Role Study 【Blanc】

Backstage Stories

Part 1

Citron	That’s Itaru for you. He prepared exactly the amount of VR goggles we need in order to prepare for our roles!
Itaru	Well, I can do that much. I had a few of these to begin with.
	Besides, I thought I’d like to visit a VR realm together with everyone.
Sakuya	Thank you very much! I can’t wait.
Itaru	Don’t mention it.
Chikage	Well, the original person who said he wanted to go there got too obsessed with his avatar. So it took longer than expected.
Itaru	My bad…
	Well, without further ado. Sorry for the wait.
	Now that I’ve made my new avatar, let’s head out.
Masumi	What are we doing first?
Tsuzuru	You said we’re going to experience communicating in a VR space, right?
Itaru	Yep. Starting from someplace great for newbies…
	Let’s head to a VR realm you can chat in your avatar appearances.
	Alright, put your goggles on, everyone.
Citron	“Ohh! It’s a fantasy town!”
Sakuya	“Amazing…! It feels like we’ve really entered into a fantasy world after putting the VR goggles on!”
Masumi	“There’s lots of other people here too.”
Chikage	“There’s humans, animals and even monsters.”
Citron	“Those are eel snippets!"
Tsuzuru	“You mean 'evil spirits'.
	I mean, your avatar is pretty impressive too, you know?”
Itaru	“This is a location where you can have fun VR chatting.”
	“Go on, Sakuya. Talk to some people in the area.”
Sakuya	“O-Okay! I’m a bit nervous, but this is also role study, right…!”
	“Alright… e-excuse me…! Good afternoon!”
Human avatar character	“Hi!”
Sakuya	“EHH!?”
Human avatar character	《Is this your first time here? This town is constructed beautifully, right? 》
Sakuya	“Awawa, s-sorry. I can’t speak English that well!”
Chikage	“He asked if this is your first time coming here.
	And he remarked the town is built beautifully.”
Sakuya	“Thank you very much, Chikage-san…!
	Umm, this is my first time here. It’s a really pretty town!”
Chikage	《Hello. This is our first time visiting here.
	It really is a pretty little town. 》
Citron	“Chikage’s smoothly translating for us!”
Tsuzuru	“As expected.”
Cat avatar character	《Your avatar is so cool! 》
Citron	“Ohh!? It’s not English this time!?”
Itaru	“People from lots of different places gather here after all.”
Masumi	“That was probably French?
	I don’t understand what they’re saying though.”
Chikage	“They complimented Citron’s avatar, saying it’s cool.”
Citron	“Oh! Thank you!
	I like this avatar too!”
Chikage	《Thank you. Apparently, this guy likes his avatar too. 》
Elf avatar character	《Yo! If it's your first time here, then item shops and flower gardens over there are really nice and I recommend them! 》
Sakuya	“W-which language is it this time!?”
Itaru	“Italian… I think?”
Chikage	“They said that if it’s our first time here, then the item shops and flower gardens are nice and they recommend them.”
Tsuzuru	“Oh, I see! Thank you for letting us know.”
Sakuya	“I think we’ll definitely take a look together!”
Chikage	《Oh, really? Thank you for letting us know.
	I think we’ll definitely take a look together. 》
Masumi	“Chikage’s translating everything.”
Tsuzuru	“Chikage-san showing off his high specs…”
Itaru	“Senpai really is a cheat character.”
