A Big Step

Hiiragi: ......I told you to make an appointment before you come to visit, didn't I?

Hatsumi: I told you that that’s boring and uninspiring, didn't I?

Hiiragi: Haah......I have no intention of arguing. I'll decline any invitations to dinner today.

Hatsumi: I heard you're also preparing for a performance. I won't do anything to get in the way.

Hatsumi: I just came to deliver a present today. You'll accept it, right?

Hiiragi: Is this......the script for ‘The Demon’s Friend’?

Hatsumi: I thought you might need it.

Hiiragi: Did you hear about Panda's request? I was planning to go and get official permission next time, but......

Hatsumi: It seems the demon’s charm has already reached Sirius.

Hiiragi: It’s worth saying. Your stage......was good.

Hatsumi: Heh heh...... I've been waiting to hear those words.

Hatsumi: It's Sirius' turn next. I can't wait to see how your demon will shine.

Hiiragi: Well...... I hope we can live up to your expectations.

Hatsumi: You definitely will. Because Sirius has you here.

Hiiragi: ......What a sly woman. I’ll give you the performance you want, a stage that that surpasses Eden's.

Hatsumi: Interesting. I can't wait for the moment when I'm captivated by you.

Hatsumi: When the performance starts, everyone in Eden will go see it. I'm looking forward to it.

Hiiragi: It's frustrating...... I was totally persuaded.

Panda: Karasu! I saw ‘The Demon’s Friend’!

Panda: Your acting was amazing!

Daikoku: What's with that condescending attitude...... Are you trying to lecture me?

Panda: Why did you say that...... I thought it was genuinely amazing!

Panda: It was the first time I'd seen Karasu act like that.

Chisa: Karasu was right in the prime of youth. There was a lot of heartbreak, wasn't there?

Daikoku: (I don't really get what you're saying......)

Classmate A: I know what you're saying, Sasuga-chan! When I was watching Daikoku-chan's performance, my heart just swelled!

Classmate B: Yeah, yeah! Friendship stories like that are the best, aren't they?

Daikoku: Ah...... Thank you......

Panda: Hey hey! You thanked everyone properly, but not Panda and Sassu!?

Daikoku: Of course...... If you think I'll open up to you just because of this, you're completely wrong......

Panda: Did Panda really do something to make you hate her that much......?

Daikoku: Hmph!

Daikoku: My Lord, listen to me! That Panda is messing with me again......!

Hatsumi: Hahaha, you two are still as close as ever!

Daikoku: No, it's not that...... Ah! Wait a minute, my Lord!

Tetra: Daikoku, you've gained a bit of dignity, haven't you?

Shigure: Eh? Isn't it the same as usual? She's still as clingy as ever with Hatsumi.

Iruru: No~, she has actually changed a lot since then, hasnʼt she? Now she follows Hatsumi with her own will.

Nikako: That's right! Da-chan looks like she’s in good spirits!

Shigure: Is that so? Shigure isn’t so sure.

Tetra: Hahaha, Eden looks like it's going to get even more interesting!
