Sakuya | ——Everyone's here. Okay, then, let's start the meeting. |
Tsuzuru | We'll be deciding the details of our 2nd anniversary play, right. For the original story part... |
Izumi | You guys want to do a crossover between "The Wonderful Charlatan of Oz" and "KniRoun," right? |
Sakuya | Yes! |
Chikage | First of all, we'll have to get permission from End Links to use KniRoun. |
Izumi | I wonder if Hoshii-san will agree to such a thing a second time... |
Tsuzuru | I wonder, too... |
Citron | It seems like you can't deal with him with regular beans. |
Masumi | You mean means? |
Citron | That's it. |
Itaru | ... I'll do something about that. |
Chikage | Heh... And by something you mean what? |
Itaru | Everyone, don't you all think I'm just some gaming addict otaku that's good-for-nothing? |
Masumi | I won't deny it. |
Sakuya | M-Masumi-kun! |
Tsuzuru | I've never gone as far as thinking you're good-for-nothing, though... |
Chikage | Well, the part about you being a gaming addict otaku is a fact. |
Itaru | Then, what's my job? |
Citron | A zero that saves the world! |
Itaru | Not zero, hero. Also, that's a job in a game. |
| Even though I look like this, I actually work at a trading company, you know? There's no way I fail at pitching to a potential client within one of my strong areas of expertise. |
Sakuya | Itaru-san, you're so reliable! |
Itaru | So, Tsuzuru, you can start working on the script without worrying about that kind of stuff. |
Tsuzuru | Got it! I believe in you. |
Sakuya | Ah... But, there's one more problem... |
Masumi | Problem? |
Sakuya | What should we do about the characters... |
Chikage | ... I'm guessing this is about me. |
Citron | Oh~. I forgot about that~. |
Izumi | Chikage-san does play the lead character in Oz, and he also plays the second lead in KniRoun. |
Sakuya | Both Oswald and Gawain are characters that are vital to each story... |
Masumi | But don't we have to pick just one. There's only one Chikage, after all. |
Tsuzuru | In that case, we should probably pick the lead, Oswald. |
Itaru | ... If we won't have Gawain, then the percentage chance of eating a NG from Hoshii-san rises. |
Citron | Gawain is a vital character to KniRoun IV. |
Izumi | Hmm... Then, we should probably give up on a crossover——. |
Chikage | If I play both roles, then there's no problem, right? |
Izumi | Huh? That's true, but... |
Sakuya | That would be too big of a burden for you, Chikage-san! |
Tsuzuru | If you think about it rationally, then there's no way you'll make those costume changes in time. |
Chikage | It's fine, leave it to me. I have an idea for that part, anyway. |
Izumi | But——. |
Masumi | ... If it's Chikage, he seems like he could pull it off. Though I don't have any basis for that. |
Citron | Ohh, I get that! Chikage has many tricks up his sleeve! |
Itaru | Well, Senpai is a cheat character, after all. |
Tsuzuru | ... That's true. I'll devise a plan to make some time for a quick costume change in the script! |
Chikage | Alright, I'm counting on you. |
Izumi | ... Understood. I'll believe in you, Chikage-san. |
Sakuya | So it's decided that the Spring Troupe's program will be a crossover between Oz and KniRoun! |
