Backstage Stories

Part 1

Sakuya	It’s awesome that we can feel like we’ve really entered a VR world by putting on VR goggles like this!
	Thanks to Chikage-san, we could talk to people from all around the world. We had a great time!
Chikage	Always glad to help.
Itaru	For reals though. Senpai’s foreign language skill was unmatched.
Tsuzuru	It was fun communicating with various different people. And we learned a lot about VR, which really helped us to prepare for our roles in the performance too.
Masumi	Well, that’s true.
Citron	VR is really interesting and eggciting!
	What’s next on the list?
Itaru	Actually, there’s a place that matches Masumi’s vibe.
	I’ll guide you there next.
Tsuzuru	A location that matches Masumi’s vibe?
Masumi	Where is it?
Itaru	Have fun finding out.
	Alright, everyone. Equip your goggles again.
	Let’s go to the VR realm.
Masumi	“This place is…”
Chikage	“An evening rock festival venue?”
Citron	“Look, look!
	There’s musicians shredding it on stage!”
Sakuya	“The stands are full of concert goers too!”
Tsuzuru	“There’s a whole variety of human and animal avatars, just like last time, huh?”
Citron	“Everyone’s pumped up and look like they’re having the time of their lives~.”
Itaru	“These musicians’ performance is being played elsewhere in real time.”
	“The performance is being tracked in real time and reflected in the avatars’ movements.”
Chikage	“I see. So you can enjoy a live concert at home, hm?”
Masumi	“Heh…”
Tsuzuru	“This feels like the future.”
Sakuya	“Both the performance and the musicians are really cool!”
Citron	“Since we’re here, let’s try getting closer to the front!”
Tsuzuru	“Ohh, it’s even more intense when you're up close!”
Itaru	“Whatcha think, Masumi?”
Masumi	“…It’s not bad.
	I like the song too.”
Itaru	“I’m glad to hear you like it.”
	“By the way, I heard this VR festival is going to have a unique highlight.”
Masumi	“?”
	*ROAR*
Sakuya	“WOAH!? A huge dragon appeared on stage!”
Citron	“Now it’s a summoning circle! It’s shining and floating towards us!”
Chikage	“This is something that can only be done at a VR festival.”
Itaru	“Yo, that effect just now was sick…!
	It legit feels magical and super hype.”
	"Next, the sound from the guitar is gonna burst into flames.
	Nice. Very nice.”
Tsuzuru	“It's really cool, and I get why the stage and music are so exciting, but...”
Masumi	“I can’t concentrate on the song at all…”
