Confidence and Self-awareness
Shigure: Shigure doesn't have time to waste!!!
Daikoku: ......
Iruru: ......Shigure, calm down a bit.
Shigure: Why!? If I don't say it clearly-
Iruru: No. I won't allow you to carry on.
Shigure: Ugh......
Nikako: D-Da-chan and Shigure-chan, why don't you calm down a bit? Okay?
Daikoku: ......Leave me alone already......
Iruru: That's not going to work. You've got a look on your face that says don't leave me alone.
Daikoku: ......
Iruru: Nikako...... Sorry, but can I ask you to take care of Shigure?
Nikako: Eh!? O-Okay!
Shigure: Shigure doesn’t need worrying about......
Iruru: You need to cool down a bit too. Wait here with Nikako.
Shigure: Mmm......
Iruru: Then Daikoku, shall we move to a different location?
Daikoku: ......
Iruru: Have you calmed down? Getting some fresh air is surprisingly effective, isn't it?
Daikoku: ......Yes......
Iruru: I can't believe you got into such a serious fight with Shigure. What happened?
Daikoku: ......It started with the usual argument. But today it just got under my skin......
Iruru: You seem to have a lot on your mind......
Iruru: I'll listen to you, okay? Of course, if you’re okay with me.
Daikoku: ......I can't bring myself to love myself. I can't help but think that......
Daikoku: And yet there's this guy right in front of me who's always so confident...... It just irritates me, pisses me off......and makes me jealous......
Daikoku: I know it's my fault...... It's all my fault that I have no confidence in my acting, and that I can't love myself!
Daikoku: So I thought I should hate myself. That way I could use my Sense. I can shine. I thought everything would work out......
Daikoku: But my Lord......says that's no good......
Daikoku: I just......don't know what to do......
Iruru: ......I know I shouldn't say these words so easily, but I understand how you feel.
Iruru: I'm similar to you in that I have no confidence in myself and can't love myself.
Daikoku: But Iruru-san hasn't been told the same thing by my Lord. ......I'm sure it's because you can love yourself deep down.
Daikoku: Even your acting is completely different from mine......
Iruru: ......
Daikoku: I can't do that. ......Because I've never loved myself.
Daikoku: But......I have to love myself properly...... In order to continue performing on stage at Eden......
Daikoku: I don't want to tarnish Eden......my Lord's stage...... I don't want to tarnish her reputation......
Iruru: ......Hatsumi is so lucky~. She has a girl who thinks of her like this.
Daikoku: ......Anyone can do that if they just want to.
Iruru: In other words, you think that things can't continue like this. ......Right?
Daikoku: ......Yes.
Iruru: Daikoku, do you remember Rapunzel?
Daikoku: ......Of course. It was the first play in Eden where I was given the lead role......
Iruru: Right. Daikoku...... You had so much energy back then.
Daikoku: But that was because Panda came to see it......and I was using my Sense too......
Iruru: So, were the performances that Panda didn't come to see no good? That's not true, is it?
Iruru: It wasn't just your Sense. You must have also wanted to see the lead role through to the end. I think that's what gave you the push you needed.
Iruru: I can see why Hatsumi chose you for the lead role this time. I also want to see Hiyori in a way that only Daikoku can play.
Daikoku: ......Iruru-san, you believe in me, don't you?
Iruru: Of course. You might not like yourself, but I like you.
Iruru: So does Hatsumi, and Nikako. The same goes for Tetra-san and everyone else. Shigure doesn't really want you to go away either.
Daikoku: ......I love Eden too. But......I don't know what to do......
Iruru: So let's figure it out together, okay? How can we make Daikoku love herself?
Daikoku: ......
Iruru: Hmm...... So, what do you think about yourself, loving Eden so much?
Iruru: I think Daikoku has good taste, choosing Eden.
Daikoku: I'm......glad I chose Eden too.
Iruru: Right? Then, how about valuing yourself like that?
Iruru: You chose Eden and you love Eden, so you have to believe in yourself.
Iruru: Believe in yourself, so that you won't be ashamed of the things you love-
Iruru: ......What do you think? Do you think you can do that?
Daikoku: ......
Daikoku: I......
Daikoku: ......Even if I can't love everything about myself, I'll perform for Eden......without shame......
Daikoku: To do that, I have no choice but to practice now......
Daikoku: It's the only thing I have left to rely on......!
Iruru: That's right. That kind of approach suits you, Daikoku.
Iruru: If you just keep practicing and working hard, you’ll definitely grow. You can definitely move forward.
Iruru: Hatsumi will show you where to go.
Iruru: And if you can perform in a way that you won't be ashamed of in front of Hatsumi and Eden, you'll be able to like yourself a little more, right?
Iruru: I'm sure that will give you confidence.
Daikoku: ......Before you hate, you have to rise up. For Eden......and to beat Panda......!
Iruru: Huh......? I didn't realize we weren't talking about Shigure, but Panda-chan instead......?
Daikoku: Heh heh......they're both the same, in my mind.
