"This theatre owner clearly had no idea what he was doing! He clearly doesn't know anything about vtubers!"
- Eclair Baudz, being ignorant
Executive Summary: Eclair schools El Dramaturg on what a vtuber is, and its relation to acting. We meet Lumi for the first time.

"A vtuber, is someone who puts on a virtual avatar, a skinsuit [3] if you will! With this skinsuit, she performs for an audience through the vast expanses of the intxrnxt! You should know this much, at least!"
Even as she is walking down the hallway, Eclair puffs out her chest at having read out a textbook explanation of what a vtuber is. It was only natural --- walking right next to her is her boss, El Dramaturg.
An abnormally tall masked man with dreams about 'helping AI girls to become vtubers', but...
The man in the golden mask laughs, "Ah.... I thought it was about cute shork girl being cute and funny!"
Eclair narrows her eyes at that comment.
This theatre owner clearly had no idea what he was doing!
He clearly doesn't know anything about vtubers!
Unlike her, an elite of the elite of the elite who was trained at Hakou Emporium, she can recite the textbook definition of a vtuber from heart!
"You should know the genre that you are making your actresses step into at the very least!"
Our high-minded girl pushes up her glasses with a proud, smart glint in her eyes! If it is about 'knowing' things, her brain is bigger --- so she is sure to win!
"Heh. However... Dramaturgy is not just about deep, and ancient knowledge---"
"--- naturally. It is about succeeding." Eclair puffs out her chest even more. How can some small-time theatre owner match the smarts of a recently graduated elite arts school student? The difference in ability is like day and night! She will let him have this one, for this junior dramaturg will soon become the senior!
"--- we are a Theatre House. And here, the job of a dramaturg is... to help our girls become better actresses and better people over time!" As El Dramaturg says that line, her flourishes his red robes right around in a circle, as if he were having fun.
"..."
Helping actresses...
... become better people?
That's not something you would write on the textbook.
He got no reply from the new female dramaturg. In her heart, this only made her look down on him even more. Vtubing is acting. Thus, a dramaturg's role is to give an actress the right feedback to improve her craft.
She knows that. However...
Going by what her time in school taught her...
Entertainment is a cruel red-dust road that claims countless hopes and dreams!
One does not succeed by simply having fun.
That's just being irresponsible as a theatre house owner!
Little wonder she was hired in the first place!
He doesn't even have a clue!
Success is when you are financially stable, and not running a net loss like this theatre house surely is!
"Guh!"
It is as if Eclair's thoughts pierced a hole right through El Dramaturg's heart! For he slipped on his overly long red theatre robe and slammed his mask face-first onto the ground with a loud thud!
Eclair giggles to herself silently, the tension in her dark heart replaced by silent laughter at El Dramaturg's self-imposed faceplant. 'Serves him right', she thinks, as small dizzy birds start flying around his head!
"Oh... I.. I seem to have lost track of time..." The clownish man straightens himself out and adjusts his mask to make sure it is still on! Not out of fear that the mask would drop --- but to look his best for what's next!
"It has been exactly 2036 seconds since we left my room to meet with the actresses. For the sake of efficiency, you should just hurry up!!!"
"Yes, indeed, today is the day you meet the heroine of the story, cute little Eclair!"
He raps the back of his black-gloved hand on the white double-doors of the room he fell in front of---
"(soft, gentle knocking)
Lumi, are you there? Its Mr. Dramaturg. I brought a new friend to see you!"
Little did our new dramaturg know, she was meeting an actress so ahead of her time--- she was changing vtubing even before her debut!
