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.
