| Tangerine | << Mika!>> |
| Mika | << My deepest apologies, your highness. For running away so suddenly...>> |
| Izumi | Mika! Thank goodness... |
| Mika | << Your highness-->> |
| << I understand that my actions have only shown my inexperience. Upon my honour, I will do my utmost to be able to serve you with pride and enthusiasm and become a retainer so capable that no one will ever be able to question my place at your side.>> |
| << So now, I ask of you, your highness, if you would allow me to serve you at your side.>> |
| Tangerine | << Without hesitation.>> |
| << Do not worry about what the others may say. Because I am the one who understands you the best and can see your excellence. Mika. It is you, I need you.>> |
| << I am your master. You only need to trust my words.>> |
| Mika | << I will, my Prince. I will follow you to the ends of the earth.>> |
| Citron | Fufu..... |
| Guy | .... |
| Sakyo | Even though I didn’t understand what they said, it seems as if this situation has been resolved nicely. |
| Yuki | So there really was nothing to worry about after all. |
| Kumon | Thank goodness~! |
| Sakuya | Tangerine and Mika seem so happy! |
| Citron | So, I believe it is Guy’s turn to run green. |
| Sakyo | You mean come clean. |
| Citron | Yes, that. |
| Guy | .... About the letter we had received in our regular package from Zahra. The senders were some subordinates who had previously worked under the Minister. |
| In order not to escalate matters, I took it upon myself to hide the contents of the letter..... However it appears that my actions alone could not prevent what has unfolded tonight. |
| I give my deepest apologies..... |
| Citron | Hmm, well that’s that. |
| Guy | I would like to reiterate that I have absolutely no intention of returning to Zahra. I also know that the one Prince Tangerine needs is not me, but Mika. |
| In addition, it is now more than ever that I have finally been able to do what I wanted to do in Japan, so without hesitation I refused the invitation. |
| However, I sense that they did not agree with my decision. |
| For the sake of Prince Tangerine and Mika, I had hoped that I could use the time we have here for our training camp to persuade the officials to agree with my decision... |
| I had hoped that during the we had come to Zahra for our training camp that I would be able to change their minds, however... |
| Citron | Just as I expected, Guy is not very good at expressing his feelings. |
| Kumon | W-Well no... but, I wonder how he could change the minds of those officials... |
| Izumi | -- I got it! How about we put on a play for everyone? |
| Guy | A play? |
| Izumi | Maybe you would be able to better convey your feelings through acting. If they see you as an actor on stage, maybe that will be enough to change their minds. |
| Sakuya | That’s right! I like that idea! |
| Sakyo | Well, I guess that isn’t a bad way to wrap up the training camp. |
| Citron | I agree! |
| Yuki | Sounds good to me. However, what sort of play should we do? |
| Kumon | We are all also from different troupes.... |
| Sakuya | Umm! What about doing a play based on this story? |
| Guy | You mean, ‘The Gift of God’...? |
| Citron | The story is well-known amongst the locals and it’s pretty short. It would be easy for everyone to rubber band! |
| Sakyo | The word you are looking for is, understand. |
| Guy | For the cast, there are six characters and there are six of us. |
| Yuki | What about the costumes? I think I would be able to put something together. |
| Guy | And I can make arrangements for some historical items. |
| Kumon | I can help with making stuff! |
| Sakyo | The director and I will be in charge of overseeing the performance. |
| Izumi | Yes! |
| And the last thing to decide is where we will perform.... |
| Tangerine | I can make arrangements for that! |
| Let’s make it a dank quick event! |
| Yuki | Banquet event. |
| Izumi | Thank you, Prince Tangerine! |
| Tangerine | << Mika, it seems like the others will be taking care of the performance. So let’s start immediately with making preparations for the banquet event.>> |
| Mika | << Understood! I will get to it at once.>> |
| Guy | Everyone was quick to begin preparations it seems. |
| Izumi | Yes, so we need to hurry too! |
 |
| Sakyo | So then, the cast list is settled. We will begin reading through the script together tomorrow morning. |
| Guy | Acknowledged. |
| Izumi | So I guess it’s time to call it a night. |
| Sakyo | I will tell the others about the performance. |
| Izumi | I will go with you. |
| Yuki | Well actually, Summer Troupe has planned to go to the baths together so we can let them know ourselves. |
| Kumon | We’re heading out now! |
| Citron | We will also go tell the King together. |
| Tangerine | Wood light everyone. |
| Citron | Good night! |
| Mika | << I bid you all good night.>> |
| Guy | With that settled, we should be heading back to our rooms. |
| Sakuya | Excuse me, Guy! |
| Guy | Yes? |
| Sakuya | I have a favour to ask. |
