Hatsumi
You all worked hard until the final performance.

Daikoku, Nikako, Iruru, Shigure
...

Hatsumi
The stage's reputation is excellent, we can call it a success. We were able to show our troupe's expressive power, different from 'The Demon's Friend.'

Hatsumi
This is entirely due to your efforts. This time especially, there must have been many confusing moments.

Hatsumi
There were times when our direction went astray...

Hatsumi
Despite all that, you did well...thank you.

Daikoku
My Lord...!

Hatsumi
There's some time before the next performance is decided. Rest well and regain your energy.

Hatsumi
You may go home once you finish cleaning up your stations. Well then, dismissed!

Daikoku, Nikako, Iruru, Shigure
Thank you very much!

Nikako
Hmm hmm hmm♪

Daikoku
You look happy, Nikkachi.

Nikako
Yeah! The performance was a success, and I'm wondering what to do on my days off!

Shigure
Well, things were pretty hectic. It feels like we ran straight through to the final performance?

Iruru
Hah, that's true. I was tense right until the end.

Iruru
Phaaaaa~...

Hatsumi
Hey now, don't fall asleep here? You might get cleaned up along with the chairs.

Iruru
Don't treat me like equipment~

Iruru
...I'm glad the stage ended safely to the very end. Now you can give your sister a good report too.

Hatsumi
...!

Hatsumi
Heh, that's right.

Nikako
Oh right! Ren-san, if it's okay, I'd like to see a photo of Futaba-chan! Since I greeted her before, I'd like to know what she looks like.

Daikoku
Hey!? Nikkachi!!! That's going too far...

Hatsumi
No, Daikoku. You don't need to be considerate. I talked about it before, it would be strange to hide it from you all.

Daikoku
Th-then... Wow, my Lord! Your sister, um...what kind of person was she?

Hatsumi
What kind of person...hmm...

Hatsumi
Let's see... Hehe, she was bright and the kind of child who would pull me along.

Nikako
Pull Ren-san along...!?

Iruru
I can't imagine Hatsumi being led by someone...I thought you'd been pulling people along since childhood...like a gang leader.

Hatsumi
I was certainly called that when I was young. But it was different when it came to Futaba.

Shigure
Heh~? So you were soft on your sister?

Daikoku
You! Even though my lord graciously told us about her sister, what are you grinning about!? Can't brats even read the room?

Shigure
Huh? This isn't grinning, it's called friendly conversation!

Shigure
Well, Daikoku-senpai probably doesn't have many friends, so I guess it can't be helped that you don't understand~?

Daikoku
What did you say~!!!

Hatsumi
Both of you, calm down. ...Indeed, Shigure is right.

Hatsumi
She was my precious sister whom I wouldn't mind cherishing completely. Naturally, my attitude toward her differed from others.

Iruru
Wow! Close sisters. I would have liked to meet her~!

Hatsumi
Yes. I'm sure she would have gotten along with you all too. Hehe...I'll bring a photo of Futaba next time.

Nikako
Ugh~, but it might be unfair for only Ren-san to show photos of important family.

Nikako
...I know!

Nikako
Then how about we all gather during the next break and show each other our memorable photos!?

Iruru
That sounds good. I feel bad making only Hatsumi talk, and getting to know each other is important as actors in the same troupe.

Daikoku
Eh...that's a bit embarrassing...b-but I would like my Lord to know about me...

Shigure
What are you mumbling about~? If you don't want to participate, Shigure will decline for you~?

Daikoku
I never said that! I'll participate! Rather, you're the one who probably doesn't have photos to show people!

Shigure
Unlike Daikoku-senpai, Shigure has a fulfilling daily life, so please don't be surprised by the amount of photos?

Hatsumi
You two...

Hatsumi
Heh, then it's decided. Next Sunday, gather with your photos!
