Iroha
It really, truly came...! A letter from the World Theatre League...!
Towa
No way, you're kidding, right? Is today April Fools' or something?
Kaname
What are you talking about...it's not a joke. Look. I got shown this by the boss today too and it knocked my socks off.
Denki Troupe Members
"T-This is..." "Whoa, it looks so prestigious~." "Should we bow to it or something?" "If I touch this paper, will I get a buff that makes me better at acting?"
Tsubomi
Indeed, it appears to be genuine. The sender and address don't seem to be fake either. So finally, we too have caught the attention of the legendary great actors...
Kamira
But why...a troupe like ours? I mean, from what we heard earlier, aren't they more like stuffy, serious people?
Denki Troupe Members
"Maybe it's...Cool Japan?" "There must be one of our comrades in the judging department...cosplay will save the world"
Towa
I mean, what's going on here? Well honestly, I don't get it either...
Towa
If I had to guess, maybe they're trying to broaden their appeal to liven up the theatre scene?
Mito
Broaden their appeal...? You mean they want to bring in the fan base of troupes that do 2.5D like Denki...?
Machiko
That's probably close to the mark.
Denki Troupe Members
Whoa...Boss!?
Machiko
Nowadays, troupes like ours are supported internationally and contribute to market expansion. So the bigwigs probably can't afford to keep ignoring us anymore.
Machiko
...What Denki has been doing all this time wasn't pointless.
Denki Troupe Members
"No way! Isn't this amazing!?" "We've finally made our name known to the world~." "Should I start studying English now? Can I get by with internet slang?"
Iroha
So Denki's achievements have finally been recognised in the theatre world too! This is incredible! I thought maybe it could happen, but...I can hardly believe it!
Mito
Yeah...I thought the World Theatre League was like some distant world...but it's r-real...it's really amazing...
Kamira
Hmm, if we're getting that much attention, I guess I'll have to put even more effort into my makeup~.
Tsubomi
If you want to know the colours of makeup that bring good fortune, you should rely on my divination. I shall tell you the lucky colours suitable for your future performances.
Kamira
For real!? As expected of senpai, so reliable!
Machiko
Well, I understand you're all excited, but calm down a bit. ...That said, this is a perfect opportunity.
Machiko
To sell ourselves to the demographic that prefers 'theatrical theatre' and hasn't been watching Denki's works until now.
Machiko
For that reason, I want you all to focus on the Horoscope Season. There's no way we're not going to take advantage of such a perfectly tailored stage.
Denki Troupe Members
Yes!
Towa
Ugh, I knew this would happen. I want to go home and play games. There's an important event period going on right now~.
Kaname
As usual, but this time you need to take it seriously too, Towa, okay? Like the boss said, this is an important time for Denki.
Towa
Aww...but the event is important to me too~.
Kaname
By the way, we've decided to determine the roles for the next production through auditions. ...This was decided after discussing it with the boss.
Kaname
It's an unprecedented attempt for Denki, but that shows how important this moment is, so everyone should be prepared.
Iroha
Um...! Has the production been decided already?
Kaname
Yes. The next performance will be...'The Wizard of Oz'.
Iroha
...! (...The Wizard...of Oz...)
