The 100th Seisho Festival
"Please take this... The star that you have wished for!"
Flora:
Ahh! My eyes! I can't see!
Flora:
Claire... Claire, where are you?! Claaaire!
Claire:
Huff, huff...
Claire:
I remember... Your name is Flora.
Claire:
I'm sorry, Flora... Our dream...will not come true.
100th Seisho Festival Closing Party
Junna:The 99th Class performed "Starlight" again at the 100th Seisho Festival!
Junna:Let's toast to its great success!
Cheers!
Karen:*sigh*
Hikari:Whew...
Karen:It's over...
Hikari:Yeah, it's over...
Karen:It's so wonderful...
Hikari:Yeah...
Mahiru:Heh heh. The satisfaction is really coming through on your faces. I can tell how happy you must be with what you did.
Karen:You too, Mahiru-chan!
Karen:But...you're right. I'm so happy we got to perform "Starlight"...
Hikari:Yeah... It was good.
Hikari:But... I also have a regret.
Mahiru:Regret?
Hikari:I wasn't able to play Claire... My favorite.
Ah!
Hikari:Saijo-san's Claire was just...brilliant... I felt a little...no, not just a little. I felt jealous.
Karen:Hikari-chan...
Claudine:...That's high praise coming from you.
Junna:I felt the same. We were just looking up at the two leads again.
Nana:Junna-chan...
Junna:Oh, I don't mean it like that, Nana. It isn't that I feel jaded...
Junna:But...seeing your Flora...l felt I was the only one who could play Claire. I felt it strongly.
Junna:If it was me, I wouldn't have let Flora fall from the tower. I would have taken her hand, and never let go...
Junna:I wanted to play that kind of Claire. I really wanted to.
Nana:Wow, Junna-chan...! I've never heard that kind of interpretation of Claire before!
Futaba:The interpretation depends on the person playing the role... It's the most basic, but also the most interesting part of the stage!
Futaba:We've gotta play Claire and Flora next time, Kaoruko.
Kaoruko:*sigh* No, thank you. Everyone is getting too heated up.
Futaba:Huh?
Kaoruko:After a performance like that I suppose there's no helping that. Still, if you don't look at it calmly, you won't be able to reflect properly.
Futaba:Haha, quit trying to act tough.
Futaba:You were practically fuming when Clau-ko was decided for the main role at the auditions.
Futaba:"Why Clau-han! I should be Claire! If I were Claire, I'd do this and this and that!"
Kaoruko:Ahhh! Nobody needs to know that!
Nana:I knew that ♪ You're as passionate as anyone, Kaoruko-chan.
Kaoruko:Grrr... We're doubling our practice from tomorrow, Futaba-han! I'll take the lead role in the 101st Seisho Festival!
Karen:Non, non, Kaoruko-chan!
Karen:Hikari and I will be playing Flora and Claire at the 101st Seisho Festival!
Hikari:Karen... Yeah.
Hikari:Starlight at the 101st Seisho Festival...is our destiny.
Mahiru:Heh heh, I wonder.
Huh?
Mahiru:I'll be taking the role of Claire at the auditions for the 101st Starlight!
Mahiru:Then... Flora might be Karen-chan. Or maybe Hikari-chan. Heh heh heh ♪
Karen:Rrrgh...! We're all partners, yet rivals!
Hikari:Yeah... That's how we lift each other higher.
I won't lose, Claudine Saijo!
Claudine:Oh, my... It's a mutual declaration of war between everyone.
Claudine:...Heh, that's fine by me. Just try!
Claudine:Claudine Saijo of the 99th Class of Seisho Music Academy! C'est moi, la star!
Claudine:I will lose to no one!
Claudine:I will lose to...no one.
Claudine:.....
Claudine:.....
Claudine:I feel like I've said that before.
Claudine:"I won't lose to you"...
Claudine:What performance was that? Who did I say it to...?
Claudine:I am a Stage Girl... I never forget a performance. So...why can't I remember?
Claudine:..."I won't lose to you. "
Claudine:I won't lose...
Claudine:...To who?
"Maya Tendo" Erased part 2
Kaoruko:Hum hum hum ♪
Karen:Heeey, you're in a good mood, Kaoruko-chan.
Futaba:It's because today's performance lesson is "Ghost of the Theater". She's walking on air.
Kaoruko:Of course I am! I love that play.
Kaoruko:"Ghost of the Theater"... The story of a popular stage actress who's loved by a ghost that lurks in the theater.
Kaoruko:The way the ghost trifles with Stephanie, revealing her fragility...
Kaoruko:And the girl's laughter that echoes through the theater at the end... It's a true horror if there ever was one.
Futaba:Yeah, the first time we watched a DVD of the performance, Kaoruko couldn't even go to the bathroom on her own—
Kaoruko:Nobody needs to know that.
Karen:It sure has been a while since we've done "Ghost of the Theater", though! It must have been since our summer training as first-years.
Hikari:Summer training?
Mahiru:Group A has a special summer training session where we all stay in the Uminomori Building.
Karen:The Uminomori Building has a training room, an acoustics studio, and even a theater!
Futaba:On our first year, on the mountain road on the way there, Kaoruko got sick on the bus, and she had a pretty rough time...
Kaoruko:Again, nobody needs to know that. Futaba-han forgot to put a dried plum on my stomach to keep me from getting sick!
Karen:That's why last year I brought a whole jar of them!
Mahiru:We performed "Ghost of the Theater" at the talent show the first year. Clau-chan played the lead, and Nana-chan was her rival.
Futaba:That's how the roles were decided for the 99th performance of "Starlight", and here we are.
Karen:Yeah, that's how important the summer training is! You'll come with us this year, Hikari-chan!
Hikari:I'll look forward to it.
Kaoruko:The role of Stephanie was taken from me that time... But I'll take the lead this time, Claudine Saijo!
Kusunoki:
Role of Stephanie, Claudine Saijo.
Kaoruko:Noooooo!
Futaba:C'mon, Kaoruko, there's no need to get so upset about it.
Kaoruko:There is... I am in such shock I can't even stand...
Kusunoki:
Role of Lila, Nana Daiba. Role of Haile, Futaba Isurugi.
Kusunoki:
Role of the ghost... Kaoruko Hanayagi.
Kaoruko:Oh?!
Kaoruko:Y-Yes!
Futaba:Heh, you got the best part.
Kaoruko:D-Don't be silly... Well, maybe it is, but more than anything it is a chance to show my ability.
Kaoruko:I will put on such a performance that poor Clau-han will be tormented by nightmares!
Nana:"Stephanie, you are loved by the stage. How are you this day?"
Claudine:"Being loved by the stage doesn't mean I'm happy."
Nana:"From the opened maw of hell..."
Nana:"And the darkness unreachable by the spotlight..."
Nana:"And the back of the old theater...echoes despaired weeping."
Claudine:"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Kusunoki:
And, scene.
Kusunoki:
That's it for today's lesson. Isurugi and Hoshimi, we'll be doing the scene with Haile and the theater manager tomorrow.
Got it!
Claudine:Huff, huff...
Nana:Nice job, Clau-chan. Here's a towel.
Claudine:Huh? ...Uh, merci.
Nana:What's wrong, Clau-chan? Was something off about my performance?
Claudine:What? Oh, no, it's not that. Your performance was excellent. A stunning interpretation!
Claudine:I'm just trying to think of how to portray Stephanie better.
Nana:Really? If you say so.
Claudine:I'm going to take a quick shower. I'll get it perfect next time!
Nana:Clau-chan...?
Karen:That was absolutely amazing, Banana! I could feel Lila pushing Stephanie to her wits' end!
Junna:Yeah, Saijo-san's Stephanie looked terrified.
Karen:The scream at the end was perfect!
Nana:I know.
Huh?
Nana:It was perfect... It makes me wonder what's wrong with Clau-chan.
Claudine:*sigh*
Claudine:...That was awful. There was no horror in my Stephanie at all.
Claudine:I need a real scream of terror, like my soul itself is screaming out...
Claudine:Compared to what I felt then, this is an obvious fake feeling.
Claudine:I need to remember how I felt then, the terror creeping up my spine...
Claudine:.....
Claudine:.....
Claudine:..."How I felt then"?
Claudine:I was Stephanie when we did "Ghost of the Theater" in our first year. I haven't performed or seen it since then.
Claudine:But then, where have I heard these lines... ?
Claudine:Whose lines were they...?
Claudine:.....
Claudine:It's so strange... It feels like there's something off recently... But what?
Claudine:Something off...? No, more like...
Claudine:...Something is missing.
Claudine:Something...is missing.
Claudine:No... SomeONE is missing.
Claudine:.....
Claudine:....."Being loved by the stage doesn't mean I'm happy."
Claudine:......
Claudine:"Stephanie, you are loved by the stage. How are you this day?"
Claudine:.....!
Claudine:Why...? Lila's lines are said by Nana... But I've said them before...!
Claudine:When? To whom... ? Who was Stephanie...?
Claudine:Ack...!
Claudine:What was that...?!
Claudine:Who is that? The ghost of the theater?
Claudine:No... It's...
Claudine:"I'll end the curse of the Brioschi Family myself."
Claudine:"You Brioschi kids all seem to think guns are toys, waving them around like--"
Claudine:"Bang!"
Claudine:"The price of underestimating the daughter of Don Brioschi is a heavy one!"
Claudine:.....
Claudine:"I belong only on the stage."
Claudine:"Nobody will look at me if I leave the stage. Applause is my music. The smell of burning passion is my sustenance."
Claudine:.....
Claudine:"I'm sorry, Flora... Our dream...will not come true."
Claudine:Huff... Huff... I know... I'm a Stage Girl.
Claudine:They're my lines, but they're not! Whose are they?! Who is it?!
Claudine:Whose lines were my lines?! Who...am I being made to perform for?!
Claudine:I'm...being made to perform? For someone who isn't there...?
Claudine:That's not... That's not possible!
Claudine:We haven't even determined a winner yet! You can't just go and disappear!
Claudine:I won't lose to you!
????:
...Exactement.
Claudine:...Maya Tendo!
Elle:The performance...has been cut short.
Claudine:...You!
"Maya Tendo" Erased part 3
Karen:Yeah, on the last day of summer training, Mahiru-chan... Hey, what?! Where are we?!
Junna:A theater...? The same one as when "Starlight" almost disappeared...!
Elle:.....
Claudine:You brought us here, didn't you? Elle, was it?
Claudine:What are you after? Why have you been making us perform?
Nana:Huh...? Clau-chan, what do you mean...?
Elle:.....
Claudine:Answer me, Elle!
Elle:...Where are you?
Claudine:Huh?
Elle:Where are you, Andrew? Andrew!
Andrew:Here I am!
Futaba:Whoa, what's that?!
Karen:Oh, I know him! He runs a weird shop... An...An...Anthony?
Andrew:That's Andrew, Karen Aijo.
Futaba:That's a huge costume... Or is it just a stuffed animal? Like Mr. White or Suzudaru Cat?
Don't group them with that thing.
Futaba:I'm sorry.
Andrew:That thing? How rude!
Andrew:I'm a cute mole, and everybody digs me!
Futaba:A mole...? You're supposed to be a mole?
Kaoruko:What part of you is supposed to be cute? Your face is squished and you're a weird color.
Andrew:You don't see my cuteness?! You have no eye for beauty, Kyoto Girl!
Kaoruko:E-Excuse me?! Don't bring Kyoto into this! I'll have you know my eyes know beauty better than anyone's!
Kaoruko:You're vile... Who is hiding in that costume?! Take it off so I can see your face!
Andrew:Never! Don't touch me!
Andrew:Sorry I'm late, Elle. I had to make sure my hair was in order.
Elle:Get yourself together!
Elle:All right, then... Welcome to the stage of Re LIVE.
Karen:Stage of...Re LIVE?
Claudine:"The performance has been cut short." That's what you said.
Elle:I did.
Futaba:What are you talking about, Clau-ko?! What's going on? Is "Starlight" about to disappear again?!
Claudine:Something close to that.
Claudine:We've...been made to perform on a stage...that's missing someone. Isn't that right?
Nana:Someone's missing...?
Elle:.....
Elle:You Stage Girls always impress. Isn't that right, Andrew?
Andrew:Stage Girls do always impress, Elle. They'd have to, having climbed onto the stage as they have...
Kaoruko:Quit talking like you're all in on some big secret! Just say what you want to say!
Andrew:*sigh*... You're so impatient, Kyoto Girl.
Kaoruko:I already told you not to bring Kyoto into this!
Andrew:I hate impatient Kyoto girls.
Kaoruko:W-Why do you hate me?! You look like a squished moldy dorayaki, you stupid mole!
Andrew:A-A squished moldy dorayaki?! There are some things you just shouldn't say!
Futaba:Quit fighting, you children...
Futaba:Clau-ko, leave those two alone! What do you mean someone is missing?
Claudine:Maya Tendo... We're being made to perform our lives without her.
Nana:Maya... Tendo...?
Karen:Maya... Tendo...? Why does that give me chills...?
Kaoruko:I've never heard that name, but at the same time, I feel like I have... What a strange feeling...
Nana:That person...has disappeared? From our stage--
Elle:That...is Re LIVE.
.....?!
Elle:Right now, the story of this world, the stage ofthis world, the drama of this world...are being corroded by the Korosu, and are in danger of disappearing.
Elle:For that reason...you must stand on stage, and erase the Korosu.
Karen:Erase...the Korosu?
Mahiru:Korosu are the things that tried to stop us when "Starlight" was about to disappear, right...?
Elle:The Korosu are the moving chorus of the stage. The only ones who can stand on that stage are Stage Girls...
Andrew:And Maya Tendo was chosen by the stage to play the lead.
Kaoruko:She was chosen by the stage? What does that mean?
Andrew:*sigh* You're not the brightest Stage Girl, are you?
Andrew:To be chosen by the stage means that she disappears from the stage you're on.
Kaoruko:How was I supposed to know that?!
Nana:Wait! Because she disappeared from our stage...she's disappeared from our memories?
Claudine:Yes, she has disappeared. We're on a stage without her in our lives, even now...
Claudine:Elle, where is she...?! Where is Maya Tendo?!
Elle:...On that stage.
Marivera:
"I am General of the Sun Nation, Mariavera il Sole! This is the greatest sword of the Sun Nation!"
Marivera:
"I offer it so that this power may, with no hatred, bring an end to this fighting!"
Claudine:That line... That costume... It's from "The Wartime of Farewells"!
Nana:The Korosu are corroding "The Wartime of Farewells"? It's going to disappear?!
Elle:That is correct.
Elle:In order to save that stage...to erase the Korosu, she is wearing that outfit...and standing on that stage.
Kaoruko:Oh, come ON! Explain what you mean by "erased"!
Andrew:YOU come on, you dullard.
Andrew:It means removing the Korosu's role from the play to protect the drama that's been corroded!
Kaoruko:How was I supposed to know that?!
Elle:If the Korosu are not erased, the play will vanish... Both from people's memories, and its very existence.
Hikari:...Like what almost happened to "Starlight"?
Elle:Exactly. Right, Andrew?
Andrew:Exactly right, Elle.
Elle:Erase the Korosu, protect the performance, and play it again as it is supposed to be... That is the only way to protect a performance.
Elle:That...is Re LIVE.
Claudine:Re LIVE...
Claudine:Then if we erase the Korosu, and perform "Re LIVE"...
Elle:The story will be saved, and any Stage Girls playing any roles will be released. Right, Andrew?
Andrew:Right, Elle.
Karen:What do we do?! What should we do?!
Futaba:There isn't much choice at all...is there?
Kaoruko:You want me to get on some weird stage to save someone who I don't even know? It seems fishy to me.
Mahiru:But you felt something when you heard the name...
Hikari:I...feel like I know her too.
Claudine:...Yes, we have no time to think about it!
Nana:Clau-chan, what are you doing?!
Claudine:...You know the answer! THIS!
Claudine:...You know the answer! THIS!
Elle:She.. jumped onto the stage!
Claudine:(That perfect posture... That excessively groomed hair...)
Claudine:(This feeling of irritation... I'd forgotten it! I feel it again, seeing her on stage without me!)
Mariavera:
"Ugh... There are too many enemies...!"
Mariavera:
"...I can't fall here...!"
????:
"Hah! YOU are the famed General of the Sun Nation, Mariavera il Sole? You are a disgrace!"
Mariavera:
"....?!"
Mariavera:
"Y-you...!"
Claudia:
"I am Claudia Schwarzwolf, Knight of the Black Lion Nation! I am here to help the Sun Nation in its time of crisis!"
Mariavera:
"You... You're the orphan of the Black Lion Nation... Claudia!"
Claudia:
"Even you've heard of me...? It seems word of me has spread like wildfire."
Mariavera:
"Wh...Why? Why would a knight of the Black Lion Nation...?!"
Sun Nation Knights:
"General Mariavera! We're here as well!"
Sun Nation Knights:
"The enemy that's appeared... It knows no nation!"
Sun Nation Knights:
"General! We'll stop their advance here!"
Mariavera:
"Knights of the Sun Nation! How...?!"
????:
"This isn't over yet."
Catalina:
"My words can move both the Black Lion Nation and the Sun Nation."
Mariavera:
"C...Catalina Leopardo!"
Mariavera:
"You've come to... No, you betrayed the Sun Nation... Your words move nothing!"
Catalina:
"Now now, I hardly think this is the time to bring up the past."
Sun Nation Knights:
"It's a cease-fire then!"
Black Lion Nation Knights:
"Heh heh, just don't start complaining if I happen to hit you!"
Black Lion Nation Knights:
"Two quarreling nations joining hands to fight alongside one another... This may be fate."
Sun Nation Knights:
"An enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? We will all do a charge attack!"
Mariavera:
"Knights of the Sun Nation and Black Lion Nation...fighting side by side...!"
Claudia:
"And you? How long are you going to be down on your knees?"
Claudia:
"Rise, Mariavera il Sole! We have cleaning to do!"
Mariavera:
"Nngh... You don't need to tell me that!"
Claudia:
"Huff... Huff... That's all of them."
Mariavera:
"Huff... Huff... I won't thank you for helping me."
Claudia:
"I didn't intend to help you. I just didn't want to see you defeated by such filth."
Claudia:
"The interlopers have been eliminated. Now...we duel!"
Mariavera:
"Duel?!"
Claudia:
"I sharpen my blade and hone my soul in the pursuit of a single goal."
Claudia:
"The title of the mightiest warrior--Stärkste!"
Claudia:
"You are famed as the strongest warrior, Sun Nation General Mariavera il Sole."
Claudia:
"If I defeat you, I will become the strongest... I, Claudia Schwarzwolf!"
Mariavera:
"You'd fight for such a petty reason...?!"
Claudia:
"What better reason could there be?"
Claudia:
"I will defeat you...! Haaaah!"
Claudia:
"Position Zero! C'est moi, la star!"
Maya:.....!
Elle:This concludes today's performance.
Elle:Please be sure you don't forget any of your personal belongings. We hope to see you again soon.
Claudine:The performance...is over.
Maya:Yes... We performed "The Wartime of Farewells" to the very end.
Maya:That was quite a performance, Knight of the Black Lion Nation, Claudia Schwarzwolf. No...Claudine Saijo.
Claudine:I performed excellently... La perfection... Truly.
Maya:Heh heh...
Claudine:Heh ♪
Claudine:The curtain's fallen. It's time to leave!
Claudine:Everyone is waiting...on stage. Our stage!
Claudine:Let's go...Maya Tendo!
Maya:...Let's!
Karen:Bwahhhhhhhh, Tendo-saaaaan! You're baaaaaaaack!
Maya:Aijo-san...
Karen:I'm sorry! Tendo-san, I'm so sorry I forgot yooouuuu!
Maya:There's no need for you to apologize, Aijo-san. And please don't use my sleeve to wipe your tears...
Nana:It's just a relief we were able to finish the performance... It's good to have you back, Maya-chan ♪
Welcome home!
Maya:Thank you, everyone.
Claudine:Truly... Next time say something before you disappear.
Maya:I would have if it had been possible.
Claudine:Hmph!
Futaba:It feels like it's been a while since I've seen these two at it like this!
Mahiru:Yeah, it's kind of a relief.
Hikari:But... I'd forgotten how it feels.
Junna:Rather than having forgotten it, it's more like we were being made to perform in a world in which she never existed...
Claudine:Until we found out, of course.
Hikari:It's just like what happened with "Starlight"...
Elle:Yes... However...
Elle:Performances are disappearing even now. Right, Andrew?
Andrew:Right, Elle. Another performance is probably fading away as we speak.
Karen:It wasn't just "Starlight" then...!
Elle:We still don't know where the Korosu come from, or why the performances disappear...
Elle:But...I want to keep them safe.
Elle:There is nothing I love more than dramas born from the stage. I don't want to let them disappear...no matter what.
Elle:But I can't stand on the stage...
Kaoruko:Why not? You know so much about it.
Andrew:It's obviously because Elle's not a Stage Girl yet!
Kaoruko:How was I supposed to know that?! ...Hm? "Yet"?
Andrew:You're so blunt with your words... You don't have a shred of delicacy, Kyoto Girl.
Kaoruko:D-Delicacy?!
Kaoruko:I could say the same to you...! Who is hiding in that costume?! Take it off so I can see your face!
Andrew:Ahh, don't touch me! I'm just a cute mole! I'm very anti-violence!
Kaoruko:Nothing about you is cute! You're the color of mold, and your face is abominable, like a squished daifuku... You're an Abominamole!
Andrew:...Huh?
Kaoruko:You're the color of mold, and your face is abominable, just like a squished daifuku! From now on, I'm calling you Abominamole!
Andrew:A-Abominamole?!
Andrew:M-My face is not the color of mold, and it does not look like a squished daifuku! I am not an Abominamole! My eyes do not look like a corpse's!
Kaoruko:I didn't say that last one.
Andrew:Now I'm mad! I'll send you flying with my famous fluffy Mole Punch!
Futaba:I thought you were anti-violence. Just calm down you two. Kaoruko, and Abominamole.
Andrew:Now you' re calling me Abominamole too, short stuff?
Futaba:Who you callin' short stuff?!
Mahiru:All right, I don't think this is the time for all this. So... What do you want us to do?
Elle:...If the Korosu appear again and cause a performance to start disappearing...
Elle:I want you to put on your costumes, stand on stage, and erase the Korosu.
Elle:I want you to save fading stages by performing them, and "Re LIVE"!
Elle:...Please... Save the stories... The dramas...!
Maya:Very well... We'll do it.
Elle:Huh?
Maya:Is there a problem?
Elle:No, just...just like that?
Maya:How can people of the stage like us turn a blind eye to a disappearing play?
Claudine:We can't.
Claudine:If Stage Girls are the only ones who can erase the Korosu, and perform "Re LIVE" on disappearing plays...
Claudine:There is no choice to make.
Maya:...Exactement.
Karen:...Yeah. We have to protect the stage.
Hikari:Yeah... We understand the fear of a play disappearing.
Elle:Thank you...!
Claudine:So... When a play begins to disappear, and someone is brought into the stage, let us know.
Claudine:Making someone disappear without even letting us know...is a big non, non!
Karen:That's my line, Clau-chan!
Maya:Heh heh... Let's do it.
Maya:Let's erase the Korosu, and save plays that need it!
Yeah!
Claudine:...Hey, I wanted to say that, Maya Tendo!
Hahahahaha!
Elle:...Very well.
Elle:When a disturbance occurs in a play and a Stage Girl is brought into a stage, I will let you know immediately.
Junna:Please do.
Junna:Oh, but... I don't know if we'd be able to do it all on our own... Shouldn't we let Stage Girls from other schools know about this too?
Mahiru:You're right. Let's let the girls from Siegfeld, Rinmeikan, and Frontier know too!
Futaba:Looks like things are about to get busy.
Kaoruko:Between the Seisho Festival, Performance Festival, and now erasing the Korosu... When will we get any time to rest?
Futaba:You sleep like a baby at night. You'll be fine.
Kaoruko:I will not be fine!
Elle:.....
Elle:.....
Andrew:Elle... I think it's time.
Elle:Huh? Oh, right... You're right, Andrew.
Elle:This is where we take our leave. Thank you for your performance today.
Andrew:We'll call you when a play's about to disappear!
Andrew:Just be sure to do something about your lack of delicacy before then, Kyoto Girl.
Kaoruko:Huh?! Insulting me again right as you leave...?! Stop, Abominamole! Abominamooole!
Mahiru:...They're gone.
Kaoruko:Grrrrr! What is that Abominamole's problem?!
Kaoruko:Where did he go off to?! Where did he come from?! How does he know so much?!
Maya:I don't know. However...
Maya:He loves plays, and values stories... That much is unmistakable.
Hikari:Yeah... The way he feels about them... Is the same way we feel about "Starlight."
Karen:We can't let them disappear... Yeah.
Karen:We need to keep them safe! The Korosu have to be...en...encased? Defaced?
Mahiru:Erased, Karen-chan.
Karen:Yeah, that! Erase the Korosu! And do "Re LIVE"!
Kaoruko:Why do we have to go to so much trouble...?
Junna:"God helps those who help themselves."
Nana:That's William Shakespeare, right?
Junna:It means that we Stage Girls have to get on stage to prevent plays from disappearing.
Junna:Hanayagi-san, surely you wouldn't want plays like "Sagi Musume" or "Ataka no Matsu" to disappear?
Kaoruko:Wha?! Japanese plays are in danger too?! No! I'll do it! We must keep the plays safe!
Futaba:That's what we've all been saying!
Karen:All right, let's do our best! But, hmm...
Hikari:Is something wrong, Karen?
Karen:We were made to perform on a stage without Tendo-san, right?
Hikari:That's what they said.
Karen:But then... Why was Clau-chan the only one to notice she was gone?
Claudine:!?
Maya:Oh, was she?
Claudine:Uh, I, uh...!
Claudine:Whatever. Let's go!
Maya:Heh... Heh heh heh.
Claudine:What's so funny?!
Maya:Nothing... I'm glad to be home.
Maya:Back on my...on our stage.
