Targets are eating and relatively unfocused, but considering they are Tactical Dolls, one cannot be too cautious. +As you gaze at your familiar subordinates from afar with narrowed eyes, you try to work out how to disable them in your head. +In the last ten minutes, you have already probed Gray Tree posing as a fan. Like Late Night Café, they didn't recognize you at all and even gave you an autograph.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:<color=#A9A9A9>It's for the best...</color>+<color=#A9A9A9>At least it'll make this easier...</color>
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:You pick up your glass of iced water from the table. The ice cubes knock against the glass, making a clattering noise. +Only then do you realize your hand is shaking. +You wonder if you are feeling guilty for conspiring to sabotage your Doll subordinates, or if you're feeling— +Thrilled?
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:<color=#A9A9A9>It's your own fault for being so damn good... Franchouchou won't stand a chance in a head-on fight.</color>+<color=#A9A9A9>For strategic reasons, more unconventional methods are necessary...</color>

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑点2><回忆><边框>2</边框><BIN>587</BIN><BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:...A few hours ago, you logged into Gray Tree's fan forum using the only computer in the study.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<边框>2</边框>:Gray Tree is incredibly popular in the rock music scene, but I've watched Franchouchou perform before, and they aren't actually that far behind. +Let me try to identify Gray Tree's weaknesses. They might just be Franchouchou's strengths...

The lyrics that she spewed like a machine gun reined in the vehement drumbeats and restless guitar, creating a perfectly balanced tension.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<关闭蒙版><黑点2><BIN>582</BIN><BGM>GF_20HW_Scene_BPM82_loop</BGM>:You're still watching Gray Tree carefully, waiting for an opportunity to strike. +The four girls are eating their barbequed meat wordlessly like strangers that got put at the same table. +As you observe more closely, you notice that there is a subtle undercurrent of tension beneath the deceptively tranquil scene.
M1897(2)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>-70,-180</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_Fried_chicken</SE1>:M1897 is diligently cooking the meat on the grill. Her shades are fogged up by the steam, but she dares not put down the tongs to wipe them clean.
M1887(2)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-230</Position><Scale>1.45</Scale>||:Across her sits M1887. She is peering down at the meat in her bowl with some disdain. The meat was put there by M1897, but unfortunately it isn't cooked all the way through.
80type(6)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>-80,-30</Position><Scale>1.52</Scale>||:Type 80, who isn't wearing any glasses, is staring straight at the meat being cooked on the grill. Every time M1897 meets her eyes, her hand shakes visibly.
MG5(6)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-300</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_tableware</SE1>:Gr MG5 is focused on eating, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings, but you know that she is definitely aware of the tension at the table and is currently thinking about how to resolve the situation.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Now's my chance! While they are all—
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Waiter</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Excuse me, do you need anything else?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:A waiter has appeared out of nowhere and is completely blocking your view. You can't see behind him no matter how you crane your neck, so you glare up at him.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Waiter</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:Um... The chicken on your grill has been burned to a crisp... +Would you like the bill, or...?
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_Wonder</SE1><震屏3>:<size=50>What?!</size>
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You look down at your grill, only to realize your tender and juicy chicken has all turned into inedible charcoal. +It pains you to no end, but you cannot leave just yet.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Please give me another portion of chicken...
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Waiter</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:Sure. One moment please~
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:The waiter walks off, clearing up your view again.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:The four members of Gray Tree are now all on their feet. They still aren't speaking, but the tension is running even higher.
M1897(2)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>-70,-180</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_tableware</SE1>:Barbecue sauce has been splashed all over M1897's sunglasses, but even though her vision is completely impaired at the moment, she is still stubbornly holding onto the tongs and flipping at the air.
M1887(2)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-230</Position><Scale>1.45</Scale>||:M1887 is clutching angrily onto a bowl filled with grilled meat, locked in a silent tug of war with Type 80.

MG5(6)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-300</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<SE1>Rope</SE1>:With a deep frown, Gr MG5 pulls out several tissues with her left hand to clean up the barbeque sauce that has been spilt onto her hair. Her right hand is balled up into a trembling fist.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Great! I mustn't let this opportunity go to—
NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1><BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:Oh, if it isn't Franchouchou's manager?!
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:...Hello.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<BGM>GF_20HW_Battle1_BPM102_Loop</BGM>:Your view is once again blocked. This masked girl is quite petite, but she has positioned herself in a way that makes it impossible for you to see past her.

M1887(2)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-230</Position><Scale>1.45</Scale><Shake>0.1</Shake>||<SE1>AVG_Creep</SE1>:M1887 is straining forward and looks hellbent on reaching across the table to kick Type 80's ass, but she cannot get to her with M1897 pulling her back.
80type(6)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>-80,-30</Position><Scale>1.52</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_Bite</SE1>:Type 80 is chewing ferociously as if someone were going to pry her mouth open and make her spit out all the meat inside. Her cheeks are stuffed like a hamster's.
MG5(6)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-300</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><Shake>0.1</Shake>||<SE1>AVG_Punch_Hit</SE1><震屏3>:Meanwhile, it is clear from Gr MG5's face that she has had enough. She has not been able to completely remove the barbecue sauce which has now congealed in her hair. She has both Type 80 and her drone pinned viciously on the table.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:No! This really is a one-in-a-million chance—
NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:What are you mumbling about?

()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You once again clear your view and peer over to the other table... +The Gray Tree members have gone back to eating in their seats, though M1887 and Type 80 are clearly the latest subjects of a barbecue sauce baptism.
MG5(6)<Speaker>Gr MG5</Speaker><Position>0,-300</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:The bill.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Waiter</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_Cash_register</SE1>:Yes, ma'am~

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_tele_connect</SE1>:The crazy fan immediately turns on her MP4 and opens a video clip. +It's the solo contest between Tae and Drive-In Chicken. You've seen the video before, and it was a spectacular face-off.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Hm...
NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||:Also, their rock'n'roll performance was super lit! I haven't seen such an impactful rock performance in a long time!

NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||:Rock'n'roll is all about rage! It's the expression of rage!

NPC-Fans(0)<Speaker>Die-Hard Fan</Speaker><Position>0,-250</Position><Scale>1.7</Scale>||:They've encountered setback after setback, and they always seem to have the most rotten luck. I can't wait to hear them let out their roars of frustration!
