WHAT?! How did we end up in the red?! Did we actually lose that much?!
Congrats on the show. It was a huge success.
A lot of the workers wanted to thank you in person.
Wait, are you ... embarrassed about it?
And what kind of "shelter" are you hoping for?
You alright? Was it something I said?
Sure, we could use a brand ambassador right about now.
You don't plan to rest a bit first?
Oh! Ah, haha! Endmin! Were you looking for me?
Endfield should be able to keep you safe.
Of course it was! After all that preparation and putting my best into it, it had to be!
Heh, no need for that! Giving my absolute best to every fan is just part of being the perfect idol!
O-of course not! Anyway, even though the agency wants to keep things quiet for now and not announce the contract termination...
My upcoming tour plans are probably going to be hit pretty hard...
(Though, the higher-ups didn't even tack on extra penalties for breaking the contract... I had so many backup plans ready too...)
(Did Winston finally grow a conscience?)
What am I supposed to do now...
(Huh?! HUHHHH?! That reaction ... was way too calm!! Shouldn't you be more surprised? More excited?!)
(Hmph! Just you wait. One day, I'll make you completely surrender to the radiance of perfect little Liino! I swear it on the name of Djall!)
Oh... Um, nothing! So, does that mean you can take me to Dijiang now? I've been super curious about that place!
Anyway— Looking forward to working with you from now on, Endmin!
Well, I'm hoping for...
The Endmin to back me up! But, you know, to make things look a bit more legit... I figure I should at least go through the motions, like joining Endfield!
*Sobs* Wh-what!? Miss Liino, are you really planning to terminate your contract with the agency? As your manager, I-I respect your decision, of course...
But as a fan, I'm just so heartbroken... *sniffle*...
Alrighty, Cordelia, my ace "sound engineer", don't cry! We'll still see each other! I'm just ending the contract, not leaving La Fantoma for good.
But... I'm just really upset... Even though I vouched for you, the bosses just wouldn't budge... They kept saying, "It's what the higher-ups want."
I even managed to negotiate that Witching Hour endorsement for you! If things hadn't gone wrong, the contract would've been signed next month! But then ... *sobs*...
Oh come on, it's Liino you're talking to! Don't worry, Cordy. Opportunities like that will come back to me sooner or later.
Hehe, okay okay! Anyway, I'll always support you, Miss Liino! No matter where you go and perform, I wish you the very best!
Phew, time to get serious...
Well... Uh... About that... There was a little hiccup, hnnngh... If the Endmin doesn't help and offer some shelter, Liino might just end up stranded in the wild...
So, Endmin? Great idea, right? After all, Endfield doesn't have its own idol brand yet, does it? Ha ... haha...
