Culture festival, served with a smile 2-1N

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: We're done collecting the ingredients for the cafe, so let's finalise our plans for the stage.

Aka: So far we've decided to do a band performance with Itsuki-chan and Karin singing, as well as the Sonokos' story recital.

Kir: They all started preparing right away, and were really damn enthusiastic about it. Can't wait to see what they do.

Uta: If those two groups go on stage one after another, the audience will definitely get pumped!

Fuu: That means this plan should be okay too. Then all that's left is to prepare, and then more!

Ren: Wait up. If we're just looking to entertain, this plan might be enough.

Ren: But our goal is the Hero Club's first victory!

Ren: If we're aiming for a certain victory, we could use something else, something brand new.

Kir: Hmm, maybe Rokku's right. Band performances and recitals might be fun, but they're standard fare for culture festivals.

Fuu: But what would be good... Hmm. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Yuu: I don't have anything concrete...

Yuu: But it would be nice if people who visit our cafe left it with smiles on their faces.

Aya: That's right. Nothing is as encouraging as smiling customers.

Tou: Customers smiling... Laughing... That's it! How about rakugo, then?

Gin: Rakugo's that thing where you put on a kimono, sit on a floor cushion and make people laugh, right?

Sek: That might be good! A girl in a kimono would look showy and eye-catching, too!

Fuu: That's our Tougou! Well then, are we agreed on making rakugo our third performance?

Everyone: Agreed!

Sum: Um, I agree, obviously, but is there anyone among us who can perform rakugo?

Ren: Heh, let Miroku introduce the perfect person for the job. Shizu-san, it's your turn.

Kir: Me!?

Aka: You're right, you talk a lot by yourself in rakugo, so it's perfect for Shizu-senpai!

Fuu: True. Shizuka, will you do it? For our club's first victory?

Aya: I want to see Shizuka-senpai's rakugo too!

Yuu: Me to!

Kir: Alright! Shizu-san ain't the kinda girl who'd stand idly by with so many expectations placed on her!

Kir: I've never performed rakugo before, but it's still a form of comedy. And I'm your girl for that!

Kir: I'm gonna make 'em bust their guts laughing!

Gin: Ooh, so reliable!

Kir: Alright, time to drop a simple one for a warm-up. Here comes Shizu-san's one-off joke!

Kir: I got my foot on the futon!

Kir: Ahaha, how's that!? Real knee-slapper, right?

Aka: The future looks a bit worrying...

Ren: Miroku recommended her, so I can only hope she applies herself.
