Iroha
(I'm late again today...but there's only a little time left until the World Theatre League stage...this is the final stretch.)

Iroha
I'm home.

Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
...Oh my.

Iroha
! Grandmother...!

Iroha
(When I was encouraged to transfer to Gingaza before...I declared so boldly that "I'll prove Gekidan Denki isn't just some small time troupe", and I haven't really faced Grandmother since then...)

Iroha
(...Honestly, it's a bit awkward...)

Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
You're quite late. Were you at rehearsal?

Iroha
Y-Yes...! The World Theatre League performance is just around the corner, so...

Koyomi and Iroha's Grandmother
...I see.

Iroha
(Ah...she's leaving...)

Iroha
(...I guess to Grandmother, I'm not someone she can take interest in like she does Nee-san...)

Iroha
...

Iroha
(No, I can't be thinking like this! I need to focus on the next performance right now...!)

Iroha
(I just said it myself a moment ago. There's only a little time left until the World Theatre League...!)

Iroha
All right!

Iroha
(To polish my acting even more, let me go back to my room and study the performance!)

???
"Hmm...? Hermes, what are you planning? Won't you tell me in detail?"

Iroha
(Oh, that's...Nee-san's voice...she's practicing in the rehearsal space.)

Iroha
...

Iroha
(I suppose it's okay if I watch for a bit...? ...Quietly, quietly...so I don't disturb her...)

Koyomi
"Then I shall create a banquet hall."

Koyomi
"Oh sea, open! Grant the gods this place of celebration!"

Iroha
...! That's amazing...

Koyomi
!? Is someone there?

Iroha
Um, well...

Koyomi
Iroha-san...

Iroha
(Oh no...I made a noise by accident and stopped Nee-san's rehearsal...what do I do...?)

Iroha
(Wait, I shouldn't be hesitating...! I need to apologise properly...!)

Iroha
N-Nee-san...um...!

Koyomi
Rather than standing there, why don't you come into the room?

Iroha
Y-Yes...you're right...! That's what I'll do...!

Iroha
(What do I do...Nee-san's still mad at me...!?)
