Nikako
I don't think it's that big of a deal...

Nikako
I thought they'd gotten into an argument like usual, but then Shigure-chan just left right away...

Daikoku
That just proves I was right...she must have been dissatisfied with my Lord's decision deep down...

Iruru
Hatsumi's decision...? You mean about the letter from the World Theatre League...?

Daikoku
Yes...that brat is attention seeking and overconfident...she must have wanted to catch the world's attention quickly...

Daikoku
How impudent...!

Daikoku
Even if the World Theatre League came to observe, they'd definitely make my Lord a Dai Star, not that brat!

Iruru
...You talked about that...with Shigure...?

Nikako
Yeah...Shigure-chan didn't seem energetic, so maybe she was bothered by the decision from the other day...

Iruru
I see...

Scout
Our troupe has also produced Dai Stars. Shigure-san definitely has the qualifications to be one of them.

Shigure
Shigure, a Dai Star...

Shigure
I just thought I had to work hard.

Shigure
To become a Dai Star...in Eden...

Iruru
Huh?

Shigure
...Hurry up and get ready. We're wasting practice time.

Iruru
Ahaha, sorry sorry...

Shigure
Shigure doesn't have time...

Shigure
...Shigure...

Shigure
...Shigure absolutely has to become a Dai Star. As soon as possible...

Shigure
The reason...I don't want to talk about it. But anyway...I want to become a Dai Star quickly.

Iruru
(That time...I guess it is related after all...)

Daikoku
Hmph...my Lord's decisions are absolute. It won't change so easily because of that brat's opinion, what a foolish child...

Iruru
Now now...don't be too harsh. Shigure must have her own circumstances.

Nikako
Circumstances...? Do you know something, Iruru?

Iruru
Ah...sorry. I don't know the details either. Plus, I don't think it's something to babble about from someone else's mouth.

Daikoku
That brat has circumstances? It's probably nothing important...like wanting to stand out or make a name for herself...

Iruru
Hey now, Daikoku? It's not good to jump to conclusions.

Daikoku
Ugh...s-sorry...but...!

Iruru
If she disagrees with Hatsumi, it'd be one thing if she were dissatisfied, but people are free to think what they want, and it's not like she's rebelling.

Iruru
Plus, to perfect Eden's...Hatsumi's stage, it'd be problematic if someone's performance dropped, right?

Daikoku
That's...well... true...even that brat, we'd be in trouble without her...

Iruru
Yeah...thanks for understanding, Daikoku.

Nikako
But what should we do...about Shigure-chan...?

Iruru
Hmm...let's just watch how things go for now. This is ultimately Shigure's problem, after all.

Nikako and Daikoku
Yes...

Iruru
(...I don't think we should interfere carelessly with Shigure's situation. But I wonder if there's something I could do for her.)

Shigure
(Daikoku-senpai...acting like she knows everything when she knows nothing about Shigure...Shigure has to become a Dai Star right away...)

Shigure
(Daikoku-senpai can probably continue performing in Eden. As long as she wants to, forever...but Shigure...)

Shigure
Haah...Papa and Mama...they're late again today...
