Tetra
You did well, all of you. I saw it clearly. What Hatsumi-

Hatsumi
No, Tetra-san. That's not quite right.

Tetra
...Hah. You're right. It was the finest stage all of you built together.

Nikako
...Yes!!! Thank you so much, Tetra-san!!! We did it, Shigure-chan!!!

Shigure
Haah...haah...yes...

Hatsumi
This is only the end of opening night. It's too early to celebrate. But...

Hatsumi
We should properly acknowledge all the hard work up to today. Everyone, thank you for your efforts. And...thank you.

Nikako
~...! Thank you so much!

Nikako
Because Ren-san and Irurun supported me, and Shigure-chan and Da-chan pulled me along...!

Nikako
I truly believe we were able to pull off opening night!

Iruru
Supporting and being supported go both ways, you know. Your Blue-Haired Duke was great.

Nikako
Thank you so much, Irurun! Your previous wife role was amazing too!!

Iruru
Well, having the best ghost role right next to me helped a lot. Just saying...heh heh.

Daikoku
...I simply did my best to bring out the maximum potential of the script my Lord created...

Shigure
Why are you getting all shy? You should just be honest about it.

Shigure
You were lecturing Shigure about "being honest" the other day, but look at you now. You're not being honest at all!

Daikoku
Ugh, shut up! Kids should keep quiet!

Shigure
...Heh heh♪

Shigure
(If Eden wins the Prometheus Award with this performance, surely Mama and Papa will finally recognise Shigure...!)

Shigure
(But it's not over yet. Shigure is going to keep acting from now on.)

Shigure
(That's why...I'm going to make every remaining performance the best show there is!)

Hibari
...Yes. An unexpected treasure. It was worth coming to see after all.

Hibari
Eden, showing a new path...I think they've grown into quite an interesting troupe.

Hibari
I wish everyone could see them. Or rather-

Hibari
(The opportunity will come eventually, I'm sure. As long as Eden continues to grow, in whatever form...)

Hibari
Then, if you'll excuse me.

Hibari
(In any case, this troupe won't end up being one that merely threw away chances out of spite for authority.)

Hibari
(Not just the proud, solitary genius Renjakuno Hatsumi. I saw the brilliance of many stars.)

Hibari
I do hope they shine even brighter from here on...heh heh.

Shigure
I'm home!

Shigure's Mother
Welcome home, Shigure.

Shigure's Father
You're a bit late today.

Shigure
Oh...Papa, you're early today, aren't you?

Shigure's Father
The business negotiations went more smoothly than expected.

Shigure
(He looks happier than usual somehow...did work go well for him?)

Shigure's Father
It's thanks to you, Shigure.

Shigure
...Huh?

Shigure's Father
Apparently one of my business partners is a fan of your troupe. He took me to see your performance.

Shigure's Mother
Papa told me about it. Your performance was praised very highly by that person.

Shigure
...P-Papa came to see it too...!?

Shigure's Father
Yes. To be honest, as an amateur, I'm not sure I can properly judge good acting or bad acting...

Shigure's Father
But even so, something was communicated to me. The intensity of an actor's performance reaching out to the audience, as it were.

Shigure's Mother
The theatre was packed with people, and everyone was applauding, I heard. And apparently lots of programs sold at the concession stand.

Shigure's Mother
Honestly, we were surprised. Mama and Papa didn't really know anything about the world of acting until now.

Shigure
...!

Shigure
(I have to tell them. If I'm going to say it, it has to be now...! I have to say it properly...Shigure's feelings!)

Shigure
Um...Papa, Mama. Shigure...wants to keep doing theatre. Even after graduating elementary school.

Shigure's Father
Shigure...

Shigure
See, we applied to this really big award with the troupe. It might take a while to see results, but...the day will come when we're recognised. I know it will.

Shigure
I...love acting. More than anything, I love Eden.

Shigure
I'll keep studying at school properly. I'll think seriously about my future and listen to what you and Mama have to say.

Shigure
So...please, even after I graduate elementary school, let me be an actor forever! Please!
