Chapter 3: The Prince of Daistar
Reporter: And with that, you received your title of Daistar.
Yae: All thanks to everyone at Sirius.
Reporter: Haha, thank you for that wonderful retelling. Continuing on, could you tell us a bit about what made you want to become an actor?
Yae: Yes! Hiiragi-san, who's sitting over there was the one who inspired me to become an actor.
Noa: ...
Reporter: Hiiragi Noa. She's the Daistar who was formerly active in Sirius, weren't she? Is she currently working behind the scenes directing at Sirius?
Yae: That's right.
Yae: She's kind but strict, but she's gives us a lot of guidance.
Noa: Hold on, Yae.
Reporter: If you don't mind, could you perhaps tell us more about this?
Yae: Of course. A while ago, I used to be part of the choir at a nearby church
Yae: Acting?
Noa: That's right. You have a Sense that can really shine.
Noa: Why don't you join us at Sirius?
Yae:...
Noa: Here's a ticket for our upcoming play. It's going to the "The Little Prince".
Noa: If you're at all interested, come by and have a look.
Yae: Ah, Ok...
Yae: Thank you very much.
Yae: I wonder if I will be able to do that too...
Yae: Hiiragi-san was the one who told me that the whole world loves theatre. She said that theatre brings joy to a lot of people.
Reporter: That's sonderful isn't it?
Yae: Yep!
Yae: And so, I wanted to try acting, so I decided to join Sirius.
Reporter: Thank you for that wonderful story.
Reporter: So how was Sirius after you joined? You mentioned that you could sing, did you pick up acting skills from Hiiragi-san?
Yae: That's right. All the basics of acting and theatre were all thanks to Hiiragi-san, and all the senpai from Sirius.
Reporter: Were you nervous being taught acting by someone you looked up to?
Yae: Not at all!
Yae: In fact, I was ecstatic that I would be able to act together...
Yae: Hiiragi-san is an actor that I look up to. So to be able to receive direct guidance from her is a blessing.
Reporter: They do say we often look up to those that are close to us. It really does make you realise how great they are doesn't it?
Reporter: It might be rude to say, but for the endearing Niizuma Yae to look up to the cool and composed Hiiragi Noa is quite surprising.
Yae: Is that so? Hiiragi-san is able to play any role you know?
Reporter: That's true. She did once perform in Sirius hasn't she?
Reporter: Oh right, if you don't mind, could I have the opportunity to interview the Daistar behind raising the new generation of Daistar, Hiiragi-san?
Noa: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to decline that offer.
Yae...
Reporter: I see. Sorry for being too forward. In that case, I look forward to continue this interview in the future, Niizuma-san.
Reporter: Thank you for taking the time out today for this. Once the article makes it to the next stage, I'm contact you with details!
Yae: Thank you very much for having me!
Noa: Thank you very much, I look forward to continuing this in the future.
Yae: Haah, no matter how many interviews I do, I always get nervous.
Noa: Good work. Did you want to grab some icecream?
Yae: Can I? To be able to get icecream with Hiiragi-santogether, it's like a dream come true.
Noa: Oh right, about that...
Yae: That?
Noa: You don't have to go out of your way to mention my name. Despite my background as an actor, I';m just another backstage support now.
Yae: That's not what happened, I just said what I truly felt, thats all.
Noa: ...
Yae: Next time, I want to do this interview with you together.
Noa: Is that so.
Yae: (Not as an actor and their mentor, but together as actors.)
Noa: Alright, enough of that. Lets go get some icecream.
Yae: Ah. OK!
Yae: Can't wait!
