunari: What are you saying? I'm just doing what I want, there's nothing impressive about that.

Kazunari: Sumi, you're going to keep acting as a career, right?

Misumi: That's right, but I have no idea about things like what kind of actor I want to become.

Kazunari: Hmm~... maybe it's better to not think so hard about it?

Misumi: Tenma said the same thing.

Kazunari: Ahaha, for reals?

Kazunari: You've loved performing all this time. I think if you continue just like this, you'll become an actor only you can be.

Misumi: Really? So just loving it is enough.

Kazunari: Oh, that's right! I have something else that I wanted to show you!

Misumi: What is it~?

Kazunari: A Kazunari Miyoshi Original Design™ custom-made bucket list!

Misumi: Ah! Like what Ibuki had!

Kazunari: Mhmm, mhmm! I designed it in between work for fun~.

Kazunari: It's not a lot of them, but they're so cute I thought I'd print them.

Misumi: —Wait, I got it~!

Kazunari: Huh?

Muku: ......

Muku: (I'll do the vocab list before I take a bath, and the questions—)

Muku: (Oh? The practice room lights are on...?)

(door opening SFX)

Kumon: Oh, Muku's home!

Yuki: Welcome home.

Muku: I'm back. What are you guys doing?

Tenma: We were called here by Misumi and Kazunari.

Kumon: I wonder what we're gonna do.

Misumi: Are you ready, Kazu?

Kazunari: Yup.

Misumi: Everyone, listen up~!

Kazunari: Tada—! Kazunari Miyoshi Original Design™ bucket lists!

Kumon: What?! Amazing, they're so cute!

Misumi: Let's fill them together~.

Yuki: A bucket list is a list of stuff you want to do, right? Why all of a sudden?

Misumi: Ibuki said they were making one, so I thought it'd be fun if we all did it~?

Kazunari: And because I made such a cute deisgn!

Tenma: So it's just because you wanted to.

Misumi: And also, I wanted to think about our future~!

Muku: Our future....

Misumi: Bucket lists are due Saturday!

Tenma: Oh, you mean it for real.

Kumon: Are we doing something with the bucket list?

Misumi: Kinda~.

Kazunari: Because there isn't much space, I thought we could try coming up with and writing down something we want to do within a year, after five years, and after ten years.

Kumon: How old will I be in ten years?

Yuki: Misumi and Kazunari will be in their thirties....

Kazunari: I mean, pretty much everyone will be close to thirty.

Tenma: We'd be about the same age that the adults in the company are now.

Misumi: I can't even picture it~.

Kumon: But, when I think about the time since we've joined the company, it's gone by surprisingly fast.

Yuki: Misumi is banned from writing about triangles. It'd be too easy.

Misumi: What~?!

Muku: After ten years....

Misumi: ......

Muku: ......

Muku: (I'm finished reviewing. I'll take a break, then go on to English....)

(page flipping SFX)

Muku: (A bucket list, huh... What will I be doing in ten years? Everyone else will be....)

Muku: ......

Misumi: Hup, hup—.

Muku: ?

Misumi: Ah, it's Muku!

Muku: Misumi-san—.

Misumi: Sorry, did I disturb your studying?

Muku: It's fine, I'm taking a break right now.

Misumi: Woah, there's so many words in this notebook! You're working so hard at studying and rehearsals, it's impressive~.

Muku: No, it's not....

Misumi: Ah, the bucket list!

Muku: Sorry, I still haven't been able to write anything....

Misumi: It's okay, I haven't written anything yet either.

Misumi: But Muku, do you not want to write it...?

Muku: ...No, it's not that.

Muku: It's just, nothing comes to mind for the ten-years slot.

Muku: I'm worried that the future that I write down will be different from everyone else, and I wouldn't know what to do.

Muku: Like, if everyone chooses different paths—.

Misumi: ......

Misumi: I thought of this while reading The Little Prince.

Misumi: Both the Little Prince and the Pilot had precious people that they were separated from, but won't ever forget. For the Prince, it was the Rose and the Fox, and for the Pilot it was the Prince.

Misumi: For me, it's Summer Troupe and everyone in MANKAI Company.

Misumi: So I think that in the one in a thousand chance we all get separated, I won't forget the days we've spent together, and they'll always be in my heart.

Misumi: I think, "I'm glad I was able to meet all these precious people~," so I hope that I can be that kind of person to everyone too.

Muku: Of course—we all think of you as someone precious to us.

Misumi: Ehehe, I'm glad. I'm a lucky person!

Misumi: So that's why it's okay if everyone get's split up in the future. Because Summer Troupe can just get right back together again!

Muku: ——.

Muku: ...You're right. Thank you, Misumi-san.

Misumi: You should read The Little Prince too, if you'd like.

Muku: Yes. You've really come to like that book, huh.

Misumi: Yup! It's something that will stay with me for—.

Muku: ?

Misumi: ...I got it!

(footsteps SFX)

Muku: Misumi-san?

Muku: He's gone....

Muku: (We'll be okay even if we get separated after ten years, huh... if that's the case, then I—)
