Reunion

Towa
...Phew~, I was worried when Chiho suddenly brought me up, but thanks to using Kamira as a shield, I avoided unnecessary attention.

Kamira
No, she clearly knew it was you!?

Mito
Ahaha. Everyone probably was considerate because...it was so obvious that Towa-chan wanted to enjoy GameFes...

Towa
-Ah!

Towa
Let's go, quick.

Kamira
What is it now?

Mito
...Ah.

Chiho
...Hello. I never thought Towa-chan and the Gekidan Denki members would be at "Game Festa" too.

Towa
...

Mito
Hello...Chiho-chan...it's been a while.

Chiho
Did you come here privately today? Or perhaps you're scheduled to appear on stage...?

Mito
Yes. Mito and Towa-chan are going to be on the "Phantasma" stage... We still have time, so we were looking around the venue.

Towa
Hey, Mito! Why did you tell her!?

Mito
Ehhh...!?

Kamira
Now, now. It's fine to talk about that much.

Chiho
I see! I'm free after this, so I'll come watch!

Chiho
Ah...if it's not a bother...that is.

Chiho
Is that okay...? Towa-chan.

Towa
...Well, the sponsors would probably be happy. I don't have the right to tell you not to come, so do whatever you want.

Chiho
Thank you! -Oh right, Towa-chan.

Towa
What?

Chiho
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" was amazing...! It was completely different from your acting in "Alice in Wonderland," and I was overwhelmed.

Chiho
I was moved to tears seeing the beautiful Hermia choose to elope. And yet, watching her chase after Lysander after his change of heart was both humorous and wonderful!

Towa
...Thanks.

Towa
Well? That's only natural, right? I'm good at any style.

Mito
Chiho-chan, you came to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Thank you.

Chiho
Yes. I was a bit surprised by the unique stage that actively involved the audience...but it was really fun!

Chiho
You were very well received, Puck-san. I think you did a wonderful job leading as the narrator.

Kamira
Really!? Getting such praise from Chiho-chan is, like, super extremely amazing~! I'm really happy!

Chiho
Fufu, please don't be so formal. It made me feel that I need to practice even harder myself.

Towa
Oh, is that so? Good luck. Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now~

Kamira
Towa!?

Towa
...I'm going to try out the demo, so you two handle the rest! See ya!

Mito
She left... That's too bad, Chiho-chan.

Chiho
What is?

Mito
Um...I thought maybe you wanted to talk more with Towa-chan.

Chiho
No, I couldn't presume to ask for such a thing. I'm just a fellow actor who loves Towa-chan's performances.

Kamira
Is that so...? To us, it's more like Chiho-chan is the intimidating one, who's hard to approach...

Chiho
...Fufu. But it seems Towa-chan is avoiding me a bit. Somehow it feels like...the distance between us has grown.

Mito
...Chiho-chan.

Chiho
But it's alright. I'm happy just watching Towa-chan shine on stage.

Kamira
Ahaha~ Then that's good.

Chiho
...

Chiho
I was also paying attention to you in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Shiromaru Mito-san, who played Helena.

Mito
Eh?

Chiho
From a purely acting perspective, you were also incredible. Of course, the Helena role is designed to express rich emotions.

Chiho
Being loved by someone who never looked your way before, thanks to a love potion. The way you portrayed suffering yet also happiness...that emotional depiction that went beyond comedy.

Chiho
In Gekidan Denki's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the relationships between the four men and women were comical yet conveyed complex and delicate emotional nuances...

Chiho
The fact that it was so well presented was largely due to your acting skills.

Mito
...

Kamira
I don't quite get it, but Mitorin is being super praised...!?

Chiho
Fufufu.

Mito
T-thank you, Chiho-chan. But I don't deserve that much praise...

Mito
It wasn't just me, but everyone working together to create a good play...I think it was because everyone cooperated...

Kamira
No no, don't underestimate yourself. I heard it was Mitorin who suggested to everyone that we should strengthen our connections, right?

Kamira
Chiho-chan is right. I think Mitorin's acting was really good!

Mito
... Is...that so?
