Eden (Part 1)

Nikako: Haha, both the marigolds and the freesias look healthy! Drink lots of water today~♪

Classmate A: Nikako, are you chatting with flowers again? You're still a natural......

Classmate B: This is your first year in the gardening club, but you're enjoying it more than anyone else. It's hard to believe that she just moved to Tokyo and started going to high school.

Nikako: Even when I was on the island, I grew flowers at school. It's fun, isn't it?

Nikako: And Aogashima is also in Tokyo! It's not quite the same as moving to Tokyo!

Classmate B: Haha, sorry, sorry. Well then, I guess we'll be working on the flowerbeds over there.

Classmate A: Nikako, I'll leave this side to you.

Nikako: Okay.

Nikako: Now that I’ve finished watering, next is......

Iruru: Well well, you're working hard at club activities today too.

Nikako: Ah, Irurun! Thanks for your hard work!

Iruru: Hey hey, I'm a third-year student and a senior in the troupe, you know? You can call me Yorozu Iruru-senpai, you~!

Nikako: Waah, was that too easy-going......?

Iruru: Ahaha, I'm just kidding. I'm afraid that it’d be too formal now after you gave me a nickname as soon as we met.

Iruru: I like the nickname 'Irurun' because it's cute. You can keep calling me that like you have been.

Nikako: I understand! Thank you, Irurun!

Iruru: Your adaptability is amazing. From the looks of it, you seem to be doing well at school.

Nikako: That's because Irurun has given me a lot of support. Thanks to that, I am enjoying high school life to the fullest!

Iruru: You're Eden's cute junior. It's only natural that I should care about you.

Nikako: I'm so lucky to have a wonderful senior......

Iruru: This kid suddenly started saying things like an old man…...

Nikako: Haha, maybe I picked up Irurun's tone.

Iruru: Who's that old man from downtown?

Iruru: Oh, by the way, today is a practice day, right? Are you sure you're okay with club activities?

Nikako: Ren-san is going to pick me up in her car. She said I can do whatever I want until then.

Iruru: Well then, I guess I'll go to the rehearsal hall first. It would be a pity to leave Daikoku alone.

Nikako: Okay. I'll see you at the rehearsal hall!

Nikako: Oh, I'm sorry I'm late! I was late cleaning up for club activities......

Shigure: How could you make Shigure wait for her junior in the theatre company? You really have a lot of nerve, don't you~?

Nikako: Huh? Shigure-chan?

Hatsumi: I just saw her on the street, so I gave her a ride.

Shigure: Hatsumi, you're being a little too casual. Bringing someone along like you're getting take-out.

Nikako: That's how important Shigure-chan is. After all, she is Eden's ace actress!

Shigure: Hmm…...it can't be helped if that's the case, right?

Hatsumi: No, I just wanted to drive with Nikako and Shigure.

Shigure: Hah?

Hatsumi: I need a change of pace once in a while. Even if it's me, I don't want to be under too much stress.

Nikako: But, what time is the practice at......?

Hatsumi: We will be a little late, but I, the person in charge, have given permission. There's no problem, right?

Nikako: I wonder if it's OK......

Hatsumi: It's fine. Come on, get in, get in.
