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.)
