Gingaza Chapter 1 Episode 20: To a New Galaxy

Hikari: Now, we’re having a party to celebrate the successful conclusion of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter!

Ramona, Hikari, Xue: Thank you for your hard work!

Koyomi: .......

Lilja: Huh? There is an unusual person.

Koyomi: I just thought it would be nice to get out once in a while.

Ramona: This is the story of my persistence in not giving up and continuing to ask her out.

Ramona: How's that? This is the Gingaza tradition, the friendship hotpot party.

Koyomi: Could you please not make up traditions on your own?

Koyomi: In the first place, we actors have limited time.

Koyomi: We don't have time to poke the pot. You know that, don't you?

Ramona: Of course I do. I want to spend that limited time with my friends. I believe that's the way to create a great stage.

Xue: Hey you, don't talk so leisurely! Why am I in charge of cooking!?

Lilja: Xue, it's not spicy enough. Aim for the spiciness of ghost pepper.

Hikari: Wow! The hotpot is red! It's magma, isn't it!?

Hikari: The steam is so dry it's painful!

Lilja: It's such a delicious dish......

Ramona: It's a scene that would have been unthinkable not so long ago.

Koyomi: ......Now I understand what you were talking about, a little. That it's not a story without a bond, an expression of the bond that we make.

Ramona: Yeah, some things you can only see when you have a deep relationship. Well, that's what I picked up from my parents.

Koyomi: Is that why you prioritise friendships?

Ramona: That’s a side thing. My aim is to enjoy the play.

Ramona: I'm willing to go to any lengths to enjoy the play. Even if I have to pay the bills, even if I have to go naked.

Ramona: Hey, let me ask you something, Koyomi. Did you enjoy the play?

Koyomi: ......Heh heh. What do you think?

Koyomi: Maybe I haven't enjoyed it yet.

Ramona: That's harsh. Well, then, you'll just have to enjoy it from now on. Fortunately, a new programme will be announced tomorrow.

Koyomi: Yes, I hope you'll get the chance to perform with us. Wolf......no, Ramona-san.

Xue: Sorry, but I’m taking the lead role next time. I’m going to eat Hikari alive.

Hikari: I-It's better for everyone to get along with each other! You think so too, right Lilja?

Lilja: panting sounds

Ramona: Everyone is motivated, that's great!

Ramona: But the spotlight will be on-

Koyomi: No, I'll be the star next time.

Koyomi: Make no mistake. Hmm...

Koyomi: I'm home.

Iroha: You're back late, onee-chan. Don't tell me you were having a friendly launch with everyone?

Koyomi: Yes, that's right.

Iroha: There's no way that could be it, right?

Iroha: -Wait, what did you say!?

Koyomi: I-Is it really that surprising?

Koyomi: There are times like that.

Iroha: I can't believe that my sister was having a party with her co-stars......

Iroha: Did you have fun?

Koyomi: Well......it feels like a bit of a weight has been lifted off my shoulders......

Iroha: Heh?

Koyomi: ......What's with that strange smile?

Koyomi: If you have something to say, then just say it will you!?

Iroha: No, it’s nothing. I'm just a little relieved.

Iroha: Heh heh......

Koyomi: Honestly......

Ramona: (Sorry for the delay in writing to you. Life in Japan has been harder than I imagined)

Ramona: (But if you take action, the path will naturally open up. I will be able to make it in this country in the future.)

Ramona: (That’s right. Rehearsals will begin again tomorrow. By the way, the next performance is-)

Ramona: (No, let's keep it a secret. It's more fun that way. I'll send you tickets for the performance. Look forward to it.)

Ramona: (From far away in the Far East, I wish you all the best in Hamburg. From Ramona Wolf.)
