The Stage Where I Shine
Noah: It’s finally time. Thereʼs little point in asking this now… But youʼre ready, right?
Everyone: Yes!
Noah: Well then, finish with your preparations. And make sure to stay focused.
Kokona: Kathrina-chan, the playʼs finally about to begin.
Kathrina: Y-yeah…
Panda: Oh? So even our mighty Kathrin is nervous?
Kathrina: What the hell do you mean? Of course Iʼm going to be nervous!
Shizuka: Being aware of that means you can see yourself clearly. It wonʼt be like before.
Chisa: Looks like the rehearsals to replace Kathrina were unnecessary.
Yae: Yes. Thatʼs a relief.
Yae: But I can always take your place if it is needed, so, please, feel free to let me know.
Kokona: Y-yae-chan…
Shizuka: I-I can see them… Behind Yae-chan there are flames of spirit showing she’ll stop at nothing.
Kathrina: Yes, Iʼll sure tell you. However, I donʼt think there will be such a need at all.
Kokona: Now the flames are burning brightly behind Kathrina-chan too.
Panda: Hey, girls! No unnecessary tensions right before the performance.
Chisa: Rivalry is the pinnacle of the story, but wait until weʼre on stage.
Yae: Alright!
Kathrina: You donʼt have to tell me that.
Panda: By the way… How’s your Sense?
Kathrina: Still no good. Just as I though, I won’t be able to use it.
Kathrina: But that doesn’t matter. I practiced a lot, so I’m sure I’ll pull it off.
Panda: Ah~ Despite the hardships you had to go through, you’re so full of confidence.
Kathrina: Not at all. I’m rather disappointed in myself.
Kathrina: But I am the way I am. And I know that stage is the only place where I belong.
Kathrina: Regardless of how hard things are at times, I can’t just leave. Eventually I’ll still find my way back here.
Kathrina: Probably it’s in my nature to feel this way. I’m my mom’s daughter, after all.
Panda: Wish I could say something like that smiling fearlessly. With such a leading actress this play is sure to be a great success.
Kathrina: Haha, of course it is.
Kathrina: Come on, girls, let’s go. Time to show the audience The Little Mermaid no one’s seen before.
Kathrina: (At last the curtain rises… On the stage where I’m the star…)
Kathrina: (All that is left to do… is to give an enchanting performance with everything I am!)
