The Journey Continues
Reporter: Good evening. Tonight is ‘Night on the Galactic Railroad’ which is attracting a lot of attention; we are here at the Gingaza in Ueno, Tokyo, where it has just finished its premiere!
Reporter: Let's ask the audience what they thought of the show right away! How did you like the show?
Rinko: To put it mildly, it was great! To begin with, Gingaza's ‘Night on the Galactic Railroad’ has a long tradition of producing many Dai Stars.
Reporter: It seems to be very well received! I will now return to the studio!
Rinko: I'd like to talk about it more!
Xue: (Night on the Galactic Railroad successfully survived its premiere)
Xue: (Germany responded to Giovanni with the most infuriating Zanelli; despite having been a birdcatcher who was having trouble catching his birds, she also pulled that role off.)
Xue: (Finland acted beautifully in her few appearances. It is a tricky play that attracts more attention than just the leading roles.)
Xue: (Hikari did a great job playing the role of a young man who is the exact opposite of his image. The director even gave her a rare round of applause. She will also be a formidable opponent.)
Xue: (Koyomi-san is-)
Former Troupe Member A: ‘Night on the Galactic Railway’ was a masterpiece reminiscent of the golden age of theatre. Can they become the North Star that guides the theatre world?
Former Troupe Member C: This critic is a very harsh person who rarely praises things.
Koyomi: Such praise is unnecessary.
Former Troupe Member B: You can rest your wings, but you mustn't be satisfied here. Spread your wings, wherever you go. Aim for great heights.
Former Troupe Member A: Cultivate courage and move forward bravely. Gingaza is left to the younger generation. I ask this of you, Senju Koyomi.
Koyomi: Of course, we will continue to meet your expectations. This is Gingaza, after all.
Xue: (Koyomi-san, without telling the other members about her insomnia, played the role of Campanella and lived up to their expectations.)
Xue: (And Wang Xue, who played the lead role of Giovanni-)
Xue: ......The story goes like this.
Xue: I will continue to be an actor, a student, and a part-time worker.
Xue: So please have high expectations.
Xue: Wang Xue will rise above the crowd!
MC: It was a wonderful story that gave me courage…...! Today we had Gingaza and Wang Xue-san come to visit us!
MC: Starring Wang Xue, Gingaza's ‘Night on the Galactic Railway’ is currently being performed to great acclaim! Please look forward to the story of finding true happiness!
Xue: (Wang Xue-survived the second half without the blessings of Sense. Maybe the Zen helped, or maybe it was the muscle training with Hikari.)
Xue: (Or is it because of the people around me? I don't know why.)
Xue: (But one thing is for sure.)
Xue: (-I was just one of the crowd, but now I've made a name for myself in the world.)
Xue: ......I didn't know this place had such a nice view. At that time, I didn't feel it at all.
Koyomi: Not because you couldn’t afford it?
Xue: No, I could afford it. I was calm and collected.
Koyomi: I'll leave it at that.
Koyomi: The chairs were the seats and the fence was the window.
Koyomi: Shall we sit down, Xue-san?
Xue: ......Ugh, nnn.
Koyomi: Can I help you?
Xue: Thinking about it again, I must have done something very embarrassing......
Koyomi: Indeed. ......This is a secret between the two of us, right?
Koyomi: Especially from Ramona-san!
Xue: Of course, tell that one. She'll scream at you about why you didn't call her and then we'll start the party right here.
Koyomi: You could say that. That energy is really-
Koyomi: Oh, you have a call. Isn't that your family?
Xue: ......Yes, it seems so, Ni-san and the rest. I guess they saw the show with the delivery tickets I sent them.
Koyomi: What are their thoughts?
Xue: Oh, hey......! You're sending too much......! I can't stop the notifications!
Koyomi: You didn’t have to ask how they feel about it, did you?
Xue: They're just playing around and making fun of me. Just one word is enough for these guys!
Koyomi: What's the text?
Xue: It’s obvious. ‘Please continue to look forward to it’.
Koyomi: Heh heh.
Koyomi: What is true happiness?
Koyomi: Ever since the show was decided, I have been thinking about it.
Koyomi: At first it was for the role, but gradually it became a question for myself.
Xue: That's dangerous, Koyomi-san. To think that something like that is true happiness.
Koyomi: But as a result, the performance was a success. Gingaza lived up to expectations and was able to enhance its reputation.
Koyomi: If we hadn't had such high expectations, I am sure it would not have been as successful as it was.
Xue: ......It doesn't make sense, but I will be understanding.
Koyomi: How about you, Xue-san? Did you get anything out of your ride on the Galactic Railroad?
Xue: There are some practical things. Wang Xue's name recognition, Gingaza's reputation, starring roles, and paychecks......
Xue: I have gained the strength to compensate for my lack of Sense in the second half of the show. There was also something to be gained from the experience of chairing the show.
Xue: Above all, I was able to give good news to my family.
Xue: But I don't think this is true happiness. There are many small good things. That's how I feel.
Koyomi: So you don't know the answer then?
Xue: I don't know. I don't want to worry about what I don't know. I don't want to have insomnia like someone else.
Koyomi: I wonder who you are talking about.
Xue: Hmph, well, it’s fine. What is true happiness? If you can find it, it's worth a fortune.
Xue: If you continue on a journey longer than the Galaxy Express, you'll find out someday.
Xue: Don't you think so, Campanella?
Koyomi: That’s right, Giovanni.
