In the story she wrote, Setsuna successfully confessed her feelings on the night of the cultural festival at the end of October, while Touma Kazusa flew abroad in mid-February of the following year.

The time span is too long, making it hard for viewers to believe that they didn't do anything after they started dating. To avoid impacting Setsuna's singing career, this part needs to be revised.

First, we can set a curfew for the Kogiso family, requiring them to be home before 10 p.m.

Secondly, following the theme of "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions," the character Ogiso Setsuna is portrayed as not being very clear about what she will do after starting a relationship. This overly innocent nature is quite in line with the character of an idol singer, but it remains to be seen whether the audience will believe it.

Secondly, although the original lines are already quite classic, many classic lines and scenes from the "White Album" genre can also be added.

"Ms. Mai, do you know the term 'battleground'?"

"Of course, this usually refers to a scene where two women are fighting over one man, which is indeed very similar to this anime. However, Touma's emotions are too reserved, and they only fully erupt at the end, making it difficult to create a chaotic situation."

"We can design it to be more subtle. Also, we need to do a lot of profiling on the psychological changes of Touma Kazusa after they start dating."

After a moment's thought, Maitake suggested:

"In that case, should we move Touma Kazusa's perspective on the past from episode 12 to episode 9, after the two started dating?"

"This will instantly shift the audience's favor to Touma, and Setsuna's reputation will plummet. The key to this 'battleground' lies in equal screen time and evaluations for both female leads."

"That's true. Here, it's still up to Setsuna to take the initiative. She knew that Touma liked Kitahara Haruki, but she confessed first. After that, she greedily wanted the relationship between the three of them to remain unchanged."

Masamune nodded slightly, thinking as he spoke:

"Touma wants to keep his distance from the two of them, while Setsuna wants to maintain the relationship between the three of them, and the conflict between them gradually intensifies. By episode 11, the conflict between the two sides has completely erupted."

Maitake's eyes lit up and she smiled:

"So, at the end of episode 11, it can be pointed out that Setsuna was actually worried that Touma and Kitahara were getting along too well and that she would be left out, so she confessed her feelings first. In reality, she didn't particularly like Kitahara."

"Therefore, I was able to remain calm and composed when I took the initiative to break up with him."

Masamune fell into deep thought. This completely whitewashed Setsuna's romantic mindset, turning it into a friendship-centric one. It seemed harmless on the surface, but…

Amidst the discussion, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.

"Please come in!"

The next moment, Setsuna Ogiso, the person being discussed, pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. Masamune, you were looking for me?"

"That's right, you've come at the perfect time. We're discussing the ending of the White Album animation, you should listen in."

"Okay."

"The changes in the earlier parts are mainly minor details, which we are still discussing. The changes to the ending are mainly..."

Masamune repeated what he had just said, while a new scriptwriter quickly took meeting notes.

"Hmm...Did Touma and Kitahara get back together after five years?"

Ogiso Setsuna muttered to herself, unconsciously thinking:

This time, she didn't interfere; it's no longer a three-person game, but a romance between the two of them. The progress shouldn't be as bumpy.

"However, Touma is really going too far. She clearly likes him, but she doesn't say anything."

"After I successfully confessed my feelings, another unexpected problem arose."

"I'm also a very unreasonable woman. I knew they liked each other, but I confessed my feelings first and succeeded, which made the relationship between the three of us very awkward."

"Moreover, they are very greedy, wanting both romance and friendship."

"Kitahara is even more outrageous. You can either choose one or be greedy and have both, but he just keeps hesitating."

Did she say something terrible?

Masamune smiled unconsciously, then asked:

"Kaori Miyazono just called and said that the two of them have officially started dating. Whoever is the worst has nothing to do with you anymore, Setsuna-san."

"Huh...? Did I say it out loud? Hehe... So they only started dating today?"

"Ah."

"I thought it had already started several days ago, but it's only just started now. That's good, though, so if I run into someone on campus, I won't have to worry too much."

Ogiso Setsuna smiled slightly, her expression gradually relaxing, and said casually:

“Back in school, I was always a little embarrassed to greet them whenever I ran into them.”

"After all, the character I played in the story went too far, intertwining friendship and romance, making it a complete mess."

"Fortunately, we're not in the same class. As long as we avoid those few key points each day, we basically won't run into each other."

"However, starting today, we can greet them properly and smile as we wish them a happy wedding in the future."

"Hmm," Masamune responded softly, then asked, "How's your singing practice going?"

“If I were performing alone, I could do it flawlessly, even while singing and dancing. But with three people performing together, it’s just too difficult, and I make mistakes almost every time.”

At this point, Ogiso Setsuna changed the subject and excitedly said:

"However, this song is amazing, and the dance has a magical power. When the two are combined, it feels like a strange chemical reaction is produced, just like 1 plus 1 equals 11."

“Umaru has excellent athletic ability; she performs better than me when jumping solo. Chitose is a bit lazy, but she trains hard every day when it comes to work.”

"The teacher said that in about half a month, we will be able to perform on stage without embarrassing ourselves."

Half a month?

Masamune pondered for a moment, then said:

"Your school festival is in about two weeks. What's the timing like? Will it conflict with the schedule?"

"No, we've discussed it carefully. The school festival performance will only be delayed by an hour at most. Since there's only one song, it won't have a big impact on our stamina."

"Can't we skip the school festival?"

"I will never give up. If I promise someone something, I will stick to it until the end. Also, I am really looking forward to performing at the school festival. This is the first time in my three years of high school that I will sing in front of the whole school. My parents will be there that day."

"come on."

"Thank you. If you're free that day, Mr. Masamune, please come and watch our performance."

"no problem."

"By the way, what did Mr. Masamune call me here for today? Is it just to discuss the script?"

"We've prepared a few designs for the outfit you'll be wearing during the performance. Discuss them and choose one. If you're not satisfied with any of them, please give us your feedback and we'll have the designer revise them."

"Are the clothes ready? No problem."

Soon after, in the office on the second floor, Ogiso Setsuna and Karasuma Chitose met the fashion designer together.

Looking at the clothes displayed on the computer from various angles, the two exchanged a glance.

"President, this outfit is beautiful, but isn't there too much fabric?" Karasuma Chitose was the first to speak up. "It may not be the nicest way to put it, but during performances, aren't we usually showing our thighs? The skirts are usually very short."

"By the time you perform, it will be almost November. If you wear miniskirts and freeze like dogs, how can you perform well? Besides, this song is very good, there's no need for all those fancy tricks."

"That's true. But will this song become a hit? I have a bit of an unease about it."

"That's something to consider after the release. What you need to do today is look at the clothes."

"understand!"

Karasuma Chitose made an OK sign and looked at the computer screen again.

“Every single one is so beautiful, it’s really hard to choose. Why don’t we make them all? We can change into one for each performance.”

“That’s no problem, but we need to choose a song for our first performance today, so we must also choose an outfit,” Masamune said in a deep voice.

"This is so difficult... Where's Umaru? Let's wait for her to come and choose together."

"Umaru went to school; it should still be during class time now."

"Huh...? Then... why didn't Setsuna go to school?" Karasuma Chitose subconsciously looked at Ogiso Setsuna.

"I've taken leave. What about Chitose?"

"Me too. Hehe... Compared to the two of us, Umaru is a perfect student."

"I think she just wanted to know what her friends thought of last night's animation as soon as possible, right?"

The next moment, the two understood each other and laughed.

"President, can we reserve our opinion for now? We can decide what Umaru should wear for the performance together after she sees it this afternoon."

"no problem."

Masamune nodded slightly, took the document handed to him by Miki Ando, ​​and spoke again:

"In that case, let's take this back with us, and the three of us can choose together this afternoon."

"What is this?" Ogiso Setsuna asked instinctively.

"To avoid your debut single going unnoticed, we've prepared some TV shows for you. You can choose a few to go on and promote your new song, depending on your available time."

Are the three of you going on the show together?

"That's right, we can take advantage of Umaru's current popularity."

"Isn't this a bit... inappropriate?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. We will provide Xiaomai with a separate sum of money as compensation.”

"I see."

If that's the case, then it doesn't matter.

Ogiso Setsuna felt somewhat relieved and then looked down to observe.

"Can I choose any of these programs?"

"These are programs we carefully selected. Each one has a certain level of fame and will not have a negative impact on you."

"Thank you."

Although she had little experience, Ogiso Setsuna could easily guess that this must be the result of paid sponsorship.

Otherwise, as a complete newcomer, I definitely wouldn't have had the chance to appear on TV.

……

Because she had taken leave, Setsuna spent the entire day in Musashino, practicing singing and dancing, and assisting with script revisions and character design.
