PNC Story/Livestreaming Stage 2-6/Script

Even after Kuro's signal to the streaming studio has been cut off, the agents in the channel are still abuzz with discussion.

KTV Agent 1

Things aren't looking good for Kuro. How does the MC usually win at a time like this?

Reading Cafe Agent 1

There's too much data. I can't go through it all.

[Administrator has left the stream.]

[KTV Agent 7 has left the stream.]

KTV Agent 1

If this were a show…

Meanwhile, Kuro runs for her life through the alleys of the KTV District.
She turns on all the music players and speakers she can find. All kinds of songs begin playing at once and become a tremendous cacophony.

Kuro: (Pants heavily) I could get rid of her right now if only I'd gotten an invisibility cloak and a machine gun from my stream boosts, but sadly I didn't.

The sound of music flows through the alley, but she can tell from the tremors that Reverence is firmly on her trail.

Reverence: Where do you think you're going?

Passing Agent: –Over here! Head up, Kuro!

Kuro: …!?

She can hear Reverence drawing close. With no time to think, Kuro immediately uses an Ejector Seat to fly up to the roof of the building.

The audience slowly logs out until there are only two agents left in the channel.

KTV Agent 1

It's been two minutes. We'd be halfway through the song by now. Have you found the answer yet?

Reading Cafe Agent 1

There are too many answers to choose from. If I started listing them out, Kuro would be unbanned before I could finish.

KTV Agent 1

Start with the highest priority ones.

Reading Cafe Agent 1: Um… The MC gets support from a friend in a desperate situation and then pulls themselves together.

In the alley.

Reverence: …Strange, how come her trail ends here?
Reverence: Kuro, my dear? Are you hiding underground or in the sky?

Reverence's question is not answered. It's as though Kuro has simply evaporated in this complex series of alleyways.
Meanwhile, two streets away from Reverence…
Kuro follows the agent to a safe area.

Kuro: Whew… She probably won't be able to catch up with me here.
Kuro: Thank you so much, you were a big help! Have I seen you before? Do you work in the KTVs?

The agent she's questioning fiddles with the corners of her clothes somewhat nervously, and it takes her a while before she can answer.

Nana: Hi… I'm Nana, my stream ID is KTV Agent 7… and I'm a diehard fan of yours.
