Mito
Wow...amazing. Once they opened the doors, so many people...

Towa
Haah~, it's lively this year too.

Towa
We've finished rehearsal, so it's free time now, right? Shall we go around somewhere?

Kamira
Hey, Mitorin, Towa~!

Mito
It's Kamira-chan.

Kamira
Great, we could meet up! Isn't the venue incredible!?

Kamira
There are shows happening everywhere, and giant figures on display~

Kamira
I don't really understand games, but the festival atmosphere is extreme and gets me pumped!

Mito
Yeah, Mito thinks so too. It's kind of like...a theme park.

Kamira
Just looking around gets me excited~! I'll take lots of photos and post them in Denki's group chat.

Kamira
Oh right, shall we take a photo of the three of us? We're right in front of the "Phantasma" booth!

Game Producer
Would you like me to take it for you?

Kamira
Ah! Thank you very much. ...Wait, this person...

Mito
Ah...! The "Phantasma" producer. Thank you for having us today!

Game Producer
Thank you for accepting our sudden request. I actually wanted to offer this earlier, but things got hectic.

Towa
Ah~ that's how it is before an update... Well, our performances have settled down, so it's totally okay.

Game Producer
That's a relief. We often watch Motosu-san's streams, and really wanted to invite you.

Towa
Hmm-hmm-hmm... Well? You can expect good things from me~

Game Producer
And Shiromaru-san too. Actually, we saw "A Midsummer Night's Dream." We were amazed by your acting skills. We're really looking forward to your cosplay.

Mito
Eh? You saw our play and offered me the job because of that...?

Game Producer
That's right. Your Helena role was wonderful. I became a fan, so I'll come see you perform again!

Game Producer
Wow, to have the members of "Gekidan Denki" promote our title...I'm really happy. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Mito
Ehehe... Thank you very much.

Towa
Ooh~... That game has a demo too. I wonder if we have time to line up?

Towa
Or rather, is it impossible without a ticket...?

Kamira
Man, that producer was really praising Mitorin.

Mito
Not really. It might have been just courtesy. I was a bit surprised that they watched our play, though.

Mito
Since I haven't been to many cosplay events like Iroha-chan, I was wondering why they requested me.

Towa
Ah, now that you mention it, Mito does have an atmosphere that would suit "Dina," don't you think?

Kamira
That character, she's the cool beauty with the electrically charged sword, right?

Kamira
When I first heard about it, I thought "Isn't that difficult to cosplay!?" But now that I think about it, I can totally imagine Mitorin pulling it off.

Mito
Really...? Mito has used her in the game and likes her a lot, so I was a little happy when I heard about the request.

Mito
But...I'm a bit scared of standing on stage.

Towa
Why?

Mito
Because there are so many people in the venue... And it's my first time at Game Festa, so...

Kamira
Ah, now that you mention it, that's true! There are definitely more people here than at the Halloween cosplay contest we did before.

Mito
Yeah... There's no skit this time, but I need to do my best not to disappoint the audience.

Towa
Geez, it's not a stage play but an event, and the main focus is the game update announcement, so you don't need to be so tense.

Towa
Ah! Speaking of which, there was a stage I wanted to see. Let's go to that booth over there.

Mito
Ah...! Towa-chan, wait...!

Towa
Phew, we made it in time.

Kamira
Ah, the stage you wanted to see is that RPG that had a PV released recently.

Kamira
...Wait, isn't that Chiho-chan!?

Mito
You're right. Looks like voice actors are appearing as guests.

Towa
Ugh...!?

Chiho
Hello everyone~

Towa
Having to see her face even in a place like this... Well, it's fine since I won't have to talk to her today, just watch the announcement...

MC
Now, before we talk with the development team, please take a look at this footage!

Towa
Oh, here it comes, the new PV!

Chiho
...!

Towa
...Oh. Ohhh...

Mito
...?

Chiho
...

Mito
...U-um, is it just me? Is Chiho-chan looking this way?

Kamira
No way she noticed Towa...right?

Towa
Huh? We're so far away, that's impossible.

MC
Alright, now let's hear from Komae Chiho-san, who plays the newly revealed character "Pina"!

Chiho
Hello everyone, I'm Komae Chiho. Despite being an actor by profession, I'm very honored to have been given such a valuable opportunity.

Chiho
This is my first time trying voice acting, but I believe it's a chance for me to grow significantly.

Chiho
I put my all into this performance so that I could get closer to the performer I admire very much, so thank you all for your support.

Kamira
Haah~, she's so composed...hard to believe she's in elementary school.

MC
We can really feel your wonderful enthusiasm!

MC
By the way, this performer you admire...I'm curious. Can you tell us their name?

Chiho
Yes. It's Motosu Towa-chan from Gekidan Denki!

Towa
Huh...!?

Mito
Wow...

Mito
Chiho-chan really does...about Towa-chan...

MC
Oh, I thought so! You mentioned her name on some program before, didn't you?

Chiho
Yes! In "Alice in Wonderland," she played an innocent yet brave girl, which was amazing, but-

Chiho
Her performance as Princess Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was also wonderful. She showed the comical yet complex love situation so well...she was really impressive.

MC
I see, I see. Now I'm curious too~ I hope those words reach her in person!

Chiho
Yes!

Towa
That girl, always doing unnecessary things~... It's only natural to have respect for my acting, but...!

Kamira
Hey hey, didn't Chiho-chan just clearly look this way?

Mito
Mito...thinks so too.

Towa
Seriously? That's kind of scary...

Towa
I don't want to be the centre of attention in a weird way, so I'll hide just in case.

Kamira
Hey...hiding inside my clothes isn't okay! Pfft-that tickles!
