Souma's 2018 Birthday Celebration

Author: Happy Elements K.K

Characters: Souma, Subaru, Hokuto, Makoto, Adonis, Keito, Kanata, Kaoru, Kuro

"Today is the day of my birth. Just spending it with you would make me happy."

Content Warning: Contains mentions of suicide (seppuku).

Minitalk 1

Souma: Hnn, you fiend! ...Oh, it's Transfer Student-dono. I became alert when you suddenly appeared from behind me.

"You didn't draw your sword though"? That's right. ...Hmm, after all, I still give off the impression that I draw my sword easily.

The truth is, today is my birthday. Just for today, I have been trying not to draw my sword unnecessarily.

💬 Do you also train on your birthday? (1)

Souma: Indeed, it is discipline in learning "endurance". Would you like to join me, Transfer Student-dono?

As a matter of fact, Buchou-dono was training along just a while ago. Yes, indeed. Buchou-dono was holding back from taking a bath.

But now… See, can you hear the sound of the water? He said he didn't need to endure, and in less than a minute, the training was over.

💬 Do you also train on your birthday? (2)

Souma: Yes. Hasumi-dono has always told me to behave with more composure.

Since I have finally reached my birthday, I must use this opportunity to grow… What? "Impressive, impressive"?

Good grief! Transfer Student-dono, why are you patting my head? I am saying that I want to grow, and yet you treat me like a child!

💬 Are you pulling it off? (1)

Souma: Yes, for now... But when someone tells me "you mustn't draw it", I start to want to do so.

Hm? "How about taking a break from training on your birthday and spending it freely"...?

I see, that's one way to think about it... It's like scales are falling from my eyes, Transfer Student-dono! As expected from the "purodyuusaa", my esteemed lord!

💬 Are you pulling it off? (2)

Souma: No… In actuality, I pulled out my sword just now, just once.

Everything is that man's fault… Ugh, to think that he would disturb my heart even on my birthday!

Certainly, "that man" is the disgrace of the Marine Life Club. Transfer Student-dono, how could you tell just from me saying "that man"?

Minitalk 2

Souma: Transfer Student-donooo! Are you safe?! Please rest assured, now that I am here, everything will be fine!

Oh? These faces are familiar… What are you all doing here?

I heard that Transfer Student-dono was kidnapped by someone, so I hurried to help, but…?

💬 That was pretty fast. (1)

Souma: Hm? Did you put on an act to celebrate my birthday with a "surpuraisu"?

I see. So the plan was to sound the party "cracker" just as I was about to arrive…

Haha, what a bad thing. I thought it was a major incident involving Transfer Student-dono, so I ran faster than a horse to get here.

💬 That was pretty fast. (2)

Souma: Transfer Student-dono, what are you doing? Suddenly offering a piece of cloth... Mm, what do you mean by "today's protagonist"?

It's a "tradition" in this academy for the birthday guest to wear this? I had never heard of such a thing...

Goodness, even Hasumi-dono and Kiryu-dono are nodding their heads...! I see. If this is the tradition, then there is no choice but to follow it!

💬 Who told you that? (1)

Souma: It was Sengoku. He suddenly rushed into the hallway and, in a fluster, exclaimed "There's a crisis, de gozaru!" but didn't get to the crucial point...

Finally, he said "I can't do it, de gozaru~" and asked Isara-dono, who happened to be passing by, for help.

Then I found out that Transfer Student-dono had been lured away, so I left the two of them and rushed to the site at once...!

💬 Who told you that? (2)

Souma: It was Adonisu-dono. I was on my way to a "resson" when I was stopped and told, "Kanzaki, there's a crisis".

Somehow, it didn't look like a crisis at all... I had a hard time understanding, because he seemed to be the same as usual.

Upon further thought, Adonisu-dono could have resolved the matter without calling for my assistance... Have I been duped?

Minitalk 3

Souma: Chesto...!

Hmmm. Since this is my first time getting celebrated in this way, I am a little "excited".

...Wait, I had decided not to draw my sword today! Kanzaki Souma, this is the mistake of a lifetime!

💬 I think it should be fine. (1)

Souma: However, just by having a sword, I am already feared. I canot afford to give off a scarier impression...

Are you saying that you are not afraid of me, Transfer Student-dono...? And neither are Akehoshi-dono, Hidaka-dono, and even Yuuki-dono?

Fufu, it seems I have been blessed with wonderful friends... As a token of us getting closer, may I treat you all to a home-cooked meal?

💬 I think it should be fine. (2)

Souma: "That's the good thing about you, isn't it?" ...The way I wield my sword?

Hm, that is true. The sword is the soul of a warrior... Ah, I almost lost something very important.

Thank you, Transfer Student-dono, for waking me up. From now on, I must cherish my own uniqueness and strive for it diligently every day...♪

💬 You can't commit seppuku. (1)

Souma: However, I know of no other way to discipline myself than to cut open my stomach! It is of no consequence if my date of death falls on my birthday!

What do you mean they just issued a "no seppuku" decree? Ridiculous! Who on earth would come up with such a "foolish" idea—...

Hasumi-dono?! I, I-I, I'm sorry! I'll immediately apologize by cutting my stoma... Ahhhh, I'm not going to commit seppuku, so please forgive me!

💬 You can't commit seppuku. (2)

Souma: No, I did not say I would commit seppuku, but... Hm, "there are many people who would grieve if you were to do it"?

Certainly, now that you mention it... I am concerned about Kamegorou in the club room, Saigoudon, and these swords.

Thank you, Transfer Student-dono. I didn't intend to commit seppuku, but you've made me realize something very important!

Birthday Celebration: Subaru

Subaru: Zaki-san, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday...~☆

We all worked hard to prepare decorations and food for you!

Eh? "I apologize for the trouble you went for me"? No need to worry about that, birthdays are supposed to be celebrated with everyone!

Ahaha, you seem happy, and that makes me happy~♪

By the way, I heard that you're gonna treat us to your cooking soon.

I really, reaaally love the food that Zaki-san makes...☆ I'll be looking forward to it~♪

Birthday Celebration: Hokuto

Hokuto: Kanzaki, happy birthday.

I've come up with a special pun for you today, so I want you to hear it.

"Do you know what it sounds like when a pair of slippers crack?"

Mm? You're asking if slippers can crack in the first place? You're right, they're not fragile, so they won't crack.

Hm, maybe this pun doesn't work. What, you want to hear it anyway?

"...When a pair of slippers cracks, they go 'Uwaaah, baki'!" [1]

Ah, yeah. You look like you don't know what that means.

I'll come up with a funnier pun next time... So, I'd appreciate it if you could forget about that one.

Birthday Celebration: Makoto

Makoto: Kanzaki-kun, happy birthday~♪

Ah, your sash is a little crooked. Do you mind if I fix it?

...Yep, this will do. Since you're today's protagonist, you need to look the part, you know~♪

Hm? Did Transfer Student-chan tell you it's a tradition for Yumenosaki Academy students to wear this "sash"?

Yeah, seems like it. I wonder if I'll join you in wearing the same sash soon...

But it must be nice to have so many people come to celebrate with you.

What do you think, Kanzaki-kun? "This is my first time being celebrated like this, so I'm very excited"?

Then I'm glad~ It was worth organizing a surprise party ♪

Birthday Celebration: Adonis

Adonis: Kanzaki, I'm sorry about earlier.

Hm? Even if I suddenly apologize, you don't know what I'm talking about?

When you were about to leave for your lesson, I lied to you and said "There's a crisis, the transfer student has been kidnapped".

While it may have been to lure you to the birthday party, it's not good to tell lies.

That's why, I wanted to apologize right away... but Kanzaki seemed busy as today's protagonist, so my apology got delayed.

...You forgive me? Thank you.

Now I can celebrate you without any worries. Happy birthday, Kanzaki...♪

Birthday Celebration: Keito

Keito: Kanzaki, for today, I'll hold on to that sword of yours.

Hmph, you have a habit of drawing your sword every time something happens. It's dangerous, and I can't stand to watch.

Hm? "A sword is the soul of a warrior, so please don't take it away from me"?

Alright, I get it, I get it. If you promise not to draw your sword from now on, I won't confiscate it.

Hmm... I didn't come here to lecture you in the first place. It's your birthday, which only comes once a year, so enjoy it to the fullest.

Kanzaki, happy birthday...♪

Birthday Celebration: Kanata

Kanata: Puka, puka... ♪ Souma, I am sorry about before.

See, even though Souma and I were doing "discipline" for "endurance", I was the one who "gave up", right?

Because it had finally gotten warm enough to take a "bath", to be told to "endure" it is...

I have been "enduring" since "winter", and if I continue to "endure" throughout "spring", I might "truly" dry up.

So should I not apologize for being unable to meet your "own discipline"?

Souma is a "good boy", after all~ Because he is a "good boy", many people came to "celebrate" with him.

I am here to "celebrate" Souma as well. Souma, happy "birthday"~♪

Birthday Celebration: Kaoru

Kaoru: Souma-kun, happy bir—

What the—?! Hold on! Don't just draw your sword out of nowhere! What're you gonna do if I actually get hurt~?

Huh? You're telling me to get out of your sight? Ahaha, you still dislike me that much, huh~

Even though I came here because Kanata-kun told me "it is Souma's birthday today".

Well, I'm sure you won't be happy to hear me congratulate you, so I guess I'll be leaving now.

Eh, you'll spare me today only because Kanata-kun will feel sorry for me?

Even though you hate my guts, you're attached to Kanata-kun, huh.

Well, whatever. Since I came all the way here, at least accept these words. Souma-kun, happy birthday~♪

Birthday Celebration: Kuro

Kuro: Yo, Kanzaki. You enjoyin' your birthday party?

Haha, guess I don't need to ask. You've been frolicking around like a kid for a while now.

Hm? C'mon, ain't no need to get embarrassed 'bout it.

Everyone gets excited when it's their birthday, yeah?

Rather, since we prepared all this, makin' it obvious that you're happy makes us happy, too.

Kanzaki, happy birthday. Have a good time till the end...♪

The word for slippers (上履き) is read "uwabaki", and "baki" is an onomatopeia for snapping/cracking.

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.

Footprints of Happiness / Episode 2

Author: Yuumasu

Characters: Tori, Mitsuru, Shinobu, Aira

"I became an idol because I admired Eichi-sama. Even if it's just a single person, I hope I can become someone's inspiration too...♪"

← Previous ✧ Directory

Season: Autumn Location: Connecting Corridor

Tori: Hey, Anzu, how are everyone else's candids like?

Can you show me the pictures you've taken so far? Thanks.

...Huh, everyone has their own unique look. It's impressive how their individuality comes through so strongly.

I was only thinking about the performance, but I guess I need to consider the type of pictures I want to present too. Ugh~

...Huh? You're saying I don't need to overthink it?

I see. When I'm worried, it shows on my face, and it won't look like a candid. Yeah, I'll try to be natural.

Mitsuru: ...He~ey!

Tori: Ah, Mitsuru came running.

What's up? You need something from us?

Mitsuru: Nah! I don't have any business here, but since I spotted you two, I came over this way!

I'm so lucky to meet Anzu-neechan! What're you doing with Hime-chan?

...A photoshoot for a pamphlet? That's why you're wearing an expensive camera around your neck? Makes sense!

I want my picture taken too! Hime-chan, let's pose side by side! Peace, peace! ☆

Tori: Peace, peace...♪

I mean, hey! It's not that kind of picture.

It's for my solo live—a "Feature Live".

Mitsuru: Solo? Then it'd be bad for me to interrupt you, bye-bye!

Tori: Ah, yeah... Bye-bye...?

...He's gone. In the past, he would've said something like "Let's dash together, daze! ☆" and dragged me away.

He's a second-year now. I guess he's matured in his own way.

Well, I'm still the more mature one, though~♪

Location: Yumenosaki Academy Grower Barn

Tori: ...Oh, look. There's Shinobu.

Shinobu: Hey there! Tori-kun and Anzu-dono, what a coincidence to meet you here of all places, de gozaru!

Tori: Same to you. Why are you in the rabbit hutch? Is it like some kind of hidden village?

Shinobu: Waah, I didn't expect that kind of idea! A hidden village... Fufun, my ninja blood is stirring, de gozaru ♪

At any rate, as you can see, this is the animal enclosure. While interacting with the animals, I'm doing a bit of cleaning too.

Tori: Hmm... Ah, I just thought of a good idea.

Isn't the sight of the cute me taking care of cute animals the cutest thing ever?

You were thinking the same thing, Anzu? We're on the same wavelength~

Shinobu, let me clean up too.

Shinobu: Understood. I've already taken care of the parrots, so I shall ask you to take care of the chickens.

Tori: Okay~ ...Anzu, what's up? "There's a manual there, we should skim through it"?

No need! Just change the food and water and sweep with a broom, right? Piece of cake ♪

...Umyah?!

A chicken's on my back! And this one's pecking at my leg!

Help me~! Shinobu~! Anzu~!

Shinobu: Ohh, what a passionate reception, de gozaru...

Well then, I shall take that side, and you take care of the rabbits.

Tori: Y-Yeah... The rabbit hutch is almost cleaned out. What do I have to do?

...Brushing? Do I just brush their fur with this?

Okay, I'll try. Hehe, you're squinting your eyes all comfortable...

You should be honored to have me brush your hair...♪

Ten minutes later.

Shinobu: Thanks to Tori-kun, the animal shelter has become sparkling clean, de gozaru! I'm terribly thankful, I shall shower you with my gratitude ♪

Tori: But didn't you do most of the work, Shinobu? All I did was deal with the rabbits.

But, if I was of even just a little help, I'm glad. Anzu's happy with the good photos too.

Hm? I hear cheering... Something's going on nearby. Let's go, Anzu.

Location: Yumenosaki Academy Outdoor Stage

Tori: This crowd... Ah, it's for an "S3". Now that I think about it, I vaguely recall the proposal.

I've been reading them all. They come in so frequently, it's hard to remember each one.

What is it, Anzu? "I see a familiar face"... Ah, it's true.

Hey, Shiratori.

Aira: Oh, hello~ Did you come to see the DreFes too, Himemiya-senpai?

Tori: No, Anzu and I are...

(Huh? Anzu left.)

(Oh well. She wouldn't leave me behind, surely she'll come back eventually.)

Aira: What about Anzu-san?

Tori: It's nothing. I don't know anything about this DreFes, is there a specific idol you're interested in?

Aira: Yes! There's actually a unit I've been secretly keeping an eye on.

They're not well-known yet, but they consist of only third-years.

Tori: Huh... Now that you mention it, it's full of first-year students here.

(Everyone's eyes are shining, waiting eagerly for the live to start.)

(...It's just like how I used to be, looking up to Eichi-sama's singing and dancing on stage.)

......

Ah, Anzu, where were you? You're already hard to track, so don't just disappear suddenly, okay?

...A cyalume? You want me to evaluate them?

Sure, but I won't just wave it around so easily. I'm not lenient, y'know.

After a while, at the end of the DreFes.

Tori: Are the results announced yet... W-Well, it's not like I'm looking forward to it or anything, alright?

I'm just curious to see if the unit I waved my cyalume for won... Just a little...

Hey, can I tell you something? I was thinking about my solo live while watching the DreFes.

I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I want to make it a performance that becomes a goal for anyone who sees it.

Kids like the ones I met at Yumenosaki Academy and ES... I want the idols that I used to ignore to like me.

But I don't know what exactly to do... Will you think about it with me?

...Ehehe. Thanks. I knew you'd say that, Anzu.

I became an idol because I admired Eichi-sama. Even if it's just a single person, I hope I can become someone's inspiration too...♪

Footprints of Happiness / Episode 1

Author: Yuumasu

Characters: Tori, Yuzuru, Eichi, Wataru, Mao

"Of course, it's for my fans. I have to make the solo live a success so that they'll feel happy to have supported me."

Directory ✧ Next →

Season: Autumn Location: Lounge of ES Live Stage

Tori: Uuu, I'm so tired~ Yuzuru, get me a drink!

Yuzuru: I will prepare some cold tea for you right away.

...Oh my, it's Anzu-san.

Eichi: Fufu. What a nice surprise to find you waiting for us backstage.

Wataru: Truly. As a show of gratitude, I shall also give you a surprise... Ta-da! ☆

Tori: Hey, don't put a pigeon on my head~!

Yuzuru: I shall take care of the pigeon.

Bocchama, and Anzu-san as well, have some tea.

Tori: Anzu, did you come to see our live? Hey, hey, how was my performance?

Ehehe, thank you for praising me ♪ I really gave it my all because it was a fine live.

...Uh, did you want to talk to me? Sure, I'm all ears ♪

"Feature Live"? Yeah, I heard of it. It's a solo mini live by an ES idol, right?

Oh, I get it. It's my turn next, huh?

Uwaah, I guessed right! I'm so clever today...♪

"Do you have any ideas for a solo live performance you'd like to try?" Hmm... I can't think of anything right away.

But I'll come up with something. It's a solo show, after all.

I want to make it a special live that brings happiness to the people who always support me ♪

Eichi: Tori's solo live, huh? If possible, I'd like to watch it from the audience too. Anzu-chan, is there a way to make it happen?

Yuzuru: ...Indeed, I am in agreeance with Anzu-san. Eichi-sama's presence is quite strong, so it wouldn't be easy to keep him hidden. He might be best seated in the staff section.

Eichi: I see, that's a shame. I was hoping to blend in with Tori's fans and wave my cyalume around.

Wataru: Fufufu. It's too early to give up, Eichi. I am disguise, and disguise is myself!

This Hibiki Wataru will transform you into someone else with special makeup...☆

Eichi: Thank you. So, Tori, as a fan of yours, I'll be looking forward to it.

Tori: Yup. I'll do my best for you, Eichi-sama.

Location: Student Council Room

A few days later, after school.

Mao: —Ahaha. It was such a coincidence to meet in the hallway, huh~

Come on, don't be so reserved, Anzu. Tori will be here soon too—Hm?

Tori: .........

Mao: O~i, Tori. Isn't that the student council president's seat?

Tori: Hnn, I know that...

Mao: ...That's it? Doesn't look like you're gonna leave.

What's with the frown, is something bothering you?

Tori: Remember the other day I was bragging about doing a solo live? I can't come up with any good ideas for it.

I've brainstormed a few concepts, but they need all the fine members. If it's just me, it's gonna be a bit dull.

I was hoping to create something amazing and surprise Anzu by today... Hm?

Anzu?! You scared me... Since when have you been here? I didn't notice you at all.

Mao: Anzu's always had little presence~ She still manages to surprise me even now.

Tori: What is it, Anzu? "Thank you for thinking so earnestly"?

Of course, it's for my fans. I have to make the solo live a success so that they'll feel happy to have supported me.

...that's what I believe, but I can't find any concrete ideas. My motivation isn't getting me anywhere.

A solo show... What's my selling point?

I know it's my nobility and cuteness, but these two alone aren't enough.

Mao: You're so greedy... Just kidding ♪

Finding your own strengths is tough~ Fan preferences might differ in terms of what they wanna promote. Maybe there's no single right answer?

What is it, Anzu? ..."There's still time to think before the "Feature Live", but do you want to work on the pamphlet you were planning for today?"

Tori: Yeah, got it. New Prez, I'm heading out now.

Mao: Sure. Take care.

Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night / Episode 6

Author: Yuumasu

Characters: Tsumugi, Mayoi, Shinobu, Tomoya, Wataru

"Let's enjoy next year's summer together...♪"

← Previous ✧ Directory

Season: Summer Location: Seisoukan Courtyard

After the "Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night" ends.

Tsumugi: ...The cleanup and trash sorting are done, so we're all set now. Thank you all for your hard work!

I'd like to celebrate our success, but time is still an issue. Shall we reschedule for another day?

Mayoi: Yes. Everyone, thank you so much for coming today.

I alone would surely be unable to come up with a proper plan, and it would have ended up stuck in a deadlock.

Truly... Truly, thank you so very much!

Shinobu: Mayoi-dono~! Mayoi-dono~!

Mayoi: That voice belongs to... Chief...!

Shinobu: I found you, Mayoi-dono! I hesitated a bit due to the late hour, but I couldn't wait to say this...

Thank you for organizing the test of courage, de gozaru! Thanks to Mayoi-dono and everyone here, I made some great memories!

Above all, I am so very happy about your growth, Mayoi-dono!

Mayoi: My growth...?

Shinobu: Indeed! I was deeply moved by the way you relied on others and worked hard even though you're not good with people.

Actually, when I heard you were going to do a test of courage, I was about to offer my help, but...

I decided that this was another challenge for Mayoi-dono, and endured it patiently, de gozaru.

You've really matured so well~ As the leader of the Ninja Association, I'm proud of you, nihihi ☆

Mayoi: Chief...! Uuu... *Sniffle* Thank you so much...

Tsumugi: Fufu. Even from my perspective, Ayase-kun's hard work was obvious. It seems like everyone was amazed by the realistic shadow play using a diorama...

The elusive octopus costume appearing from shadows and ceilings was also well-received ♪

Tomoya: Octopus costume...? I don't remember there being anything like that.

Mayoi: I did see it, but... Wasn't that Tsumugi-san?

Tsumugi: Eh, I also saw a person in a costume here, though?

From the shade of the tree over there, it was sending me a signal to come in. I thought for sure it was Ayase-kun.

Mayoi: If it's not me, Tsumugi-san, or Mashiro-san, then who...?

???: Kukuku...

Tomoya: ...Eek?! There it is, the octopus costume!

Tsumugi: That characteristic laugh... Is that you, Rei-kun?

Wataru: Fufufu, incorrect ☆ The individual mimicking Rei's voice while dressed as an octopus-like alien is none other than—

Mayoi: Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hibiki-san?!

Wataru: Amazing! Yes, this is your Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hibiki Wataru...☆

To everyone who was at the "Dead End Café", hearty congratulations on a job well done~

I left work a bit early and missed out on joining a fascinating project. It's truly saddening, sob, sob.

However, I couldn't really remain silent, so I partook in a manner akin to a hidden character.

Fufufu. I'm delighted to see you all taken aback by the monster character...☆

Mayoi: Uuu... Even though the test of courage should've ended, I still felt a chill down my spine...

Mayoi: Nonetheless... Chief. Summer has come to an end, but I was able to enjoy the summer events as well.

From now on, I will continue to grow for Chief's sake and for the people who treat someone like me kindly. Therefore—

Let's enjoy next year's summer together...♪

Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night / Episode 5

Author: Yuumasu

Characters: Tsumugi, Hiyori, Mitsuru, Adonis, Mika, Rinne, Ritsu, Aira, Tori, Hinata, Mayoi, Tomoya

"It feels nice to get such a positive response. All the effort making so many was worth it...♪"

← Previous ✧ Directory ✧ Next →

Season: Summer Location: Seisoukan Courtyard

A few days later. On the day of the "Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night".

Tsumugi: ...Yes, hello, Ayase-kun. How are your preparations coming along?

Hm, hm. The final inspection is done, so we're good to go.

It looks like all the participants are here, so let's get started. Thank you for taking the role of the scarer.

Switch on the microphone, and...

Tsumugi: "Good evening, everyone. This is Aoba Tsumugi."

"Thank you very much for joining us on this "Seisoukan☆Test of Courage Night". The rules of the event have been announced in advance, but I'd like to explain them again."

"Later, we'll assign you to teams of three by drawing lots, and each team will visit the marked locations on the map."

"The team that successfully reaches this courtyard without dropping out will win a fantastic prize!"

"Even if you retire, you'll still get a participation prize, so make sure to come back here."

"By the way, we'll begin with the lowest number. So let's start dividing the teams."

After a few minutes.

Hiyori: Oh, look at that! I'm "number one". It's perfect for me to shine brightly at the pinnacle, don't you think?

Who are the chosen ones among the others? I hope once my finger stops, the result will be favorable ♪

Mitsuru: It's me! I'm the most energetic one at the academy, so I'm "number one"! Yahoo ☆

Adonis: I'm "number one", too. Senpai, Tenma, I'll be in your care.

Aoba-senpai handed me a flashlight. It seems there's one for the three of us. Who should carry it?

Hiyori: I'll refrain. Carrying things like that is a servant's duty, and I'd rather not hold anything heavier than chopsticks.

Mitsuru: I really want it, but I'll hold back. It would be fun to dash, but if I accidentally break it, we'll be in trouble, daze~

Adonis: Sigh, well, you've done a good job holding back. In that case, I'll take it.

...Aoba-senpai is waving, it's our signal to go.

Hiyori: Oh, how exciting! Now, both of you, lead the way to my destination...☆

Location: Seisoukan Hallway (1F)

A while later, with the second team.

Mika: Nghaa... I have night blindness, so I can't see anythin' in this darkness...

Rinne: Oi, oi, you okay? Why'd you join the test of courage if you got such a constitution?

Ritsu: That's because I'm the roommate who invited him. Mikarin's really kind, you know.

Mika: Ehehe. I'm happy we're on th' same team ♪ Even though Amagi-senpai bein' with us is a bit...

For now, 'm grateful for my night blindness~ 'm glad I don't haveta be conscious of Amagi-senpai...

Rinne: If you can't see me, I'll get closer, 'kay? C'mon, c'mon ♪

Mika: Uuu. Don't be mean~

Ritsu: Rinrin, don't bully Mikarin.

And why are you even participating in a test of courage? Even kids might mock you for it, you know?

Rinne: Isn't it a waste not to dive into interestin' things? Sure, up 'til now, every scheme's been at a child's level, but—

With a bit of creativity, can't I deliver the ultimate thrill?

Mika: Creativity... What are you setting up, bending over the edge? Did you get Ayase-kun's permission?

Rinne: I'm not doin' anything wrong, aight? 'Cause I'm CRAFTMONSTER, y'know?

Isn't it courteous for monsters to attack without warnin'? Gyahaha ☆

Ritsu: Uwah, that's a disgrace to CRAFTMONSTER. I'm not involved, okay?

Location: Seisoukan Common Room

After a while, with the fifth team.

Aira: ...Eek?!

Tori: What's wrong, Shiratori?

Aira: I felt like something ran across the table just now...!

Tori: Something like what? Are you sure you're not imagining things?

Aira: I-I guess so...

Hinata: Yeah. Or maybe the organizers staged it.

So far, we're just being made to walk in the dark, so it's not that spooky.

Aira: Eeh... It's plenty spooky, though...?

Hinata: Oh, really? Since it's a test of courage, don't you wanna scream more like "Gyaaah!" from the depths of your stomach?

Tori: Aren't we supposed to be careful about that? If we yell too loudly, it will bother the people who are resting in their rooms.

Hinata: That was a figure of speech~ But I was expecting something that scary... Oh, I know.

This is just a made-up story of mine, but Seisoukan was said to have been inhabited by the Slit-mouthed Idol a long time ago.

Aira: Slit-mouthed Idol...?

Hinata: Oh, yes. Did you know that their mouth is supposedly torn apart like thiiis?

They'd sneak up on idols returning home late from work, tap them on the shoulder without a sound, and ask...

"Do you want to hear my beautiful voice?" ♪

Aira & Tori: Gyaaaaah?!

Hinata: Ahaha. Even though it's an improvised made-up story, I didn't expect such a big reaction.

Tori: N-no, that's not what startled us...

Aira: For a moment, there was something alien-like across the hallway...!

Hinata: Eh, alien?

Location: Seisoukan Hallway (1F)

Same time, at the Seisoukan hallway.

Mayoi: ...The voice just now was Aira-san's.

Tomoya: It seemed to come from the common room, right? I thought we didn't set anything up there.

Maybe someone added something on their own, like Amagi-senpai did... Should I go check it out?

Mayoi: ...No. Just contact Tsumugi-san, and we'll stay here.

The next team should be arriving soon.

Tomoya: Understood. The set-up you created has been really well received.

Even HiMERU-senpai, who looks calm and collected, seemed to have a slight shoulder twitch.

Mayoi: Nn, Tsumugi-san replied... He wants one of us to go check on them since he's busy.

Tomoya: Okay, I'll go then. Scare the next team on my behalf too ♪

Mayoi: Understood, I'm sorry to trouble you.

Mayoi: ...Fufu. I'm just manipulating the diorama's lighting according to the timing.

It's nice to get such a good response. It was worth making so many...♪

Mayoi: ...Huh? What is that strange costume standing there?

It's waving at me. That means it's someone involved... Could it be Tsumugi-san?

Were you busy because you wanted to participate in the scaring too?

I bet that's it. Fufu, I'll wave back ♪
