Shigaraki Daikoku
Daikoku: ‘The calm sea, the sound of the waves, the hot sand, beautiful shells...... My father, my mother and I...... memories of happy times......’
Daikoku: ‘Maybe I'm collecting memories of happiness...’
Daikoku: Ahh......no matter how many times I read it, it's a wonderful script. My Lord's talent knows no bounds......!
Daikoku: When I get home, I can't help but re-read it. This might be the first time I've read a script this thoroughly......
Daikoku: I guess it's because I can relate to the main character......
I really feel at home in this depressing life......
Daikoku: Shigaraki Hiyori......she doesn't seem like a stranger to me....... I'm the one playing the role, so she's not a stranger......
Daikoku: My Lord said that she didn't do any guesswork when it came to writing it. If she says so, it must be true......
Daikoku: But it must be because of this main character that she chose me to play the lead role.
Daikoku: I must be truly grateful for my Lord's kindness......!
Daikoku: My acting is the worst...... That's what Tetra-san told me......
Daikoku: If I want to fulfill my Lord’s wishes, I can't afford to complain......!
Daikoku: I can’t rely on my Sense, so I have no choice but to read the script carefully and make the role my own......!
Daikoku: With my own will, I will follow my master no matter what. If I do that, I'm sure I can become Shigaraki Hiyori......!
Hatsumi: Today's rehearsal is the scene where Hiyori and Asmodeus meet. Are you ready?
Daikoku, Shigure: Yes!
Daikoku: (I've been thinking about Hiyori so much...... I'll definitely fulfill my Lord’s expectations......!)
Iruru: That means Nikako and I will just be observing for now.
Nikako: Da-chan! Shigure-chan! I'll learn from you!
Shigure: Please watch Shigure's leading role level acting closely, okay?
Daikoku: This brat's getting too cocky......
Shigure: Hah! At the very least, I'll give a better performance than Daikoku-senpai!
Hatsumi: That's enough. If you're an actor, you should put all your boiling emotions into your acting.
Daikoku, Shigure: Yes......
Hatsumi: You've put in some serious effort lately. I'll acknowledge that.
Daikoku: I-It's an honor to hear my Lord say that!
Shigure: Hmph! I don't need Hatsumi to tell me, Shigure is perfect~
Hatsumi: If things continue as they are, the performance will be wonderful. Believe that and work hard.
Hatsumi: Then, let's start the rehearsal!
Hatsumi: Today's practice is a continuation of yesterday's. We'll start with the scene between Hiyori and Asmodeus.
Hatsumi: You should be quite used to your roles after practicing these past few days. But don't let your guard down, okay?
Daikoku, Shigure: Yes!
Hatsumi: First, let's start with Asmodeus announcing his name.
Shigure: Well, let's get started.
Shigure: ‘I am...... ugh...... the demon king Asmodeus, commander of 72 legions......! Ugh...... give me your blood and flesh......!’
Daikoku: ‘I’ll call an ambulance! An ambulance...... a car...... cough......! I'll call one......cough cough!’
Iruru: Huh......? Daikoku wasn't acting, was she......?
Nikako: Da-chan! Are you okay!?
Daikoku: Why......cough......why......cough cough!
Shigure: Hey Daikoku-senpai, if you're joking, stop right there.
Daikoku: T-This can’t......cough cough!
Hatsumi: Daikoku, you don't need to talk any more.
Iruru: Could it be......you hurt your throat?
Nikako: Your throat......right......?
Hatsumi: If you overwork your throat, your vocal cords will become inflamed and you will lose your voice. This is common for singers and actors, but......
Hatsumi: It's possible that something might happen. Let's take you to the hospital right away. I'll drive, so the rest of you practice on your own.
Daikoku: Uhh......
Hatsumi: We’re back.
Daikoku: ......
Nikako: Welcome back! How was Da-chan's throat......?
Hatsumi: It wasn't an injury or an illness. As expected, it was caused by overworking her throat.
Iruru: Ah......Daikoku, maybe you were too enthusiastic. We around him should have been more concerned......
Hatsumi: It seems she were practicing a lot on her own. That must have caused more fatigue in her throat than she thought.
Nikako: But...... Da-chan, you were just practicing hard......
Shigure: Only by managing these things yourself can you be a first-class player. She hasn't even become an actor recently, so what is she doing?
Iruru: If you say that, then we're also to blame for pushing Daikoku too hard. I'm really sorry......
Daikoku: ………….
Hatsumi: Fortunately, the symptoms seem to be mild. They say that if she doesn't speak up for a few days, she will recover.
Hatsumi: There is still plenty of time before the show. Daikoku, your priority is to heal your throat for now.
Daikoku: ………….
Shigure: Haaah! I was doing so well! You're the lead, so don't drag me down.
Iruru: Shigure, that's too much.
Shigure: Hmph!
Daikoku: ………….
