Anzu! Could you hear me out for a bit!?

Remember the tokusatsu show I got an offer for? They finally decided on its name!

I wanted to let you know about it, since you've advised me a lot throughout the process!

Finally!

Mhm! The details of the show aside, I definitely didn't want to end up reporting to you uncool stuff like, "I couldn't transform", or something!

So I'm also really happy I get to inform you about good news…☆

And the title is…

Oh! I almost forgot to actually say it. The title is — ‘Supervillains’!

The documents they showed me finally removed the "tentative" disclaimer from the title. The moment I saw that, I felt emotional, like "ah, at last!"

I'm so glad to hear that.

I'm so sorry for worrying you all this time. That's all the more why I wanted to share this joy with you…!

There are still a lot of obstacles ahead, but just this step alone makes me so happy! I couldn't help but report to you about it!

2/3

Now that we've celebrated the good news… The truth is, the actual details of the show haven't been confirmed yet.

Oh yeah, Anzu — Do you like stories where the hero turns evil?

I've heard it's been a hot topic lately, but other than that…

I think I like it.

I see… I guess there really is an increasing demand for that type of story lately.

A hero that walks down the path of evil, huh… Mmm, I can't help but find it frustrating somehow.

I can see why people would like it.

Yeah, there's been a lot of stories lately about how evil can be good if you look at it from a different angle.

Well, that's a different topic from heroes turning evil, though! As for me, I of course love cool, virtuous heroes!

I think it depends on the story.

Oh, that makes sense. You can't really judge how you feel about unless you know the context, right?

What's important here is how the hero turns evil, right? Thank you, Anzu! I can use this as reference!

3/3

Why did I suddenly mention heroes turning evil? Well… I mentioned that they still haven't decided on the show's details, right?

There's a possibility that we, Ryuseitai, will end up having roles with that sort of concept.

I wanted to hear your thoughts on it as well, so that it may help me with preparing for my role!

Something to help you with that…

Ohh? You'll look for references that could help me!? That would be most helpful!

Now that you're going to help me out, I have to battle through this job so as not to put a stain on all your efforts!

It sounds like a hard role to prepare for.

That's true… The heroes I love most are those that are cool and virtuous, after all.

But this is just one of the many important tasks I must undertake as an idol! I won't slack off just because it isn't anything similar to my ideals! I'll make sure to put all my effort in it!

I'm always willing to help out.

Thank you! The same goes for you, Anzu. If there's anything you're struggling with, please let me know.

I may end up turning evil for my given role, but for your sake, I'm always willing to rush to your side as a hero…☆
