Previous Main Story Next
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....
IzumiCitron-kun... I’m so glad you’re safe...!
CitronI’m berry sorbet for making you worry, everyone....
TsuzuruCitron-san... So it is “berry sorbet” after all....
MasumiDidn’t you learn anything from living in Japan?
SakuyaCitron-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....
TsuzuruDon’t disappear out of nowhere. That’s not allowed.
MasumiDon’t copy me.
ItaruGeez. It was so much work coming all the way here.
ChikageI was the one who did most of the work, you know?
Citron...—I’m sorry.
SakuyaThere 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....
CitronI’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.>>
