SYSTEM READY... [OK]
GuyExcuse me.
ManagerYes, yes, who is it—.
GuyI’m sorry for intruding at such a late hour.
ManagerAh! U-umm! I’m! Can’t English! Thank you, sayonara! Have a nice day!
CitronIsuke, Japanese is fine.
ManagerEh!? Huh!?
CitronHe is Guy. My—servant.
ManagerServant...?
GuyI would like to meet the person in charge of this troupe.
ManagerAh, umm, wait, a minute, please!
IzumiYou came to retrieve Citron-kun...?
GuyCitronia is Zahra Kingdom’s crown prince. He needs to attend the coronation ceremony in three months as the next king.
IzumiThe next king...!?
TsuzuruNow that you mention it, aniki mentioned there was going to be a coronation ceremony in Zahra Kingdom soon, but....
SakuyaI didn’t think Citron-san was the king....
ItaruIncognito? Ktkr.
ChikageI heard there was some trouble regarding the rights of succession, but things got sorted out, huh?
GuyCitronia has always been the first crown prince in line to succeed the throne.
Tsuzuru...This isn’t just another one of your jokes, right?
Citron....
Izumi(Citron-kun isn’t denying anything.... Is he really....?)
GuyThere’s still time till the coronation ceremony. You need time to gather your belongings, too.
Please allow me to stay by Citronia’s side until he departs the country.
IzumiThat’s fine, but....
SakuyaCitron-san, you can come back once you’re done with the coronation ceremony, right? What are you going to do about the troupe after you become king?
MasumiDoesn’t that mean he can’t keep acting?
SakuyaBut—.
CitronA king can’t leave his country so easily. I’ll have to leave the troupe.
SakuyaLeave the troupe....
CitronI’ll enjoy the little time I have left—my last days as a student abroad.
Izumi(I thought this would happen someday, but I didn’t think it would happen so suddenly....)
(I’m in shock, but Citron-kun was always an international student; his time was limited. There’s nothing we can do about that, right....)
(Unlike Masumi-kun, Citron-kun seems to be accepting his situation. It makes me sad, but I guess we have to accept it too....)
Sakuya...Do you truly wish to be king, Citron-san?
Citron...I’m saturated.
ItaruSatisfied?
CitronThat’s right.
Sakuya....
CitronI’ll think about the last things I want to do in Japan.
IzumiCitron-kun....
Tsuzuru....
Omi...For now, why don’t we eat. You’re welcome to join us, Guy-san.
Guy...Thank you.
IzumiGuy-san, your Japanese is very good.
Citron-kun had a difficult time getting used to it. Have you been studying for a while?
GuyMy language options are set to Japanese. I have no issue with conversations.
TsuzuruLanguage options?
GuyThe latest version is compatible with three languages.
ItaruThe latest version....
CitronGuy is an andromeda.
ChikageThe galaxy?
MasumiWhat does that mean?
CitronNo, I got it wrong. He’s a nendroid.
ChikageI’m even more confused.
GuyI’m an android.
IzumiOh please, I won’t be fooled.
GuyI was created in the royal laboratory where all the wisdom in Zahra Kingdom is collected. I get a version update every year.
IzumiNot you too, Guy-san....
Eh? You’re kidding, right?
CitronThe main body is an old model, so he’s a bit useless. Push.

Guy....
IzumiGuy-san?
CitronPush.
GuyOmnom....
CitronPush.
Guy....
ItaruHe keeps switching him on and off....
CitronPush.
GuyCitronia. I told you not to make mischief by restarting me over and over again.
CitronThe fact that I can restart you so easily is a setting error.
IzumiA-are you really...?
KumonAmazing! This is my first time meeting an android person!
AzamiI think that goes for pretty much everyone.
GuyDirector, could you allow me to stay in the dorms tonight? I’m not permitted to take my eyes off of Citronia for even a moment.
IzumiEh?
GuyYou can leave me in the corner of the entrance.
IzumiThe corner of the entrance!?
(But he can’t take his eyes off of him for even a moment...? This sounds like surveillance....)
You’re welcome to stay, but there’s only one room open right now.
Azuma-san, do you mind sharing your room?
AzumaI don’t mind.
GuyPlease take care of me.
AzumaAndroid-san, can you drink sake?
GuyShake[1]? I can eat fish.
AzumaSake. Alcohol.
GuyAh, sake. I do drink socially.
AzumaFufu, I’m looking forward to it.
Izumi???
Citron....
Guy...<<Citronia. It’s past your bedtime.>>
Citron<<You’re as fussy as always. Go back to your room first.>>
Guy<<I can’t do that.>>
Citron<<You need to watch over me at all times, huh. I’m not running away anymore.>>
Guy<<....>>
<<...I looked for you everywhere, but I didn’t think I would find you here.>>
<<Why a theater troupe?>>
Citron<<...There is nothing more fun than standing on stage with everyone in this troupe.>>
Guy<<...Fun?>>
Citron<<...You wouldn’t understand, huh.>>
