To the Galaxy

Xue: .......

Ramona: ......No good, I can't connect. Any word from Iroha?

Lilja: Just that they’re doing tests at the hospital. She doesn’t seem to know any details.

Hikari: I didn't notice Koyomi-san's condition at all......

Ramona: It's my fault for not seeing through the fatigue. If only I’d realised that I was pushing her too hard......

Hikari: Nothing from you, Xue? I thought you were training together!?

Xue: There's nothing to be done, calm down. Think ahead.

Hikari: What do you mean ahead......?

Xue: The show is in three days. We should find an understudy.

Ramona: An understudy? You should be worried about Koyomi's health first!

Hikari: Whoa! Calm down, Ramo-san!

Lilja: You’re being too loud, stop it. Fighting is just ugly.

Ramona: I know, but there are things you can and can't say! You're trampling all over Koyomi's efforts!

Xue: I am the Chairperson and we are professionals. I say prepare for the worst.

Ramona: But-!

Koyomi: You don't need an understudy. I will play Campanella.

Hikari: Koyomi-san! Are you okay!?

Koyomi: I’m fine, Iroha-san is exaggerating. I just fell because I was dizzy.

Ramona: You really did see a doctor, didn't you?

Koyomi: I wouldn't lie to you......

Koyomi: I just got the dosage of the medicine a little wrong.

Koyomi: I have also received confirmation that it will not affect the stage.

Ramona: Don't tell me there's something wrong with you-

Koyomi: I just overdosed on cold medicine in my sleep! I'm embarrassed, so this is the end of this story!

Xue: .......

Koyomi: Anyhow, there are only 3 days left until the show! Rehearsal is our priority!

Hikari: W-What are you going to do? Xue.......

Xue: No problem. Koyomi-san continues as Campanella. I'll talk to the director about it.

Ramona: Hey Xue, do you realize the gravity of the situation?

Xue: Shut up Germany, don't challenge the Chairperson. And Koyomi-san, I need to talk to you later.

Xue: You came, Koyomi-san. No, Campanella.

Koyomi: Campanella…… Is it an etude to be together?

Xue: If I wasn’t the Chairperson, I wouldn't do something like this. It’s special, so let's go.

Koyomi: I see.......?

Koyomi: Are we allowed to enter without permission? I thought you said it was off-limits to everyone not connected.

Xue: I had a part-time job in this building. In other words, I'm a related person.

Koyomi: It's a gray area that's very close to black, isn't it?

Xue: Just look at the view. Here is, you know.......

Xue: ......I'm only going to say it once, don't miss it.

Xue: This is......Galaxy Station. It is the departure and arrival station of the Galaxy Express.

Koyomi: ......The night sky in the city centre, the lights of the terminal station below. I see, you're trying to make it look like this.

Xue: This pipe chair is a seat. The fence to prevent falls is a window. We are in the train that takes off into the night sky.

Xue: It's just the two of us. No one is eavesdropping. You already know what I'm going to say.

Koyomi: .......

Xue: Are there only stubborn guys in Gingaza......!?

Xue: Alright, I'll show you an example!

Xue: Actually, I...... like stuffed animals!

Xue: I don't just like them. I give them names and I love them. I can't relax without them.

Xue: ......Now it's your turn to confess your secret. Let's hear the truth.

Koyomi: You like stuffed animals, huh. Is that the big secret that you want to keep......?

Xue: A secret is a secret! I told you! Let's talk about that lie you told earlier!

Koyomi: It's not a lie.

Koyomi: I just took too much cold medicine.

Xue: Why did you think I was talking about medicine when I asked you if you were lying?

Koyomi: ......!

Xue: It didn't feel right.

Xue: But now, I'm sure of it.

Xue: All I said was ‘a lie’. It wasn’t necessarily about cold medicine.

Xue: The game is already up, Koyomi-san.

Koyomi: .......

Xue: I can't miss this stage. I'm sure you feel the same way. That's why......I can't have you falling any further.

Xue: Tell me the truth! I'm saying I'm here to help you!

Xue: You can't count on me!? Giovanni, the Chairperson of the stage and Campanella's best friend!

Xue: Why did you tell such a stupid lie!?

Xue: Are you sick......!?
