Judge D
It's Gingaza's performance. We should expect a solid showing.

Judge E
This year, Gingaza showed some sudden changes. How that plays out...will be worth watching.

Judge F
...It's starting.

Ramona
"Understood. If it is for Aphrodite-sama's sake, then I, Chiron, shall surely obtain the golden fleece and present it to you."

Ramona
"...What a terrible thing. I can feel this ram's anguish as if it were my own. No one wants to be the one who's hunted."

Ramona
"Seeing it weeping like that-I cannot draw this bow!"

Judges
!

Audience Member
(A performance that draws you in, makes you empathise before you even realise it...)

Ramona
"Tell me, golden ram. Have you ever heard of Karkinos? A brave crab who valiantly stood against the mighty Heracles."

Ramona
"He possessed a magnificent pair of pincers. He has since been raised up as a shining star in the night sky, but-"

Ramona
"They say that because he became a star, his pincers can now shear fleece cleanly without killing the creature."

Ramona
"If we could borrow Karkinos's pincers, we might be able to obtain the golden fleece without harming you."

Ramona
"Come, let us go find Karkinos!"

Theater Official
(Such a high level of acting, of stage presence. So this is Gingaza...! Even without Senju Koyomi, they can deliver a performance at this level!?)

Judge D
(A stable performance, as in recent years...but the 'colour' is different. The way each individual actor moves.)

Judge E
(With their leader, Ramona Wolf, at the centre, the other actors move around her. As if supporting one another...)

Judge F
...Well now, this is quite interesting.

Xue
"Who are you lot? You want something from me?"

Ramona
"Karkinos, I have a favour to ask. Would you be willing to lend me the pincers you possess?"

Xue
"...Hmm. Sounds like there's a story behind this. That said, these pincers aren't something I can just hand over to anyone."

Xue
"But then again, standing by and watching you slaughter this ram right in front of me doesn't sit well either."

Xue
"So, I'm going to take a little nap. Whatever you do with these pincers while I'm sleeping is your business."

Xue
"Just while I'm napping, though. That's it."

Ramona
"...! Thank you, Karkinos! Now, golden ram...let us shear your fleece."

Judge F
(Ramona Wolf, who serves as their leader...it's not just her acting-she's commanding the entire stage...!)

Judge F
(Could it be that she's aware of every subtle nuance in the other actors' performances as well...!? There's no other explanation!)

Judge E
(From the actors besides Wolf-san too, there was a brilliant light radiating, as if asserting their very existence...what promising young talents they are.)

Judge D
On behalf of the judges, allow me to offer our overall assessment. ...This was Gingaza, through and through.

Judge D
The solid performances built on accumulated tradition were splendid. But with this iteration of Gingaza, there is more that must be recognised.

Judge D
We could sense not just a devotion to tradition, but a pride in striving to be the very best of the current era, unbound by tradition alone.

Ramona
...! Thank you so much!

Koyomi
(That was magnificent, Ramona-san...you've finally done it.)

Koyomi
(Without clinging to tradition, yet without treating it lightly either, you've built a new way to captivate. You showed everyone that alongside me, another star has emerged, shining with a different light.)

Koyomi
(A new star of the galaxy, leading everyone forward...how reassuring. I wonder what kind of future you'll show us from here on-)

Koyomi
...Fufu, I can't wait to find out.
