Touko
I just whipped up one heck of a T-shirt design~! I am such a genius!
Touko
For now, I need to go add this to the shop as an item!
Mashiro & Tsukushi
T-Touko-chan~!
Touko
Oh, did you two come to check out my shirt? What do you think of the design?! People are gonna just love this don'tcha think?!
Tsukushi
Wow, that's lovely... Wait, now's not the time for that! We just saw a weird goblin over there...
Touko
A weird goblin...?
Tsukushi
Yeah! It was staggering around even though it had zero health...
Mashiro
It's strange... When a goblin's health falls to zero, it's supposed to go to sleep and rest...
Tsukushi
That goblin we just saw... was kind of like one of those things. Those things in horror movies.
Mashiro
Yeah, I thought so too. It was like a zombie.
Touko
You don't say~? That is weird. Maybe it's some kinda event?
Tsukushi
Hmm, it didn't seem like it... I wonder what's going on...
Mashiro
We were thinking about telling Rui-san about this too. Would you come with us...?
Touko
Okay. Ah, mind if we drop by the shop on the way?
Tsukushi
There don't seem to be any goblins here like the one we saw earlier...
Mashiro
Y-yeah... Ah, but look. Over there is...
Goblin
...
Tsukushi
Ah~! There it is~! The zombie goblin!
Touko
Ah, they're dead tired again~. Jeez, guess I'll have to handle this~... And zap!
Goblin
...! Ahhh~!!
Mashiro & Tsukushi
Huh?!
Touko
Nice! I'm glad you're feeling better~!
Tsukushi
T-Touko-chan, what did you just do...?
Touko
I just zapped them with a little Enthusiast.
Touko
You know how when the goblins work, they start to get more and more tired, right?
Touko
I felt kinda sorry for them, so I used my skill to perk them up.
Touko
And that's how they got like this!
Mashiro
If you boost their motivation, they can work even if their health is zero...?
Touko
Hmm... Ah, it's like this. When you sleep over a friend's house, sometimes you stay up late, right?
Touko
You get so hyped when that happens. You're tired, but you have fun no matter what, don'tcha?
Touko
I bet the goblins are just like that too!
Mashiro
I-I wonder...
Touko
But if I take my eyes off them for a bit, they get all tired like this goblin just was~.
Touko
Ah, speaking of that, there were more tired goblins, weren't there? Okay, just you wait! I'm coming to give you an energy boost~!
Nanami
Touko-chan is late. Practice is from one o'clock...
Rui
It is already half past one.
Mashiro
She said she'd be a little late in the group chat, but this doesn't feel like a "little" at all to me...
Tsukushi
Argh~! She's always late!
Nanami
Ahaha... By the way, have you guys heard? I think the full version of Special Fantasy is coming out soon.
Tsukushi
Everyone was talking about it on social media! But it seems like the game mechanics have changed a lot from the trial version.
Mashiro
What are "game mechanics"?
Nanami
I heard they've rethought some of the skills you can use. I think you can't use Enthusiast anymore.
Mashiro
Enthusiast... That was the skill Touko-chan was using, right? Why is it gone?
Nanami
Well~... Ah, this might be the reason. The makers said, "We would like to notify you about the unintended behavior of certain Skills."
Nanami
"A bug has been fixed that was allowing the Enthusiast skill to make characters with zero health move."
Nanami
"We were able to find thus bug due to the actions of a user who played the trial version."
Tsukushi
... Do you think that user could've been...
Touko
I'm here~! Sorry I'm late~!
Tsukushi
Ah, Touko-chan! We were just talking about Special Fantasy. I just knew the goblins from that one time were a bug!
Touko
Goblins? Bugs? What are you talking about?
Mashiro
Remember? In Special Fantasy, you used Enthusiast on those goblins with zero health to make them move...
Touko
Special Fantasy... Oh, that? Was that the puzzle game we played recently?
Tsukushi
No!
Touko
Really? Well, anyway, you've gotta hear this! I have this really sweet idea for our next show~.
Touko
Listen good~. On stage, we can...
Mashiro
The way she's sounding... I don't think she remembers a thing...
Tsukushi
Jeez... She's so unreliable.
Touko
Right? So if we do that, our show will probably blow people away. Man, I'm such a genius~!

Touko
Hmm... Ah, this shirt would be hot with a splash of color on the bottom!
Touko
man~, I'm about to set the fashion world on fire again! I'm such a genius~.
Marina
Hi, Touko-chan! You look happy.
Touko
Ah, Marina-san, BanG Dreamer-san! Perfect timing! Check out this T-shirt design~!
Touko
I'm gonna debut this under my brand! Isn't it the coolest?
Marina
Wow, that's cool~. I think I'd grab that in a heartbeat if I saw it in a shop.
Touko
Good 'ol Marina-san! You get it~. My design skills are off the charts right now.
Touko
I dunno why, but I've been getting a ton of ideas I've never had before.
Marina
Fufu. Oh, really? Have you done something new that's sparked your imagination?
Touko
Something new... Hrm? I feel like I did...
Touko
Ah, video games! Maybe it's because I played a video game!
Marina
You played a game? Are you talking about Special Fantasy?
Marina
Tsukushi-chan told me about that. You did things like go on adventures and build a town, right?
Touko
Yeah, yeah! I made TOKO Town on an empty island!
Marina
Huh? I heard it was in another world, not a deserted island...
Touko
Oh, was it? Well, it's all the same to me! No need to sweat the details!
Marina
I-I think those might be different things...
Touko
They're the same! Whether I'm on an empty island or in another world, my mission is always the same.
Touko
Set up a stylish cafƩ~, get about 10,000 friends~, and create the TOKO brand~.
Touko
Next, my cafƩ and brand would become super popular, and then I'd throw a TOCO event!
Touko
And then I'd think of all kinds of exciting events~... Ah, and of course, Morfonica would play shows to bring the events to a close!
Touko
People would lose their minds when they hear me on guitar!
Marina
You have so many dreams~. But I think you can actually make them come true.
Touko
Ah, but don't worry, I'm gonna invite you two to the shows!
Marina
Fufu, looking forward to them.
Touko
You better come! I'm gonna put on one heck of a show!
Touko
Yikes! It's this time already! I've gotta hurry to Nanami's atelier...!
Marina
Are you having band practice?
Touko
Yes! So I need to go home first and grab my guitar! See ya!
Marina
Okay, see you~! Bye~.
