Iroha
Um......Towa-chan? What exactly did you need......?
Towa
I'll cut to the chase. Iroha, what happened between you and Mito?
Iroha
Huh......no, nothing really......nothing at all? Why do you ask?
Towa
Liar. I saw you yelling at Mito like that......there's no way I'm gonna be fooled, right? So really? What happened?
Iroha
Ugh.........a-actually...... Mito-chan tried to give up Dorothy......for my sake.
Towa
For your sake? What's that, what do you mean?
Iroha
It seems Mito-chan negotiated directly with Kaname-san and the others, saying she'd step down and give me the role of Dorothy instead......
Iroha
Because before the audition, I said I wanted to play the role of Dorothy......
Iroha
It's true that Dorothy was a role I wanted to play. But......it's such a waste to give up the role so easily like that!
Iroha
On top of that, to put me in her place......when I found out about that, I somehow couldn't hold back......
Towa
......And the result of you yelling at Mito with all that momentum is the current state of Denki, huh.
Towa
Geez, because you two are putting out this awkward vibe, it's seriously hard to be around, you know?
Iroha
I'm sorry......I'm causing trouble for Towa-chan and everyone......
Towa
......Your pride was hurt at being given the role, is that it? Honestly......you weren't that type, were you?
Iroha
It's not about pride......or anything like that. It's just that I......have wanted to play Dorothy for a long time, ever since way back.
Iroha
But I wasn't chosen this time either......so I thought I'd work hard on my own role, I thought I would, I should have......
Towa
Haah......while we're at it, just tell me everything without hiding anything.
Iroha
Huh......?
Towa
You've shouldered things alone weirdly before too, haven't you? This time is the same.
Towa
If you're gonna worry alone like that anyway, just talk to me about it.
Iroha
......But......
Towa
This isn't really my style, but we're Denki comrades......right? We've known each other for a pretty long time now......so it's fine to tell me, isn't it.
Iroha
Towa-chan......I understand.
Iroha
......So I was treated like a problem both within the Senju family and within the troupe......and somehow that made me feel really uncomfortable......
Towa
Hmmm......so basically, you weren't expected to do anything at home because you don't have a Sense, is that it.
Iroha
Well......to put it simply, that might be right......I'm sorry for making you listen to a story like this.
Iroha
Everyone in Denki is kind, so I thought they might worry......I've never told anyone before......
Towa
Not really? There's nothing to apologise for. It's just that you were in a seriously bad environment, no joke, right?
Iroha
N-No, nothing like that......because I―
Towa
Haah......look, I don't care about tradition or whatever, but a grandma bullying her grandkid is way too immature!
Towa
And if they're not expecting anything, they should at least pretend to! You're family, aren't you!?
Towa
I wouldn't last three days......you worked hard all this time, didn't you, Iroha.
Iroha
Is that......so?
Towa
Everyone would say the same. They'd probably get even angrier than me, wouldn't they? Especially Tsubomi, Kamira, and Mito.
Iroha
(Mito-chan......)
Towa
What's with that face?
Iroha
......It's true, Mito-chan is kind, so she might say that. But I don't have the right to have her get angry for me like that now......
Towa
Huh? Why not???
Iroha
Because I......might have been jealous of Mito-chan. All this time, somewhere in my heart I've been envying people who have Senses.
Iroha
......But because of that, I hurt Mito-chan. Just like when I hurt my sister......
Iroha
Both my sister and Mito-chan were thinking of me......but I only thought about myself.
Iroha
Because of that, Mito-chan can't use her Sense anymore......so I'm......disqualified as Mito-chan's friend.
Towa
Huh!? Are you saying that seriously......? If you are, then cut it out.
