Chapter 5: Let's All Swap
Panda: Has everyone selected a role~? What's written on there is who you'll be playing, I don't want to hear any complaints!
Kokona: Ahh~... I'm kinda nervous...!
Chisa: A tree, a tree, a tree...
Panda: That wasn't in the lot.
Panda: Anyways, ready...
Panda: Everyone have a look at the results!
Kokona: ...!
Shizuka: Kokona, who did you get?
Kokona:C-Christine...!
Panda: Ooh~~! To have played Phantom and now Christine, that's pretty hype!
Kokona: How about you, Kathrina-chan?
Kathrina: I got Sorelli.
Chisa: So, Kathrina will have the first line then. I got Carlotta. I didn't get the tree...
Panda: By the way, Panda got Raoul! So, I'll be Koko-chan's childhood friend!
Shizuka: I got Richard, so part of the sub-cast.
Shizuka: Which means that-
Yae: I'm Phantom ♪
Kathrina: Niizuma's...
Shizuka: Phantom...!
Yae: Let's do this Kokona-san.
Kokona: Alright...!
Kokona: W-what do I do, Shizuka-chan? I'm so nervous. I'm going to be acting with Yae's Phantom...!
Shizuka: Why are you nervous now!? Go and put on Christine act that can rival Yae!
Kokona: I-I'll do my best...!
Panda: Well, this is just some fun to be had while practicing! You don't have to take this too seriously!
Kathrina: "19th Century Paris. There were some bizarre rumours spreading around the Opera House."
Chisa: As expected of Kathrina. Immediately setting a high bar for the performance.
Panda: She's got a strong sense, so it's makes sense her reading is better than what everyone here can do... But still, she's good...
Shizuka: "Sorelli, lets turn it up a notch!"
Kathrina: "Alright!"
Chisa: "How many times do I have to tell you? My throat isn't feeling too good tonight."
Panda: (... That was pretty good, Sassu...)
Chisa: "Christine, Christine!"
Kokona: "H-here!"
Chisa: "I'll leaving tonight's concert to you."
Kokona: "Are you sure about that?"
Chisa: "I'm leaving it up to you because it's you. You are my ghost after all."
Kokona: "Alright, I'll sing my heart out!"
Yae:...
Panda: I don't know why, but seeing Koko-chan playing Yae's role reminds me of the newbie auditions.
Shizuka: Kokona was imitating Yae back then too.
Panda: I remember thinking "Is this newcomer alright~?" back then,
Panda: But she's all grown up now...
Shizuka: But her interpretation of Christine is still shallow. It's not like she's fully in the role of Christine.
Panda: Well, this is just a one time thing, lets just have some fun!
Kokona: "The angels above... Are you listening to my concert tonight?"
Kathrina: Next up is Phantom's- Niizuma's line...
Yae: ...
Yae: "Well done, Christine. I'm sure that the thunderous applause reached you."
Chisa: She's locked in...
Panda: This is the power of a Daistar...
Kokona: ...
Shizuka: Kokona! What are spacing out for!
Kokona: Ah!
Kokona: "So you were looking over me! I was singing my heart for you!"
Kathrina: Niizuma, you're not holding at all...
Shizuka: You would do the same, wouldn't you?
Kathrina: Of course, I don't want to lose after all.
Yae: "Christine, you said that you wanted to meet me again, didn't you?"
Kokona: "That's right."
Yae: "In that case, I'll invite you to my home. Gaze at your reflection at the mirror."
Panda: Here comes Phantom's appearance...!
Yae: "I am within the reflection."
Kokona: "!?"
Panda: LETS GO!
Panda: -wait what...?
Chisa: That was kinda cute.
Kathrina: Probably because Niizuma is so small.
Kokona: Ehehe, it's kinda embarassing having you so close to me like this.
Yae: Hnng... I was trying my best to look good...
Shizuka: It's not that it looks bad... But Yae-chan is really just small and cute...
Kokona: Ah! But Yae-chan's still in 5th grade, there's still lots of room to grow!
Chisa: You can still play young roles too. And with Christine, the height disparity was a highlight too.
Yae: ...
Yae: (Even though Hiiragi-san is an adult, Sasuga-san is basically the same height and was able to play a child in The Little Prince.)
Yae: (If I want to become a World Daistar, I have to be able to play any role despite my height.)
Yae: (I'm still just a small, immature child.)
Yae: (I want to hurry and become an adult.)
