Lesse, so I just gotta tag out an' I'm golden, right? Man, it's kinda hard ta do these things after ya go on hiatus for a bit...

[ Walking until she spots someone... familiar... ]

Oi, what's with that face? Ya really think cute girls are gonna talk to ya lookin' like that?

[flagrances]

Oh yeah, ya know a lot about that sorta thing, huh.

[pattan]

I'm an idol otaku! Not a general cosplay otaku! There's a huge difference!!

[flagrances]

In the end, yer all geeks, anyway!!

[pattan]

You'll never have a fanbase if you talk down to otaku like that.

[flagrances]

For someone they can relate to, ya don't have much of one either.

[pattan]

Maybe it's because we play the role of tsukkomi too much...

[flagrances]

Ahhhh, that's probably it. Bossun an' Gin-san play boke enough that it's kinda endearin' ta the readers, ain't it? But no one likes a killjoy...

[pattan]

But we're needed! Without us, our series would become completely nonsensical!

[flagrances]

After all, the straight man's essential in any gag manga.

[pattan]

Plus...our designs are kind of boring.

[flagrances]

O-oi, don't be too hard on yerself... Yer glasses are pretty unique...

[pattan]

...I said 'our.'

[flagrances]

That kimono is pretty awful even for you, though...

[pattan]

WHY ARE YOU JUST FOCUSING ON ME?!

[flagrances]

NG. This entire character design is NG.

Let's scrap it.
