Conspiracy

 **Akira:**A picnic? Why a picnic?

 **Akira:**Does she have something special in mind? But why on earth would she want to go on a picnic?

 **Akira:**I'm so puzzled. What could Michiru be thinking?

 **Akira:**There's no need to socialize here at Siegfeld. And definitely no need for a picnic.

 **Akira:**That's why I cannot comprehend this at all. Why does Michiru want to have a picnic?

 **Akira:**Is she trying to keep me from making my own schedule?

 **Michiru:**Were you saying something rude about me? Overthinking what I said? Oh, come on.

 **Akira:**So you heard me, Michiru. In that case, let me ask you directly.

 **Akira:**Why do you want us to go on a picnic? Do we need this?

 **Michiru:**It's for the sake of "Elysion." I wouldn't have suggested it just for fun!

 **Akira:**For "Elysion"? A picnic?

 **Michiru:**You've noticed, haven't you? That everyone can't really be themselves around you.

 **Michiru:**Commanding their respect is great, but it's a problem if the Edels are intimidated when you're around.

 **Michiru:**It's obvious, really. We won't be able to master "Elysion" like this when it hinges on expressing subtle changes of heart.

 **Michiru:**That's why we need to close the distance between you and the others. I'm using the picnic for that.

 **Akira:**I see... That's what it's for.

 **Michiru:**Well, I doubt you'd go out of your way to be friendly, but the least you can do is show up and enjoy it!

 **Akira:**Understood.

 **Michiru:**Great! Since I've got some other things to prepare, I'm going to leave you in charge of providing the food!

 **Akira:**I-I'm in charge of the food!? ...Very well. I shall do my utmost to procure it!

Growing Together

 **Akira:**Being with a person who never smiles, and hoping to make them smile again...

 **Akira:**The person has been hurt, and has closed off their heart. How can you make them open up again?

 **Akira:**It may seem an impossible task, but not to the Celestial Goddess...

 **Akira:**I have been entrusted with the role of the Celestial Goddess.

 **Akira:**It's a difficult role, but there's no role I cannot play. I will rise to the challenge.

 **Akira:**"Elysion," set in paradise in the mythical times, is a special play to us at Siegfeld Institute of Music.

 **Akira:**It's a tradition at our school for the five students bearing the title of Edel to put on this play for the public each year.

 **Akira:**We've just finished discussing this year's performance. It's nothing new for us, of course.

 **Akira:**I will be the Celestial Goddess, the most important role of the five goddesses.

 **Akira:**She likes to keep herself entertained, traveling around here and there.

 **Akira:**At first, she is oblivious to the feelings of others, but she learns about them following encounters with the other goddesses.

 **Akira:**In other words, it's a story of the Celestial Goddess discovering feelings and emotions, thus becoming more mature.

 **Akira:**It will be the second time I play this role, but this time it will be a true challenge for me.

 **Akira:**Up till now, I haven't placed much value on social interactions. I was too absorbed in becoming the best.

 **Akira:**As a result, I am confident no one can surpass me when it comes to technique. But as a person... I'm lacking in many ways.

 **Akira:**Last year's "Elysion" received high praise. My role in particular was said to be played notably well.

 **Akira:**But looking back on it now, I see that it was due to the Earth Goddess making it all come together, harmonizing with my style.

 **Akira:**That's why this time I'd like to make this journey of discovery together with my character, to play her perfectly.

 **Akira:**Michiru has been telling me to do this, but this time I also want to do it myself.

 **Akira:**Michiru wants to create the ultimate theater troupe, with me as her top performer. So her expectations are high.

 **Akira:**She's demanding, but she knows what she's talking about when it comes to acting.

 **Akira:**This time I want to go one step further towards that dream together with Michiru.

 **Akira:**This year's performance will certainly be wonderful. You can rest assured of that.

 **Akira:**See you at the show.

 **Akira:**This performance is very special for Siegfeld, and for me... I hope you will come to cherish it as well.

 **Akira:**I remember the first time we performed this play. It was a life-changing experience for me--it felt like a jolt of electricity.

 **Akira:**It wasn't only me. I'm sure Michiru felt it, too. In fact, we started spending more time together since that performance.

 **Akira:**"Elysion" gave me something irreplaceable. I'll put everything I have into my performance, and hopefully it will have a similar impact on you.
