()||<黑屏2>593Campaion-34:The morning has put you in a lively and cheerful mood, but right now, you are feeling deeply troubled. +You've been impatient to meet your Dolls ever since you saw Late Night Café's poster. +You've even let this anxiety seep into the afternoon and your time with Franchouchou. Some of the more astute members have probably noticed your strange mood, but no one blames you. +Even though you have an agreement with them.
()Commander||:Sigh... Never thought I'd be put in such a dilemma...
()||AVG_Button_Click:You walk into a public phone booth and dial the number on the name card that the ninja gave you the previous night.
()Commander||:Hello? Is this... the ninja?
()Ninja||:Ninja speaking. How can I help?
()Commander||:I would like you to help me look up Late Night Café.
()Ninja||:For what reason?
()Commander||:I'm their Commander. They've come to Saga disguised as idols and are looking for me.
()Ninja||:...I presume you are referring to the Late Night Café who swept up all the Krammy, Global Musical Awards, and Idol Academy Awards just three months after their debut?
()Commander||:Uh... I suppose.
()Ninja||:The Late Night Café whose debut album "Killing Mobs and Leveling Up in Griffin" has been dominating the charts for 24 week straight?
()Commander||:Yes, I need to find them.
()Ninja||:...
()||AVG_Button_Click:The line goes dead... +The ninja has abruptly hung up. +You are feeling confused when you find the ninja already standing outside the phone booth.
()Commander||:How long have you been here?
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:...
()||:The ninja is uncharacteristically quiet. +You realize the sudden bombshell you just dropped on him could be a bit too much.
()Commander||:As you know, I'm from another universe, and Late Night Café is my—
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:You don't have to explain, I understand it all.
()Commander||:Really?
()||ClothingUp:The ninja places a hand on your shoulder.
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:You are from another world, and you are the Commander of the global sensation Late Night Café.
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:That's right! So you actually got that!
()||ClothingUp:You are so overjoyed you wish to high-five the ninja, but he merely nods coolly.
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||BGM_Empty:I have had such dreams as well.
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||<震屏3>:IT'S NOT A DREAM!
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||m_wv_title:My world is ravaged by war and chaos. I lead a group of girls full of dreams to fight, not for wealth or power, but only for a quiet and peaceful life...
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:That's exactly right!
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:But when I woke up one day, I found myself in tranquil Saga. Now you must lead a group of talented girls full of dreams to conquer the world with beautiful song and dance...
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:Uh... That sounds a bit weird, but that's pretty much the gist of it.
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:We've all had such dreams before. +But now that our eyes are wide open, we must learn to accept reality as it is.
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:No! I really am—
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:Hush.
NPC-Ninja(0)0,-4201.6||ClothingUp:The ninja starts muttering under his breath, then he produces a handful of powder from his waist pouch...
NPC-Ninja(0)0,-4201.60.1||<震屏3>AVG_Slap:...And smacks it onto your forehead.
()Commander||:What are you doing?!
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:This powder will help give you clarity. After waking up from a good night's sleep, you won't obsess about your dreams anymore.
NPC-Ninja(0)Commander0,-4201.6<同时置暗>||:I told you, it's not a dream! Everything I said is true!
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:I get it. I've seen many cases like yours before. I'm a pro at handling such things.
()Commander||:...
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:Well, see you around.
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh%%type_id=2%%duration=2%%delay=0.1%%range=8:The ninja vaults up into the tree with practiced ease, his figure half obscured by the foliage.
NPC-Ninja(0)Ninja0,-4201.6||:By the way, Commander, you will receive some very good news tonight.
()Commander||:What kind of news?
()||:But the ninja has already vanished among the trees.

()Commander||:What's the matter?
()||Rope:The moment you slump wearily onto the sofa, Ai and Junko approach you immediately. The others also look rather nervous.
NPC-MizunoAi(0)Ai Mizuno60,-1901.27||:While you were out, we received an important phone call.
NPC-MizunoAi(0)Commander60,-1901.27<同时置暗>||:Pestering us to pay the bills? Or did someone complain about us being a nuisance?

NPC-Sakura(1)Sakura Minamoto0,-2701.27||:I hope we have the stage presence to handle this...
()Commander||:...
()||:You've stopped paying attention to the Franchouchou girls' conversation. You are completely transfixed by the three familiar faces. +HMG21, JS05, and PM-06.
()Commander||:It's finally time...
()||Rope:You clench your fists in excitement, but then...
()||ClothingUpBGM_Empty:A hand wraps itself around your fist, then another, and another...

NPC-Tae(4)Tae Yamada0,-2901.30.1||:Awoo! Argh... (She seems to be crowing in excitement.)
()Commander||<震屏3>:Franchouchou!
()||:You join in on chanting their slogan. +The living room is now buzzing with joy and nervousness. You peer down at the familiar faces on the poster again surreptitiously. +You look back up at the Franchouchou members' thrilled and hopeful faces, and guilt gnaws quietly at your conscience.
