Part 1Part 2

Izumi	For today’s leader meeting, Kazunari-kun will be joining.
Kazunari	Heyo⁓!
Banri	Didja come up with somethin’ again?
Kazunari	Exactamundo, Settzer! Just something I wanted to give a go.
	Actually… we held a project survey asking everyone what they wanted us to do⁓!
Sakuya	A project survey, you say?
Izumi	Yup. As per Kazunari-kun’s suggestion, it was for our fans.
Kazunari	Thankfully, MANKAI Company’s popularity is sky high RN!
Tenma	You’re right, our new fans have increased quite a bit.
Kazunari	However, it seems like the older fans felt they’ve grown distant from us that it’s making ‘em feel left out.
Kazunari	So, no matter how popular we get, we should be closer to our fans as a theater troupe, ya know?
Banri	I getcha. And that’s why you sent that survey out.
Tsumugi	And as for the results?
Kazunari	The most common response was “seeing more of the troupe members holding InsteLives and taking selfies!”
Tenma	I guess there are people who hold InsteLives more often than the others.
Tsumugi	Same goes for taking selfies. We mostly left that to those who are good at social media.
Kazunari	So so! My proposition for this special project is to hold the “Solo InsteLive & Selfie Festival” for 24 days straight!
Banri	Selfie Festival?
Kazunari	You take a quick selfie during the live and you post it after you finish the live, ain’t that a bangin’ idea?
Izumi	We already consulted Sakyo and he said it’ll be fine as long as I supervise in case some trouble comes up.
Kazunari	Anywho, the rest is up to y’all, so… how about it?
Sakuya	I would love to do it! I certainly want to make everyone happy…
	But for me, even if it’s behind a screen, I’m happy to just get a chance to talk to our fans!
Tsumugi	I’d like to do it as well. Maybe with this, I’ll get the hang of InsteLives and the sort.
Tenma	Although, we can’t just chat with them, right?
Kazunari	Oh about that, I thought of just doing a survey again for stuff they’d like each of us to do.
Banri	Seems like it’ll be easier that way.
Izumi	It’d be interesting for each InsteLive to turn out differently.
Kazunari	So, that’s that! Leave the form-making and tallying to me!
Sakuya	Thank you very much, Kazunari-san!
Izumi	Well then, I’ll leave it to you leaders to share the info on the InsteLive and selfies to everyone in your troupe.
Leaders	Got it!
Misumi	Triangle⁓♪ Triaaangle♪
Kumon	Sumi-san, you look like you’re having fun.
	Could that be the request survey for your InsteLive?
Misumi	Yup! Everyone seems to looove triangles. There were a buncha triangles on it!
Kumon	Is that so? Well I’m sure it’s cuz people learned a lot about triangles from you!
Misumi	Ehehe⁓ How nice⁓! Everyone sure does pay attention to me.
Kumon	And that’s cuz everyone likes you!
Misumi	Yeah! I love everyone, too!
	…Ah!
	Hey hey, would everyone be happy if I talk to them about my favorite thing?
Kumon	For sure! Everyone would be delighted.
Misumi	Ehehe, I see.
	All right, I’ve decided what to do!
	With that said, the Triangle Excavation Team will start an investigation here! No entry until dinner time⁓
Kumon	Whaa!? Even me!?
Izumi	Um… There seems to be a lot of noise coming from Room 203… Is everything good there?
Kumon	Oh, uh, probably? Sumi-san’s in the middle of a triangle excavation. I got driven out of the room.
Kazunari	A triangle excavation? I’m totes curious!
Tenma	Are you sure there aren’t any problems?
Yuki	Even with the crazy sounds?
Muku	It sounds like there’s construction going on.
Izumi	(I wonder how Misumi-kun’s InsteLive will turn out…)

Misumi	And there we go!
Izumi	Woah! That’s a lot of triangles…!
Misumi	Ehehe⁓ I got them all from my room⁓
