"Hello everyone, I am You Zilu."

The young man, sitting comfortably on the sofa, introduced himself and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha, I bet usually at this time you would be hearing my annoying junior's opening speech, but today it's me!"

He wore a white shirt, black vest, suit pants and leather shoes. If he were also wearing a kitchen apron, everyone would probably think he was a waiter.

"Welcome to the 'Chatty Café Manager's Symposium'. Today's symposium has absolutely no relation to any main storyline and takes place at a random time and random place. However, we do have some very special guests with us today."

He put on a mysterious smile that he would never normally show.

"As a commemorative special for 'Hradguy's Wonderful Adventure', which has received 150,000 clicks, we have invited ~Rip and his happy little companions~ as our guests."

The lights came on and the guests appeared in their seats across from You Zilu.

"Hello everyone, I'm Rip."

Rip scratched the back of his head and introduced himself to the non-existent audience.

"The human song is a song of courage!"

Proudly, he struck Jojo's iconic pose.

"Huh? What is this plan for anyway?"

Hertie questioned disapprovingly, looking at Dars.

"Isn't this when you're supposed to introduce me more solemnly?"

Ms. Aige expressed dissatisfaction with not receiving a separate introduction.

"It's been so long since my last appearance, may I go next?"

Nancy, feeling somewhat anxious, put her hands on her knees.

"Wait a minute, isn't it my turn according to the order of appearance?"

Minets didn't care much but still raised an objection.

"I really have nothing to say."

Luke put on a cold attitude.

"Hey? Is that a camera over there?"

Gaiter was excited.

"I, I'm really not good at being looked at..."

Ashlie felt a little embarrassed and avoided the gaze of the others.

"And of course, there are ~~~~the bunnies!"

Finishing the introduction, Timmermans, Suanna, Wines and Tiana all came and sat down by the young man's feet.

In particular, Tiana even jumped onto his lap.

"Alright then."

The young man, who loved small animals, played with the bunnies' heads.

"It's time to start our interview!"

You Zilu (hereafter referred to as You): Firstly, Rip, as the captain of the team, don't you have something to say?

Rip (hereafter referred to as Ray): Well, I've been taken care of by everyone for a long time, and I feel fulfilled.

You (leaning back on the chair with pride): Very good, I didn't teach you for nothing.

Ray: Se- senpai.

You: What?

Ray: Please don't treat me like that stupid kid from before. At least I'm a captain...

You: Ha! I don't care!

Ray (showing a look of despair): Ah, I thought so.

You: Alright, onto the next person.

Dars (hereafter referred to as Darla): Coming from a different world, treading through a thousand mountains, just for the -

You: Ah, that's a long opening speech, let's do without it, you're not in a gang, after all.

Darla (dejectedly shrugging): Ah, okay...

You: The thing I most want to ask is, are you from the Sengoku Lance world?

Darla (shoulders flinching in fear): Why would you think that?!

You: Look at your green clothings, your tattered metal chest armor, your brown mane and that expression – it's just like some kind of sadistic protagonist from a twisted hentai anime!

Darla: That's just the author's lazy character design! I have nothing in common with that guy!

You: Oh? Didn't you go to a nightclub and put your hands on a hostess while saying that?

Hertie (hereafter referred to as Hert): Ah?!!

Darla (terrified): Hert, Hertie, listen to my explanation!

You: Well, it seems this couple is in their own world, let's move on to the next person.

Darla: Don't just stand there, come save me!You: Hmm, did you not hear or see? Do you all know already?

The group nodded.

You: Next up is Miss Aige.

Miss Aige (hereafter referred to as Ai): Hello everyone, I am the female lead of this work, Aige Shatakhel.

You: Hmph~ claiming herself the female lead like it's nothing.

Ai (pointing at her chin): Well, considering my intimacy with Mr. Rip, the number of times we've talked and the depth of our feelings, I think only Dalles could claim to be the female lead compared to me, right?

Miss Nancy (hereafter referred to as Lan): Uh, RipxDalles...

You: Ah, that rotten paladin over there should keep her thoughts to herself.

Lan (apologetically lowering her head): Ah, sorry.

You: Personally, I want to ask little Ai, how much of her teasing with Rip is serious?

Ai (proudly puffing her chest): It's always 100% serious!

You (with a hint of envy): Is she really that straightforward?

Ai: Compared to my 100% seriousness, Mr. Rip doesn't take it seriously at all.

Rip: Because... I don't want to join some weird brotherhood.

You: Hmm, we can discuss later about how my junior is a shrimp.

Rip: It's not because I'm a shrimp!

You: Ah, ah, next up!

Lan: Hello everyone, I'm Anastasia Nancy who hasn't shown up for a long time.

You: No need to be so formal. From what I've heard personally, little Anastasia has always had good popularity.

Lan: Huh? Really? Even though I haven't shown up for so long?

You: It's true, the author initially had a vote for readers to choose whether you or Ai would join the team first, but you won by an overwhelming advantage.

Lan: Huh? But I was still frozen for four volumes!

Ai: This only proves that I am the female lead~

You: Well, that's just the way this author is.

Lan (with an amazed expression): Can everything really be explained with just that sentence?

You (with a very serious expression): Yes.

Lan: Huh? I thought my character was abandoned for a while!

You: That’s not the case. If I’m not mistaken, the author was planning to immediately enter the [Princess Arc] where you would be the protagonist, but the story in Kolin City kept getting longer and longer, and the necessary characters didn’t show up, so it became like this.

Lan: Is that so...

You: Of course, a big part of the reason is that your character's role was taken by Miss Fullos from the chūnibyō Sword Saint side.

Lan: What!?

You (looking towards the very criticized Dals): It seems like our Helli has finished criticizing Dalles, it's time for her to introduce herself.

Lan: Is it really okay to end my part like this...

Helli: Hello, I'm Helli Shiro.

You: Well, just a simple self-introduction.

Helli: Because I don't have that much to brag about.

You: I completely disagree, for example, Shiro is actually your family name, not Dals' right?

Helli: I didn't expect you to bring that up, yes, Shiro is my family name, Dals didn't have a family name before we got married.

Rip: Is it like not wanting a surname, like me?

Helli: No, it seems to be because he thought he would become a transmigrant.

Dals: Hey! Why is the attention on me again!

You: Like gender, for example...

Helli (cautiously): Isn't this not a topic of conversation?

You: Don't worry, this studio has no connection to the outside world or the main story!

Helli: Really?

You: Really. (Looking towards Dals)

Dals: Huh?

Helli: Dear, I am a boy.

Dals: Huh?!

Helli: Do you want to experience it yourself?

Dals: Huh?! Ahhhhh!

You: Ah, ah, halfway through the surprise it became a scream... and Helli still has an enjoyable expression, she's been holding it in for a long time...

Rip: I don't know why... but I feel relieved somehow...You: Aren't you too irresponsible?

Rui: Seniors and I both knew about the stomach pains after a few months.

You: Okay, next!

Meinatz (abbreviated as Mi): Hello everyone, my name is Shina Meinatz.

You: Hmm, hello Shina.

Mi: Mr. You taught Rip how to fight, right?

You: Well, in a sense, yes.

Mi: Did you teach him that reckless fighting style too?

You: Hey, isn't this supposed to be my turn to ask questions now?

Mi: Just tell the truth.

You: No, it's not like that.

Mi: Come on!

You: I only taught him how to defeat the enemy! I didn't teach him how to self-destruct!

Mi: Okay then.

You: Well... I'm glad my answer satisfied you. Do you have anything else to say?

Mi: No, that's all.

You: Okay, next, next!

Gait (abbreviated as Ge): Hello everyone, I'm Gait Michel, the new member of this team.

You: Oh, you're quite sturdy.

Rui: Yeah, I think you should just be called Sturdy.

Ge: No way! Michel is a proud surname of my family! After my family defeated the Frost Giants four hundred years ago--

Rui/You (in unison): We're not interested in such a long preamble!

Ge: Fine, damn it!

You: Speaking of Gait, although he hasn't had much screen time, he's quite strong in attacking women.

Ge: Hmm, the people from the North aren't very good at being subtle.

You: But you didn't make a move on the women in the team?

Ge: Well, when I first arrived at the castle, Luke warned me all night not to mess with Rip's women.

Ai (looking quite interested): Oh?

Luke (abbreviated as Lu): Huh? Isn't that how it is?

Rui: I don't even know how many times I have to explain this to you...

You: But I'm curious, are the people from the North very aggressive in terms of reproduction?

Ge: Hmm, because the living conditions are quite harsh, having offspring as early as possible is normal.

You: Ah, I see.
