Chapter 3: What should I Do
Hatsumi: ...
Hatsumi: Whew...
Nikako's Voice: Ren-san!
Hatsumi: Nikako.
Nikako: pant... Oh good, you're still here.
Hatsumi: ...What's wrong, you're all out of breath. Did you forget something?
Nikako: No. It's just...
Hatsumi: ...?
Nikako: ...
Nikako: I just had something that I definitely needed to ask you.
Hatsumi: What is it?
Nikako: During the performance of "Salome", after you sealed away Irurun's Sense, both of you were fighting with each other, right?
Hatsumi: ...What about it? We all have times where our idea clash don't we?
Nikako: I think so too. I think that's what happened,
Nikako: It just surprised me...
Hatsumi: What do you want from me? In any case, this is between me and IRuru. IT doesn't concern you.
Nikako: At that time, you said that if the performance failed, you would do something.
Nikako: If something went wrong, you would do something about it. IF that was the case then Irurun would know the same.
Nikako: So why didn't you give Irurun another chance?
Hatsumi: ...
Hatsumi: Because there was no other chance. This was all on her.
Nikako: But you still wanted to believe in her, didn't you?
NIkako: The truth is that you...!
Hatsumi: That's enough out of you. I told you this has nothing to do with you.
Hatsumi: I still have work to do. I don't have any time for all your questions.
Nikako: wait, Ren-san...!
Daikoku: ...
Nikako: Haah...
Nikako: HOld on, Daa-chan?
Daikoku: I'm sorry... I was secretly listening to you two...
Daikoku: I just watned to do some self practice.
Daikoku: And then as I was about to leave, I heard you two and couldn't leave...
Nikako: Ahh...
Nikako: I'm sorry about just now...
Daikoku: DOn't be, it's alright. I get it. Iruru is much more suited to this tole than me.
Nikako: That's not what I meant...! I didn't mean for it to sound like that...
Nikako: You haven't done anything wrong, Daa-chan. You're doing your best.
Daikoku: Don't apologise. You're the one thats doing her best.
Daikoku: ...But.
Daikoku: OCcasionally, I do get envious of Iruru-san. To be seem like that by my Master...
Daikoku: Am I not good enough?
Nikako: Daa-chan...
Daikoku: I know that my master's hurting. She's been all over the place lately. Just look at what happened today...
Daikoku: That's unfair, Iruru-san. AFter all the support you've given me... And not wanting to quit...
Nikako: Not wanting to quit...?
Daikoku: ...
Nikako: I'm sorry, Daa-chan...
Nikako: ...There, there.
Nikako: ...
Nikako: I guess its fair to not light this Eden.
Nikako: What should we do...
Daikoku: Nikacchi?
Nikako: I'm gonna go.
Nikako: I'm scared... But I don't want to keep things like this.
Daikoku: Eh...?
Daikoku: Hold on...!
Nikako: Ren-san!
Hatsumi: Why are you still here? Knock it off.
Hatsumi: I really busy, don't bother me with such trivial things.
Nikako: ...
Nikako: I have something very important to talk about.
Nikako: It's been on my mind all this time. But it looks like you haven't been enjoying yourself lately.
Hatsumi: Huh...?
Nikako: Surely, you want Irurun to try again once more, surely you want her to come back, don't you?
Hatsumi: I've already completed the new "Salome". I don't need Iruru anymore.
Nikako: ...But. I can see that you're not really serious about this.
Hatsumi: What did you just say...?
Nikako: You've already wanted to see Iruru act, didn't you?
Nikako: And the current lead, Daa-chan already knows that, the poor thing...!
Hatsumi: ...
Hatsumi: What would you know. DO you plan to disobey me?
Nikako: I'm not disobeying you.
Hatsumi: Not disobeying...? I'm instructing Eden right now. I'm the creator of this troupe you know?
Nikako: DId you ideal troupe look like one where everyone is depressed, like Eden is right now?
Hatsumi: ...
Nikako: I hate the way Eden is right now.
Hatsumi: If you hate it, then leave.
Nikako: Eh...?
Nikako: Are you being serious?
Hatsumi: Who knows.
Nikako: ...
Nikako: Ok.
Nikako: I really looked up to you.
Nikako: But the way you're acting now is too cruel...
Hatsumi: ...
