An Unfamiliar Sight (HiMERU Idol Story)
Author: Kanata Haruka
Characters: Rinne, Niki, Kohaku, HiMERU
"—HiMERU also feels restless in his school uniform, you know."
Season: Winter
Location: Lounge in TV Station
Rinne: Hiya~ I got to the dressing room earlier than expected, huuh.
I've turned into a respectable member of society ♪
Niki: What're you talking about, Rinne-kun. A respectable member of society doesn't typically stroll into the dressing room right at the last minute.
Uh, wait? Is Kohaku-chan the only one here?
Rinne: Ain't it weird that Merumeru's runnin' late? Did he get a stomachache or somethin'?
Kohaku: Haah. You both just go at yer own pace as always. Didn't y'all see HiMERU-han's message?
HiMERU-han mentioned there were some procedures at Shuuetsu Academy he couldn't miss, so he'll be late.
Rinne: Academy? Oh, yeah, Merumeru's still a student.
Any way you look at it, he doesn't look like a student at all, so I totally forgot.
Niki: I completely forgot about it too. So HiMERU-kun's an earnest student, huh~
But, you know, it's kinda mysterious. I feel like I've never seen HiMERU-kun in his school uniform.
Even though we've already spent a bunch of time together?
Kohaku: Yeah, that's right. When Crazy:B got thrown into the same room, he and I both took a temporary absence from school.
He returned to school after movin' into the Seisoukan dorms, so we haven't had a straightforward chance to see it, y'know?
Rinne: Gotcha. Well, I guess Merumeru ain't tryna hide it either.
In that case, wouldn't it be interesting to see Merumeru in his uniform at least once?
HiMERU: —What about HiMERU's uniform?
Rinne: Oh, speak of the devil ♪ Hey, Merumeru. You're wearing your uniform this... time...
HiMERU: Apologies for the delay in getting here. HiMERU will get ready quickly.
Rinne & Kohaku: .........
HiMERU: Amagi, Oukawa, what's the matter? You look quite dumbfounded.
Rinne: Gyahahahahaha! Hey, hey, ain't that a bit too much, Merumeru?!
HiMERU: What is it with you laughing all of a sudden, Amagi?
Niki: Woah~ It's my first time seeing HiMERU-kun in his school uniform.
Yup, yup, I see. So it feels like that~ It's kinda refreshing.
HiMERU: —Right. Now that Shiina has said that, HiMERU gets the gist of it.
However, he finds it upsetting to be laughed at to this extent.
Kohaku: No, sorry, HiMERU-han... It ain't like I'm burstin' out laughin' like Rinne-han, but....
Seein' HiMERU-han in an unfamiliar outfit, I was at a loss for words to describe this strange feelin'...
Rinne: No matter how I look at it, you look like a cosplayer! For real, my stomach hurts! Gyahahahaha!
HiMERU: (...Is it really enough to warrant saying that?)
Rinne: Hey, hey, don't make that face, Merumeru.
I've never seen ya look like a proper highschooler before, so I just burst out laughing.
Kohaku: My bad, HiMERU-han. I'm in the same boat as Rinne-han.
There's a saying of "the clothes make the man", but in yer case, it's the opposite.
The uniform can't compete with yer mature atmosphere.
HiMERU: —Amagi, Oukawa, there's no need to force yourselves to keep talking.
It seems like you are desperately trying to patch it up, but the conclusion remains the same.
From now on, no matter how much of a hurry he's in, HiMERU will make sure not to come to work still in uniform.
Rinne: Don't get so pouty, Merumeru. It was my bad.
See, I never really went to school properly.
So it's prolly the norm for highschoolers like Merumeru to exist, yeah?
Niki: Well, besides HiMERU-kun, none of us are really attending school properly. Even I only graduated middle school.
Kohaku: I'm also just startin' to get back into school.
If you think 'bout it that way, the only one here who's leadin' a decent student life's HiMERU-han.
I wonder what kinda highschool life yer leadin'. I'm curious now...
HiMERU: —HiMERU can confidently say it hasn't been the youth that Oukawa is expecting.
Rinne: But, actually, you're havin' an exquisite time at school, ain'tcha?
Accordin' to our deputy director, Shuuetsu's a place with a well-established employee benefits system.
HiMERU: HiMERU hardly makes use of it. Naturally, HiMERU prioritizes idol activities.
—Ah, but some of the services available at Shuuetsu may indeed be described as "exquisite".
Kohaku: Oh~ If HiMERU-han says so, then they must be real good.
What the heck are they? I wanna know for reference.
HiMERU: Although it may have sounded grandiose, it's not such a big deal.
It is only a ryoutei—that is to say, a high class traditional restaurant. You can enjoy delicious dishes with well-balanced nutrition.
Niki: Please wait a second!
A ryoutei?! There's a place like that at Shuuetsu Academy?!
HiMERU: Yes, it seems that it is managed by the same affiliate company as CosPro.
A dedicated chef and nutritionist are assigned to each idol to provide the optimal menus.
It is reasonably inexpensive for students, so it has been helpful for HiMERU to utilize it several times when he eats meals.
Niki: ...I see. There's such a heavenly place in Shuuetsu, is there.
I've decided. I'm gonna transfer to Shuuetsu Academy! And I'll eat a bunch of food at the ryoutei!
Kohaku: That's a lousy motive, Niki-han...
Rinne: To begin with, Niki's a middle school graduate. You gotta start from the beginning, not as a transfer!
You'll be a first year in highschool and it'll just be too tough, so forget it, forget it.
You'd be better off securing your future by becoming my housewife and getting a permanent job at my place.
Niki: I hate that, I don't wanna be taken away by Rinne-kun for my whole life!
Please, HiMERU-kun! I don't like being pushy, but I wanna go to Shuuetsu's ryoutei too!
HiMERU: —HiMERU can't do anything about it single-handedly.
However, Shuuetsu Academy is a school for outstanding idols.
If Shiina can demonstrate exceptional talent as an idol, perhaps...
Niki: Are you for realsies?! You must be!
HiMERU: —Provided that you can demonstrate your ability. In that sense, this upcoming recording may be just the right chance for you.
Niki: Alriiight! Once it's decided like that, I'll get to work right away!
Rinne-kun and Kohaku-chan, we're going all out today!
The taste of ryoutei is waiting for me!
Kohaku: Niki-han really is a guy who only cares 'bout his stomach...
Rinne: ...Nice job baiting Niki, Merumeru.
But I won't take the blame for whatever happens later, aight?
HiMERU: —HiMERU understands that. That is why he didn't confirm anything either.
In the worst case scenario, he will take out a meal from the ryoutei and bring it back to the dormitory. It's humiliating, so he'd rather not, if possible.
Now, let's put an end to the chitchat. There's not much time left for the recording, so let's get ready quickly.
—HiMERU also feels restless in his school uniform, you know.
Note: About the housewife line... Yeah I don't know man. What it says on the tin. The page just talks about how women getting married used to be referred to as a permanent job, which is what Rinne says Niki should get with him.

Adonis FS2- Let my voice reach for you Chapter Two
Did you struggle… To be found by someone…
Cast: Adonis, Souma
Author: Suika
Season: Winter
Location: Beach
Proofed by: ketsuinoyaiba
Adonis: Huh, you just got here, Anzu? I just arrived too. It seems Kanzaki arrived a little bit earlier, it looks like he’s gazing over at the sea.
Souma: Hmm… It seems as though there are no drastic changes; that puts me at ease.
However, Shinkai-dono, too, would probably be more relieved if he sees for himself. Let’s take a picture with this “smartphone.”
“Press here to take a photo,” but why is my face on the screen? I do not wish to take a “selfie,” I wish to take a picture of the sea!
Hah?! What happened… The screen’s completely different now…?
Adonis: Calm down, Kanzaki. Let me take a look at it.
Looks like you’re on video mode, if you press here you’ll be on photo mode.
…? Huh…? Wasn’t it here?
Souma: Adonis-dono, it looks nothing like the other screen we saw. Is it possible to take a photo with this still?
Adonis: Give me a minute… I don’t know how to use smartphones that well either, so I’m a bit confused.
Souma: Aaah, that’s right! I must apologise! I am so sorry for rushing you!
…Hm…? It looks like it’s fixed?
Adonis: No, that’s not this phone. Look over there, Anzu is taking pictures of us.
Souma: Oh, that’s right… Anzu-dono is here to take photos for the “pamphlet.” I must apologise for all the ruckus.
You don’t mind? When Adonis-dono is with me, you get to see a different side of him? I’m happy to be of use.
Adonis: Alright, you should be able to take pictures of the sea now, Kanzaki. I want you to try it out now.
Souma: Aah, thank you.
Mhm! The ocean was captured in all its glory! ♪
Adonis: Hmm, thinking about it now, I’m pretty sure I’ve been to the beach with Anzu before.
But that was a foreign sea, the atmosphere was completely different—but the sea is as beautiful as ever.
Souma: Of course, the weather is good today, so the sea’s surface is shining ever-so brightly under the sun.
The ocean’s charm is that it changes depending on the weather and the ocean currents.
It is especially beautiful in this season, particularly in the early mornings, when the sky turns to white. And when snow falls, it’s a perfect scene! It reminds me of a saying, “early mornings in winter are the best.”
Adonis: I think I’ve heard about that before, wasn’t it related to an old Japanese book?
Souma: I expect nothing less of you, Adonis-dono! Your diligence is admirable; you are truly wonderful ♪
Adonis: No, I’m pretty sure you told me before.
You teach me a lot of things I do not know about this country, Kanzaki—not just you, Kanzaki, but Anzu and Oogami too.
This is the sea’s edge. I came from a land far from here, but you all accepted me all the same. I have a lot of good friends, and that makes me happy.
…I’m sorry. When I see the sea, it reminds me of my hometown.
Souma: There’s no need to worry. Many people come to the sea to reflect on themselves. It allows us to accept our thoughts and emotions in its gentle embrace.
Moreover, if you can find your true feelings about your “feature live,” then it would all be worth reflecting here.
Adonis: Thank you… For Anzu and Kanzaki… And for my own sake, I hope I can get something out of this.
(I’m able to continue my idol activities in this foreign land alongside my friends. I think I have learned many things compared to when I first came here).
(Am I getting closer to my dream?)
Hmm…?
Souma: Are you alright, Adonis-dono?
Adonis: The sand between my feet is moving…
…! Kanzaki, there’s a tiny creature that jumped out of the sand!?
Souma: Calm yourself… Hmm, looks like it is taking a rest. What a rare occurrence in a place like this.
Adonis: Is it rare for hermit crabs to be near the sea…?
Souma: No, I didn't mean it in that way. Shinkai-dono told me that hermit crabs are usually found on the sea shore this time of year, so I was taken aback to see one beneath the sand.
Adonis-dono, let’s take the hermit crab over there.
Adonis: Are you sure I’m the right person for the job…? Wouldn’t they get hurt by my touch?
Souma: There is nothing to be afraid of. Someone as kind-hearted as the Adonis-dono I know would only make a creature feel at ease. Hold it just as you usually do, in your gentle grasp.
Adonis: Anzu, you also think it’s fine? Understood, I’ll try it.
Oooh… Such a small creature is moving in the palm of my hand…
Look over here, Anzu. Isn’t it cute? I could end up staring at it forever.
Souma: You scooped it up perfectly. Let’s take it over to the shoreline over there. Are you comfortable doing so?
Adonis: Aah, don’t you worry. I would never even dream of dropping it.
Hmph, the wind is strong. With the way things are going, the hermit crab will end up getting blown away…!?
Oh, is the wind slowing? Will the hermit crab be safe…?
Looks like it’s taking cover in its shell. I’m glad; it looks like you can protect yourself. Allow me to take you to the shore before the wind starts coming down again.
I’m sorry if you felt scared with me. Please go back to your friends now.
Heh… —Anzu? You’re surprised I noticed the hermit crab?
The sand was moving strangely, so it wasn’t too hard to figure out what was going on.
Kanzaki, I should also thank you. I could find hermit crabs by myself, but I would have never thought to bring them to shore.
Souma: I didn’t help too much, I just gave you some knowledge I had.
I do not know what happened with the hermit crab exactly, but it likely got swept away by the waves from the shore onto the sand.
I am sure it was desperately trying to get back to the shore once more.
I am sure that it felt like begging people to find it on this large beach, and its patience finally paid off when you found it, Adonis-dono.
I am certain the hermit crab appreciated it.
Adonis: Did you struggle… To be found by someone…
Souma: What did you say?
Adonis: It’s nothing… I just thought the hermit crab was like me.
I’ve been singing for a long time too, for songs are a way to express your wishes and your feelings.
This is what I cherish most as Otogari Adonis of UNDEAD. I hope my voice can bring someone peace, even if only for a moment.
I want my voice to be echoed around the world, and I want you to know… I am here.
I have been trying my best to have my dream be heard. That’s what I want for my “feature live.”
Could you consider taking the pamphlet into that direction…?
Souma: So you want to tell the world, then? …Fufu, what a lovely “thought,” it is just like you, Adonis-dono. I cannot wait to see the end result of the “pamphlet.”
Adonis: Ah, then I will be sure to meet the expectations of those who are looking forward to my “feature live.”
No matter where I am in this world, I will be sure to send my voice across the oceans.

- IDOL STORY - Sweets Road
Niki Shiina Idol Story with the members of "Sweets Club"
Niki: Here, sorry for the wait! A croque-monsieur for Suou-kun and a curry for Kohaku-chan ♪
You're really close, having lunch together like this! Are you two going out?
Kohaku: No, it's not like that at all. We're just on a shopping trip.
Today, we have two activities for the "Sweets Club" and "Kaori", and we have to go shopping for sweets to bring to the "Sweets Club".
Niki: Hmm. Both of you?
Kohaku: Yeah. We belong to the same circles.
Niki: Then I guess you're good friends after all~! ...Ouch!
Kohaku: It's just a coincidence, okay, Niki-han?
Niki: Yes! Alright, alright, don't pinch my cheeks~
Tsukasa: Fufu. Oukawa's shyness really is barbaric.
Kohaku: Haa? Shyness?
Tsukasa: I was a member of both Circles before you. Which means you must have joined knowing I was there.
In other words, you decided to join both clubs because of me, right? "Kohakun" ♪
Kohaku: What are you, an idiot? I said it was just a coincidence. Don't be so full of yourself.
By the way, Niki-han, I have a question. Do you know a good place for sweets?
Tsukasa: We're having a hard time because we've used all the stores we know and the famous ones, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Niki: So you two are looking for a hidden gem, huh? Hmm...
How about I make it? I've never received an order from the "Sweets Club", so I fit the criteria ♪
Tsukasa: Aah, that is true. Well then, please do so.
Niki: Understood~ Please wait while you eat your meals. My part-time job is about to end, so I'm going to borrow the kitchen to make some.
30 minutes later
Niki: Thank you for waiting! Here are my handmade snowball cookies ♪
Kohaku: Ho-ho. They're round and cute lookin', no? They come in three different colours, too, do they taste different?
Niki: That's right. Brown is cocoa, pink is strawberry and purple is red potato. I've prepared a lot of them for you to try ♪
Tsukasa: Thank you very much. Well then, I'll take your word for it...
...Marvelous ♪ It's really delicious. Gentle in taste, would go well with any tea.
Kohaku: The crunchy texture is good, too. I think this will suit the "Sweets Club". Thank you, Niki-han ♪
1 hour later
HiMERU: ...So, why is Shiina here?
Tsukasa: He is today's special Guest. And he is also the one who made the Snowball Cookies we brought today.
Even if he is not a member, he is still a comrade who loves Sweets. There is no reason not to invite him, is there?
Niki: That's right! I love eating and making sweets ♪
HiMERU: ...HiMERU understands. HiMERU accepts. And Ayase?
Mayoi: I-it's fine for me too. But, umm...
I prepared handmade butter sablés. But the difference between mine and Shiina-san's, who is a professional...
Aah, I wanna die. How embarrassing...
Niki: Mmh-hmm~! Mayo-chan's butter sablé is delicious!
You can't die when you can make such delicious food, I want you to live for my sake!
HiMERU: You're being too stubborn, Shiina. This isn't a quick-eating contest, so calm down.
Niki: Nahaha. My bad, my part-time job just ended, so I'm really hungry...
Mayoi: No, no, please do not worry about it. It's very refreshing to watch Shiina-san eat.
Sometimes it's scary to see him eating mindlessly and gorging himself, though...♪
Kohaku: HiMERU-han, what are ya waitin' for?
HiMERU-han must have some stylish and unusual sweets this time, too.
HiMERU: Fufu. Well then, let HiMERU show you.
HiMERU prepared cream puffs...♪
Niki: Eeh!? HiMERU-kun with cream puffs!?
HiMERU: What a goofy reaction... HiMERU is just HiMERU, you know?
Niki: Nahaha. It's just a joke~ A "Crazy:B" joke ☆
Kohaku: Stop that. If you say "Crazy:B", that means I'm in it too.
Tsukasa: ...Umm. Is it okay if I try HiMERU-senpai's Cream Puff?
HiMERU: Yes. Go ahead and have some.
Tsukasa: Thank you very much...? It looks like a Cake, no?
...Aah, the Cream is packed tightly inside. I see ♪
Niki: The square shape makes it easy to grasp. I can just pop it in my mouth ♪
O-Oh my god! I was planning on eating it slowly but I ended up eating it all up!
I think I'm the one eating most snowball cookies I've brought, too. Mmh-hmm...
HiMERU: You feel sorry, but you don't stop, do you? If you don't, this will turn into a dinner party for Shiina, so please make something else in the kitchen as an apology.
Niki: Alright. Do you have any requests?
Tsukasa: ...Then, could you make something with this matcha?
Mayoi: Do you always carry matcha with you, Tsukasa-san?
Tsukasa: No, only today. Because of Kaori's activities, we had access to some good matcha.
Niki: It's hard to decide what to make with this. Pancakes and ice cream, doughnuts and scones, even green tea-flavoured cakes sound good!
Aah, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...
Alrighty! I'll make lots and lots of those, so please sit back and relax while you wait...♪

Yuuta Aoi - Match on the Way Home
Author: Umeda Chitose, Happy Elements K.K
Characters: Yuuta, Rinne
Translator: Mika Enstars
Proofers: 310mc & meteorgreen
"...Wha~, It's Rinne-senpai! Right when I was wondering what unruly good-for-nothing was trying to talk to me~."
Season: Autumn
Location: Arcade
Yuuta: (Whew, there’s still some free spots left at the fighting stands~![1] There aren't many people here, so I can put my heart into my matches without worrying about taking turns.)
(As always, the character I'm gonna pick is... this little guy!)
(Aw yeah. I just love this guy’s tricky feet strats!)
(There’s nothing like kicking people’s butt with ninjutsu! ♪ Eat this: Flame-Thrower Jutsu! ☆)[2]
(...Huh? Did it just get countered? Seems like today's opponent’s putting up a nasty fight.)
(They keep switching between different meta characters, and their combos are always on point. They switch up their strat each round, too.)
(But I'm not gonna lose! Even if it means pulling through at the very last second, I'll definitely win!)
Some time later…
Yuuta: Heheh, still undefeated~♪
One of them was a close call, but I still had one ace up my sleeve.
???: Welp, I lost 'em all.
Yuuta: (...Wait, that voice… The person on the other side is on their way over here, but that’s...)
(I've got a bad feeling. I need to slip away before he sees me——)
Rinne: Oh-ho? Well if it ain't one of them Yumenosaki kids. S' that you, Yuta-kun?
Never thought I'd meetcha in a place like this. ♪
Yuuta: ...Wha~, It's Rinne-senpai! Right when I was wondering what unruly good-for-nothing was trying to talk to me~.
Rinne: “Good-for-nothing?” Come on now, there’s no need to go that far! Ain’t that a bit too mean?
Why’re you the one with a peeved look on your face, anyway? You’re the one who beat my ass over and over again.
I couldn't even scrape up a single win against ya, Yuta-kun! Haven't I suffered enough~?
Yuuta: I wouldn’t have let you win even if I knew it was you. But hey, I think you put up a pretty good fight, 'kay?
Rinne: Hey, you’re still patronizing me! I toldja, it hurts~!
...Well, whatever. To today’s arcade champion, Yuta-kun—I'll treat ya to some soda. What'cha want?
Yuuta: Eh, you treating me to something feels sorta suspicious. Are you sure you're not gonna turn around and ask for something ridiculous?
Rinne: I won't, I won't! Who do ya think I am? Prizes go to the victors, don't they?
Yuuta: ...Something carbonated, then.[3]
Rinne: How many of 'em? One? Two?
Yuuta: Hm? Yeah, I'm thirsty, but why would I need two?
Rinne: Huh, guess I was right to think it’s just you alone today, and no Hina?
Yuuta: ...Y'know, just 'cuz we’re twins, doesn't mean that we're always together.
Sometimes we go home separately, and sometimes only one of us has a job in the afternoon…
I haven't seen him since he left homeroom, actually. He said he was going to the garden today or something, and left the classroom early.
Rinne: So while Hina's out tending to crops, Yuta-kun's droppin' by the arcade on the way back from school.
You called me a good-for-nothing earlier, but taking a detour to the arcade sounds pretty irresponsible to me, y'know!
Yuuta: What~? This stuff's normal. You can buy and eat at the shopping district, and there's even a live house here you can go to.
Hiiro-kun stops by places on the way back from school, too. Don’t you know about that?
Rinne: ...He tells me plenty about how bright and fun school life is, but he's never told me about his after-school detours.
Yuuta: I’m guessing Aniki takes him around places, since they’re both roommates.
He probably said something like, "I’m sure you got used to school by now! So let’s head on to the next step!"
Rinne: I can imagine that. So have you two been getting along with that lil' brother of mine by doing stuff like that with him?
Yuuta: Yep, we get along. Our class as a whole is pretty close in general.
During the last exam period, we would all stay after class and study together. But this one time, at some point, Aniki sneaked out...
By the time I noticed, he’d gone and bought soda for everybody.
Knowing Aniki, he probably just did it 'cuz he wanted to take a break, really.
(...Wait, at what point did I start talking about Aniki? Why should I bother telling Rinne-senpai all this, anyway?)
...
Rinne: Why'd ya stop? What happened after that? I wanna hear stuff about homeroom and class duties too.
Yuuta: Can't you just ask Hiiro-kun directly instead of me? What’s so interesting about homeroom and class duties in the first place—
Oh, that reminds me. Our class has this new craze where the person in charge of class duties will leave a note in a journal for the person on duty the next day.
Aniki started getting really into it, so he began leaving riddles and making it impossible to read without decoding the message!
(Huh? I started talking about Aniki again. I guess I can try telling him about what Hiiro-kun wrote...)
Rinne: ...Oh, they've got a new medal game[4] here! Yuta-kun, c'mere!
Yuuta: Eh? Why are we going along with what you want?! I thought you told me to continue my stories...!
Rinne: Hey, it's fine! Look, I'll give ya half of the medals I just bought, so let’s play another match! ♪
Yuuta: What do you mean by that?
Rinne: Let's see who can earn more medals in thirty minutes. I gotcha some soda, so now you gotta go for round two!
Yuuta: You told me you weren’t going to do something like this…
(First he pesters me to talk to him, then he says he wants to listen to me, but stops listening halfway.)
(Is it because I only ended up talking about Aniki? No, now that I think of it, it was he who brought up Aniki in the first place.)
...I'm seriously pissed.
Rinne: Where did this come from? Not enough calcium in your system?[5]
Yuuta: Nothing like that. I was just thinking about how irritated I'd be if you beat me in a match.
So you better know that I'll win no matter what..!
Fighting stands, or battle tables (対戦台), are back-to back arcade games commonly found in Japan. They're popular for fighting games, and instead of the side-by-side versus modes often found in overseas arcades, the opponents will stand on opposing sides of a machine. You can't see who you're fighting against on the other side, which is a feature of this set-up.
Fun fact! Yuuta plays this same game with the same character in the !-era story, “Virtual Offense and Defence”, which is associated with this card.
In the card's illustration, you can see that he gets ginger ale!
Medal games are a type of arcade game commonly found in Japan, where money is traded for medals or tokens, which can then be played in games in exchange for more medals. They simulate gambling and are often modeled off of poker, pachinko, and slots, hence Rinne's particular interest.
A side effect of a calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia) can cause someone to act more irritable. The more you know!

Ensemble Stars! Adonis Idol Story : Birthday Celebration / Hakaze Kaoru
At the birthday party hall
Kaoru : Wait, Adonis-chan! Just before, with Anzu-chan...
Wah! I mixed up "Adonis-kun" and "Anzu-chan" and ended up calling you by a weird name. That's so embarrassing!
Mmh? You're happy because I called you by your name?
So that's what was bothering you... Well that's really something "Adonis-like", isn't it?
By the way, did you just forget what I said? Using "-chan" for a man is gross. If Sakuma learns about it he's definitely going to make fun of me
Aah~... I'm so startled I forgot what I wanted to say
Well whatever, I'll just tell you that. Happy birthday Adonis-kun ♪

Sweets Groovy - Shinkai Kanata FS 4*
Season: Autumn
Kanata: hum hum hu~m♪
mix everything together well, then draw circles like blue-ringed octopus spots~ draw~ round and round and round♪
–hmm? who is it. it’s noisy out there~ i’m having fun “cooking”, i wish they’d keep it down
Niki: W, what in the world is going on here!? The smell—it STINKS!?
Kanata: ah. so the footsteps were you, niki. hello~☆
Niki: –Gya!? What’s with this brutal accident scene!?
Lined up on the table are... things with fish impaled in them… This looks like a painting of hell! The fishy smell is awful too!
Hm…? Sniff sniff… Mixed in with the smell of death is… a hint of butter and chocolate and milk…?
Uh… This trapezoidal thing with a bunch of shishamo sticking out of it… what the heck is this?
Kanata: yep, that’s “anemone chocolate”
Niki: A, anemone chocolate!?
Kanata: yes. precisely speaking, it’s chocolate cupcakes decorated with shishamo. and i just made cookies~♪
Niki: Chocolate, cupcakes, cookies? N, no way… It can’t be…
You mean these things are food? You weren't torturing the fish!?
Kanata: how rude~ hmph. i would never do that to the fishies. i’m making some yummy sweets
Niki: I don’t believe you! If you were cooking, there's no way it would've turned out this horrific though?
Or rather. Shinkai-kun, during the Old-Fashioned Sports Festival, you were in the dormitory kitchen making bentos, right? If that’s the case, then how–
(Hm? Wait a minute… If I give it a real good think again…)
(At the time, Shinkai-kun and Tenshouin-kun were there, but they were more like assistants, and the actual food prep was done by Kazehaya-kun…)
(Could it be that Kazehaya-kun anticipated a disaster and protected the peace of the kitchen!? He really is an immovable guardian deity...!)
Kanata: mm, i did make bentos for everyone during the “old-fashioned sports festival”
i made "chocolates" at the chocolat fes last year, and that got me interested in cooking
today i decided to “challenge” myself and make "sweets" all by myself
the "mackerel chocolates" i made during chocolat fes weren’t very well liked. strange, isn’t it?
but it can’t be helped. we can’t change the results.
that’s why this time i’ll make sure my “sweets” are received "well". it's "revenge", so to speak
but. i don't have anyone to help me “taste test”, so i’m in a bit of a “pickle”. there's no point if i make and eat them myself
so you came at the right time. niki, would you be my “taste tester”~?
Niki: T, taste test!? You want me to eat that!? No no no no! I’ll pass on this one!
Kanata: eh~ why not? i did my “best” making all these “sweets”. they’re definitely delicious~
Niki: No, no! You're kidding, right!? No matter how I look at it, they definitely taste terrible! You can’t call this cooking. This is blasphemous to the ingredients–
(......Hm? Wait a minute.)
(If… if I don’t taste test these… then what’ll happen to the poor ingredients? They might just get thrown into the garbage…!?)
N…n…Nnnnnnnn!
Aghhhhh! I’d rather commit seppuku than abandon the ingredients and let them go to waste!
Fine! I’ll be your taste tester!
Kanata: yay♪ thank you very much~ i “made” a lot, so “eat” up~ here, go ahead☆
Niki: Gh… This smells crazy. It feels like my saliva is retracting and my mouth has completely dried up!? It was made with foodstuffs so there's no way it's inedible, but I’m still hesitant…!
No no, Shiina Niki! This is the time to man up… there’s nothing in this world that isn’t edible☆ Let’s have a taste!
……
Kanata: poke… poke. he~y, niki~?
h~m. his “face” turned “deathly pale”
he did eat everything though. looking at him, it seems like the sweets weren’t a “success”. that’s “too bad”
but i won’t give up
even small droplets of water can hollow out a stone if they keep dripping in the same place☆
time to begin my “revenge” again. it's “challenge time”☆
Niki: Please, just surrender gracefully..!!! How can you be so optimistic even when you’re looking right at this tragedy?
Kanata: ah. you opened your “eyes”. i’m glad that you’re so full of spirit
Niki: I dreamed that I was about to cross a beautiful river to the other side, but an insanely strong sense of responsibility brought me back
At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before someone here falls victim to your cooking… As a chef, I can’t let that happen
The kitchen is supposed to be for making tasty dishes, not a murder site
That’s why I’m going to be your assistant and help you make those sweets, Shinkai-kun!
Kanata: h~m? for some reason it “feels” like you said a bunch of “rude” things?
well, it’s fine. it’s good to have more “friends”
i learned a phrase from “ohisama”-san that’s perfect for right now: this is “ii hiyori”♪
clap clap clap☆ niki, you’re amazing~
tuna “cutlet sandwich”, sea bream “pie”, “senbei” made from ground fish powder. and, "cookies" made using sardine paste
all of them were really delicious~♪
Niki: Nahaha. If you’re satisfied, then it’s all good~♪
But you helped out too, Shinkai-kun. Having you to mix the ingredients and knead things together was a great help
Kanata: fufu. they were rather “small” tasks, but i’m “happy” that you said that
—now☆
Niki: Hm? Shinkai-kun, why are you rolling up your sleeves…?
Kanata: i wasn’t able to demonstrate my “ability” just by mixing and kneading together the “ingredients”
Niki: Um……?
Kanata: besides, after watching you “cook”, i thought of a lot of great “ideas”~
as “thanks” for making so many delicious “sweets”, it’s my turn to show off what i can "do"
Niki: Even after all that, you’re still not satisfied!? Ah, wait... STOOOOOOP!!

Mayoi Idol Story 1
Characters: Mayoi
Season: Spring
Writer: Akira
Mayoi: Hi. Hello. Sorry to bother youuuu.
You are Anzu-san, right?
I apologize for letting you see my gloomy face so late at night. I'm Mayoi Ayase.
I own this building, kind of. I've lived here for a long time.
... Eek! Please don't make sudden movements! I'm scared! I would never have talked to you! But, you seemed to be troubled by something!
Oh, I can't do this. It's terrifying to talk to strangers... I'm going back to the cabin for me to be alone. I'm sorry to bother you.
Ugh! What's going on? Please! Stop pulling my hair! It huuuuurts! Violence is not the answer! And I'm definitely not your enemy!
... Huh? Why do you keep bowing? Are you going to knock me down with a headbutt? What a horrible person!
You aren't? And you say you're sorry... You're sorry you pulled my hair?
No, no problem, no need to apologize! I'm good. In fact, I've been growing out my hair for you to grab!
Ohh. Um, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was acting suspiciously... You must be scared, being alone with a guy you barely know late at night, especially with someone like me—
A suspicious, unidentified person... Ahhh, I'm sorry for my existence.
Umm? Why are you stroking my head right now? Are you trying to comfort me?
Mayoi: No, no! You don't have to! My hair will smear your hand!
Please stop! Sorry, sorry! I'm a lowly creature that doesn't deserve your kindness!
Ah, I know you think I'm troublesome. I can feel it, because people always look at me with contempt and displeasure.
But... you don't have that look in your eyes. I can feel it, as I said. I've always been sensitive to what others are feeling.
Fufu. I'm relieved now. I'm glad you aren't a bad person.
... So, more than anything, you're in trouble, right?
I just saw you walking back and forth between the lobby and the emergency stairwell—
—You were trying to get the elevator to move even though the power had already been shut off.
Eh? Where was I watching you from?
Fufufu... This building and I are one and the same. If anything happens within its walls, I'lI know it right away. Fufu, fufufufu♪
Oh noooo... I'm sorry for my terrifying laughter! I scared you, didn't I? I'm sorry. I'm so disgusting!
Anyway, Anzu-san, did you leave something at the office?
I know a secret passageway... And I was trying to tell you where it was, so you could get your stuff.
Mayoi: Sorry. I don't like to poke my nose into other people's business, but I can't just leave you like this.
You've always taken good care of us idols, Anzu-san. I wanted to return the favor.
Eh? How do I know your name even though we've never worked together?
Well... You see, I know everything that goes on in this building.
I've been watching you guys all the time.
Whoops, that sounds weird. I scared you again, didn't I? ... Sorry, sorry, I apologize for being such suspicious.
Anyway, you'll be devoured by the evil ghost if you keep walking around the building this late.
Quickly do what you need to do, and get back to somewhere safe, like your home.
If I could be of help, being born would be worth it.
Now then, this way, please... Let me take you to the secret passageway. I know, I know it's hard to trust someone like me immediately, but please follow me.
Fufu. All right... This way.
There's a secret passageway in the stairwell ahead that even the current owners of the building don't know about. It's dark here. Watch your step.
Yes. Fufu, right foot, left foot, and again♪ Right foot, left foot, one more time♪
Oh, why are you laughing? I didn't mean to be funny. I'm sorry... Did I treat you like a child?
Mayoi: I like something fragile and cute. I am always willing to give them my love.
If possible, I want to keep them to myself—
and do everything to raise them♪
... Whoops. Sorry, I was joking. Really! Don't be afraid of me, please.
Fufu, fufufufu...♪
... Why are you frozen? You don't have to be so scared... Cause I'm by your sideeeeee♪

adonis otogari idol story 3
i’m kind of on an adonis kick right now so this is his third idol story! as usual, already localized on engstars (but hey, not everyone’s ascending those idol ranks). gimme a follow or a like or uhhh… anything! if you want more of what i do. as usual, i’ve made some minor tweaks/redone translation from the localization for readability.
♪ obligatory disclaimer! none of this is mine, i’m just sharing it for my love of our idol boys. all content belongs to happy elements ♪
outside ES, on the lawn
mitsuru: Ado~! I know you’re hiding around here!
If you don’t turn yourself in, I’ll arrest you as the police~☆
adonis: …
(I’m being chased by the police while I didn’t do anything wrong. This feels strange.)
(So this is the game in Japan called “Cops and Robbers”... The players are divided into two groups, the cops, and the robbers. The former chases the latter.) (1)
(But I believe the robbers have their own reasons for stealing.)
(Maybe they have no other choice but to steal because they have to support their families.)
(The true evil here might be the circumstances that force them to become thieves…)
eichi: Otogari, maybe you should focus on the situation rather than being pensive.
adonis: Tenshouin… You’re also a “robber” in this, right?
Sorry for zoning out. I was wondering if we should simply determine that the robbers are bad.
eichi: What an interesting idea. However, the “robber” here is nothing more than a role we play in a game.
This is a circle activity aiming to develop friendships across agencies within ES…
The purpose of us Sports Survivors is to improve our stamina by playing.
adonis: While that’s true, your shoulders are heaving heavily. I can see you’re exhausted. It looks like you’re physically drained…
You should eat meat if you don’t feel physically strong enough.
eichi: Oh, sorry for making you worry. It’s okay, I joined Sports Survivors to build myself up.
I should try to overcome this.
adonis: It seems like it has become a literal surviving game for you…
eichi: I want to be strong enough so intense exercise no longer poses a threat… though I’ll refrain from straining myself.
If I really faint, ES staff will administer first aid, so it’s okay.
After all, if I were to collapse and leave the idol industry, the ES Project would be as good as dead.
adonis: All right, please be careful. Your body isn’t yours alone.
eichi: Hehe, what a word of tenderness. Really, it’s okay.
Or rather, the influential figures in the industry somehow still treat me like a child, so my resentment has built up for such things.
adonis: Sorry. I shouldn’t have underestimated you.
eichi: That’s all right. Since we’re on the same side this time, let’s work together to defeat the “cops”.
mitsuru: Ado~! I know you’re hiding around here~!
If you don’t show yourself, I’m going to look for you~!
eichi: … Well, now is not the time to chat. Our “cop” is patrolling nearby. Let’s think of a way to escape this situation.
adonis: Hm… Understood.
First… Tenma is investigating the shade we’re currently hiding in.
And to be honest, he’s strong. If we make a run for it, he will catch up to you right away, Tenshouin.
eichi: Right. Tenma has been making a name for himself recently. I heard that he won in track and field the other day.
I don’t think you can defeat him in a race without a sound plan, right?
adonis: Right. He’ll catch me the moment I spare any effort. He has really improved.
Things would be in my favor if I were the one to chase others. But as we’re being chased, Tenma is a formidable opponent.
So… It’s now two-on-one… We should probably take advantage of our numbers and attack.
eichi: Keen intuition. I was thinking the same thing.
I have a proposition. In Cops and Robbers, as long as there are uncaptured robbers, they can release every other arrested robber from jail.
So how about one of us acts as bait while the other escapes?
adonis: I agree. This seems to be the only way to escape from Tenma.
Now then, we need to decide who should be the bait… Please let me do it.
eichi: No, allow me. You have a better chance of getting past the police and rescuing the prisoners from jail.
adonis: But… Are you sure?
eichi: As I said, please don’t worry about me.
We have to keep the trump card within our grasp in order to win, Adonis.
adonis: … Understood. I’ll go ahead with this plan…
mitsuru: Found you, Ado!
Hmm? Eichan is here too~?
Tag, tag, tag, taaag ☆
adonis: …?! I can’t believe you have come this close while we were talking…
mitsuru: Mm-hmm, you rarely let your guard down, Ado ♪
eichi: Oh, we’re caught in the middle of a strategy meeting? This is unexpected.
Seems that things don’t always go as we desire, whether in a game or in our life…♪
adonis: Yes, you’re right. All we can do is try to live in the present.
But we can play this game as many times as we want before the sun goes down. That is us Sports Survivors… ♪
translator’s note:
i am almost certain that they meant cops and robbers. there’s no way a real person would put “police and thieves”. that’s like calling rock, paper, scissors “stone, thin wood slice, dual blades”. changed that throughout the story accordingly
these notes probably feel a bit extraneous, but i feel that it’s important that i point out exactly where i deviate from the original (in places other than grammar) just out of respect for the original content. anyhoo!! as always, thank you bunches for reading. hugs and kisses! feel free to shoot me a message, a story you’d like translated, or an ask! i’d love to talk to you all :)

Rhapsody of a Mediocrity
Season: Summer
Aira: (Oh man, what do I do… I don’t think I’ll get suspended just because of a failed test.)
(But when the marks are THIS terrible, it is a big shocker.)
(It was just a quiz so the damage is still low, but if these were the results of the periodic exam…)
(AH~ Just imagining it is sending shivers down my spine.)
(I’ll try harder next time. I’ll study properly and make sure not to fail.)
(...is what I say whenever we get our answer sheets back. Actually doing it is something that has never happened.)
(I suck at studying… Yumenosaki is an idol training school so why don’t we have more idol-esque lessons(?))
(Memorising the names of idols and singing idol songs—If those were our lessons, then I’m confident my results would have been the best…♪)
Hiiro: —You seem quite happy, Aira.
Aira: H-Hiro-kun?!
Hiiro: Did something pleasant happen? If you don’t mind, I would like you to tell me as well… Let me partake in your joy.
Aira: Nothing nice happened… Why are you here though? This is a first year classroom?
Hiiro: Umu, I know. But classes ended a while ago and even after a long time passed, Aira didn’t appear… So I came to pick you up.
I’m grateful that you were in your classroom. Since I’m still unfamiliar with this building.
Aira: Ah… Yeah, didn’t I promise that I’ll show you around school?
But now’s a bad time so can I show you around tomorrow? I’m feeling down right now so I’m not really in the mood for it…
Hiiro: ? You are feeling down? Did something happen?
Aira: The results of my test were terrible, y’know. Well, it is my fault for doing nothing and just saying that I’m bad at it.
Ah… I’m glad I get to see idols here but yeah, I do hate school after all…
Hiiro: School is a fun place. It’s sad if you come to hate it just because your test results were bad.
Tests are something like aggregations of data. Isn’t it okay not to worry about numbers like that?
Aira: A mediocrity like me WILL worry.
Hiiro: Really? Then you should study hard in order to get good marks.
Aira: Agh… you’re touching my sore spot…
Even I know that much. I’m worried because I CAN’T do it!
…What about you, Hiro-kun? Second years also had tests, right?
Hiiro: Ah. We just got back our test papers today.
Aira: …WOAH, a perfect score for everything?! What’s this… You sure you didn’t cheat?
Hiiro: I didn’t. I just had to memorise the portions covered in class and enter them accordingly on paper. It was simple ♪
Aira: “Simple”, huh? This is why geniuses are…~
(But he “memorised”? He approached the tests in a way that’s most like him, huh.)
(Massively different from me who tried to escape reality by cleaning my room and organising my idol merch right before the tests…)
(...I keep procrastinating and making things harder for me.)
(It seems like the same questions from this test will appear for the periodic exam so maybe I should review the questions so that I don’t forget them���?)
...So like I said earlier, is it okay if I show you around tomorrow? I wanted to go to the library to study.
Hiiro: Why? Isn’t the library a place where you read books, like the Book Room at Seisoukan?
Aira: Ah, that place is the best when it comes to studying. You can focus since it’s quiet.
(...I’ve never studied at the library myself, but I have seen people study there sometimes so… It should be fine, right?)
—And...
Aira: Why did you follow me here, Hiro-kun?
Hiiro: Since the school tour has been cancelled, I have nothing to do.
You told me about the library but I’ve never actually used it. So I thought I’d use this as an opportunity to understand this place.
Aira: Ah, whatever. You’re free to decide how to spend your time, but don’t get in the way of my studies, ‘kay?
(Let’s forget about Hiro-kun and focus on studying… Focus…)
...
(...I wonder what kind of books Hiro-kun will read? We’ve never talked about it so I can’t really guess.)
(Hm~ It’s not about them being easy but I feel like picture books would suit him. Oh, and encyclopaedias about edible plants)
(Are books like that available in this library?)
(...Wait, I’m getting thrown off track. Focus on studying! Focus!)
Time: One hour later
Aira: …
(...Ah~ So the grammar was wrong here.)
(I feel like I’ve gotten the knack of it. Fufu, with this, victory’s mine…♪)
(...Hm? I can feel someone’s gaze on me…)
WOAH, that scared me. When did Hiro-kun sit down opposite me?
Hiiro: …
Aira: Why the silence? No, explaining by waving your hands around won’t help me understand.
You’re taking my notebook and writing something on it… “Aira is the one who told me not to get in his way.”
Aira: Yeah, but… Talking by writing is a hassle so it’s okay… You can speak.
Hiiro: Thank you, that’s a huge help. I can convey my feelings better by mouth than through writing, you see.
You said you were bad at studying but it’s admirable how you are tackling it so earnestly.
I deeply respect the part of you that is such a hard worker, Aira.
Aira: Yeah, yeah…Thanks… If it’s just about working hard, anyone can do it.
But if you can’t get results, then it's meaningless no matter how much time you spend on it. It’s nothing but a waste of time.
Hiiro: The rate of growth is different for every person. If there are trees that grow more than a metre a day, there are also trees that take several years in order to establish their roots.
But if you continue to care for them without giving up, they will grow for sure. People are the same… Hard work will never betray you.
Aira: (I know that it’s impossible for a dropout like me to not take time.)
(But I can’t wait till the buds start sprouting. Ah~ How I wish I could say “It was simple” like Hiro-kun said…)
I’m beat so it’s time for a break~ Maybe I should go buy something sweet.
Hiiro: Something sweet?
Aira: Yeah. They say that sweet stuff's good for when you’re tired.
Hiiro: Why?
Aira: Dunno… It’s something like a common belief.
Hiiro: Umu. Let me join you so that I can confirm.
Aira: Huh~? Isn’t Hiro-kun following me around like a baby chick?
Hiiro: Umu. It’s because Aira knows a lot of things that I don’t. I can’t get tired of being together with you.
Aira: Hm~... Well, it’s not like I really mind.
(Hiro-kun really is strange. He can study but the rest is all yikes… To the point that he can’t do anything without me.)
(I’m just showing off in front of Hiro-kun’s lack of common sense though.)
(But sometimes–yeah, ju~st sometimes, he’ll say something nice.)
(You can’t get tired of being together… I guess even I feel the same…♪)

Sakuma Rei Idol Story (!!): Coffin Dilemma
Rei: Mm...
...
(tossing in his sleep)
...Sigh.
(A few days later)
Aira: Hm~ Hm~ Hmhmhmhm~ Ehehe~ Precious box that fits perfectly in my hands~ I never thought I’d get to buy that store’s limited edition cheesecake. My timing was always off, huh. Today’s my lucky day!
I’m gonna go back to my room, make some yummy tea…then bask in the bliss while savoring this cheesecake! I’m baack~ Uwaaaaa?! W-what on earth?!here’s a coffin in my room?! Um, what? What the heck?! This is super scary! Aww~...I was so happy before…Now I feel cursed…
…Mm. What should I do about this? I looked around, but there’s nothing particularly weird about it. No matter how I look at it, it’s just a normal coffin, huh. No, I mean, a normal coffin *is* unusual. Okay…!
Nothing will change if I just stare at it, so even though I’m crazy scared, I’m gonna look inside…! It could just be someone playing a bad pra–
Rei: ...
Aira: ...
Eichi: I'm back.
Aira: Cry...sob...sniff...
Eichi: Um. Why are you crying Shiratori-kun? Did something happen?
Aira: Sniff…T-Tenshouin-senpai…Sob…S-Sakuma-senpai…Sakuma-senpai is…He’s deaaaaad!
Eichi: By Sakuma-senpai, you mean that Sakuma-kun? You must be mistaken. I don’t think Sakuma-kun, who looks like he wouldn’t die even if my weak self tried to kill him, is dead.
Aira: It’s true! I saw it with my own eyes. That peaceful face in the coffin over there is...! Sob...
Eichi: …Is that how it is. I wonder why the coffin I’m used to seeing at the academy is in this room.
Rei: …Hm? It has been quite noisy for some time now. I would appreciate some quiet…
Aira: Aaaaaaah?! A zombie?! Please pass on, Sakuma-senpai~!
Eichi: Have you calmed down, Shiratori-kun?
Aira: Yes…I never would have thought that he was sleeping in that coffin…I’m sorry for making such a fuss.
Eichi: Good grief. No wonder you misunderstood. Sakuma-kun, I wish you realized how strange and uncommon your habits are.
Rei: Goodness me. It would appear that I caused Shiratori-kun quite the misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize for causing you such a fright.
Eichi: Anyways, haven’t you been sleeping in a bed since you came to the dorm? Why were you sleeping in a coffin again?
Rei: Yes, about that…Recently, I have been having difficulty falling asleep. I have been feeling uneasy in the mornings as well.
Eichi: You’ve had a hard time falling asleep?
Rei: That is correct. Even I have been doing my utmost to resist sleeping in a coffin in our shared space, you know? I cannot bring my coffin to film sets and work sites, so I have been endeavoring to become acclimated to sleeping in a bed every day.
Yet no matter where I go, it’s always bed, bed, bed…When it comes to bedding, it’s always beds. This constant feeling of freedom has caused my stress to rapidly accumulate. I craved that nostalgic sensation of being bound as if gently and tightly embraced…Sob sob sob…
Aira: Sakuma-senpai…I feel bad for you…
Eichi: Don’t fall for it, Shiratori-kun. Don’t you feel bad for messing with an innocent junior, Sakuma-kun?
Rei: Eh, what do you mean, Tenshouin-kun?
Eichi: There’s no use playing innocent. It won’t work on me.
Eichi: Moreover, it’s only natural that all you see are beds wherever you go. If you plan to make a living as an idol, you had best get used to sleeping in a bed. How did this coffin even get here? I recall it being in the light music club room at school.
Rei: Indeed. When the agency staff saw my haggard self, they graciously retrieved it for me. They told me to at least have a short rest.
Eichi: Good grief. You even troubled the agency staff…Jeez…Anyways, were you able to get some rest? The dorm is a shared space, so I would appreciate it if you didn’t leave any more troublesome things here. Could you please put this back where it goes immediately?
Rei: How blunt. Could you not bear to show me even a shred of sympathy?
Eichi: If this coffin is here the next time I come back to this room, I intend to remove it by any means necessary.
Rei: What a demonic man!
Koga: “--So that is what happened."
"The demonic Tenshouin-kun bade me return my coffin to the light music room, so I will return it with this letter. From, Sakuma Rei”...? Don’t return this thing when the club room just opened up, you vampire bastard!

A Carefree Relationship (Tatsumi Idol Story)
Author: Suika
Characters: Tatsumi, Koga
"Truly, Koga-san is such a kindhearted person."
Season: Summer
Location: Season Avenue
Tatsumi: (The job I was here for ended earlier than scheduled.)
(I could go straight back to Seisoukan, but since I've come all the way here, it might be nice to take a little detour.)
(Hm? Isn't that...)
Koga: What, Leon? You started barkin' all of a sudden...
Tatsumi: Koga-san, and Leon-san, too. What a coincidence to meet here.
Koga: Wooah?! Kazehaya-senpai! When did you...?!
Tatsumi: I apologize. I didn't mean to startle you.
Koga: Nah, don't apologize... I was bein' careless.
Apparently, Leon noticed you before I did, Kazehaya-senpai.
Tatsumi: Hmm... Koga-san, you were distracted by this store, right?
...I see. You were looking at a silver jewelry store.
Koga: Yeah. Wasn't here last time I came, so I was thinkin' it might be a new shop.
Tatsumi: You have a number of these types of accesories, so that must be why it drew your attention.
Koga: What, 's that a bad thing?
Tatsumi: Oh, not at all. It's certainly something I'm unfamiliar with, but it must be something that you like, Koga-san.
God does not want us to look down upon other people's tastes and preferences based solely on our own values.
So, was there anything that caught your eye?
Koga: Nah, I just took a quick peek at the storefront. Haven't really looked closely yet.
...It's just that this store doesn't allow pets in.
Tatsumi: Pets... So, because you were with Leon-san, all you could do was to check the storefront...?
Koga: If that's what the store decided, can't do anythin' 'bout it. I can't let my self-indulgence force Leon to break the rules.
Tatsumi: (Hmm, there is the option to have Leon-san wait at the storefront and for him to enter the store by himself...)
(...No, it would be foolish of me to suggest it. Koga-san doesn't seem to have the faintest intention of doing so.)
Koga: Don't worry 'bout it, Leon. I'll just come back another time.
Tatsumi: ...If that's the case, Koga-san, I'll wait here with Leon-san.
That way, you can look around the store, and Leon-san won't be left alone.
Koga: You sure? The sun's still harsh, and I don't wanna make you go along with my self-indulgence, Kazehaya-senpai.
Tatsumi: ...There is shade under the eaves, so don't worry.
This is also God's guidance. Surely, the reason I happened to pass by here was to help you, Koga-san.
So please, don't hesitate to browse around the store.
Koga: But, I mean... Hey, Leon! Why are you going to Kazehaya-senpai?!
Tatsumi: ...Fufu, it looks like Leon-san feels the same way as I do ♪
Koga: ...Even Leon's on Kazehaya-senpai's side. Alright, alright. I'll just take a look around and I'll be right back, got it?
Tatsumi: He's gone, Leon-san.
(For Koga-san, Leon-san is so irreplaceable that he can put his own desires aside.)
(And it's not just Leon-san, but he was also concerned about my physical condition...)
Truly, Koga-san is such a kindhearted person.
...Fufu ♪ That tickles, Leon-san... He must also be a very important presence to you.
(...Some accessories can be seen even from here. This one seems to be decorated with skeletons and chains.)
(I've seen things like these several times in Koga-san's personal belongings...)
(Sure enough, I still don't understand the appeal of this kind of thing.)
(...But, if it's something Koga-san likes, then...)
(I'm sure there's something charming about them that I haven't noticed yet.)
Oh? You're barking all of a sudden... Is there something wrong, Leon-san?
...Is this an accessory inspired by playing cards?
What a strange thing. I never thought I'd be able to feel the presence of the ALKALOID members in a place like this ♪
(If I wear this, I may be able to feel like I am always with them.)
(Perhaps, accessories are worn as a means to support our own hearts...)
Koga: Yo. Sorry to keep you waitin'.
Tatsumi: ...You didn't keep us waiting at all. Rather, I think you may have returned too soon, Koga-san.
Koga: Right when I came in, I found somethin' that made me go "this's the one!" and ended up buyin' just that and leavin' ♪
Tatsumi: I see, it seems that you were blessed with a good encounter ♪ By the way, can you tell me what you bought?
Koga: Sure. Here, look at it.
Tatsumi: Hmm, a ring decorated with a bat. A very fitting choice for you.
Koga: Heheh, you think so too, huh, Kazehaya-senpai? This ring's truly worthy of magnificent guys like me ♪
Tatsumi: Yes. I think it suits you well, Koga-san.
Koga: Of course ♪
...But, well, now I owe you one.
Tatsumi: Please don't worry about it. I was with Leon-san, so I enjoyed the waiting time.
Koga: Maybe so, but that still ain't enough for me.
Tatsumi: (You're a very thoughtful person. Really, you don't have to worry about it.)
(However, I'm sure that Koga-san will never be satisfied if he continues to be in my debt.)
Koga: I wish I had somethin' to give back to you...
Tatsumi: Then... Could you guide me around a jewelry store sometime?
Koga: Aah? Why would you wanna go to a jewelry store, Kazehaya-senpai?
Didn't I tell you before that you don't have to worry 'bout me? You don't need to go outta your way to suit my interests.
Tatsumi: No, I don't mean to accommodate Koga-san. Rather, this is my own self-indulgence.
While I was waiting for you, I was looking around the store and became a little interested in silver jewelry.
So, I was wondering if Koga-san, being knowledgeable about such accessories, could tell me more about them...
Tatsumi: Can't you...?
Koga: I mean, it's not like I can't, but...
Tatsumi: Oh, of course. Then, I'd like to go to a store where Leon-san, Koga-san, and I can all go together ♪
Koga: ...If Leon wants to go with Kazehaya-senpai, then I guess I have no choice~
Next time, I'll show you 'round my favorite store, Kazehaya-senpai!
Don't run away 'cause you're too surprised! Prepare yourself ♪
Tatsumi: Yes, I'm looking forward to the day we can all go out.

The Thrill That Emerges: Episode 1
Characters: Leo, Mika, Shu
Season: Winter
Mika: Sorry I made ya wait, Anzu-chan.
Ya weren't waitin' long at all? That's good, then.
Ah, ya brough me a drink? Thanks♪
So, what did ya wanna discuss? New work?
Nnah? It's Oshisan's turn t' to a feature live!?
I see~! I finally get to see Oshisan's solo live. I'm so happy, I've been lookin' forward to it fer ages♪
Hm? ...Ya want me t' help ya come up with an idea?
Come t' think of it, when we were talkin' about the special costume, didn't Anzu-chan come t' ask me what Oshisan's costume would look like.
...Maybe this time Anzu-chan could think up a couple of stage plans and Oshisan can pick between 'em.
.........
Nnah~...But if I say selfish stuff like that it might cause trouble fer Anzu-chan.
Can't we let Oshisan make the feature live from scratch?
When it came t' the special costume. we didn't have enough time and budget, so Anzu-chan and I thought up the ideas, and Oshisan finished it?
Of course, it was real beautiful too.
I got emotional when I saw the ideas we came up with were put into Oshisan's hands, and turned out to be even more amazin' than we imagined.
But... That's why I wanted t' see a solo live that Oshisan created from start to finish all by himself.
...Anzu-chan? Do what I say?
This time we got a lotta time... And Anzu-chan also wants t' see a solo live made by Oshisan from scratch?
Then, yer hearin' out my selfishness?
I'm so happy Anzu-chan said that! Thank ya kindly...♪
Ah, 'course. If ya get in trouble I'll help, so ask me anythin', kay?
Even though we got more time than before, I think we're askin' a lot from Oshisan this time.
I think it'll be tough, but we'll leave it to Oshisan♪
Shu: Hello, girl? The information that you sent about the feature live has come through just fine.
But... Is this everything?
The special costume has been attached, but it seems there's no information to see regarding the idea.
On the contrary, the scale of the lives performed by Valkyrie in the past and the stages that could be reproduced with the expected budget were summarized.
Hm? As opposed to the special costume, with the feature live we have more time.
However, instead of proceeding like last time, I wish to discuss with you the solo live I want to perform.
I understand your train of thought. In other words, you're saying it would be better this time if I were to make the stage from scratch as I please.
Fortunately, I have no urgent work or plans for a group exhibit. It seems I can use my time for the feature live to my heart's content.
...Though even without being told, there are limits to the time and budget, that much I understand.
Ha. As I continue my career in fine arts, those two things will always follow.
...However, creating great art requires appropriate compensation.
Knowing everything, you wanted to see a feature live created by Shu Itsuki, did you not?
In that case, I will do to just that.
Let's have a detailed meeting this weekend once I return to Japan. Until then I'll collect some ideas.
...Hm? Is there something else?
Aah. I'm also aware of the pamphlet photography. I'll think of a situation for that too.
Well then, I'll get to work.
...What is it? If you're busy then spit it out.
"Please let me learn a lot this time"?
Hmph. I'm telling you I have no intention of teaching you.
If you want to learn, then watch and learn, but don't get in my way.
Yes. Alright, I'm hanging up.
(A feature live, hm. Although there are many restrictions, a solo live is valuable.)
(Also, this time she said she would accommodate my request to some extent. I can't afford to miss this opportunity.)
Kakaka, I'll start devising ideas right away.
Leo: Wahaha☆ Shu looks happy~!
Shu: Gyaa!?
Leo: Ooh! When was the last time I saw Shu surprised like that?
Ah, it's been too long since I've been this inspired! Wait a sec while I write this down!
Shu: Tsukinaga! When did you sneak in!
Or rather, if you're going to be here, don't yell! It's incredibly childish to surprise someone and enjoy their reaction!
Leo: Ah~ When I first came here, you often got angry like that! Yep, the melody is close to nostalgia...♪
Shu: You don't listen, as usual...
Whatever. At any rate, I suppose you came here again without a cause.
Leo: I do have a cause~? I came to get motivation from Shu! And now you've motivated me so I'm satisfied!
Shu: If you're done then go home. I want to concentrate on work.
Leo: Is that what you were talking about on the phone earlier, a live or something? Were you talking to Anzu~?
Shu: Not just any live, a feature live.
Leo: Hm~? Have I heard that somewhere?
Shu: You probably have. I can't pinpoint when, but your turn is yet to come.
...No, in your case, it's likely you're just forgetting.
Put simply, it's my solo live.
Leo: It's not Michael and Shu's performance, but just Shu's~!
How nice! I'm getting really inspired now!
Shu: I don't feel bad about having expectations, I'm just pursuing my own art as usual.
Leo: Yeah, I think that's a good thing. It's interesting to see the things Shu creates.
The things Shu creates have started changing this past year, I'm looking forward to seeing what the current Shu is going to do for his own live!
Shu: That's natural. Just like you, I've also received various influences in this foreign country.
My art is improving and my expression is expanding. This feature live is a great opportunity to make use of.
Leo: Yup. I'm rooting for you~
Well, it's probably harder for Anzu, who has to go through with consulting Shu. There are times when Shu can be really fickle about a lot of things.
Shu: It's unacceptable for the art I create to be even a little disorderly. I'm a very particular artist.
(...In any case, in order to go through with the plan, I need to communicate with that girl.)
(Even if it's for consolation, perhaps it's better to do what you can.)

Adonis FS2- Let my voice reach for you Chapter One
It’ll take me time to come up with an answer… I’m sorry Anzu, you even made time for me and I left you hanging.
Cast: Adonis, Souma
Author: Suika
Season: Winter
Location: Class 3-B
Proofed by: ketsuinoyaiba
Adonis: Kanzaki, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t this what they call the “boar-deer-butterfly” combo?
Souma: Aah, Adonis-dono, it seems you’ve bested me once and for all. To turn the tides in your favour, why, only someone as wonderful as you could pull something like that off.
Adonis: It’s not like that, I didn’t think I’d get a pull so good.
And anyways, Kanzaki, weren’t you just one card off from victory? You were going for the “three light combo,” right?
Souma: As always, right you are! Fufu, Adonis-dono, looks like you’ve completely memorised all the “rules” in Hanafuda, that makes me happy—completely, wholly, happy ♪.
Adonis: In Kanzaki’s words, “isn’t it best to memorise the pictures?” So, I took your advice, and it’s the reason I managed to recall the “boar-deer-butterfly” combo in the first place.
Souma: Hmm? In the blink of an eye, Adonis-dono, your technique improved so much so that you beat me just like that. I am glad that I had the chance to teach you.
In any case, I am just as happy to be able to play Hanafuda with my friend. Thank you for learning how to play; I truly appreciate it.
Adonis: I should be the one saying thank you.
Kanzaki, you taught me tirelessly, with patience, never once failing in your perseverance. Even when I couldn’t even manage to remember the basics, you never once gave up on me. That’s the only reason I am able to play Hanafuda like this now.
It wasn’t just my own ability that got me this win. I was only able to win because you were there, Kanzaki. So this is all to say… This is a victory for both me and you, a victory for the both of us.
Souma: So, it is our victory, together? What was that word in English again… Oh right, you could call it a “win-win” situation?!
Adonis: Yes. We are a win-win.
Souma: Fufu, Adonis-dono, you think the same too, hm ♪.
Adonis: So how about we—if it’s ok with you—we have another round?
Souma: Of course!—Is what I want to say, but I cannot in good conscience say that, for I am a little worried for Anzu-dono.
Did she not wish to discuss your “feature live” today, Adonis-dono?
Adonis: She asked me to talk to her after school today, but she seems really busy. I can’t even go talk to her now because I don’t know where she is. I’m frustrated.
I hope she hasn’t gotten herself caught in trouble, but just to be sure… Let’s contact her on “HoldHands.”
Souma: I do not think it necessary, Adonis-dono. Speak of the devil and she doth appear.
Adonis: Hmm? Anzu? It’s no worries, I don’t mind waiting, Kanzaki and I were playing Hanafuda together, see?
Souma: It’s true, you do not have to apologise, Anzu-dono. Being able to talk to Adonis-dono was a fun way to pass the time.
Adonis: So don’t worry about us, because it seems like you need to worry about yourself. Take a deep breath in, let’s get you relaxed first.
You okay now? Hmm? You really want to talk to me about my “feature live,” huh? Alright, if you say so.
This is… Oh, it’s those pictures we took for the pamphlet the other day. I guess we should check it over.
Souma: Oh? Could I see too?
I’m unsure if I could be of any use, but if it is for the sake of Adonis-dono’s “feature live,” I wish to give you all the assistance you may need.
There seems to be a lot of options… This one, you’re practising with “Andeddo?” Oh! And this one, it's you running for the track and field club.
Adonis: This one was taken backstage at a live house event.
I was taken aback when Hakaze-senpai suddenly pointed a camera at my face.
I didn’t really understand what an “off-shot” was supposed to be, so I’m grateful to Oogami and my seniors in UNDEAD for their help. And, of course, I’m grateful to you too, Anzu.
Could these pictures be used?
No problems? That’s good to hear.
It seems our problem is that we have too many good photos that we cannot decide on the ones we should end up using…
…Hmph.. This is hard.
When you say “off-shot,” doesn’t that imply what an idol does when they’re not busy dancing or singing on stage? I feel like all these photos match that vibe.
All these photos are taken in good quality too… I can’t decide which one to use at all.
Hmm…? So you’re saying I should just choose a concept for the pamphlet and that’ll help me narrow down which photos to use?
What do I want the pamphlet to look like in the end, anyway? …Another tough question.
Singing and dancing is all good, but this pamphlet stuff is all new to me.
It’ll take me time to come up with an answer… I’m sorry Anzu, you even made time for me and I left you hanging.
So, let’s talk a bit more. The more you get to know me, the clearer the concept may become.
Please do not hesitate. I would rather you say things bluntly than sugarcoat them.
…But is it enough to just talk?
I do think these pictures are all good…
But the fact I cannot decide on which photos I wish to use on my own pamphlet, means that I would have to take more photos, doesn’t it?
Souma: When you decide on what type of “pamphlet” you desire to create, you can choose which photos you can use to fit the theme. However, I do understand your worry.
Adonis: Aah, but I’ve run out of ideas for what other pictures I could take for my “off shot.” I wish I had better ideas…
Souma: Well, if that’s the case… How about we invite Anzu-dono to go to the beach?
Adonis: Is that it? It’s true I haven’t taken any photos by the ocean yet… So perhaps I’ll be able to get a different type of feel compared to my other photos.
Hmm…? Anzu, are you asking if me and Kanzaki already made plans to go to the beach tomorrow?
Actually, we did. Kanzaki and I were going to take a walk down the beach area that’s behind our school during our lunch break.
Souma: Every so often, I go to the beach to check up on the area so I can give Shinkai-dono a report.
In truth, I was initially going to go with Sengoku, but he had work to do, and thus I was thinking about postponing my trip.
Adonis-dono overheard my situation and offered to give me company instead ♪.
Adonis: I also enjoy the sea, and with Kanzaki by my side, I was bound to learn something new out of the experience.
So, if you don't mind, would you like to join us?
Alright, then meet us at lunch time tomorrow.
Souma: Things got a lot more exciting, didn’t they? We’ll see you tomorrow, Anzu-dono.

- IDOL STORY - Comparing the 'Sakuras'
Kohaku Oukawa Idol Story with Tsukasa and Hajime
Season: Summer
Kohaku: At last, the day has come...Bon.
Tsukasa: Yes, what a shame. If possible, I really don't want to be rough with you, Kohakun.
Kohaku: Whatcha talkin' about? Did'ya forgot the time when you worked with your friends to lock me up?
Tsukasa: That was unavoidable. However...
Depending on how the game goes, it might not be a bad idea to have you come back to me...again. But, of course, that is up to you to decide.
We may be carrying different burdens, but that doesn't change the fact that you are my little brother.
A brother protects his sibling. I will spoil you to the fullest. Fufufu...♪
Kohaku: If ya think I'm some kinda lapdog, then you are heavily mistaken.
I am a beast. I will bite the hand that tries to pet me and eat it whole. Koh-koh-koh ♪
Hajime: Oukawa-kun, Suou-kun. Hello there, I see you've already gathered.
I'm sorry you had to go out of your way because of me today.
Kohaku: Don't worry about it~. If someone asks me for advice on a good place because they want to feed their family delicious sweets, there is no way I'm sayin' "no" as a member of the "Sweets Club".
Tsukasa: Actually, we are rather honored to be called upon. I'm honored to be able to introduce you to some of my favorite Sweets ♪
Kohaku: And for the sweets we broughtーwe brought our own picks. It's a battle to see which is better; Bon's or mine.
Well, I can already tell that the sweets I chose are way better than Bon's favorites, though.
Tsukasa: You won't know which is better until you try it. That's what today's tasting is for.
Well then, let's start now. Here.
Hajime: Waah...Both of the packaging are very elaborate and nice ♪
Kohaku: Hmm... This is a really fancy box.
I can't believe ya brought western sweets, even though you used to like Japanese sweets so much.
Tsukasa: I, of course, still like Japanese sweets. But, I started giving interest in Western sweets, as well.
Anyway, in this Global era we live in, I don't think it's natural to get too caught up in the Genre of Japanese or Western sweets/confectionery.
If you keep your mind closed, you will not be able expand your knowledge.
Kohaku: Ya sound so proud about it...that you're seriously startin' to sound like a Westerner.
If you eat the Japanese sweets I brought, ya might change opinions.
Tsukasa: Fufu. I'll take those words right back at you.
I recommend the Gateau Chocolat. It's rich in flavor, with the finest Chocolate and it also has the mellow aroma of Cacao...
The Orange Peel adds a nice Accent and the aftertaste is, of course, wonderful!
Kohaku: What's with the gateau chocolat? Stop acting coquettish. It's just a chocolate cake no matter how ya look at it. [1]
I brought 'Daifuku'. Don't underestimate it as just a rice cake filled with sweet bean paste, look at it properly, got it? [2]
The politicians who run Japan bring these gifts as souvenirs, and they're not ashamed to present them anywhere.
Hajime: The black of the gateau chocolat and the white of the daifuku... I think it's just a coincidence, but they're very contrasting!
Kohaku: You're right. Looks perfectly fit to put it in black and white, huh, Bon?
Tsukasa: That is true. But of course, my Gateau Chocolat will surely win.
Kohaku: Dumbass. Of course it's my daifuku.
Alright, let's get down to business...start the tastin'! *munch, munch*...
(...What the hell. Can such a rich flavored chocolate cake exist in this world!?!?!?) [3]
(Not only is it not dry, but it's seriously like raw chocolate, but even with that...it's still firm and filling.)
(If I learn its taste like this, my definition of chocolate cake will be ruined. Even though I was originally goin' to eat it gracefully, little at a time, cuz of Bon here...)
(If I ain't careful. I might actually gobble it all up...!)
Tsukasa: (………)
(...I miscalculated. No...I underestimated that it would be a common daifuku!!!)
(The rice cake is very fine and soft like a baby's cheek, it's melting in my mouth!)
(Most surprising of all was the presence of Fruits hidden in...! Like assassins, winning over my taste buds!)
(I must admit that it is delicious...in a fair and honest way, without falsifying my own mind.)
Kohaku: (But, I really don't want to admit it... Because the moment I say that it's delicious, I've lost.)
Tsukasa: (But I can't just stay silent like this...)
Kohaku: (………)
Tsukasa: (………)
Hajime: *Munch, munch*...♪ Hmm, both are absolutely delicious~♪
Suou-kun's gateau chocolat and Oukawa-kun's daifuku. I really don't know which one's better, so I would like to eat them both with my family, is that alright with everyone?
Kohaku: O-Of course! It's not like there's a rule that forbids you to bring them both anyway.
Tsukasa: Yes, I think that would be the best choice! I'm sure Hajime-kun's family has their own preferences.
Hajime: Ehehe, I'll do that then...♪
I was subconsciously trying to narrow it down to one, wondering which one I should choose...
But I realized that having two makes it twice as much fun and more happiness. I'm glad I consulted you both.
Tsukasa: I am honored to be of assistance. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask us.
Kohaku: I know a lot of other delicious sweets.
...I guess we'll call this one a draw, huh, Bon?
Tsukasa: I guess so. Let's do a Revenge match again sometime, shall we? I'll beat you next time with my precious Sweets!
Kohaku: I wish you luck. I'll definitely beat you up next time, koh-koh-koh ♪
"Coquettish" is a flirty way of saying things.
Daifuku is a popular wagashi in Japan and is often served with green tea.
Please imagine them crying here while eating, thanks.

Sora Harukawa - Idol Story 2
Author: Yuuki Yoshino
Characters: Sora, Tsumugi
Translator: Mika Enstars
Proofers: 310mc & honeyspades
"Is that why Senpai has a gloomy color? Sora's worried, you know~?"
Season: Spring
Location: Hanging Garden
Sora: HaHa~♪ HiHi~♪ HuHu~♪ HeHe~♪ HoHo~♪
(Ehehe. There are so many beautiful colors all around here, Sora feels like he's on cloud nine! It's sorta like the Garden Space back at Yumenosaki~?)
Tsumugi: Sigh...
Sora: (Hmm? Sora can see a gloomy color coming from over there!)
(Could they be anxious~? Who could be giving off a color like this?)
HaHa~?
...Ah, Senpai! Hello!
Tsumugi: Oh, it's Sora-kun! Hello there~.
Have you come to take a stroll around the Hanging Garden? It's wonderful out today, the perfect weather to take a walk.
Sora: Yes! Sora likes it here~! ♪ Sora comes here a lot, usually before or after work!
What about Senpai? Is he taking a walk too?
Tsumugi: Not quite, I was doing paperwork,but I decided to come out here for some fresh air.
Sora: HiHi~? Is Senpai feeling okay? Senpai is always so busy—kinda like an office worker.
Producer said that Senpai's been staying at the office really late recently!
Is that why Senpai has a gloomy color? Sora's worried, you know~?
Tsumugi: Sora-kun... Really, thank you for your concern.
I don't know whether it's because the goals I give myself are too unrealistic or if it's because I'm too clumsy to do my job correctly, but I always end up finishing late at night.
If I want to get a good night's rest, I need to set a quota that I can complete on-time.
Sora: Yes! Sleep is very important! There's a sofa in the office, how about Senpai sleeps there?
Tsumugi: Ahh, I have tried sleeping there before, but it made me so restless that I immediately woke back up...
And I don't want to fall asleep on the floor and get stepped on by somebody...
Either way, I'm still an idol—at least somewhat.
I’ll feel totally undeserving of being an idol if I behave in a disorderly way in front of the other staff.
Sora: HuHu~? Senpai's an idol with his whole heart and soul, not somewhat, though~? Senpai and Shisho~ are both idols Sora admires...☆
Tsumugi: Fufu. Thank you very much. Then I’ll have to do my very best as an idol for your sake too, Sora-kun.
By the way, Sora-kun, you're here to take a walk around the Hanging Garden, right? Would it be alright if I joined you?
Sora: HeHe~♪ Senpai is most certainly welcome! But, won’t Senpai get tired out taking a stroll with me?
Tsumugi: It's not like we’ll be running all over the place, so you don't have to worry~. ♪
Besides, I've been doing nothing but desk work lately, I could use a little exercise.
Well, to be fair, the ES building does have training rooms, so it's also just a matter of actually putting them to use.
Hmm. Well, they always say there's no time like the present, so maybe I’ll head over there after work.
Sora: Huh~? So Senpai has more work to do after this, too?
Tsumugi: That I do~. Though, that being said, I have already finished all of my most important work for the time being. It should be alright to finish the rest tomorrow.
Sora: HoHo~♪ Then it’s decided! Today, Senpai will come to karaoke with Sora!
Singing at karaoke will make Senpai's stress disappear! And singing and dancing burns calories, so the lack of exercise will be solved too~!
Not long ago, Sora got to go to karaoke with everybody in the ASOBI Club!
Oh, the ASOBI Club is a group that plays different games together every day~!
It seems like some people joined for mental wellness or stress relief, but Sora joined just because it looked fun!
Sora had a bunch of fun singing and dancing~, so he wants to go to karaoke with Senpai, too!
Tsumugi: Wow~, karaoke, huh~? Fufu, that sounds wonderful~! ♪
But, I feel it might be a little lonely with just two people, so is it okay if we invite Natsume-kun to come with us?
Sora: HaHa~♪ Of course!
Tsumugi: Alright then, let me give him a call, then~
Sora: Yes, understood! Sora will go make a karaoke reservation~!
Ehehe, today really is a wonderful day...☆
