Part 8: Just Like the Galaxy

Ramona: To me, these two days I spent with Koyomi have become an irreplaceable memory! Until this moment, I never knew how sad it could be to say goodbye…

Koyomi: You’re exaggerating. We’ll meet again at practice soon enough.

Ramona: No, it’s true. That’s how much I enjoyed this weekend!

Ramona: Hikawa-san and the other attendants, and Iroha too, thank you all so much. Thanks to you all, the training camp was awesome.

Iroha: I, too, enjoyed having meals with everyone. Please, make sure to visit us again, if you’d like.

Hikawa: Please, take care on your way home.

Hikari: We will! Koyomi-san, I’m really sorry. I swear I didn’t peek into your room…

Koyomi: It’s fine, please, don’t worry about it. For me too, it was a pleasure to spend the time with you all.

Ramona: What?! R-really?! Koyomi!

Koyomi: I won’t say it again. Well, it’s time for you to head off.

Ramona: Yeah… However sad the parting may be, let us see each other tomorrow.

Koyomi: …Yes. See you tomorrow.

Hikari: Koyomi-san! Iroha-san! Hikawa-san too, see you tomorrow!

Xue: You won’t see Hikawa-san tomorrow, you know…

Iroha: See you all at school!

Lilja: Bye, bye.

Koyomi: …

Iroha: Everyone left.

Koyomi: …Yes. Sorry, it must have been noisy with so many people around.

Iroha: Not at all! In truth, I think it was fun.

Iroha: Doesn’t it feel kind of lonely now that everyone’s gone, sis?

Koyomi: What should I say… I’m glad that we didn’t disturb you.

Koyomi: Hikawa, thank you for everything. Me suddenly inviting the guests must have caused you a lot of trouble.

Hikawa: No, it’s me who should apologize for any shortcomings on my part.

Koyomi: Don’t worry about it. I was the one who gave you so much additional workload.

Koyomi: Well then, let’s return home.

Iroha: Yeah! …Oh.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: Good afternoon, Koyomi.

Koyomi: Grandmother! Welcome back.

Iroha: Welcome back, grandmother.

Hikawa: Madam Senju!.. Have you finished your trip to Paris?..

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: This year, there weren't many remarkable candidates, so the judging process didn’t require much time.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: More importantly, Koyomi.

Koyomi: Yes.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: You seem quite happy. Did you meet with your friends?

Koyomi: (Friends…)

Koyomi: No… It was Gingaza members. The rehearsal hall at the theatre is closed, so we used ours to practice.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: I see.

Iroha: …

Koyomi: I apologize for not notifying you in advance. But we’ll make sure to present a great play.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: Of course. I’m looking forward to it.

Koyomi: Yes.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: Koyomi. Raise your head.

Koyomi: Yes.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: You are the heir of the Senju family. One day, you will become the head of the family like me.

Koyomi: I consider that… a great honor.

Koyomi and Iroha’s Grandmother: You are the brightest star among countless stars in the galaxy. Always strive for self-improvement and be the guiding light for others.

Koyomi: Yes. I’ll live up to the name of Senju and become the North Star.


Ramona: …Haah.

Ramona: Thanks to Koyomi and the girls, I couldn’t be more prepared for the next performance. Time to go to sleep, if I want to be well-rested tomorrow.

Ramona: These two days were truly wonderful.

Ramona: Tonight, the stars look so beautiful.

Ramona: (Koyomi really has changed.)

Ramona: (Before she was avoiding looking me in the eyes, but now she smiles at me.)

Ramona: …Koyomi. One day, I’ll definitely pull you down from your lonely ace position.

Ramona: The galaxy is full of stars.

Koyomi: There are countless stars in the galaxy.

Ramona: Just like those stars…

Koyomi: Just like the brightest star…

Ramona: …we meet and light the way for each other in our theatre…

Koyomi: …I’ll become the one to lead the galaxy…
