Daikoku
-Hmm.

Daikoku
.............

Daikoku
Mmmm~! Haah......

Daikoku
......Damn Panda......

Panda
"There are plenty of better places than where you are now. Since you have a good voice-"

Daikoku
Ah, unforgivable...unforgivable...!

Panda
—Alright! Cleaning, done!

Daikoku
(...Ugh. Panda...!)

Panda
Sassu, sorry to keep you waiting! Let's go to practice~!

Chisa
Munch munch...yeah.

Panda
Oh, feeling energised before practice?

Chisa
Still not enough though...

Classmate
Ah, Panda-chan and Sasuga-chan, are you leaving already?

Panda
That's right. I understand very well how you feel about missing me...

Panda
But I have Sirius now...I'm sorry...!

Chisa
Then I have the Large Magellanic Cloud...

Panda
Just kidding! We just have rehearsal for the next performance!

Classmate
I see! Sorry for keeping you.

Classmate
We were talking about going out together sometime, and I wanted to discuss that. When we decide on something, I'll let you know later~!

Panda
Wow~ that helps a lot~! Well then, see you tomorrow!

Chisa
Bye bye...

Classmate
Yeah. Good luck with practice~.

Daikoku
.............

Daikoku
Oh...?

Daikoku
Oh no, I was spacing out...

Daikoku
Sirius's theater... When did I end up in a place like this...

Daikoku
...!

Daikoku
Now recruiting troupe members, it says...?

Daikoku
Ugh...

Chisa
Ah, the poster...

Panda
Hm? Oh, the one recruiting troupe members.

Chisa
I feel like I heard the previous selection just ended...

Panda
Ah~ I wonder if the selection results emails have been sent already.

Panda
The people who took the audition must be feeling down right about now.

Chisa
It's not easy to find someone who meets Boss's standards.

Panda
Well, let's look forward to next time! Next time for sure, a promising rookie will come like a comet...you know!

Chisa
That would be stimulating...

Panda
Ohhh, Sassu, you want a rival!?

Panda
Even though you have Panda~!

Chisa
It's okay. Panda is Panda, after all.

Panda
So I'm one of a kind, I'll accept that!

Daikoku
What the...! Saying whatever they want...!

Daikoku
(Right now, I'm not even noticed by Sirius...)

Daikoku
(...I won't forgive them. Acting like they've already been recognised...!)

Daikoku
.............

Daikoku
(Why am I...)

Daikoku
(What's...wrong with me...)

Daikoku
(Innate talent? Passion for the stage? Love for the troupe...? I don't understand...)

Daikoku
What should I do from now on...

Daikoku
Apply again next year...?

Daikoku
But...

Daikoku
(What should I do...)

Daikoku
...Oh, is this...a theatre?

Daikoku
E, den... I wonder if it's read as "Eden"?

???
-Hey, where are you going? It's almost time for practice, right?

???
The bulletin board out front!

???
I'm just going to put up this flyer, I'll be right back!

???
~♪

Daikoku
(I wonder if that person is from the theatre... Hmm, she's beautiful...)

???
...Hmm, this will do.

Daikoku
(They're recruiting troupe members here too...but, I...)

???
...Oh?

???
What's wrong? Did something sad happen?

Daikoku
Eh...?

Daikoku
(What, so suddenly...)

???
Heh, don't be so cautious. How could I ignore a cute girl with such a face?

Daikoku
Wha...

???
Hmm. Asking for the reason would be tasteless. Then...

???
I know, why don't you come watch Eden's performance to cheer up? I'm sure there will be a radiance that will soothe your heart.

Daikoku
B-but, so suddenly-

???
I'm saying I want you to come. Come on, let's go!

Daikoku
Wawa...!

Daikoku
(W-what is happening...?)

Daikoku
(Why is this happening...)

Daikoku
(...That's right. I went along with it, but I don't need to obediently sit here.)

Daikoku
(I could still leave...)

Daikoku
(Ah...it's started...)

Eden Member A
"-Then, my princess...!"

???
"No, there's nothing to worry about. This curse has only put her to sleep."

???
"There is already a way to break this curse. It is-"

Daikoku
(This is Eden's stage...)

Daikoku
(Those people's acting is amazing, but...Sirius's stage was still more radiant...)

Daikoku
(I wanted to...stand there too...but-)

???
"Oh, it was you. Prince, it seems I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Daikoku
...!!!

Daikoku
(That person is the one from before...!)

Daikoku
(Amazing...just by her appearing, the atmosphere of the stage has changed...)

Daikoku
(Unique acting...as if her lines are invading my body...but it's not unpleasant. Rather...)

Daikoku
(I can't take my eyes off her...!)
