With the Person Who Freed Me From My Chains (Part 2)

Iruru
Order whatever you like. It's my treat today.

Daikoku
That's...I feel bad...

Iruru
It's fine, it's fine! I'm the one who invited you.

Daikoku
...Why are you doing so much for me...? Did I do something for you, Iruru-san...?

Iruru
Ah...so you really aren't aware... I should probably explain first...

Iruru
I wanted to thank you today. To Daikoku, who pushed my back.

Daikoku
What do you mean...?

Iruru
The reason I could become the lead Salome...is thanks to you.

Daikoku
...

Daikoku
You're envious of being able to get passionate, because you actually want to do that too, right...?

Iruru
I don't want to give up yet...?

Iruru
I...

Iruru
That day when I was hesitating and wavering, after learning about your feelings and getting that push from you, I was able to talk to Hatsumi.

Iruru
I was able to direct my passion...my feelings...towards Hatsumi. The result of that is who I am now.

Iruru
So I really wanted to thank Daikoku for that.

Iruru
Thank you for facing me head on that time.

Daikoku
...

Iruru
Daikoku...?

Daikoku
Ah...so that's what it was...!

Daikoku
Iruru-san was also saved by my Lord's magnanimity...!

Daikoku
My Lord, who embraced Iruru-san's passion as it was and thought to nurture it...truly goddess like kindness...!

Iruru
Ah, no...right now I'm thanking Daikoku, not Hatsumi...?

Daikoku
But to receive such favour from my Lord...

Daikoku
Is Iruru-san truly a special existence to her...?

Daikoku
If that's the case...I...might not be able to suppress the flames of jealousy burning in my chest...!

Iruru
Th-that's scary...

Daikoku
F-fufu...it's a joke...

Iruru
A-ahaha...I'll take it as that...

Iruru
W-well, let's get back on track and order what you want to eat!

Daikoku
Right...everything looks so delicious, I can't decide...

Iruru
For me, I'd recommend the anmitsu.

Daikoku
The sweet red bean soup looks delicious too...this fruit shiratama looks like something Nikkachi would enjoy...

Iruru
Ah, that's right. Since she held back today, maybe I'll recommend it when I invite her next time.

Daikoku
Right. I'll tell my Lord and Nikkachi.

Iruru
I'd like you to include Shigure in that too...

Daikoku
I'd like to ignore that cheeky brat, but...if the lead says so, I suppose it can't be helped...

Iruru
Ugh...being called the lead still makes me tense up...

Daikoku
I was just stating a fact...

Iruru
That's true, but I'm still not used to it...it's quite difficult.

Daikoku
That's so like you, Iruru-san...

Daikoku
(Well then, just in my heart at the end...I'm looking forward to seeing you shine as the lead...)
