Koyomi
What's wrong? It's unusual for you to space out like this, Ramona-san.
Ramona
Well, you know. Now that the cultural festival is over, I feel a bit deflated.
Ramona
We're third years, right?
Ramona
Thinking that was our last cultural festival makes me feel a bit sad.
Koyomi
...
Koyomi
Wasn't that sadness included in what you were planning to use as nourishment for your acting career?
Ramona
Haha, that was the plan, but sad things are still sad.
Ramona
Sorry to worry you.
Hikari
Ah, Ramo-san and Koyomi-san!
Hikari
Are you cleaning up after the cultural festival?
Ramona
Yes. We've mostly finished taking everything down, and now we're cleaning.
Hikari
I see.
Hikari
Hey...! Thank you so much for participating in the cultural festival volunteer performance!
Hikari
I was so busy as a committee member that I just realised I never properly thanked you!
Ramona
Oh, is that all?
Ramona
Don't worry about it. I joined because I wanted to do it in the first place.
Koyomi
Thanks to Xue-san, the excitement on the day was wonderful. Though I might not be the one to say this, since I participated...
Hikari
I see, so that's how it was.
Ramona
I wish you could have seen that stage too, Hikari.
Hikari
Yeah, I really wanted to see it.
Hikari
I'm really grateful to Xue of course, but to both of you too.
Hikari
So! Want to have a celebration party?
Ramona
That sounds great! Let's do it! Let's do it tonight!
Koyomi
You're too enthusiastic...
Koyomi
Where did that gloomy mood from earlier go?
Hikari
Then, to celebrate the success of the cultural festival-
Hikari, Ramona, Lilja
Cheers!
Koyomi
...
Lilja
Koyomi, aren't you joining? The toast. Even though you danced.
Koyomi
Those who want to participate should do so. I'll be leaving early today.
Lilja
Hmm, you're busy, I see.
Xue
Hey, you all help with serving the food!
Xue
Making the MVP prepare the meal, the nerve of you.
Hikari
Ah, sorry, sorry!
Ramona
It really was a fun stage. I still remember how Xue worked the audience.
Xue
That was fan service. Well, the song was energetic too.
Xue
The audience reaction was really good, wasn't it?
Koyomi
I was so nervous before it started, wondering how it would turn out.
Koyomi
With Hikari-san's situation, and it being my first time cosplaying and dancing...
Lilja
Yet you were really into it.
Koyomi
That's because it was a performance...!
Koyomi
For an actor, it's natural to give your all when performing.
Hikari
...
Xue
What's wrong with you, making such an obviously sad face?
Hikari
Nothing. I was just feeling disappointed...
Xue
Ah...
Ramona
I understand. It was Hikari who invited us originally, yet you couldn't join us on stage.
Xue
But you couldn't get out of your committee duties, right?
Xue
In the end, the cultural festival was a success, so don't be so down.
Hikari
Yeah, that's true, but. I wish I could have seen everyone's "⊿TRiEDGE."
Xue
Hm?
Hikari
I wanted to see it, I really wanted to see...! Ramo-san as Rio-chan, Xue as Riku-chan, and Koyomi-san as Tsubaki-chan!!!!
Xue
Huh...!? So it wasn't about you wanting to dance, but about that?
Xue
Besides, Riku was supposed to be your role, wasn't it?
Hikari
Because it's so rare for everyone from Gingaza to cosplay! It's something that only happens at a cultural festival!
Hikari
I wanted to see the three of you perform "Ryouran Otome †Musou Geki"...!
Xue
In the first place, your choices were either to dance or be on the committee, not to be in the audience.
Hikari
That's true.
Hikari
I can always get revenge for the feeling of wanting to dance myself.
Hikari
But seeing Xue in cosplay and everyone dancing on the cultural festival stage,
Hikari
I'll probably never see that again...right?
Ramona
Hikari...
Lilja
Hikari's eyes are getting teary.
Xue
Stop doing that kind of thing...
