What? Isn't this mistranslated?? Elisha says something along the lines of "The submission was marked as a collaboration... it had written on it to call this person too if it won... I won [too]...!" In other words, Honoka had included Elisha's name with her manuscript (the one they had the big gay promise about in 289, that she found out about for the first time in 290, which won and they were celebrating in 304) without her knowledge. That's why the publisher calls Elisha second after Honoka, and why their call is a shock to her. She did not submit anything herself, and was focused on assisting Honoka; Honoka secretly crediting her is a massive gesture of love and gratitude, which leads into the tender tone of their conversation after that.
I've spent the past 2 weeks flipping out over this since reading the raws, because it's so amazing! Chads don't do this to meeeeeeee
