Koyomi
Pardon the intrusion. ......!

Koyomi
(Even though proper rehearsals haven't started yet, there's an incredible tension in the air...)

Koyomi
(So these are the Dai Stars gathered from around the world...)

Koyomi
(...No, I mustn't let myself be overwhelmed. I too am an actor of the Senju family, and a Dai Star representing Gingaza.)

Koyomi
(I will fulfill my role, and shine even on a stage filled with nothing but Dai Stars.)

Staff
Alright, it's time. Everyone, please gather around.

Staff
...I'll be serving as support for all of you as Dai Stars. I look forward to working with you.

Staff
I'm sure you're all already acquainted, but let's go around with brief introductions, if you would.

Koyomi
I'm Senju Koyomi, here from Gingaza. It's a pleasure to be working with all of you.

Yae
I'm Niizuma Yae from Troupe Sirius.

Yae
It's a great honor to be performing with everyone. I look forward to working with you.

Mito
Ah...I'm Shiromaru Mito, from Gekidan Denki...! I'll do my very best not to hold anyone back. I look forward to working with you!

Staff
Then, the next person...from Troupe Olympus-

Staff
-Thank you, everyone. After this, you're free to practice individually until the next scheduled time.

Staff
The director will be joining us a little later, so please save any questions for then.

Staff
The scripts are right in front of-

Yae
(My role for this production...Hiiragi-san explained it to me beforehand...Zeus, the lead of 'Mischief of the Gods'...)

Noa
...Yae, this is the assigned piece from the World Theatre League for the Dai Stars, along with the casting.

Yae
Zeus...this is the role I've been given...

Noa
That's right. The assigned piece, ;Mischief of the Gods', is an original script based on mythology.

Noa
That said, Zeus's actions are more or less in line with what mythology tells us. Even with Hera as his lawful wife, he turns his eye toward other women.

Noa
The story focuses on that aspect, you could say. And that's exactly why the lead role of Zeus goes to you, Yae.

Yae
At the 'Dai Star Festival', no less, and with so many other Dai Stars present...I'm playing the lead?

Noa
It's rare to see you nervous...but I suppose that's only natural. On top of that, the Zeus portrayed here is an androgynous, flirtatious pretty boy.

Noa
For you, Yae-someone who's handled orthodox roles and purely charming characters up until now-this will be new territory.

Yae
...Up until now, whenever I got to take on a new role, I always felt excited, like it was something really fun.

Yae
It's just, this time-

Noa
Yae. You said something to me before, remember? ..."Someday, let's stand on stage together again."

Yae
Huh...?

Noa
If you still want to stand on the same stage as me...then overcome this, no matter what kind of role it is.

Noa
...As Sirius's Dai Star.

Yae
!

Yae
(That's right...I'm one of the Dai Stars in Sirius. Just like Hiiragi-san...)

Yae
I'm so sorry for saying something so faint hearted! Thank you, Hiiragi-san.

Yae
I promise I'll see the role of Zeus through to the end on the World Theatre League stage.

Yae
And beyond that, I'll keep growing so I can take on all kinds of roles. ...Just like you, Hiiragi-san.

Noa
Yes, I'm counting on it.
