The Time to Show True Power!

Kamira
The contest is over, but I'd like to do another group cosplay with everyone. If we do it again, is there anything that looks good?

Iroha
Of course 'Karyuu'! If we do it next time, it should be the movie version!

Iroha
Plus, the other Denki members said they'll help next time, so we can have all the enemy members too!

Mito
The costume department people also...said they want to make the cosplays themselves...next time.

Kamira
Yeah, they grumbled about why we didn't let them make the costumes for us.

Iroha
Machiko-san also said it was good publicity for Denki.

Iroha
The budget should increase next time! Fufufu!

Classmate A
Oh, it's Karyuu-chan. You're quite early today.

Classmate B
Good morning, Karyuu-chan. Are you protecting the town's peace from the morning?

Iroha
Come on, please stop~ I'm happy, but I'm not Karyuu-chan.

Classmate A
Ahaha, but you were so into it. I got curious and watched the anime.

Iroha
Ehehe, I'm happy to hear that! Let's spread the circle of Karyuu even more!

Iroha
...That said.

East Ueno Student
Ah, it's Karyuu-chan! Look over here~!

East Ueno Student
Eh, who? Oh, from the cosplay contest. Hey, show us a pose.

Iroha
Ah, yes. Sure~

Iroha
"We will protect this city!"

Electronics Store Owner
Oh, Karyuu-chan. Your play was splendid. Please help out again if something comes up.

Anime Shop Clerk
Karyuu-chaaan. You really suited the contest! I'd want to collaborate if we had a Karyuu fair!

Iroha
Thank you very much! I'm honored! The pleasure would be mine!

Devoted Denki Fan A
Karyuu-chan, you were amazing! Please continue to protect the town's peace!

Devoted Denki Fan B
It's like the real thing jumped out from the screen...no! You were cuter than the original!

Iroha
I-I'm happy, but that's definitely not the case...!

Iroha
Phew~...

Mito
Good work, Iroha-chan.

Kamira
Wow, you're a big hit. Is there seriously a 'Karyuu' boom happening?

Towa
It's probably just local, but I'm surprised it's become this talked about. I was shocked when someone in my class started watching 'Karyuu'.

Tsubomi
That was dangerous. If it weren't for cosplay, the dark organisation might have discovered our identities, and our souls might have already vanished into the void...

Iroha
Well, I'm happy it's become popular, but I'm a bit scared of being praised too much...

Mito
It just means that Iroha-chan's Karyuu was good.

Iroha
Being praised is the greatest happiness for a cosplayer, but when people say I surpassed the original, that's definitely not true.

Iroha
The strength of spirit that never gives up and never falters is Karyuu's unique radiance, and the sparkle in her eyes that clearly expresses this can't be reproduced no matter what corrections are applied-

Kamira
You're talking super fast!?

Towa
Your passion is overflowing and it's scary! Stop, stop! Pushing your strong personal attachments can lead to negative impressions of the original work!

Tsubomi
Senju, calm down!

Tsubomi
HYA-!

Iroha
-Huh!?

Tsubomi
Phew...have you regained your composure? You were probably mentally warped by the dark organization's 'Evil Touch'...

Towa
No, that was definitely her true nature. It was completely leaking out.

Towa
Well, I understand when feelings for a favorite work overflow.

Mito
But Mito thinks that Iroha-chan is as cute as Karyuu...

Iroha
Even Mito-chan, please stop! A-anyway.

Iroha
I hope my respect is conveyed to those who saw the cosplay...

Kamira
But with all this attention, you might get an offer? Like a stage performance of 'Karyuu' in collaboration with the original.

Iroha
A-a-a-a-absolutely not! Why are you saying such frightening things!

Kamira
Eh, why? Shouldn't you just be happy? If there really is a re-screening, it would be thanks to you, Irocchi.

Mito
It was Iroha-chan who suggested we do a 'Karyuu' cosplay.

Iroha
N-n-n-no way, no way, no way, that's too much, my heart can't handle it!

Iroha
As a fan, I need to maintain an appropriate distance from officials or I'll...I'lllll!

Tsubomi
To that extent!?

Towa
...Otaku have these troublesome aspects.

Kamira
As a streamer, I'd be thrilled about such an offer. Haah~, how difficult.
