Yae
Would you indulge me for a bit?

Shizuka
Eh...?

Yae
As actors who will stand on the same stage, I'd like to practice synchronising our rhythm.

Shizuka
But why are you using lines from "The Demon's Friend"...?

Yae
...I wanted to perform it too. That stage, together with you, Shizuka-san.

Shizuka
Yae-chan...

Yae
Of course, I won't force you. This is just my selfish wish.

Shizuka
.........

Shizuka
(Yae-chan...with me... A Dai Star said she wanted to perform with me...)

Shizuka
(Then...as an actor, I can't refuse to respond...!)

Shizuka
.........

Shizuka
I'm tired of waiting.

Yae
(The Asmodeus performance I saw that day... Thank you, Shizuka-san...!)

Shizuka
Hah...hah...I only meant to perform one scene, but...

Yae
We got completely immersed in "The Demon's Friend." It truly is a wonderful production.

Yae
Shizuka-san, thank you very much. It was a really enjoyable time.

Yae
Because you adapted to my Hiyori, I was able to act freely.

Shizuka
I'm happy to hear you say that, but from my perspective, I was just barely keeping up with you, Yae-chan...

Shizuka
But...that's precisely why I felt like I could go all out. It felt amazing...!

Yae
If that's how you feel, then I'm glad too.

Shizuka
Fufu...I hope we can do this well in the actual Peter Pan performance too.

Yae
Is this level enough?

Shizuka
Huh...?

Yae
Shizuka-san should be capable of much, much better acting.

Yae
Your performance with Kokona-san in "The Demon's Friend"... After seeing that, I especially think so.

Shizuka
My acting...can still grow more...?

Shizuka
(...Acting with Kokona is fun. Our rhythm naturally matches perfectly, and I can get more and more immersed in the performance.)

Shizuka
(But acting with Yae-chan is completely different. Through competition, it's like she draws out more than my actual ability...)

Shizuka
(For me, I surely need both...!)

Yae
...So don't hold back. I'll accept all of Shizuka-san's serious acting.

Shizuka
If Yae-chan says so...

Shizuka
Then I can't be hesitant...!

Yae
Eh?

Shizuka
Yae-chan, may I shake your hand?

Yae
A handshake? I don't mind, but...

Shizuka
Then, without hesitation.

Shizuka
Once again, I'm truly happy to be standing on the same stage as Yae-chan.

Shizuka
As members of Sirius...let's do our best from now on.

Yae
Yes. Starting with Peter Pan.

Shizuka
Fufu. I'm counting on you.
