SCENE II. Hall in Sumeragi's house.
[Enter Aoki, Karen, Sorata, and two Serving men (Keiichi)]
Aoki: Why do I have to be the bad guy, anyway?
Anyway. Here's the guest list.
[Keiichi exits with the list, then comes back in because he has to be the other serving guy.
-_-;]
Go hire me twenty good cooks.
Keiichi: [now the second servant] Yes, sir. I'll make sure they lick their own fingers.
[Kamui, backstage, turns vaguely red. Karen giggles.]
Aoki: What?
Kamui: [muttered] That was pretty much my reaction.
Keiichi: Well, if they won't eat their own food as they're cooking it, then they must not be very good cooks.
Aoki: Oh, OK. Go on, then.
[Keiichi exits]
My son's gone to Friar Keiichi?
[a groan is heard from Keiichi, backstage]
Sora: Yeah.
Aoki: Well, maybe he'll talk some sense into Subaru. He's being such a harlot!
Subaru: [backstage] Oi!
Sorata: Here he comes, and he looks happy.
[Subaru enters]
Aoki: Hello, my headstrong son! Where have you been at?
Subaru: [eyes downcast] Where I was told to repent for being disobedient to you and your requests. Friar Keiichi asks that I bow before you and ask for your forgiveness. I'm sorry! From now on I will do as you say.
Aoki: Go to Kamui and tell him. We'll have them married tomorrow morning.
Subaru: I saw him at Keiichi's and gave him what love I could. But I didn't overstep the bounds of decency.
Aoki: Oh, this is good. Bring Kamui to me anyway. I'd like to talk to him. Our whole city is grateful to the holy Keiichi.
Subaru: [neutrally] Sorata, will you help me pick out my clothes for tomorrow?
Karen: No, wait until tomorrow. There is enough time.
Aoki: Go, Sorata. Go with him. We'll have the wedding tomorrow.
[Exit Subaru and Sorata]
Karen: It's almost night. Let's have dinner and go to bed.
Aoki: No, I'll be up getting things ready. Go to Subaru and help him get ready. I'm not going to bed tonight. Leave me alone. I'll do your work for once. Ah...no one's awake. Well, I'll walk to Kamui's to let him know. I'm very happy that my son is behaving again.
