Shigure
...A-Actually...um...

Nikako and Daikoku
!?

Shigure
Shigure wants to become...a Dai Star quickly...no, I mean, it's not like...it has to be Dai Star or anything...

Daikoku
? What's that, what do you mean...? So you don't want to become a Dai Star...?

Shigure
Well...I'd be happy if I could become a Dai Star, but...it's not that...

Shigure
Shigure doesn't have much time...right now, immediately...I need some kind of visible recognition like Dai Star or something...

Nikako
Why don't you have time...?

Shigure
Because...it's a promise with Papa and Mama.

Nikako and Daikoku
A promise...?

Shigure
Yeah...my Papa and Mama are really devoted to their work...

Shigure
Because of that, they don't think very highly of things that are inefficient or working hard at something that doesn't earn money...

Shigure
So the stage too...the job of being an actor...it seems they don't really think highly of it either...

Nikako
It's not quite that they hate it...right? I'm sure...

Shigure
Right...they said they don't hate it. But that it's bad value...that only a small portion can make money...

Shigure
But Shigure wanted to try being an actor...so I made a promise. If I can't produce results by the time I graduate elementary school, I'll quit being an actor...

Nikako and Daikoku
!?

Shigure
So this Horoscope Season was the perfect chance for Shigure. But Hatsumi-san doesn't seem interested in the World Theatrical League...

Shigure
Shigure is already in fifth grade...there's hardly any chance left to become a Dai Star...

Shigure
At this rate, Shigure will have to...quit being an actor in one more year. I'll have to leave Eden...

Daikoku
...I see...so that's what it was...

Nikako
...

Shigure
I keep wondering what to do, what I should do, I just don't know...if only I could at least persuade Papa and Mama...

Shigure
Because Shigure...still wants to continue being an actor. I want to keep standing on stage in Eden just like this...

Nikako
If that's the case...let's have Shigure-chan's parents come watch an Eden performance!

Shigure
Eh?

Nikako
I mean, Shigure-chan's parents are worried that you might not be able to earn money with theatre
, right?

Nikako
Then let's have them actually come to Eden Hall and learn that lots of customers gather for Eden's performances!

Daikoku
T-That's right! If they're rejecting it because actors can't earn money as a job, you just need to prove there's potential to earn, that's all.

Daikoku
If they actually come to the hall, they'll be able to see things like merchandise sales too...

Shigure
You think so...? But even if I invite them, Papa and Mama are busy, so I don't know if they can come-

Daikoku
If you give up from the start like that...nothing will change!

Nikako
Now now! Dā-chan, calm down...! ...Hmm, but yeah...there is the schedule problem.

Nikako
(Plus, from how Shigure-chan was talking, it'll probably be hard to persuade them without solid proof...or something like that...)

Nikako
(Becoming a Dai Star certainly would be easy to understand proof of being recognized by the World Theatrical League...)

Nikako
Hey, Shigure-chan. If that's the case, maybe you should talk to Ren-san after all.

Nikako
If you tell Ren-san the truth in your own words, I'm sure she'll think about it too.

Nikako
Then maybe she can even create a chance for the World Theatrical League to watch our performance!

Shigure
Tell Hatsumi-san...Shigure's true feelings...

Daikoku
That's probably the only option left. You want to stay here, don't you?

Daikoku
If you convey those feelings, I'm sure my Lord will answer you. My Lord isn't the kind of person who would dismiss your feelings.

Shigure
Nikako-senpai...Daikoku-senpai...
