Denki Troupe Members
"Hey, hey, have you gotten your passport yet?" "Not yet~, I really need to get on that soon, huh."

Denki Troupe Members
"Should we maybe study English too?" "Uh, that's way too hard." "Guess we'll just have to get by with body language."

Iroha
I thought things would settle down once the World Theatre League was over, but it's been way busier than I expected.

Mito
Yeah...but it's amazing, right? Apparently we've been getting inquiries from all sorts of places about sponsoring Denki...and a collaboration show with an overseas troupe, even...

Iroha
Wow~, that's so exciting! To think this many people have gotten to know about Denki...I'm so moved!

Mito
I'm a little anxious too, but...I think the excitement is winning out for me...

Iroha
Let's keep working hard so we can make the audience enjoy themselves even more, Mito-chan!

Mito
Yeah...!


Hatsumi
About the next touring performance-is preparation moving along without any issues?

Iruru
Yep, no problems. Everyone else seems to have caught fire after the World Theatre League, too.

Hatsumi
Yes, I've been feeling that constantly while watching rehearsals. Truly dependable...and resilient. That's our Eden.

Hatsumi
(Hm? A call from an unknown number...who is it?)

Judge K
"Apologies for the sudden call. I was one of the judges for your assessment at the Dai Star Festival."

Hatsumi
! Well now...I'm honoured to receive a direct call from a legendary actor known as a Dai Star.

Hatsumi
So, what business do you have with me?

Judge K
"I'll cut straight to the point. There's a theatre competition I'd very much like your Eden to participate in."

Judge K
"It's a competition I'm involved in as a judge and organiser. I don't think it's a bad deal...what do you say?"

Hatsumi
Who knows. I'm not in this for the glory of winning prizes.

Judge K
"Let me rephrase. I'm offering you a chance to prove yourselves. ...An opportunity to show the theatre world that your stage is the pinnacle."

Judge K
"Or...have you already given up? If so, that would be a shame."

Hatsumi
Hah, hardly...fine, I'll play along. You've got yourself a deal!


Gingaza Executive
Good work at the World Theatre League, both of you. Senju, you were named the brightest Dai Star.

Gingaza Executive
And Wolf-while you weren't selected as the brightest troupe, I've heard that Gingaza's performance was very well received by the World Theatre League judges.

Koyomi and Ramona
Thank you very much.

Gingaza Executive
...Now, enough preamble-let's get to the main topic. The reason I've called you both here today is to discuss the future of Gingaza.

Gingaza Executive
...As I'm sure you already know, a new troupe will be formally established, separate from Gingaza.

Gingaza Executive
This new troupe, standing alongside the Galaxy, will be named...'Nebula'. And its leader will be...Ramona Wolf.

Ramona
...Yes!

Ramona
(I've made up my mind...the world I glimpsed on that stage-I will lead everyone and become a star shining at the zenith of the galaxy.)

Gingaza Executive
Senju Koyomi for the Galaxy, Ramona Wolf for the Nebula. I want the two of you, as leaders, to work together and weave the future of our troupe.

Koyomi
Understood.

Ramona
Yes.

Gingaza Executive
...That is all.

Koyomi
(Lately, things have been changing at a dizzying pace day by day. In the past, change was unnecessary for Gingaza, which prized tradition above all.)

Koyomi
(But now...this change is surely something to be celebrated. New places have been created, and new room for stars to shine has been born.)

Koyomi
(The galaxy is changing shape, in the best way...expanding alongside the actors' performances...continuing to shine. Unyielding, even to the passage of time.)


Panda
Haaaaah...the World Theatre League, we really gave it our all, huh~.

Chisa
Yeah...glad it all wrapped up safely~.

Kokona
Haaaah...I still can't believe it..that we actually performed in front of the World Theatre League people...

Yae
My, my, everyone's in relaxation mode again today. Fufu.

Shizuka
Excuse me. Don't let Panda and the others drag you into spacing out too, Kokona.

Panda
Aw, come on, what's that about...besides, you should bask in the afterglow with us, Oshizu-chan~.

Kathrina
Haven't you basked enough already? The night of the Dai Star Festival, every single one of you was just staring blankly in the bath.

Chisa
Ahh, that night I was practically floating to heaven. You could say it was truly...a bath time paradise.

Panda
Was that a pun!?

Noa
Sorry to interrupt the fun, but if you'll excuse me. I have something to tell everyone, just briefly.

Kokona
Oh, Hiiragi-san! Hello!

Panda
What's the occasion? Did the schedule for the next show get finalised or something?

Noa
Well, there's that too, but...that's not the only thing for today.

Shizuka
Not the only thing...? Did something happen?

Yae
(! Could it be...)

Noa
Actually, the thing is...I'll be returning to the stage as an actor, performing alongside all of you. I wanted to properly let everyone know today.

Kokona, Shizuka and Kathrina
..................

Panda, Chisa and Yae
..................

Kokona
WHAAAAT!?!?!?

Panda
W-Wait a second! There was an age restriction rule in Sirius, wasn't there!?

Noa
I think Shamo-san will make the formal announcement later, but...that rule is being abolished.

Noa
Apparently Shamo-san had been planning to remove it all along, and after hearing how I felt, she made the decision.

Noa
There's no reason to hold back an actor who wants to shine, she said...that I'm still an actor who can aim for the star at the zenith.

Noa
This is thanks to all of you. Watching your performance, I remembered...that deep down, I'd been yearning for the stage all along...

Noa
That's why I'm giving it another shot. I'm going to stand on stage as an actor again, and this time, aim for the summit-becoming a 'World Dai Star'.

Yae
(Hiiragi-san, back on stage too...! Fufu, finally...! It's finally come true!)

Yae
I'm so, so happy that I get to stand on stage with you, Hiiragi-san! I look forward to working with you from now on♪.

Kokona
Hiiragi-san is aiming to become...a 'World Dai Star' too...! Then we can't fall behind either...!

Shizuka
Of course not. We already decided, didn't we, Kokona? That we'd definitely get there.

Noa
Yes...once you've become a Dai Star, the next destination is to become a 'World Dai Star'. Let's get there someday. With everyone's strength.

Sirius Troupe Members
Yeah!!!
