Chapter 8: Together with you
Iroha: And thats how I caused Onee-chan to suffer.
Iroha: I blamed it on her. And made her carry the burden.
Ramona: ...
Iroha: I've alwasy regretted what I said to her on that day. Since she had alwasy cheered me on.
Iroha: Ah. I-I'm sorry! For suddenly going on that tangent.
Iroha: So I;m glad shes able to be with you...
Ramona: ...What about now?
Iroha: Eh?
Rmaona: Do you feel any suffering when you act now?
Iroha: ...I do not.
Iroha: It's quite unfair isn't it?
Iroha: When I started middle school, my interests went to toehr things, anime and manga as well as many others.
Iroha: And now I've joined Gekidan Denki and am having fun performing every day.
Iroha: Even though Onee-san is working hard in Gingaza. "I'm" the one that's being unfair.
Ramona: That's not the case. Koyomi definitely isn't thinking about that.
Iroha: ...
Iroha: Um, Ramona-san. I have favour to ask you.
Ramona: Alright. Whatever it is, I'll hear you out.
Iroha: DOn't ever let Onee-san be by herself.
Iroha: "I" can't be by "Onee-chan's" side anymore. So please stay by her side.
Iroha: Onee-chan, who's lonely, kind and companionable...
Iroha: ...I love Onee-chan.
Iroha: So...
Ramona: Alright. Understood.
Ramona: I'll definitely save her. For her sake, and your sake, as well as my own sake.
Ramona: So leave it with me.
Iroha: Thank you very much.
Iroha: The book I borrowed from Ramona-san is full of sticky notes. It's full of notes all over the place.
Iroha: Onee-san's writing is all thin and neat and easy to recognise. And Ramona's is quite passionate, just lik eher.
Iroha: "How to Become the Best Actor"... That title is very much like Onee-san.
Iroha: Oh right. I've been so absorbed in myself.
Iroha: Denki's motto is to "Have fun" Ever since I quit acting and started Denki, I've ben ahving fun.
Iroha: But still I'm not satisfied with things as they are. I want to be better and be more useful.
Iroha: There definitely are stages where I am able to shine more as myself.
Iroha: But, that time is yet to come. But if I can be more liked in Denki, then one day...
