Gingaza Chapter 1 Episode 17: The Power I Received Ramona: I have been awaiting your arrival, Kaguya-sama. Let's practice right away. Come, come! Koyomi: Could you not bring the role into reality? Also, practice is off. What are your plans for the rest of the day? Ramona: A day off? We don't have a lot of time before the show. Ramona: If I don’t cram practice in until the deadline, there might be delays. Koyomi: Haah.......you have a Sense for understanding how tired other people are, but you don't know yourself at all. Koyomi: I’m giving you this. Go on. Ramona: This is for......Sirius' Phantom of the Opera! Ramona: Why are you giving me such a platinum ticket!? Koyomi: Because you seem to be taking on too many things at once, I'm inviting you to take a break. Ramona: Wh-...... Koyomi: Looks like I hit the nail on the head. Honestly...... Koyomi: Oh yes, your friend Kathrina is going to be on the show. Ramona: Well, I'd love to see her in action. But that aside- Ramona: -I never thought I'd be invited by Koyomi! How fortuitous! Ramona: So we’ve developed a friendship to the extent that we can go to the theatre together! Koyomi: Taking care of your health is also part of your job as an actor. Oh, that's a line I heard somewhere recently. It sounds like a guess. Ramona: Are you possibly angry......? Koyomi: Shall we head over? ♪ Koyomi: Phew, she’s so precious, my telomeres have grown......Yae, your presence is a blessing to the earth...... Ramona: Yeah, but above all, Kathrina was so alive. Ramona: ......So much so that I no longer need to worry. Koyomi: ......Now, let's go back to the rehearsal room and finish up. We don't have time to be dazed. Ramona: Yeah, you're right...... Ramona: (Kathrina stood up admirably on her own. But can I......say that I stood up myself?) Director: Less than a week to go until the main performance. The score at this stage is 80. That’s probably a respectable score. Director: But there is no one in Gingaza who is satisfied with a respectable score. From tomorrow onwards, we will aim even higher. Ramona: ....... Lilja: Ramona secured. We will now take her back to the moon. Hikari, finish it off. Hikari: Firm hold! And lift her up! Hikari: I'll run with the engine at full throttle! Woooah! Ramona: H-Hey! I'm not a bale of rice! Where are you taking me carrying me on your back!? Xue: Kukuku, you've finally arrived. Germany. Rejoice, you're now going to try out for the Gluttony Championship. Xue: Drink up every last drop of this boiling hotpot. If you do, I'll write off your debt this one time. Ramona: Hah? Hikari: You see, we all thought about it. Hikari: Spicy food is a good way to blow away your fatigue! Ramona: ......Wait. The ingredients for the hot pot are more luxurious than usual. This is free!? Lilja: Xue’s own food. Ramona: I can't believe it...... but why again....... Hikari: The director recently complimented me. He said that my range of expression has improved. It's thanks to Ramo-san. Lilja: I want things to go well for you. Because we've had a naked relationship. Xue: If you have time to talk, get on with it and eat! Xue: Like I said, it’s all about the paycheque for me, okay? Hikari: What? You said 'I'll make her eat something delicious' while you were happily shopping. Xue: It’s for the P-A-Y-C-H-E-Q-U-E! Xue: Eat the hotpot and take a bite out of Koyomi at any cost! Got it!? Ramona: ......Thank you, everyone. Thanks to you, I've made up my mind. Ramona: 'Listen well, messenger of the moon! Even at the cost of my life, I will not let you take the Princess with you!' Ramona: (Koyomi, I will do everything in my power to defeat the burden you carry. So that you can enjoy the theatre again!) Koyomi: '......Misao, I excuse you. Leave me and live another life.' Koyomi: (I can't believe you've improved so much over the last few days. It's almost as if your previous lackluster performance was a lie.) Koyomi: (But as the lead actor, I can't do a mediocre play!) Hikari: Both of you are amazing. Xue: No, those two can do more! You owe me for feeding you, Ramona! Lilja: I'm looking forward to the show tomorrow...... Ramona: Yeah, now it’s time for the real thing......!
