Mito
...Alright, that should do it. I've reviewed the areas that will likely be on the makeup exam, and I think I can explain it to Iroha-chan...

Mito
...Ah.

TV Host
Now today, we'd like to hear from Komae Chiho-san, a promising up and coming actor carrying the future of Gekidan Olympus!

Chiho
Thank you.

Mito
Chiho-chan...she's appearing on TV too. Amazing...

Commentator
I hear you're also challenging yourself as a voice actor in a new game. My, your talent knows no bounds.

Chiho
Not at all. There are many wonderful seniors, so I still have a long way to go. But I'm very grateful to have received the offer.

Commentator
I believe the character in the game is also set as an actor, right? I heard they specifically offered it to you because of that.

Chiho
You know about that. We do share the same background in that regard. The game itself is an RPG...set in a fantasy world.

TV Host
Getting involved in a new genre of work seems like it will expand your artistic range. I hear you'll also be appearing on stage at the game festival "Game Festa."

Mito
Eh, really...!? Amazing...

TV Host
With all eyes on Komae-san's future, let's first take a look at footage from Olympus's recent performance! Please watch!

Mito's Grandmother
Mito-chan, the bath is ready~

Mito
Ah...

Mito
Okay!

Mito
Iroha-chan, today we're studying English...right?

Iroha
Yes...

Mito
You don't seem very energetic today... Did you study until late...yesterday too?

Iroha
Of course I did...! I can't fail the make up exam and cause trouble for everyone...!

Mito
Y-yeah...Mito will teach you with all her might too...!

Iroha
Thank you! I'm sorry for troubling you. How blessed am I to have such good friends...

Kamira
Mitorin~ Kaname-san says she wants to talk to you a bit.

Mito
Eh? Just Mito...?

Kamira
Seems that way. She said she's waiting in the office.

Iroha
Please go ahead, Mito-chan. I'll review what I understand first.

Mito
Okay.

Kaname
Sorry for calling you out before practice.

Mito
No problem.

Mito
...Huh? Towa-chan too?

Towa
Oh, so it's Mito too.

Kaname
Yes. I called you both here because we've received a job offer. Could you first look through these materials?

Mito
"Phantasma" major update...stage appearance? This is...?

Towa
Huh? Could it be, "Game Festa"!?

Kaname
That's right. What I want to talk to you two about is a request for a stage appearance at a company exhibiting at the upcoming "Game Festa."

Towa
Eh...seriously? A first playable demo at the "Phantasma" booth stage...

Towa
Hah!? You mean I can play it earlier than any other user!?

Kaname
You can, Towa, yes. You'll actually play the game and share your impressions with the audience, as a guest and commentator. Mito, you've been requested as an official cosplayer.

Towa
Haaaah~! And this is the map I've been curious about~!!! I'll do it! I'll definitely accept the offer!

Mito
Official cosplayer...? Me...? Why...?

Kaname
You were personally requested by them. I got extra entrance tickets for Game Festa, so why not invite Iroha and the others too?

Mito
Ah...

Mito
Yes.

Iroha
Eeeeeeeeeh!!!!! Mito-chan will be an official cosplayer at GameFes!?

Mito
U-um, yeah.

Iroha
A-a-a-and Towa-chan will be talking with the developers! That's incredible!

Towa
Hmm-hmm. With my influence, isn't it natural?

Towa
Well, it might also be because I've been appealing to the officials lately, wanting to experience it early...

Iroha
Even so, to actually receive an offer...! Your passion must have reached them!

Tsubomi
Motosu, I'm surprised you want to accept this kind of job...? I was sure you'd find it troublesome.

Towa
Hm? I'll have an advantage having played the game first, especially for maps where people are theorising strategies.

Kamira
Ahaha, so that's what it is. Well, that's just like Towa.

Kamira
Hey, there are extra tickets for GameFes, right? I want to go too!

Kamira
I mean, don't you all want to see Towa and Mitorin on stage!? Let's join as audience members and cheer them on!

Iroha
Wow, that sounds great! It sounds really fun!

Tsubomi
That is indeed a good idea, but...

Tsubomi
Senju, aren't you in an important period with your make up exam coming up?

Iroha
Eek!

Iroha
That's right... It's very unfortunate, but I probably won't be able to go...

Mito
Yeah... And, Mito is also...hesitating about performing.

Kamira
Ehhh!?

Towa
Hah!? Why!?

Mito
Because Iroha-chan passing the make up exam is more important...and I think there are many cosplayers better than Mito...

Iroha
Wait a minute, Mito-chan!

Mito
W-what?

Iroha
The company specifically requested you, right?

Iroha
They must...really want you to appear.

Iroha
I'm very happy that you're worried about me...but I want you to go without worrying. I'll be fine!

Mito
But...

Tsubomi
Shiromaru has been supporting Senju's studies. But that's not necessarily something only she can do.

Towa
Right, right. For studying, can't Tsubomi teach her instead?

Kamira
That's it! Senpai has excellent grades.

Iroha
But doesn't Tsubomi-san want to go to GameFes too...?

Tsubomi
Unlike Motosu, I don't play games regularly. I don't have any particular exhibits I want to see.

Tsubomi
I'll oversee Senju's studies. Shiromaru, you should accept the job without worry.

Mito
Eh...

Kamira
Senpai is right. This job is something only Mitorin can do.

Mito
... I...I understand... I'll...perform on stage.

Iroha
I'm glad! I...won't be able to go on the day, but it will surely be released as a video, right!? I'll definitely watch Mito-chan's brave performance!

Mito
Yeah...Mito will do her best.
