Listen up, everyone! That includes all of you participating in this contest, and all of you guys in the audience!

The SEKAI Acting Contest, the Len & Emu Cup, will begin momentarily!

Woohoo♪

First, allow me to explain the rules for this contest. Each category will have its own script, and you'll be tasked with reciting lines from it.

You can't go changing the lines entirely, but you can adjust them a little if you want to!

Right! Which means ad-libbing is allowed!

Next, we have our judges.

KAITO and the others will each score contestants based on a ten-point scale.

Thank you for doing this, KAITO!

And you guys for agreeing to help him, Tsukasa, Nene, Rui!

Of course we agreed to help.

You didn't honestly think we'd pass up such a fun event, did you?

Plus, the scripts you guys picked for these categories all seemed really good.

Yes, I think we're all looking forward to seeing everyone's performances.

Then, let's get this contest started!

Our first category is... “Cuteness”!

Let's go!

“Oh, those cookies look so yummy♪”

“Can I have one? Please...”

“Pretty please with sugar on top!

Just one... That's okay, right☆”

They've definitely all come up with plans as to how they're going to capture everyone's hearts with their cuteness.

Yes, despite each performance only being a few lines long, they were all very compelling. Next, we have...

Entry number seven! Kagamine Len!

Thank you for having me.

“Oh, those cookies look so yummy♪”

“Can I have one? Please?”

“...”

“Pretty please with sugar on top!

Just one is okay, right☆”

Oh, I liked the way he paused for a second there!

Yes, he used his eyes very well there just now. If he acted that way in front of me, I'd probably give him all the cookies instead of just one.

“What...? Of course I have a conscience.

I am human, after all.”

“But all is fair in love and war.

If it means getting that man to notice me, then I am willing to do anything.”

The story of a female spy who is willing to resort to any means in order to complete her mission, for the one she loves. What a bewitching performance!

Yeah, MEIKO really knows how to look and act beautiful. What did you think, Rui—

Huh? Luka?

Hehe. Rui's over there...♪

Entry number X. Rui Kamishiro.

Thank you for having me!

What?!

“What...?”

“Of course I have a conscience.

Even... Even I am human, after all!”

“But all is fair in love and war!

If it means getting that man to notice me...”

“Then I am willing to do...anything...”

What...?!

No fair, Rui! I want to be in this contest too!

Entry number eight! Emu Otori!

“It's not that I'm too strong to give up.”

“It's because heroes aren't supposed to give up.”

Interesting. She chose to shine a light on how heroes can feel very lonely at times, because they can't afford to show any weakness.

Yes, and the way she presented her character's resolve to keep being a hero was very cool. She definitely deserves some points for that.

Hey, we're missing someone again.

Entry number X2! Tsukasa Tenma! Here we go!

You can do it♪

Thank you all for participating in the SEKAI Acting Contest! I really learned a lot watching your performances!

Yeah, me too!

Thanks for doing this for us, Len, Emu☆

That was really fun!

Also, congratulations on winning the Cuteness and Coolness categories.

Thanks!

You also put on a stellar performance, Tsukasa. And you were so close. Just one point behind Emu.

I already had a rough idea of how I'd play that character.

But I certainly would've worked on it more if I knew that we were allowed to jump in at the last minute.

You also came close in the Elegance category, Rui!

Yes, I couldn't quite match MEIKO's performance, but it was nice to be able to apply what I've learned at Morinomiya about playing a female character.

Right. Kikyogumi may consist of only boys, but you still play female characters.

Congratulations again to the both of you, Len, Emu! Bravo!

Thanks for helping us out with this, KAITO!

We never would've been able to compete in it ourselves if you hadn't.

And thanks again for agreeing to do this with me, Emu!

No, I should be the one thanking you!

I was able to learn so many new things about acting because of you!

And it's two birds with one stone in my case, since I got to run an actual contest☆

So, Len, thank you very much!

Hehe! You're welcome!
