Hikari: "I have never met retainers as excellent as you...you have fought for me for such a long time..."

Hikari: "With your strength, Charles has expanded his kingdom! ...And this is the emperor's answer to that!"

Abigail: Hikari-senpai...as expected from the lead of "Ushiwakamaru"...so brave and powerful...

Claire: Seriously...! U-Um, Hikari-senpai...! How can I learn to act like that? Are there any tricks or...

Hikari: Hmm, let's see...in my case, I read the script while picturing that scene...

Hikari: When I think about how I would feel and what I would do if I were that person...my body moves naturally!

Hikari: What was that called again? Stani...something-ski system, was it?

Ramona: 'Stanislavski System'.

Ramona: It's an acting theory that says actors create a virtual space in their minds based on the script, allowing them to naturally express the emotions they want to convey-

Ramona: They become able to control even physical changes and the autonomic nervous system...that this is what creates natural and realistic acting.

Hikari: That's right, that's it! When an image comes to mind like that, it's like...

Hikari: "My men, my brothers...I will never abandon you again! If I don't die in battle, I will die of sorrow!"

Hikari: "My comrades...let us fight once more!"

Hikari: ...It's like that, I can naturally enter the role...there's this feeling of becoming that person completely.

Claire: Wow, so that's how it is...but really, being able to switch so quickly like this is amazing...!

Ramona: But I never expected Hikari to proactively act based on acting theory...I suppose this means you've grown through playing Ushiwakamaru.

Abigail: You can say that again! I mean, Hikari-senpai's atmosphere when acting is completely different from before!

Claire: Yeah...such concentration. And yet you're not out of breath at all...you always had good stamina, but it feels like it's improved even more...

Ramona: ...That's right.

Hikari: Mm...ahh~. Warm tea is so relaxing...

Ramona: Hikari, so you were here.

Hikari: Ah, Ramo-san! Want to have tea together? If you'd like, please take this seat!

Ramona: Thank you...then I'll take you up on that offer.

Hikari: Today's workshop was fun too~! How was my teaching? Was that kind of approach okay?

Ramona: Yeah, of course it was. Claire and Abby both said it was very educational. I found it very helpful too.

Ramona: I know I'm saying this again, but...thank you for taking on the instructor role, Hikari.

Hikari: Not at all! I'm glad I could be helpful! I had fun too!

Hikari: ...Really, I'm sooo glad that Ramo-san stayed at Gingaza!

Ramona: What's this, being so formal all of a sudden...it's a bit embarrassing.

Hikari: Heh heh, participating in the workshop made me think that even more. Before Ramo-san came to Gingaza, something like this would have been unthinkable.

Ramona: Well, there was quite a bit of upheaval.

Ramona: Even so, the reason I can be here like this now...is because of your words, Hikari.

Ramona: Thanks to you reaching out to me, I didn't lose sight of my core principles. I thank you from the bottom of my heart...I can't thank you enough.

Hikari: Oh no...I didn't do anything that great! But if I could help you, that's good. I'm happy too!

Hikari: Now I can continue standing on the same stage as you at Gingaza, Ramo-san!

Ramona: Ah...about that, actually, when I was reprimanded by Gingaza's upper management, one of the executives recognised my abilities and...protected me.

Ramona: Thanks to that, I'm able to be here. And also...

Hikari: And also? Is there something else?

Ramona: It's not definitively decided yet, but-

Ramona: The executive I just mentioned has asked me to become the leader of a new troupe that will be established under Gingaza, called 'Nebula'.

Hikari: Eh, really!? That's amazing, Ramo-san! Way to go!

Ramona: I haven't decided what to do yet...but I do think it's a generous offer.

Hikari: Of course it is! It must be thanks to all your hard work up until now, Ramo-san! Your efforts changed Gingaza!

Ramona: Thank you, Hikari. Really...being with you gives me energy.

Hikari: Eh? R-Really? Ehehe...

Ramona: (You're the one who's indispensable to this Gingaza...Hikari.)
