Lilja
Hikari. How was Xue doing?

Hikari
Xue said it was just a cold, but...she looked really unwell...

Ramona
We don't have rehearsal tomorrow. Maybe we should take her to the hospital, just to be safe.

Hikari
About that, there's something I want you both to hear. Even though Xue looks so ill, she's planning to go to her part time job...

Lilja
Part time job...? She didn't look like she was in any condition to go.

Ramona
Is that true, Hikari?

Hikari
Yeah...I think Xue is worried about how it will affect the money she sends home to her family.

Ramona
It would certainly affect that...but pushing herself won't help her recover either.

Hikari
You're right, Ramo-san. I wonder if there's anything we can do for Xue...

Lilja/Hikari
Hmmm...

Ramona
...It would be fine if the wages go to Xue, right?

Lilja
Ramo, have you thought of something?

Ramona
Yes. If Xue is trying to go to work for the money she sends home, why don't we work in her place as her substitutes!

Lilja
Us...in place of Xue?

Hikari
Ramo-san, brilliant! I'll go ask Xue about it!

Ramona
Wait, wait, Xue has a cold. It would be better to ask by message rather than in person, for her sake too.

Hikari
Ah! Ehehe, you're right. So, I'll send a message to Xue!

Koyomi
Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ramona
I'm sorry, Koyomi. For calling you out so suddenly.

Koyomi
It's quite alright. More importantly, how is Xue feeling after a night's rest?

Hikari
She's still not better. She looked pretty ill.

Koyomi
I see.

Koyomi
Xue-san is busy with her part time jobs in addition to performances. She must have been accumulating fatigue.

Ramona
So, Koyomi, about what I contacted you about yesterday.

Koyomi
About working in Xue-san's place. That was it, wasn't it?

Ramona
Yes, that's right. But are you really okay with it?

Koyomi
What do you mean?

Ramona
To be honest, I didn't think you would cooperate. So, um...

Koyomi
So, um?

Ramona
I'm very moved!!

Koyomi
Huh...?

Ramona
To think the day would come when Koyomi would step up for a comrade...! I'm...I'm just so happy...!

Koyomi
W-well, this is, um, because I caused trouble when I collapsed before, so this time, it's like returning the favour...!

Koyomi
(Besides, she's still keeping my sleep issues a secret. Now is the time to repay that kindness.)

Hikari
Uuu...! I'm sure Xue would be happy to see you like this, Koyomi-san.

Koyomi
Don't talk as if Xue-san has passed away!

Lilja
If Koyomi is lending a hand, I'll lend more.

Koyomi
Why are you reaching for your clothes!? Don't take them off!!!

Ramona
With Koyomi's cooperation, our unity has become even stronger. Now we can overcome any difficulty.

Koyomi
Ramona-san, you're being so grandiose again...

Ramona
I'm not being grandiose at all. I truly am grateful. To Koyomi too, of course.

Koyomi
...

Koyomi
Th-this is just for this one time.

Hikari
Koyomi-san...everyone, thank you so much for helping Xue!

Ramona
Fufu, isn't it only natural? We're troupe mates who have shared the same hot pot!

Ramona
Everyone. Remember the taste of Xue's hot pot.

Hikari
Eee!

Lilja
How pleasant.

Koyomi
(...What is this time we're spending together?)

Ramona
Xue has supported us until now. So this time, let's support Xue.

Ramona
Let's work in Xue's place and let her rest in bed!

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari
"Yes." "That's right." "Yeah!"

Ramona
Everyone, follow me! Gingaza, fiiight...!

Koyomi/Lilja/Hikari
Yeah!!!

Xue
Uugh...who's this from?

Hikari
"Xue, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Xue
It's Hikari... What is it this time...?

Hikari
"Leave the part time job to us! Xue, you just rest!"

Xue
Haah...I'm starting to get worried now. Will it really be okay to leave it to them...?

Xue
I was feeling so bad that I agreed to Hikari's offer, but now I'm beginning to regret it...

Xue
cough cough

Xue
Ah, my head feels fuzzy.

Xue
Enough, I'll think about it tomorrow. Today, I'll sleep...
