Orange | <<What’s going on!? We were supposed to have changed the plan!?>> |
Orange’s subordinate | <<I apologize. I acted upon my own judgement.>> |
Orange | <<You—!>> |
| |
Citron | <<...What is the damage situation?>> |
Soldier A | <<The fire has been put out. The theater was partially destroyed, but there were no injuries, and every guest is safe.>> |
Citron | <<Well done.>> |
| Phew.... |
Izumi | Citron-kun... I’m so glad you’re safe...! |
Citron | I’m berry sorbet for making you worry, everyone.... |
Tsuzuru | Citron-san... So it is “berry sorbet” after all.... |
Masumi | Didn’t you learn anything from living in Japan? |
Sakuya | Citron-san, all this time I wanted to ask you why you left without a word.... |
| I wanted to act with you again, Citron-san... Uuu.... |
Tsuzuru | Don’t disappear out of nowhere. That’s not allowed. |
Masumi | Don’t copy me. |
Itaru | Geez. It was so much work coming all the way here. |
Chikage | I was the one who did most of the work, you know? |
Citron | ...—I’m sorry. |
Sakuya | There were so many things I wanted to ask you and tell you, but they all flew from my mind. |
| Because I’m just so happy to see you again.... |
Citron | I’m so happy to see everyone too. I thought we would never meet again.... |
Guy | .... |
Citron | <<Guy. That was a wonderful performance.>> |
Guy | <<It’s thanks to you. I really, truly wanted to tell you that I regained everything I lost.>> |
| <<Why did you leave me in Japan?>> |
Citron | <<Because I knew you were born there. I thought you might regain your memories if you stayed in Japan.>> |
| <<But if I did not do what I did, you would have insisted on following me back to Zahra Kingdom, right?>> |
Guy | <<Of course.>> |
Citron | <<That’s why I chose that method.>> |
Guy | <<Thanks to you, I regained all my memories. As well as the emotions I lost....>> |
| <<And I now understand the meaning of your words.>> |
Citron | <<My words?>> |
Guy | <<There is nothing more fun than standing on stage with everyone in this troupe.>> |
Citron | <<——.>> |
Guy | <<How did you feel standing upon the stage? What were you thinking?>> |
Citron | <<...There were many, many lives unfolding upon the stage of MANKAI Company.>> |
| <<I was not an heir to the throne when I stood on the stage of that little theater. I could be my true, free self.>> |
| <<I could become anything within a story. I could travel anywhere, however I pleased.>> |
| <<A stage where I felt connected with my wonderful troupemates... I think I wanted you to experience the same feeling.>> |
Guy | <<...So you yearned for freedom.>> |
Citron | <<It took you this long to realize that? You really are useless.>> |
Guy | <<You’re right... I might have known all this time, and pretended not to know.>> |
| <<I averted my eyes from not just my own emotions, but yours as well, Citronia.>> |
| <<Citronia, just as I thought, you—.>> |
King of Zahra | <<I apologize for the confusion during such an important ceremony. I am relieved to hear that nobody was hurt.>> |
| <<We are currently investigating the cause, but we will set a near date to hold the ceremony again for our people, who were looking forward to—.>> |
Tangerine | <<Father, may I have a word?>> |
King of Zahra | <<What is it, Tangerine?>> |
Tangerine | <<This chandelier falling was no accident. It was a deliberate attempt to end Citronia-nii-sama’s life.>> |
King of Zahra | <<What...?>> |
Citron | <<Tangerine, keep that confidential....>> |
Tangerine | <<No. I will make my accusation right here.>> |
| <<The people who kidnapped Citronia-nii-sama—and attempted to end his life—are Orange-nii-sama and Navel-nii-sama.>> |
Orange | <<What are you—.>> |
Navel | <<—-gh.>> |
King of Zahra | <<Is this true, Citronia?>> |
Citron | <<...Yes.>> |
Orange | <<He’s wrong! I never wanted to take his life—!>> |
Navel | <<I have done nothing! Please believe me, father!>> |
King of Zahra | <<Take them away. I will ask them about the details of the situation later.>> |
Orange | <<Father!>> |
Navel | <<I am innocent!>> |
King of Zahra | <<By the bye—is that not Guy standing there? What are the guards doing?>> |
Guy | <<——.>> |
Soldier A | <<Capture him!>> |
Citron | <<Please wait.>> |
| <<Father. Guy never kidnapped me.>> |
King of Zahra | <<What do you mean?>> |
Citron | <<I apologize. I chose to hide myself in Japan in order to flee from those who opposed my ascension to the throne.>> |
King of Zahra | <<Why did you lie?>> |
Citron | <<...If I had spoken the truth, we would have needed to search for the culprit. I did not wish to fight among brothers.>> |
| <<This whole commotion was ultimately caused by my inexperience... I implore you to judge them with great tolerance.>> |
| <<I will atone for putting our people in danger by devoting my life to this country as king.>> |
King of Zahra | <<...Those people over there. Do you know them?>> |
Izumi | ? |
| (The king is looking this way and saying something...?) |
Citron | <<They are my precious troupemates, who stood on stage with me in Japan—no, they are my Japanese family.>> |
King of Zahra | <<...Hm.>> |
| <<I see. I will settle on a punishment after listening to what Orange and Navel have to say.>> |
Citron | <<...Yes.>> |
