Since today was the first time the four had gathered together and the first live broadcast, they first introduced their work.
About Mile, who plays the role of Mile, Kazuki commented, "Mile is a cute girl from the outside, but her facial expression changes frequently when I play her, so I had a lot of fun playing her. When playing Misato Kurihara, Mile's pre-reincarnation character, she also shared an episode from the postrecording session: "Mile says some lines in homage to various modern works and commercials that she remembered from her Kairi days, and it was difficult to give them a unique nuance, but it was fun. It was difficult to get those unique nuances, but it was fun.

Next, Tokui introduced Raina as "a cute and supportive character who tries her best to lead the other three. She is hardworking and her fighting parts are pretty cool," he said, looking forward to seeing her in action.

Uchimura also commented on Mavis, "Mavis is just so cool! commented Uchimura. The other cast members responded, "He's good-looking," and "He's got this cool look, but he's so outgoing," to which Uchimura replied, "At 17, he's older than everyone else, so there's a good balance in that he's also solid.

Finally, Tazawa introduced Pauline as "14 years old, but she has a great style," to which the other cast members responded, "That's foul! The other cast members responded, "That's another thing we go in for, isn't it? Also, according to Tazawa, Pauline is "the person who should not be offended the most, and I think that part will come out later on, so please look forward to it.

The first episode was then shown in advance for about 12 minutes.
The first episode begins with Mile (CV: Azumi Wake) visiting the Kingdom of Tirs to become a hunter. Mile is determined to "find a normal happiness this time! Mile, who is determined to "find normal happiness this time!", has a chance encounter with Raina (CV: Tokui Aozora), a magician, Mavis (CV: Uchimura Fumiko), an aspiring knight, and Pauline (CV: Tazawa Maazumi), the daughter of a merchant family, in the town. Mile tries to act very "normal," hoping to make friends and lead a normal life in his new land, but to his surprise, he hears about the frequent incidents of children going missing in the royal capital, and he cannot leave it at that. During his investigation, he gets tangled up with a villain and is in trouble, when someone calls out to him.

As a special announcement today, the cast of three popular characters from the original story, Marcella, Monica, and Oriana, have been announced.

Letters from these three cast members to Waki and the program audience were prepared, and Tokui, Uchimura, and Tazawa read them on their behalf.
Kawase, who plays Marcella, said, "The interaction between Marcella and Mile-chan, who is a natural, is very lively and cute, so I hope you will pay attention to that as well. Mile-chan, thank you for always remembering the three of us.
Yasuno, who plays Monica, said, "As the story of the four members of the Red Vow, who are bound together by bonds, progresses, we at Eklund Academy will be remembered from time to time. Even though we are apart now, I can feel the friendship that is so important to us. Please enjoy the episodes at Eklund Academy♪"
Tojo, who plays Oriana, said, "Mile-chan and I became friends first! It's us! Please enjoy the friendly exchange between us and Mile-chan, which is no less than the Red Pledge!he wrote in a letter.

The scene was very exciting. As they exchanged their opinions, Kazuki commented, "Monica and Yasuno-san are both gentle and inclusive characters, and I feel a similarity between them.
He also commented on Marcella, "She is a really nice girl. She is warm, compassionate, and thinks about Mile" and about Oriana, "Oriana watches over Marcela, who is tsundere like Raina, and says, 'Isn't she cute? Oriana is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm a little bit curious about what she's really thinking.

The recording session was over, but the four of them had become good friends. I hope the four of us can do something together like we did this time," said Kazuki. Tokui said, "We would love to do that. How about you? The comments were "I wish we could do a radio show.

Tazawa commented on the opening theme, "It's a cheerful and uplifting song," and Uchimura said, "It's so catchy that I can't help but hum along to it when it comes on. Tokui commented on the lyrics written by Aki Hata, saying, "It's full of energy, but the chorus lyrics are a bit poignant.

Regarding the ED theme "Genzai↑Banzai↑" sung by Mile (CV. Azumi Waki), Waki commented, "It's a positive and warm song about being reborn and being glad to be here. Kairi sometimes covers the song with her voice, so I hope you will pay attention to it.

Tazawa: "Today's video of the first episode ended on a good note, but the rest of the show is very interesting as well, so please look forward to it. Thank you very much for your time today."
Uchimura: "Please listen to the radio show where you can meet the members of "Aka Ki Oath" again. Thank you very much for today.

Cast comments for the characters revealed during the live broadcast】 ※Titles omitted

Maki Kawase as Marcella
Marcella is a girl with a kind of unapproachable atmosphere, but....
If I were in this world, I would want to be her friend too! She is that kind of girl.
Please look forward to the relationship between Mile, Marcella, Monica, and Oriana!

Kiono Anno as Monica
I played the role of Monica, one of the first three friends Mile made. Monica is the daughter of an ordinary merchant family who attends Eklund Academy. In the episode where she meets Mile, it was interesting to see the discrepancy between the three of them and Mile's senses! As a result, the four of them become close friends, but after reading the story, I was glad that they met each other...and I am glad that they met each other.

■Hisako Tojo as Oriana
Oriana is a serious and strong girl.
When we were recording the performance, she explained to me that "she is like a shadowy leader among the trio of Monica, Marcella, and Oriana," which contrasted with her simple appearance and left a very strong impression on me.
I would be happy if you could enjoy the unique atmosphere created by the three of them together with Lady Marcella and Monica in the anime.
