Invitation to Paradise (Middle Part)

Nikako: 'I will never forget that you came to see me.'

Nikako: 'I will wait for you. Until the day you come back again.......I'll always......always be here......!'

Nikako: ......Like this?

Tetra: Oh......this one is a surprise.......

Hatsumi: A gem, right? I want her in Paradise.

Tetra: I know how you feel......

Nikako: Um~ what are you talking about? Paradise is......?

Hatsumi: Oh, sorry. By Paradise, I mean our theatre company, Eden.

Nikako: Eden.......

Hatsumi: Nikako, I would like to scout you as an actor for Eden.

Nikako: Scout me......as an actor......?

Nikako: Eh? Eeeehhh!?

Nikako: What are you talking about!? I'm just an amateur!? I like pretending to be in a play, but I don't have the confidence to become a professional!

Hatsumi: Confidence is something that can be dealt with later. The most important thing is your talent as an actor.

Hatsumi: You definitely have that. Just by looking at the pretend play earlier, I could easily tell.

Nikako: B-But.......

Tetra: ......It's not often that this one says so much. Could you please think about it for a moment?

Tetra: Of course, I'm not asking you to go on stage out of the blue.

Hatsumi: In my opinion, that's perfectly fine though?

Nikako: Eh!?

Tetra: Hatsumi, you should shut up for a minute......

Tetra: I and Hatsumi will teach you everything you lack in knowledge and skills. Don't worry about that.

Nikako: But.......

Hatsumi: Eden is not a very big theatre company. Besides, we are in a very difficult situation right now.

Hatsumi: It is precisely at times like this that we need new strength to move forward. Nikako, that is you.

Tetra: Even though we are in a difficult situation, we have enough energy to support one new actor. You don't have to worry about that either.

Nikako: .......

Hatsumi: If you have even the slightest idea that you want to be an actor-

Hatsumi: -I would like you to join our troupe.

Nikako: ......Please let me think about it a little.
