Koyomi
So, what did you want to discuss...?
Direction Chief
The new venue was just announced. There may already be those getting restless, but...
Direction Chief
I don't want to invite unnecessary confusion within the troupe. Keep what I'm about to tell you to yourself.
Gingaza PR
Knowing how perceptive you are, you've probably already noticed. I'll be direct.
Gingaza PR
A letter arrived from the World Theatre League. They wish for a stage of higher quality from Gingaza, with its tradition and achievements.
Koyomi
(I had a feeling, but as I thought...)
Direction Chief
We're currently selecting the next program, but we intend to have you perform in an important role without fail.
Gingaza PR
The next performance will have World Theatre League observers. You understand what this means, don't you?
Koyomi
...Of course.
Koyomi
(The intensive period for Dai Star selection. The visit of the judges. Preparing a place for me to shine there means, in other words...)
Direction Chief
Considering your ability and track record, it was decided at the management meeting. This stage will be built around you.
Gingaza PR
The OGs, the sponsors, the supporters' association...many people involved with Gingaza hope for your selection.
Koyomi
(In other words, they'll nominate me as a new Dai Star candidate. All the expectations placed on Gingaza, I'll carry them all onto the stage...!)
Koyomi
Thank you for giving me this valuable opportunity.
Koyomi
As an actor representing Gingaza, and as an actor of the Senju family...I will devote myself to fully carrying out this important role.
Direction Chief
I'm counting on you. I believe you'll certainly rise to the occasion.
Gingaza PR
That's all. Please keep this confidential from the other troupe members.
Koyomi
I understand. If you'll excuse me then.
Koyomi
(Nomination for Dai Star... it's heavy)
Koyomi
(I've never once taken the family name and Gingaza's reputation lightly. But this responsibility is greater and heavier than ever before...)
Koyomi
Haah...
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
Sighing as soon as you get home?
Koyomi
-! ...Grandmother.
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
I wouldn't expect such behavior from one who should carry the Senju family on her shoulders.
Koyomi
I apologise for showing you such an unseemly sight. I was just lost in thought.
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
The messenger from Paris will visit, won't they. To assess the brilliance of Gingaza's first magnitude star.
Koyomi
...You knew.
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
Is there anything to agonise over at this point? As a Senju actor, do what must be done.
Koyomi
Yes. I will devote myself even more to rehearsals to present a performance worthy of Gingaza's first magnitude star.
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
Very well. There must be no repeat of the previous stage.
Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
A Macbeth whose attention from the audience is stolen by Lady Macbeth would be buried among the light of the Dai Stars.
Koyomi
Yes...
Ramona
Koyomi? You've had an especially stern face since this morning. Is something troubling you?
Koyomi
Ramona-san...no, there's no need to worry. I was just thinking about something.
Ramona
I see. That's good then...but that's unfortunate.
Ramona
I was thinking of inviting you, Koyomi, but if you're busy, I'll hold off for today.
Koyomi
...What do you mean? Where is everyone going together?
Lilja
I'm going with Ramo to help with the juniors' rehearsal. Maybe I'll find new beauty.
Xue
I'm just killing time. Koyomi-san, why don't you take a break? Most people will be gone from the rehearsal space anyway. You'll have it to yourself now.
Gingaza Troupe Members
Wolf-senpai, hurry hurry!
Gingaza Troupe Members
If we don't hurry, we'll run out of time!
Ramona
Got it, I'm coming. Hikari and the others haven't joined us yet, but let's prepare ahead.
Ramona
See you later, Koyomi. Let's meet again at rehearsal.
Koyomi
Yes...
Koyomi
(If the evaluation of me carrying the next stage as the lead star isn't favorable, all of Gingaza's stars will be looked down upon...)
Koyomi
(This isn't just a matter of the Senju family's honour. Their fate also depends on the next stage.)
Koyomi
(I must become an even stronger, greater light. To protect this galaxy as well...)
