Little Girl
Towa-chan!

Towa
Could it be, huh? The little girl from before? Um, did you hear my scream just now?

Towa
For an actor to lose composure like that...I still have a long way to go.

Towa
Where's your sister? Isn't she with you?

Little Girl
Towa-chan, you were so cool!

Towa
Huh? What's that about? In what context? Anyway, it's Towa-san.

Towa
Um...oh, I see. You mean the previous performance? Business smile activated, here you go.

Towa
...Wait, that's not it? You mean the shooting gallery just now?

Little Girl
Bang bang! It was amazing!

Towa
Hmph...so even little girls can recognise my talent. I can even snipe-I'm such a cheat protagonist.

Little Girl
Teach me too! The bang thing!

Towa
Huh, how to shoot? Oh, that. It's the result of daily training, the culmination of a miracle called effort...

Towa
(Wait, wait. Though she's a little girl, she's still a customer. Not one of us.)

Towa
(Furthermore, judging from this little girl's character, she's definitely going to leak some kind of information.)

Towa
(If I mess up here, what awaits me is Kaname and Boss's hell lecture on information literacy.)

Towa
...So anyway. Hello, staff~, I'm leaving this child with you~.

Towa
Well, I've already exceeded my workload for today, so it's about time for endless potato chips and cola, nature-flavoured...

Little Girl
Towa-chan!

Towa
...Huh, why are you here again?

Towa
Seriously, how do you keep finding me!? Are you a police dog!? Sisyphus's rock!?

Towa
Isn't the real problem the sister who abandons her little sister to immerse herself in otaku activities? But I guess the organisers who allow this are the worst.

Towa
So I guess I should bill the Boss and Kaname for compensation, since I'm the victim whose leisure time was destroyed.

Little Girl
Compensation? Does something hurt?

Towa
N-No! I mean, I was worried if you were injured!

Little Girl
I'm fine!

Towa
Good, that's good! Game clear! Dismissed!

Towa
...Or not, she's the type who keeps coming back.

Towa
But I can't just leave her here...isn't there any staff around? Seriously!?

Towa
...Guess I have no choice but to take her back to headquarters again.

Little Girl
Hey, hey.

Towa
Yes, yes, what is it this time?

Little Girl
...Bathroom.

Towa
Huh? Give me a break.

Towa
But if she has an accident here, I'll be the one crying.

Towa
Yes, yes, Onee-san will accompany you. Come on, hold my hand properly.

Towa
Hey, don't play with leaves on the roadside. Oh, that's a bug! Don't show it to me! Kyaa!

Towa
...Ugh, hang in there me, don't lose, future of the theatre world.

Little Girl
...Let's go, quickly?

Towa
Yes~, Onee-san will do her best...wait, what character am I playing!?

Towa
...Alright! Courage! Let's go! Bathroom charge!

Little Girl
I finished in the bathroom~!

Towa
...Phew, glad you can do it by yourself. I was prepared for a catastrophe.

Towa
Well, now let's finally go and leave you at headquarters properly.

Denki Staff
Sorry, Towa! Thanks so much for taking care of the lost child!

Denki Staff
It's our first attempt at this kind of event, so we've had a lot of unexpected situations and not enough hands.

Towa
Right? I'm versatile-I can act, shoot, and even babysit!

Denki Staff
Then, can I also ask you to prepare lunch for her in that spirit?

Towa
Huh, that's different...no, with a child here, I can't refuse this, can I?

Little Girl
The curry is yummy~!

Towa
I'm glad to hear that.

Little Girl
Towa-chan, you eat too~.

Towa
Yes, yes. Oh, it's Towa-san.

Towa
I guess I've been charmed to the point where I think eating curry like this isn't so bad. Little girls are formidable.

Towa
...I really never wanted to have a big sister attribute...though I didn't know I had it.

Towa
But this aptitude I can't completely deny...! It feels like I've seen a new side of myself...though I'm not happy about it.

Little Girl's Sister
Towa-san, thank you for taking care of my sister today.

Little Girl
Onee-chan!

Towa
You should take proper care of your sister, you know?

Little Girl
Towa-chan, thank you~! This is for you!

Towa
Huh? No, no, no, I don't know what to do with a pile of acorns?

Little Girl
Towa-chan, see you again~! Bye bye!

Towa
Good grief, today was really exhausting...well, let's just count it as a win.
