Preparing for the Audition (Part 1)
Panda
...Huh, so that's how they adapted it.
(...Asmodeus disappearing without make a contract. It's like a script written just for Oshizu-chan.
In the end, Hiiragi has no intention of losing Oshizu-chan. --Unless Oshizu-chan gives a really terrible performance.
In that case, Koko-chan is the most likely candidate for Hiyori. It's clear that it will be a tough fight with her.
In that case, rather than forcing myself to get the lead role, it would be better to aim for Hotaru, the exorcist guardian deity who has more screen time.
...Wait. I'm sure the other members are thinking the same thing.)
Sirius Members
.....
Panda
(There are only five named roles. Oshizu-chan and Koko-chan are almost certainly in the cast.
You're doing some pretty brutal things, Hiiragi-san.
As for the others...)
Kathrina
Unlike in the Eden version, Hiyori ultimately shows personal growth as she feels Asmodeus's kindness within her heart. In other words, even in the unchanged first half—
Panda
(...Playing the Little Mermaid has made her even more formidable. She intends to steal Hiyori away from Koko-chan...
With Kathrin now, it's not impossible. But what about Niizumacchi...?)
Chisa
Who is Niizuma aiming for?
Yae
I'd like to play the role of Hiyori♪
Because Hiyori is just an ordinary girl of today, she seems capable of a bold performance that isn't bound by classical acting conventions.
Panda
(Wow, she said it with conviction... That's typical of Dai Star. I can feel her overflowing confidence, not just a warning.)
Yae
Besides, I've always wanted to perform with Shizuka-san.
Panda
( ! )
Shizuka
Hmm. That's a possibility, I suppose.
Kokona
No, there isn't!
Even if Yae-chan is the opponent, I won't let you play Hiyori! It's absolutely, definitely, 100% up to be me who gets to co-star with Shizuka-chan!
Kathrina
...Please don't leave me out. The way I am now, I can play Hiyori perfectly, better than Kokona or Niizuma.
Chisa
Wow, you're really popular, Shizuka.
Shizuka
Why is it become a sure thing that I will definitely playing Asmodeus...?
Seriously, does nobody think I'm going to fail the audition?
Kokona
I'm sure Shizuka-chan will pass!
Kathrina
Asmodeus, it's written all over your face that you're going to put on a show.
Shizuka
...Well, yeah.
Sorry to everyone aiming for Asmodeus, but I'm definitely going to pass.
Chisa
Wow. This is going to be a fierce audition.
We need to eat somen noodles to cool down, otherwise we'll get heatstroke. Right, Panda?
Panda
.....
Chisa
Panda?
Panda
(...What?
Why are you trying to play it safe?
Are you really okay with becoming an actor who chooses roles based on calculation? What's the point of being an actor then?)
...I'm going after Asmodeus. As a main cast member, I'm going to go wild and make a splash!
Chisa
Panda is joining the fray, too.
Panda
Yeah, it's pointless unless you give it your all!
Chisa
Yeah, that's a good idea too.
Panda
...By the way, what about Sassu? Doesn't you want to be the lead?
Chisa
Hmm... I think I'd like to play the mother this time.
Panda
Wait, that's totally a supporting role.
Chisa
It's not every day you get to be a mother who's at odds with her daughter. Besides, I really wanted to have a big fight with my daughter.
Panda
What kind of reason is that...
But I guess that's typical of Sassu.
