| Itaru | …Marriage? |
| This is so sudden… |
| Konomi | He’s going on an extended overseas business trip, so I thought I’d tag along. |
| Itaru | What about your company? |
| Konomi | I told you I’m quitting. I’ve always said I’d get married at 28. |
| Itaru | … |
| What’s with that dumb look on your face? |
| Itaru | Nah, I’m just getting some déjà vu here… |
| (Get into a first-class university, work for a major advertising agency, wrap everything up, marry in her late 20s, and move abroad…) |
| I did hear it a bunch of times back at our parents’ place, but I never would’ve thought it’d actually happen the way you said it would. |
| Konomi | I mean, you do know that it’s me we’re talking about, right? |
| Itaru | …Yup, that’s right, my dear sister. |
| Konomi | Of course, this interrupts my career and I’ve deliberated over my choices. But I've always planned to start my own business eventually. So it’s no problem. |
| Itaru | (The Great Demon King sure has self-confidence, as always.) |
| (The way she fulfills her ideal lifestyle with perfect abilities and a perfect facade is, of course, frightening to me, even though she’s my own sister.) |
| So, like, where are you moving to? France? |
| Konomi | The Kingdom of Zahra. |
| Itaru | Ehh!? |
| Konomi | You’ve been there several times before, haven’t you? And isn’t there a Zahran guy in your troupe? |
| Itaru | Ah, yeah. |
| Konomi | So, I have three requests for you. |
| Itaru | (Emergency quests… and they’re unskippable.) |
| |
 |
| Izumi | Wow, congratulations! |
| Chikage | They’re moving to Zahra, huh? |
| Tsuzuru | Small world. |
| Citron | What a surprise! |
| Itaru | Sigh… |
| Sakuya | Are you worried about it? |
| Itaru | My sister, the Great Demon King, gave me three quests to complete. |
| The Demon King’s 1st Decree: "Introduce her to members of the theater troupe because she wants to know the local area." |
| The Demon King’s 2nd Decree: "Make a perfectly good impression on the families of the two parties before the wedding." |
| The Demon King’s 3rd Decree: "Give the best wedding gift to your sister to repay her for all that she’s done for you so far." |
| Izumi | Oh, o-ohh… |
| Itaru | So, can I ask you for help, Citron? |
| Citron | It is no protein! |
| Tsuzuru | More like ‘no problem.’ |
| Citron | I am very glad that Itaru’s sister is coming to Zahra! I will help you with anything! |
| Chikage | But I don’t think your sister would expect Zahra’s Minister of International Arts and Culture to be here. |
| Itaru | Just shut up… |
| Izumi | Will meeting the two families be an issue for you, Itaru-san? |
| Tsuzuru | With those looks and his magical normie persona, he’ll be fine. |
| Itaru | Well, the actual problem is the 3rd quest here. |
| Sakuya | The wedding gift? |
| Itaru | Finding a tribute that will satisfy The Great Demon King is gonna be one hell of a feat. If you guys have any SSR-rate ideas, please lemme know ASAP. |
| Tsuzuru | That’s going to be harder than long-endurance streaming. |
| Itaru | Spot on. |
| Izumi | That reminds me, Itaru’s sister has never been to one of our performances. |
| The next one will star you, Itaru-san, so why don’t you give her a chance to see it before they move overseas? |
| Itaru | I’m not gonna invite my sister. I don’t think she’ll even show up, anyway. |
| Izumi | Huh? But… |
| Itaru | When I invited our parents, I asked my sister to join too, but she said “Your acting’s gonna give me the creeps.” |
| Izumi | I get what you mean now. |
| Tsuzuru | By the way, we also need to prepare for our next show, so if you guys have anything you’re itching to include, make sure to tell me. |
| Itaru | Too many options to choose from… An Elite Salaryman Gets Transported Into Another World, or A Young Streamer Reincarnates As The Savior!? Or… |
| Masumi | Cut back on the middle school nerd behavior. |
| Itaru | I think you mean The Road of the Righteous Royal. |
| Masumi | Where. |
| Izumi | (Is Itaru-san’s sister really not gonna watch even a single time…?) |
