One Resolution

Hikari: Ah, Ramo-san. Um......

Ramona: I'm back. Sorry for making you worry.

Hikari: Really? You didn't get kicked out after fighting with sensei......?

Ramona: No, I would never leave my beloved Gingaza.

Xue: Don't cause any more trouble. Everyone's already on edge as it is.

Ramona: We have something to say to everyone about that. Right, Koyomi?

Koyomi: ......I have something to say to you all as the leader of the troupe. Please forgive me for speaking so presumptuously.

Koyomi: I am the leader of this play, Senju Koyomi.

Koyomi: All I have to do is to make 'Macbeth' a success. By succeeding, I will protect the Saint-Claud star.

Koyomi: And......

Koyomi: I will be a guide in aiming for innovation while protecting tradition. I believe in what I have done so far and in my own beliefs.

Lilja: Hmm......Koyomi......?

Gingaza Members: Wait, Senju-san is saying something. Be quiet.

Koyomi: As you know, Gingaza is currently being questioned about the need for change. You may also be confused and worried about what you should do.

Koyomi: I admire you all for having ambition even when you are in a difficult situation, and for working hard at your training day and night, giving it your all.

Koyomi: We want to aim higher, to create even more excitement. As the lead actor, I share your strong enthusiasm.

Ramona: Koyomi...

Koyomi: However, theatre is a collective art. We all have to face in the same direction and move forward. So let me show you the path we should take.

Ramona: Tell me. What is the path we should take?

Koyomi: ......We have something that other theatre companies don't have. The knowledge of high-quality stage production that has been passed down from our predecessors.

Koyomi: This has created many moving moments, regardless of the changing times. Even if it goes against the flow of the times, it has continued to illuminate the world.

Koyomi: This the tradition that has made Gingaza Gingaza. It has survived to this day despite being repeatedly tested by the trials of time.

Koyomi: It is precisely because the world is changing that it continues to remain the same. I think that is also what attracts people to us.

Koyomi: I believe in the knowledge of those who have built Gingaza. A new, changing Macbeth.

Koyomi: So if you are still unsure. If you are troubled by feelings that you can't find a place to express.

Koyomi: Please entrust your passion to me, the leader...... No, please entrust it to the new and changing Macbeth.

Ramona: I understand your point. Let me just confirm one thing.

Ramona: The tradition we must protect has definite value, right?

Koyomi: ......Yes.

Koyomi: It is my mission and resolve to demonstrate that value. I don't want to disappoint those who have left.

Ramona: I see.

Gingaza Members: Now that Senju-san has said that, there's no time to be worrying. Maybe we can give this new direction a try......!

Hikari-san: Koyomi-san is so cool......!
Lilja: ......Yeah.

Xue: Hmph, that's to be expected of the leader.

Xue: Well, that's settled then. Let's continue with the rehearsals!

Ramona: ......Damn.

Ramona: (I agree with you about wanting to preserve the tradition. But it's not something you should have to carry alone, is it?)

Ramona: No, I have no right to say anything to you now......

Chief Director: ......

Koyomi: (We'll compete with the traditions we've preserved. That's the way of Gingaza. But even so, this production of Macbeth changes those traditions slightly.)

Koyomi: It can't be helped, since it's our goal. After giving that speech, I'm being contradictory…...

Playwright: Senju-san, may I have a word?

Chief Director: I have something to say.

Koyomi: Um, how can I help you, sensei? If I made an inappropriate speech, I apologise.

Chief Director: It's not your fault. It's our responsibility for not being able to dispel the actor’s anxiety.

Chief Director: I promise you, no matter how this 'Macbeth' turns out, you actors will not be cut loose.

Playwright: Please leave the trouble to the adults and rest assured.

Koyomi: Thank you, teacher.

Chief Director: This time's ‘Macbeth’. I know it's hard for you, but are you sure you want to take it on?

Koyomi: Yes. I'll make this ‘Macbeth’ a success. I have no intention of ending the Gingaza tradition.

Koyomi: Excuse me.

Chief Director: ......

Playwright: She’s starting to look like her mother.

Chief Director: She’s inherited her mother's determination......
