“I have already heard of your deeds...”
Nikako
“You say you seek a place to belong, but isn't your true intention to seize this Takamagahara?”
Nikako
“If so, how terrifying...”
Iruru
Nice, Nikako. The level of completion is incredibly good for this stage.
Nikako
Thank you, Irurun!
Nikako
Still...it's been a while since we've done a Japanese program! Since Yuki Onna...was it?
Iruru
That's right, though compared to 'Yuki Onna' the feeling of the program is quite different~.
Nikako
That's true! 'Susanoo no Mikoto' is somehow gentle and warm, I think!
Iruru
Warm?
Nikako
Yes! Susanoo, who was driven out, ultimately meets Kushinadahime and is able to find a place to belong...
Nikako
Reading it, I thought...I'm glad he found his own place to belong!
Iruru
A place to belong...
Iruru
(Come to think of it, it's similar to Hatsumi...in the past, Eden tried to exclude Hatsumi, but now Hatsumi trusts us enough to confide secrets.)
Iruru
(Not just Hatsumi. For me too, Eden is an important place...)
Iruru
...Heh heh, you're right. I feel the same way as you, Nikako.
Nikako
Right! Every time I read the script, I can feel Susanoo's emotions! Though there are also parts where I think I'm not quite doing it well enough.
Iruru
Oh? Where? From what I've seen, I think you're doing well at this point, Nikako.
Nikako
Well, it's my performance as Amaterasu...I don't have experience shutting myself away, so I wonder if there's more I could be doing.
Iruru
I see...
Iruru
(It's true that Amaterasu's character is far from Nikako's. There must be aspects that are difficult to do...)
Iruru
Let's see...Amaterasu is afraid of her brother, right? That's why she ultimately shuts herself in the Heavenly Rock Cave.
Iruru
From other gods' perspectives, Susanoo initially just looks like a brute. Amaterasu even thought he came to steal the Takamagahara she manages.
Iruru
I think that's probably what's important in playing Amaterasu.
Nikako
I see...usually she's composed, but she's actually afraid of her brother...
Iruru
Well, we still have time until the performance, so let's steadily deepen everyone's understanding of their roles together.
Iruru
That should surely lead to a high quality stage.
Nikako
Irurun...you're right!!! Let's work hard together!!!
