Lesson 22: The Truth


Page 002


A week has passed since Hibiki was dismissed from 961 Pro...

Miki and I are at our limits covering for what Hibiki left behind...

Why'd Hibiki-chan leave? Did you know something like this would happen?
We knew of nothing beforehand.
Miki didn't know anything about it~

We have to meet with President Kuroi often to discuss what will happen with Project Fairy...


Page 003


...I never would've thought that kid would get involved and not a 765 Pro idol.

Oui. I won't say that you shouldn't utilize blatant traps like that since, the plan is to cause the most damage in the least amount of time.
Trap...!?

Speaking of Takagi-dono, I had heard that he was injured and is currently under medical care...


Page 004


There were some results of your actions though.
At the least, that day's schedule for the idols was thrown into chaos.
Hehe... That grandson of Takagi ended up like this because he was too energetic. I hope this was a good lesson for him.

Well, wasn't stealing Hoshii Miki from them the smartest thing done this time?

Oui. As long as I have this picture
That Hoshii Miki cannot go back to 765 Pro.

A picture and Hoshii Miki...?


Page 005


Now then, about how to deal with Ganaha Hibiki...

President Kuroi...
Just what have you set in motion for 765 Pro...!?

Nii~chan~!
Congrats on being released!

Thanks, but you should be quiet when in the hospital, okay?
Okay~

Is your head injury okay now...?


Page 006


Yeah. Seems that a piece of the lighting equipment hit into me and, just in case, I had to stay in the hospital.
It still hurts a bit though...

Are you sure? You can still be our Producer?

*nod!*

But the doctor said to rest for a few more days.
Alright, but I'm gonna try my hardest to get back to work as soon as I can.

Oh yeah, we were gonna sneak into your room and give you a secret live show, but Piyo-chan stopped us.
That could've caused trouble...


Page 007


Really...? You could've sung with us, Piyo-chan.
I-I'm not that good at singing in front of people...

That's not true at all! You're a great singer, Piyo-chan!
*Ahem!* You two need to get ready for your work today!
Alright~

C'mon, let's go, nii-chan!
Wah, hold on a minute!


Page 008


We're heading out now!

Rest well, Producer-san. We'll work together again later on!

Give it your all today, everyone!


Page 009


Nihihi. You don't have to tell us twice.
Leave it to me. I'll work perfectly!

So, Producer
please watch over us on TV.

Ah, I made lunch also!
Also, some tea too...
If you don't eat properly, you won't get better!

I guess I'll take a break for now.


Page 010


...Despite that

suddenly losing things to do makes me feel uneasy...
I guess I'll go do some cleaning...

Wah!?

H-Hey, stop it!


Page 011


Hey, hey, you've gotta rest to get better!
Eh, what...?

H-Hibiki...!?

C'mon, tell me the truth. You were thinking about doing housework, right?
Well, me being the only one resting isn't very nice...


Page 012


Ahaha. Leave those little things to me. Now go fully rest up, Yuutarou!
W-What do you mean by that!?

I'm saying that I'll take care of you, Yuutarou! Aren't you glad about that?

Eh...

Uu...


Page 013

Ugyaaa!! Nothing, nothing, you didn't hear anything!
Jeez, what's with you right now!?

A-Anyway! Leave the housework to me! Yuutarou, you rest!

...Have you all gotten back up to par now?
U-uu~ we're still getting better!
Thank you very much for your time!


Page 014


I thought that high school Producer would be with you today, but I don't seel him.

I feel like I've heard this voice before...

Ah, we're with someone else today~!

So he's wearing some sort of dog costume today?

Hehe, if he was, he'd stand out more than we would.
Hahaha, you're right!


Page 015


There have been members going in an out of 765 WINGS lately. When you get to my age, remembering their names is a challenge.
I can tell the difference between Ami and Mami, you know!
Amazing. Can you tell us a trick to tell them apart?

Oops, now it's time for a song from today's guests, 765 WINGS.

Please let us hear it!

At that time Miki and I were working hard together...

We were supposed to be together, so why did she...?


Page  016


Please let us hear it!

They all seem like they're doing well.

Ah, Takane! Perfect timing, the girls from 765 Pro are on the radio...


Page 017


Miki... I have a question for you...
What is it?

I want to ask about the reason you transferred into 961 Pro.

...Eh?

T-Takane... You look kinda scary right now...


Page 018


...That was a song by 765 WINGS.

This feels pretty nostalgic.

Before, getting just one song to play like this was really difficult.

Oh. We never had any trouble with promotions.
It's a bit frustrating to say, but that's one of 961 Pro's strong points.

Who's that? Kotori-san?

No, I don't know the number...


Page 019


Hello. Might this be the phone number of Takagi Yuutarou?
Eh...Shijou!?

"Shijou" you said? Takane!?

H-How do you know my phone number!?
I asked Hoshii Miki. I heard you were injured, but it seems you're doing well now.

I was released from the hospital yesterday... besides that, why are you calling me?

The truth is that I'd like us to meet alone...


Page 020


R-Right now!?
Yes, since I don't often have free time...
So that's why you want to meet with me...

Well...

It's important information about Miki and Hibiki...that I want to tell you.

Got it. I'll leave as soon as I can...where are we meeting...
Okay...What time...


Page 021


You're gonna go meet with Takane?
Yeah.

Then I'm coming too
But...

No way. I'm indebted to them for covering for me! I can't let you go alone!

Hibiki...

...All right.


Page 022


She really wanted to meet at this place...?
Yeah, it's gottta be here...

I see, you're here also, Hibiki...

Shijou!


Page 023


I'm sorry, Takane... I forced Yuutarou to let me come along.
It's fine... I don't mind. I had heard about your whereabouts from Miki.

What's that...

T-These are... photos that were sent to you...!?
Where did you get these, Shijou!?

...I took these from Kuroi-dono's desk.


Page 024


From Kuroi's desk...
So these pictures were taken under his orders...!?

Regrettably so... Since that's what I've gathered from a conversation I overheard.
I believe that the reason Hoshii Miki transferred to 961 Pro is related to this...

Wha... R-Really!?

Also, President Kuroi said this...

"I will not forgive Ganaha Hibiki for sullying my name. If she happens to appear at another agency
I'll crush her with all my might..."


Page 025


That is all I wanted to convey. I need to return to work soon...

Shijou!


Page 026


...Yes?

Why... did you tell this to us, Shijou?

For 961 Pro, telling us this... no, Shijou, this doesn't help you at all...!?

You're probably correct.

I have a debt to Kuroi-dono for discovering me. Also, I can understand how he feels as our leader.
That's why... no, because of that...


Page 027


For one who acts as if he's a king,
do you not think he desires behavior that matches his position?

...I felt like you were channeling him just now, Shijou.

Thank you.

Ah, but that doesn't mean our idols are gonna lose, okay...


Page 028


Shijou Takane, just where are you right now!? We've got a job in just now, head over there right now!

But there's no time to fine-tune the schedule...!

Who cares about that. Just get rid of the jobs with small audiences!

Don't joke about that! Idols arent' just your tools!
W-Who the hell are you...!?

I'll take Miki back! I'll have Hibiki debut under 765 Pro too!
I refuse to lose to you!
