 [Common] Episode 4: I Can't Trust Them Yet

*Cheering*

MC: (Someone's there...)

Maica: Who's there?

MC: Oh, s-sorry!

Maica: ...Hey, you've seen this show a bunch of times now, right?

Maica: ...What do you think of my singing?

MC: It's lovely.

Maica: ...I see. It's not my fault then.

MC: Is something wrong?

Maica: ...It never goes well. Our-Team P's show.

MC: Huh? Really? It's great, though...

Maica: My singing isn't matching up with everyone else's performance, especially Rindou's.

Maica: I keep trying to discuss it with him, but it doesn't go anywhere...

Maica: He must not approve of my singing.

MC: No way. He'd never say that.

Maica: I can tell even if he doesn't say it out loud. We've done this so many times, and we still don't match up.

Maica: Plus, it wasn't Rindou that added me to the team.

MC: Huh? Who was it then?

Maica: I heard it was Kei.

Maica: Starless originally had two teams, and Kei made it three.

Maica: He took Team P's singer, Yoshino, for Team K when he did that.

Maica: Since Team P's singer slot was open and I happened to come along, I got put there.

Maica: I hear that Yoshino and Rindou matched up well.

Maica: ...They should make me Team K's singer, and return Yoshino to Team P.

Maica: ...Yeah. It doesn't have to be me...

MC: Maica-san... I think your singing is wonderful.

Maica: ...Sorry you had to listen to my complaints.

Maica: Deep down, I know things can't go on like this.

Maica: But this is the only way I can sing... I can't kill off my song to accommodate for someone else.
