Taisho Roman Opera ~My Friend, What Are You Thinking Of?~/Event Scenes

01

Translator: mitsuba_to
	Oooh! The set is amazing! So this is the Taisho era!
	Wow... It’s like we travelled back in time...!
	Brick buildings, stone pavement, there are even gas lamps~! Wow~ It’s like we’re in a foreign country~!
	So this is what Japan looked like in the olden days... Was there no electricity?
	It was an era where everything was still gas and steam powered. Since civilization was rapidly increasing, from this era onwards we advanced to power plants and electricity had spread.
	Really? It’s completely different from our era.
	Ah~ there’s a rickshaw~! Yay, Kanon’s gonna ride it♪
	Me too, me too! I’m gonna ride it first!
	W-Wait! I want to ride it too! Don’t leave me behind~!

02

	I-I can’t take this anymore... This old man is at his limit... Wait, let me rest.
	Mister Yamashita, Are you OK?
	Not okay. I expected this, but kids have a monstrous supply of energy...
	I plan on trying the stamp rally now. What about you two?
	Wow, sounds fun! Of course I’ll go with you♪
	I’ll pass... Apart from Rui, Hazama-san... aren’t you a bit too energetic?
	Not at all. I’m just watching my pace.
	That’s Hazama-san for you... Have fun. I’m going to hang around here.
	We will meet up at the cafeteria later.
	See you soon☆ Bye-bye, Mister Yamashita♪

03

	So Kanon’s role is Rui-sensei as a kid, huh? Okay, watch this! “Hello! Mister Yamashita! Did you enjoy with Mofumofuen?”
	Ahahaha! You sound like Rui-sensei! My role is... “This old man’s got no energy, alright? I’m no match for you guys~”
	Ahaha! That’s something Jiro-sensei would say~!
	We’re playing the roles of the teachers when they were little...
	Oh, that serious retort sounds like Michio-sensei~!
	But Jiro-sensei doesn’t really seem like a teacher, does he~?
	Isn’t he a chemistry teacher?
	He said that you can turn stones into gold with alchemy!
	What the heck, that’s so fishy! I wanna try chemistry too!
	Uhm, guys... Science is a proper subject, you know...?

04

	Ah... Aaah-choo!
	Are you okay, Yamashita-kun?
	Yeah, I’m fine... I think someone is gossiping about me.
	Gossiping...? Could it be the Mofumofuen boys we’re co-starring with?
	We’ve rehearsed together as our characters in their childhood and adolescence, but I’m genuinely surprised by their professionalism.
	A story about making a promise for the future and walking different lives.
	So it’s a parting? You can really feel the uncertainty of life...
	The theme of this movie is the power and value of an unbreakable promise and bond.
	Wonderful! We have to do our best to convey that to the audience♪

05

	Back, check. Collar, check... Yup, my outfit’s ready. (sigh)... I can’t keep calm. I’ll practice my lines one more time. Ugh... No matter how many times I say this line, the director says that it’s still not good... He said that “We’ll always be together” is the most important line. But... I don’t know... I can’t take it anymore! Getting told that it’s not good a lot makes Kanon angry~! But... It’s frustrating not being able to do it properly...
	What’s wrong?
	*cries* Nao-kun! I can’t say my line right~
	The one you were saying earlier? O-Okay, I’ll help you practice.
	Eeeh? Even I’m getting worried! I’ll help too!

06

	Is it time for the real take? That ends my last script check. ...Oh my. The Mofumofuen kiddies are more nervous than we are.
	It’s not surprising. Even though they are former child actors, they are still young. No matter how much experience one may have, there is no such thing as a perfect person.
	Yeah, you’re right... Shall I go intervene?
	So they'll cheer up, right? Sounds like a good idea!
	Hehe... Well, we should help each other in times of need.
	Hm... As expected of Yamashita-kun. Maita-kun, let’s go.
	Sure! Let’s put on an extraordinary smile♪

07

	(giggle)... (giggle)... Ahaha!
	Hehehe... The teachers were so funny!
	Hehe... W-We shouldn’t laugh. Hehe... They went to all the trouble of relaxing us.
	But Jiro-sensei is laid-back at times like this too. “I will now show you Hazama-san’s funny face.” (giggle)...
	He was worried about us, wasn’t he? Adults are amazing.
	Is this what they call the composure of an adult? That’s so funny!
	I thought Jiro-sensei didn’t seem like a teacher but he’s really nice. Michio-sensei looks scary but he’s actually dependable and funny. And Rui-sensei is cute even though he’s an adult... Is this what it’s like when you become an adult?

08

	“I hate to say this, but this is where we part ways...”
	“Sorry. I was supposed to go to the battlefield together with you two...”
	“It can’t be helped with the condition your body’s in. Besides, wielding a sword isn’t everything.” “Whatever path we may take, the feelings we have towards our country are the same. I must do what needs to be done.”
	“Yes. The promise we made that day is still forever etched in our hearts.” “I will not give up searching for something that I can do here.”
	“Even if we are apart, our hearts will always be one at that place.” “...Farewell, my friend.”
	“Let’s meet again... Surely, at that place.”
	...Everything’s going along smoothly. My throat’s in good condition too.
	The Mofumofuen boys are relaxed too. We won’t lose to them!
	Yes. Let’s continue to push forward to the end.

09

	“Oath of the Peach Garden...?”
	“Yeah. During the Three Kingdoms period, three men that were born at a different times and places...”
	“Took an oath to devote themselves to their country and die together.”
	“That’s nice! Let’s take an oath as well! Don’t adults exchange cups?”
	“But we’re kids so we can’t drink alcohol.”
	“Uh... Then let’s bury treasure instead!”
	“Yeah, that sounds nice. I only have this at the moment though... Okay, let’s cover it with the dirt.”
	“...That makes us brothers now. We’ll a~lways be together even when we become adults.” “Let’s do our best for the country! That’s a promise... Don’t forget it...!”
	Wow, the applause is amazing! The director looks satisfied as well! We did it!
	Ehehe. Okay, lift your hands up high~ High five! Good job♪

10

	It has ended without any problems... It seems that we were able to fulfil our roles.
	That was a perfect stage! The applause didn’t stop. Especially... Mister Yamashita! That was a marvelous performance! Fabulous!
	...Well, as an adult, I can’t look shameful in front of Kanon-kun and the others, right? If I did, wouldn’t I lose face? Well, things like this are okay once in a while.
	Being warmhearted is Mister Yamashita’s charm point☆
	Right~? I think so too~ ...Just kidding... Hehehe.
	Yamashita-kun, Maita-kun, it’s time for the curtain call.
	Okay. Well then, let’s go!
