Chapter 8: Even If It's Unlike Me
Announcer: And Parzipan Ashigaru catches up from behind~! And overtakes Embery Shirei to be ahead of the pack!
Announcer: In an astonishing turn of events, Parzipan Ashigaru rushes out of the pack~!
Shopkeeper: Wow! That's unexpected~.
Iruru: Quite literally a dark horse huh.
Shopkeeper: Hmm......? Oh, hey Iruru!
Iruru: Ossan! Thanks for the dorayaki back then~. I came to give my thanks.
Shopkeeper: Don't worry about it. What do you say? The races have been wild today. Care to watch?
Iruru: Not today. I've got some plans today.
Shopkeeper: I see. Going out with someone?
Iruru: Nah. I've got theatre practice!
Iruru: Today's an important day.
Iruru: So I'm gonna head off now. See ya.
Shopkeeper: Alright. Good luck!
Good morning!
Daikoku: Good morning, Iruru-san.
Tetra: Iruru, you're finally here. Thats everyone gathered then.
Hatsumi: I'm going to announce the roles for the next play. There won't be any auditions, roles have been decided at my discretion.
Hatsumi: Iruru will be lead role play Salome, Nikako will be Jokanaan, Daikoku will be Salome's mother, and I will be playing Salome's step-father.
Shigure: What about Shigure!?
Hatsumi: You'll be playing a guard. Everyone else is part of the main cast as mentioned earlier.
Shigure: Tch. Only a support role this time?
Iruru: I'm really playing Salome......
Hatsumi: Well I did say that I would put you down as the lead role.
Iruru: I did hear you say that. But I was still anxious with what would actually happen~.
Hatsumi: Oi oi. What happened to that spark you showed me back then? I thought I trusted you
Iruru: R-right......! I'll give it my all.
Nikako: Irurun, you're going to play Salome! I look forward to working with you!
Iruru: Yeah, likewise.
Tetra: Shaking hands with your fellow actors...... Ah well, everyone's excited so i guess it's fine.
Hatsumi: It's cute isn't it?
Tetra: Well, lets see what kind of play they can put on. Hopefully a sight to behold.
Hatsumi: You know its futile to try and put that kind of pressure on me right?
Tetra: I'm just speaking my heart. I'm looking forward to the play.
Hatsumi: I'll do my best to reach your expectations.
Daikoku: Fufu. Iruru-san is completely absorbed into the script. She's really into it.
Shigure: Let's see what she can get up to, shall we~?
Iruru: Well duh. I got such a important role, I can't lose to you guys.
Shigure: Wow, a declaration of war, how unlike Iruru.
Iruru: Aha... that's true.
Iruru: (It may not be like me...., but I'm still going to do this.)
Iruru: (I'm going to show everyone in this show that I can shine!)
