| Citron | …..——. |
| Tangerine | «...Onii-sama, whenever you play the violin, you always look so happy.» |
| Citron | «Playing the violin makes me feel relaxed.» |
| Tangerine | «I feel the same. Listening to the warm tone from onii-sama’s violin play gives me peace of mind.» |
| Citron | «It’s worth playing the violin, then.» |
| Tangerine | «Onii-sama, are you going to be someone who plays the violin in the future?» |
| Citron | ——. |
| Tangerine | «Onii-sama?» |
| Citron | «My future has been decided since the day I was born, you know.» |
| Tangerine | «….?» |
| Citron | «This topic is still too difficult for you, huh.» |
| Tangerine | «Onii-sama, you look sad.» |
| Citron | «It’s nothing. Thanks for worrying.» |
| Tangerine | «——Onii-sama, please play the song from earlier once more.» |
| Citron | «Do you like it?» |
| Tangerine | «Yes. The melodies are beautiful.» |
| Citron | «Yes, I agree. However, these are not the complete melodies. This is a song that can't be complete with merely one violin.» |

| Izumi | Ah, have we bought the red bean paste? |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah, we got it. |
| Izumi | Thank goodness. Citron-kun asked for it. |
| He was attracted to Japanese sweets after watching Winter Troupe’s fifth play some time ago, so he has been asking Omi-kun to cook some. |
| Tsuzuru | Fushimi-san can cook everything, huh. |
| Izumi | He’s amazing. |
| That reminds me, we need to think about Spring Troupe’s sixth play soon. Looking at it, the next lead actor should naturally be Citron-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | Yeah. |
| Izumi | I wonder what kind of role will suit him. I think a slightly extraordinary character will suit him better than an average character. |
| Tsuzuru | He really fit the role of King Arthur during our Kniroun play. |
| Izumi | Yup, yup. It’d be nice if we can use that elegant aura of his. Should we try asking the person himself? |
| Tsuzuru | I have a feeling that person will make a lot of unreasonable requests. I think I’ll have a hard time. |
| Izumi | But you still intend to ask him. |
| Tsuzuru | That is, well…. I want to give Citron-san a role that he wants to play as a lead actor. |
| Izumi | I see… You’re right. |
| Citron-kun has been spending his life as a chosen future king for a long time. |
| Tsuzuru | He’s also into acting, so I’d like to give him a role other than kings. |
| Izumi | I’m looking forward to know what kind of request he’ll ask. |
| Tsuzuru | I hope it’s a story which is still within my range of writing ability. |
| Izumi | I’m sure you’ll be just fine now, Tsuzuru-kun! You’re our proud screenwriter, after all! |
| Tsuzuru | That’s such unnecessary pressure. |

| Guy | «Citronia, I’ve brought tea.» |
| Citron | «What a nostalgic smell.» |
| Guy | «The tea leaves from Zahra have just arrived.» |
| Citron | «Has anything changed there?» |
| Guy | «It seems they’re busy with the preparation for the conferment ceremony.» |
| Citron | «It’s already that time of the year, huh…» |
| Guy | «It looks like Prince Tangerine is struggling with the training for his first conferment ceremony.» |
| Citron | «Yeah… There are a lot of things to do.» |
| Guy | «I still remember the time when you were in his place, Citronia.» |
| Citron | «I had always did it perfectly since the first ceremony, though.» |
| Guy | «You made a mistake during the musical performance, you know. Though you did it perfectly during practice.» |
| Citron | «You’re the only one who could notice such trivial mistakes like that. Good grief, you have such a sharp eye for strange things.» |
| «But there are a lot of things to remember for the conferment ceremony. Performing with the royal orchestra sounds like it’d be a pain too.» |
| Guy | «Prince Tangerine has also started taking violin lessons, but I don’t think he is at the level to participate.» |
| Citron | «I’ve also performed on behalf of father a few times, but I still got nervous every time.» |
| Guy | «How nostalgic. I wanted to listen to your violin after a while, Citronia.» |
| Citron | «I haven’t touched violin at all ever since I came here. I think I may not be able to play it anymore.» |
| Guy | «That’s too bad. Your skill was highly praised by the personal instructor.» |
| Citron | «...Now that I think about it, Tangerine once asked me whether I would be “someone who plays the violin” some day.» |
| «Tangerine was still very young that time.» |
| Guy | «He’s innocent.» |
| Citron | «...Yeah.» |
| Guy | «Prince Tangerine used to cling to Citronia, but he has grown into a fine man. I’m sure he’ll carry out his duties during the conferment ceremony.» |
| Citron | «You’re right...» |
| Tsuzuru | ——Do you have a moment, Citron-san? |
| Citron | What is it, Tsuzuru? Ah! Could it be that an appearance request has come for Citrun!? |
| Tsuzuru | No way! |
| I’m here to talk about the next Spring Troupe play, not that. Director and I have discussed it and want you to be the next lead actor. |
| Citron | Ooh, it’s finally here, my microwaved naan turn! |
| Tsuzuru | That sounds delicious, but you mean long-awaited[1], right. |
| So do you have any requests for the play’s theme or something like that? Or maybe a role that you’d like to play. |
| Citron | Hmmm… |
| Tsuzuru | Did you want to be something other than king back when you were still a child? |
| Citron | I’ve been trained to become a king ever since I could remember, so I never gave it any thought. |
| Though I’ve become a comedian with Tsuzuru… |
| Tsuzuru | No, we haven't. |
| Guy | I, too, have never heard Citronia talked about things he wanted to be. |
| Tsuzuru | You can request things you want to do, too. |
| Citron | ….Playing violin. |
| Tsuzuru | Huh? |
| Citron | I want to play violin! |
| Tsuzuru | Violin??? |
| Citron | «...Speaking of which, there’s nothing I can’t do now.» |
| Guy | «You have a point.» |
