Mikejima Madara FS2 4*: On a Wintery Street Corner in Paris
Madara: PLEASE PARDON THE INTRUSIOOON ☆
Shu: GEH—? Mi—Mikejima… …!? What in the world are you doing here!?
Season: Winter
Author: Yuumasu
Characters: Mikejima Madara, Itsuki Shu
Shu: Nnngh… … Yawn~...
(Because of the consecutive all-nighters I’ve pulled—or perhaps due to the immense relief I felt at having delivered the final products—I ended up sleeping soundly until well past noon.
Umu. Fortunately, there’s plenty of lead time before the next job is due. I will need to prioritise a proper rest in order to achieve the perfect results.
Perhaps, I could take a stroll and clear my head—)
Madara: PLEASE PARDON THE INTRUSIOOON ☆
Shu: GEH—? Mi—Mikejima… …!? What in the world are you doing here!?
Hmph! Cease this tomfoolery of yours, and get yourself gone this instant! The last thing I’d want is for a barbarian like you to be rampaging around my atelier!
Madara: Hahaha! What a nostalgic exchange of words!
I recall having a similar conversation with you back in the day when we were both in Yumenosaki Academy! It was about the Museum (1), if I remember correctly—
Shu: NON! I have no intention of reminiscing about Yumenosaki with you!
You came here for a reason, did you not? State your business quickly, and in as few words as possible.
Madara: My business, huh~? What if I told you it's “Nothing at all”?
Shu: (glares) … … … …
Madara: Sorry, sorry! I was just kidding, alright? Please stop with the death glare already!
Actually, I’m here because Leo-san asked me for a favour.
Shu: Hmm? Because of Tsukinaga… …?
Madara: Yes. Apparently, he’s been treating the pen case that Shu-san gave him like a precious treasure, however—
He was so focused on caring for the case, that he left all his writing stuff behind in this atelier.
Shu: So that’s the reason he ended up taking just the pen case home with him? He’s quite the amazing fellow for doing that, honestly.
And what about you? Did you really come all this way to Paris just for Tsukinaga’s forgotten items?
Madara: Nope. It just so happened I had some business in Europe, so I just dropped by.
Shu: “Just dropped by”—you say? Even though “Europe” can be expressed as a single word, it’s still not a place you can travel about hither and yon on a whim and fancy.
Anyway, Tsukinaga’s belongings aren’t here anymore. The other day, I happened to send some parcels to Seisoukan, so I slipped his forgotten items in as well. That’s where they are now.
For heaven’s sake. Anyone and everyone seems to be carelessly leaving their things behind lately. They’re travelling abroad after all; I’d really wish they’d be more careful!
Madara: I agree. The language and culture are different here, so one shouldn’t assume that things will be the same as back home in Japan. It’s better to be more careful in the end.
However, I believe the reason people always leave their stuff behind in Shu’s atelier is because they feel so much at home here, you knowww ♪
Shu: Hmph. I’m not happy to hear that at all. This place isn’t a playground, you know.
It looks like you've made a wasted trip. Will you be leaving Paris right away?
Madara: Nope. I’ve got some time before my flight, so I’ll relax and enjoy myself till then.
… … Hmmm? Why are you all dressed up for?
Are you heading out? If so, I’d absolutely love to tag along ☆
Shu: Hmph. Forget it. Being with you, Mikejima, doesn’t exactly spell rest and relaxation for me.
Madara: Haha! Oh, come on, don’t say that! As the saying goes, “No road is long in good company”, and two people will have more fun together than when they’re on their own, you knowww ♪
<An hour later.>
Shu: Umu. It seems there’s a flea market held here during the weekends.
Madara: Oooh. What a classic Parisian scene~
You may already know this, but the origins of the flea market started right here in Paris.
It is said that the name came from the fact that ‘antiques could be found in such sheer numbers, it was likened to a gathering of fleas’.
Shu: Urk. Please spare me your detailed description. I already knew about the name’s origins from long ago, and simply imagining it as you have described it makes my back itch.
Besides, there are other theories about the origin of the name.
Personally, I much prefer the idea that the name came about because of "the thrill which comes from the time and effort spent hunting for hidden treasures here, which are as elusive as fleas.”
Madara: The thrill of a long hunt, huh? Indeed, the accomplishment you feel when you locate a hidden treasure is reeeally something special!
Madara: … … Oh, what's this? It seems I have found something good right away!
Yes, yes! This piece of pottery will be perfect to display some plants ☆
Shu: Humu. Is gardening a hobby of yours?
Madara: No, I wouldn’t exactlyyy call it a hobby, but—
I’m not sure who started it, but my dorm room is full~ of plants. I myself add in new ones occasionally too.
Madara: [Excuse me, Shopkeeper! I’m interested in this piece of pottery here—]
Shu: (... … Hoho. His French seems pretty good, from all that time spent abroad.
The best part of the flea market is the haggling over the price. It’s a battle of wits on how skilfully one can negotiate… …)
<Ten minutes later.>
Madara: HEYYYY! I’m baaack, Shu-san!
I’m sooo sorry to have kept you waiting. Things got reeeally lively with the shopkeeper, and our conversation got carried away!
Shu: It’s alright, I don’t mind. I’m glad you got what seems to be a good deal.
It’s really none of my business what happens to you, but witnessing someone I know get ripped off doesn’t sit right with me.
Madara: Ufufu. Have you been worried about me, Shu-san? You’re sooo kind… … ♪
Shu: Oh, for heaven’s sake. Stop jumping to weird conclusions. I simply did not wish to have an unpleasant experience.
Madara: Hahaha! Even so, it made me reeeally happy ♪
And since I managed to score a good deal just now, I’ll give you a treat as a thank you for waiting!
Please recommend a local specialty, Shu-san!
Shu: Hmmm… … In that case, how about “Marron Chaud”—or roasted chestnuts?
It’s a winter specialty that’s sold all over town at this time of the year.
Madara: Hoho! That sounds great. It seems like it’ll warm the body up too!
There’s the scent of something reeeally fragrant coming from over there. Let’s go grab some right now… … ☆

Niki Shiina - Meal Ticket of Justice
Writer: Yuumasu
Season: Winter
(Location: CosPro Office)
Niki: ‘Su~p, Staff-san. It’s Shiina Niki from Crazy:B.
Is the deputy director here? He asked me to come see him.
Hmm, he’s in the middle of a meeting with a client? It looks like it’ll be over in ten-ish minutes?
In that case, can I wait here? I’ll be in the corner so I won’t get in the way.
It’s a~lright. He asked me to come when I have time, and I don’t have any plans today.
By the way, you wouldn’t have heard from the deputy director about what kind of business he was looking at, wouldya?
Is that so~. …… Nah, nah, I’ll just ask him directly☆
Nahaha, thanks for your concern. Please keep up the good work, Staff-san~☆
(What the heck’s goin’ on if even the staff don’t know about it either~……?
I’m not happy about being the only one called here, it’s hard to comprehend.
Seriously, I have no idea~. …… Did someone from Crazy:B do something wrong?
But if it’s that then the leader would be called……
As if. I feel like calling in Rinne-kun wouldn’t do anything.
Does that mean I’m acting as a substitute for the leader? Even if that were the case, I think HiMERU-kun and Kohaku-chan are more suitable than me.
Hm~m. If possible, it’d be great if he’d avoid talking about difficult topics~……)
Ibara: —Thank you for waiting, Shiina-shi.
Niki: Deputy director! Thanks for your hard work at the meeting.
Ibara: I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me cut right to the chase.
Please take this.
Niki: A flyer for a newly opened restaurant—I don’t think it’s something like that. Uuummmm……
“Dance Workshop”?
Ibara: Yes, this is a workshop for ES idols.
Shiina-shi, your choreography sometimes appears sloppy compared to the other members of Crazy:B.
It’s free, so please consider this a prime opportunity and take part in it!
Niki: Uwaai. I-I’ll do my best……
Ibara: Contrary to your words, you look blatantly disgusted.
Niki: Hmm. To be honest, I’m not into the idea.
A dance workshop, huh… Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
Ibara: Haah…… Well, I expected you to say that.
Not to worry. I’ve prepared a proper reward for you.
Niki: Reward……?
Ibara: Indeed. If you participate in the workshop, you’ll be provided with this “meal ticket that can be used at restaurants nationwide.”
Niki: A m-meal ticket……! I want it, gimme!
Ibara: Ah ah, I won’t give it to you for free♪
Shiina-shi, you promise to attend the workshop, right?
Niki: I promise! I promise on my meal ticket, I’ll do my best……☆
(Location: Dance Room)
(A few days later. The day of the workshop.)
Niki: Meal ticket~♪ Free food~♪ Funfufufu~n……♪
Chiaki: Hm? Shiina will also be participating?
Niki: Oh, that’s Morisawa-ku~n, isn't it!
I didn’t think I knew anyone here, so I’m relieved.
Chiaki: Me too. I always thought these workshops were mainly attended by new idols.
Niki: Same here. I was a little worried that I’d attract attention.
But if Morisawa-kun is here then it’s like a weight off my shoulders! It’s reassuring to be with you!
Chiaki: Right! Let’s encourage each other and work hard together……☆
Niki: Alright! …… Ah, it looks like the dance teacher’s here now.
Now’s the time~. I’ll do my best!
(Two hours later. After the workshop, self-study time)
Niki: That’s ho~rrible, Morisawa-kun!
I thought you were about on par with me, but you’re not that bad at all!
Chiaki: Sorry. It's clear you’re also taking part in order to improve your skills……
Niki: Now that I think about it, in √AtoZ you learned the dance early on and taught it to everyone, right?
I wouldn’t have misunderstood if I remembered properly, but I forgot about it ‘til just now.
Uuu. It’s my own fault, but I feel like I’ve been left behind by the person I’d said “Let’s reach the goal together” to at a marathon race……
Chiaki: Shiina……
I’m really sorry. As an apology, could I join you in your self-study?
Niki: Eh? No, it’s my bad for not checking.
Chiaki: No. That won’t give me peace of mind.
In the process of teaching you, I’ll be able to learn about myself. Please let me help you!
(One hour later)
Niki: 1, 2, 3~♪ …… Turn here☆
Didya see that, Morisawa-kun? I did it exactly as you taught me!
Chiaki: Great, Shiina. You’re definitely making progress!
Niki: Nahaha. It’s thanks to you. Thanks for being patient with me……☆
I mean. Sorry for asking you to stick here with me ‘til the last minute before we have to leave even though you’re not getting anything in return.
Chiaki: Don’t sweat it. A hero is someone who helps someone without hesitation if they’re in trouble. Deserting you is against my sense of justice.
Besides, I did get something in return. I was able to support your growth. This sense of accomplishment is a joy beyond compare……☆
Niki: Justice, huh~…… Well then, I’ll also follow my own justice.
Chiaki: Shiina’s justice?
Niki: Fufufu. I have a meal ticket right here! To thank you for your guidance, I’ll treat you to dinner♪
Eating after a lotta dancing is so much fun! Life is fun. This is my justice……☆
Chiaki: I see. That’s your way of thinking.
Alright, tonight let’s celebrate your growth and enjoy a meal!
Niki: Nahaha, I’m drooling just thinking about what to eat♪
C’mon c’mon, let’s go before we get too hungry……☆

Yuuta Aoi - Budding Season
Author: Yuumasu
Characters: Yuuta, Rinne, HiMERU, Kohaku
Translator: Mika Enstars
"(I-Ignore him, ignore him…! If I react, I lose!)"
[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]
Season: Winter
Location: CosPro Office (Conference Area)
Yuuta: (Yaaay, I got some super-spicy rice crackers from someone at the agency!)
(Thanks for the mea~l. *chew chew*)
(Ah~, delicious! This tingling sensation that lingers on the tongue is just the best…☆)
(Since we’ve advertised ourselves as “the older brother who likes sweet food” and “the younger brother who likes spicy food” to emphasize our twin characters…)
(Those around us can tell us apart, and I don’t have any problem getting spicy food these days~.)
(I get told things like “It was a gift from a business partner, so I saved it for you, Yuuta-san” and “I saw this during a business trip, so I bought it for you”…)
(I’m so glad I’ve been using my love for spicy food as my appeal…☆)
(I’ll have to remember to mention that in my in my interview with the idol magazine today. ♪)
(…I have a lot of solo work tomorrow, too. I’ve gotten a sudden increase in individual appearances lately…)
(I guess it’s because half of 2wink, that sold themselves for their identical looks, suddenly got an image change?)
(Though my blood does boil when trashy gossip mags will write about it and call it a “rebellious phase that came late” or an “agency policy” or whatever.)
(But I try to tell myself it’s better than not being talked about at all.)
Yuuta: (…But it seriously pisses me off though when it happens, though~.)
(Anyhow. The attention I’ll be getting for this is temporary, so I need to make sure I don’t get too cocky.)
(Right now, it’s just bonus time. I’m only being featured out of amusement, because they find it unusual and unheard of—)
(I need to properly give thought on how to proceed myself as 2wink, and as Aoi Yuuta…)
(I know things won’t be the same as they used to… How can I convey who I am now…?)
(……)
(Nope, I don’t have any ideas…)
(Maybe I’ll read idol magazines and ponder it.)
Rinne: Heya all~, Crazy:B minus Niki has arrived! ♪
Yuuta: (Ugh. Someone troublesome just came in!)
(I’ll hide my face behind this magazine to not be noticed…)
Rinne: Ooh, I see a little cutie! Yu~ta ♪
Yuuta: (Ignore him, ignore him…)
Rinne: That’s the magazine with Crazy:B’s gravure!
Are ya takin’ notice to me? I’m embarrassed~, Gyahaha! ☆
Yuuta: (I-Ignore him, ignore him…! If I react, I lose!)
HiMERU: —Amagi, quit it.
Kohaku: What he said. Can’t ya see you’re botherin’ Yuuta-han?
Rinne: It’s fine, it’s fiiine! Yuta and I are buddies!
Don’t ignore me, Yuta! Come have a nice chat with your big bro, ‘kay?
Yuuta: You are not my big bro!
Rinne: Theeere we go. Finally lookin’ at me, eh?
You eatin’ those spicy rice crackers again? Won’t ya upset yer stomach eatin’ too much of that stuff?
Yuuta: None of your business.
Rinne: Hmm… Are ya growin’ your hair out more?
Yuuta: It’s less that I’m growing it out, and just that I’m not cutting it.
I’m free to do whatever I want with my hair, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of work, aren’t I?
HiMERU: HiMERU agrees. Growing your hair long means more options for styling it.
Kohaku: Is that the reason why Niki-han’s got long hair too?
Rinne: In that guy’s case, growin’ it out would do nothin’ but just have it be longer, wouldn’t it?
He had his hair pulled back when we first met too, just shorter than it is now.
Kohaku: Is that so? …Yuuta-han, can I ask ya a stupid question that’s been on my mind for a while?
Is that hairstyle some sorta show of respect to Madara-han?
Yuuta: Huh, Mikejima-senpai?
Kohaku: Y’know, the half-up sorta look. It’s similar to how Madara-han wears his hair, y’know?
So I figured it maybe was a matter of respect. Doesn’t seem to be the case though, judgin’ from your reaction.
Yuuta: Ahaha… Yeah, it’s just a coincidence. I figured it’d be a little boring if I just grew it out.
It’d get in my face when I move around, so I just tied the sides of my hair up.
It’s a surprise to me that it was taken as a sign of respect for Mikejima-senpai. If I’m gonna grow my hair out, I gotta learn how to style it, huh…
Rinne: How ’bout we Crazy:B try givin’ producin’ yer hairstyle a try, Yuta? We’ll cook ya up a good meal!
Yuuta: Thank you very much~, if you’d be so kind, I’d appreciate it, then~.
Rinne: Ah, I thought ya would never agree to that in your life.
Yuuta: Ahaha. ♪ Seems like the magazine reporter is here to see me, so you’ll have to excuse me first.
HiMERU: Yes. I apologize for our Amagi.
Rinne: The hell you mean by that?
See ya later then, Yuta.
Kohaku: Do your best at work!
Yuuta: (Produce my hairstyle, huuuh?… Crazy:B’s changed, too. They weren’t that type of character when they first debuted.)
(…Guess the same goes for me. Back when I first debuted… No, even since when we’d perform on the streets, all I did was imitate Aniki.)
(As the two-in-one twin idols, 2wink.)
(Because, that was the strongest weapon we had.)
Yuuta: (…How will I change? How will I grow and who will I become?)
(……)
(I don’t know, so I’ll just do what I’m able to do now. One by one, as Aoi Yuuta would.)
(If I build myself up carefully like this, then one day—)
(I believe I’ll reach the future I desire.)

Mikejima Madara Feature Scout 2 Ch 2: Fates and Feast
Madara: Let’s enjoy the festival together, just like we did that day. What do you say, Anzu-san?
Scenario Writer: Yuumasu
Season: Winter
Characters: Mikejima Madara. Otogari Adonis, Oogami Koga, Harukawa Sora, Akehoshi Subaru, Sakasaki Natsume, Anzu
< After a short while. Carrying out duties as the “One-Day PR General”... >
Madara: [TO ALL THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE TODAYYY, A MOST DELIGHTFUL MORNING TO YOUUUUU ☆ I AM MIKEJIMA MADARA FROM MaM!
Have you received the special Mikejima Madara’ stamp rally cards yet? They’re being handed out at the entrance!
To collect all the stamps, you’ll need to explore every nook and corner of the venue. By the time the card is filled with stamps, you’ll have covered the entirrre venue!
IF YOU’RE NOT SURE ON WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO, DO FEEL FREE TO MAKE USE OF IT ☆
One can only truly appreciate the famous sights of the world by being there in person, but you can experience the culinary cultures of the world right here at this venue!
In other words, you can learn more about the world through food!
The world is an incredibly vast place, full of discoveries yet to be made! I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE WORLD WHILE INDULGING IN DELICIOUS DELIGHTS ☆]
Madara: (Turn off the mike now, and… …
This place has been bustling since the opening hour―it looks like the efforts we put into promoting the event are paying off.
This is splendid. Yes, this is how festivals should be, after all ♪
I’m supposed to meet with Anzu-san at the Japanese food fair around noon.
Until then, I’ll continue to soak in the sights and the sounds of the venue, and continue livening up the atmosphere here in my role as the “One-Day PR General”―
… … Oh? I see some familiar faces over thereee―)
ADONIS-SAN, KOGA-SAN! YOOHOOOOOOO ☆
Koga: Pipe down~. Why are you yellin’ at us so loudly for?
Adonis: Good morning, Mikejima-senpai―
Oops―No. It would be better to address you as the PR General here, I suppose?
Madara: Nope! Feel free to address me as you usually do! Thank you both for coming! I appreciate it so much!
Koga: Well, you’ve been yappin’ non-stop about the event at Seisoukan and hypin’ it up like crazy, haven’t you?
It piqued my curiosity enough to check it out, and I found out there’re chefs from this guy’s home country attending too.
Adonis: That’s why Oogami and I are here, to try some authentic cuisine from my homeland―
―and it’s all thanks to your enthusiastic promotion of the event. Thank you, Mikejima-senpai.
Madara: You’re very welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy the taste of your homeland too ☆
Sora: HaHa~ ♪ Good morning, Giant-san! ♪
Madara: OH! It’s Sora-san and Subaru-san.
Subaru: Yes! Since it’s an invitation from our roommate, Mamu-senpai, how could we not show up, right?
It would’ve been perfect if Hibiki-senpai could’ve come along too, but he seems to have something going on. However, in his place―
Subaru: TADA~AH! Natsume has joined our party~ ☆
Natsume: SeriousLY? I’m not here to replace Wataru-nii-san at aLL. I’m only here because I didn’t want to let Baru-kun monopolise Sora for the entire dAY.
Subaru: Haha! That's what you say, but deep down, you totally wanted to hang out with me, didn’t you? Awww, youuu~ ♪
Natsume: UgH. Stop tickling mE, and stop twisting things to fit your narratiVE.
Natsume: Oh yES. Wataru-nii-san will be attending tomorrOW, together with the other members of “fine”. Isn’t that grEAT, Mikejima-senpai?
Madara: Yes, indeed. I’m very grateful to everyone who showed interest!
Sora: Yes! Sora is so thankful to learn about such a fun event!
HiHi~ ♪ What should Sora eat first, Sora is wondering~?
Natsume: UfufU. You may order anything you liKE. I’ll cover the bill for yOU, okAY?
Sora: YAAAY~ ♪ Thank you so much, Shisho~!
Subaru: YAAAY~ ♪ Thanks so much, Natsume!
Natsume: Hold oN. I wasn’t talking to yOU, Baru-kun.
Madara: Haha, the young ones sure are energetic, aren’t theyyy―
Oh myyy? There’s another familiar face over there! HELLOOOOOO ☆
< A few hours later. At the Japanese food fair. >
Madara: (Where’s Anzu-san now… … Hmmm?)
OIIII~I, ANZU-SAN!
Whoops, did I startle you? My apologies for speaking up from behind you so suddenly!
What are you doing, lurking behind this food stall? … … Hmmm? “I’m not lurking at all”―you say?
Hmm, hmm. You’re helping out at the food stalls that are short-staffed because of the sudden increase in visitors―
―and that’s why you’re peeling potatoes now?
I don’t think there’s any obligation for you to help them, Anzu-san. But then again, you’re the type of person who can’t ever turn a blind eye to someone in need, huh… …
Alright, count me in! I’ll pitch in and lend a hand too ☆
Why are you holding me back nowww? … … You’re being considerate because you think I’ve been working hard as the PR General earlier?
Madara: HAHAHA! There’s no need to worry about me at aaall! My stamina is as boundless as the sea, you knowww!
I made the decision to take charge of this event after all, so I want to see it through to the very end!
… … You’re saying the taiyaki (1) stall owner over there seems like he’s having a hard time managing the store alone?
Roger wilco! (2) Leave it to me! I’ve got plenty of experience with aaall kinds of festival stalls!
HOLD ON, MR TAIYAKI MAN! MAMA IS COMING TO HELP YOUUUU ☆
< A while later… …>
Madara: Thank you for waiting, Anzu-san! The taiyaki stand has been saved!
More specifically, we were able to increase the turnover after the stall owner and I divided the work among ourselves. We managed to clear the long line that had formed before I arrived in just thirty minutes―
And now that stall owner’s acquaintance has rushed over to help, I’m relieved of my duties now! All’s well that ends well! ☆
And as a token of appreciation for my assistance, the stall owner has given me some taiyaki too.
Let’s eat them together, while they’re still warm. Here we gooo~ ♪
Madara: Sweet treats savoured after performing good deeds always taste especially delicious, don't they? They're on a whole other level.
… … Anzu-san. Thank you for appointing me to be the event’s PR General.
That was Tsumugi-san’s idea―you say? Hahaha, well, that much is true but―
You were the one who set things in motion, right? If you hadn’t decided to liven up the event, Anzu-san, I wouldn’t even be here.
Madara: … … That’s right. It’s just like when you were peeling potatoes behind the food stalls. There wasn’t any obligation for you to help out at all.
Even if ES were to be labelled as “a saboteur of other companies’ projects”, that wouldn’t tarnish your reputation as a Producer in the slightest.
Madara: Er, I know it’s kind of a downer for me to be asking this, but―why did you decide to take action here?
“Because I want to see people smile”―you say? And―“Because I know how frustrating it is to see the projects one has worked so hard on fail.”
Madara: Yes. It’s incredibly painful when one’s efforts don’t pay off, isn’t it?
You’re sooo kind, Anzu-san. Mama is sooo glad you grew up to be such a good child ♪
You’re not my Mama―you say? HAHAHA! It’s sooo cute the way you always react to what I say so smartly! ☆
Because you wanted to see people smile, huh… … You’re right. A smile is like the sunshine that brightens up the world.
I, too, am happy when I see you smile, Anzu-san.
Well, now that we’re done eating, let’s get moving.
When don’t we take a stroll together before heading back to ES? I’d like to buy some souvenirs for Tsumugi-san.
It’d be such a shame to head back so soon, wouldn’t it?
… … This reminds you of what we did last summer, huh? Now that you’ve mentioned it, we went to the “Rensei Festival” together, didn’t we?
We wore matching masks and joined in the Bon Odori dance. It’s such a pity that we can’t dance today… …
Let’s enjoy the festival together, just like we did that day. What do you say, Anzu-san?
The End
Chapter 1
Translator’s notes:
1) Taiyaki (the street food Madara is holding in his animation) is a fish-shaped waffle filled with red bean paste or other fillings.
2) Roger Wilco: army slang for “I hear you and will comply”.
3) I split Madara's animated emotion into two because it's a whopping 36 seconds long.
4) It's not proofed, so if there's any feedback, please DM me.

Tomoya: Hello, Hasumi-senpai. Could I sit next to you?
Keito: Mashiro. You can sit wherever you'd like.
Keito: But this is the final rehearsal before the performance. Since only associated parties and guests are allowed to watch, there's no need to sit close together, right?
Tomoya: That's true. But you know, Narukami-senpai told me I should bring a kerchief, because their performance would be a tear-jerker.
Tomoya: And I thought, it'd be super embarrassing to be seen crying by a random person that happened to be sitting near me, right? Which made me think that if someone was going to see me cry, it'd be better if it was someone I knew.
Tomoya: But even if it's Hasumi-senpai, it still feels embarrassing. Ehehe.
Keito: Hm. The more reputed a play is for being a 'tear-jerker', the more conscious of crying you feel, don't you think?
Tomoya: Ah, that's true. If you feel self-conscious, you'd probably be less prone to crying.
Tomoya: Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing this sad, but heartwarming story. Hokuto-senpai praised your script too.
Keito: Hidaka did?
Tomoya: Yeah. This performance is in a completely different style than the ones you've written before. He was impressed, saying, "I'm surprised he can handle a wide range of genres, from serious to comedic."
Tomoya: I heard that they were careful with adapting the script so as not to kill its charm. If I didn't have work, I would've loved to take part too!
Keito: … I also had some work to do, so I just handed the script over to them. The members of Dramatica are all quirky, and are a bit of a handful sometimes.
Keito: But because of the passion they put into their performances, I have faith in them. Next time, I hope to participate as an actor too.
Keito: Hm, an announcement from the stage… Looks as though the show will be delayed for around ten minutes.
Tomoya: This is a rehearsal after all. I just hope it's not serious. Maybe they aren't done checking equipment.
Tomoya: I guess I could read the pamphlet I got at the entrance to kill time.
Keito: That reminds me, I haven't read it yet either. I'll have a look as well.
Tomoya: … Ah. Like usual, there's a feature article on one of the members of Dramatica. This time, it's Hasumi-senpai right?
Keito: Yes. They interviewed me after the script had been finished. That was a while ago.
Tomoya: Isn't it hard to take pictures for these sorts of interviews? Even if they tell you to act natural, you can't help but feel self-conscious because of the camera.
Tomoya: Even when I try to pose casually, I end up looking like an industry professional. I always feel concerned about that.
Keito: You just have to get used to it through experience, I suppose.
Keito: Whether to sit or stand, where you should look, how you position your hands… No matter how much you overthink it, there are limits to variation.
Keito: The thing that readers are most concerned with is the interview, the photos merely act as decoration.
Tomoya: The photos are decoration… Understood. I guess I won't worry too much, since the main attraction is my answers to the interview questions.
Tomoya: Thanks for the advice Hasumi-senpai.
Keito: It isn't a big deal. I just stated the obvious.
Tomoya: Even if it's 'obvious', it still helped me realize it. Thanks to you, I'll be less afraid of making mistakes.
Tomoya: As the leader of Ra*bits, I feel like I have to be all put-together. I'm immature, so I constantly worry about the littlest things.
Tomoya: Hasumi-senpai, I bet those sorts of little things don't faze you at all…
Keito: No. I have plenty of worries myself.
Keito: I have a meeting regarding the 'Feature Live' after this play. We haven't decided on the kind of performance, what to put on the pamphlet, or anything like that.
Keito: AKATSUKI as a Unit has a distinct aesthetic, so I've been consciously trying to distance myself from that to avoid similarity but… Besides that, we're working with a completely blank slate.
Tomoya: Hm… But even if you gave Anzu-san that much information to work with, I'm sure she'd be able to whip up something nice.
Keito: Hm. But this is an opportunity to respond to all of the fans who would show up to support me at the solo live, so it'd only be logical for me to take the lead when promoting it.
Keito: … The buzzer signaling that the show is opening just sounded, so let's end the conversation here.
Keito: Now, let's direct our attention to the show.
[3 Hours Later, in the Terrace seating area of Cafe COCHI]
Keito: (That performance… After I submitted the script, I didn't show up to any of the rehearsals that followed.)
Keito: (Perhaps that was why it was so good. It was refreshing to see such an unconstrained interpretation.)
Keito: (When I write, even though I try to imagine how it would look on the stage, It always ends up surpassing my expectations, which is what makes writing feel worthwhile.)
Keito: (What kind of story should I tell next—)
Keito: Hm…. What was that sound... ?
Keito: … So the culprit was you, Anzu. Why did you just take a picture?
Keito: "I liked your mellow looking gaze" you say? So you wanted to capture me in my natural state for the Feature Live pamphlet?
Keito: If you want to take a picture, it's usually good manners to ask first… That's the extent I'll nitpick though. If that was your intent, I don’t actually take issue with it.
Keito: How long are you going to stand there? Sit down. I want you to show me if you got any good shots.
Souma: …… dono! Hasumi-dono!
Keito: ? That voice…

wait so pay of why tsukasa joined biblion was bcs tori was in the manga club and since biblion was also a reading circle he'd be able to compete w him
#the other part is that he wanted to join a circle unrelated to food because tori teased him abt being in kaori#thank u yuumasu unexpected crumbs#enstars#mar's midnight rambles#torikasa
