The Fudeshima Family's Situation

Shigure: Mama! Welcome home! Huh? Is Papa here too?

Shigure's Father: I'm home. Mama and me just met up in front of the house.

Shigure's Mother: Papa was with Mama, and he wanted to come home early too.

Shigure's Father: No matter how good Shigure is, she's still in elementary school. We shouldn't leave her alone late every day.

Shigure: Heh heh...... Thanks.

Shigure's Mother: It's fine. By the way, did your friends who said they were coming over to play go home?

Shigure: Yes. They went home before dinner. They helped me practice my acting a lot.

Shigure's Father: Have you been chosen for an important role or something?

Shigure: Yes! In the next new play, I’m going to play the protagonist's partner!

Shigure: I’ve been chosen for a leading role in a big play! I’ve taken a big step towards becoming a Dai Star!

Shigure's Mother: Oh, so the details for the next performance have already been announced. Come to think of it, I received a notification......

Shigure: ......It can't be helped. Mama and Papa are both busy with work.

Shigure's Father: Anyway, if you can get closer to your goal all at once, there's nothing better than that.

Shigure's Mother: If you play that role, will you be able to become a Dai Star right away?

Shigure: I don't know yet. But if I'm recognised in the next play, I might become one.

Shigure's Mother: I thought the theatre world was just too risky......

Sounds like you're not wasting your time.

Shigure: That's why I told you not to worry, right? With Shigure, this is only natural♪

Shigure's Father: It's when you let your guard down that you're most likely to fall. Be careful.

Shigure: Hmph. Shigure won't make that kind of mistake.

Shigure's father: ......But you remember your promise, right? If you don't become a Dai Star by the time you’re in middle school-

Shigure: ......I know. When that happens, I'll quit acting and theatre altogether.

Shigure's Mother: That's the right choice. Continuing something that's not going to work won't help you.

Shigure: But......if I become a Dai Star, I should be doing theatre, right?

Shigure's Father: That's a bit of a leap. If that happens, continuing theatre could be an option.

Shigure's Father: If you become a Dai Star, as long as you don't make too many mistakes, I think you're basically free of income concerns.

Shigure's Father: But from looking at the data, even if you become a Dai Star, it's true that it's harder to move on to the next career path than with a regular job.

Shigure's Father: This is probably true for all professional jobs, but it's a tough situation.

Shigure's Mother: Even if you're a Dai Star, your popularity could fall, or you could run into trouble and not be able to perform on stage. I'm still worried.

Shigure's Father: It's important to prepare for that time. I guess I should study asset management someday.

Shigure's Mother: Mama and Papa don't want you to shoulder any unnecessary burdens. We want you to live happily for the rest of your life.

Shigure: Yes......I know Mama and Papa are thinking about me.

Shigure: But if Shigure becomes a Dai Star and continues to be successful, there won't be any problems. I'll definitely make that happen. Shigure told you, didn't she? Theatre is an easy world for her.

Shigure's Father: It's good to have confidence. But life is finite. You have to understand that.

Shigure: Yes......!

Shigure: By the way, the dates for the play are coming up-

Shigure's Father: Now, should Papa take a bath?

Shigure's Mother: I have to prepare dinner too. Today I only have some pre-made side dishes, is that okay?

Shigure's Father: Oh, it's okay. We didn't have much time.

Shigure: Ah......

Shigure's Mother: Hmm? Shigure, did you say something?

Shigure: No, nothing!

Shigure's Mother: I see, that's fine then.

Shigure: Mama and Papa...... Didn't say they were going to see the next play either.
