Ch. 5 ~ Towa, Big Pinch

Towa: Yaaaaaaaawn...

Towa's Classmate A: Good morning, Towa-chan! I saw the television yesterday!

Towa's Classmate B: Chiho-chan's rival, that's amazing!
You'll definitely become a Dai Star!

Towa: Aah. I guess~
Once you get as good as me, it'll happen as soon as you get serious.

Towa's Classmate A: Then, why won't you become one?

Towa: I mean, isn't it a pain to become a Dai Star?
Drowning in work from morning 'til night, isn't that behind the times?

Towa's Classmate B: Woooow! Towa-chan's such an adult!

Towa: Ehe~!

Towa's Classmate A: Well, I've got beautification work to do, so I'll go ahead now!

Towa: (Mama said she'd treat me for dinner today.
Papa also said he'd buy ice cream for dessert)

Towa: (Maan, thanks to that girl talking about me, I'm feeling great~)

Shigure: Hmmmmmm~?
There's someone here who's gone all bubbly with joy.

Towa: Geh, Shigure and Kouhai...

Yae: Good morning, Senpai.
I watched the television yesterday!

Yae: Speaking of Chiho-san, she is even called the "future of Olympus."
As expected of you, being praised so much by someone like that!

Towa: Thanks.
Though I can't just happily accept being told that by you, who's already a Dai Star.

Shigure: Anyways, she was so excessive with all that praise, it was honestly pretty dubious.
How much did you bribe her for?

Towa: Hmph~ Say whatever you want.
This was all skill, you know.

Shigure: Uwah, you're really getting full of it.
Honestly, was that acting for "Arabian Nights" on a level Olympus would recognize?

Towa: Heeh~ So you came to watch.

Towa: Thank. You. Very. Much. For. Your. Patronage.

Shigure: It's not like I watched it because I wanted to, it was market research!

Shigure: Moreover, rehashing Sirius' work, I honestly don't know what to think.

Yae: No such thing! It was an "Arabian Nights" filled with Denki's energy that only Denki could perform,
bright and one that makes you have fun from the bottom of your heart!

Yae: Senpai's Genie of the Lamp took an approach I can't do, so it was a great learning experience!

Towa: Hear that? This is how you properly appeal to your seniors.

Shigure: Haaah~? If you want us to act like your juniors,
then could you not start by saying things befitting our senior?

Towa: This girl...

Shigure: Still, isn't this great for Denki~ They're becoming a hot topic.

Yae: Yes, I'm looking forward to Gekidan Denki's next performance.
Many members of the audience will be there to see Senpai's acting.

Towa: ... Huh?

Shigure: It's natural, as the center of attention~ If you just perform as usual, you might get criticized by the experts.

Towa: Ah.

Shigure: Aha~♪ Don't tell me you didn't realize it?
Right now, the hurdle is totally raised, you know, Se~npai~♪

Towa: O... Of course I noticed!
You'd better look forward to it. I plan to make this an awesome play!

Towa: Ah! I forgot I have class duty today!
I'm going ahead!

Yae: Okay, take care.
I will be looking forward to your next performance.

Shigure: Don't do something pathetic like falling over in a rush and getting yourself hurt~

Towa (Ohnoohnonononononononono!)

Towa: (Of course that'd happen with all the attention!
People have their expectations set for me in our next performance!)

Towa: (Which means... Boss and Kaname will—)


Kaname: Our next play will be "Alice in Wonderland."
The lead will be Towa. You'll be playing Alice.

Towa: Geh.

Mito: Waah, congratulations, Towa-chan!

Iroha: We're guaranteed to win with Towa-chan's Alice!
All the fans must be ready to faint in agony!

Towa: (So this is how it is...)

Machiko: Towa, we're counting on you.

Towa: Wait, Boss. I'm not suited to play Alice.
Maybe a plainer role. If possible, one that sleeps all the time...

Machiko: We have a tailwind blowing from Komae Chiho's statement yesterday.
Let's liven things up with Towa as the focus.

Denki Troupe Members: Okaay!

Towa: AaaAaAaaaAaaAAaaa~

Towa: ...... Seriously?
