Dear future producer,

It is normal for people to change...
I am no exception...

Chapter 10: "The Drip From the Moon"

3
Takane-san was holding a knife-
And looked really frustrated and scary!

C-Calm down, Yayoi-chan.
But, it's true that Takane's been acting kind of strange lately.

Maybe,
(Takane...)
It's some dark secret that she can't reveal...

There's no way it's like dat!
(It's a joke, a joke!)

Well,
Let's just hear what Takane's gotta say for herself!

4
Miladies,
welcome back.

Why're ya dressed like that!?
There's something wrong with Takane-san after all!!

5
Everyone, wait!
Kotori-san!

Takane-chan has an important announcement to make.
Announcement...?

I, Shijou Takane, will...
Return to my hometown tomorrow.

I can no longer walk the path to Top Idol-dom with everyone else.
You're...gonna quit being an idol!?

...It's unfortunate...

6
It's a bit sudden,
But we should hold a farewell party for Takane-chan.

Could you girls help out?
No way...

(I'm leaving it to you!)
I will not meet them ever again...

7
What should we get...


Really, it's not like this is the last we'll see of her!
so cheer up!

Dat's right!
If Takane saw us all like this,
Then she'd be even sadder!

(Hibiki...)

8
I'm savin' these tears for the very end!
You're already crying oceans!

(Ara ara)
Well, Hibiki does make a good point.

Oh yeah, Makoto-kun!

Since we're holding a party, how about getting some presents for Takane?
Great idea!

9
But, what should we get?
Something that Takane loves, right?

I guess. How about...

Ra...
Ra-

Ramen...
...Ramen.
Ramen?

We don't know Takane at all!
(What's wrong, girls!?)
And we spent so much time together too!

10
Me too...
I gotta...
...Get one too!

That's right.
I'm sure Takane-chan will be very happy.

Kotori-jyou...

11
Is this...alright?
Of course! This is all for Takane-chan!

Yes, but a party is a bit too...
(Takane-chan's farewell party)
Takane-chan,

Just go with the flow!
Leave it up to your Onee-san!
Hold it, Piyoko!

12
Whatcha doin' to Takane?
(We're back!)
Ah!
Welcome back.

Why're ya just sittin' there?
That's because...

This regalia is too heavy for me to move around in.
Why wouldja wear it in the first place?

(She was crying so hard...)
Hibiki sure is energetic.

That's because Takane-chan's here.
Anyway, shall we being?
The farewell party!

13
Yep...
Yeah...
So Depressed!

(Yukiho, it's spilling!)
We can't continue it like this.
But oh well...

Takane-chan, listen...
(Changed)

Understood.

Everyone,

14
All this while, every day here at 765 Pro,
I have  had many precious experiences.
I learned many things that I never knew before.

Don'tcha cry now...

15
Everybody,
due to various reasons, Takane-chan won't ever come back again.
So be sure to say what you need to say here.

No...
I really can't...
I ain't gonna let ya go!

16
Me too!
Me either!
I won't too!

Please don't go...
You can't!
Don'tcha dare leave!

You can't!
CAN'T!
Ever forget about us!

I too-

17
I too do not wish to leave.
The fact that we cannot ever meet again...

Why...
Why are we...

Shedding tears on this occasion?

Why...

18
It's because Takane-chan is shedding tears too, is it not?

19
What I am feeling is...

I wanna go too!
Hibiki...
Tell me where your hometown is!

My...
My hometown is-

20
CUT!!

Perfect job, Takane-chan!
(Task complete!)

Eh...

(Stunned)
Don't forget those feelings...
Yes!

21
Explain ya'self, Piyoko!

Well, actually,
Takane-chan is auditioning for a drama show,

But she didn't know how to act out the tearful farewell scene.
She tried all sorts of techniques, but...
(Ah, that time!)
(Totally weird...)

When I saw her like that,
(I'll take care of it!)
I tried to help out.

Good thing it turned out well!
Indeed.

22
It is thanks to everyone that I obtained this feeling.

But, were the others acting as well?
Nope! That was the most important part to make this work!

But that means I just tricked everyone into...

23
That's okay, everyone understands...
(RUMBLING)

Th...
Th...

THAT'S GREAT~~~

24
This is friendship...

I suppose I still have a lot to learn.

Ah, Kotori-san! Please pay us back for the presents, alright?
(We supported you all the way, after all.)
T-That's a bit too much...

You will.
(Kotori-san! It's her treat!)
