Even though I knew in my head that both Lenitz and Reid were women, my heart was pounding!
They are really great actresses～!
The script by Mezias-shi is also a good one but above all, the perfection of this women-only troupe is excellent.
The direction is weird but I’m getting used to it and don’t mind it so much anymore.
I would love to see more plays by this troupe and I can’t stop thinking about it.

After that, Lenitz and Reid became husband and wife. They went to the neighboring country to explore the frontier and became the lords of a small village with their old fellow archer Piron.
A small village started by heroes, nice……
『Lenitz, there’s a letter from your parent’s house.』
『A letter? Is the world going to end or something? Eh! This is……』
『What’s wrong?』
『My brother has become ill and died young while my father experienced a heart attack and does not have long to live……it says to return immediately and I’ll became the next patriarch of the family.』
『I see……』
In the country in this story, where only males can be the patriarchs of a family, returning as the next patriarch means abandoning being a woman and returning as a man.
The main character, Lenitz, tears up the letter as Reid looks at him with a sad look on his face, as if foreseeing their parting.
『Lenitz, are you sure?』
『Yes, I am certain. I am no longer the false heir of that viscounty but wife of Reid, the lord of this village. It is not the Taroimont Viscount family that I must protect but my new homeland, this frontier.』
『But……』
『They’re already too late. That’s it.』
As Lenitz tore and threw the letters to shreds, the wind blew across the stage as if to take it away.
『Blowing wind, deliver this to my hometown. It’s all too late.』
With those words, the curtain fell on the stage.
The audience, who ridiculed this play earlier, broke into a loud applause.
From the audience, several light magic spells shoot out to express their admiration.
Of course, I stood up and applauded as loudly as I could and then, shot a strip of golden light, the color of Lenitz’ hair, toward the stage.
They are a truly magnificent troupe!
At first, I thought it was a joke given that they were all women but they are beautiful, robust, and excellent……an, it was like a dream……
If I could, I would have invested in this troupe!
「I think that was pretty interesting, what do you think?」
「Yes, I agree. At first, I was a bit taken aback seeing they were all women……」
「I thought it was a bad joke at first but it turned out to be surprisingly glamourous and good.」
「Father, husband, let’s watch again! Let’s watch again while we’re still in Torquiva!」
「Eh? How about……I invite your mother and have us all watch again?」
「Yes, you should. I want mother to see how good this play is desu wa..」
「Oya, the curtain has opened again. Is there going to be a curtain call?」
「Ara! True desu wa!」
As the curtain rose on the stage, the three main actresses of “Rainbow Tail” came running onto the stage.
They bowed deeply to the thunderous applause and retreated backstage.
Ah, are they leaving already?
One after another, the actresses appeared and bowed but there’s no sign of the main actresses.
I wondered if they would come out again later.
That’s what I thought but in the end, they did not come out of the stage again.

「Oya, when the play’s over, the moving stairs are now in a descending direction. Very convenient.」
As father said, the moving stairs that were going up earlier are now going down.
Yeah, it’s a little tiring to go up to the fourth floor but I can’t say the same when going down……
I wonder if it will be harder for me to go down the stairs when I get a little older.
「Who in the world is Yomanes-sama?」
「Have you seen her in any other play?」
「No but that kind of flamboyant lady shouldn’t be someone unknown……」
「I have a friend who’s a play expert. He is the son of the furniture store owner where I worked……how about we start there?」
「Maa! That’s reassuring」
「I’d love to, please!」
