Shigure and Daikoku
...Ah.

Shigure
Daikoku-senpai, aren't you coming earlier than usual? Please don't arrive at the exact same time as Shigure, okay~?

Daikoku
Huh? How would I know when you're coming...! Today I just happened to finish school stuff early, so I came a bit sooner, that's all...

Daikoku
And if you don't like it, then you change your timing...! Before you go ordering people around, shouldn't you fix yourself?

Shigure
But Shigure has Hatsumi-san's pickup time and stuff...can you stop pushing unreasonable demands on someone younger? That's not very mature of you~.

Daikoku
Ugh...the fact that you get to enjoy the luxury of being picked up by my Lord is already unforgivable...!!!

Shigure
Okay, okay, I get it. Can we just head in already? I won't be responsible if we're late~.

Daikoku
I-I know that!!!

Shigure
Um, Daikoku-senpai? Could you please stop following right behind Shigure?

Daikoku
Listen here...!!! This is the only hallway to the rehearsal space, and it's a straight path...!? What am I supposed to do...!

Daikoku
I'm not following you because I want to, you brat!

Shigure
Really? But Daikoku-senpai, when you think about it, you really do love Shigure, don't you~?

Shigure
So I thought maybe you were doing it on purpose.

Daikoku
What!? Who loves who...!? That's a huge misunderstanding...!

Shigure
That's what they call tsundere, right~? I get it, Shigure's more emotionally mature anyway~.

Daikoku
There's nothing mature about you, you damn brat. You were crying your eyes out like a baby not long ago when everyone was worried about you...

Shigure
I wasn't crying at all~. Please stop making wild accusations like that~.

Daikoku
...But, well...you're glad, right? You get to keep acting...?

Shigure
! ...Yes. And that's all thanks to Daikoku-senpai and Nikako-senpai. Thank you so much.

Daikoku
Hmph, so there are times when you can say thank you honestly?

Shigure
Because back then...if Daikoku-senpai and the others hadn't pushed my back, I probably couldn't have made a direct appeal to Hatsumi-san...

Shigure
If I hadn't been able to tell Hatsumi-san how I felt back then...maybe the Prometheus Award wouldn't have happened...

Shigure
And if that happened, I don't know if I could've kept acting...even without that, I might've caused Eden trouble...

Daikoku
Hmm...well, I'll accept your thanks, at least. And you better show proper respect to your seniors from now on!

Shigure
Huh~? But Shigure already respects you plenty~. Oh, Daikoku-senpai, want me to carry your stuff~?

Shigure
It must be heavy for someone your age~. Let Shigure take care of you~.

Daikoku
You little...! Just when I thought you were being a bit humble...!!!

Hatsumi
My, it seems you two get along very well.

Shigure
Huh...

Daikoku
Hah...!?

Shigure and Daikoku
We do not get along!!!
