Itaru: Hm, hm~ ♪
Izumi: Ah, Itaru-san. Welcome back.
Itaru: I’m home, Director-san.
Masumi: …What’s that?
Tsuzuru: You look like you’re in a really good mood.
Citron: I’m sure he brought back a feature.
Sakuya: Ehh!? A f-feature?
Chikage: You wanted to say “featured product”, right? I think you got the gist though.
Itaru: Bingo. The extreme figure series was released today, and I've been waiting for this day to finally get my oshi. I knew I had to get my hands on it ever since I saw the DecoMas* exhibition. This prize is famous for its unbelievable quality, and it's the kind of thing that gets hunted down right away.
Tsuzuru: Ah… so that’s why you got up so early this morning? I thought it was rare for you to get up so quick.
Itaru: Otakus are willing to take the first train to get what they want. An all-nighter was totally out of the question.
Citron: Ohh, Itaru looks smug.
Tsuzuru: I want the time I spent being impressed you got up early back…
Izumi: Oh, I see. You’re in a good mood since you got what you were aiming for, right?
Itaru: Exactly ♪ Ah, that’s right. That reminds me, in today’s loot… I figured I’d a grab a bunch of other stuff too, while I was at it. …You use headphones, don’t you, Masumi?
Masumi: …Yeah, I use them.
Itaru: And that’s why I’m giving these to you.
Masumi: …What is this?
Itaru: Bunny-ear headphones. Aren’t they adorable?
Masumi: You just wanna harass me, don’t you? They’re tacky as hell. The sound quality seems awful too, so they’d just be a total pain.
Izumi: There are things like this out there too, huh! They’re cute…
Masumi: I thought so too.
Tsuzuru: The speed that he did a 180.
Citron: It’s a crazy rapid rotation.
Itaru: They’re visual headphones geared towards streaming. Anyways, why don't you try streaming with these headphones on, Masumi? I'll even lend you all the equipment.
Masumi: Ha? I don’t get you…
Izumi: Isn’t that a great idea? Masumi-kun doesn’t do things like inste-lives that often… And there are fans who said they want to see more photos and videos of you.
Chikage: You don't need to make any big preparations either if it’s just a chat stream.
Citron: Chatting is fun! Give it a try, Masumi!
Sakuya: I agree. It’s a rare opportunity to get to talk to the fans. And I think it's a great way to get to know Masumi-kun better!
Tsuzuru: But the question is, does Masumi have that kind of communication ability…
Itaru: I’ll back him up. I’ll stop it if he looks like he’s in trouble. Just leave it to me.
Sakuya: It’ll be comforting to have Itaru-san with you, since he’s the most experienced!
Masumi: The flow is totally pointing towards a stream now. *Sigh*…
Option 1: “I’ll be supporting your stream.”
Izumi: I’ll be supporting your stream.
Masumi …If you’re supporting me, then I’ll do my best. But I have no idea what I should say.
Izumi: You’re just chit-chatting, so I think you could start by talking to the fans while reading all their comments.
Citron: You can also bring up your favourite sushi, or show them a dance!
Masumi: That’s what you wanna do, isn’t it? But I just talk about my hobbies, and chat while reading the comments? …I got it.
Option 2: “I think it’ll be great for role study too.”
Izumi: I think it’ll be great for role study too.
Masumi: That might actually be true, but…
Chikage: As a V-talent, Nero also does lots of streaming. So wouldn’t this be a good experience?
Izumi: After the stream, I'd like you to let me know what you thought and which parts you enjoyed.
Masumi: Sure. I want you to be the first to hear it.
Izumi: Great. I’m looking forward to it.
Masumi: I’ll… give streaming a try.

*"デコマス" (DecoMasu, short for 'Decoration Master') refers to pre-coloured samples of figures/goods before mass production at the factory. They tend to be more elaborate and beautifully painted than the production version and are shown off as samples at exhibitions.
