Iroha and Mito
...

Kamira and Tsubomi
(You can do it...)

Towa
(Now then, I wonder what'll happen...)

Denki Troupe Members
(So nervous.) (You can do it, both of you!) (This is bad, I'm so nervous I might throw up...)

Mito
(I have to apologise...I need to tell her that Mito just wants to be with Iroha-chan, that Mito wants to make up...!)

Mito
Um...you see...!

Iroha
I'm sorry, Mito-chan!!!

Mito
Huh...?

Iroha
I...took a terrible attitude toward Mito-chan before! I should have talked about various things more on my own, but I stayed silent...

Iroha
Even though things were getting more and more awkward between us...because of me, Mito-chan suffered...I'm truly sorry!!!

Mito
...Iroha-chan...!

Iroha
...Please let me talk for a bit. As you all know, I'm the daughter of the Senju family, a prestigious acting family.

Iroha
But I don't have a 'Sense'.

Iroha
Even though I tried my best to perform roles...because I don't have a Sense, the Senju family didn't have much expectation for me.

Iroha
Yet when I was in Gingaza's children's division, just being the Senju family's daughter meant I got special consideration...sometimes I was chosen for lead roles, but those around me didn't seem convinced.

Iroha
What I performed at that time was...Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'. But three years later...when the same program was decided, I couldn't become Dorothy.

Iroha
I realised that without special consideration, I couldn't become Dorothy...if only I had a Sense...I started harboring such feelings.

Iroha
Somewhere in my heart, I was always envious of people who have Senses...so I even became envious of Mito-chan...

Iroha
...Just like in the past when I said terrible things and hurt my sister, if things continued like that, I might have hurt Mito-chan too...

Iroha
I absolutely didn't want that...so I thought I'd distance myself.

Iroha
I'm sorry for making you anxious...Mito-chan. Because I jumped to conclusions and acted on my own, I cornered Mito-chan.

Kamira
(Irocchi...)

Towa
(No matter how many times I hear it, Iroha's family situation is irritating...and somehow, it's tough on me too.)

Tsubomi
(It must have been so painful, Senju...)

Iroha
...Somewhere in my heart, I find myself wanting to be recognised by the Senju family...

Iroha
Because of that, I spun my wheels alone, couldn't see what was around me, and ruined everyone's atmosphere...everyone, I'm truly sorry!

Iroha
I'm such an immature person, but...Mito-chan, will you be friends with me once more...?

Mito
...Ugh...of course...! I'm the one who should apologise...Iroha-chan...!

Mito
Mito...was always by Iroha-chan's side...but I didn't know at all that you were going through such painful feelings...!

Iroha
N-No, it's fine...! It's my fault for not talking about it...

Mito
No...Mito also has something I haven't told Iroha-chan and everyone. You might think it's really selfish, but...Mito doesn't like being evaluated alone...

Mito
When I was chosen as the official cosplayer for 'Game Fes', and when the role of Dorothy was decided through audition...I didn't want to be the only one...

Mito
Plus, it felt like Iroha-chan might leave because Mito was chosen...that was really scary too...even though I was given a role, I tried to give it up.

Mito
But you see, it's just that I wanted to be with Iroha-chan...so, Iroha-chan...um, always, always, stay with Mito...!

Iroha
...Mito-chan...!!! We'll always...always be together!!! I promise...!

Mito
...Yeah...let's always be together...it's a promise...!

Denki Troupe Members
"I'm so glaaaad!!!!!" "I-I'm crying too..."

Kamira
I guess everyone really does have things they're carrying in their hearts...even I, until a little while ago...there was a time when I wondered if it was okay to keep being an actor...I don't have otaku knowledge like everyone else.

Kamira
Like, is it really okay for me to stay here...you know.

Denki Troupe Member A
I totally get what Kamira-san's saying. I had a period where I was worried because I couldn't get any major roles either...

Denki Troupe Members
"So relatable~." "Being an actor makes you worry about stability too." "Balancing it with fan activities is tough!" "When events and performances overlap!"

Towa
Huh, why did this turn into a confession session...

Tsubomi
It means that those in this troupe won't change how they see their comrades over something like this.

Denki Troupe Members
"There's even someone who writes really extreme doujinshi." "N-No way you're going to say it...stop! Stop it!!!"

Towa
Well, anyway, it seems like things are settled, right? Now the next rehearsal will be perfect, won't it, Iroha? ...You're going to make the Senju family recognise you, right?

Iroha
Huh...! B-But that's just something I selfishly thought on my own...

Denki Troupe Members
"Even so, doesn't that sound interesting?" "That's right!" "I can support an underdog protagonist!" "Iroha-san has worked so hard until now."

Kamira
Irocchi~, no one seems to be against it, you know? By the way, I'm totally in favour! Let's work hard together!

Tsubomi
Naturally, so am I. If our precious Denki comrade is going to grasp happiness, I'll cooperate with all my might.

Mito
Mito too...! I want to fulfill Iroha-chan's wish...! We need to make them recognise that Iroha-chan is amazing...right...!

Iroha
Everyone...! Thank you so much...!
