Chapter 2: Feelings And Now

Iruru: Haaah......

Iruru: What are you doing putting on a facade in front of people...... I'm never gonna get a lead role ever.

Iruru: Anyways, great weather today~.

Iruru: Such a shame to be down on a day like this. Let's take this shortcut to get to theater.

Girl: Waaah!

Iruru: Woah......!

Iruru: Hmm......?

Iruru: Hup. And Iruru elegantly catches the short fly.

Iruru:--Wait, this is a flyer for Sirius~.

Girl: Onee-chan, thats mine~!

Mother: Hey! Thanks for picking that up for us! I'm sorry, that thing just flew out of our hands.

Iruru: Don't worry about it~. You look like you like plays, little one.

Girl: Yep! I love them! I'm gonna be an actor when I grow up.

Iruru: Thats amazing. If you'd like Eden is always looking for new members.

Iruru: It's just my opinion but it's quite an eccentric place. There's a lot of interesting plays going on~.

Girl: Eden......? OK, I'll go check them out~!

Iruru: It's alright even if you only remember the name. See ya~.

Mother: Thank you so much. Come now, make sure you hold on to that next time!

Iruru: (How nostalgic~. That sort of thing happened when I was a kid too~.)

Iruru: (Having the flyer to your favourite play, holding onto it for dear life.)

Iruru: (The emotions when you watch a Dai Star act live for the first time, I still remember it now)

Iruru: (And being like "I wanna perform like that.". I remember that......)

Iruru: ......

Iruru: What am I doing getting all emotional now. I gotta hurry!

Iruru: Good morning~.

Daikoku: Good morning...... Iruru-san.

Shigure: Iruru-senpai, you're late~. Hatsumi is literally about to collapse.

Hatsumi: ......I'm out of energy. Hurry, someone give me something to eat......

Iruru: Alright, alright, here's what you asked for. The leftovers are for everyone else, OK?

Nikako: Ren-san! Once you eat this, you'll be able to work on the script!

Hatsumi: ......Nikako is going to feed this to me......?

Hatsumi: Aaaahn~.

Daikoku: Tch...... My master is being hand fed treats. Oh what is this feeling of envy....!?

Tetra: Sorry for making you do this, Iruru.

Tetra: We've decided on "Salome" but, we've been stuck on the visualisation.

Tetra: Hatsumi's been stressing over this, getting everyones opinions on everything. We need to find the perfect fit for the lead role too.

Iruru: "Salome" huh...... you mean the classic one?

Iruru: The enchantress princess Salome, attempts to seduct the Phophet, Jokanaan.

Hatsumi: Yeah. But he doesn't fall for her feelings. And so, it all leads to the famous ending.

Shigure: She dances in front of the king, to his delight, he asks her what reward she would like, and she wishes for the head of Jokanaan, right?

Shigure: And at the end, with the severed head in hand, she kisses her lover on the lips. Shigure is scared~.

Daikoku: Ha. This is why kids suck.

Daikoku: If you're unable to capture the heart of your lover, then......

Daikoku: That sort of feeling, I kinda get it.

Shigure: Aha. Hearing that coming from the person who got rejected from Sirius. That's so true~.

Daikoku: What did you just say?

Nikako: Eep...... Thats my first time hearing about the play, it's quite provoative, isn't it?

Hatsumi: Yeah. It's going to be hard to perform tastefully, but that's what makes it so interesting, and makes it a perfect fit for Eden.

Hatsumi: I don't want to do anything conservative. If we're going to do it, we're going to do it.

Iruru: ......You don't like being conservative, huh~.

Iruru: I guess Eden is full of individualistic people. This sounds like a good idea.
