I'm so nervous I'm shaking....... Ramona: I'll hold your hand. It's going to be all right. Director: Let's start with the role of Kaguyahime's attendant, Misao. Ramona Wolf. Ramona: Yes, Ramona Wolf here. Director: And the role of Princess Kaguyahime is played by...... Senju Koyomi. Koyomi: Understood. Ramona: (My co-star is Koyomi? I'm looking forward to it.) Ramona: (It's a pity it wasn't Rinko......) Director: Next, Kaguyahime's foster parents, Ou and Nyanba. The role of Ou, Wang Xue. Yonaguni Hikari will play the role of the old woman. Xue: Got it! Hikari: Yes! Director: Messenger from the moon. Lilja Kurtbey. Next, the five princes, each of whom- Director: -will be performed by more than one member. Those whose names have been called are to take part in the reading afterwards. Rinko: ....... Ramona: Rinko, I- Rinko: Oh, it didn't work out this time either! I'm so disappointed! But I feel kind of refreshed! Ramona: That’s....... Rinko: You're doing the reading together, right? Go on, go on. It's your second play, so do your best, even for me! Ramona: Uh.......sorry. I’ll go. Hikari: 'And that's why you've come forward, isn't it?’ Xue: 'Thank goodness. I'm too old to know what's going on in the capital. I'm asking you to take care of Kaguya, Misao.’ Ramona: ....... Director: Next is Misao's dialogue. What's the matter? Ramona: Sorry.......can we have a break? Director: We will resume in 15 minutes. Koyomi: ....... Rinko: ......Okay, it's tidy. I haven't forgotten anything. All my luggage is in the boot. Rinko: I can't wait to get rid of my regrets...... Ramona: Rinko......? Why did you clear out your room? Where are you going without telling me, Rinko!? Rinko: I didn't want to cry, so I kept quiet. If you're a kind person, act nice to me until the end. Ramona: Don't tell me you're quitting......? Rinko: Because, I don't belong here anymore....... Ramona: Even if you din't make it this time, there’s still the next time! Rinko: There isn't anymore! I've been smoldering for so long, I don't like it. I've struggled and tried my best, but I've reached my limit....... Ramona: Rinko....... Rinko: I wish I had met you sooner. Ramona: ....... Koyomi: I’ve just learned that she requested to terminate her contract. That’s unfortunate. Ramona: I’m going to make her stay. That’s what a friend should do. Koyomi: If you respect her, you shouldn't. Koyomi: Fukushi-san was a good and kind person. Her jokes made many people laugh. Ramona: Even I...was saved by Rinko. Koyomi: But being kind is not enough to be an actor. Ramona: ...I understand your point and Gingaza’s style. Ramona: But I'm not going to bend. This place is too cold. It should be improved. Koyomi: Why are you so obsessed with this? Ramona: I can't connect with anyone, it's so lonely being in a individualistic group. Koyomi: ....... Ramona: If the actor enjoys the play, it will be conveyed to the audience. If the audience is happy, it gives the actor strength. Ramona: There is still room for growth in Gingaza......I will prove it to you.
