Hatsumi
-That's all from me. Does anyone else have anything they want to check?

Shigure
Nothing here.

Iruru
I'm fine too.

Hatsumi
Tetra-san?

Tetra
Nothing from me either. Now that the "Salome" performance is over, it's a good time to take it easy. Everyone should rest their bodies.

Hatsumi
Then I'll end today's meeting.

Iruru
Hmm...

Nikako
Irurun. What are you looking at?

Iruru
Hm? The reviews for "Salome." I'm a bit scared to look, though...

Iruru
Whoa, as expected, opinions are divided.

Nikako
Ah... Maybe that's because of me...?

Tetra
Fufu, it's certainly possible that thanks to Nikako's Sense, the audience is writing their honest opinions.

Iruru
It's not your fault, Nikako. After all, we ended up changing the cast again for the final performance.

Shigure
And there was no detailed explanation about it. It's natural for people to be upset.

Nikako
But some people are giving it high ratings too. So many people are supporting us.

Daikoku
How unusual for you to check reviews like this, Iruru-san. You're acting like Panda.

Iruru
Well, I'm kind of the one who asked for the cast change in the final performance...? I need to be more careful in future, so this is a reminder to myself.

Shigure
I don't think this is a problem that Iruru-senpai can fix by herself...

Hatsumi
There's no need to worry about such trivial matters. The audience isn't God, after all.

Daikoku
M-my Lord...!

Hatsumi
We just need to stay true to the expression we believe is right. If we do that, the audience will naturally follow.

Iruru
That's so like you, Hatsumi...

Iruru
But when thinking about the future, we can't just say that, can we?

Daikoku
The future?

Shigure
Speaking of which, have you made plans for the next performance?

Hatsumi
I'm thinking about it.

Iruru
How does it work with the budget? "The Devil's Friend" and "Salome" were both quite large scale productions.

Daikoku
Budget...

Tetra
Fufu, has that been a distant concept for you, Daikoku? Honestly, Eden's financial situation itself can't be called good.

Daikoku
Yes...I haven't really thought about that much until now...

Hatsumi
Well, that's fine for actors. I don't think too deeply about it either.

Iruru
Well, it's mostly me who does the administrative work and crunches numbers...

Nikako
"The Devil's Friend" and "Salome" brought in lots of audience members, though...

Tetra
We could continue with small scale, manageable productions. But that would be a kind of constraint.

Hatsumi
It might be fun to travel far like before and put on shows in a mobile tent, but that also costs money for transportation and expedition expenses.

Nikako
I see... If we were to perform on Aogashima, we'd have to cross the sea.

Hatsumi
That island was a wonderful place. I personally would like to take on that challenge.

Hatsumi
Performing unique plays that capture the hearts of all who see them, in various locations. If we leave Tokyo, there are surely places where theatre isn't widespread.

Nikako
Maybe so.

Tetra
Well, that's quite romantic thinking.

Iruru
Then how about doing revivals to attract more audience members and raise funds? We don't need to do completely new productions every time.

Shigure
I'd be fine with doing "The Devil's Friend" again.

Hatsumi
You don't need to worry about that. Regarding funds, I'll manage somehow if necessary.

Tetra
You were being eagerly courted by Olympus scouts before. Will you bring in patrons or sponsors?

Daikoku
Patrons...

Shigure
It's true that Hatsumi-san's fans are either fanatical devotees or critics. They might lend their support?

Iruru
But if that happens, you can't just brush them off. Though I can't imagine Hatsumi listening to what other people say...

Nikako
That's true...

Hatsumi
Well, in any case, this isn't a problem for you all to worry about. Leave it to me.

Iruru
If you say so, I understand.

Daikoku
...
