The World Theatre League stage...Shamo-san and Hiiragi-san both stood on it too, back in the day.

Shizuka
Yes. Knowing that we're about to stand on the same stage they performed on...it really makes you straighten up, doesn't it.

Kathrina
My Mama stood on that stage too. Thinking about how so many Dai Stars across the generations have walked this same path...it makes my spine tingle.

Kathrina
And now I'm about to stand on this stage myself...it's a strange feeling.

Chisa
It's so grand. It feels as vast and deep as outer space.

Panda
Well, it's definitely got the history, that's for sure.

Kokona
But still, I can't help thinking that standing on the World Theatre League stage feels like a dream...even now.

Kokona
Someone like me kept failing audition after audition before I made it into Sirius. I didn't even know if I could become an actor.

Shizuka
Back then, Kokona, you were so anxious and unsure of yourself. ...But I always believed you could make it.

Kokona
Fufu. Thanks, Shizuka-chan. It's because you were always cheering me on that I was able to pass the Sirius audition.

Kokona
And because I got into Sirius, I get to stand on stage together with you like this, Shizuka-chan...that truly makes me so happy.

Shizuka
Kokona...

Panda
I'm glad Koko-chan never gave up! But I gotta say, finding out Oshizu-chan was a Sense really threw me for a loop at first.

Kathrina
For real, I couldn't believe my eyes. ...But it's because you all were there that I was able to get past what happened before. ...I'm grateful.

Shizuka
Looking at you now, you've really become a lot more honest, Kathrina. When we first met, you were just so-

Kathrina
S-Shut up! It's fine, okay...!

Kokona
Ahahaha! It's almost showtime, huh...

Shizuka
Nervous? Kokona.

Kokona
No! ...Is what I'd like to say, but that'd be a lie.

Kokona
But you know, right now this pre-show tension actually feels really exciting!

Shizuka
I know what you mean. It's a kind of nervousness you can only feel by being here.

Panda
That's right. This tension is something only this place can give us! Let's channel all of it into great performances and blow everyone away!

Shizuka
Absolutely. I'm going to deliver a performance so real it hits home. I want to repay Hiiragi-san and Shamo-san for everything they've done for us, too.

Kathrina
Obviously. You don't even have to tell me-I'll show them.

Panda
Hey, Sassu. I'm telling you now-no weird ad-libs!

Chisa
Heh heh heh. Panda, you'd be able to handle it even on a stage like this, right?

Panda
Hey hey hey, seriously cut it out...!!!

Chisa
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. I'll have a great ad-lib ready for you-one that goes way beyond anything you'd expect.

Panda
Give me a break already~~~!!!

Kokona
...Pfft! Ahahaha!

Shizuka
Ahahah...honestly, you two! Don't make me laugh right before the show!

Kathrina
Seriously, acting the same as always even at a time like this...I don't know whether to call it reassuring or what...

Chisa
Sirius just wouldn't be Sirius without this.

Panda
Panda's just getting caught in the crossfire here! ...But anyway, setting that aside! Let's do a huddle before we go on! Come on, everyone gather in.

Panda
For the cheer...Koko-chan, if you would!

Kokona
Huh, me? Okay then, um...here goes...?

Kokona
Let's do this!!!

Everyone
Yeahhh!!!!
