<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-

Guy: …

Muku: Ah, Guy-san.

Guy: …Hm?
Ah, Sakisaka?

Muku: Is that the survey for your solo InsteLive?

Guy: Indeed. It’s put together very well, so it’s great reference.
As expected from Miyoshi.

Muku: That’s true.
Have you decided on what your stream will be about already?

Guy: No, not yet.
However, I think it will be about alcohol.

Muku: Did you get that many requests related to alcohol?

Guy: Yes… the most popular request was, “I’d like to see you working as a bartender”.
The most after that was, “I want to learn how to make cocktails and snacks that can be made at home”.

Muku: Wow, a bartender sounds great!
If you’re a minor like me, or a fan who lives far away, then you can’t go to Guy-san’s shop even if you wanted to.

Guy: You have a point.
Then I shall be a bartender in my stream.

Muku: If you wear your shop’s uniform, then it’ll feel just like they’ve come to your bar!

Guy: I see.
I’ll consider putting on my uniform.
I was able to decide on a rough course of action thanks to your suggestion just now, Sakisaka. Thank you.

Muku: Really!?
Ehehe, I can’t wait for your stream!
