Chapter 6: Adult and child
Panda: Haa~, even though it was half practice and half playing, everyone really got worked up back there!
Chisa: Worked up so hard, I really want to eat some French bread...
Panda: Good luck trying to find some.
Panda: Well it's nearly time for lunch, so why don't we leave it here for today!
Kokona: Today was really exciting and fun.
Shizuka: Yeah, we also found a lot of things that you could work on.
Kokona: ...
Kokona: Lets work hard tomorrow!
Kathrina: Oh my, so you're not going to continue today? You won't be able to catch up to me if you do.
Kokona: Let's work hard today!
Kokona: But first, I need to make some food.
Panda: In that case, let's all head off! Good work today~.
Yae: Good work everyone.
Yae: ...
Yae: So if I want to make a lead male actor look cool... I don't think I've learnt this technique before.
Yae: If Hiiragi-san with her height were to play Christine and I were to play Phantom...
Yae: If we're able to borrow the practice hall for a bit...
Hana: Oh, Yae. You're still around? Didn't everyone leave already? I'm about to lock up.
Yae: Ah! Yes! Everyone was about to leave after self practice.
Hana: I see. You guys were shuffling roles in "The Phanom of the Opera", weren't you?
Yae: Yes. Everyone all joined in.
Hana: Haha, Hiiragi and the others used to do that too. How nostalgic.
Yae: Eh! Really? Hiiragi-san also played around with shuffling roles like that?
Yae: What role did she play?
Hana: Hiiragi originally played Phantom, but if I recall correctly, she ended up playing Christine.
Yae: Christine...!
Yae: Um, if you don't mind, could you tell me more about that?
Hana: Sure. But it's a long story so lets go somewhere else.
Yae: And so, Hiiragi-san's Christine was like that...
Hana: You really like Hiiragi, don't you?
Hana: Her Christine was really amazing.
Hana: To the point where I wanted to see her play her in an actual performance.
Yae: ...
Hana: Well, that's never happening though!
Yae: If you think that way, then it must've been really amazing.
Hana: Yeah. It really makes you wonder how she's about to create something like that with her Sense.
Yae: Her Sense...?
Hana: Her Sense is about "being able to see the aptitude in other's Senses" right? It's not like that is going to increase your ability to perform on stage y'know?
Hana: So, even if she didn't have a Sense, the results would still be the same. She would still be a tried and true Daistar.
Yae: ...
Hana: I guess you could say that she can utilise the ability of those around her and convey that to the audience.
Hana: But still, wouldn't that be part of Hiiragi's own ability?
Hana: And I'm sure you understand the level of "her ability".
Yae: I do.
Hana: But now, that girl has said that she's not going on stage anymore and is going to work backstage. What a waste for that ability to be hidden backstage-
Hana: Well, I personally think its a waste.
Hana: What about you, Yae?
Yae: I...
Hana: If you have a strong enough ability to be acknowledged as a Daistar, wouldn't you say it makes sense to stay on the stage?
Yae: Is that what you think?
Hana: It is. But you'll never hear her say that.
Yae...
