Panda: Ah~ I’m full! Today’s meal was especially tasty!
Chisa: Panda, are you growing up?
Panda: But of course! Panda’s still growing towards the peak of her cuteness… Wait, that’s not about it!
Panda: I’m saying that rehearsals have been so intense recently the food afterwards tastes delicious!
Yae: Now that the commotion about Kokona-san being scouted has died down, everyone seems to be even more motivated.
Kathrina: It’s only natural. I can’t allow myself to lose to someone who rejected Olympus.
Shizuka: Are you still going on about that?
Panda: No way we’re going to forget something like that. I bet it was such a let-down for Olympus~ ♪
Panda: Ah, by the way, speaking of let-downs. Since Hiiragi-san announced the next play today… I wonder who’ll get which role.
Kokona: When you word it like that, it starts to sound kind of depressing.
Shizuka: Well, let-downs are an inevitable part of actor’s life. Anyway, the next play…
Noah: We’ve decided on the next production. It will be The Little Mermaid.
Noah: You all are well familiar with this one. It’s one of the most popular Sirius’s plays. The cast will be decided through auditions, so be prepared.
Kokona: We’ve read parts from The Little Mermaid during the auditions to join the troupe. Back then I felt so discouraged, but Yae-chan helped me out…
Yae: Hehe, Kokona-san looked like a lost kitten. She was so cute.
Kokona: That’s not true! Yae-chan as the Little Mermaid was the cute one!
Panda: Hey, what are you saying? ♪ Naturally Panda was the cutest!
Chisa: Polar bear is also cute. It’s hard to believe, but it’s three meters long!
Panda: I didn’t mean panda the animal!
Shizuka: What on Earth are you even talking about?
Kathrina: Kokona being cute like a kitten, I guess?
Panda: Yeah, right. And now our sweet Koko-chan has become an actress serious companies lay their eye on.
Chisa: You never know what future holds. Even a cat can become a tiger through acting.
Kokona: Ah, please, stop it!
Kathrina: Well, regardless of whether Kokona is a cat or a tiger, this time I’m going to get the leading role.
Shizuka: You sure seem confident.
Kathrina: It’s not just me. Everyone here feels the same way. We aren’t going to let you take the central position.
Shizuka: Oh, I’m honored. However, since we’re participating in the auditions, we’ll be serious about getting this role.
Kokona: Yes! I won’t lose!
Kathrina: Just as I was hoping for. I’ll make sure to surpass you!
