Koyomi
To think such things happened between you two...Mito-san, I apologise for the trouble caused by the Senju family's circumstances.

Mito
...It's not like that...! At that time...our feelings missed each other...but...

Mito
I faced Iroha-chan sincerely from the heart...and thanks to that, I think we were able to know each other even more than before...

Mito
So...please don't apologise.

Koyomi
I see. ...Heh heh, Iroha-san has been blessed with good friends.

Koyomi
As her sister, I'm very proud. And more than anything...I'm truly grateful to Mito-san and everyone else at Denki.

Mito
Whoa...um, well...I'm happy you say that too...I love everyone at Denki and Iroha-chan very much...

Koyomi
My...Mito-san, you say such truly happy things...!

Koyomi
...Ahem. Excuse me, I got a bit carried away.

Mito
Heh heh heh. ...But Iroha-chan doesn't just treasure Mito and Denki, she also thinks very highly of Koyomi-san...

Mito
...Iroha-chan said it. That she said terrible things and hurt Koyomi-san.

Koyomi
! Iroha-san...

Iroha
...I wish I had a Sense like you do, Onee-chan.

Iroha
Please don't put on that kind face when you don't know anything.

Koyomi
(Could it still be about that time...)

Mito
Because of that, she made Koyomi-san shoulder everything about the family...Iroha-chan seemed to really regret it...

Koyomi
...

Koyomi
(That's not true at all...Iroha-san...what you said that day wasn't wrong.)

Koyomi
(Even though I couldn't see anything...I acted older and felt like I was protecting you.)

Koyomi
(That time...I was made to realise that fact.)

Koyomi
(So I stood on stage...thinking I was preventing you from being hurt and tossed around by the Senju family anymore.)

Koyomi
(But all along...you've been troubled by it. In the end, I became a curse for Iroha-san...)

Mito
-But it's okay now. I'll absolutely never let her regret like that again.

Koyomi
Huh...?

Mito
Mito thinks...Iroha-chan is an amazing actor. Regardless of Sense, she has a wonderful charm that captivates everyone...

Koyomi
Yes, that's right...that's precisely why, when I heard she wouldn't quit theatre and would stand on stage again at Denki, I was happy from the bottom of my heart.

Mito
So someday...I want the Senju family to know Iroha-chan's worth as an actor too.

Mito
Not just the audience who comes to see Denki's stages and Koyomi-san...I want to tell the Senju family too, "Iroha-chan is amazing!"

Mito
Iroha-chan has always wanted to be recognised by the Senju family...we all want to help fulfill that dream.

Mito
So...at the next World Theatre League contest, we'll show it on stage.

Koyomi
...Mito-san.

Koyomi
(She's looking straight at me... was Mito-san always someone who had such strong eyes...?)

Koyomi
(...No, surely she's become stronger through various experiences. Iroha-san...you've truly been blessed with good comrades.)

Koyomi
(I'm truly proud of you...for growing into someone so loved by others.)

Koyomi
(Thinking normally, the chances are low that watching Denki's program would change that Senju family's...grandmother's opinion...)

Koyomi
(But I also...feel the same as Mito-san. I wish for the Senju family to recognise Iroha-san...)

Mito
So someday, from Koyomi-san too...please let her hear your thoughts on the stage directly!

Mito
Iroha-chan will surely be happy...

Koyomi
Yes, certainly...I look forward to that day coming.
