Tetra
Sorry, Daikoku. For stopping you when you're tired after rehearsal.

Daikoku
No... The "Salome" performance just ended, and today's rehearsal was pretty light.

Daikoku
More importantly, what did you want to talk about? Did I maybe do something rude...?

Tetra
Why would you think that...? Am I really that scary to you?

Daikoku
Absolutely...! You're someone my Lord considers an equal or better.

Tetra
I don't mind being thought of that way...but personally, I'd like everyone to be more casual with me.

Daikoku
Yes...

Daikoku
But if you say that... Don't you talk with my Lord a lot?

Tetra
That one's out of the ordinary in many ways. When I talk with her, it doesn't feel like I'm dealing with someone younger.

Daikoku
That's right...! My Lord is amazing...!

Daikoku
Ah... To make even you say such things...! I feel my Lord's unfathomable greatness...!

Tetra
I meant it sarcastically.

Tetra
Speaking of which, this is a good chance. Daikoku, let me properly thank you.

Daikoku
Huh...?

Tetra
I'm grateful that you took over for Iruru in "Salome". Thanks to you, we were able to continue that performance.

Daikoku
N-no... I didn't do anything worth praising.

Daikoku
I was simply following my Lord's orders...

Tetra
Being suddenly assigned a different role is already quite a burden, but this time you took on the lead in place of Iruru?

Tetra
And in a performance directed by Hatsumi herself. The burden on you must have been huge.

Tetra
...Wasn't it tough?

Daikoku
No...not really.

Tetra
Huh...?

Daikoku
I was able to use Iruru-san's performance as a model... It was hard, but I wouldn't say it was tough...

Tetra
Do you really think that...?

Daikoku
What my Lord commands is absolute to me... Completing it fully is only natural.

Tetra
.........

Daikoku
Tetra-san...?

Tetra
Ah, sorry... I was just a bit surprised.

Tetra
Do you realise you did something incredible?

Daikoku
Is...that so...?

Daikoku
But I...think Iruru-san performed Salome better in the final version.

Tetra
Yeah...I think so too. But you're the one who carried the role until then.

Tetra
The Salome performed by you was definitely brilliant. You should be more proud of that.

Daikoku
...Thank you.

Tetra
That reminds me. Why not use this crazy request as leverage to make some selfish demands of Hatsumi?

Tetra
She might surprisingly do anything you ask.

Daikoku
M-make a request...to my Lord...!?
