"I'm home."

"Welcome back, Nana-sama and Rin-nee-chan. I made dinner for you, so please have some later."

"Welcome back. I was watching the stream with Touka."

"No, you were asleep until just now."

"uuh."'

"Why did you lie?"

After the stream, we asked Rin-chan's attendant to clean up the room, and we pulled out early to return to the HEROES headquarters.

Well, when I say headquarters, I just mean the floor below us.

Touka-chan and Suu-chan were already waiting for us there. Seeing them waiting for us like this, only now did I feel like a real team.

"It ended earlier than I thought it would. I thought it would take a little longer."

"As I said in the stream, there's always tomorrow. And Nana herself has been streaming for a long time, so it's a little late for her to say that was her debut. In my opinion, it's better to end it while the viewers are still slightly curious."

"I see. Well, it is Rin-nee-chan's job to be a producer of Nana-sama, so I don't want to interfere."

Although it seemed surprising to her that we stopped the stream early, Touka-chan seemed to follow Rin-chan's decision without any question.

Suu-chan didn't seem to be interested in how I was going to deliver the message, but the look she was giving me was sparkling.

"Nana, Nana, let's have a little fun later."

"At Zero Wars?"

"Yes, apart from team practice, I have a lot of things I want to try with Nana."

"Fufufu, okay. But not to the extent that it will affect tomorrow, okay?"

"I understand! I was sleeping earlier, so I will be fine!"

"I don't know about that. I mean, you said you're not sleeping just now?"

"Actually, I was asleep."

Then why did you lie like you were awake earlier?

Ignoring that, Suu-chan seems to be spirited thanks to plenty of sleep, but no matter how much one sleeps, it is not possible to save and accumulate it.

At worse, she might not be able to sleep at night, and it might affect her condition tomorrow, but then I reconsidered that a player of Suu-chan's level would not make such a trivial mistake. {tl: jinx}

Even if it really affects tomorrow, Rin-chan will do something about it.

After eating dinner prepared by Touka-chan, the four of us went to the meeting room.

"Now, it's time to talk about tomorrow's approach."

As Rin-chan said this, the lights in the room went out, and an image was projected on the wall. I looked closely and saw a projector sticking out of the ceiling, and I thought to myself, how could they have gone to such great lengths to remodel the apartment?

"Tomorrow is the main competition. Today's preliminary round was just a festival, but tomorrow will be different. There will be strong competitors. Suupaa, is there anyone on this list who looks troublesome for you?"

The image from the tablet device in Rin-chan's hand was being projected on the wall, and the names and members of the teams competing in the main competition were all lined up on the projected screen.

Suu-chan looked at the screen for a moment and then began to name some of them.

"Ummm.... among them, Photon, Crevasse, and Karuwaza Yuta. These three are unquestionably strong. Especially Photon, that one is exceptional. In Japan, she is the next strongest after me."
