The Main Act Appears
Towa
I'll go clear the way, Mito, I'm counting on you for the finishing blow.
Mito
Y-Yes...! It's a bit sad, but I'll do my best to scare them properly.
Towa
As professionals.
Mito
Yes, as professionals, we'll make the fans happy by scaring them.
Towa
Hehe, what strange Japanese.
Mito
Is... is that so? Hehe.
Tsubomi
We're approaching the next checkpoint. Is your heart prepared?
Tsubomi's Fan B
Yes! I'm excited to see who'll be playing the ghost next!
Tsubomi's Fan A
Maybe it's Mito-chan, or Kamira-chan. Towa-chan's ghost would definitely be cute too.
Tsubomi's Fan B
Or perhaps it might be Kaname-sama...?
Tsubomi's Fan A
No, that's scary... but I want to see her... but it's scary... but I want to see her!!
Tsubomi's Fan B
If Kaname-sama appears as a ghost, I'll pass on to the next world along with my sanity! I'll become an earth-bound spirit right here!
Tsubomi
Fufu, they have high expectations, Motosu, Shiromaru. Now, what will you do?
Tsubomi
A fan meeting is an event to entertain fans, wasn't it...?
Tsubomi
Do you two know this story...? It's a tale passed down at this campsite... titled "The Hand That Shouldn't Be There."
Tsubomi's Fan A
S-Scary... Is that a true story?
Tsubomi
Well, who knows.
Tsubomi's Fan B
W-Why would you hold a fan meeting at such a campsite? I'm too scared to go to the bathroom now...
Tsubomi
Oh?
Tsubomi's Fan A
Eek!
Tsubomi's Fan B
Huh, what? What?
Tsubomi
No, it's nothing, seems I was mistaken.
Tsubomi's Fan A
Please stop that already.
Tsubomi's Fan B
I thought my heart was going to stop...
Tsubomi
Oh?
Tsubomi's Fan A
I won't fall for that trick again~
Tsubomi
No, I was just wondering what that hand on your shoulder is.
Tsubomi's Fan B
Huh?
Towa
"Ufufu"
Tsubomi's Fan A
Uwaaaah!
Tsubomi's Fan B
Kyaaaaa! No way! No! No!
Towa
"Hey... shall we take a picture...?"
Tsubomi's Fan A
Could it be... the ghost from "The Hand That Shouldn't Be There"...!?
Tsubomi's Fan B
Kyaaaaa!
Tsubomi
Fufu, both of them ran away. It must have been a good test of courage. That was good ghost acting, Motosu. As expected.
Towa
Well, it's a straight path, so they won't get lost.
Towa
It's thanks to you, Tsubomi, for feeding them that information beforehand. We were able to work together as professionals, right?
Towa
More importantly, what did you do to make Iroha scream like that?
Tsubomi
Hmph. Want to know?
Towa
Don't be so mysterious~ I won't be scared, so it's fine.
Tsubomi
I'm relieved to hear that.
Tsubomi
"I... was in the photo, wasn't I...?"
Towa
Uhyaaaaa!
Tsubomi
Fufufu...
Towa
Scary! Scary! How can you create such a frightening atmosphere with just a flashlight?
Tsubomi
Context is what matters. If you plant the memory of a ghost story first, a heart trembling with fear easily crumbles. It's the same as those two just now.
Towa
N-Not bad. I was a little, just a little bit scared. Just a tiny bit, okay? But we're not done yet either.
Tsubomi
Hmph, such bravado.
Towa
It's not just bravado. The main act is about to plunge you into the depths of terror!
