1: Hey you, would you like to become famous?
2: Ehh?

281)
1: Ahh, wait!
2: There's no need to be afraid.
3: This...
4: is who I am.
5: Shima from Dream Productions.

282)
1: Ah, I'm sorry!
2: I didn't mean to grab you like that!
3: I really must apologize. Scouts like me aren't allowed to touch out treasures' bodies.
4: Oh, sorry. Treasures are what we call attractive girls like yourself.
5: This is Takeshita Road...

283)
1: Honna Mimiko was once scouted while walking here as well.
2: There's got to be a scouter around here somewhere.
3: Yeah...
4: I don't really see any people that look like scouts, though.
5: Yeah, me neither.
6: What a drag. We got all dressed up for nothing...
7: I guess there's no helping it, it is a bit late...
8: Let's come multiple times tomorrow.
9: Would you mind coming into this Alice in Wonderland coffee shop with me?

284)
1: Lots of girls come here.
2: And that's because only girls and people associated with the entertainment world are allowed inside.
sfx: gih
3: Look.
4: Welcome.
5: This spot looks open.

285)
1: I'll have the chestnut crepe and black tea set.
sfx: koton
2: Nakamichi Kaoru sometimes eats crepes here too.
3: Who's Nakamichi Kaoru?
4: Huh?! You don't know who Nakamichi Kaoru is?
5: She's a star idol gradually gaining more and more popularity lately after appearing in a lot of action movies!
6: O-oh really...?
7: Which actors or actresses are you familiar with?
8: U-ummmm...

286)
1: W-well...
2: Hyoudou Takeru.
3: Hyoudou Takeru...
4: Well, there's no one in Japan who doesn't know who he is.
5: Looks like you're not really into entertainment, huh?

287)
1: Hey, hey, isn't that a scout?
2: Hyoudou Takeru is a big star that every single girl looks up to.
3: Yes.
4: I see...
5: Well I just happen to be looking for a girl like that.
6: Ehh?!
7: But...

288)
1: To us, a girl that doesn't know anything is the best possible kind!
2: We have absolutely no interest in girls who simply want to be famous, like those two who walked by us earlier!
3: Oh my!
4: And do you know why?

289)
1: N-no...
2: Because those girls like to stand out!
3: Those kind of girls, once they make their debut, will probably be able to do a decent job...
4: But they'll never become anything really big!!
5: The girls who become big...
6: are not biased toward the entertainment industry...
7: Just like you!!

290)
1: Not only that...
2: But you have some kind of hidden, mysterious charm about you!!

291)
1: Miyoko-san went into that shop.
2: I followed her all the way here...
3: I have to keep my eye on her.
4: But there are guards there...
sfx(2): bark
5: Now's my chance!
sfx: gih

292)
1: T-that thing...
2: How could Miyoko-san be possessed by that thing...
3: It must have been some kind of illusion!

293)
1: Ahh!!
