Farewell, My Dear......

Director: Next performance of The Long Goodbye, starring as Philip Marlowe......

Director: Ramona Wolf.

Ramona: Yes.

Director: Then Terry Lennox for Wang Xue.

Xue: Yes.

Director: Roger Wade is-

Hikari: Ramo-san, congratulations on your starring role!

Hikari: Philip Marlowe, the lead role, is a private detective, right?

Ramona: Yeah. He's the original hard-boiled detective.

Hikari: Hardboiled......!

Hikari: Sounds cool! Perfect for Ramo-san!

Ramona: Haha. I'll do my best to fufill that.

Ramona: Was Hikari Menendez?　

Hikari: That’s right!

Hikari: I've never been in a gang before, so I'm nervous~!

Lilja: Koyomi and I are a couple, looking forward to it.

Koyomi: We are not a very peaceful couple, though.

Lilja: Therefore, I’m looking forward to it.

Ramona: Well, Lilja's Irene is going to be worth watching. And it's a role that has a lot to do with Lennox, who Xue is playing.

Lilja: Heh heh, Xue or Koyomi, which one should I choose?

Hikari: Ah, an evil woman......!

Hikari: Oh, come to think of it, Xue is…...

Xue: Germany, you’ve got a package.

Xue: Hey, move, Hikari.

Ramona: A package?

Hikari: What, what!? From where!?

Hikari: Wow, it's written in English~ .......

Ramona: No, this is German, not English. It looks like it's from an old theatre friend.

Hikari: So, a fellow theatre troupe member from Germany? I wonder what it is?　......Oh! I guess it's a Christmas present!

Koyomi: It seems a little early for that......

Lilja: You always write letters to your friends in Germany, is it a reply?

Xue: Or did you ask for a package from back home? Winter clothes, cold wather gear and so on.

Hikari: Ah! Maybe a birthday present or something!

Lilja: Is it your birthday? Ramo.

Ramona: No, I was born in May.

Hikari: Then that’s wrong then. I wonder what it is?

Koyomi: It's addressed to Ramona-san, I don't want everyone to pry too much.......

Ramona: I don't mind.

Ramona: I don't think it would be a problem for people to see it, so I thought I'd open it.

Koyomi: This is-

Xue: Bread and a box?

Ramona: It's not bread, it's stollen. It's a traditional German pastry eaten from around now until Christmas.

Hikari: A pastry! Looks delicious with lots of powdered sugar!

Koyomi: Hikari-san, it belongs to Ramona-san, don't lean in too far......

Ramona: Don't worry about it, Koyomi. It's a good opportunity, let's all eat together later.

Hikari: Yay!

Lilja: So, what about this box? It's so light.

Ramona: Let's open it.

Xue: What's up with that, it's empty.

Ramona: No, there's a note in it. Uh-

Ramona: “I kept borrowing it, so I'll pay it back”?

Lilja: Ramo, you lent out an empty box?

Ramona: No.

Koyomi: Then the stollen?

Ramona: I don't remember lending anyone a stollen.

Hikari: Then what is it?

Ramona: Hmmm....... I don't see anything else in there......

Xue: Remember to keep your lending and borrowing in order, Germany. Especially if you are lending money, interest is not something to be foolish about.

Koyomi: Even if it's not cash, it's a little creepy to get something back that you don't remember lending.

Lilja: It's also weird that the returned items themselves aren't included.

Ramona: That’s true.......

Hikari: Sorry....... It smelled so good the whole time, it made my stomach rumble......

Ramona: Haha, you're right.

Ramona: I'm hungry, let's just eat anyway.

Hikari: Yay! I'll go get a plate!
