"Oedipus Rex"...was amazing...! This feeling of happiness from having seen a great play is incredible...!

Shizuka
Yes... I'm really glad we came to see it right away. I'm grateful that Panda and the others invited us.

Panda
Since Karasu was in it, I thought we should go see it early. Well, that was definitely the right decision!

Kathrina
"Oedipus Rex" is such a famous play, I was curious how Eden would adapt it...

Kathrina
I never expected them to make human love the main theme. Honestly, I thought they'd make it more tragic...

Yae
Yes...the bond between Oedipus and Jocasta was lovely. Their farewell scene made me cry so much...

Chisa
Everyone in the audience was crying. Even I was moved to tears.

Panda
Seriously!? Sassu cried!?

Chisa
Something like that is naturally heartbreaking.

Panda
A tragedy that made Sassu cry... That alone feels like quite an impact...

Kathrina
The reception has been amazing, from what I hear. It's being praised by critics and review sites too.

Shizuka
When the play was first announced, they were full of criticism. It's impressive how quickly they turned that around.

Panda
Putting the two leads from "The Demon's Friend" in supporting roles, even I honestly questioned that~

Panda
But now critics are completely changing their tune, saying they made their presence felt even as supporting actors.

Yae
After seeing such passionate performances, that's only natural. Shigure-chan and Karasumori-san gave wonderful performances again.

Kokona
All the actors working towards the same goal...

Kokona
Eden is a wonderful theatre troupe, isn't it?

Hatsumi
All of you did well in today's performance.

Iruru
So tired~... I gave it my all~...

Nikako
Irurun is completely exhausted... You were really giving it your all...

Shigure
Hey, are you alright? The performance period still has a while to go, you know?

Iruru
I'll be fine~... Just need a bit of rest, and I'll be back to normal~

Shigure
Are you sure? Well, if you can't manage it...Shigure could take over for you!

Iruru
That joke hurts too much, please stop~...

Daikoku
Don't say such disrespectful things to Iruru-san...!

Daikoku
Kids with too much energy are just...

Shigure
Don't treat me like a child! Shigure trains hard! Unlike Daikoku-senpai with her pathetic stamina!

Daikoku
P-pathetic, you say...!

Hatsumi
If you have energy to fight, save it for the next performance. Show me you can put everything into the stage like Iruru did.

Daikoku
I-I'm sorry...

Shigure
Hmph, I know that.

Hatsumi
...Tickets for the next performance are already sold out. That's how many people are coming to see Eden's stage.

Hatsumi
Keep that firmly in mind.

Iruru/Nikako/Shigure/Daikoku
Yes!

Tetra
(To know Eden's stage is to know the actor Renjakuno Hatsumi.)

Tetra
(As Eden continues to grow and its reputation expands... The shackles on Hatsumi will also become heavier.)

Tetra
(What she's built herself will increasingly bind her...)

Tetra
(How far she can maintain her motto in such circumstances... I feel like Eden's future depends on that.)

Hatsumi
Hm? What is it, Tetra-san? Are you admiring my face?

Tetra
Heh...as long as you can make jokes like that, you'll be fine.

Tetra
...The hard part starts now, Hatsumi. Do your best.

Hatsumi
Yes, I know that without being told.
