>>88738962"Them" who? Do you mean the branch as a whole, or just those seven livers in particular?
Because if you mean the branch, then you're 100% correct. But if you mean those seven, then...
...you're 100% correct>>88739737"They" who? Do you mean Aia, or management? Scarle probably doesn't know it, and definitely doesn't care; she just wants to have fun and for her viewers to have fun, and she is doing an amazing job at both. Being the top grosser in EN is just a bonus.
I don't know whether or not Aia realizes she and Scarle are... well I wouldn't say "keeping EN afloat," it's more like "delaying the inevitable for as long as possible." But she's probably aware that they're the top two girls in the branch.
Management doesn't care, though. Streaming revenue from the branch as a whole is down by a lot from Q1, and merch sales have dropped so hard that the revenue from sold merch doesn't cover the warehousing costs of the unsold merch. The branch is about to have its worst fiscal quarter since Luxiem's debut, for the second quarter in a row; report card day is in a little under 6 weeks from now, and the report is unlikely to contain any good news for the EN branch.
>They're not gonna close or merge the EN branch! They need to keep up appearances, so that the investors think that the company is still able to compete in the overseas market!There's only so many times you can tell someone "But it'll be different this time, we promise!" before they stop believing that you're making that promise in good faith.
