Chapter 3

 [Common] Episode 3: I Want to Know, Because I Don't Know

MC: What's wrong, Menou-san?

Menou: Hmm, I'm waiting for someone.

Menou: ...There he is. Mizuki~

Mizuki: What? I ain't goin' to the lesson, so don't even ask.

Menou: If you're not going to the lesson, then I can't let you pass.

Mizuki: I don't wanna go 'cuz Rindou's there.

Menou: You're really going through another Rindou hate phase, huh?

Menou: Can you tell me why you hate him so much?

Mizuki: None of your business. I never liked 'im from the start.

Menou: Indeed, you hated him from the moment you first met.

Menou: But you were still performing with Team P, right?

Mizuki: ...Shut up.

Menou: Is it because Haru-san is gone?

Mizuki: I said shut up! Stop sayin' that shit!

Mizuki: You're so goddamn insensitive!

MC: Please calm down, you two!

Qu: Can we stop it here, before it turns into a fistfight?

MC: Qu-san... thank you...

Menou: Qu? Hey, let go.

Qu: Mizuki, I'll hold Menou back. You can go.

Mizuki: ...Thanks. *leaves*

Menou: Ohh, there he goes. I just wanted to know the reason.

Qu: Cut it out, Menou. Cornering him won't help.

Menou: Cornering him? That wasn't my intention.

Qu: You might not think so, but Mizuki was angry, no?

Qu: Sorry you got caught up in this, (name).

MC: It's okay. I'm sorry I couldn't stop them.

Qu: Nah, you did nothing wrong. This theater nut on the other hand...

Menou: Who, me?

Qu: Who else is here? Do you deny it?

Menou: I can't. I honestly wanted to know...

Menou: Ever since Mizuki came to Starless three years ago, he's been angry- especially at Rindou.

Qu: He didn't use to complain about the lessons, though... or at least, not at the time when I joined.

MC: So he liked the lessons?

Menou: I think Mizuki awakened to the stage after Team P was formed.

Menou: Perhaps it was because Haru-san... the director, was constantly giving him lessons.

MC: Team P didn't exist at first, right?

Qu: Ah... I think I heard that Rindou created Team P after he joined Starless.

Menou: From the start, Rindou was the leader, and Mizuki was #2.

Menou: I wasn't particularly interested at the time, because I was in Team W.

Menou: But now I've moved to Team P, so I want to immerse myself in this acting.

Qu: Is that why you're curious about Rindou and Mizuki?

Menou: Yes. Team P's in such a mess, after all.

Menou: Mizuki is violent, and Rindou is overly noble.

Menou: Despite that, the team still forms a stage. Don't you think that's amazing?

Menou: How does the performance not fall apart? It's always a mystery to me.

Menou: But now that Mizuki's begun skipping lessons, it'll probably be difficult to pull off.

Qu: You always prioritize your own curiosity, huh? Why don't you be more considerate of how he's feeling?

Menou: Yes, that's exactly what I want to know.

Menou: Where does Mizuki's anger stem from?

Menou: I'm poor at acting out anger, so I wish he'd explain it to me in a way I can understand.

MC: (Wow... He only thinks about acting...)

Qu: Really, you'll use anything for your self-improvement.

Qu: Listen, Menou. Not everyone is like you.
