Synopsis[]
The world-famous playwright, Reina Kuon, wrote the play "Loyal Retainer" based on Japan's Chushingura.
This work, which was written for the Edels, became a hot topic and was well received.
As such, it was soon set for a rerun.
Surprisingly, Kuon, who gained interest in Fumi after watching video materials, cast Fumi and Shiori in a double cast.
Fumi will once again stand on Siegfeld's stage which she fled.
And Shiori will perform the same role as her older sister.
With the new and old Edels, the curtain now raises on the story of the retainers who lived proudly and loyally.[2]
