<Please note: the beginning part of the story for this set of cards is the same, so I have reused my own tl>

Izumi: Kazunari-kun is also joining in on today’s leader’s meeting.

Kazunari: Let’s do this piko~!

Banri: Have you come up with somethin’ again?

Kazunari: That’s right, Setzer!
There’s a lil something I wanted to try.
So you see… we held a project survey for the fans to find out what they’d like us to do!

Sakuya: A project survey?

Izumi: Yep. We did it for our fans as per Kazunari-kun’s suggestion.

Kazunari: Thankfully, MANKAI Company’s popularity is soaring through the roof right now!

Tenma: That’s true. We got a lot of new fans too.

Kazunari: ‘Cept some of the folks who have been supporting us for a while also voiced that they’re a bit lonely since it feels like there’s been more distance between us.
But, like, we wanna be a Theatre troupe that’s close to our fans no matter how much our popularity rises, right?

Banri: I see.
So that explains the project survey, eh?

Tsumugi: How were the results?

Kazunari: The most common answer was, “I wanna see more InsteLives and selfies from all the troupe members!”

Tenma: Well, the frequency of InsteLive streams varies from person to person.

Tsumugi: It’s the same for our selfies.
We basically leave it to the members who are good at SNS.

Kazunari: Yep, and so! As a special project this time, I propose we hold a solo InsteLive and selfie festival for 24 consecutive days!

Banri: A selfie festival?

Kazunari: It’d be even more hype if we took selfies during the live and upped the pics to Inste later, wouldn’t it!

Izumi: We’ve also discussed it with Sakyo-san, and he said we can do it as long as I keep watch to make sure no trouble occurs during the streams.

Kazunari: And so, the rest depends on you guys…
How about it?

Sakuya: I’d love to do it! Of course I want to make everyone happy…
But I’m happy for the chance to talk with all the fans through the screen too!

Tsumugi: I’d like to give it a try too. I feel like I’m getting more used to InsteLives, little by little.

Tenma: Hey, but, we can’t just idly chat, right?

Kazunari: On that topic, I thought it might be great to send out another survey to hear what they’d like each troupe member to do.

Banri: Seems like it’ll be a lot easier to handle in that case.

Izumi: Every InsteLive will turn out differently. That sounds interesting.

Kazunari: ‘Kay then, it’s settled!
Leave the form creation and tallying up to me!

Sakuya: Thank you very much, Kazunari-san!

Izumi: Alright then, leaders. Please share the InsteLive and selfie plan with all your members.

Leaders: Got it!

-pause-

Muku: (I got a lot of requests asking me to introduce shoujo manga in the InsteLive survey I got from Kazu-kun.)
(It’s really fun and I’m happy to be able to share my favourite shoujo manga with all my fans.)
But that’s what I do all the time, right…

Muku: (It’d be nice if I could do something different than usual this time while introducing the shoujo manga…)
Hmm… what could I do?
(Maybe I’ll re-read some of my favourite shoujo manga that I have in my room.
That might give me a hint of some sort.)

-pause-

Muku: …*Sigh*. No matter how many times I read this scene, it’s still the best…

Tenma: Oi, Muku.
You’ll catch a cold if you stay out here.

Muku: Ah, right. I’ll head back to my room soon.

Tenma: Were you reading shoujo manga?

Muku: Yes. My survey had lots of requests asking me to introduce shoujo manga in my Instelive, so I was re-reading some.

Tenma: So you’re going to introduce shoujo manga in your InsteLive?

Muku: You see… I’m not sure.
I was actually thinking of doing something a little different along with my shoujo manga recs.
But I haven’t been able to come up with anything…
So I was re-reading some shoujo manga to get some kind of hint.

Tenma: I see.
…Come to think of it, you’ve rewatched the drama “Your Goal Line” a lot of times, haven’t you?

Muku: Yeah…!
I loved the original work and of course, the drama was also interesting. And more importantly, Tenma-kun appeared in it too.
The Kanzaki-kun that Tenma-kun played was super dashing!

Tenma: Well, that’s a given.

Muku: Fufu, right.
Why did you bring that up all of a sudden?

Tenma: Since you watched that drama so enthusiastically, I’m sure you have other dramas and movies based on shoujo manga that you like, right?
I bet it’d work to introduce those along with your shoujo manga.

Muku: I see… that’s true. That might be a good way to introduce something a little different than usual!
Thanks, Tenma-kun!

Tenma: It’s not a big deal.
Come on, that’s enough. Let’s head inside.

Muku: Sure!
