Daikoku
I said that's enough, you brat!!
Shigure
B-brat...?
Daikoku
I'm talking about you, you insolent brat!
Shigure
Don't suddenly bark at me~. You're just a hack actor who can't act better than a brat, yet you're being so arrogant!
Daikoku
...Indeed, I'm still a hack actor.
Daikoku
I understand that better than anyone...
Shigure
Hmph, then you should stay out of the way.
Daikoku
But you know...my master praised someone like me...
Daikoku
She had expectations for me...
Daikoku
And you denied her judgment...!
Shigure
Huh...? What's that supposed to be? It's almost like you're angry because Hatsumi-san was spoken badly of-
Daikoku
Yes, exactly.
Shigure
Huh?
Daikoku
When my master is insulted, it's only natural to be angry, isn't it?
Shigure
T-this doesn't make any sense...!?
Daikoku
I don't expect you to understand. But remember this. If you do the same thing to my master again...
Daikoku
I will never forgive you.
Shigure
Eek!
Shigure
P-people who are all talk always say things like that~. In the end, you can't do anything~!
Daikoku
...I won't be just talk. I will definitely become an actor who can live up to my master's expectations.
Daikoku
I won't let anyone say that my master's judgment was wrong!
Daikoku
And that includes you!
Shigure
Ugh, uuu...!
Iruru
Wow...even Shigure finally has nothing to say back...I just noticed even the troupe members around us are intimidated...
Hatsumi
Fufu, isn't this just right? Those who underestimated Daikoku will be completely silenced now.
Hatsumi
On stage too, she exploded with such anger and resentment. The strength of Daikoku's feelings should be obvious to all.
Iruru
...Do you realise those feelings are directed at you?
Hatsumi
Yeah, of course. I must respond in kind.
Iruru
Well, it's just like you to say that~.
Iruru
But still, the fun atmosphere of the after party has completely disappeared... I wonder if this can be fixed somehow...
Tetra
...What's with this chilly atmosphere? It feels like a funeral in here.
Tetra
I went through the trouble of bringing some food to cheer you up, was it for nothing?
Iruru
No, no, Tetra-san, perfect timing! Hey everyone! Extra food has arrived, so eat as much as you want!
Hatsumi
Tetra-san, I'm glad you came. I should thank Iruru later for smoothing things over.
Tetra
Don't give this old woman too many scares.
Tetra
...Did that newcomer do something?
Hatsumi
She didn't do anything worth blaming. She was just getting angry on my behalf.
Tetra
Ha ha, for your sake? Looks like another outrageous person has joined.
Hatsumi
Fufu, doesn't it seem like it's going to be fun?
Daikoku
My master is smiling so happily...! Ah, it's as if the whole world is being filled with happiness...!
Shigure
That world probably only has Daikoku-senpai in it, doesn't it~?
Daikoku
This feeling is something a brat like you wouldn't understand.
Shigure
I don't want to understand it~!
Iruru
Ahaha... Over here, it's like they say-after the rain, the ground hardens~.
