Consultation

Daikoku: (Phew...... why am I so nervous about school after a few days off......)

Daikoku: (No...... I can't be so pathetic.)

Daikoku: (Be of my own will and follow my Lord at all costs....... That is what I should aim for......)

Daikoku: (I have to do my best for my Lord......!)

Panda: Karasu, long time no see! You seem to be doing better.

Daikoku: What, what's with you all of a sudden? You're getting too familiar.

Panda: We're classmates, you don't have to talk like that~

Chisa: Panda was worried about you while you were off.

Daikoku: What? Why......?

Panda: Well, if I heard that you’d collapsed from fatigue, I’d be worried, wouldn't I?

Daikoku: Don't talk nonsense! Unnecessary worry is more of a nuisance than anything…...!

Chisa: Karasu is embarrassed. Her black feathers are bright red.

Daikoku: S-Shut up! If you're going to tease me any more......!

Panda: Ah, no, no! That's not it! There's something I'd like to consult you about!

Daikoku: Consult......?

Panda: Renjakuno writes the scripts for Eden's original plays, right? There are a lot of really interesting ones, aren't there?

Daikoku: Of course. All of my Lord's scripts are excellent.

Panda: That's why we thought we'd like to act in them too. If it's possible for us to use the script, we can talk to Hiiragi-san about it.

Daikoku: (Sirius is going to act out My Lord's play......!?)

Daikoku: .............

Daikoku: That's......not for me to judge. I'd have to ask my Lord and Tetra-san......

Panda: So, if it's okay…... Could you just ask Renjakuno-san casually…...?

Panda: If it looks like we can get the OK, Panda will talk to Hiiragi-san, and have her get Renjakuno-san officially offer it to Sirius Theatre Company!

Panda: Please! Just like that!

Chisa: Just like that from me too.

Daikoku: Yes.......

Daikoku: (What is it with those guys.......? They suddenly spoke to me and wanted to put on a play by my Lord.)

Daikoku: (Ah, it's so confusing......!)

Daikoku: -And that's why I'm here.......

Hatsumi: Hmm, so they want to use my script......

Shigure: Huh? Sirius is so brazen. I feel like they should figure something out for themselves before borrowing someone else's script, shouldn’t they?

Hatsumi: I don’t mind.

Shigure: That’s right, that’s right, I don’t m...haah!?

Daikoku: Eh......!?

Iruru: Wow, you give permission easily, don't you?

Hatsumi: I'd like to see how someone else adds flavor to my script.

Hatsumi: If it's Sirius, then that would be perfect.

Iruru: Ah…... Sirius has Hiiragi-san, after all. When you put it that way, it does make me curious.

Nikako: Kokona-chan and Kathrina-san will be playing the roles we played…...

Nikako: That's kind of exciting! I want to watch it too!

Shigure: …...It's true, it seems like it would be nice to see how far Niizuma can take her performance…...

Hatsumi: So that's how it is. Can you tell Panda and the others that there's no problem with us?

Daikoku: Y-Yes. I understand. I’ll let them know......!

Daikoku: (Even though that Sirius bowed their heads, she remained completely calm and unfazed…...)

Daikoku: (And she is greedy enough to even use the other people's's interests for her own gain...! As expected of my Lord…...! I, Karasumori Daikoku, pledge my loyalty once again…...!)

Hiiragi: Phew.......

Hatsumi: What's the matter, you look so tired. Do you want me to soothe you?

Hiiragi: ......Why are you here?

Hatsumi: Why am I here? I'm here to ask you out on a date.

Hiiragi: I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline today.

Hatsumi: Don't be so cold. I want to have dinner with you once in a while.

Hiiragi: Then make an appointment in advance.

Hatsumi: That's boring. It's too businesslike and unexciting.

Hiiragi: I'm not looking for excitement.

Hatsumi: …...The new Eden play I'm writing. How about I tell you about it?

Hiiragi: .............

Hatsumi: I won't do anything bad. All you have to do is accompany me for a few drinks.

Hiiragi: ......If it’s only for a little while.

Hatsumi: Heh heh, that's the way it should be.

Hatsumi: This is the title of my new work. Don't read it out loud yet. I don't want anyone else to hear it.

Hiiragi: ……For a script you wrote, it’s surprisingly twist free.

Hatsumi: I'm aiming for a straightforward story, without grandiose foreshadowing or twists and turns.

Hiiragi: That's all the more unusual. Honestly, I don't think that's like you.

Hatsumi: Doesn't that bother you? This me, I'm going to write a straight play.

Hiiragi: .............

Hatsumi: Hmmm...... I could see Hiiragi's greedy face. It's was worth inviting you after all.

Hiiragi: Don't talk to me in a vulgar way.

Hatsumi: Oops, excuse me. I got a little excited.

Hatsumi: But it was a good idea to show it to you after all. I've gained more confidence in the script I'm writing.

Hiiragi: Don't talk big until you've finished writing it. You won't know how the script is going to turn out until the final draft is finished.

Hatsumi: ......Can I take that statement as a sign of anticipation for the completion of the script?

Hiiragi: ......You can interpret it however you like.

Hatsumi: Heh heh....... Then I'll have to work harder than ever on my writing.
