Iroha
(When I think about it, so many things have happened through theatre.)

Iroha
(Back when I was in Gingaza's children's division, I dreamed of one day standing on the same stage as Onee-san.)

Iroha
(I innocently believed that as a member of the Senju family, once I grew up, I'd surely develop a Sense of my own.)

Iroha
(But a Sense never manifested for me...I hit a wall, and I quit Gingaza...and acting altogether.)

Iroha
(And because of the inferiority complex of being a Senju without a Sense, I said hurtful things to Onee-san.)

Iroha
(That she could never understand how I felt because she had a Sense. That I wished I'd been born with one too...)

Iroha
(I regretted it for so long...that I'd hurt Onee-san, driven by nothing but a feeling of inferiority.)

Iroha
(After leaving Gingaza, I drifted away from theatre...but in high school, when Mito-chan and I went to see a Denki performance, I was deeply moved.)

Iroha
(Thanks to finding Denki, I was able to want to do theatre again...)

Iroha
(Because everyone in Denki accepted me as an actor. I was able to feel that acting was fun again.)

Iroha
(And yet...even after joining Denki, I let my inferiority complex get the better of me again, and I hurt someone precious to me...)

Iroha
(Even so, Mito-chan and everyone in Denki forgave me. ...Come to think of it, the people of Denki have saved me over and over again.)

Iroha
(That's exactly why I want more people to know about Denki. People who've never seen us perform, and even...Grandmother...)

Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
However, your troupe, Gekidan Denki, is ultimately nothing more than a group that was given an opportunity because the judging criteria were expanded.

Iroha
I'll show you too, Grandmother...our acting!

Iroha
(And then, earn her recognition...!)

Towa
What's got you so fired up? Don't tell me you're trying to carry everything on your shoulders again.

Iroha
Towa-chan...! N-No! I'm not...carrying anything on my own!

Towa
Look, I said all that stuff to your grandma, but don't stress about it too much, okay?

Iroha
Huh?

Tsubomi
Have you forgotten, Senju? Having fun ourselves first-that's the Denki way, isn't it?

Iroha
...!

Towa
Now that you get it, give us a real fired up line, leader!

Denki Troupe Members
"Let's hear it, leader!" "Give us a good one!"

Iroha
(That's right...of course!)

Iroha
Everyone...I always dreamed of standing on a big stage like this someday. But that was a dream I'd once nearly given up on.

Iroha
And yet now, I'm standing on the stage of that dream...and it's all thanks to everyone in Denki!

Denki Troupe Members
Iroha-chan...

Iroha
Let's do it the Denki way, just like always-pull off an absolutely incredible performance and make the audience have the time of their lives!

Denki Troupe Members
"Let's gooo!" "We're gonna crush it!"

Towa
Heh, look at you, you can say stuff like that after all. Denki just wouldn't be Denki without this.

Tsubomi
Let us deliver smiles to everyone watching, with the strength of us all.

Iroha
(Thank you so much, everyone...and just one thing I'm sorry about, Towa-chan.)

Iroha
(Towa-chan said she'd make Grandmother see the truth. But what I really want, more than anything, is something else...)

Iroha
(I want Grandmother to watch everyone in Denki-the friends I've been performing alongside all this time-and...)

Iroha
(Even if it's just a little...I want her to think it was interesting. That she enjoyed it.)

Iroha
(Because she never got to see me perform before...I want her to watch my acting and smile!)
