Ayakashi Parade in mahorova - Track 2

Alright, everyone’s here.

Now then, let’s begin today’s meeting.

Hell yea! It’s about time!

I will explain the situation.

We’ve called you all here today to discuss a collaboration between companies.

We’ve been asked to participate in “mahorova CosFest vol.1”, also known as “mahoCos” for short. It is a full-dive cosplay event that will take place inside of mahorova.

Ehh, a collab with THE mahorova!?

That’s a crazy huge deal…!

Indeed. The primary objective of mahoCos is to promote the re-release of a costume app that users can set as avatars inside mahorova.

HAMA’s been the talk of the town as of late ♪

Therefore, we want you, as the acting ward mayors, to participate in this event and liven things up.

The theme of the event is “Ayakashi ¹”.

In order to implement the costumes into the app, we’d like you to prepare designs based on that theme.

…

(I’m interested in cosplaying in mahorova, but… That theme is so boring. There’s gotta be something more interesting they can do, right?)

Nayuki, have the participating mayors or any potential candidates already been decided?

…I feel as though somebody just asked about the participants. Here is what we have as of right now.

…N-Nayuki-kun didn’t acknowledge Raito-san at all…

The event administration has extended an offer to Domeki-san.

Hm? Me?

Much to my delight, it seems that someone among the management is a big fan of Ev3ns.

They’re especially fond of Domeki-san, so they were really hoping that he would participate.

Furthermore, Domeki-san’s disposition suits the “Ayakashi” theme quite well.

(Haah? What the hell. What kind of cheap abuse of power is this?)

Fufu… It’s not like I can help it if that little lamb has such fine taste.

Alright, I’ll do it.

Thank you. Next, I’d like to request someone myself.

Azekawa-kun, I would like to nominate you as a participant.

Command processed.

Manager, please provide an explanation for your appeal to assist in decision-making.

This request also involves reviews of the costume app.

Thus, I would like you to serve as a record-keeper for the participants’ opinions as well.

Master. May I accept this order?

Of course you can!

Kinari-kun’s specialty is collecting data, after all!

Understood. Command processed.

Updating priority queue.

Alright, then we’ve decided on two participants.

If anyone else is interested, please let us know.

Ah, if Kugunii… If Domeki-san is going to be there, I think I’d like to join too.

I’d like to try working with him.

Oh? How cute of you, Nanaki.

(Ughhh. Those relatives sure are buddy-buddy.)

Then Nanaki-kun will be joining as well. Anyone else?

Oh, right, cosplay is Sakujiro-san’s specialty!

If he can advise us regarding the costumes⁠—

I’m terribly sorry, but my schedule is packed full.

I have not a moment of rest until the day of the event. I fear it will be quite the challenge to provide my expertise this time around.

I see… In that case, the rest of us will just have to do our best.

Ayakashi is a really interesting theme…!

…I don’t think so at all.

Eh?

Isn’t it a bit too spontaneous to throw in Domeki-san just because he happens to look the part?

To start with, Ayakashi is all about yokai, right? That’s pretty basic for a cosplay theme.

You really wanna use that outdated theme for an app’s PR? Isn’t it missing something fresh and innovative?

Um… I… guess so?

…Fufu.

…What’s so funny, Domeki-san?

Oh, nothing. I was just wondering what the problem would be with something “basic”.

Isn’t figuring out how to play around with such an everyday theme the fun part?

Or is that level of creativity a little too challenging for you?

That’s not what I’m saying.

(I’m no Karigane-san, but I’m by no means a stranger to cosplay.)

Just… from what you guys were saying earlier, this is an insane offer, but is it really okay to be so nonchalant about this whole thing?

(Sigh)… You really can’t get enough of complaining about every little thing, can you.

Just yesterday, wasn’t it you who said “It’s like there’s people who don’t know the basics of communication”?

Haah?

What?

You’re still fighting? Calm down, you two–

…Ah. Deja-vu.

A-Ahh…!

Nagi-kun just tripped over his own two feet…

The force of impact from falling into the desk caused Nanamegi-sama and Kurama-sama’s drinks to…

Hot… No, it’s cold… No, it’s perfectly room temperature.

Why the hell did it only spill directly onto Hachinoya-san!?

Huh. The scalding hot coffee canceled out the ice-cold Dr. Ghost Pepper to save me.

Ahaha! You’re all perfectly in sync ♪

Nayuki, as for the remaining members, let’s add Ushio and… It’ll get interesting if we add Nagi, too. Isn’t this a fine team of 5?

Well, that’ll do.

Hold up, I never even said I wanted to join…

Oh? Are you not confident in your ability to pull it off?

…Of course I can do it.

Then there’s no problem! Anyways, I’ll leave it to you ♪

…!

This fucking sucks…
