"Christine...how beautiful your singing is. I can understand why you say you learned it from an angel."

Kathrina
"...But who exactly is this Angel of Music?"

Kathrina
...Phew.

Kathrina
(Before I knew it, it's already noon. Since no one's at the dorm today anyway, maybe I'll go eat outside for once.)

Kathrina
(Though I haven't decided on a particular restaurant...where should I go...oh?)

Ramona
Hm? Oh, isn't that Kathrina?

Kathrina
Mona-san, what a coincidence. Are you going somewhere?

Ramona
Ah no, I don't have any particular business...I got a bit hungry, so I was thinking of having lunch nearby.

Kathrina
Oh, what a coincidence. I'm the same. I was just looking for a restaurant to have lunch.

Ramona
I see. Then how about having lunch together? Of course, only if that's alright with you, Kathrina.

Kathrina
Yes, that's fine. Let's go.

Staff
Sorry for the wait. First, two hot straight teas.

Ramona
Ah, thank you. ...Phew. Drinking something warm really calms the heart.

Kathrina
Heh heh...that's right.

Ramona
Speaking of which, I also saw Sirius's 'Cinderella' performance the other day. That was truly wonderful.

Ramona
To think I'd be able to see Kathrina's Cinderella in that way...I really...never imagined it.

Kathrina
...Thank you. But that was because everyone at Sirius was there...that's why it succeeded.

Kathrina
It wasn't my strength...if everyone hadn't supported me, it...surely wouldn't have gone well.

Kathrina
Even when I was in Germany...I caused everyone trouble. I'm really sorry about that time...

Ramona
Don't worry about it, Kathrina. Everyone has times when things don't go well.

Ramona
Besides, if that experience led to seeing your current acting, I'm proud to have spent time together on the German stage.

Kathrina
Mona-san...

Kathrina
Heh heh...ah, speaking of which...Gingaza is doing a 'Phantom of the Opera' performance soon, right?

Ramona
Oh, news travels fast. I'm playing the Phantom.

Kathrina
As it's been announced to those involved, Sirius is also planning a 'Phantom of the Opera' performance.

Kathrina
My role is Raoul.

Kathrina
Of course, since we're doing the same program, I absolutely won't let it be a stage that pales in comparison. If you have time, I'd love for you to come see it.

Ramona
Yeah, of course! I'll come watch. I'm looking forward to seeing the Raoul you perform with my own eyes!

Kathrina
Yes...please look forward to it.

Kathrina
"Christine, I love you. Your hair, your eyes, your lips that sing beautiful songs. Please stay by my side always...forever."

Kathrina
"I won't let that man take you away. ...I've thought of a good idea. It's alright, leave it to me. I'll absolutely protect you from that man."

Ramona
(Kathrina...she's really become such a good actor...)

Ramona
Heh...I can't lose either.
