Believe in Yourself

Audience Member A: (I can’t take my eyes off the stage! I don’t want to miss even a second…)

Audience Member B: (I’m so happy… It’s as if the time has stopped…)

Audience Member B: (That’s… The Little Mermaid of Sirius!)

Kokona: That’s a storm of applause… The audience keeps cheering!

Shizuka: Yeah… Our play being received so well is definitely thanks to our leading actress.

Kokona: Yup! Kathrina-chan as the Little Mermaid was amazing!

Kathrina: …

Kokona: Kathrina-chan?..

Panda: It’s time to make our exit. Supporting actors should quickly withdraw!

Kokona: Wa-a-ah!

Noah: Kathrina.

Kathrina: Hiiragi-san… Sorry, I’ll be off stage right away.

Noah: No… That’s not why I called out to you. There’s something I would like to tell you.

Noah: It was an excellent play. I’m not exaggerating. You performed the role really good.

Kathrina: My Sense has returned. And it shines even brighter than before.

Noah: Yes… I could see it clearly. Your Sense has become so much stronger.

Kathrina: I wonder if I’ve made some progress…

Noah: If you want to find out, come with me.

Kathrina: Huh?

Kathrina: A passageway next to the stage?

Shamo: Oh, are you joining me today?

Dugong: Squeak!

Kathrina: Shamo-san… and Dugong? Why are you here?

Shamo: I usually come here after the performance. In this passageway the audience can’t see us.

Noah: But we can hear what people say when leaving the venue.

Kathrina: I get that, but…

Shamo: Now listen carefully.

Kathrina: Huh?

Audience Member A: Wow, what a play! Sirius lives up to its reputation!

Audience Member B: The Little Mermaid was so good! Watching her made my heart burn!

Audience Member C: I have to come here again! I want to see more plays with her!

Kathrina: Oh…

Noah: Well? Wasn’t your answer already there? You became a leading actress at Sirius.

Kathrina: Yes!
