Hatsumi
Act by feeling only the heat of your own soul. Just like you've written in this notebook.

Daikoku
...This is!

Hatsumi
So it was indeed yours. I found it dropped in the rehearsal room.

Daikoku
D-did you look inside!?

Hatsumi
There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I read it and took a liking to it. It's the passionate cry of your soul.

Daikoku
(Even though I only wrote it while watching Panda's videos...?)

Hatsumi
It's fine to keep that hidden in your notebook.

Hatsumi
However, on stage, that will become your radiance.

Daikoku
This will...?

Hatsumi
Yes, think of the stage as your notebook.

Hatsumi
Bare all your hatred on stage.

Daikoku
Bare my hatred...

Hatsumi
Well then...

Hatsumi
I just remembered something I need to do, so I'll take my leave.

Daikoku
Y-yes. Thank you...

Hatsumi
I'm looking forward to your Rapunzel.

Daikoku
.............

Daikoku
(Can I live up to those expectations...?)

Hatsumi
...Oh, that's right. Daikoku, do you have a permanent marker?

Daikoku
Eh?

Daikoku
Ah, a permanent marker, I think I have...ah, here it is!

Daikoku
Here you go...

Hatsumi
Okay, lend me your hand too.

Daikoku
? My hand...?

Hatsumi
Yes, palm facing up... That's it.

Daikoku
"Panda, Sasuga"...?

Hatsumi
Ha ha, isn't it good? Look at "this" and remember your hatred anytime.

Daikoku
By "this"...you mean my soul's cry?

Daikoku
(W-what should I do...it's finally the actual performance. No, it's okay, calm down...)

Iruru
Ah...Daikoku, your face is really tense.

Iruru
Relax, relax.

Iruru
It can't be helped since it's your first performance and you're the lead~.

Shigure
Haah~. This is so annoying. I can't believe I have to stand on the same stage as such a hack actor.

Shigure
You didn't even act properly in the last rehearsal, did you?

Shigure
If Eden's reputation goes down, it's Daikoku-senpai's fault, you know~?

Daikoku
...!

Daikoku
That's enough! Calling me a hack actor over and over!

Shigure
...Hmph, what's wrong with that~?

Shigure
Don't lash out just because I hit a nerve.

Daikoku
Ugh, that insolent mouth, right now-

Hatsumi
Fufufu. I like that from both of you. Please show me that ugly, miserable argument on stage too!

Daikoku
Ugh...

Shigure
Ugh...

Hatsumi
I'm looking forward to seeing how the audience receives it.

Hatsumi
Look, over there. Those are your judges, who will watch your performance.

Daikoku
(...Still not many people. If it were Sirius, surely there would be more...)

Daikoku
(No, since someone like me is the lead, maybe even at Sirius it wouldn't have been different...but...)

Daikoku
...!

Daikoku
That's...!

Panda
Wow, I'm excited~. I wonder what kind of performance it will be!

Chisa
A stage recommended by Boss...I'm excited.

Daikoku
(Panda and Sasuga...!)

Daikoku
Why are those two here...!?

Hatsumi
You noticed? I pulled some strings. I invited them.

Daikoku
W-why...

Daikoku
Writing their names on my hand was enough...!

Hatsumi
Ha ha ha! Was it?

Daikoku
(Is Hatsumi-san teasing me...)

Hatsumi
Don't make that face. Come on, it's almost curtain time. Go and spread your hatred to your heart's content!

Daikoku
(Hatred...that's right. Now that I've come this far, I have no choice but to do it.)

Daikoku
(Watch me... I'll show you that I can act more perfectly than you both...!)
