Gingaza Chapter 1 Episode 3: Distant Stars

Ramona: Mm. This soba is a hit. I'd like to share this feeling with someone, though.

Ramona: ......In the end, Wang Xue's advice was right after all. The troupe members here didn't even greet me when we made eye contact.

Ramona: At this rate, friendly competition is just a dream. I want friends who can give me good inspiration.......

Rinko: Well, I can give you seven spice chillies.

Ramona: You are......?

Rinko: I'm Fukushi Rinko, from Aomori. Since we're here, let’s get on well together-

Rinko: Your face is so close!?

Ramona: Will you eat housewarming soba with me?

Rinko: You’ve been really lonely, huh......

Koyomi: That's all I have to tell you about East Ueno High School, where you’re transferring to. Do you have any questions?

Ramona: Yes, I've already got to grips with the school rules and discipline. Next, Koyomi, tell me about yourself.

Ramona: I want us to stimulate each other, like seven spice peppers! So why don't we have a cup of tea? You can even have some soba as well!

Koyomi: If you have time for that, you should be training. That’s how it is in this Gingaza.

Ramona: I know that Gingaza is fast paced. But enough time to have a cup of tea-

Koyomi: We have a limited amount of time. Well then, goodbye.

Ramona: I've heard that the Japanese are a busy race, but I didn't expect them to be this busy. Come to think of it, Kathrina seems to be busy too.......

Kathrina: ......I'm practicing now. Well then, excuse me.

Kathrina: ......It's none of your business.

Kathrina: Anyway, I'm in a hurry.

Troupe member: Ah, ah! Ah.......

Hikari: 435............436............!............437-.............

Ramona: (Koyomi is right, it's great that they’re busy training. However, everyone practices individually. Teamwork is non-existent.)

Ramona: (In this Gingaza, there really isn't much in the way of horizontal connections.)

Ramona: I don't understand. Why is there so much individualism here?

Xue: Don't talk all of a sudden, you startled me.

Ramona: What do you think about the state of Gingaza? Tell me your honest opinion-

Xue: No, no, no. If you want to talk to me, pay me as a part-time job. I'll deal with you if you pay me.

Ramona: Wait. You want me to pay you for a chat?

Xue: If you don't like it, ask Hikari. You can at least listen to her complaining while she's doing muscle training.

Hikari: 486............!　48......7............! I'm not giving up yet!

Ramona: ...I can’t bear to disturb that. I don't think I have the strength to answer.

Xue: That's how it is. Everyone is doing their best by themselves. That's Gingaza.

Ramona: That’s no good. Theatre is about the bond between actors. There is no way the current Gingaza can put on a good play.

Xue: Oh, enough. I told you to pay the money first and then complain. Pay me later. I'll make sure you do!

Ramona: Wait a minute, Xue! This isn't bitching! I'm being serious!

Rinko: Um, what's going on with you and Wang-san? A meeting about the rehearsal starting tomorrow?

Ramona: Oh, Rinko! I want you to listen to me, my.......

Rinko: Hmmm. The sound of a tummy bug?

Ramona: Ah, well.......listen to me while we eat......
