Panda
Hey, poor Monsieur Marius. You promised me, didn't you? That you'd give me anything I wanted.
Shizuka
I said that. So tell me. What are you trying to say?
Panda
I found the address.
Shizuka
Address of what...no, of whom...
Panda
It's obvious. The address you asked me for.
Panda
Someone you know well.
Shizuka
Then.
Panda
The home of that beautiful young lady.
Shizuka
What a day! Take me there! What reward would you like? Tell me anything!
Panda
...Follow me.
Chisa
...
Yae
Shizuka-san is being pushed back.
Kathrina
(The subtleties that a woman like Éponine carries. To be able to express it this far...)
Kathrina
Not bad at all.
Shamo
Fufu.
Yae
Panda-san, you were wonderful...!
Kokona
Yeah, yeah! It really made my heart skip a beat!
Panda
Niizumachii, Kokochi, thank you.
Shizuka
I give up. I was pulled into Éponine's emotions halfway through. I almost lost my balance.
Panda
Hehehe! Perhaps the fruits of my research are finally blooming!
Shizuka
But I recovered properly, didn't I?
Panda
You did!
Panda
...However, my acting at the very end. That was a failure.
Kokona
Ehh!? But it was so good...?
Shizuka
I didn't think it was bad either?
Yae
Was it because you showed too much of yourself?
Panda
Whoa, correct! As expected of Niizumachii.
Kokona
Huh, what do you mean?
Panda
Well~, I was on a roll and got carried away. Because of that, my desire to show more just bubbled up...
Shizuka
I see. I thought it was good acting filled with emotion.
Panda
Well, we'll see how Hiiragi-san interprets it.
Kokona
I see... I still thought it was good though.
Panda
It might be good depending on the direction. But in this case, I think it wasn't right.
Panda
I'm glad I noticed before the actual performance.
Panda
Thanks to that, I feel like I've gotten closer to becoming a Dai Star.
Yae
I'm looking forward to your performance♪
Hana
It was different from the Éponine in that video.
Noa
But she managed to arrive at a good performance.
Hana
Seems like she's been studying a lot of materials, influenced by Sasuga. The lights in the living room were on until late at night.
Noa
Even though we told her to rest properly.
Hana
But that's what's good about Panda.
Noa
After seeing that performance, I can't even be angry.
Chisa
...
Kathrina
Panda, I didn't think you'd go that far.
Chisa
No, Panda is always cool. I believed this would happen.
Kathrina
As expected of a childhood friend.
Kathrina
Next is Sasuga's turn.
Chisa
...Do you still think my acting isn't enough to play Jean Valjean, Kathrina?
Kathrina
...Even at this point, I think it's amazing. The acting of Sasuga Chisa the actor.
Kathrina
I'm sure anyone at Sirius would give you the same answer.
Chisa
I see...
Kathrina
But you don't think so, do you? That it's still not enough, that you can do better.
Chisa
!? W-why...
Kathrina
It's obvious. When you're troubled, you stop doing things you usually do.
Kathrina
You've been spending less time with Panda lately. And whenever you have free time, you're thinking about your role.
Kathrina
I can tell just by looking that you're thinking about or worrying about something related to your role.
Chisa
...You're right.
Kathrina
Well, be satisfied by the time of the performance.
Kathrina
Otherwise, I'll use you as a stepping stone.
Chisa
That would be a problem.
Kathrina
Oh? Why?
Chisa
Because the Sirius stage isn't something created by one person.
Kathrina
That's right. I'm looking forward to it, Jean Valjean.
Chisa
Yeah.
