Ch. 6 ~ Alice in Wonderland
Kaname: I'll be announcing the rest of the cast.
The White Rabbit, Shiromaru Mito.
Mito: Eeehh!? Mi-Mito?
Iroha: Waah! Congratulations!
It's perfect for Mito-chan's name, too!
Kaname: Not just her name, we properly considered her acting abilities as well.
Next, Mad Hatter, Senju Iroha. Queen of Hearts, Akiru Kamira.
Iroha: Ooohh~ I'll be the hatter!
I'll come up with a lot of riddles for Towa-chan!
Kamira: M-me, as the Queen of Hearts!?
By "Queen," you mean that queen, right!?
Kaname: Alice's older sister, Nekoashi Tsubomi.
The Card Soldiers, starting from A—
Tsubomi: Alice's older sister, huh? A fitting role for myself.
Certainly, the part where she gets lost in the world of nightmares and targeted by the Dark Organization—
Kaname: This time, we aren't doing that kind of Alice~
We're doing a genuine, orthodox Denki-style "Alice"~
Towa: The instant you say "Denki-style," it isn't orthodox anymore...
Kaname: Stop complaining~ Now, next~
Kaname: — Okay, that's the entire cast!
If anyone wants a different role, let me know.
Towa: Me! I want to be Card Soldier D!
I will become a Card Soldier that will go down in history!
Kaname: Except Towa~
Towa: Oppression!
Machiko: I already said we're selling you as the focus this time.
We're gonna do what we can to follow up on this trend.
Kaname: We're gonna stream practice, do candid shots, interviews for pamphlets...
We're still coming up with ideas. We'll decide while consulting with everyone.
Towa: Ugeh...
Kaname: Don't be like that. We're making a video out of the casting decision, after all.
You've gotta make the fans happy by surprising them with your charm.
Towa: Lying like that is a bit...
Kaname: Ah. Hmmmm? We recorded that scene just now,
so, we'll use that one, okay?
Towa: I apologize. Please let me retake it.
Kaname: Very good.
Mito: U, um...
Kaname: What, you have a problem with the White Rabbit?
Mito: Just because... Our names are similar, is it okay to receive such on important role?
I wonder if... Mito can do it...
Iroha: It'll be fine!
You'd definitly make a a cute White Rabbit-pyopyon!
Kamira: Yeah, yeah, no need to worry.
I also want to try being a bunny girl.
Mito: Bu, bunny girl...!?
Kaname: No, no. It'll be a proper "Alice" White Rabbit.
Kamira: F'real!? Since it's Denki, I thought we'd at least do a bunny girl...
Costume Person: It's "Alice," after all. I suppose I'll just have to resign myself here.
But, I'll make sure to make to make Mito-chan a dazzlingly kyute outfit!
Kaname: I can't deny that selling the similarity between your names was part of our calculations.
However, as I said earlier, we believe you can do it. Do your best.
Mito: Y-Yes...!
Kamira: Or, like, I'm super nervous about my role...
The Queen of Hearts is like the last boss, right? ... Isn't that kinda harsh?
Machiko: It seems like some of you are nervous, but don't worry.
Denki has the one who was recognized as the future of Olympus: Towa.
Towa: Wai— Boss!? What're you saying!?
Machiko: Despite how she looks, she's had a long career and accumulated a lot of experience.
She'll definitely pull everyone up! Don't worry and rely on her!
Towa: What nonsense—
Machiko: I leave it to you, Troupe Leader.
Denki Troupe Members: Pleased to be working with you, Troupe Leader!
Towa: ——————————.
Towa: — Ah, geez, fine! I got it!
I'll do it! I just have to do it, right!?
Denki Troupe Members: Yaaay!
Towa: ... Anyways, this script. It doesn't have Humpty Dumpty, though?
Is it okay, taking out such a famous character?
Kaname: You... Humpty Dumpty is from "Through the Looking-glass."
Kaname: To think we'd have to start from reteaching the source material.
It seems we'll have to be Spartan in our training.
Towa: Geh... I stirred up the hornet's nest...
