Hey, everyone! It's time to head to the rehearsal room!

Shizuka
What, already?

Kokona
But I haven't talked enough with Theresa-san~!

Yae
That's right. There's still so much I want to ask...

Theresa
My my, what should I do...when you say things like that, I want to keep you here too!

Kathrina
Mama, don't confuse everyone with comments like that. Even after the performance ended, everyone is busy with basic training.

Theresa
Yes, yes...

Kathrina
Besides, are you sure you have time, Mama? Don't you have movie filming?

Theresa
Fufufu...actually, I still have free time today! So I'll relax here a bit longer.

Yae
Eh? Here at Sirius Baths...?

Theresa
Yes. I want to experience the Japanese public bath atmosphere more. When I asked Shamo, she said I could use it as I please.

Yae
Is that so...

Panda
Alright, alright! We're seriously running out of time! Let's go, everyone!

Chisa
If we're any later, the boss's patience will explode. This whole area could face annihilation...!

Kokona
Awawa...that's scary...!

Shizuka
It's regrettable, but this is it for today. Theresa-san, thank you for today.

Kokona
Please let us talk with you again when we have the chance!

Theresa
Yes, of course! Good luck, everyone!

Theresa
Ahh...that was fun. Sirius really does have wonderful actors.

Theresa
I'm truly glad I could leave her in their care...

Yae
Wow...beautiful...

Theresa
Oh, that voice...could it be Yae?

Yae
I-I'm sorry! For doing something like peeking...

Theresa
There's nothing to apologise for. Being watched is part of an actor's job.

Theresa
What about practice? It's still early for a break, isn't it?

Yae
I asked Hiiragi-san and slipped away by myself. There's something I want to ask of you, Theresa-san...

Theresa
Oh, what is it?

Yae
...Would you please watch my acting right here and now?

Theresa
Eh?

Yae
I know it's a selfish request...but I really want to hear your opinion.

Yae
So I can perform even better...!

Theresa
...

Yae
...

Theresa
(An unwavering, straightforward, serious gaze...she's definitely not saying this lightly.)

Theresa
I understand. Will you show me then?

Yae
Thank you so much!

Theresa
I'll leave the content up to you. Feel free to do as you like.

Yae
Yes!

Yae
I'll begin now...!

Yae
-That's all. Thank you for watching.

Yae
...How was my performance...?

Theresa
...Honestly, I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to show me something of this caliber.

Theresa
It was a wonderful performance with a solid core, befitting a Dai Star, where you clearly thought through how you wanted to portray the character.

Yae
I'm happy. To hear such words from you, Theresa-san...

Yae
But I...I can't feel that way myself...

Theresa
Oh, why not?

Yae
I...failed an audition with this performance...

Theresa
What?
