>...but...

>But?

>...Why do they fall in love with each other even though they're supposed to be enemies...
>Feeling love for your enemy...
>is something I can't comprehend...
>She's worried that she won't be able to perform realistically -vi

>I see.
>It's that thing where you have trouble sympathising with the character you play, right?
>Back in our elementary school, I was Romeo while Rikka played Juliet but...
>Even though it's a romantic tragedy
>Mana's ad-libbing turned it into a laugh-out-loud comedy.

p2
>I mean, to cross paths only to meet with an ultimely death was just something I couldn't stand for.
>I was pretty disgruntled at how fickle your Romeo was.
>That sounds a lot like you two.

>...Mana has
>a strange power that charms others

>Thanks to that, her "friend harem" just keeps on getting bigger!
>Getting along with everyone is my number one thing after all<3 ahahaha

>Kyaha
>I really like that about you, Mana!
>I'll let you be my friend<3

>Okay?
>I'll undeo the transformation -bi

>Ma~na!
>Would you like to be
>my friend?

>Sure.
>We can be friends.

>Wait! Mana!
>Are you for real? She's the enemy, isn't she!?
>You saw it, didn't you!? The horrible state the Trump Kingdom was left in!!
>Yeah...but...this girl...erm...seems kinda different or something...less detestable or something.

>I have absolutely no idea
>what the heck you are thinking, Mana!

p4
>Makopi~~~

>You understand, right? Makopi's feelings.
>Yeah... Of course she'd get mad...

>Oh quit whining!
>Let's go play, Mana<3

>We've got a difficult problem on our hands...
>Even the daughter of our enemy is attracted to her.
>That's too much even for Mana's "friendship power"!

>...It's been like this ever since...
>Aren't you tired of being pulled around yet, Mana?

p5
>Makopi<3

>It's fine! Step on it!! Quickly!!!
>Makopi~

>She won't answer no matter how much I call -sharu
>My calls won't even reach her anymore...

>Makopi totally hates you now... What now?
>Hau~ Makopi~
>She's working hard... practising her play, huh?

>How do you feel, Mana-chan?
>You need to probably tell Makopi-san
>what's on your mind.

>Yotsuba Theater
>No entry while the play is in progress

>...Huh?...
>This is bad. The performance is about to begin
>and she still won't show herself.
>I'm really sorry.
>...Should we use a stand-in...?

>Eeh!?
>She's shut herself in!?

p6
>Even though she could've turned down this role...I pushed Makoto to accept it...
>Makoto, please!
>Come out!

>Makopi...

>Just what am I doing...causing everyone problems like this...

>I really can't do it
>Enemies? Friends? There's no way I can accept this..
>I don't want to stay mad, but there's no way I can like her!

>Aaah...
>What am I supposed to do!?

>Hey! Get off! Get down from there!
>What are you doing, Mana!?
>That's dangerous!!

>...What?

>Makopi!

>Mana!!...
>Makopi~!!

p7
>Thank goodness! Makopi the Sun Goddess has finally emerged!!
>Wh-Why are you doing something so reckless!

>I just...
>wanted to see you, Makopi~<3
>So you say
>Even though you're so devoted to that girl who's our enemy!!...

>...Makopi.
>Sure, Regina is the daughter of the enemy
>But y'see...
>When that girl said "we're friends"
>it didn't feel like she was lying.
>It surprised me too...
>I know it's natural that you wouldn't accept it, but...

>Hey...Makopi...
>is it wrong to become friends with someone
>if they're your enemy?....

>What kind of play is this?
>Who knows...

>Just go home!
>I've got some rehearsing to do.
>...I'll see you at the play.
>Makopi!

>...The day of the performance.
>Two households
>both alike in dignity

p8
>Fwah
>This is boring
>Shh

>Mana faced Regina with her pure feelings.
>That's right... Mana never backs down for anyone...
>If me and Regina had met without knowing we were enemies...
>What would have happened, I wonder...

>To think that the man I love was my hated enemy~
>What should I do with this love~?
>Is it wrong to love an enemy~
>Oh Romeo
>Romeo

p9
>Wherefore art thou Romeo
>I want to directly transmit these honest feelings!

>You did it!
>It was wonderful!
>Makopi! I was so moved!! My heart skipped a beat<3

>Thanks!
>I'm glad the opening day went without a hitch.

>...In regards to Regina... I'm still can't forgive her so easily...
>...but

>I figured...I should be like Mana and face things head on...
>Makopi!!

>Hey, you done yet!?
>Let's go play, Mana<3
>...Even this selfish brat...will surely... surely...
>I guess fully accepting this ain't gonna be easy.
