Chelle: A New Language for the Modern Era

Chelle
People's subjective views are shaped by their different languages. Because of this, one could also say that, without a single common language, people will never overcome their subjective differences. Even with the single official language of Landsol, these differences remain. A second auxiliary language different from people's mother tongues, permating the whole of Landsol (also known as Wholesol) -- that's what I propose the constructed language of Chellese should become. Chelluun. Firstly, it has an adorable-sounding meter that naturally brings smiles to people's faces. Secondly, people can easily learn the grammar of the language in a short time. Because of these two points, it's urgent that we produce a toy to teach people Chellese. Probably. Honestly I'm even really sure what I'm saying at this point. But life is too boring. Rise up, countrymen, and chelluun.

Chloe: I Suck At Essays

Chloe
Today, when I was thinking about my business idea, I remembered a place I "volunteered" at. I've volunteered at lots of stores, but most of my volunteering involved selling weird items. That's why I always thought, "is this thing sellable." But usually the customers just say "this one please." I thought, "retail sure is weird." So, now, because I like clothes, I'm thinking, "I want to sell clothes." That's why, when I was wondering about whether customers would say, "this one please," I was thinking about the volunteering I did. Remembering how I used to think "I'm gonna take this super seriously," I said "lol." The end.

Yuni: To the Point of Attaining Flight

Yuni
One day, the author was on an intellectual journey through this lie-infested world. Or to express things more concisely, she was on a walk. Beneath the blue sky, some local youths were playing. They were using toys consisting of a rotating wing attached to a central axle, which would fly when spun. The author was observing them, intrigued, when the youths approached and offered one to her. "Do you wanna try, too?" To their eyes, the author likely appeared to be one of their peers. Indeed, the author is used to her still-underdeveloped body causing others to guess her age incorrectly. In any case, the author did not want to rudely decline their offer. "Yeah, lemme try!" The teachings of the youths lit a spark of inspiration within the author. On that bright day, she turned her attention towards mechanical engineering.

Akino: Eureka!

Akino
The special course was a new experiment for the Mercurius Fondation. We were able to teach many things to the students. But, it is not over yet. There is still more that we should teach to these youths. As such, I arrived at the idea of taking the ideas of the three students who caught our eyes, called either the BFFs Club or Yunichan's, and putting them together to make a whole new business idea. Despite their age and their scattered personalities, I could see that the three of them had exactly the right instincts. If we combine their three ideas into one, then something brand new will be born from it, without a doubt!
Now, let's do it!

Tamaki: Construction, Nya!

Tamaki
Akino said another weird thing. She was talking about a plan to take three ideas and combine them into one. Clearly you can't just take three ideas and mash them together. How'd things end up like this, nya?
But it sounds fun, so I'll give it a try, nya!
That's right! If we're combining a whole bunch of ideas, then I should be able to get my own ideas included, too! I'm kinda getting excited now! First up, taiyaki! A cannon that shoots taiyaki everywhere! That means we'll need special equipment to cook the taiyaki too, right? That's a lot of work... I'll get Yukari to help, nya!

Yukari: Did I Write This...?

Yukari
Impossible. There's no way we could build the thing in this plan. I've got to tell Akino and Tamaki firmly. Honestly... I need to hold things together. Oh, looks like someone's coming.
Akino and Tamaki are bringing me drinks to thank me for putting up with all the trouble they cause. I was just getting thirsty, too. I can warn them about this later. Beer sure is tasty.
Beeeer
Lotsa beeeeeer <- this!
Flooding
Everyone's soooooo happy

Mifuyu: I Can't Just Leave It Like This

Mifuyu
What's with this mountain of invoices!? It's all parts that I don't recognize, with amounts that make my head hurt!? Akino's ideas turn out well sometimes, but this budget is way too risky. But there's no way I can stop them now, so I'll just have to work it out. All I can do is show up at the release. Looking at the quality of the parts they order, it looks like they're even trying to build this on the cheap! And what's this "taiyaki cannon," and all this beer? ... Am I imagining it, or does it say "self-destruct" here? Ugh, Akino's unstoppable, Tamaki's all happy-go-lucky, and Yukari's... away somewhere. What am I supposed to do with this!

Akino: The End of the Special Course

Akino
BFF X, what a splendid way to go. I will never forget your gallantry.

Tamaki
So close, and yet so far. But, you'll be reborn some day!

Yukari
I don't really remember what happened, but I feel desolate for some reason... Hic.

Mifuyu
The three of you, I need to talk to you about the way today's product release went.

Akino
... Certainly, there were some places were we got carried away. Today's release was a valuable experience for the Mercurius Foundation. From this experience, still newer business ideas will be born!

Mifuyu
Could you not summarize it all on your own!? We all need to reflect on what happened!

Yuni: Development Diary - Investigation

Yuni
The development of "BFF X Mk. II" is proceeding, based on the plans recovered by the author from the wreckage of the original model the other day. While the result of the previous project was disastrous, the urge to push onward was irresistable. BFF X -- its future form should aim to be that of an all-in-one unit for battle, life, pleasure, and taiyaki. By applying big data, all of Landsol, or even all of the continent of Astraea, could come under its influence, leading to world conquest. The prospect of such an invention appeals to the author's inner romantic, and the author was quickly unable to restrain her intellectual excitement. I'm on fire.

Yuni: Development Diary - Prototype Complete

Yuni
After much delay, a prototype of the "BFF X Mk. II" has been produced. However, the author is not yet intellectually satisfied. This is nothing more than a proof-of-concept mockup. It cooks taiyaki, sprays beer, and talks in Chellese. So what could be the reason. The author feels neither excitement nor romanticism. Something is missing. The author doesn't know what. The author gunununu.
In that moment, an idea came. If the author herself could not fill in the gap, then perhaps someone else could. The author is enjoying her youth. Even a shut-in such as her has reliable friends to turn to. She feels that she learns much from her daily conversations with them. Perhaps enlightenment will be found with them.
To express things more concisely, gather, Yunichan's!

Yuni: Development Diary - Final Stage

Yuni
Pfff, chelluun! Nice. The author absorbed too much from her conversations with her friends, resulting in significant damage to her language patterns. As expected of the author. Well, whatever. Still, the conversation with them was quite profound. Conclusion, an unexpected invention needs a novel appearance. The missing pieces are slowly falling into place. Then, we can move to the final stage. Meaning, choosing the color. For instance, by coloring it green using a special paint, one can evoke the image of precious minerals like emeralds. This is the most important choice, the main color. The author must confer with her reliable collaborators. The author will leave it there while waiting for their decision. That is all.
