Kuro: Itsuki, look at you out here talkin' to everyone! Yosh, yosh. *pats his shoulder*
Shu: *pushes him away in exasperation* Kiryu! The reason I did not join you on stage before is simply because I did not wish to dismantle the world that Valkyrie had crafted! Do not mock me so!
Rinne: Bein’ a real formal, prestigious unit is Valkyrie’s sellin’ point, ain’t it? That mean you’re not up to scratch when it comes to stuff like actin’ in variety shows? Haha!
Shu: It appears the idols as of recent years ought to contend with one another when it comes to much more than simply performing on stage, lest they lose their standing. Valkyrie too may no longer continue on merely as we have done before now.
Kuro: I dunno about contendin’ with ya or anythin’, so let’s just do our best up here together.
So, we were given orders to keep the crowd entertained with what we had to say durin’ this part of the show, but…
Rinne: They did a bunch of stuff yesterday, didn’t they? Sure looked like a hoot, so I’ve been waitin’ impatiently to have a lil’ fun with ya myself!
Shu: It appears they called upon our audience to make use of their pen lights to participate. The result was rather beautiful. I too wish to once again recreate such a marvelous artistic performance within this very venue—
Rinne: Yeah, gonna need ya to stop right there. Never mind your artistic performance. I wanna make sure everyone in the crowd has their heart poundin’ when I’m through with ‘em! Wouldn’t that be more entertainin’?
Shu: Hmph. And I suppose you have a superior idea in mind?
Kuro: What are ya thinkin’? Go on, tell us.
Rinne: Ya wanna hear what I came up with?
Lemme put it this way - let’s gamble!
Shu: *dramatic sigh* Kiryu. Never mind this, I wish to leave.
Kuro: Hold on now. I doubt he actually means real gambling, right? Amagi-senpai.
Rinne: You got it! Right, all of us are gonna ask the crowd a few questions, and for any question the answer is yes to, ya raise your pen lights! In other words, only God himself has any idea what the view of the crowd from the stage is gonna look like!
Kuro: Oho.
Shu: Hmph. “Gambling” is certainly an extreme way of phrasing it, yet I do recognize what it is he is implying. We shall create an display of true artistry that shall only be possible with the presence of this very audience!
Rinne: Yeah, yeah, you get me.
Kuro: So that’s what you have in mind. Then why don’t we give it a go right away?
Rinne: All righty! All of ya, make sure to set your pen light to whatever color it is ya like best! Hold up, there ain’t no need to hold ‘em up just yet. One of us’ll ask a question, and if ya think the answer’s yes, raise that pen light all the way and wave it for us!
Kuro: If you don’t have a pen light, we’d love if you’d join in usin’ your hands or fists. Are ya ready? Right then, Itsuki. Try askin’ ‘em somethin’.
Shu: I am to be first? Now, what shall I ask… Very well! I shall address all here - tell me, are there those of you who who consider yourself artists, or have dedicated yourself to the pursuit of art, present in this very arena? *the crowd begins to raise their lights* …Hmm. How am I to interpret this? I am afraid I do not quite comprehend.
Kuro: Uh… I think your question was a lil’ too hard. I see more than a few lil’ ladies lookin’ like they didn’t have a clue what they should be doin’.
Rinne: I’m tellin’ ya, simple sorts of questions are best for things like this! All righty, I’m up next! How many of ya LOOOVE Rinne-kun? *crowd waves lights* HAH! Thanks! I love all of ya right back!
Shu: What a vulgar sort of question.
Kuro: Well, it was easy to understand, wasn’t it? Then… Those of ya here who are havin’ the time of their life at today’s show, raise your pen light or hand in the air.
Shu: I do not believe anyone would not raise their light for such a question. And yet… I am truly pleased that you would express such a sentiment in our favor. The sight from up here is truly magnificent.
Rinne: Right? By the way, that’s all I’m able to play around with ya! I’ve got a performance comin’ up, so I’ll be excusin’ myself here. I’ll leave the rest to you two. Later!
Kuro: See you.
Shu: *sigh* For goodness sake. He is not unlike a storm. Now that he is no longer present, I might finally be at peace.
Kuro: He sure gets the place lively. But hey, Itsuki. Weren’t ya havin’ a pretty good time? I can see it in your face.
Shu: You are simply interpreting it so. Yet I do suppose that were I to claim our time on stage has been dull, that would not quite be true.
Should we share the stage once more, I would prefer it to be a more elegant affair.
Kuro: Hehe. All right, the second half of the show is gonna be startin’ soon. Are ya ready to enjoy the next part?
Shu: Their expressions make that much clear. We too are primed and ready to preform for you all once more.
Kuro: As are we. Well then, I’ll pass ya on to the next unit. Make sure ya enjoy the rest of the show.
Shu: We shall meet again.
Kuro: See ya soon. Hehe.
