Chapter 2: The thing I'm seeking is

Shigure: I'm home......

Shigure: ......

Shigure: Mama still isn't home yet. But I can tell since she hasn't replied to me.

Shigure: I need to do my homework and prepare for tomorrow classes.

Shigure: I'm sick of eating this bento. It's been a while, maybe I should go to the supermarket tomorrow.

Shigure: !

Shigure: Hello, Mama? Good work today. Are you coming home now?

Shigure: Eh...... You're not going back tonight? I see......

Shigure: That's alright. Shigure will be fine. I understand that you're super busy.

Shigure: Ah...... Shigure had rehearsal practice today.

Shigure: She's been studying as well. I'm not playing around. You don't have to worry.

Shigure: ......OK. Well then, bye.

Shigure: Papa is on a business trip, so today is just me, I guess......

Nikako: There's a family restaurant right in front of the station, isn't there? The one with the white billboard. They've got omurice and a limited edition parfait going on right now.♪

Shigure: It's not like Shigure's interested in that.

Shigure: ?

Iruru: "Islander being excited in a family restaurant in the city."

Shigure: It's a photo of Nikako from the Eden group chat. What is this, she's got cream all over her face, even though she's supposed to be a high schooler......

Nikako: "The parfait was delicious! Shigure, let's go together sometime!"

Shigure: ......!

Shigure: Shigure isn't interested.......

Hatsumi: "Where's my invite?"

Daikoku: "If my master is going, then I'm going as well!"

Shigure: Hmph. These people are useless.

Shigure: (I can keep you company if you really want...... and send.)

Shigure: ......Good night.

Shigure: (It's 11pm...... Mama and Papa aren't coming home. Since joining the troupe, I've been spending less time alone at least.)

Shigure: (When I started acting, I did it become I thought I could make it.)

Shigure: (The first play that I actually watched was on a school trip where we went to see Gingaza perform.)

Shigure: (When Mama had a day off, I told her my thoughts about it.)

Shigure's Mother: Hmm? Gingaza...... The famous traditional troupe from Ueno, huh.

Shigure: It's true that the play was good. But Shigure doesn't think that way. Maybe because it was aimed at elementary students.

Shigure's Mother: Is that so. Mama doesn't know since she doesn't watch them.

Shigure: Ah......right Mama and Papa don't really like plays. Everytime a play is on TV, you always change the channel.

Shigure's Mother: It's not like I don't like them...... I'm just not interested. There's not really any value in it.

Shigure's Mother: It's true that it's popular right now and people are saying it's the era of theatre plays. Everyone loves plays and being an actors comes with a level of prestige.

Shigure's Mother: But if we're talking about the top, and becoming a Dai Star, aren't there very few people who make it?

Shigure's Mother: There are many jobs out there are easier and can make more income than that. It's better for you to focus on studying and not waste time on something like that.

Shigure: ......But, that's not really a big deal. You know that becoming a Dai Star is really hard, right?

Shigure: I am taking the easier route, but being rewarded for something like that is kinda annoying.

Shigure: "Grandpa, I will never lie again. I have a change of heart, and want to become a real boy."

Shigure: ......See! Shigure can do it much better. She might even become a Dai Star......!

Shigure's Mother: Hmmm......

Shigure's Mother: Are you going to start saying that? I don't mind putting you through acting lessons.

Shigure: Really?

Shigure's Mother: Yeah, since Mama and Papa are busy, we can't be always be there after school.

Shigure's Mother: But, only under you start middle school. If you're unable to become a Dai Star by then, I'm having you stop acting.

Shigure: Is that all? Thats easy peasy.

Shigure: Thank you, Mama, I love you!

Shigure: I don't like being alone......

Shigure: I wanna hurry and go to school and practice
