Oscar: I'm baー what is this?

Brad: What's wrong, Oscar?

Oscar: No, there is something white on every tale...

Brad: ... Are these... mochi?

Akira: Ahーーー!!!
... I got found out. I was thinking it was about time you'd get home, but you beat me to it.

Brad: Is this your doing, Akira?

Akira: Yep, that's right.

Brad: ... I see. From the way things are looking, you're planning to use these for the next show?

Akira: Yeah. I was planning to hide it from you and the others, but I was found out so nothing I can do 'bout it.
Yeah! Eating mochi sounds like a very Japanese New Year, right?
When I saw it in Little Tokyo, I thought "this is it"! You can enjoy different flavors and serve several possible versions of mochiー

Brad: You're going to introduce mochi?

Akira: Yeah! I'm gonna introduce various mochi and eat them!

Brad: ......

Akira: Wha- What is it... You got something to say?

Oscar: Are you going to do nothing but eat mochi non stop?

Akira: Th... That's right, but what's wrong with it?

Oscar: No, it's an idea that you thought long and hard about. I will enjoy it not matter what's the content. However...

Brad: Did the public relations department and the broadcasting station check it?

Akira: What?

Brad: ......
You should have sent to the terminal a document that describes the course of the plan you decided and have it printed out, too.

Akira: H... How weird~? I'm sure I read that...

Brad: Hah... I'm also at fault for not following up on you properly, and in that respect, I apologize.
It's not too late. Submit the content of your plan and have it checked.
One more thing... If I remember correctly, there have been heroes who introduced Little Tokyo's New Year before and among them someone who presented mochi the same way.

Akira: Nghdks!?

Brad: You should think of a Plan B in case it doesn't pass.



Akira: A... Aaaaah, no wayy...

Oscar: A- Akira...

Akira: I've been so obsessed about surpassing Brad that I didn't look up other people's plans...
Hey, doesn't this mean that Hey, doesn't this mean that someone has already done all the things I prepared until now? Was my idea that standard?

Oscar: Akira, I think your plan is interesting...

Akira: No need to cheer me up, Oscar. I won't be able to surpass Brad at all at this rate...

Guwaaaaahhh!  I'm not gonna give up at this point! I'll definitely think of a plan that's more exciting than Brad's!

Will! I'm calling a strategy meeting, to the lounge​!

Will: Eeh... what is going on? Ah, Brad-san, Oscar-san, welcome back.

Brad: Will, good timing. Please tell Akita to pay careful attention not to forget about checking over the plan. Thoroughly, okay?

Will: ? Understood...
No, I don't really get it, but for now I'll join Akira's strategy meeting.

Brad: Goodness...

Oscar: I- Is he going to be alright?

Brad: I think many would feel disheartened for noticing those mistakes when there's only a little time left, but... by the look of things, I'm sure he'll be okay.
