Hikari
(Benkei was drawn to Ushiwakamaru and accompanied him on the journey to the very end. That's surely...because Ushiwaka was someone who stayed true to himself.)
Hikari
(As that Ushiwakamaru, I need to stand before Koyomi-san.)
Hikari
(Then what I need right now is...)
Xue
It's just...gone back to what Gingaza was like before Germany came, that's all.
Hikari
Xue is amazing. You never change.
Xue
Of course.
Hikari
"Have your axis in your heart." Right, Xue?
Hikari
(To fully perform Ushiwakamaru, I need to stay unwavering...stay true to yourself, Yonaguni Hikari.)
Hikari
(And I'll definitely make this upcoming performance a success...! I'll make it the best stage together with everyone!)
Hikari
Alright. Now that I've finished praying, next I'll greet Yoshitsune's memorial monument...
Hikari
Oh, I want to take a commemorative photo too. I think there's a statue of Benkei and Yoshitsune standing together over there-
Hibari
Oh my. Yonaguni-san?
Hikari
Huh? Onee-san...!
Hibari
What a coincidence. ...Or perhaps not.
Hibari
Knowing you-so straightforward and earnest-you came to visit places connected to Yoshitsune for your play, I assume?
Hikari
Amazing! That's exactly right! But Onee-san, why are you...!
Hibari
I'm here for similar reasons. I heard about it. Gingaza's next performance is a work dealing with Yoshitsune, isn't it?
Hikari
You already looked up information about our next performance...! Thank you!
Hikari
I'm really happy that you're interested in Gingaza!
Hibari
Y-Yes. Well, of course.
Hibari
(As someone from the World Theatre League.)
Hikari
...But I'm glad we met again. I wanted to thank you, Onee-san. Thank you for last time.
Hibari
Why so formal all of a sudden?
Hikari
"You can't create a stage alone." Thanks to your words, Onee-san, I realised something.
Hikari
I was worrying and lost for so long, but...what I should do on the next stage. I found my answer!
Hibari
"Answer," huh...would you let me hear it?
Hikari
That is...
Hibari
If possible, as an actor, I'd like you to convey it through performance.
Hikari
What!? Right here, right now!?
Hibari
Look, there's that episode where Benkei improvised a performance for Yoshitsune's sake, right?
Hikari
Ah. I think it was 'The Subscription List'...
Hikari
(...Alright!)
Hikari
"-Beyond the scroll, there stood a single actor."
Hikari
"This person had neither name nor talent. Just a clumsy girl who could only run around with her body alone."
Hikari
"I did not understand...! Why I was chosen. Not even what I should do...!"
Hikari
"Yet there were those who watched over me. One, two-people who cared-"
Hikari
"The lead who shares the stage took my hand. Everyone had a core in their hearts."
Hikari
"I will not run anymore! Because I want to create the stage together! I do not fear standing beyond the scroll!"
Hikari
"This is not a solicitation performance! It is simply a stage showing my heart as it is!"
Hikari
...I want to live up to everyone's trust. That's what I've decided now-what I want to stay true to!
Hibari
Hmm...and specifically, what kind of performance will you show me?
Hikari
You'll have to enjoy finding that out when you watch the performance!
Hibari
Heh heh. I look forward to the day I can watch.
Hikari
I got to thank you and everything feels clear now. I'm going back to resume rehearsal!
Hibari
(Yonaguni-san...her expression is different from when we met before. It seems she's overcome one wall.)
