Chapter 1: Children and Adults

Hatsumi: Everyone, I want you all to practice the performance like I instructed by next rehearsal. That's all for today's rehearsal.

Daikoku: Good work everyone......

Nikako: Phew, Time really flew by today~!

Iruru: Hatsumi, you got a sec? I wanna talk to you about a fault that popped up today......

Hatsumi: Sorry, Iruru. I've got plans today. I really have to get going.

Iruru: Ah...... Then I'll speak to you tomorrow then.

Iruru: ......

Nikako: Irurun? Are you feeling alright?

Iruru: Hmm? I'm fine~. It's been a while since I played a lead role, so there's a bunch of pressure.

Nikako: I see..... I guess even you can feel the pressure sometimes too.

Iruru: Well yeah. Even the veterans feel pressure sometimes.

Shigure: Hmmm? Sounds like a pain~. How about I take Salome's role from you~?

Shigure: Shigure's sense fits perfectly with the role, she's gonna win everyone over.

Iruru: You too, Shigure? You also have those nerves of steel? I'm kinda jealous of you sometime, to be honest......

Nikako: You really take this seriously, hey~. I need to keep practising so I can catch up to everyone.

Shigure: Aha.♪ Trying to catch up is futile~. But if it makes you feel better, I can rehearse with you in place of Hatsumi if you want.

Iruru: Oh, you're willing to help out? That works out since I wanted to practice a scene with 3 people anyways~.

Nikako: "Where is the man who acts on his own desires, and is overfilled with sins? Where is the woman who seperated from him and married his brother?"

Iruru: "Oh guard, who is that man mad at, and why is he mad? Is this about mother and my father-in-law.....?"

Shigure: "That's not the case. Princess, you must not listen to that prophet's words."

Nikako: "What a horrific royal family. They cannot be forgiven. They should be tried for their crimes!"

Shigure/Iruru: ......!

Nikako: Hmmm? Isn't Shigure next?

Shigure: Ah......

Iruru: That really surprised me...... I didn't know that you could put that much spirit into your performance.

Nikako: Really? I really got into the role, and got excited......

Shigure: And before you were all over the place as well~. You've really improved haven't you.

Nikako: Right!? Whenever I can really get into the role, I really feel like I'm having fun acting.

Shigure: Don't get ahead of yourself, Nikako~. Well, recently there's been a lot of rivals in Eden.

Iruru: That's true. Whether it's Nikako or Daikoku, Hatsumi's really raised a pretty lively troupe.

Nikako: Speaking of which, why did you join Eden, Shigure? Were you scouted by Ren-san like me?

Iruru: Shigure joined on her own accord.

Shigure: Because Hatsumi-san was there. Before that, I would take acting lessons.

Nikako: I see! That's how it was!

Shigure: I would watch a bunch of plays, but her's were the outstanding ones.

Nikako: Ren-san's performances are really something...... They really suck you their won world with their eccentricity.

Shigure: But, one day Shigure will overtake Hatsumi-san.

Iruru: There's that attitude again~.

Iruru: Wait, it's already this late?

Nikako: It's is too! Sorry for taking up everyone's time. Shigure, are you alright getting home?

Shigure: There still a bunch of time for practice isn't there?

Nikako: In that case, Irurun and I are going to grab some food, did you want to come along?

Shigure: Food?

Nikako: There's a family restaurant right in front of the station, isn't there? The one with the white billboard. They've got omurice and a limited edition parfait going on right now.♪

Iruru: Ah, but aren't your parents going to be worried? It's going to be dark outside and you're an elementary student as well.

Shigure: ......

Nikako: I see. I guess I can't really invite you like you are my classmate...... Well another time then!

Shigure: Hmph. That excitement, you're such a child. Shigure has no interest in this, you two can do whatever~.

Nikako: Alright, I'll invite you next time then!

Shigure: Like I said, I'm never going with you!

Shigure: That's it for today.
