Tamao the Goddess
Tamao:Phew, finally some time to rest!
Tamao:Today's classes were all so hard. I could really use a break.
Tamao:But I better prepare for the next classes.
Ichie:Tamao! About the homework that's due today... Huh? Are you reading the textbook for the next class?
Tamao:Yes. I was getting ready for the class and I thought I'd review the previous lesson.
Tamao:Afterwards, I'll skim through the chapter we'll be covering today.
Ichie:You're so serious about studying! That's so like you.
Tamao:You know, Ichie, just because you're in the Performance Department it doesn't mean you can neglect your studies.
Ichie:Uh... Yeah...
Tamao:As a Rinmeikan student, you should rise to any challenge, tackling it head-on.
Tamao:Our teachers are really good at explaining their subjects so that they're easy to understand. It'd be a waste to ignore them.
Ichie:Your words are like sharp knives, stabbing my lazy heart!
Tamao:...But I shouldn't be chiding a friend like this. I'm sorry. So, what did you want to ask me about?
Ichie:Oh, right! There was something I didn't understand in the homework...
Ichie:But after what you said, I think I'll just go and ask the teacher to explain it to me.
Tamao:Heh. That's the spirit! But isn't that homework due by the next class?
Ichie:...Uh oh!
Tamao:In that case, I'll just help you with it now. Which part did you not understand?
Ichie:Oh, Tamao-sama! You're my goddess! Um, this question here...
Ichie:Yay, I did it! I get it now!
Tamao:You should be okay solving problems of this type from now on, right? I'm glad you got it done in time.
Ichie:Thanks a bunch! Next time I'll make sure to ask the teacher for help right away if I need to.
Tamao:Heh, that's the way to do it!
Ichie:Oops, the next class is starting. I've got to get back to my desk. I really owe you!
Tamao:You're quite welcome.
Tamao:Oh... I forgot about preparing for the class.
Tamao:But Ichie's happy, so it's fine. It's all right once in a while!
Oldie but Goodie
Tamao:Oh, hello. We've just decided which play we're going to do for the school performance.
Tamao:It's a very traditional one called "Ghost Patrol Story".
Tamao:I'll be playing a new member of the Ghost Patrol Squad.
Tamao:It's an unusual role in a way, as the character starts seeing things he wasn't able to see before.
Tamao:I have to make sure the transition to being able to see ghosts doesn't feel unnatural.
Tamao:Do you know this play? It's almost a hundred years old and very well-loved!
Tamao:There's so much history to it, and it's rooted in tradition. Our Performance Department will work hard to do it justice!
Tamao:My ambition is to make it better than before... No, to have it win acclaim as the best in history!
Tamao:Everyone in the department is putting their heart and soul into practice every day.
Tamao:It's a difficult play, so Fumi is up in arms whenever she thinks anyone's slacking off. She's on Ichie's case in particular.
Tamao:Even Yuyuko-chan is working hard without a word of complaint. She says she wants to include elements from rakugo storytelling.
Tamao:When I think that maybe my grandmother also performed in "Ghost Patrol Story", I get extra motivated.
Tamao:After deciding who gets which role, we all wished each other good luck.
Tamao:Having friends working on something together with you is kind of reassuring.
Tamao:I want to do my best so everyone in the audience will love this play.
Tamao:That's why I will have to devote myself to practicing for it every day.
Tamao:Sorry, but I have to go practice now. See you later!
Tamao:Even when I'm doing something I truly believe in, sometimes I start having doubts. But that's when my friends come to my aid.
Tamao:The character I'm playing butts heads with people, but those conflicts turn into mutual respect. They end up growing as people more than anyone else in this play.
Tamao:I'm a bit jealous of my character's courage in facing others with honesty and openness. I'd like to be more like that with my friends.
Tamao:Until I become strong enough to protect what I care about... I'd be happy if you kept watching over my progress!
