Chapter 1: Panda's Proposal
Yae: A new play?
Panda: Yeah. Kudou-san said that it would be nice for Sirius to do plays that aren't just the classics~. I happened to hear her say that to Hiiragi-san.
Panda: About that, how about we all brainstorm a plan for this!?
Chisa: What do you mean?
Panda: Panda wants to demonstrate her leadership skills to show off to Sirius. "As expected of Panda!" "Panda is so cute!" "Her acting is great too!" "She even has a sense!"
Kathrina: Isn't that just your delusions speaking?
Kokona: K-Kathrina-chan!
Shizuka: Putting that aside......
Shizuka: By plan, are you talking about the new play?
Panda: Right, right. Panda really like performing, but she also has an interest in writing and performing in them as well~.
Panda: And so the plan is, the scriptwriter is Panda, the performer is Panda and the lead actor is Panda!
Kathrina: Isn't it kind of unfair to put yourself as the lead role?
Chisa: Surely that should just be an audition. ......I think I would like to play a bioroid role.
Panda: Oi, Sassu. I didn't even say anything about this being a science fiction story. Don't bring up a role like that out of nowhere.
Shizuka: Haaa....... So, what kind of play did you have in mind?
Panda: Let's see...... Panda wants to do something thats realistic, something that only we can do. Something thats familiar yet mysterious.
Kokona: Familiar, yet mysterious......?
Panda: Which means...... a story about Koko-chan and Shizu-chan's sense.
Shizuka: Our sense......?
Panda: Once upon a time, within an aspiring actor aiming to become a Daistar, a shining figure was born. A sense...... Another existence that lives inside the being known as Koko-chan.
Panda: Wouldn't it be interesting if Shizu-chan was a fairytale-like character in the play?
Yae: So what you're saying is to have a play that follows the journey of Kokona-san and Shizuka-san until now......
Yae: Right? It sounds a little bit in bad taste......
Kathrina: You think so? Stage actors, and even great historical figures have all been adapted to the stage/
Kathrina: That's what Mama.... Therese Griebel had to say on the topic.
Panda: Well, we're not going to make fun of them here, and it's probably a good idea to change the names too. I think the content will be changed enough to the point where Koko-chan wouldn't even recognise it.
Chisa: But it's still going to be a Kokona and Shizuka motif inspired script, right?
Panda: That's exactly right!
Panda: If the final script isn't satisfactory then Panda will reject it, but regardless, Panda wants to submit this to Hiiragi-san.
Panda: It's no small task..... but what do you say?
Chisa: I want to see this story of you two.
Kokona: I-I...... I also want to know more about Shizuka's existence.
Shizuka: Kokona......
Shizuka: If that's what Kokona wants, then I don't mind.
Panda: For real?
Shizuka: Yeah, but the question is whether this can make a good play or not......
Panda: Well, Panda will work hard on that front and see what happens.
Chisa: The boss wouldn't accept half-baked works anyways.
Shizuka: That's true......
Panda: ALright! Then its decided! Firstly, research! Panda would like to have a thorough interview with Shizu-chan~! Sassu!
Chisa: On it.
Shizuka: Eh?
Panda: Panda will now guide you to her room~. Koko-chan, you come along too~.
Kokona: S-Shizuka-chan! Hold on, Panda-chan, Sasuga-chan!
Kathrina: Is this going to be OK......
Yae: If you worried, why don't you go join them?
Kathrina: I don't wanna. Panda and Sasuga's room is full of scary things......
