Hatsumi
Well then, to celebrate the success of "Oedipus Rex"...cheers!

Iruru/Nikako/Shigure/Daikoku/Tetra
Cheers!

Iruru
But...having our celebration in the rehearsal room is a bit dull~

Hatsumi
We're still in the performance period, so this is just a mid-run party. We'll have a proper one with everyone later.

Tetra
I prefer keeping things small and cosy like this. Besides, the food and drinks are all delicious.

Iruru
This food was made at your family home, right Hatsumi? It all looks so fancy, was that really okay...?

Hatsumi
I told them to keep it simple, but my parents seem to have gotten excited. Don't worry and just enjoy it.

Nikako
Is that so...! I'm so grateful to Ren-san's mum and dad!

Daikoku
My Lord's parents... I must properly pay my respects to them someday...

Iruru
You're saying things that could be misunderstood~

Daikoku
They've done so much for us, isn't it natural to thank them...?

Nikako
Yeah, yeah! I'd like to give them something in return too!

Iruru
Right...that's all you meant...

Iruru
Maybe my mind's a bit dirty...

Shigure
......

Iruru
Shigure, are you eating properly? If there's anything you fancy, I'll serve you some.

Shigure
Y-you don't need to worry about me all the time! Shigure can manage on her own!

Nikako
Oh, then shall I pour you some juice? Or would you like me to get you some snacks?

Daikoku
There's no need to be shy... Children are naturally selfish...

Shigure
Jeez! Shigure is fine! Just enjoy yourselves without worrying about me!

Iruru
Yes, yes, understood~

Daikoku
Hmph! Putting on a brave face...!

Nikako
Shigure-chan, let me know if you need anything!

Shigure
You're all such busybodies...

Shigure
(If I'd accepted that scout offer, I wouldn't be here now.)

Shigure
(I wouldn't have been more appreciated for "Oedipus Rex"...I wouldn't be eating together with everyone like this...)

Shigure
(As I thought, I wasn't wrong...)

Tetra
Really, with those happy faces... Young people are just dazzling by nature.

Hatsumi
Yes...that's right...

Futaba
Onee-chan, well done.

Hatsumi
There's no need to praise me. I just did what I wanted, same as always.

Hatsumi
...Hey, Futaba. What did you think of my performance?

Futaba
Of course, it was the best.

Hatsumi
I see...!

Iruru
Huh...? Hey, Hatsumi~?

Hatsumi
Zzz...zzz...

Iruru
She's fallen asleep...she must have been really tired...

Iruru
...Rest well now. Our precious troupe leader...
