Eden Today
Daikoku: ......Today's rehearsal is for The Phantom of the Opera, huh.
Shigure: The final performance has just finished, and we're doing it again?
Hatsumi: Tetra-san suggested it. She wants to take another look at our acting skills.
Tetra: We only need to do one scene. Try to impress me with it. However…...if you forget your role, I won't let you get away with it.
Iruru: Wow, scary, scary.
Nikako: Tetra-san......is your body okay?
Tetra: Don't worry so much. I've got the doctor's seal of approval.
Tetra: I nearly died so I could give you guys proper criticism. Improve your acting quickly and let me go to the afterlife.
Hatsumi: It's complicated for us to hear you say it like that.
Tetra: I'm asking you to show me a performance that will make me ascend to heaven.
Tetra: Well...... Enough pointless chatter, let's start the rehearsals!
Everyone: Yes!
Tetra: ......Okay, that's enough!
Tetra: Hatsumi and Iruru get a pass mark. You seem to have mastered the performance I drilled into you.
Hatsumi: Of course.
Iruru: As a senpai, I can't let the younger generation see me looking uncool.
Tetra: Shigure, Nikako! You guys should pay more attention to what's going on around you. Acting isn't just about imposing yourself on others.
Nikako: Y-Yes! I understand.
Shigure: Yeees. I'll remember that~.
Tetra: Daikoku is the opposite....... You care too much about the performances around you. I'm going to be harsh, but it was the worst.
Daikoku: Y-Yes......
Tetra: Have a more relaxed mind and focus more on expressing yourself. Don't make the people watching you feel insecure.
Daikoku: Insecure......? I don’t really understand......
Tetra: ......Well, it's not something you can catch on to quickly. Keep in mind what I said. That's good for now.
Daikoku: Yes......
Tetra: Well then, that's it for today's training! Don't carry over today's fatigue into tomorrow.
Everyone: Yes!
Nikako: Haah~......Tetra-san was really strict today, wasn’t she?
Iruru: Even if you say that, you’re still smiling.
Nikako: I'm really happy that Tetra-san is so full of energy.
Shigure: She's so energetic that it's rather scary.
Shigure: It's a lie that she's a sick person, isn't it?
Tetra: I wouldn't tell such a stupid lie when I'm not even on stage. In fact, I'm not even fully recovered yet.
Tetra: But I've survived for this long. I just feel like doing everything I want to do now.
Hatsumi: You love the stage from the bottom of your soul. It's wonderful.
Daikoku: .............
Hatsumi: ......Daikoku, what's wrong?
Daikoku: Ah......n-no! It's nothing. ......I was just thinking about my dinner tonight......
Shigure: Haha! Daikoku-senpai, are you switching to a foodie character?
Daikoku: Shut up......! I'm eating alone tonight, so I have to think about a lot of things…...!
Hatsumi: What? Are your parents away?
Daikoku: Yes...... They're both going to be late tonight......
Hatsumi: Hmm......then I can invite you to dinner with impunity, can't I?
Daikoku: Eh......?
Hatsumi: I'm sorry for taking you out so suddenly.
Hatsumi: This is my treat. Eat whatever you like.
Daikoku: No, no! I won’t be so forward......! I’m honoured just to be with my Lord!
Hatsumi: Don't be so awed. I'm actually in the mood to talk to someone tonight.
Daikoku: My Lord......seems somewhat happy. Are you talking about Tetra-san, by any chance......?
Hatsumi: Hmm......you're very perceptive. Or maybe I'm just too easy to understand?
Hatsumi: Tetra-san......will have to continue to go to the doctor, but for the time being she no longer fears for her life.
Hatsumi: I've only just heard that, but look at what I've become. Maybe it means I'm still a youngster.
Daikoku: When it's about someone you care about, it's natural to be moved......
Daikoku: Actually, I was also moved by my Lord's smile just now......
Daikoku: I......was depressed all the time until just now. The words that were said in today's training have been echoing in my head for a long time......
Hatsumi: ......Tetra-san was harsh on you.
Daikoku: Yes......but I'm fine now.
Daikoku: When I see my Lord’s happy face, I’m satisfied too…... I will be able to do my best again next time....
Daikoku: I may be kept alive by my Lord......
Hatsumi: Those are comforting words, but…... I'm not interested in actors who are merely dependent on me.
Hatsumi: Follow me with your own will. That's the kind of actor I need in my Eden.
Daikoku: Y-Yes......!
Daikoku: (With my own will, follow my Lord at all costs....... That is what I should aim for......!)
Hatsumi: Oops, that's right. Keep your schedule free for the next holiday weekend.
Daikoku: i-is there something I can help you with......?
Hatsumi: I'm thinking of trying a new approach to take Eden one step further.
Daikoku: A new approach......
