Period

Daikoku: ......

Shigure: Good morning.

Shigure: ......

Daikoku: ......

Shigure: Gyaah! Daikoku-senpai, if you're here first, return my greeting!?

Daikoku: Ah, I was so engrossed in stretching that I didn't see you......

Shigure: You're not paying enough attention to Shigure! You'd definitely know if Hatsumi-san came.

Shigure: ......

Shigure: Speaking of which...... Daikoku-senpai, you don't seem to be enjoying yourself much these days, do you?

Daikoku: Hah......?

Shigure: Maybe you had some bad experiences recently?

Daikoku: ......You don't care about my mood, do you......? Why don't you do some training before you butt in?

Shigure: I guess so. Then, before training, do you know this account? It's called ‘Crow's Solo’.

Daikoku: ......!

Daikoku: H-How do you know about that......?

Shigure: The basics of social media. You should be careful when uploading photos, right? You can be identified immediately on the way to school♪

Daikoku: ......! Why......from where......

Shigure: Everyone in Eden knew that this person was Daikoku-senpai, but they're really stupid.

Daikoku: Everyone is looking at this account......? Then, my master too......!?

Shigure: It's so embarrassing. Isn’t this just a need for approval? It's totally exposed, isn't it? Iruru-senpai was worried about it too.

Daikoku: Iruru-san too!? W-Why didn't you tell me earlier......!?

Daikoku: ......Could it be you've been laughing at me behind my back......?

Shigure: Well, I had fun, didn't I? Just be grateful that Shigure told you.

Daikoku: ......I know. You......always make fun of me. You probably thought I was writing something weird, didn't you......

Shigure: ......Yes?

Daikoku: That's right...... I'm......always like that......

Shigure: ......

Shigure: That's why it pisses me off when you have a gloomy look on your face. Instead of worrying about this, can you concentrate on the stage?

Shigure: An actor should express themselves through their acting. Can you stop getting side tracked and wasting Shigure's time?

Daikoku: ......Shut up. You don't know how I feel......

Daikoku: I don't want to be lectured by someone like you. I don't want you to get involved.

Shigure: Hold-

Shigure: ......Hmph. I don't want to get involved either.

Shigure: I'm sticking my tongue out at you!

Daikoku: ......

Daikoku: (Saying things like, ‘Don't be so gloomy. Concentrate on the performance.’ I know that......!)

Daikoku: (But I can't help it......! This is who I am......)

Hatsumi: Daikoku?

Daikoku: My master......!

Daikoku: (Ugh, this is so awkward! But right now, it's even more......)

Hatsumi: What's wrong, you look like you're about to cry. What happened?

Daikoku: Um......can we change the location and talk somewhere else?

Hatsumi: Yeah, I knew about your SNS account too. I just happened to find it. We were all watching over you.

Daikoku: I'm sorry for causing you worry......

Hatsumi: Why are you apologising? I'm not angry.

Hatsumi: I was a little jealous that you were getting so enthusiastic about it apart from me.

Daikoku: Eh......really?

Hatsumi: Actors feed off their experiences. I should praise your attitude of taking on something new. I used to think that social media was pointless, but......I could feel the passion for creation in your posts.

Hatsumi: You wanted to express something through words, didn't you?

Daikoku: I wonder if that’s it......? At first, I was jealous of Panda for getting all the attention......

Daikoku: Then, I was able to get the readers to empathise with me. It was fun and I was happy, but......

Daikoku: I gradually found it harder to write as I wanted. In the end, I just wrote whatever came to mind.

Hatsumi: ......Hmm.

Daikoku: Maybe it's because I went viral once, but I've also got a lot of antis. I'm tired.

Hatsumi: If you worry about what other people think of you all the time, you'll end up with boring expressions, right?

Daikoku: Even if it's boring......it's fine. Writing and communicating something isn't really my thing.

Hatsumi: There are expressions that can move the soul, precisely because you stick to your principles without seeking understanding. I thought you understood that when you entered Eden, but......

Hatsumi: Daikoku. Are you afraid of the reaction of those around you?

Daikoku: ......

Daikoku: Yes...... I'm sorry. Even though I learned from my master.

Hatsumi: It doesn't matter. I've also been shown some interesting things. However, if you are afraid of being seen like that, keep your words to yourself.

Daikoku: ......To myself?

Hatsumi: Yes. It would be a shame if the seeds of your creativity were to be nipped in the bud by those boring people.

Hatsumi: Listen, Daikoku. There's no need to leave the standards of right and wrong, or the evaluation of a work's quality, to others.

Hatsumi: I myself have proven that in this paradise. If you stick to what you think is good, the audience will follow.

Daikoku: Stick to what you think is good......

Hatsumi: Until you can do that, keep your passion boiling inside.

Hatsumi: Until one day you can follow the path you think is right for you.

Daikoku: ......I understand.

Hatsumi: But don't neglect to polish your words. ......You are the one I chose and invited to paradise.

Daikoku: Yes. Thank you very much......!

Daikoku: ......

Daikoku: Account deleted......

Daikoku: ......Haaaaa~......

Daikoku: ......As I thought, my master truly is a great being who shows me the way. I have to write about this wonderful experience in my diary.

Daikoku: ......Yeah. This pen suits me better after all.
