Snow Woman (Part 2)

Hatsumi: It's finally the first day of the performance of Snow Woman. Everyone has followed me this far.

Hatsumi: All that remains is to complete the stage as I envisioned it. I look forward to seeing your performance in the show.

Everyone: Yes!

Hatsumi: Anything from Tetra-san?

Tetra: That’s right......then just one thing.

Tetra: The Eden theatre has been quiet until recently. Even during performances, the auditorium was empty......

Tetra: But now we've had quite a few people come back, not a full house, but quite a lot. This is definitely something your stage has won.

Tetra: It's up to this play to make this theatre full again. Get into it and show them your best performance.

Everyone: Yes!

Nikako: Phew~......all I have to do now is put it all into the performance......that's all I can do......

Former Eden Actor: Did you come to get some air before the show?

Nikako: You’re......!

Former Eden Actor: I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage today. I'm sure you'll recognise Renjakuno's true nature.

Former Eden actor: Renjakuno is a woman who won't tolerate any stage other than the one she wants. Her arrogant power to block other people's Senses is proof of this.

Nikako: Could it be......that's Ren-san's Sense......?

Former Eden Actor: Oh? You didn't know that? I hope you don’t get your feet swept out from under you like I did, at least.

Former Eden actor: It's horrible to have your Sense blocked on stage, isn't it?

Nikako: ......If Ren-san thought it was necessary, I’d accept it.

Nikako: That's why I joined the Eden theatre company.

Former Eden actor: Is that so......then you can do whatever you want. I'll just give you an honest evaluation.

Nikako: ......I’ll just do the performance I believe in!

Nikako: Here I go!

Hatsumi: 'Now, you......come here. Because this is what you have chosen......!'

Nikako: 'Father! Mother! Don't go!’

Former Eden Actor: (What is this, this is......not overpowering......! It easily surpasses the old Eden stage......)

Former Eden Actor: (This is what Renjakuno was aiming for......!)

Former Eden Actor: (......W-What of it......! I have a mission to expose the darkness of this theatre company......!)

Nikako: ‘Waaaaah! No! I want to be with you forever, mother!’

Former Eden Actor: (Why......can't I get that newcomer's performance out of my head......! I can't write an evaluation that betrays that performance......!)

Former Eden Actor: This is......the new Eden.......

Hatsumi: Thanks for your hard work, guys! The new Eden theatre company's The Snow Woman, was a great success!

Tetra: The audience was full today, at the end of the finale. The Eden theatre company from back then has come back.

Iruru: The response we got when the play was over was amazing, the online reviews were also very positive.

Daikoku: There's none of......the garbage anti commentary that we used to get......

Shigure: Haha, of course! Shigure's convincing performance was conveyed to the audience ♪

Daikoku: Haah......it's childish of you to take credit for it.......

Shigure: Huuh~? Isn't that the argument of someone who doesn't have confidence in their acting?

Shigure, Daikoku: Gnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Nikako: Both Da-chan and Shigure-chan gave their best performances! That was clear to everyone!

Iruru: It says Nikako's acting was good too. It says: 'Toneri Nikako's pure performance struck a chord with the audience'.

Nikako: Ah, hahaha......it's kind of embarrassing when someone compliments me straight ......

Hatsumi: How do you see this situation, Tetra-san?

Tetra: Of course, there was also the fact that your stage was good. But Nikako was probably a big part of it.

Tetra: Those who were charmed by that child's innocent acting, can only express their true feelings......

Tetra: That's Nikako's Sense, isn't it?

Hatsumi: A Sense of laying bare people’s true feelings rather than letting them deceive......?

Nikako: Hatsumi-san, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?

Hatsumi: No.......

Hatsumi: I was thinking about it again. Our meeting on Aogashima was fate.
