Next... Tenma and Hamano.
Hamano
H-Here.
Employee
We'll be having both of you perform in the show for our guests as they prepare their own chocolates.
Employee
There will be a period when everyone will have to wait for their chocolates to cool.
Employee
During that time, you'll be making your appearance and putting on a show for them. In terms of what you'll be performing...
Tsukasa
(The chocolate-loving “Choco Maniac” will be appearing alongside the mascot, “Chocota” the chocolate fairy, to start things off...)
Tsukasa
(The Choco Maniac catches a glimpse of the chocolates that the guests are making and feels compelled to steal them because “they look so delicious.”)
Tsukasa
(But Chocota steps in to stop that from happening by saying, “They worked so hard to make these! They're not for you to take!”)
Tsukasa
(In that moment, Chocota asks everyone about who they're making these chocolates for, as well as why...)
Tsukasa
(The Choco Maniac is so moved by their words that he has no choice but to withdraw.)
Tsukasa
(Also, the script's very short... Only two to three pages... However, we'll have to ad-lib as we interact with each guest.)
Tsukasa
(That just leaves who'll be playing the Choco Maniac and Chocota... But my fellow cast member and I should be able to work that out.)
Hamano
Yes, likewise.
Let's make the most of today, Tenma.

Tsukasa
They said that we could choose amongst ourselves which roles to play, so which would you like?
Hamano
Um... I don't mind either way.
Hamano
I'm just a part-timer with only some acting experience, but I've had opportunities to play both roles for this since this place opened...
Tsukasa
(I see... He appears to be a few years older than me, so maybe I can lean on his experience.)
Tsukasa
Our friend here may be a bar of chocolate, but I can't say that I'm very used to acting while donning a mascot's costume...
Hamano
That's understandable.
I promise to do my best as Chocota.

Hamano

Oh, I'm sorry...
I haven't been feeling that great today... I'd like to go outside to get some fresh air...

Len
<You're undecided about what to do for White Day, right? I was hoping that I could help you somehow...>
Len
<Then I heard you guys talking about this show you're about to do and decided to listen in!>
Tsukasa
I agree. He may be in rougher shape than we realize... I'll try asking him after he gets back and we start practicing.

Did you all enjoy the opening number?
From here, you'll all be plunging headfirst into the world of chocolate!

A show right off the bat...
I really wasn't expecting anything like this from the start.

I knew that this place is supposed to partly be a museum, but that was a nice surprise.
Haruka
Let's do our best today to make sure our chocolates put a smile on everyone's faces.
Haruka
Speaking of which, what kind of chocolates do you plan on making today, Hinomori? They're for Tenma and your other friends, right?
Shiho
Yeah, I'm gonna try to make some look like shooting stars for my bandmates... Also, some rabbits.

Man, that was so much fun!
I wasn't expecting to see a show like that in a place like this!

Mizuki
Hm? You're excited about making chocolates, Li'l Bro? I thought you were all about seeing Paul Hansen today...?
Mizuki
By the way, do you know what you're gonna make? I for one plan on making some really adorable stuff♪
Akito
No. At least, not yet...
I don't really care how they look as long as they taste good, you know?

Akito
Hey, we have a ton of toppings to choose from... Nuts are pretty standard, but orange zest could be a nice touch...
Akito
Quit bugging me and focus on your own stuff. It's not like we get to be here forever.

You've all been doing great so far!
Next, we'll start decorating our creations!

You have quite a bit to choose from, so feel free to use all the toppings you like!
Shiho
(What can I use for my rabbits' eyes...?
The pink chocolate pen could work, but we have all these toppings at our disposal so...)

(Oh, they have finely cut dried fruits.
These raspberries might be what I'm looking for.)

Shiho
(As for the shooting stars, I'll draw the tails using the chocolate pens and throw in some silver dragees to make them twinkle...)
Haruka
(Hinomori's decorating her chocolates beautifully. She must really want to give her friends something they'll like...)
Haruka
(Minori's clover is milk chocolate so I'll use the pink pen, and a white pen for Airi's since hers is strawberry flavored.)
Mizuki
Whoa, they have pink dragees! These are so cute! They'll be perfect for my bow's knot!
Mizuki
Oh, but these star-shaped toppings are really good too! I'll sprinkle some onto my apple chocolates... No, wait. Powder might work better!
Akito
Aren't you going a little overboard...?
They're not gonna taste like chocolate if you keep piling on that stuff.

I'm keeping an eye on how much I use!
At the same time, it's not every day that you get access to this many toppings!

Yup! Them and all the people who've been there for me, like An and Tsukasa... Oh, Rui too...
