A3! Troupe Event: MY WORST WEDDING | Event Story Translation (10/11)

Neither Japanese nor English is my first language so please forgive me if I made mistake. However, feel free to point me out, I’d love to hear your feedbacks on the translation ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

I recommend reading along in-game for this chapter to get a better visual for what's happening in the play!!

Translation under the cut

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Andrew: “I never thought James-san would get married.”

James: “I was also going to be unmarried, but I’m worried about what people would say then.”

Grayson: “What kind of person is your partner?”

Andrew: “The three of us took a picture the other day. Here you go.”

James: “She’s younger than me but she’s a sharp person. Perfect suit for a business partner.”

Andrew: “That sounds so businesslike. But it’s not bad to have someone waiting for you at home, isn’t it.”

Grayson: “I have no idea about how people would feel when they get married. Aside from being on duty, being with someone all the time is like hell.”

James: “That’s Grayson for you.”

*shifts to Ethan’s table*

Ethan: “She is my fated partner. I was sitting next to her at the cafe, and ever since our eyes met, I knew it was what was called love at first sight.”

Noah: “She looks just like an anime character, doesn’t she.”

Ethan: “Do you want to see the picture?”

Lucas: “Ah… But that’s why you’re getting married though. The genius graduating at the top of his class despite skipping grades is still in his teens, huh.”

Ethan: “N-not only that. She also has a nice personality, and we’re even on the same wavelength!”

Noah: “Even so, I thought the president’s son should be able to charter this whole cruise ship, shouldn’t you?”

Ethan: “This time, Olivia has arranged everything for me.”

Ethan: “I told her I wasn’t too interested in helding a bachelorette party, but she said I should definitely do it. She’s such a modest person.”

Noah: “I don’t think a modest partner would book a whole floor which costs this much though.”

Lucas: Well, isn’t that great to do this once in a while? Ethan, you didn’t come out and play much when we were students.

Ethan: “It’s because studying is fun.”

Noah: “By the way, who is the SP today?” (*)

Ethan: “There’s no way I’d bring any of them on a day like this.”

Noah: “Is that so.”

Izumi: (Azami-kun’s Ethan, I can feel like he’s really in love with Olivia. It’s completely different from when we started practicing.)

Andrew: “It seems that those guys over there also came to this bachelorette party like us.”

Grayson: “They look surprisingly young though.”

James: “That boy is…”

Ethan: “Cheers.”

James: “That sounds great, Bocchan. Congratulations on your wedding engagement.”

Ethan: “?”

James: “I just happened to hear your story.”

Ethan: “Aah. Thank you.”

James: “I guess there haven’t been any articles yet about the president’s son getting engaged?”

Andrew: “Yeah, if it happened to be seen somewhere,...”

Ethan: “My father is the only one who is well-known.”

Grayson: “There even seems to be some rumours about how much of a rare genius you are that you’ll be the next president?”

James: “I’m James, the secretary for congressman Brown.”

Ethan: “Nice to meet you.”

Noah: “Could it be that you guys are also enjoying the night before the wedding?”

James: “Aah. Such a coincidence.”

Lucas: “How old are you now, James-san?”

James: “I’m 32.”

Lucas: “Normally people are getting married at around that age. Ethan’s case is too early.”

Andrew: “Well, I also got married when I was 26.”

Ethan: “Because I will never find anyone who looks like Misaki and matches my personality like this in the future!”

James: “Misaki?”

Ethan: “Do you know the Japanese anime “One Hundred Poems, One People Each Reincarnated in a Different World”? (**). Misaki is a character in that series. Do you know it?”

James: “Hm–, I think I may have heard that name.”

Ethan: “Here, you can look at this photo of her! You will see they really look alike!”

James: “Heh… I’m not sure, but are they that similar?”

James: “Hm…? You said her name was?”

Ethan: “She is Olivia.”

James: “...”

Andrew: “James-san.”

Ethan: “Is there something wrong?”

James: “No, nothing. Please enjoy the party then��”

Grayson: “This woman named Olivia, doesn’t her name and face look just like James-san’s fiancée Olivia?”

Ethan: “Eh? That’s an odd coincidence—”

James: “Maybe it’s just a random resemblance to someone.”

Grayson: “No, it’s just the hairstyle and hair color that are different, but they’re the same person. You can put it into the analysis software.”

James: “...”

Noah: “So, what does that mean?”

Lucas: “Hm—, in other words, Olivia is gonna get married with two of you at the same time?”

Ethan: “N-No way! There’s no way that Olivia would marry such an old uncle. She said she likes men younger than her.”

James: “If you say that, then my fiancée also said the same thing. She said she has no interest in someone younger.”

James: “There is no way that she would make a mistake as marrying such a child.”

Ethan: “With all due respect, I am an independent person. Isn’t it too much to say “such a child”?

Andrew: “Anyway, why don’t you two ask your fiancée directly to confirm? Maybe they are twins who live away from others.”

Grayson: “Isn’t this a marriage fraud?”

Lucas: “I thought so too.”

Ethan: “That can’t be true!”

James: “We will know right after confirming with her.”

Ethan: “That’s right. Let me make a call to Olivia—”

Ethan: “What? There is no signal.”

Noah: “We could use wireless LANs though.”

James: “This is strange…”

Andrew: “My phone can’t connect either.”

Lucas: “It was connected until a while ago.”

Grayson: “James-san, the state at the floor is nowー”

James: “Get down!”

*The power suddenly went out*

Ethan: “ーー”

Noah: “Eh!? W-What!?”

Lucas: “A power outage!?”

*Grayson and Andrew put their guns out*

*Shifts to the ship’s hold*

Andrew: “Maybe that’s a hijacking.”

James: “There are too many enemies for a normal hijacking.”

Andrew: “This is strange. There wasn’t a single customer there a while ago.”

Greyson: “Right before the power outage, customers began to move all at once. This is no doubt a corporation.”

James: “I can’t say for sure yet, but it might be better to think that everyone except us is the enemy.”

Ethan: “W-What does that mean? What are they aiming for?”

James: “We still have no idea about it. Anyway, we should think about a way to escape this ship safely for now.”

James: “I will go first. Grayson will be behind me, and Andrew will be in defence of these three.”

Grayson: “Yes sir.”

Andrew: “Yes sir.”

Lucas: “You guys all have experience in the army by any chance…?”

James: “Aah. We’re friends in the same unit.”

Noah: “How reliable!”

Ethan: “W-wait a minute. In the first place, we don’t know if those guys are on the same boat with us or not.”

Lucas: “Now is not the time to say that.”

Ethan: “Like, even Olivia’s case is not still clear yet.”

Ethan: “I can’t trust someone suddenly saying that my fiancée, who is going to get married to me tomorrow, is the same person as his fiancée.”

James: “That’s the same for me too. I don’t mind if you don’t want to follow us.”

Ethan: “ーーW-Wait a minute!”

Andrew: “Isn’t it too bad to leave the president’s son behind?”

Grayson: “Our career advancement opportunities are gonna be out of reach.”

James: “...Tsk.”

Ethan: “For now, I’ll put Olivia’s case on hold. But that doesn’t mean I completely trust you.”

James: “This is why Bocchan is so troublesome.”

Ethan: “What?”

James: “No, nothing.”

Noah: “Uhmー, by the way, can I go back to my room?”

James: “We don’t have time to break now.”

Noah: “Ah, actually I’ve brought a drone here since I was thinking of using it for some photoshoot.”

Noah: “Even if the drone can’t connect through wireless communication now, it can communicate through infrared, and it has a camera too so wouldn’t it still be useful?”

Andrew: “It may be useful to watch the enemy’s movements.”

James: “There is a possibility that the cabin is now surrounded.”

Grayson: “Then I’ll be going.”

James: “If it’s impossible after checking the situation, give up and come back here.”

Grayson: “Yes sir.”

Izumi: (As expected of the ex-militaries. Thanks to the hair makeup, they look dignified and powerful.)

*Short timeskip*

James: “How is it? Do you find something?”

Lucas: “From the time being, the information recorded on the terminal can be easily obtained though…”

Lucas: “It’s gonna take a lil’ bit of time to get the information that requires access to the headquarters' database.”

Lucas: “Anyway, I’ll share this ship’s map that is quite useful.”

Noah: “Uhmー, I’m currently looking around the ship, but it seems like it’s gradually getting farther away from the port.”

Ethan: “It was supposed to return to the port overnight as planned.”

Andrew: “Where on earth is it heading to…”

Grayson: “I’m sure it’s not a good destination.”

James: “First thing first, let’s find a lifeboat to escape from this ship.”

Ethan: “In addition, in order to communicate with others outside this ship, we should look for the signal jammers.”

Ethan: “That’s no doubt the reason why the radio waves suddenly stopped connecting.”

James: “Then, let’s split into 2 groups. Grayson, preparing for the field. Lucas, please continue to analyze here.”

James: “And Noah, lend me the drone.”

Noah: “Ahー, the operation is quite complicated so only me can handle it.”

Noah: “Since the radio waves are blocked, you can’t control it unless you’re close to the infrared.”

James: “Then you go with Andrew and secure the lifeboat.”

Noah: “It’ll be like that after all…?”

Andrew: “I will guarantee your safety as much as possible.”

Noah: “I’m looking forward to working with you…”

James: “I will go find the signal jammers.”

Ethan: “What should I do then?”

James: “Bocchan should have some tea here.”

Ethan: “ーーI��ll go with you, James-san. I’ve learned self-defense and gun shooting, so we’ll work in pairs.”

James: “Do as you wish.”

Izumi: (Their blatant hostility towards others is perfect. It’s the kind of relationship that only works because it's Azami-kun and Sakyo-san.)

*Shifts to the cabin*

James: “Stop!”

Ethan: “ーーTsk.”

James: “If you didn’t come here to be a handicap, then at least don’t get in my way.”

Ethan: “...Depending on the function of the signal jammers, there are several patterns of placement to cover the vast interior of the ship."

*James & Ethans run*

Ethan: “However, no matter which pattern is, there should always be one placed around here. It’s not that way.”

James: “Does that mean you've simulated all the patterns?”

Ethan: “It’s not that I’ve simulated all of it before. You can get it right away once you look at the map.”

James: “I see. Seems like “genius Bocchan”' isn't just for show."

Ethan: “Can you stop calling me Bocchan.”

*Short timeskips*

James: “ーーApparently, your reading is correct. It’s a bingo.”

Ethan: “Once we stop this jammer, we can at least call the police from here. Nowーー”

James: “Wait. It comes with a bonus.”

Ethan: “?”

James: “A bomb. If you touch this carelessly, the bomb will explode.”

Ethan: “If that happens, its effect on the ship willーー Don’t tell me, the other jammers also have a bomb with it?”

James: “The possibility is high. Maybe they’re planning to sink this ship.”

Ethan: “That’sーー”

James: “We will go back for now. I’m also curious about Andrew’s report.”

*Back to the ship’s hold*

Ethan: “All the lifeboats are gone?”

Lucas: “Then how are we gonna escape from this ship.”

Grayson: “That means the bombs are all bluff?”

James: “No, they didn’t look fake at all.”

Ethan: “Unless they are planning to go down with the ship, their comrades are probably supposed to come pick them up.”

Ethan: “Once they accomplish their goal, won't they contact their comrades and sink the ship to destroy all the evidence?”

Noah: “What do you mean by their goal…?”

James: “Their goal is undoubtedly one of us, or even all of us. There were no corpses around this ship, and no one was running away except us.”

Noah: “What should we do then if there is no way to escape or contact the outside?”

Lucas: “It’s an escape game for real.”

Ethan: “Not something we can joke about.”

James: “For the time being, if we can clean up all the enemies, we can spare some time until the bombs explode.”

Ethan: “Please don’t say that easily.”

James: “If Bocchan doesn’t get in the way, we can do it.”

Ethan: “If that’s the case, let me tell you thisーー I think taking control over the cockpit and heading to the port would be faster than dealing with all the enemies.”

Ethan: “Calling for backup and escaping would take time, but if we get closer to the port, we might be able to escape.”

James: “Well, it’s worth a try. Then, are you going to tag along with me again?”

Ethan: “Yes, of course. I haven’t completely believed in you yet.”

James: “Andrew, follow me. Grayson, continue to take care of this place.”

Andrew: “Yes sir.”

Grayson: “Yes sir.”

Izumi: (Noah, the robot enthusiast, and Lucas, who’s into hacking, make a great brainy team. Compared to the former militaries team, it gives a really interesting feeling.)

*Shifts to the cabin*

SP: “Ethan! Where are you! I have been hiding due to the president’s request! Are you alright!?”

Ethan: “That isーー An SP. I’ve seen his face before. What a relief, we are saved! I’m right here!”

James: “Waitーー!”

SP: “I’m glad you’re safe… Finally caught you.”

Ethan: “?”

Andrew: “ーー”

James: “Wait. Now is not the time to show your face.”

Ethan: “Let go of me! What are you going to do!?”

SP: “If you value your life, be quiet and behave.”

Ethan: “You tricked me!”

Andrew: “...” James: “It’s okay. He didn’t shoot Ethan.”

Andrew: “Their purpose is kidnapping, isn’t it.”

James: “In that case, there is no need to involve us in this.”

Andrew: “There seems to be no doubt that Olivia is also involved.”

James: “...Leave questioning for later.”

*Shifts to the main hall*

SP: “...Contact headquarters.”

Terrorist A: “It took an unexpected effort.”

Ethan: “...”

*The phone rings*

Ethan: “!?”

SP: “Answer it.”

Ethan: “Eh? Can I?”

SP: “If you say anything thoughtless, I’ll kill you right away.”

Ethan: “...Understood.”

Ethan: “Oliviaーー Are you there?”

Olivia: “Yes. I’m sorry.”

Olivia: “I didn't intend to disturb you today, but I have something that needs to be checked about tomorrow’s wedding arrangements.”

Ethan: “That’s not the point! Nowーー”

*Sounds of bullet being loaded*

SP: “...” Olivia: “What happens?”

Ethan: “N-No, nothing.”

Olivia: “Is that so? By the way, I just got a call from the venue, and it seems the flowers we ordered won't be arriving.”

Olivia: “White is okay, but if there has to be some mix, which one would be better, pink or red? Considering Misaki's image, maybe purple?”

Ethan: “Ah, that’s right…”

Olivia: “Ethan also thinks so? What a relief! Then, I’ll contact the staff right away.”

Ethan: “Rather than that, I want to ask you something.”

Ethan: “Do you know James? He is the secretary for congressman Brown, and he is going to have a wedding with you tomorrow…”

Olivia: “With me? Who?”

Ethan: “It’s James.”

Olivia: “What are you talking about? You’re the guy who will have a wedding with me tomorrow, Ethan. Could it be that you're starting to regret your last single night?”

Ethan: “You really don’t know him?”

Olivia: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re drunk, aren’t you.”

Olivia: “Show your face properly tomorrow, okay? I'd never want to stand alone at the venue just by myself.”

Ethan: “Y-Yeah. I already know it.”

Olivia: “Then. Good night. I love you.”

Ethan: “ーー”

SP: “That’s fine. If you obediently listen to what I say, I won't’ take your and your friends’ lives.”

Ethan: “Really?”

SP: “However, there is 1 condition. Bring James and others to the cockpit.”

Ethan: “Eh?”

SP: “You were aiming to take control over the cockpit, weren’t you? Unfortunately, this ship is controlled from the outside.”

SP: “If you try to touch the equipment, it’ll explode.”

Ethan: “No way…”

SP: “I’ll release you, so bring James and others. If you do that, I’ll save your and your friends’ lives.”

SP: “You know the location of the cockpit right?”

Ethan: “...I know it.”

*Sounds of shooting gun”

James: “Ethan!”

*Sounds of loading bullet and shooting gun*

SP: “ーーTsk.”

*They starts to shoot guns towards others*

James: “Come here!”

Ethan: “ーー”

*Shifts to the cabin*

James: “Any injuries?”

Ethan: “I’m fine… But why…”

James: “I can’t leave the president’s son alone.”

Ethan: “...”

James: “What’s wrong?”

Ethan: Oliviaーー No, there’s nothing.”

James: “There is no doubt that woman is involved in this incident. I understand you have lingering feelings, but you need to let her go. Their goal is to kidnap you."

James: "Most likely, they plan to use this as leverage to negotiate with the president. Once they're done, they might sink this ship along with everything."

Ethan: “...”

*Shifts to the ship’s hold*

Lucas: “Welcome back. I was finally able to break into the headquarters’ database.”

Lucas: “For the time being, what seems to be useful in the current situation is the number of enemies and the wiring diagram. And here is the list of enemiesーー”

Ethan: “Thisーー”

James: “As expected, Olivia is one of them. She must have gotten close to us to gather information.”

Ethan: “That’sーー”

Noah: “W-Well, at least you found out before getting married.”

Lucas: “You may be killed the moment you know it.”

James: “What should we do now? Shall we aim for the cockpit again?”

Ethan: “The cockpit on this ship cannot be used. They said that the control is completely left to the outside.”

Ethan: “In other words, it’s impossible for the terrorists to escape unless they are picked up by their comrades. There is no point in annihilating the cockpit.”

James: “...And?”

Ethan: “They promised me to save our lives on the condition that James-san and others were handed over.”

Ethan: “If their goal is to kidnap me and leave the ship, then I'll let them achieve their goal and make the call for the pickup.”

Ethan: “ After that, we'll hijack the rescue ship. That’s the only way.”

James: “That’s fine. It’s a great strategy for Bocchan.”

*Shifts to the cockpit*

James: “? What does this mean? There is no one hereーー”

Terrorist B: “Don’t you dare to move.”

Andrew: “ーー”

James: “We are surrounded.”

SP: “Thank you, Ethan. You saved us.”

Ethan: “...”

James: “Ethan?”

Andrew: “Did you betray us?”

SP: “There are 3 people here. What about your other friend?”

Lucas: “We disagreed on betraying James-san and the others this time. We had a falling out.”

SP: “Well that’s fine. 1 student doesn't make much of a difference. Let's quickly take care of the three of them."

James: “...Didn't you notice that one of the bombs you carefully planted all over the ship is missing? If you shoot now, we will die together.”

Terrorist B: “There’s no wayーー”

Terrorist C: “That’s fine. Leaving you here would lead to the same result anyway. Contact headquarters. We're withdrawing."

SP: “Originally, we were supposed to let the son go down with the ship as well.”

SP: “Negotiations are gonna take time, so you'll be coming with us. Consider yourself lucky.”

Ethan: “In other words, James-san and others' terms didn't matter at all?”

SP: “You made things easier for us. But honestly, you were more persistent than we expected and it was troublesome.”

Announcer: “10 seconds left until the explosion.”

Terrorist B: “!?”

SP: “What the heck is this drone? Something like this wasn't part of the planー”

Terrorist C: “More than that, what on earth is the “10 seconds left until the explosion”ーー”

SP: “Don’t panic! Shoot it down!”

Ethan: “That Noah guy, even if you said you’re going to use it to get their attention, this is…”

James: “That’s enough.”

*They start shooting guns towards others*

Terrorist B: “Urgh!”

SP: “Youーー!?”

James: “You two, lie down!”

Ethan: “Y-Yes!”

Lucas: “How many times do I have to come close to dying in just one night…!”

*Shifts to the cabin*

Noah: “There are several small boats moored side by side. Only the driver is on board.”

James: “Well, they will have to carry lots of people. Alright, let’s go.”

Ethan: “What do you mean by going, how do weーー”

James: “Jump!”

Ethan: “Eh!?”

Andrew: “Hurry up!”

Noah: “Hehhhhh!”

Lucas: “How many times do I have to come close to dying in just…!”

*Shifts to the lifeboat*

James: “Who's in charge of the steering?”

Ethan: “I have the license.”

James: “Then, I’ll leave it to Bocchan.”

Andrew: “Haa… It was a hard bachelorette party.”

Grayson: “If it's a training, you should have told me earlier.”

*The bomb explodes*

Noah: “Uwah, it really exploded.”

Ethan: “That was a close call.”

Lucas: “I wonder how many times I’ve come close to dying in just one night. Please give me a break from this real life escape game.”

James: “We’re escaping right at dawn.”

Ethan: “What are you going to do with today’s ceremony?”

James: “Bocchan, what is your plan?”

Ethan: “I’m going.”

James: “I’m also going as planned.”

Lucas: “Are you out of mind?”

Noah: “You must be kidding!”

James: “Please take good care of me, groomsmen.”

Andrew: “I thought you would say that.”

Grayson: “It can’t be helped.”

Noah: “I don’t know what happens anymore!”

Lucas: “I don’t wanna die yet…”

*The phone rings*

Izumi: (From now, during an audio-only call, Ethan and James will have a quick change)

Ethan: “Are you there, Olivia?”

Olivia: “Ethan? Where areーー”

Ethan: “We’re almost at the port. The ship was delayed a bit, but it's okay. There's nothing to worry about.”

Olivia: “...Is that so?”

Ethan: “Because I’ll be on time for the ceremony.”

Olivia: “E-Ehh. Wait for me a minute.”

*Arriving at the port*

Lucas: “Why do we need to bother dressing up formal when it's just going to get dirty anyway...”

Grayson: “It seems difficult to move.”

James: “You can't show up at a sunny wedding in a wrinkled suit.”

Ethan: “It might feel better if you get it completely dirty later.”

Andrew: “You two are really a good match.”

Audiences: “!!”

Izumi: (Alright, these two’s quick change is a success! The audiences were surprised. The rest is…)

Noah: “We just need to stall until the police arrive, right?”

Noah: “I brought as many drones and robots as I could, but they're not really meant for combat against people to begin with.”

James: “That’s enough to create distraction.”

Ethan: “Sorry for making you both come all the way here.”

Noah: “It can’t be helped, right. If I’m the only one not here, they'll probably get suspicious, and if I end up being alone, that could be dangerous too."

Lucas: “So I’ll hide with Noah and support him.”

Grayson: “Let’s finish all these things soon.”

Andrew: “I’m sleep-deprived after all.”

James: “Ethan, have you prepared your vows yet?”

Ethans: “It’s all in my head.”

James: “Very good. Let’s go.”

Izumi: (Now Noah and Lucas will step back, and Taichi's quick change and makeup... We've practiced so many times, so it should be fine.)

*Shifts to the ceremony hall*

Terrorist D: “They came!”

Terrorist E: “Kill all of them except the president’s son!”

Andrew: “We've got some dangerous guests gathered here.”

Grayson: ”You should be more careful choosing who you date.”

James: “That’s painfully true.”

Terrorist D: “You’re causing us trouble!”

Ethan: “That’s my line!”

Noah: “Ready?”

Lucas: “GO!”

*The robots start intruding*

Terrorist E: “!? W-What the heck are these!?”

Terrorist D: “Damn it, I can’t see anything!”

Andrew: “It's rude to cause violence in a church.”

Terrorist E: “Urgh”

Grayson: ��Guess it's perfect for a confession.”

Terrorist D: “Ughh”

Ethan: “It was supposed to be the best day of my life!”

Terrorist F: “ーーUgh”

James: “And now it has become the worst day of my life.”

Terrorist G: “Urrghーー”

Olivia: “You really came. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Ethan: “Olivia!”

Audiences: “!?!?”

Izumi: (Okay, a success! I can tell that the audiences are now gasping)

Olivia: “I love you, Ethan.”

Ethan: “Olivia, Iーー”

Olivia: “That’s why behave yourself.”

*Olivia loads the bullet*

James: “Ellude, Ethan!”

Ethan: “ーー”

Olivia: “ーー”

Olivia: “Tsk. You're really tight-lipped and overly cautious, such a boring man, James!”

James: “Who was the one saying she liked that about me.”

Ethan: “Olivia, these are all lies after allーー”

*Ethan fights against Olivia*

Olivia: “ーーUgh”

Olivia: “I didn’t know you could do something this rough, Ethan. You’re much more charming now.”

Ethan: “You’re terrible! It was! Supposed to be! My first love!”

*They start to fight against others*

Olivia: “Tch, stop shouting! This is why I can't stand kids!”

Ethan: “ーー”

James: “Well, there was at least one truth in what you said. Goodbye now.”

*James shoots Olivia*

Olivia: “ーーUrgh”

*Olivia passes out*

Ethan: “Olivia!”

James: “She hasn’t dead yet. It’s a tranquilizer gun. I guess she was trying to shoot you with that.”

Ethan: “...”

James: “Ethan, how about the vows?”

Ethan: “In sickness and in healthーー”

James: “To honor and cherish each othersーー”

Ethan: “And be faithful to others as long as we both shall liveーー”

Ethan: “There’s no way I could swear that!”

James: “Bastard.”

*They both throw away the rings*

*Shifts to the port*

James: “After all, marriage doesn’t work like business.”

Andrew: “Obviously.”

Grayson: “But I thought marriage might not be that bad.”

James: “Where in all of this can you think that way?”

Ethan: “Haa… I even thought that was my soulmate…Next time, I'll take more time to understand the person before getting married.”

*Noah and Lucas appears through video call*

Lucas: “Please do so.”

Noah: “I’ll tell you this, I’ll never go to the bachelorette party again.”

James: “Well, you should work on improving your judgment of people, Bocchan.”

Ethan: “The same to you.”

*Shifts to Mankai Stage*

Audience A: Azami-kun and Sakyo-san being buddy were so cool!

Audience B: Isn’t it!? I even did a triple take because these two are both blonde!!

Audience C: Taichi-kun’s dual role really surprised me!

Audience A: The quick change and makeup were really amazing~!

Audience B: Speaking of which, the ex-militaries team is insane. They’re so cool.

Audience C: The Ethan team gave the greatest nobility!

Azami: Thank you for coming this timeーー Thank you so much!

Sakyo: Thank you!

Sakyo’s mother: …

Miyako: Onii-chan, you were so cool~!

Sakyo: ーー.

Sakyo’s mother: Azami-kun too!

Azami: Thanks…

Azami: (To be honest, I didn’t understand what is love or true love but…) (***)

Azami: (Perhaps living with this kind of compassion and supporting each other... is what true love is)

Azami: (This, what am I thinking…)

Sakyo: Why are you giving me that look? Let’s go all out with fanservice!

Azami: Annoyingー.

Azami: (Well, it’s okay once in a while. Only once in a while)

Translator’s notes:

(*) SP stands for Security Police.

(**) I think this is a reference to the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (百人一首) - a classical Japanese anthology of 100 Japanese waka by 100 poets.

(***) Love is for 恋 (Koi) and 愛 (Ai) is True love.

Part 1

Kumon: Haa~ I had fun at the batting center~

[ Azami’s phone pings with a notification. ]

Azami: Nn? Who’s it from?

Kumon: Is Kantoku asking you to help her buy stuff or something?

Azami: ……

Azami: Nope, t’s a job offer.

Kumon: You mean, a commission for ZAMI!?

Azami: Yeah.

Kumon: Well, you /did/ become famous after that idol survival show~ You really are super cool! [1]

Azami: Well, I do appreciate havin’ commissions comin’ t’me.

Azami: Can’t possibly accept alla them though, so I vet through the ones piquin’ my interest t’see if I’ll accept ‘em.

Kumon: Heh— Are there any you’re considering now?

Azami: Now that y’mention it, something like this…

Male student: This Graveyard Area [2] seems interesting~ Should we go take a look again once they open?

Female student: Yeah! It’s a little scary, but…… it seems like there’s been an increase in staff members at the mansion.

Kumon: Just now…… I wonder if they were talking about that haunted house we helped guide customers in before?

Azami: ……

Kumon: Azami?

Azami: No, t’s nothin’.

---

Kumon & Azami; We’re back.

???: —With that being said, I’d like to request you all to play the roles of undertakers!

Tasuku: An undertaker, huh…… It’s not a role I’ve tried before, so I’m rather interested.

Muku: Um, I’ve seen the advertisements! It looks like there’ll be quite the turnout as a date spot!

Izumi: Ah, welcome home, Kumon, Azami.

Kumon: We’re home! Are you guys possibly talking about Graveyard Area, that haunted house that seems to have become a hot topic recently!?

Izumi: That’s right. You went for the job back then.

Izumi: Ayase-san over here has come for a face-to-face consultation, saying he would like us to act as guides again.

Ayase: Thank you for the efficient explanation.

Ayase: Do allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Ayase. Today, I have come with the intention of requesting everyone’s assistance once again.

Ayase: I had a vision of the makeup for the few days of the opening to be the same as the one for our previous event, so I sent a job commission to ZAMI-san……

Azami: Are you perhaps the person commissioning me to do colourful makeup?

Ayase: That’s right! Azami-san is ZAMI-san, right?

Izumi: I see. So the commission for the undertaker’s makeup went to ZAMI.

Azami: Yeah. Since our company’s helped as guides at the haunted house before, it got my attention so I was tryna decide if I’d accept the request……

Azami: But since the request’s come t’the company too, then it’s perfect timing.

Ayase: Which means, you will accept my commission?

Azami: Yeah.

Ayase: Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to working with you! If it’s alright with you, would you like to be a guide as well?

Azami: Eh, me too?

---

Part 2

Muku: It seems like they would like around three people for the few days of the opening to help out along with publicising.

Azami: Muku-san, are y’participating too?

Muku: Mhm. If I could become someone’s Cupid…… Never mind, it would be presumptuous of someone like me.

Azami: Uh, it probably ain’t really like that. So the other person confirmed t’be participating is……

Tasuku: That would be me. I talked to Tsumugi before about being a guide in the haunted house and took an interest in it.

Ayase: Thank you both so much, truly! And speaking of which, these are the dates where I’d like to request assistance for.

Azami: ……

[Choose!]

Don’t spread yourself thin.

Focusing solely on the makeup?

---

[Don’t spread yourself thin.] Izumi: You don’t have to spread yourself thin for this.

Azami: ’s fine, the schedule looks fine, so I got it.

Azami: I’ll do both the makeup and the guide role. Can learn a lot that way after all.

---

[Focusing solely on the makeup?] Izumi: Will you be focusing solely on the makeup? After all, it was a commission for ZAMI……

Azami: I thought about that, but I feel like the makeup will change based on whether I play th’guide or not.

Azami: An’ the schedule aligns with mine anyway, so ‘m gonna join in.

---

Ayase: Thank you so much……!

Izumi: In that case I’ll be counting on you, Tasuku-san, Muku-kun, Azami-kun.

Ayase: I have plans to set some time before the opening for another meeting with everyone regarding things like the production, so I hope you will allow me to discuss the itinerary at a later date.

Izumi: I understand.

Ayase: I would also like to host the other company members on the opening day, so I would like to extend an invitation to those who have the time to experience the event.

Kumon: You’re inviting us!? I’ll definitely go!

Azami: Ayase-san, about the makeup. I’d like to discuss some stuff before confirmin’ the final look, ‘s that okay?

Ayase: Of course!

Izumi: (So it’ll be a makeup look designed by Azami-kun this time. I’m quite excited to see how it’ll turn out.)

---

Ayase: Thank you very much for making time for me today.

Ayase: Without further ado, I will be having the staff walk you through the venue. This is with the intention of helping you get an idea of the direction and ambience.

Azami: I’ll be in your care.

---

Ayase: —And that concludes everything. What do you think?

Azami: The difference in ambience and direction between the lobby and the other rooms…… was a little surprisin’, but it was interesting.

Azami: (I wanted t’see the one Masumi-san an’ the others did before. Feel like the difference in th’makeup looks could’ve become a good reference point……)

Azami: ……

Ayase: Are there any points in the direction that stand out to you? Please tell me without holding back.

Azami: Nah, I think the walkthrough was fine.

Azami: However, you said during the last meeting that you wanted a colourful look similar to the previous event for the makeup……

Azami: Considering stuff like our roles as undertakers, as well as our outfits an’ the ambience, I think other makeup looks would be more suitable.

Ayase: I see. If you have a better idea for this, I would like to go for it.

Azami: Okay. One more thing related to that.

Azami: I know y’said that the duration of the commission would just be the publicity period, but I thought it’d be kind of a waste since you’ve got this kinda direction.

Azami: So I’ll think of something that the staff will be able to do. I mean, t’s probably better if the staff here are able to apply makeup on their own.

Ayase: Thank you very much. However, it would be quite the hassle to create the elaborate looks every time……

Azami: I hear ya. That’s why I want you to relax, because I won’t design any elaborate looks, but somethin’ that makes the roles stand out in this place.

---

Kumon: I’m so excited for the Graveyard Area! I wonder what sort of place it is~

Kazunari: It’s bustling as usual over here! Kantoku-chan, thanks for inviting us!

Izumi: You’re welcome. Enjoy yourselves to the fullest as customers this time, you two.

Azuma: The usual Tasuku may not be there anymore once we go in.

Tsumugi: Fufu, that in itself is something to look forward to.

Hisoka: …… I’m also interested in seeing how Muku will act as the guide.

Announcement: Thank you for waiting. The event will open now……

---

Part 3

Staff: Welcome to the Horror House. [3] Please line up over here.

Kumon: Huh, I’m pretty sure I heard discussion about wanting colourful makeup looks for the staff……

Izumi: Yeah, I heard that too. But…..

Male Student: …… Somehow, it feels more horror-like than the last time we came?

Female Student: Ah! It’s the makeup of the people guiding us. They didn’t have any on last time, but it fits the ambience of the mansion so well—!

Izumi: (It looks like that student couple has noticed it.)

Azuma: …… Fufu, that’s makeup only he can do.

Kumon: Yup yup, it’s all thanks to ZAMI!

Azuma: The impression changes quite a bit with just a little bit of ingenuity, almost like casting a magic spell.

Izumi: (So this is the makeup look Azami-kun came up with…… He truly is a wonderful artist that goes above and beyond what’s requested.)

---

Master of the mansion: …… Welcome to my manor.

Kazunari: Sure is new to see the role I played before being done by someone else!

Master of the mansion: I’ve also been welcoming some other guests today……

Muku: …… Please excuse us. We have arrived to process the body of the Master’s friend.

Master of the mansion: I’m counting on you.

Guest A: Just now, that person was holding a skeleton, right? Scary……

Guest B: Wah, there’s something floating……?

Guest C: There’s ghosts all over this mansion!

Guest B: I see! T-The ghost is following that person.

Guest A: Then, was that skeleton that ghost’s body?

Muku: …… Everyone, do come this way.

Kumon: I think we’re being taken to the new area.

Kazunari: Mukkun’s holding it so carefully.

Hisoka: …… Thank goodness, the role-building was effective.

---

Guest A: That’s the coffin, right? The skeleton’s been put in there, so is it done?

Muku: ……Then, I’ll leave it to you.

Tasuku: Understood. …… Then, I shall begin to prepare the body and face.

Guest B: Huh, but what he’s touching is the skeleton, right……?

Tasuku: Oh, so that is what everyone is seeing…… However, we see it like this.

[Thunder and lightning effects, along with the appearance of the “ghost”.]

Guest C: Woah, I can see his face!

Guest D: Amazing……!

Tsumugi: I think he’s even more into his role than I was during my time playing the guide.

Azuma: This is probably what undertakers are like.

Azuma: The type of people who think about a person’s life before their end, even if that person is reduced to a mere skeleton.

Hisoka: …… Looks like they’ll rest well.

Tsumugi: Yeah, you’re right.

Azami: …… And now, for the final step.

Izumi: (Ah, it’s Azami-kun’s turn.)

Azami: We will be conducting a send-off here in this mansion.

Guest A: A send-off? I wonder what they’ll do……

[Azami climbs into the casket.]

Guest B: T-That person, he’s getting into the casket!

Azami: May you be able to sleep in peace……

[Azami closes his eyes, and a light floats around him before disappearing.]

Guests: Wow……!

Guest C: When that person hugged the skeleton, its expression changed……!

Guest D: It seems more peaceful than earlier. Like he’s just sleeping.

Kumon: It really seems like they’ll be able to rest in peace after being sent off in such a beautiful manner…… Good for the ghosts!

Azuma: Fufu, it’s quite moving even though it’s a haunted house.

---

Kazunari: Good workies, everyone!

Tsumugi: You guys were great as the guides.

Azami: We were told y'all were invited, but so many’a y’all came?

Kumon: The makeup came out great!

Azuma: As expected, Azami’s good at doing makeup no matter the kind. It’s made me want to have mine done again too.

Azami: Sure, Azuma-san. Just tell me when you’ve got another dinner party or somethin’.

Azami: Rather, sorry t’burst the bubble while yer complimentin’ me, but the ones who did the makeup were the staff. I just came up with the design.

Hisoka: …… Is that so?

Azami: Lookin’ long-term, t’s meaningless ‘f the staff can’t apply makeup for the performers. So the staff’ll prolly be happy ‘f ya gave them yer feedback.

Tasuku: No, that plan preempted as well for future projects, and it was definitely the mark of a professional’s work.

Muku: That’s right. The staff also said that it was very helpful!

Azami: …… All I did was complete th’job I was given.

Kumon: Azami’s blushing!

Azami: Shuddup!

Izumi: (He truly did a wonderful job. It would be nice to continue watching over his activities as ZAMI.)

[1]: Original text said サバ番, which refers to entertainment industry variety shows where talents compete against each other to become idols. Think Squid Game but not a death game (lol).

[2]: The text said 墓地エリア which translates directly to "Graveyard/Cemetery Area", so I translated it on the assumption that it's the name of the haunted house.

[3]: ホラーハウス usually just refers to "haunted house", as in a noun. But they way it was phrased felt more like a name to me, hence the direct tl and keeping it as a name.
