| Tsuzuru | *sigh*.... That was awful…. |
| Itaru | The delicacies in that restaurant blew me away. |
| Masumi | My mouth is still burning. |
| Sakuya | As expected of Tadoru-san, he knows a lot of places. |
| Izumi | They were all historical places, though…. |
| Chikage | Like a shady rare museum. |
| Tsuzuru | I’m a fool for believing him. |
| Chikage | I enjoyed eating dishes cooked with rare spices, though. |
| Itaru | Me too. I shared it on SNS. |
| Izumi | Well, we had fun in a lot of ways today. Let’s prepare for tomorrow’s performance and take a good rest tonight. |
| Sakuya | The stage has been renovated since Winter Troupe performed “Opera”, huh. |
| Tsuzuru | That theater building was pretty luxurious. I’m looking forward to see how it looks after the renovation. |
| Izumi | Winter Troupe was the one performing last time, and now that we get to stand onstage here with Citron-kun as the Spring Troupe, I feel happy. |
| Tsuzuru | I know, right. |
| Masumi | My musical performance has since gotten better since last time. I won’t lose to Citron this time… |
| Tsuzuru | You sure have guts doing that in this place, Citron-san’s home. |
| Guy | Sorry, we’re late. |
| Mika | «I apologize.» |
| Izumi | Whoah, Guy-san. You brought a lot of luggages. |
| Guy | Members of Winter Troupe asked for a lot of souvenirs. |
| Chikage | Did you go shopping for the whole day today? |
| Guy | No. I was inquiring about the sources of supplies in order to increase our regular food ingredients, and going around restaurants to check the tastes trending in food currently in Zahra. |
| Tsuzuru | You look busy. |
| Guy | Unlike Mika, I do not have any talent in cooking, but I’d like to increase my repertoire when it comes to side dish at least. |
| Izumi | You’re serious about food… |
| Itaru | Do you feel like opening a store? |
| Chikage | If you need someone to be a taster, feel free me to ask me. |
| Izumi | Anyway, are Citron-kun and Prince Tangerine still in the middle of conferment ceremony rehearsal? |
| Guy | Yes. It took all day, huh. I think the rehearsal will go on until late at night. |
| Izumi | The dress rehearsal for Spring Troupe has already finished, so it’s not a problem. But Citron-kun must have it hard…. |
| Tsuzuru | He’ll perform the play after the conferment ceremony, right. |
| Chikage | He must be so busy. |
| Guy | Yes. But Citronia himself is having a lot of fun. He’s full of vigor. |
| Izumi | That’s right. He’ll be performing in his native country, after all. |
| Sakuya | Let’s do our best to make everyone in Zahra enjoy our play! |
| Tsuzuru | Yes. |
| Itaru | You’re right. |
| |
| Tangerine | …. |
| Citron | «Are you nervous?» |
| Tangerine | «I’m sorry. To think that I’m anxious at times like this, I’m not qualified to be a crown prince.» |
| Citron | «Think of the “Spring” that will come soon, Tangerine.» |
| Tangerine | «Huh?» |
| Citron | «You will experience pain and difficulties until that time comes. But the glittering “Spring” will surely come to anyone.» |
| «It’s a bright and warm season, with a gentle, blessed light pouring down the ground. It’s a season that marks the beginning of something.» |
| «The “Spring” will certainly come to you someday.» |
| «When that time comes, I’m sure you’ll be a great and admirable king who is loved by the citizen and vassals.» |
| Tangerine | «...Yes.» |
| «Nii-sama, there’s only one thing that I wanted to be since a long time ago.» |
| Citron | ——. |
| Tangerine | «I’ve always wanted to be like nii-sama, who is loved and respected the most in the world.» |
| «I’ll be a person like nii-sama and become a king. When that time comes, I’m sure it’ll be the “Spring” in my life.» |
| Citron | «….Thank you, Tangerine. You are my pride.» |
| |
| Sakuya | It’s about to begin! |
| Tsuzuru | Performing in this kind of atmosphere, they must be nervous. |
| Itaru | Amazing, it looks like roleplay. |
| Chikage | Here it is, the game brain[1] |
| King of Zahra | «With this, we will start the conferment ceremony.» |
| Izumi | (The atmosphere is really solemn… Even I feel nervous somehow.) |
| Sakuya | Citron-kun and Prince Tangerine will be delivering their musical performance after this. |
| Tangerine | …. |
| Citron | …. |
| Citizen A | «Huh? It’s not Citronia-sama?» |
| Citizen B | «Citronia-sama!» |
| Citizen C | «Is he going to play the violin with Tangerine-sama this year?» |
| Izumi | (Citron-kun is idolized by the people of Zahra too.) |
| Tangerine | …. |
| Citron | ….. |
| Izumi | (Citron-kun and Prince Tangerine’s “Spring”... The melody that they produce feels warm, like it’s surrounding the theater building gently.) |
| (It’s a bright “Spring” that’s full of hope and joy. I’m sure the music sounds like that because it’s played by them.) |
| Tangerine | «I am deeply grateful for all the things that you have done for the people in this country. All of you are the treasure of our country.» |
| Citron | «Congratulations on your conferment. We will be delivering a play related to the song “Spring” after this, so please look forward to it greatly.» |
| Izumi | Prince Tangerine is splendid. |
| Masumi | ….That’s why I said he’s surprisingly a solid and strong guy. |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Masumi | It’s nothing. |
| King of Zahra | «Citronia.» |
| Citron | ? |
| King of Zahra | «I’m sorry, but I forgot there’s still one honoree.» |
| Citizen A | «Eh?» |
| Citizen B | «There is?» |
| King of Zahra | «Guy. Guy = Nishiki[2]. I shall honor your achievement of being the mediator between our country and Japan, as well as of serving Citronia for so long.» |
| Guy | ——. |
| King of Zahra | «Come here.» |
| «Show appreciation for him, Citronia.» |
| Citron | ——. |
| Tangerine | «Please play, nii-sama.» |
| Citron | «Well, then….» |
| ….. |
| Izumi | This is…. |
| Masumi | Smash, smash…. |
| Izumi | Zukkorobashi!? |
| Tsuzuru | He’s playing it again!? |
| Citizen A | «Hmm, it’s a strange song.» |
| Citizen B | «Is this a Japanese song?» |
| Guy | «….Are you not playing “Spring”?» |
| Citron | «Haha. The time is still yet to come for me to play “Spring” for you.» |
| Guy | «That means you will play it someday.» |
| Citron | «When you have finished your duty without any problems.» |
| Guy | «It’ll be a slow business waiting for that time to come. Are you really going to keep your promise?» |
| Citron | «That won’t be a problem. I will certainly live longer than you.» |
| Guy | «….I shall look forward to that.» |
