Screams and Pride
Towa
They should be coming soon.
Mito
The first group was Tsubomi-san and her fans.
Towa
I'm going to drop them into the depths of terror as payback for that weird ghost story she told me during the day...
Mito
Depths?
???
Kyaaaaaaa!!!!!
Towa
Eek!? What!? What!?
Mito
That was quite a scream... Since it came from over there, I think it's from the scare point before ours.
Towa
Must be where Iroha is... For Tsubomi to scream like that when scared by Iroha, she still has a long way to go in her training...
Towa
If she reacts like that with Iroha, she'll probably actually cry when scared by me and Mito, don't you think~?
Mito
Y-Yeah... But that voice just now wasn't Tsubomi-san...
Towa
Shh. They're coming soon. Are you ready?
Mito
Ah, yes... But that scream earlier, I think it was Iroha-chan's voice...
Towa
What are you mumbling about? Let's go. According to plan, okay?
Mito
Yeah...
Tsubomi
Next is this path. Watch your step.
Towa
Kukukuku... They've come without knowing a thing...
Tsubomi's Fan A
I'm so glad I came to the fan meeting today! Being able to do a test of courage with Tsubomi-chan - no regrets in my life!
Tsubomi's Fan B
Right. The actors dressed as ghosts are cute but still scary.
Tsubomi's Fan A
But Tsubomi-chan ended up scaring them instead.
Tsubomi's Fan B
Iroha-chan was so surprised, it was kind of sad, but she was super cute!
Tsubomi's Fan A
Seriously, that was awesome.
Tsubomi
Fufu, this is karma for planning such a reckless attempt to surprise me.
Tsubomi
Do not worry. Within a 5-meter radius of me is a survival zone.
Tsubomi's Fan A
Kyaa, so cool!
Towa
I'm fully prepared to scare you using your own "Hand That Shouldn't Be There" story against you~...
Towa
But what did Tsubomi do to scare Iroha instead...?
Mito
Tsubomi-san scared Iroha-chan...?
Towa
Eek!?
Mito
Shh, if you make a loud noise, they'll notice we're waiting to ambush them.
Towa
Mmph.
Mito
Tsubomi-san and the others will notice us, right...?
Towa
H-Hey, too close, you're too close!
Mito
Don't raise your voice.
Towa
I-I get it, so don't get your face so close in that costume. Oh, not that I'm scared or anything!
Mito
Let's do our best, Towa-chan.
Towa
W-What's with you, Mito... Suddenly getting all motivated.
Towa
Until just now, you were all worried like "Will I be okay...?"
Mito
Tsubomi-san is serious enough to make Iroha-chan scream... If I stay anxious, I'll surely be the one surprised instead.
Mito
I need to be determined. For Iroha-chan too...!
Towa
Determined? Come on... This is an event to entertain the fans.
Towa
Whoever makes the fans enjoy themselves wins.
Towa
The fans are happy seeing Iroha being surprised by Tsubomi, so Iroha probably got what she wanted too, right?
Towa
That said, we're professional actors. We can't let fans look down on us. Mito, let's go all out.
Mito
That's right... Then Mito needs to do her best to scare Tsubomi-san and the others.
Mito
So that Tsubomi-san is more surprised than Iroha-chan was.
Towa
Anyway, I'll go first. According to plan, okay?
Mito
Yes...!
