Iruru
Shigure...what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

Shigure
...I was just thinking about something.

Iruru
I see...

Shigure
...Hey, Iruru-senpai. What does it feel like to be featured in the Saint-Claud Guide?

Iruru
Eh? Well...

Iruru
I'm not really in a position to say since I've never been featured...but I imagine it must be something to be proud of, right?

Shigure
Is that because it means you're closer to becoming a Dai Star?

Iruru
Hmm...I wonder? Being featured in the Saint-Claud Guide doesn't necessarily mean you'll become a Dai Star.

Shigure
But being featured means you've been recognized by many people, right...

Shigure
Doesn't that mean you're closest to becoming a Dai Star?

Iruru
...That is...

Shigure
Then, wouldn't being featured in the Saint-Claud Guide be the shortcut to becoming a Dai Star-

Tetra
Does Eden's way not sit well with you?

Shigure
...!

Shigure
Th-that's not it at all! I said it before, didn't I? Eden is suitable for Shigure.

Tetra
But that doesn't mean you agree with everything, right?

Shigure
...

Tetra
That's fine. Shigure, you should do what you want.

Shigure
Eh...?

Tetra
What's important is that you're passionate about acting, whatever form it takes. You don't need to follow Eden's policies for that.

Shigure
B-but...

Iruru
I know that's not much help...but I agree with Tetra-san.

Shigure
Iruru-senpai...

Iruru
I think all we can do is experience different things, find our own way, and move forward.

Iruru
I'm still figuring things out myself...

Shigure
...Does that mean Shigure's thinking wasn't wrong?

Tetra
What I'm saying is that no one can decide what's wrong or right. You have to determine the answer for yourself.

Shigure
Decide for myself...

Shigure
But that way... In the end, I still don't know what to do, right?

Tetra
That's why I told you. Your life is for you to decide.

Shigure
Th-that's just leaving me hanging!?

Tetra
Of course it is. I can't take responsibility for someone else's life.

Iruru
That's right. We can help and give advice as much as possible though.

Shigure
Geez...

Tetra
Or what? You'd be content with a life chosen by others?

Shigure
...Hmph! Then Shigure will do as she pleases too! There are lots of things I want to do!

Iruru
Oh? For example?

Shigure
First of all...I think I'll go scout other theatre companies.

Shigure
Iruru-senpai and Tetra-san, you'll come with me too, right?

Iruru
...Huh? Why us too?

Shigure
If I involve both of you, I won't be scared of Hatsumi-san either.

Tetra
I thought it was just a random idea, but you've actually thought this through. But do you have any theatre companies in mind?

Shigure
Of course I do. First Olympus, then Gingaza.

Iruru
Wow, going straight to learn from the top tier.

Shigure
It's not learning, it's s-c-o-u-t-i-n-g!

Shigure
Shouldn't we properly assess what kind of plays the theatre companies acknowledged by the Saint-Claud Guide are performing now?

Tetra
Hahaha! Looking down on those two major theatre companies! Interesting. I'll go along with you.

Tetra
It's good to see orthodox mainstream performances once in a while too.

Iruru
If Tetra-san says so, I can't refuse either.

Shigure
Fufufu...Eden's founder and a senior actor with real skill...! With these two, I should get to hear various opinions!

Tetra
That's right. We'll have to be careful with our comments too.

Iruru
Haah...I was hoping to watch more casually.

Shigure
Don't say such pathetic things, stand tall. You're the people this Shigure has chosen as companions!

Shigure
I wonder what kind of plays Olympus and Gingaza will show us. Aha! I'm excited!

Shigure
(Whatever kind of play it is...Shigure will make it all her own!)
