Mito-chan! Did you watch the compilation episode of the 'TenIru' anime that streamed yesterday!? 'I Reincarnated and Somehow Became a Dolphin Princess!'
Mito
Oh, I haven't watched it yet...how was it? It's been getting quite a bit of anticipation, so I've been curious about what it's like...
Iroha
It was packed with new cuts that weren't in the original anime broadcast...it felt like the masterpiece fans had been waiting for, and it was really good~! I definitely want you to watch it, Mito-chan! It was a wonderful production that didn't betray us anime fans' expectations!
Mito
I see...then I'll watch it when I get home! Thanks for telling me, Iroha-chan!
Iroha
Not at all! I was really looking forward to it too! I wanted to let you know as soon as possible!
Kamira
Well well, you two. Anime talk before rehearsal? You seem pretty relaxed~?
Mito
Huh, t-that's not...it...I just couldn't help being curious about the new anime...it's not like I'm not focused, okay?
Kamira
Ah, sorry sorry! It was a joke! Don't take it seriously! Actually, I was just trying to distract myself~.
Iroha
Could it be that Kamira-chan is nervous? Should we do some deep breathing together?
Kamira
Thanks, Irocchi! I am nervous...but it's more like, I'm torn about which role to audition for~.
Iroha
The Wizard of Oz has the Wicked Witch of the West, the Tin Woodsman...there are so many charming characters!
Kamira
Irocchi, do you have an idea of which role you want to audition for?
Iroha
Yes! I want to audition for Dorothy. After all, she's the protagonist who drives this story!
Towa
Oh really. Going for Dorothy when I'm here? That's pretty bold of you.
Iroha
Towa-chan...! It's true that you could play Dorothy, but I want to work hard for it too!
Towa
It's a joke, a joke. You and Mito both...you're way too serious.
Mito
So both of you are auditioning for Dorothy...I think Towa-chan's Dorothy would definitely be cute too, but Mito would also like to see Iroha-chan's Dorothy.
Iroha
Mito-chan...thank you! I'm so happy to hear you say that!
Kamira
Speaking of which, Mitorin would totally suit Dorothy too! You were great as Helena in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and Princess Leila in 'Arabian Nights'!
Kamira
Oh, did you maybe already decide to audition for a different role? If so, forget everything I just said! Forget it all!
Mito
N-No...! That's not it, but...when it comes to auditions...to get a role...I'd have to compete with other people... (If Mito said she wanted to play Dorothy...she'd end up competing with Iroha-chan for the role...)
Tsubomi
To create a production that appeals to a different demographic than Denki's usual audience, as Machiko-san mentioned...it may be painful, but this audition is probably an unavoidable path.
Mito
You're...right. It can't be helped if we want to seize this chance...
Iroha
It's okay, Mito-chan! We're not enemies-we're rivals in a good way! So let's enjoy this audition format we've never done before, since it's a special opportunity!
Kamira
No hard feelings whoever gets chosen, okay? Right?
Towa
Yeah yeah, just take it easy. ...Well, no matter how hard you try, in the end you'll all get killed by my overwhelming acting skills anyway.
Troupe Members A and B
"W-What formidable opponents...!" "No way! We're not gonna lose either!"
Troupe Members C and D
"Gotta train our fingers in games! Can't lose to the hardcore players!" "...No, winning at games won't help anything!"
Tsubomi
Good grief, such ridiculous cheerfulness. ...However, being able to unite no matter what happens is one of the electronic princesses' strengths.
Mito
...Heh heh.
Iroha
Mito-chan?
Mito
No...it's just that everyone's acting like usual...I felt relieved, I guess...I thought it was nice.
Iroha
That's right! No matter what happens, everyone at Denki's bond is strong! So let's work hard together!
Mito
Yeah...!
