Hello! ☆ this is more of a question if anything, but are you gonna translate altantis anytime soon? I know youre translating everything else instead of that, but im curious thats all

(again this is a question, not a request if you dont allow those..)

hi hi o/ i do plan on tling previous unit/idol stories at some point, with atlantis being one of my higher priorities. i want to finish the rest of my current wips by mid-february at least so i can finally start chipping away at my backlog. (very optimistic estimation though, so don't count on it 100% ;;)

as for requests, as long as it focuses on anyone from eden/switch/fine, i don't mind since i'll eventually be tling it anyways. plus it helps me pick which stories to do next, since i tend to find myself jumping between wips otherwise OTL

#my only other priority would be tori and wataru's es2 gacha stories when they drop #since gacha stories are super short and it would be a bit silly to put them off for more than a week at most #◎ info #◎ ask #ephemeralpink

[Event] A Match on the Sugoroku Board / The Die is Cast 2

Natsume: ...

Hinata: He~ya, Rinne-senpai!

I never thought we'd get to work together at CosPro! I'm looking forward to the match between agencies. ♪

Rinne: Well, if it ain't Hina. Yer on your own today.

I woulda thought you'd come here with yer twin, sayin', "2wink are two people workin' as one!", nah?

Hinata: Me and Yuuta-kun aren't joined at hip like we used to~. We're doing a thing where we can take turns showing up, so it's just me this time around.

Ah, and thanks for the hard work, Vice Pres~. Salute~. ☆

Ibara: Whatever. Salute.

Hinata: Ehh, you're so mean! Vice Pres~, you're no fun, you know?

Ibara: It's annoying if you pull the same joke over and over again. It's enough that variety shows are always seeking a reaction from me as is.

Anyways, Switch are the only ones not here yet.

They're a running little later than scheduled. Mikejima-shi, Narukami-shi, would you happen to know why?

Madara: I don't have a clue about what goes on at the agency.

I do take on odd jobs around there and all, but I try not to poke my nose into anything related to the units or idols.

Arashi: Me neither. Lately, whenever I see Aoba-senpai, it's like he's always at the office. Maybe Natsume-chan is stopping him, thinking he should to take a break...?

Ibara: Hm. I tried to call someone from each of your units to let my ever-busy Eden rest.

But as a result, it's not hard to imagine that they're fighting over who should be the one to come represent Switch.

Well, shall we proceed with the people we have here?

I ask that someone from NewDi will tell Switch about what we'll be discussing today. With that out of the way—

Natsume: ...

Hinata: Ah, it's Sakasaki-senpai! Everyone was worried, wondering if you'd come to the meeting or not, you know~?

Natsume: ... (Ignores him.)

Hinata: He's super mad?! What happened?!

Natsume: Nothing 'happened'. Does everyone here know about NETV?!

Arashi: What do you mean...?

Natsume: That venomous snake offered all of us a job, but something felt off, so I conducted an independent investigation.

And wouldn't you know it — I was right. Did you know the director of A Match on the Sugoroku Board was blacklisted in the entertainment industry for committing an act of violence?

Madara: Huh, that's the first I've heard of it.

Natsume: Well, he was going by a different stage name at the time, so it's impossible to find that out from his name alone, but I took the liberty of gathering evidence using connections I have in the industry.

Don't play dumb. You knew, and yet you dragged NewDi into it, didn't you?

Ibara: Ahaha! As expected of your information network~, I'm in awe!

I can't help but admire the fact you never trusted a word I said to that extent. What you said is true.

But don't you think getting mad over that is a bit much?

Natsume: ? What are you saying?

Ibara: The director already regrets what he had done and even paid his fines. The legal process is over — moreover, the victim had settled with him out of court.

For him, who has since reformed, this program might be his chance to make a comeback.

Don't you think it's a waste for him to get held down by his past and even lose his job because of it?

Natsume: The problem here is that you were hiding that fact from us.

Ibara: Are you upset I was 'hiding' the fact I was considerate enough to not make you waste your time by looking into this~?

Or are you saying our individual freedom should be decided by the powers that be?

For you, Natsume-kun, to have won over a man who had lost his way and yet hold that kind of opinion... It seems I've judged you incorrectly as well... ♪

Natsume: ...

Rinne: You two're bickerin' before things even start. Y'all're gettin' so heated, it's like I can see fireworks between y'all.

I'm with ya on that — don'tcha think he made up for the crime he did back then?

Us Crazy:B folks gotta give him respect for that.

Hinata: Rinne-senpai's right~. As for me, I'm fine with it as long as it's interesting.

The project proposal was done properly, so all that's left is deciding to go onto the film set. Doesn't that sound good?

Madara: Rather, if he were still committing crimes, maybe we could even help prevent a future crime before it happens.

I also want to get shown around NETV this one time.

Natsume: ...I understand. I was the one being close-minded here, we'll go with that.

But there won't be a repeat of this. My doubt has grown stronger than before because of your sneak attack.

Senpai also wants to participate in the project, but I took the liberty to confirm things myself.

Ibara: Yes, yes, thank you for doing that!

If you were to ask me, I felt nothing but sympathy for him, knowing his choices for the future became narrower due to the circumstances of his past.

In the event something comes up with A Match on the Sugoroku Board, I'll be there to get all of CosPro's idols out the second it does!

Well then, let me explain what A Match on the Sugoroku Board is! Everyone, please pay attention... ☆

[Event] A Match on the Sugoroku Board / The Die is Cast 1

Madara: Mikeneko-chan?

Rinne: Yaawn, fuu... Aah~, I'm sleepy...

I'm real happy Beehive took off. Never woulda thought I'd actually stay hyped up 'til mornin', but that ended up bein' a nice change-a pace for me too.

Now, my head's poundin' after stayin' out the whole night, so time for me to head on home and sleep.

Madara: Good moooooooorning!

Rinne: Shut up...?!

The hell? Are ya goin' home after a night out? Don'tcha know the cops arrest bad kids like you?

Madara: Hahaha, my bad. I just happened to see a familiar face is all.

I was pretty riled up by what you pulled during SS, so I wanted to get back at you for that! [1]

Rinne: Oi, oi. Don't tell me ya took it seriously, Mikeneko-chan. [2]

That was all staged. Don'tcha know I can't stand ya yellin' at me everywhere I go?

Madara: Mikeneko-chan?

Rinne: I'm free to give ya whatever nickname I want, can't I? It's cuter than gettin' called a 'dangerous bee that's out here stingin' humans'. ♪

Anyways, why're ya here? I ain't a fan idols wanderin' 'round entertainment districts.

Madara: Sorry, but it's not 'cause I was out having fun last night.

MaM tends to get snubbed in comparison to Double Face, but I've been getting more and more on that front lately.

Now that I'm on a roll, I've been hanging around the area looking for any work opportunities.

Since this is downtown, it looks like there's also a lot of workers returning home in the morning just like you are.

Rinne: I gotcha. I was wonderin' if you were hyped up 'cause ya stayed out all night.

But gettin' fucked over in the idol industry, huh... That rings a bell.

Ain't society harsh on outsiders in all kindsa ways? Rinne-kun's tired of y'all...! [3]

Madara: Even Crazy:B gets snubbed, huh. Kohaku-san told me all about it.

You cause trouble whenever you guys have work, so the only jobs Crazy:B do get are the weird ones anyone else would've turned down.

Rinne: Yeah, yeah, and I'm real sick of it. Even if I surround myself with nothin' but good kids, it straight up ain't fun~.

That's why I've also got yer back, Mikeneko-chan.

Alright, lemme treat ya to some gyudon since I'm the onii~san here!

There's nothin' better than eatin' gyudon after stayin' up all night. That's my goodbye gift to ya, so c'mon, let's eat!

Madara: Gyudon? No thanks, I'm not really hungry.

Rinne: Huuuh, ya don't wanna eat the gyudon I'm treatin' ya?

You're so cold~. Are ya turnin' down a senpai who wants to go somewhere with ya?

But I wanted to go eat with Mikeneko-chan~.

Madara: Okay, okay. I'll go with you if you insist.

We make an unlikely pair! It must've been some kind of fate that I ran into you here, don't you think?

<30 minutes later.>

Rinne: I'm stuffed. ♪

Damn, ya boy got a good dose of nutrients and the poundin' in my head even went away! Thanks, man!

Madara: Don't thank me, it was your treat.

Well, I should get going. I was kind of in the middle of my walk, you see.

I'll be looking around for some interesting jobs.

...Ohh?

Rinne: The hell's up with that? Why'd our phones sound off at the same time?

Madara: Rinne-san, it's a Sparkling Message. Apparantly, we got a new job offer. [4]

Rinne: "A Match on the Sugoroku Board — A competition between agencies, with idols from CosPro and NewDi joinin' in," huh?

"Fight by usin' dice in an Open-world Sugoroku game..." I dunno what that means, but that's pretty much why we're fightin' agency by agency.

I was plannin' on hittin' it off with ya, but it ain't gonna be that easy, huh.

Y'know what they say, "Yesterday's enemy could still be an enemy today." ♪ [5]

Madara: Hahaha, what a perfect way for things to end between us.

Considering the final round of SS, it's like my enemy from two days ago is my enemy once again.

Either way, this is the job we were waiting for.

I can't even say I'm disappointed that my search led me to someplace surprising, so I'm going to reply positively.

Rinne: Aah, 'course I'm gonna join in on the fun too. Not like I've got a ton of work headin' my way.

Well, it's about time for me to head home. Next time I see ya, all I ask is for ya to go easy on me. ♪

Madara: Sure thing, I'm looking forward to it. Let's have a fair and square fight.

Rinne: Gyahaha! ♪ Of course you'd be the type-a guy to say that!

Well now, I'm lookin' forward to it in more ways than one. ♪

Notes:

Reference to the !! main story SS Finals. Rinne interrupted Ryuseitai (red) and Double Face's (white)'s decisive round to call out the SS' voting system for being rigged and pinning the blame on Nagisa specifically.

Mikeneko-chan (calico cat): A play on Madara's cat-themed family name, Mikejima.

異物 (foreign contaminant): Translated this as 'outsider' for brevity. I figured this was worth noting due to Crazy:B being being branded as a 'poison to the idol industry' & etc. before.

Sparkling Message: I have no idea what キラキラメール (kirakira mail) is called in the wider fandom. If any of you know what it is, please let me know!

Yesterday's enemy could still be an enemy today: A spoof on the saying 昨日の敵は今日の敵, "Yesterday's enemy could be a friend today."

[Event] A Match on the Sugoroku Board / Prologue

Natsume: S̴h̶u̸t̴ ̵u̵p̸,̴ ̴y̶o̶u̵ ̵w̴o̵r̵k̵a̵h̶o̶l̵i̷c̵.̸

Natsume: ...Sigh, the chaos at the end of last year and the start of this one has finally calmed down.

We started the SS qualifying rounds, unveiled a new stage prototype in SSVRS, did work at the Maizuru Manor — it feels like I'm bragging a little, though. [1]

With that, I can finally go back to a normal pace.

Now, I'll go hit Senpai, who was doing exploitative work even during that time. I hope he looks forward to his belated day-of—

Huh?

Tsumugi & Ibara: ... ♪

Natsume: (That venomous snake...?! Why is he here?!)

(Don't tell me he was planting some idea into Senpai's head while I wasn't around, was he—?)

Ibara-kun, what are you doing at NewDi?

Ibara: You're back, Natsume-kun. ♪

I'm very sorry for intruding! His Majesty and I were speaking as the representative and vice president of our respective agencies, so you don't have to be so concerned. ♪

Natsume: ...!

Ibara: Oho, you're glaring at me like a snake! I tend to forget recently that I'm known as a 'venomous snake', so I'm very grateful you're kind enough to make me remember that fact!

Natsume: That's not what I meant by that. Don't go at your own pace, will you?

I'm telling you to stop speaking in circles and say what you have to say.

Tsumugi: Natsume-kun, you don't have to be so serious about it, you know~. Another agency's representative came all this way to NewDi.

Now, smile, smile. ♪

Natsume: S̴h̶u̸t̴ ̵u̵p̸,̴ ̴y̶o̶u̵ ̵w̴o̵r̵k̵a̵h̶o̶l̵i̷c̵.̸

I̶f̵ ̴y̸o̵u̶ ̶d̷o̷n̸'̸t̶ ̸t̶a̵k̶e̴ ̸a̴ ̶b̸r̷e̷a̷k̴,̴ ̸I̵'̸l̷l̶ ̴t̴h̸r̴o̴w̴ ̷y̶o̷u̵ ̶i̸n̷t̴o̵ ̸a̵ ̴h̵o̵s̵p̶i̴t̴a̸l̶.̸

Tsumugi: Please don't?!

Ibara: He sounds pretty annoyed~. It seems you were quite busy!

Well, I won't be keeping things a secret for any longer either, so both of you please take a seat. I just thought it'd be fun to keep Natsume-kun in the dark on purpose!

Natsume: You're rotten to the core.

Ibara: Ahaha ☆, what a nice expression on your face!

That aside, do you know about NETV?

Natsume: Ne... What?

Ibara: NETV — a streaming service aimed towards an international audience that was launched recently.

Unlike major streaming sites that invest large sums of money and take up a big market share in the industry, the streaming services in this country produce programs on a reasonable budget.

Despite being niche, there's a demand for idol programs internationally — and that's what NETV is trying to produce.

So that's why I came here to discuss if I could select guest stars from NewDi who would help out.

Tsumugi: That's right! Saegusa-kun said we'd be working on "a reasonable budget", but when I saw what was planned, it was more all-encompassing that I thought.

I was wondering if a growing agency like NewDi would even have a chance.

Natsume: I don't buy it... I can't believe this venomous snake here is offering a job to us.

There has to be a catch. If there wasn't, CosPro would've chosen to monopolise such an appetising project for themselves.

Ibara: It's ridiculous that you'd think there's a 'catch'. Just like fortune telling, it's simply statistics and mechanisms.

I don't mean to tell you a lame joke like, "It'd be unfortunate to tell a lie to a fortune teller." There are things I won't be explaining, but I can disclose some of it with you. [2]

The truth is, CosPro was able to invest in NETV as well.

They're an old connection I have from when I was first starting out as a manager a long time ago. As a result, it'd be a total loss for us if this program doesn't succeed.

In other words, this project proposal is an idea I came up with after thinking there should be a few losses at most. If it's a program featuring a crossover between two agencies, then it'd be publicity for both of us.

So CosPro is excited for the program to succeed, while NewDi gets the opportunity to appear on it—

What do you think? It's not that bad of a proposal, is it now?

Natsume: ...

Tsumugi: I feel partial towards appearing on NETV, too.

I saw the materials, and it didn't leave a bad impression on me, so I felt like a respectable production company is involved.

The only problem is that NETV does online programs, so there aren't that many idols from major agencies appearing on the program, right?

...Wait, NewDi isn't even a major agency, though.

Currently, this is a once in a lifetime chance for us. With online programs being a still-developing industry, not many of the long-standing agencies would risk entering it.

Natsume: ...Hmph. The questionable parts are undeniable, but it does make sense.

But when that venomous snake does something suspicious, I won't stay quiet about it.

Ibara: Well now, don't be like that! Let's both look forward to working hard together as coworkers!

I'll come here again to explain more about the project on a later date, then! Until then, have a good day!

Notes:

Maizuru Manor: Reference to the !! event story Poltergeist. It's the orphanage Natsume, Tsumugi, Madara, and Arashi all worked at temporarily.

『占い師』だけに裏はない: Ibara makes a (lame) pun here (uranai-shi dake ni ura wa nai). Literally means, "There's no catch because you're a fortune-teller." I tried my best to replicate the lameness as best I could orz

[Sub Story] Yuzuru Fushimi / Dog Days

📅 26 May 2017

⏰ Summer

🔖 Akira / 1 Chapter

🎭 Yuzuru, Anzu, Koga, Subaru

Yuzuru: I'm sorry for troubling you, Anzu-san.

I'm very grateful you're here to simply accompany me even though it's the middle of our summer break.

Besides, it's supposed to be my duty to take King out for a walk.

Yes, this dog — a noble Golden Retriever — is the Young Master's pet...

His name is King.

Do you like dogs? I'm not very good with them for some reason...

I must overcome this. I want to be a flawless servant with no weaknesses to exploit...

But I can't forget my childhood trauma so half-heartedly.

Mentally, I understand that King no longer poses any threat to me as he has mellowed out over the years.

But no matter what I do, I end up losing to the fact I have such a weakness. Just like the Young Master, King would pick on me quite a lot, after all.

He's done many clever, underhanded things that make me want to doubt if dogs really are on the cute side — like biting me, barking at me, knocking me down to the ground...

Aah, just thinking about it gives me the chills.

I'm certain he thinks I'm of a lower rank than him. He has quite a big ego — did he take after his owner?

But I'm relieved he seems to like you, Anzu-san.

I had to take King for a walk at the park as per the Young Master's orders...

But doing that by myself seemed difficult, no matter how hard I tried.

That's why I relied on you for help, Anzu-san. I have no excuse for having a busy producer like you accompany me for a private matter like this.

I feel nothing but shame towards my own immaturity.

I'd feel relieved if you could tell me you're finding this fun, or that you like dogs, though... ♪

Koga: Oi, Fushimi, get your ass over here! You're late — the hell have you been lazin' around at?

Fushimi: Oh? It's Oogami-sama. I didn't expect to see you here at the park as well...?

Koga: Aahn? Are ya listenin' to a damn word I'm sayin'?

Subaru: Gami-san, Gami-san! Look, the park's full of dogs! Their fur's all fluffy and stuffy-looking~, and it feels like all the barking's gonna make my ears hurt! Ahahaha! ☆

Koga: And you're runnin' 'round with the dogs. You're bein' real annoyin', stay still! Be a good boy like me and Leon here.

Subaru: Oh, it's Gami-san's dog! It's been a while~, but you haven't changed one bit since I last saw you, Pretty Lady-san. ☆

Koga: It's 'Leon' — call him by his name. And Daikichi's still as handsome as ever.

Subaru: No, no, he put on some weight over the summer, see~? He's starting to look like a ball of mochi, so he needs lots of exercise!

Dash dash~, just like that guy in Ra*bits. ♪

Yuzuru: What's going on...? Ohh, no matter where I look, all I see are dogs, dogs, dogs!

Subaru: You don't look so good — what's up? Did you get heatstroke? Okayyy, I'll go buy you a sports drink! So give me some spare change. ♪

Yuzuru: You must be... Akehoshi-sama from Trickstar?

Subaru: Yup, and you're Fusshi~ from fine, right? I guess this is our first real conversation together, ahaha! ♪

Yuzuru: Fusshi~...?

Subaru: But this is new~. Why's fine taking up this kinda surface-level job?

Yuzuru: What job...?

Subaru: Oh, I feel like you don't actually know anything and were just out walking your dog? But you're in your unit outfit, so... Umm~?

Yuzuru: Sigh, that's because those were the Young Master's orders...

Subaru: Well, we're doing a photoshoot at the park today about idols and their pet dogs.

It's for some kinda special magazine issue, see, so that's why there's a lotta guys with dogs here~.

We're gonna throw up peace signs and smile next to our dogs, all while in our idol outfits. ☆ It's so simple, anyone could do it!

'Cause kids and animals are always a hit~. That's showbiz for you! Probably! ♪

Of course, 'cause we're working with dogs, we're doing the shoot outside and not in a studio like usual.

Sigh~, I was playing around with a really fluffy dog while wearing this, so now I feel hot. ☆

Yuzuru: I see... That must be why the Young Master ordered me to take King out for a walk at the park.

So he was actually picking on me... I'll have to give him a good scolding for this later.

Did you know about this, Anzu-san?

Hm... You're the one who suggested it to him because, as a producer, you're handling various jobs.

I commend you for that. Thank you for your hard work as always. ♪

Aah, you don't need to apologise. If it's one of your projects, I'd want to give it my full effort because you're always helping us.

But I'm worried. Would King even listen to me...?

He'd need to behave and stay still in front of the camera for the photoshoot.

But if he needs to behave, then the Young Master should've been here to do this himself... King isn't my pet dog, after all.

Actually — would I even be allowed to join the photoshoot?

Subaru: It's fine, you know? I even got photos taken of me with other people's dogs, ahaha! ☆

Fusshi~, why d'you give off the vibe that you're bad with dogs? Well, what if you try taking a photo with a smaller dog first, so you could get used to it?

One you can carry in your arms~. My Daikichi's perfect for the job. ♪

In the meantime, I'll be playing with your dog! C'mere, boy! ☆

When I'm done playing around with him, he'll be so tired that he'll behave when it's time for you guys to take pictures together. ♪

Koga: Hah! If you ask me, Fushimi's always got this prim and proper face on...

But I also wanna see him get all teary-eyed, gettin' his picture taken while a dog's bitin' him on the ass, like somethin' straight outta a gag manga. ♪

Yuzuru: Uu, how mean-spirited of you, Oogami-sama... I'm trying to go along with this so that I can get along with King better.

The Himemiya family owns him, after all.

I've decided that it's also my duty to make him shine as bright as possible.

N-now, King... Please come here. ♪

Hie?! This dog — he tried to bite me! Won't he listen to me at all?

Koga: Be more confident, dumbass. Dogs can tell you're scared of 'em. You ain't gonna get him to listen to you if you're wary 'round him or lookin' down on him.

Get closer to him as an equal.

Yuzuru: E-even when you say that...

Subaru: Hey, hey! Why don't you try carrying Daikichi first?

He likes guys who wear sparkly outfits, see~. Isn't fine's outfit sparkly? Okay, here he is~. ☆

Yuzuru: Oof, he's quite heavy... S-should I talk to him? Err, isn't it nice out today~?

Subaru: You're way too tense~. Just relax, relax. ♪

Yuzuru: Uu, for some reason, this is making me remember my first job as an idol. My whole body shook just from standing onstage back then.

Aah, the Young Master wants to remind me I shouldn't forget where I came from... ♪

Well, no. It's possible he just shoved this simply troublesome job onto me, though!

Subaru: Ahaha, well, there's all kinds of idol work, so everything's a new experience. Or is me saying that to someone in fine coming off as rude?

Yuzuru: Not at all. I am nothing but ashamed of my own lack of experience. That's right, a butler... no, an idol will perfectly see things through to the end.

I must overcome my hatred for dogs.

To do that... I'm probably making more work for all of you, but would you kindly help me with this?

Subaru: Of course~, we're all from Yumenosaki, aren't we! We're working solo today, so let's forget about the bonds we've made in our units!

We won't hold back, so leave it to us. ☆

Koga: I welcome you to becomin' more of a dog lover too. Tch, you really don't make friends with 'em, huh? Come on, Leon, aren'tcha gonna go greet your new friend?

Yuzuru: Fufu, isn't this somewhat of a strange sight…? ♪

No. Anzu-san works jobs like these everyday. She has a great variety of unruly idols on a leash. [1]

I admire you. As an obedient... no, as a helpful and loyal dog, I also want to get along with you better at least.

That's why, erm, Anzu-san... Please help me. I'm carrying Daikichi-san in my arms, but he's climbling up my face.

Subaru: Ahaha, this is getting silly~. ♪ Hey Daikichi, Fusshi~ won't be able to breathe if you do that, so let go of him, okay~?

Koga: Hmph. Even though it's summer break, those guys are bein' loud as hell like usual... Ain't that right, Leon? ♪

Notes:

More accurately, Yuzuru says Anzu 'holds the reins of a great variety of unruly idols', but like. This is the dog story. Let me have this. (Feel free to use either line interchangeably, though.)

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 6 (END)

Nagisa: ...? Um, Merry Christmas...?

Hiyori: "—Did everyone get their Christmas presents? Raise your hand if you did!"

Yuzuru: "I'll check. One, two, three..."

"...It's the same as the number of presents we prepared. There's no need to worry."

Adonis Otogari: "The Christmas party is almost over, but please keep on being good kids even after this. Can all of you guys promise us that?"

"...Heh, that's good."

Leo: "One last thing! We'll see you guys off with a classic Christmas song! Everybody please sing along. ☆"

Leo & Hiyori: "♪~♪~♪"

Yuzuru & Adonis: "♪~♪~♪"

Hiyori: Knock knock! Excuse us!

Merry Christmas! We're here to see you!

Boy: Ah, the idol onii-chans!

Yuzuru: Merry Christmas. Were you able to enjoy the Christmas party even if it was through your room's TV?

Boy: Yeah! It was fun hearing all those songs!

But why wasn't Glasses onii-chan there?

Tsumugi: Fufu, I was there, just not on stage~.

I was working in the shadows — I did a lot of supporting work behind the scenes so that it would be a fun event.

Adonis: The Christmas party was a success because of him.

Thank you, Aoba-senpai.

Tsumugi: Don't thank just me, you know~. It was thanks to everyone who had volunteered—

And, more than anything, the children who were looking forward to the party. They're the stars of the show, after all. ...Hiyori-kun?

Hiyori: Alright, it's about time we got to the point.

Merry Christmas! White Bear's back home, so give him a big hug!

Boy: Wahh, welcome home, White Bear!

Leo: Also, here's your Christmas present from all of us. ☆

It's a digital photo frame full of pictures of White Bear, and—

Adonis: A diary we all made. We wrote about the days we spent with White Bear in detail inside of it.

We'd be happy if the memories we made with him comes across even a little bit.

Yuzuru: And finally, we left the back pages of the diary blank on purpose.

When you're feeling better, go outside and take White Bear to all kinds of places, then write down the memories you made together in those pages. ♪

Hiyori: It's going to stay cold for a while, but spring will definitely come.

So spend a fun wintertime with White Bear, okay...? ♪

Boy: I will! Thank you, idol onii-chans.

This year's Christmas and all the nice onii-chans—

Me and White Bear will never, ever forget about it!

Nagisa: ...It seems Ibara and Jun aren't here yet.

Hiyori: You're right. How cheeky of them to keep us waiting!

Hmm, my phone went off? I hope that's not them telling us they'll be running late—

...

... ♪

Nagisa: ...What is it, Hiyori-kun?

Hiyori: Merry Christmas, Nagisa-kun.

Nagisa: ...? Um, Merry Christmas...?

...Hasn't Christmas passed already? Am I wrong about that?

Hiyori: No, you're right. Christmas is long over.

But there's no rule saying you can only say 'Merry Christmas' on Christmas itself, is there?

...Remember when I volunteered for that Christmas party at a hospital last year?

We got to know a bedridden boy at that time, and he let us look after his white teddy bear.

The boy couldn't leave his hospital room, so we took a lot of pictures of his teddy bear in his place. That way, we could grant his wish to 'go outside for Christmas'.

Nagisa: ...Yes, of course I remember. You also took a picture with me while his teddy bear was in your care.

Hiyori: Right, I did do that. ♪

Tsumugi-kun sent me photos from the hospital just now. ...Look, Nagisa-kun.

Because he's motivated to go outside with White Bear, he's working hard on his rehabilitation.

Here's one of them outside his room, one of them in a car seat, and one of White Bear on his lap.

They both look super happy. ♪

Nagisa: ...That's why you said, "Merry Christmas".

Hiyori: Exactly! It really warmed my heart. I feel like I got a Christmas present. ♪

That boy is getting better and better from now on. I hope he gets better to the point he can freely go to all kinds of places with White Bear.

When he does, I'm pretty sure he'll smile even more and that everyday will be fun! I'd be happy if we could be the reason he takes that first step forward. ♪

Nagisa: ...I'm quite certain you are his reason. Hiyori-kun is the Sun telling him that spring has come—

...and just by being near you, he will feel warm even in the cold winter. Because that's the kind of person you are.

...Merry Christmas, Hiyori-kun.

Hiyori: Yes, Merry Christmas... ♪

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 5

Hiyori: These photos of White Bear watching people practice in the Dance Room... Did Yuzuru-kun take these? It's funny seeing Ibara trying to keep up a smile. ♪

Hiyori: —Tsumugi-kun, did we get everything? Are we good? We didn't forget to buy anything, did we?

Tsumugi: Let me check the list just to be sure. Umm—

...Yes, we bought all the toys earlier.

Adonis: I see. All that's left is just making memories with White Bear. We took all kinds of photos since we started up until today, but...

...

Hiyori: What's wrong, Adonis-kun?

If there's something on your mind, you should feel free to tell us.

Adonis: ...Of course. It's nothing important—

But while things are going as expected with our goal to have fun this winter in place of that boy, I feel like we haven't taken any photos that have a Christmas-like feeling to them.

Leo: A Christmas-like feeling? When it comes to songs, we could make up as many as we want on the spot.

But we can't do that for pictures, so hmm~.

Hiyori: ...

...Okay, I know just the place.

Over here, follow me!

Hiyori: Here we are! We can take Christmas photos here!

Tsumugi: Looks like they put in a lot of effort into the Christmas lights~.

Are you familiar with this place, Hiyori-kun?

Hiyori: Of course, I've gone here with Jun-kun before, after all.

I don't need to put up a Christmas tree at home when the ones here are all so pretty.

Do you like it, White Bear?

Leo: He can see the lights twinkling 'cause it's bouncing off his button-eyes~. He seems really happy. ♪

Ooh, from this angle, you could take a photo of White Bear admiring the trees.

Say cheese... ☆

Adonis: Yeah, it looks like we were able to take all kinds of good pictures.

Leo: Yeah! Speaking of pictures, back then, I saw Aira taking pictures photos of idol merch around downtown. [1]

At the time, I didn't get what was so fun about it, but now I think I understand how he feels just a little... ♪

Yuzuru: —Aoba-sama, here's your tea.

Tsumugi: Waah, thank you, Fushimi-kun.

Yuzuru: You're welcome. I'm sorry I wasn't able to join you all in preparing for the Christmas party.

Tsumugi: Don't worry about it. When the project was left in our hands, the only thing that had been finalised was that we'd be singing and giving presents to children.

But everyone's busy around this time of year, so it's no one's fault.

More importantly, Fushimi-kun, I'm worried you'll be tiring yourself out with the Shuffle Unit project so soon after. Are you going to be okay?

Yuzuru: Fufu, I'm very grateful for your consideration. I'll be okay.

I can even sing the Christmas song Tsukinaga-sama wrote from memory already. ♪ ...Oh?

It's Hiyori-sama. Good evening.

Hiyori: Good evening, Yuzuru-kun.

Tsumugi-kun, thanks for waiting! I brought White Bear with me!

I sent the photos I took over HoldHands! Will you check if they went through already?

Tsumugi: Please wait a bit~. ...Yes, I got them.

Hiyori: That's good. There's a lot of pics that I like, so I need to ask that boy if I can post them on my social media too!

Like this shot of me and Blood Mary wearing her Santa-san costume with White Bear! The whole world will fall in love with it. ♪

We took a lot of pics together with White Bear, but how are we gonna give it as a present to that boy?

Tsumugi: I was thinking we'd give it to him in a digital photo frame. That way, we can give him a lot of photos withough taking up too much space. [2]

I already put in all the photos other than the ones you sent me just now.

Please feel free to pick out the ones you like.

Hiyori: Okay, let me do just that.

These photos of White Bear watching people practice in the Dance Room... Did Yuzuru-kun take these? It's funny seeing Ibara trying to keep up a smile. ♪

And I just know these ones of White Bear drinking tea in the garden is by Leo-kun! Tsukasa-kun and the rest of Knights are in the photos with him, after all.

And the ones in the Training Room are by Adonis-kun. It's cute seeing White Bear sitting on top of a sports towel.

We built a snowman, had a snowball fight, and made memories with White Bear as a Christmas present together.

We made memories in every photo—

...Ah.

Yuzuru: Is something wrong, Hiyori-sama?

Hiyori: ...We made those memories with White Bear, that's why looking at these photos feels nostalgic.

But I think it's a bit sad that they're nothing but photos of White Bear to that boy. If only we could share those memories we have together with him too...

Tsumugi: Memories, huh?

...

...Then, what if we give him a diary along with the digital photo frame?

Hiyori: A diary?

Tsumugi: Yes, a diary where we write about the memories we made this winter with White Bear.

We'll put pictures and decorate it with stickers and washi tape to make it the only one of its kind in the world.

If we do that, we can share our memories with him.

Hiyori: Waah, I like your idea, Tsumugi-kun!

Let's do that! Let's give him our memories together as a present too! That's fine weather... ☆

Notes:

I have no idea if this is referencing an actual story or not.

Digital photo frame: It's like an actual photo frame, but with an LCD screen you load the photos on as a slideshow.

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 4

Jun: Aoba-senpai, I'm sorry he's like this.

Mitsuru: I dashed on over here when I was called! Ten-te-de-den, Mitsuru Tenma has arrived! [1]

I came to help out Hiyori-senpai! You can relax now that I'm here!

Hiyori: You're the one Leo-kun asked for help from, right?

Mitsuru: Yep! Me and Leo-chan-senpai get along 'cause we played in the snow together last year. [2]

Hiyori: Is that so? Speaking of Leo-kun, where is he?

Mitsuru: He said he was "pulling out of the game 'cause inspiration has come to me, so go do your best in my place!" ☆

Hiyori: He backed out? Even if we have one more player, it doesn't matter if we're down another! A net zero gain!

Mitsuru: Nuh-uh! 'Cause I'm gonna do my best in Leo-chan-senpai's place, that means I have double the power!

Tsumugi: Now that Mitsuru-kun's here, there's a lot more snowballs getting thrown back and forth nonstop~.

Otogari-kun has White Bear-kun tucked under one of his arms, and it looks like he's having fun.

...Oh? Someone's running over here.

Jun: Haa, haa... Ohii-san, are you still alive~?

Hiyori: Jun-kun, you're late! How classy of you to keep me waiting!

Jun: Ehh, I'm sorry~. But I ran here as fast as I cou—

Woah! ...Phew, that almost got me.

Adonis: Just as I thought — you have good reflexes, Sazanami.

Are you and Tenma joining us? Seems like this is turning into even more of an exciting fight.

Jun: If we're going up against you, then it should be fine even if we go all out, right~?

I'm a bit bummed 'cause I got called over just as I started working out.

But I feel like this'll be some good exercise in its own way. ♪

Mitsuru: We won't lose! Ado-chan-senpai, bring it on!

Hiyori: You two, make sure you protect me!

Jun: Nah, nah. You're gonna fight with us at the very least.

Tsumugi: Fufu, the shoot's going smoothly thanks to all these photo ops.

I'll find a safe spot so that I don't get hit by a snowball. Let's see...

Gyaah?!

Mitsuru: Wah?! This is serious — Aoba-chan-senpai got buried under all the snow that fell off of a tree!

Everyone, stop, stop! Time out! Ado-chan-senpai, Jun-chan-senpai, go help him!

Adonis: Got it. Tomoe-senpai, I'm leaving White Bear with you.

Hiyori: Of course, I'll look after him for you.

Mitsuru: Hrrmph, hrrmph...

Hiyori: I can see Tsumugi-kun's clothes! Keep going, everyone! ♪

Jun: We'll pull him out all at once, alright? On three... One, two, three~!

Tsumugi: Pueh. T-thank you for saving me...

I can see nothing but pure white all around, huh? This kind of feels familiar... [3]

Hiyori: Familiar? What do you mean by that? Your glasses are covered in snow, that's why you can't see anything.

...Ah, wait, wait! Don't brush the snow off just yet!

Jun: Ohii-san, why'd you pull your phone out?

Hiyori: I figured I'd snap a pic in Tsumugi-kun's place. Aren't I such a nice person? ♪

Me and White Bear won't be in the shot if we take the pic like this, so I'll switch to selfie mode...

Ahaha, we successfully saved Tsumugi-kun! Tsumugi-kun, say 'peace, peace'. ☆

Tsumugi: P-peace... ☆

Jun: Can you believe this guy's taking a picture?

Aoba-senpai, I'm sorry he's like this.

Tsumugi: It's fine. He took a good picture, after all~. Well, I'll be cleaning off my glasses now.

Last year, I was shoveling snow as a part-time job at school, but I hit a tree with my head, and all the snow on it fell down on me—

Adonis: Aoba-senpai, before you continue, can we move somewhere else?

Tsumugi: You're right, it'd be awful if more snow falls down on me. ...Hup!

For me to get buried in snow that fell down from a tree twice — isn't that fate?

Mitsuru: Even though you weren't in the snowball fight, you're the one covered in the most snow. I'm worried you're gonna catch a cold!

Tsumugi: Right. We took a good amount of pictures too, so—

Enough snowball fights for now. Let's head back inside, shall we?

Tsumugi: I've brought the black tea and sweets~.

Mitsuru: Woah~! Those look delicious!

Jun: Can me and Tenma join you guys?

Tsumugi: Of course, since we were able to take a lot of nice photos thanks to you two.

Hiyori: Exactly! So come eat and drink with us!

Adonis: ...Is this small plate of sweets meant to be for White Bear?

Tsumugi: Yes, that's right. I thought if I gave him a piece on a small plate, we could take a photo of him looking like he's enjoying himself during teatime.

Hiyori: Ah, if so—

Jun-kun, Jun-kun, bring me that small teacup from my room!

Jun: Mmh, which one?

Hiyori: The one I use for drinking espresso. It's one of the smaller ones, so I'm sure it'll be the perfect size for White Bear. ☆

Now, go get it! The tea will grow cold if you don't hurry up!

Jun: Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Leo: Oi~, I'm back!

Is the snowball fight over already?

Hiyori: Leo-kun, I'm don't like the fact you were so focused on composing that you left me behind!

Leo: Sorry, sorry! Forgive me, 'cause I wrote a great song. ☆

It's on this tablet, give me a sec... Now, I'm gonna play it.

♪~♪~♪

Adonis: ...It's got a happy sound to it. It's like I can imagine the children having fun during Christmas.

Leo: Ahaha, thanks! Don'tcha think Christmas Eve feels like a magical time to lil kids? Waiting excitedly to get all sorts of presents, staying awake to try and meet Santa-san - I tried to put those exciting moments into a song.

I get the feeling I have a masterpiece in my hands, no doubt about it... ♪ Everybody's gonna break out into a smile when they hear it! Wahahaha! ☆

Notes:

I think this is the tune Mitsuru's singing.

Reference to the ! event story Snowball Fight.

Reference to the ! scout story Snowboard.

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 3

Subaru: But Christmas is special in the eyes of a kid. White Bear, make lots of memories with me too, 'kay? ♪

Subaru: White Bear-san?

Yuzuru: Correct. I'm one of the volunteers who will be hosting a Christmas party at a hospital, but there's a boy there who can't leave his room.

We decided to take his closest friend White Bear-san outside the hospital to make Christmas memories in his place.

As it would be difficult for me to do that when I'm currently busy with our Shuffle Unit—

It was settled that I'd be taking care of White Bear-san by myself today.

It's a little unreasonable of me, but I thought it'd be nice if he could have a Christmas memory of Flambé! practicing as well...

Subaru: I see, I see. Flambé! is turning into a Christmas-themed unit, so it's gotta be the best present there is. ☆

Friends, huh~. So White Bear is kinda like what Daikichi is to me.

Yuzuru: Daikichi-san?

Subaru: Yeah. I remember that day~. I love Christmas even now—

But Christmas is special in the eyes of a kid. White Bear, make lots of memories with me too, 'kay? ♪

Either way... It's gotta be hard on him knowing he can't leave his room, 'cause he probably doesn't get to play around much either.

...Ah, right!

White Bear, did Fusshi~ tell you that there's someone who looks just like you in Flambé!?

Fushimi: Someone like White Bear-san? Who would that be...? Mashiro-sama?

Subaru: Tomoya-kun...? Ah, 'cause his last name means 'pure white'?

There's one that looks more like him, you know. Ta~dah, another white teddy bear!

We'll be using — no, performing with these guys for the Christmas Live.

My partner's the one with blue eyes! So let's be friends, White Bear... ☆

Tsumugi: Okay, we just finished building a snowman. Next, we'll be splitting up into two teams for the snowball fight—

But Otogari-kun, are you really okay fighting alone? I feel like two against one is pretty unfair...

Adonis: Ah, don't worry about me. I want you to focus on taking pictures of the fight.

Besides, I won't be alone, since White Bear will be fighting by my side.

Hiyori: Mhmm! Let's fight fair and square so that we get some good pictures!

Leo: Fair and square, huh~. But if you're holding onto White Bear, that would leave you with just one free hand.

Won't that make this a one-sided game 'cause it's two versus one?

Adonis: It's fine. I'm strong, so I won't lose that easily.

If the odds are looking slim, we can always call someone over to help out.

Hiyori: Wow, you're really confident you'll win! Looks like it'll be a fair fight after all!

Tsumugi-kun, we'll start on your signal, okay? ♪

Tsumugi: Got it. Everyone, are you ready?

And... start!

Adonis: White Bear, don't worry. I'll make sure to protect you from Tomoe-senpai and Tsukinaga-senpai.

We'll win with our combined power.

Okay, here we go— hup!

Leo: Woah, that scared me! That snowball flew at me like a baseball at a batting cage! Hiyo, let's get behind that tree!

Hiyori: Is 'Hiyo' supposed to be me? I've never been called that before, so it's unique!

...Oof, that was close.

I shouldn't have gotten excited when I wasn't behind cover. Now I've turned into a snowman myself.

Leo: Then don't poke your head out without thinking?

Hiyori: Yes, I know that. I'm not stupid.

But we can't hide the entire time, or else we won't win.

We'll go after Adonis-kun while he's making a snowball!

Now! Quick, Leo-kun! Throw some snowballs at him!

Adonis: —I see you!

Leo: Wahaha, that was super cool! You dodged all of 'em like an acrobat. ☆

I knew you had good reflexes, Adonis~. ♪

Hiyori: This isn't the time to be praising him. He's slowly closing the distance between us.

If this continues, we'll lose! We need to work out a plan!

Leo: A plan, huh~. Even if we attacked him from both sides, timing our attack is gonna be hard 'cause of the distance...

Hiyo, call someone to help buy us some time!

Hiyori: Hey, I don't want to ask someone that! What awful weather!

...I shouldn't just run away from this. I don't want to show such an uncool side of me to that boy and White Bear, after all.

So it's come to this—...

Jun: ...Hey, Ohii-san. What is it?

Hiyori: Jun-kun, Jun-kun, where are you right now?

Come back to Seisoukan, quickly! It's your job to save me whenever I'm in a pinch!

Jun: A pinch, huh. What's up?

Hiyori: There's no time to explain! If I get distracted, Adonis-kun will kill me!

Jun: Otogari-san...? Ohii-san, did you actually manage to piss off someone as gentle as him?

Hiyori: Don't jump to conclusions, we're just having a snowball fight!

Jun: A snowball fight? Ah, you did mention that you guys were gonna play around in the snow, right~?

Either way, I can't get there right away, y'know~. Looks like if I leave now, it's gonna be like a ten minute trip from where I'm at.

Hiyori: I'll give you five minutes, so come here running as fast as you can! It'll be Jun-kun's fault if I get covered head to toe in snow!

Jun: Wai- Ohii-san—

Hiyori: He'll try to get here in less than five minutes...

Leo-kun isn't back yet? Isn't there a lot of weight resting on my two shoulders alone?

???: ...Oi~!

Hiyori: Hm? That voice...

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 2

Tsumugi: Hiyori-kun, you've been quiet for a while now. What's wrong?

Leo: Oi~, what are you guys talking about? Let us in on it too. ☆

Yuzuru: We've finished talking to all of the children. Here's the list of presents they want.

Tsumugi: Thank you for taking care of that for me.

Truth is, apparently there's a bedridden boy in this hospital, and he wants permission to go outside as his Christmas present.

Adonis: Permission to go outside...? Is he allowed to do that, Staff-san?

Tsumugi: ...Hmm, I see. his health is so frail that the winter season means he can't even leave his room.

Leo: Not even his room? So that means he won't get to join the Christmas party?

Yuzuru: ...I see. The white teddy bear will be the one to join the Christmas party in place of him.

Leo: Hm~? But this lil guy doesn't look like he's got a camera or anything. Is he really gonna take that kid's place?

Tsumugi: I think so. It looks like the boy himself is using it as his stand-in.

Here's the letter that came with the backpack the teddy bear was in.

We could broadcast the Christmas party to him if there's a TV in his room, but... Hm?

Hiyori: ...

Tsumugi: Hiyori-kun, you've been quiet for a while now. What's wrong?

Hiyori: ...I'm thinking of how we could grant his wish.

What if he we take him outside via car? He'll be warm inside the car, so it'd be easier on his body.

Leo: Ooh, great idea! I'll be taking the wheel then. ☆

Hiyori: You will? That's a little scary, I feel like you'll get into a car accident!

Leo: You're so rude~. I haven't been in one yet, though!

Hiyori: Even if you say that, I'm worried you will. I'll get a car and driver prepared!

Tsumugi: P-please wait.

It would be difficult for him to go outside even if he's in a car. We're not his family or his doctor, so what if something happens to him?

Hiyori: But Tsumugi-kun... I want to make everyone's wishes come true.

He'd feel left out if his wish was the only one we couldn't fulfill.

Adonis: Tomoe-senpai...

Leo: ...Staff-san, are visitors allowed in his room? Can we go see him and stuff?

I get that the teddy bear is supposed to be his stand-in, but if it's okay for us to go see him, we wanna talk with him face to face.

'Cause that's what we came here for. ♪

Leo: Hi there~, are you this lil guy's owne— no, friend?

Boy: Huh? The idol onii-chans? Why are you guys here?

Leo: We're here to bring him home. See? "I'm home~☆". (Leo waves one of its paws.)

Boy: Wah, thank you.

Ehehe... Welcome home, White Bear.

Adonis: White Bear...? Is that its name?

Boy: Yeah, 'cause that's what was on his ear tag...

I got White Bear for my birthday, so he's my best friend.

Leo: Wahaha! I love names that are easy to understand. ☆

Boy: Ah... The letter in my bag is gone.

Idol onii-chan, did you guys... read my letter?

Hiyori: Yes, we read it. You wrote, "I want to go outside for Christmas", right?

Boy: Yeah. The nurse said I could write anything I want, so...

But... you can forget about it, 'cause I don't have any hope it'll happen.

Hiyori: Eh, what do you mean?

Boy: 'Cause it's impossible — going outside even though I can't even leave my room...

Yuzuru: (whispering) ...Um, Aoba-sama.

Judging from the medical equipment by his bed, it appears it'll be difficult to take him outside like you said.

Tsumugi: (whispering) Yes, you're right...

...

...Ah, okay.

Will you listen to what we have to say? We had an idea—

May we look after White Bear for a while?

Leo: Hmm? What are we gonna do?

Tsumugi: I actually saw it in a magazine or something, it's a business that offers to take people's plushies travelling for them.

It seems they would take pictures of the plushie and then send them to its owner.

What if we also take White Bear to different places so that it'd make fun Christmas memories for him?

Adonis: That's not a bad idea, but won't he feel hesitant letting complete strangers look after something important to him?

It would be a problem if we lost it somewhere, on the off chance it happens.

Boy: Um, it's okay if you do.

Dad told me there's a button on White Bear's butt that lets him know where he is.

Hiyori: An Airtag? That's good then. [1]

Boy: Yeah... To be honest, I wanna go too, but I know I can't do that, so—

Idol onii-chans, will you take White Bear outside for me?

Let him see what Christmas is like outside the hospital for me.

Hiyori: Of course. We'll go to all kinds of places for you.

I'll make sure White Bear will have a fun Christmas... ♪

Yuzuru: Good morning... Oh, it seems like the members of Flambé! aren't here yet.

I'll have White Bear-san sit on this chair.

Secure him in his seat so that he doesn't fall off... There. [2]

Subaru: Fusshi~, yahoo yahoo. ☆ What's with the bear?

Yuzuru: Allow me to introduce him. This is White Bear-san. ♪

Notes:

紛失防止タグ (lit. lost item prevention tag): refers to all GPS-tracking/smart tags. I used Airtag here since the kid called it a button, and it's what most people are familiar with.

You can see the picture Yuzuru took of White Bear in Tsumugi's 3* unbloomed.

[Scout] White Bear / Pure White Diary 1

Leo: Merry Christmas! Are there any naughty kids here~? Santa-san will gobble all of you up~. ☆

Hiyori: Yahoo, thank you for waiting! Is everyone here?

Adonis: No, we're still waiting for Tsukinaga-senpai.

Tsumugi: Hiyori-kun, please take this hand warmer.

Hiyori: Thanks. It feels like it's getting colder today, so I appreciate it. While you're at it, I want a hot drink!

Tsumugi: Ah, I'm sorry. I figured we'd leave as soon as we're done with our meeting, so I hadn't prepared any.

Yuzuru: I'll prepare the tea. Please wait a moment.

Aoba-sama, shall I make enough for five people?

Tsumugi: Yes, please. Thank you, Fushimi-kun.

Leo: Merry Christmas! Are there any naughty kids here~? Santa-san will gobble all of you up~. ☆ [1]

Adonis: Tsukinaga-senpai, Santa Claus won't do that.

Hiyori: Exactly! It's not good to ruin other people's dreams. Also, it's too early to be saying Christmas greetings!

Tsumugi: Fufu, and isn't Santa-san still getting all the presents ready?

Anyways, Fushimi-kun returned with the tea, so let's start the meeting now.

Once again, thank you all for volunteering to represent your agencies at ES.

This time, we're in charge of a consolation visit at a hospital. We'll be holding a Christmas party there, where we'll sing songs and give presents to the children.

I'll be acting as the contact person between us and the hospital staff. Please feel free to tell me at any time if you encounter any trouble, okay?

We'll be going to the hospital soon to greet the children and ask what kind of presents they want for Christmas. Do you guys have any questions?

Adonis: You said we'll be singing a song to them. Is there a specific one we'll be singing?

Tsumugi: I was thinking we'd go with classic Christmas songs.

Leo: Ehh~, I'll write a Christmas song then, since we're putting in all this effort anyways.

Hiyori: Yes, yes. Since I'm a part of this, going with the 'classics' would be boring.

If we're going this far, I'd want to bring it all to a climax with an original song! Because we're idols, who exist to grant everyone's dreams!

Adonis: Hm... This is difficult. Tsukinaga-senpai's suggestion is appealing, but if we go with the classics, then the kids can sing along with us.

...Alright, what if we sing both?

The kids would get to sing together too, so we'd have a reason to join them as idols.

Leo: I like the sound of it, let's go with that!

Tsumugi: Ahaha, it's turning out to be a fun Christmas party~.

But I'm a little worried about Fushimi-kun. The timing of this happens to be at the same time as his Shuffle Unit project, so I'm wondering if it'll be a burden on him...

Fushimi: There's no need to worry. As I am also an idol, I shall try to match everyone's pace.

Tsumugi: I understand. Then I'll tell the hospital staff we'll be singing a classic Christmas song and an original song. Do you guys have any other questions?

...Seems like that's a no. Well then, shall we head to the hospital?

Leo: —Mmhm mmhm, you want a toy kitchen set?

Okay~, noted! Don't worry, we'll tell Santa-san about it. ☆

Adonis: ...A makeup set? Hm, so there are makeup kits for kids.

Got it, we'll get one ready for you. I hope you're looking forward to the Christmas party.

Tsumugi: Hello~, would you like to tell me what you want for Christmas?

...A hero figure? Heh~, is that kind of thing popular with kids nowadays?

Okay, we'll have Santa-san grant your wish.

Next—...

Yuzuru: Aoba-sama, it seems one of the staff is here.

Allow me to take over for that girl you're talking to.

Tsumugi: Thank you. I'll take you up on your offer, then...

Staff-san, did you come to see how things were going?

Yes, it does help that all the kids are being cooperative. I think we're almost done asking everyone...

Hiyori: Tsumugi-kun, do you have a minute?

There's a backpack with a white teddy bear inside it on that chair there. I'm sure someone lost it.

...Hm? What is it, Staff-san? ...The teddy bear isn't lost?

Tsumugi: It's one of the patients... What do you mean by that?

...I see, so a bedridden boy at this hospital looks after the teddy bear.

And Staff-san brought it here to act as a stand-in for him, since he can't leave his hospital room.

Hiyori: There's a letter inside the backpack?

It says, "To: Santa" on the front. And the present he wants is...

...

Tsumugi: Hiyori-kun, what does it say?

Hiyori: ...There's only one sentence.

It says, "I want to go outside for Christmas"...

Notes:

Are there any naughty kids here?: Leo's referring to a Japanese New Year's ritual involving Namahage here. The oni visit homes to scold children for acting naughty.

[Management] Tsumugi Aoba / Chapter 3

Tsumugi: Ugh, how clumsy of me to trip over nothing...

Tsumugi: Wah- Hya-... Awawa-?

Ugh, how clumsy of me to trip over nothing...

Mika: ...Nnah? Tsumu-chan-senpai, why are ya crouchin' in the hallway?

Tsumugi: Oh, Mika-kun. I tripped and ended up scattering these books everywhere. I'm in the middle of picking them back up.

Mika: I see~. Then let me help ya.

Tsumugi: It's fine~. You just happened to be passing by, so please let me do it myself.

Mika: Even if ya say that, I ain't leavin' behind someone who needs help.

Uhh, I got all the books over on this side. Tsumu-chan-senpai, where were ya takin' these to?

Tsumugi: Wah, thanks for the help! All that's left is for me to take these over to the library.

Mika: Nnah, funnily enough, I was just on my way there.

So, let me take half. You look dizzy, so I'm worried you'll trip all over again.

Tsumugi: ...Then I'll hold you on that and let you carry half.

(When really, Mika-kun doesn't have any business at the library. He's a kind kid, so he couldn't leave me be.)

(Thank you, Mika-kun...♪)

[Management] Tsumugi Aoba / Chapter 1

Tsumugi: Sora-kun~? Where are you~?

Natsume: Ah, Senpai... Did you find him?

Tsumugi: No, I haven't seen him yet. Where on earth did he go?

Natsume: He told me he'd be killing a little time outside before the meeting started. So much time has gone by that it's already evening...

Uu~. It's impossible to contact him since he doesn't have a phone on him...

Tsumugi: Ah, over there! Isn't there someone in that tree?

Natsume: Eh? Sora! Senpai, that's Sora! He's asleep up there!

Tsumugi: You're right. He ended up taking a nap while climbing up a tree. Either way, I'm glad we found him. ♪

Natsume: Yeah, I'm really happy...

Tsumugi: Fufufu. ♪

Natsume: ... (Hits Tsumugi on the the back)

Tsumugi: Ow?! Eh, why did you hit me just now?

Natsume: Because I, of all people, felt the same way as you... Hurry up and get Sora down from that tree, alright?

[Management] Sora Harukawa / Chapter 6

Sora: Haha~♪ Hihi~♪ Huhu~♪ Hehe~♪ Hoho~♪

Makoto: Oh, is that you, Harukawa-kun?

Sora: Haha~? Is that Yuuki-sensee~'s voice? Hello! When you see an acquaintance, you should greet them. ♪

Makoto: Hello~. Oh, right—I want to ask you something real quick: were you playing a rhythm game at the arcade yesterday?

Sora: Yup! But why is Yuuki-sensee~ asking that?

Makoto: I was actually here yesterday, too. It was dark, so I thought I was seeing things. It's why I didn't approach you then, but it really was you, huh.

Ehehe, I'm glad I could meet someone from Yumenosaki here.

Come to think of it, Harukawa-kun, are the Game Research Club's activities going well?

Sora: Yup! Today is a break from club activities~, same as yesterday. We don't have unit practice either, so Sora is at the arcade to play games!

Yuuki-sensee~, did you come alone? Do you want to play a round against Sora?

Makoto: I do~. I got tired of wandering around the arcade by myself, so I'd be happy to play a round with you.

Sora: Uwaah, Sora is happy he can play a round against Yuuki-sensee~!

Let's play a lot, lot more! Hahihuheho~...♪
