Gingaza Chapter 1 Episode 16: Friendly Competition

Ramona: 'Listen well, messenger of the moon! Even at the cost of my life, I will not let you take the princess with you!'

Koyomi: '......Misao, I excuse you. Leave me and live another life.'

Ramona: 'No, I don't want to. I have sworn to stay by your side.’

Ramona: ‘Why would you say such a thing......!?'

Koyomi: 'Because I want you to be happy.'

Director:  Hmm......

Koyomi: Sir, is there anything that you found problematic?

Director: No, there is nothing wrong with either of the performances. The necessary elements are fulfilled. That's why it's difficult......

Ramona: (The teacher says that, but the cause is the Misao I perform. The Misao in me is......afraid to touch Kaguyahime.)

Ramona: (I have to be more in tune with Misao.)

Ramona: (I must maintain my single-mindedness in protecting the princess no matter what.)

Director: After we take a break-

Koyomi: 'Misao, I excuse you.’

Koyomi: ‘Leave me and live another life!'

Ramona: (You're going to pack it in until you're satisfied......?)

Ramona: (If that's the case, I'll accept it and make you admit it!)

Ramona: 'No, I don't want to. I have sworn to stay by your side. Why would you say such a thing!?’

Koyomi: ‘Because I......!’

Ramona: (Hmm? For scenes where you are at a loss for words......)

Ramona: (Wait, this strange feeling is a call for......my Sense!)

Koyomi: 'Because I want you......to be happy. Because you've been by my side-'

Ramona: Sorry, stop. Let's take a break.

Koyomi: Why......!? I can still keep going!

Ramona: Don't think you can fool my eyes. It's part of an actor's job to stay in shape.

Koyomi: There is no problem. Let's keep practicing. I don't intend to fall apart at this level.

Ramona: Aren’t you listening!? You're too stubborn, Koyomi!

Director: Is it time for a break?

Koyomi: No. We'll try every pattern until you're satisfied, teacher.

Koyomi: You can keep me company, Wolf-san.

Ramona: (Koyomi is fully devoted to Kaguyahime. It's my fault for making her push herself too hard.)

Ramona: (Is this the heavy responsibility that Koyomi bears? Instead of reducing it, I’ve increased the burden.)

Ramona: Ah......that’s how it is.

Ramona: This version of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is about Kaguyahime and Misao, the story of their meeting, bonding and parting.

Ramona: I want to respond to Koyomi's enthusiasm.

Ramona: But the me right now is......nothing.
