Mito
(In the end, I barely talked to Iroha-chan today either......everyone says "it's fine," but......)

Mito
(......There's so much I want to talk about, but I can't look at Iroha-chan......straight in the eye......)

Mito
(Because Mito......became Dorothy. The Dorothy that Iroha-chan wanted to be......)

Iroha
Ehehe......when I think about 'The Wizard of Oz,' I just can't sit still!

Mito
(Mito stole Iroha-chan's role.....what should I do......why did it have to be Mito of all people......)

Mito
(It's true that Mito also wanted to play Dorothy......but Iroha-chan's feelings were much......much stronger.)

Mito
(So much more than someone like Mito could ever compare to......so much, so much......then why......why was Mito chosen......)

Mito
(......Before too, when we performed 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'......everyone praised Mito......)

Mito
(Chiho-chan praised Mito's acting too......but......this is weird. It's wrong.)

Mito
(Because Mito doesn't have the same passion as Iroha-chan......I just enjoy performing with everyone, that's all......)

Mito
(I still don't really know what I want to become as an actor......I can't think things like "this role should be mine"......)

Mito
(More than anything......I'm scared of disrupting everyone's harmony. Like Dad and Mum, they might leave Mito......)

Mito
(If things stay like this, Iroha-chan will......?)

Mito
......No......absolutely anything but that......because Iroha-chan is Mito's best friend......

Mito
(She's a very precious person, so......that's why Mito wants to be properly recognised together with everyone......together with Iroha-chan.)

Mito
(I want the people who come to watch the play to say that not just Mito, but everyone in Denki......and Iroha-chan too are amazing......)

Mito
(......I knew it, things can't stay like this. If they do, I won't be able to stand on stage with a smile together with Iroha-chan and everyone......)

Mito
......At this time, Kaname-san and the others should be at the office, right?

Kaname
Yes!

Mito
Excuse me......

Iroha
(......I got here earlier than usual. It's a bit early, but I'll start practicing ahead of time.)

Kaname
Haah......I never expected her to say something like that......

Machiko
That girl must have had something on her mind too.

Kaname
So then......you're actually going to accept her request? Even though rehearsals have already started......

Iroha
(Those voices......it's Kaname-san and Machiko-san. They seem to be arguing about something......I wonder what happened......?)

Machiko
I'm not saying that, but it's not like there's no room for consideration. To change the lead role of Dorothy from Shiromaru to Senju, as Shiromaru requested.

Iroha
(Huh......!?)

Iroha
.........

Mito
Ah! Good morning, Iroha-chan. You're early as always......let's do our best together toda-

Iroha
......Why?

Mito
Huh?

Iroha
Why did you say something like that......?

Mito
W-What's wrong, Iroha-chan......? Did something happen......?

Iroha
Is it true you tried to give up Dorothy? That you told Kaname-san and the others that the role of Dorothy should go to me......

Mito
......!
