  1. Chapter 09 - A Homemade Budokan
  2.  
  3. Even if small...with love and ingenuity...??
  4.  
  5. ---
  6.  
  7. A haunted house.
  8.  
  9. Maze.
  10.  
  11. Ah~ How nostalgic! A science fair corner!
  12.  
  13. Anna-chan, Serika-chan, look! There's a fortune teller!
  14.  
  15. I remember having those! Maybe I'll give it a...
  16.  
  17. Shot...?
  18.  
  19. ---
  20.  
  21. Konomi Pinch!
  22. (765-Pro Idol Baba Konomi (24) - Rumors of entering a middle school wearing a sailor uniform)
  23.  
  24. They'll see through my disguise because of my overflowing adultness!
  25. If it's come to this, then I'll use seduction to... You can't, Konomi! These are pure-hearted middle schoolers!
  26.  
  27. Phew...looks like I wasn't found out.(Goodness)
  28. (Hey) That girl...
  29.  
  30. Side Note: What's your favorite animal?
  31.  
  32. ---
  33.  
  34. I thought she was an elementary schooler, but she's wearing a uniform.
  35.  
  36. I'm a 24-year old overflowing with maturity!
  37. !?
  38.  
  39. (Murmur Murmur)
  40. (Cute)
  41.  
  42. (What middle school?)
  43. (Say something)
  44.  
  45. Side Note: Mirai - I love puppies! Their wagging tails are so cute~ (music note)
  46. Minako - Let's see~ Cow, pigs, chickens, sheep...huh? That's slightly different?
  47.  
  48. ---
  49.  
  50. ...
  51. Anna-chan, it looks like we got separated from Konomi-san.
  52. I wonder where Mirai-san is going to appear on stage.
  53.  
  54. Hello there, ladies. What's the matter?
  55. Need some help?
  56. (I'm a guide)
  57.  
  58. The stage. I was about to head there too, so let's go.
  59. By the way, you girls are pretty cute~ I think I may have seen you somewhere...
  60.  
  61. Side Note: Tsubasa - Things like hippos might be cute. You know, when they yawn (music note)
  62.  
  63. ---
  64.  
  65. That was class 3A's Oogawa-kun and Shibayama-kun's comedic performance! Let's hear it for them!
  66.  
  67. Shizuka-chan's pretty late...
  68. It's almost time for the performance.
  69.  
  70. Maybe she's not coming...
  71.  
  72. Side Note: Chizuru - I would say rabbits. I served as a caretaker for them in my elementary school days (music note)
  73. Karen - I like rabbits...huh, that's already been said? Uu...w-what should I do...!?
  74.  
  75. ---
  76.  
  77. Mirai-san!
  78. Serika!? You came to see the performance!?
  79.  
  80. S-something's come up!
  81. It's Anna-chan!
  82. Please help her!
  83.  
  84. Side Note: Arisa - It's gotta be idol-chans! They're a type of animal!
  85. Kotoha - I like birds. I'd like to have wings that could fly anywhere, too.
  86.  
  87. ---
  88.  
  89. What do I do...
  90. And here we have a special secret guest!
  91. It's 765-Pro's big-name newcomer idol, Mochizuki Anna-chan!
  92.  
  93. Anna!? And the council president!? (Why!?)
  94. Surprised, Kasuga!?
  95. It's her right? 765-Pro's guest!
  96. I just happened to meet her!
  97.  
  98. This might be...problematic.
  99. Well...maybe we're a bit nervous?
  100.  
  101. Side Note: Anna - ...Griffons, maybe. They drop a lot of jems, so Anna likes them.
  102. Nao - Elephants! They're so rela~xed that it passes on to me when I watch!
  103.  
  104. ---
  105.  
  106. Moving on to another question...
  107.  
  108. Over here, Serika!
  109.  
  110. Anna-chan!
  111. President, stop! The guest isn't Anna, she isn't...
  112.  
  113. ---
  114.  
  115. Hey, everyone~!
  116. It's Anna!
  117. Everyone's idol!
  118.  
  119. ---
  120.  
  121. Since we have the chance, let's vividly sing a song!
  122. Mirai! Start the music!
  123.  
  124. Huh...? Serika?
  125. T-that's Anna, right? Huh...
  126. Mirai-san, is this the first time you've seen Anna perform?
  127.  
  128. Producer-san said that Anna-chan has a switch. When it's been turned on, she becomes invincible.
  129.  
  130. Side Note: If you had to call yourself an animal...?
  131.  
  132. ---
  133.  
  134. (Let's take a look)
  135. (It's at the gym)
  136.  
  137. (Seriously?)
  138. (Me, too!)
  139.  
  140. It's gotten kind of lively.
  141. I've heard the stage performance this afternoon was pretty great.
  142. Something about an actual idol coming.
  143.  
  144. If you're interested, you can find someone to switch with...
  145. That's alright...
  146.  
  147. Shizuka-chan!
  148.  
  149. Side Note: Shizuka - I've never thought of it before, but let's see... I'm probably more of a dog than a cat.
  150. Julia - Let's see~ Maybe a horse. Aren't horses with red manes cool?
  151.  
  152. ---
  153.  
  154. Shizuka-chan...
  155. Finally found you...
  156.  
  157. Ko-
  158. Konomi-san?
  159.  
  160. Wha-, what are you doing!? This is a school festival! (Cute!)
  161. (I-Is it good?)
  162. Well~ You know, just wanted to experience being a student after some time again~ Maybe!
  163.  
  164. It's good that I found you! I got too into it that I lost track of the others! (Ahaha)
  165. Ko no mi-san?
  166.  
  167. ---
  168.  
  169. Did Mirai ask you to do something?
  170. Like bringing me to the stage or something.
  171. I have my own job to do, so I can't.
  172. Shizuka-chan...
  173.  
  174. Don't be so stubborn,
  175. Mirai-chan only wants to make it up between you two. (Okay?)
  176.  
  177. Then I'm definitely not going.
  178. The stage is not a place to reconcile with others,
  179. ...Though it might be the case for her.
  180.  
  181. Side Note: Serika - My friends have said I'm like a hamster. That made me happy (music note)
  182. Matsuri - A type of cat known as a Chinchilla Persian. It's cute like the Hime and is a lovely cat (music note)
  183.  
  184. ---
  185.  
  186. I will make up with her.
  187. It was my fault, so I'll apologize to her again.
  188. However, I'm not going to the stage.
  189.  
  190. You're the best!
  191.  
  192. ---
  193.  
  194. W-woah, it's so lively! That's a professional for you! (So moved!)
  195. Thanks for getting her, Mirai!
  196. We~ll...(My song...)
  197. Anna wasn't what I meant, but it's going well, at least.
  198. (Anna-chaaan!)
  199.  
  200. Everyone! Anna's still brimming with energy!
  201. Is another vivid song alright!?
  202.  
  203. Guess we can't stop her. Let's go too, Serika.
  204. The last one is a group song, after all.
  205. (Have a mic)
  206. Okay, Mirai-san!
  207.  
  208. Side Note: Subaru - Is there an animal that's good at baseball? ...A chimpanzee?
  209. Umi - Hmm~, an animal with a flexible body...oh, a sea cucumber!?
  210.  
  211. ---
  212.  
  213. I actually wanted to sing together with Shizuka-chan,
  214. But there's no time left...maybe she doesn't like me anymore.
  215.  
  216. Shizuka-san loves you, you know?
  217.  
  218. ---
  219.  
  220. ...Really? (You heard it from her?)
  221. That's definitely the case.
  222. My mama and papa fight sometimes, but they get along.
  223.  
  224. After fighting, my papa plays the saxophone alone.
  225. When he does, my mama's piano suddenly joins in,
  226. And before I realize it, they've made up.
  227.  
  228. ...I see.
  229. Then let's sing,
  230. To reach Shizuka-chan.
  231.  
  232. Side Note: Konomi - Maybe a giraffe~ They're tall and pretty picturesque...huh, is not about the animal you want to become?
  233. Elena - I'd be a lion! I like eating meat, and they're cool~ (music note)
  234.  
  235. ---
  236.  
  237. Alright, Broadcasting Club! Connect them all together. This last song's going out to the entire school!
  238. We're making this culture festival a thing of legends!
  239.  
  240. Go~~!
  241. Fight!
  242.  
  243. ---
  244.  
  245. !?
  246. These voices are Anna-chan and Serika-chan!?
  247. What are those two doing!?
  248. Mirai's voice...
  249.  
  250. It's starting...
  251. Mirai's stage...
  252.  
  253. Side Note: Shiho - Humans are also animals, so isn't there no point to doing this?
  254.  
  255. ---
  256.  
  257. Creating
  258.  
  259. These countless stages,
  260. From this place,
  261.  
  262. ---
  263.  
  264. Let's create it,
  265. Our stage.
  266.  
  267. Song,
  268.  
  269. Dance,
  270.  
  271. And this support, too...
  272.  
  273. Perfect! They're all together!
  274.  
  275. ---
  276.  
  277. This is our Budokan,
  278. The best stage there is.
  279.  
  280. So...
  281.  
  282. Reach out
  283. To the whole stage
  284.  
  285. ---
  286.  
  287. Connected together
  288. With a rainbow light,
  289.  
  290. Wipe your tears,
  291. And blossom in a smile,
  292.  
  293. ---
  294.  
  295. For this sparkling encounter,
  296.  
  297. Thank you
  298.  
  299. ...-ka!
  300. Shizuka!
  301.  
  302. Ow!
  303. You alright!?
  304. Sheesh~ Don't space out.
  305.  
  306. I'll get some ice, so wait here!
  307.  
  308. ...Ow.
  309.  
  310. ---
  311.  
  312. I'm sorry...
  313. Mirai...
  314.  
  315. (Thank you very much)
  316. (Thanks everyone!)
  317.  
  318. The performance...ended.
  319.  
  320. Um...Mirai-san.
  321. Thank you, Serika.
  322. I'm alright...I'll speak with Shizuka-chan later.
  323.  
  324. ---
  325.  
  326. Encore.
  327.  
  328. Oh, an encore.
  329. Encore x3 (Mirai!)
  330.  
  331. ---
  332.  
  333. Chapter 10 - Catch my dream
  334.  
  335. A girl locked away in time and has forgotten how to shine...
  336. What she holds in her chest in but one thing...a irreplaceable dream.
  337.  
  338. ---
  339.  
  340. (The culture festival's stage received rave reviews...but Shizuka was not there to see it. The thing that will cover the two's gap is...!?)
  341.  
  342. ...Here you go.
  343.  
  344. Looks like Mirai-chan's performance ended. (Let's eat)
  345.  
  346. ...Are you still angry?
  347.  
  348. ---
  349.  
  350. Not really...it's not about that, I just want to focus on the next job,
  351. Since I don't have time to play around like Mirai.
  352.  
  353. Come now, you're a fresh young middle schooler.
  354. There's plenty of time to...
  355.  
  356. I don't have any time!
  357.  
  358. I promised my father...
  359. T-the time allowed to me to be an idol is running out.
  360.  
  361. I caused some trouble for Mirai... ...And because she's a friend,
  362. I didn't want to refuse her offers...
  363.  
  364. ---
  365.  
  366. A friend...huh.
  367. I don't believe Mirai-chan thinks of it that way.
  368.  
  369. ?
  370. Oh, don't misunderstand me.
  371.  
  372. She told me,
  373. "Shizuka-chan's a professional idol", so she went through the production to get an offer.
  374.  
  375. An offer?
  376.  
  377. You mean that envelope...? Mirai did that?
  378.  
  379. Pretty odd, isn't it. If she were to make up with you, there are other ways of doing that.
  380.  
  381. Side Note: What caused you to laugh recently?
  382.  
  383. ---
  384.  
  385. Why do you think so?
  386. Why go through such a roundabout method as an offer?
  387. Encore x4
  388.  
  389. Side Note: Uh~, who knows? I'm always laughing, so I don't really know (laugh).
  390.  
  391. ---
  392.  
  393. Mirai-san,
  394. It looks like Anna-chan's switch turned off.
  395. Can you handle the encore?
  396.  
  397. Serika.
  398. Yes?
  399.  
  400. What's an encore? (I've heard of it)
  401.  
  402. (Whisper whisper)
  403.  
  404. Side Note: Umi - During gymnastics, my pants ripped...remembering it even now makes me laugh!
  405. Konomi - Fufu (music note) I'm at the age where I laugh even when my chopsticks fall down, so every day...hey, what's with that pitiful look!?
  406.  
  407. ---
  408.  
  409. You mean it!? I can sing again!?
  410.  
  411. I see.
  412. It's not...over, yet.
  413.  
  414. (Stay strong, Anna-chan!)
  415.  
  416. ---
  417.  
  418. Thanks for the encore, everyone!
  419.  
  420. Thank to Anna livening up things on the stage, Serika giving me a helping push, and everyone's cheering, I was able to sing with all that I had.
  421.  
  422. Side Note: Serika - Ehehe (music note) When Junior let out a big sneeze, I ended up laughing (music note)
  423. Elena - When Papa plops down with Mama watching television... ...Ah! That in itself is pretty funny, right!?
  424.  
  425. ---
  426.  
  427. To finish it off, the microphone used for this encore,
  428.  
  429. There's someone that I'd like to accept it...
  430.  
  431. Side Note: Nao - A new comedy show! The thing with the drill was so hilarious, that even remembering it...ahahaha!
  432. Shiho - I laughed at one of Nao-san's puns..."tangerines atop of aluminum cans" was pretty funny.
  433.  
  434. ---
  435.  
  436. My number one idol...
  437.  
  438. Shizuka-chan.
  439.  
  440. ---
  441.  
  442. Reconfirming the steps?
  443. Wow, they're perfect!
  444. Ha-
  445. Haruka-san!?
  446.  
  447. I-it's not that. I'm not good at dancing, so...
  448.  
  449. ---
  450.  
  451. Oh, but...
  452. H-having my first stage performance with you at the theater made me really happy,
  453. S-so I made sure to practice these steps as much as I could.
  454.  
  455. I see! Yeah, it'll be alright! With that talent, you'll manage through the tough stuff!
  456. ?
  457. Talent?
  458.  
  459. Oh, there you are, Haruka, it's time for makeup.
  460. (Wah) I'll be right there!
  461. Ah...
  462.  
  463. ---
  464.  
  465. Haruka-san!
  466.  
  467. U-um,
  468. What would my talent be?
  469.  
  470. The kind that makes people want to support you (evolved music note)
  471. (See you up there (music note)
  472.  
  473. (Wah!)
  474.  
  475. ---
  476.  
  477. Good to see you're getting along with Haruka.
  478. (Not really) She was just looking out for me.
  479.  
  480. I mean, I haven't been supported by others before.
  481.  
  482. Father...my father and mother, too, hate idols and were always against it. And I don't even have a single fan yet.
  483.  
  484. Hey, hey...
  485.  
  486. You have a fan, you know?
  487. I haven't even debuted yet, so what are you saying?
  488. Well...
  489.  
  490. ---
  491.  
  492. He's right here.
  493.  
  494. You're my idol that I'm proud about, so I'll always support you. (Now let's go!)
  495.  
  496. ...But thinking back on that,
  497. (Three minutes left!)
  498.  
  499. It's Producer's job, so all he does is support us. (Almost got tricked)
  500. That's different from being a fan, definitely.
  501.  
  502. ---
  503.  
  504. It's definitely different.
  505. I'm cheering for you.
  506.  
  507. Hey, Chihaya-chan. I realized something.
  508. What is it, Haruka?
  509.  
  510. We're usually just girls, but even if there's at least one fan to cheer us on...
  511. That makes us idols from that moment on.
  512.  
  513. ---
  514.  
  515. Shizuka! (I'm back!)
  516.  
  517. Here's the ice.
  518. The teacher said to leave it on for a while.
  519. ...I'm sorry.
  520.  
  521. I need to go, can you handle this!?
  522. Huh!? I can't cook...
  523.  
  524. Shizuka-chan!
  525.  
  526. Go ahead, Onee-san will do something about this.
  527.  
  528. Wai-, Shizuka! Where are you going!?
  529.  
  530. Side Note - Chizuru - Recently, my mother went to the convenience store in her slippers. I burst out laughing (music note)
  531.  
  532. ---
  533.  
  534. To the stage!
  535.  
  536. (I'll show them! An adult's sexy udon!)
  537. Who is this girl...?
  538.  
  539. ---
  540.  
  541. Since I was a child,
  542. The dream I drew up
  543.  
  544. Side Note: Karen - I have more memories of being shocked than laughing... I'll do my best to laugh more!
  545.  
  546. ---
  547.  
  548. Stopping when becoming flustered,
  549.  
  550. Doing it over,
  551.  
  552. And even so,
  553. chasing after tomorrow, so surely...
  554.  
  555. ---
  556.  
  557. Today, more than yesterday,
  558. I'd get just a bit closer.
  559.  
  560. ---
  561.  
  562. Now is the time I need to sing, for my sake,
  563.  
  564. To have it end as just a dream,
  565.  
  566. I don't want to have that regret.
  567.  
  568. ---
  569.  
  570. Continuing on to tomorrow,
  571.  
  572. Open a path,
  573.  
  574. ---
  575.  
  576. ---
  577.  
  578. [Transformation Scene]
  579.  
  580. ---
  581.  
  582. ---
  583.  
  584. To the next stage!
  585.  
  586. ---
  587.  
  588. Mirai, I...
  589.  
  590. You're late,

  592. Shizuka-chan.
  593.  
  594. Side Note: What do you put on fried eggs?
  595.

  597.  
  598. I...
  599. Want to be an idol.
  600. I want to be an idol.
  601.  
  602. ...No, I am...
  603. I am!
  604.  
  605. Side Note: Shizuka - Soy sauce. I also like putting it in udon.
  606. Minako - I keep it simple with some salt. Cooking has some times when simplicity is the best (music note)
  607.  
  608. ---
  609.  
  610. Idol!
  611. Mogami Shizuka will sing!
  612.  
  613. ---
  614.  
  615. Mirai, the dustpan. (please)
  616. Okay.
  617. What a shock, huh.
  618.  
  619. With Anna winning and whatnot. (Was originally my performance, too...)
  620. (This year's winner by ballot vote is the surprise entrant, Mochizuki Anna-san!)
  621. (That's amazing, Anna-chan!)
  622. I was aiming for it this year, too... (At the udon stall)
  623.  
  624. Side Note: Julia - I go with soy sauce. Great if there's miso soup, too! ...Hey! What are you laughing about!?
  625. Kotoha - I prefer just having some salt. I like the yolk half cooked... (music note)
  626.  
  627. ---
  628.  
  629. Up we go.
  630.  
  631. There's a lot of trash, so I'm off to throw it out!
  632. Okay, thanks.
  633.  
  634. ...
  635.  
  636. Mirai.
  637.  
  638. Side Note: Tsubasa - I prefer omelettes more than fried eggs~ ...Is that okay?
  639. Anna - ...Fried cockatrice eggs recover all HP, you know.
  640.  
  641. For the live earlier,
  642. Thanks for doing it for my sake.
  643. And also,
  644. Congratulations on your debut.
  645.  
  646. I have a letter...though it's a little bent.
  647.  
  648. I'm so happy!
  649.  
  650. ---
  651.  
  652. "To Mirai:"
  653.  
  654. You're normally supposed to read that by yourself! (Can't believe it!)
  655. Aww~ Getting all embarrassed~
  656.  
  657. (Then I'll read it later~)
  658.  
  659. Mirai!
  660. Sheesh~ What~? It this keeps going... (We'll never finish cleaning, you know?)
  661.  
  662. Side Note: Subaru - I use sauce. ...Huh!? I-I'm feeling someone's gaze for some reason!?
  663. Arisa - Arisa uses sauce. ...Huh!? I'm feeling Matsuri-hime's terrifying gaze!
  664.  
  665. ---
  666.  
  667. I think of you as a rival.
  668.  
  669. Ri-...
  670.  
  671. A rival, me!?
  672. Yours!?
  673.  
  674. That's impossible, of course~
  675. Sheesh! Saying all these weird things today. (hup)
  676.  
  677. ...
  678. (Thought you'd say that.)
  679.  
  680. Side Note: Matsuri - Hime is part of team soy sauce. Don't tell me there are those who use sauce, right? ...Right?
  681.  
  682. ---
  683.  
  684. But I believe in it more than anyone,
  685. That you'll be one.
  686.  
  687. An idol that aims for the top.
  688.  
  689. I'll be waiting,
  690. Mirai.

  699.  
  700. Hello everyone,
  701. I'm Kasuga Mirai.
  702.  
  703. A lot of Theater members are assembled today.
  704. (No baseball in the hallway!)
  705. (Bowling, too!)
  706.  
  707. And that's because...
  708.  
  709. ---
  710.  
  711. We're practicing together today for a production starting next week!
  712. (Double Turbo Punch!)
  713. (Gah, you got me!)
  714.  
  715. The Theater doesn't just sing, huh. (Sounds fun!)
  716. Of course!
  717. There's also public recordings and other events that we do.
  718.  
  719. Mira-chaan! (Sorry for the wait!)
  720.  
  721. Alright, here's the script. I marked your lines for you. (Do your best!)
  722. (Wow) Thank you very much!
  723.  
  724. Kotoha is directing.
  725. She looks so cool and collected today!
  726.  
  727. Side Note: Mirai - An energetic 14-year old.
  728. Shizuka - A 14-year old full of worries
  729. Tsubasa - A fickle prodigy type
  730.  
  731. ---
  732.  
  733. Kotoha!
  734.  
  735. (Look, look (music note))
  736. (I'm an evil leader!)
  737. (Think that's going too far...)
  738. Elena-chan gets along really well with her! She's cute and cute, so I love her, too.
  739.  
  740. Looking forward to what outfits you'll have, too!
  741. We're off to the makeup room, then.
  742. Time to change~!
  743.  
  744. T-this is coo-...
  745. It's embarrassing~
  746.  
  747. Side Note: Kotoha - The Theater's committee head
  748. Elena - Half Latin-American
  749. Hinata - Simple rural girl
  750.  
  751. ---
  752.  
  753. It gives off the image of a hero of justice! It's cute, Hinata-chan!
  754. R-really? Tokyo's fashion sure is complicated.
  755.  
  756. I, I wouldn't call it fashion...though...
  757.  
  758. Minako-chan, who is in charge of the outfits, is like the theater's big sister! (Okay!)
  759.  
  760. Karen-san is in charge of makeup. She always gives off a nice sweet scent, and is a lovely person. (Stay still, okay?)
  761.  
  762. ---
  763.  
  764. (Hmm...)
  765.  
  766. ...
  767. Shizuka-chan.
  768.  
  769. Our outfits are pretty normal. (Wasn't Konomi-san wearing this before?)
  770. Don't complain about it, (That uniform suits you pretty well...)
  771. ...And also,
  772.  
  773. Do you think we could wear THAT outfit?
  774. Aah~
  775.  
  776. Side Note: Minako - Big serving older sister
  777. Karen - Hesitant beauty
  778. Fuuka - Plump and bouncy
  779.  
  780. ---
  781.  
  782. Why is my outfit the only one with the chest... (sniff)
  783. Producer-san even said this role was a pure one...
  784. Fuuka-san, Fuuka-san!
  785.  
  786. It says your role is a battle nurse with a healing ability! You're on the side of justice, so I think that's pretty pure! (This script is really interesting!)
  787.  
  788. Huh? Really? I'm pure?
  789. Yeah!　In this scene, your clothes get ripped protecting someone! (That's really admirable!)
  790. I, I'm so happy...! Thank you, Umi-chan!
  791. With Fuuka-san wearing that, Producer's definitely going to push further...
  792.  
  793. Shizuka-chan, Shizuka-chan! I want to practice the lines!
  794. That's a good idea,
  795. It's cramped here, so let's go to the stretching room.
  796.  
  797. Side Note - Umi - Fitness > Femininity
  798. Nao - Energetic girl from Osaka
  799. Konomi - 24 years young
  800.  
  801. ---
  802.  
  803. No...
  804. Mirai, look! The highway is burning!
  805. Save us~! Might Sailor!
  806.  
  807. Huh!? That's it!?
  808. (Female Student A/B)
  809. I die right after this. (My final line is "I wanted to eat udon before the end...")
  810.  
  811. Hey!
  812. Subaru-kun! What is with that half-hearted acting?
  813. Well, this line is embarrassing...
  814.  
  815. Side Note - A natural princess, you know?
  816.  
  817. ---
  818.  
  819. That's no good!
  820. You won't reach the audience with this! This isn't for fun! One more time!
  821. Gah...okay, then.
  822.  
  823. O-...Onii-chan...w-where are you? ...Subaru's so scared...
  824.  
  825. Arisa!?
  826.  
  827. Arisa...has nothing left...to teach...
  828. Arisa! Pull yourself together!
  829. What's Arisa-san's job? (She's pretty lively today)
  830. In charge of production...originally.
  831.  
  832. Side Note - "Ore"-girl
  833.  
  834. ---
  835.  
  836. Sayoko!
  837.  
  838. I don't want to fight you!
  839.  
  840. ...The average high school student Sayoko...
  841.  
  842. Side Note: Arisa - Idol database
  843.  
  844. ---
  845.  
  846. Is no more.
  847.  
  848. I am the wielder of the Destrudo Sword,
  849. The mad bringer of destruction, Dark Sailor.
  850.  
  851. Side Note - Hard effort-type honor student
  852.  
  853. ---
  854.  
  855. Those two are amazing... (Cool!)
  856. They're the lead roles, after all.
  857.  
  858. A-aww, you two were watching!?
  859. That was very impressive, Yuriko!
  860. I don't understand one thing, though,
  861. Why did Sayoko-san go back to normal?
  862.  
  863. Oh, that!
  864. Dark Sailor's Destrudo Sword was forged in the depths of darkness, right? So they used the katana to trap her dispelled dark aura within in! Going back a bit, Sayoko had a high affinity with the Destrudo element, so...
  865.  
  866. Side Note: Yuriko - Daydreaming literary girl
  867.  
  868. ---
  869.  
  870. Huh, you don't get it?
  871. Then I'll describe the world in detail. First... (On a chart!)
  872. Everyone...
  873.  
  874. Lunch has been prepared,
  875. So let's take a break. (The menu is fried croquettes!)
  876. Yay!
  877.  
  878. Thank you, Chizuru-san,
  879. Yuriko tends to go on for a while.
  880. That's rather natural of her.
  881.  
  882. Yuriko has been going over the script ever since she received it, she seems quite invested in it.
  883. (And also! Yuriko and Sayoko were originally childhood friends that lived next door to each other! This is background information!)
  884.  
  885. ---
  886.  
  887. ...Like I said,
  888. Don't ask me things you could figure out by reading the script properly.
  889.  
  890. Hold it, Shiho,
  891. Don't say something like that.
  892.  
  893. Serika just wants you know your thoughts on it. (Right, Serika?)
  894. I'm saying to think before you ask. (You're spoiling her too much)
  895. Shiho and Shizuka-chan are currently fighting.
  896.  
  897. Sayoko-chan, are you eating properly?
  898. No, I'm memorizing everyone's lines right now.
  899. Everyone's!?
  900.  
  901. Side Note: Chizuru - Fake celeb
  902. Serika - Sheltered high-class girl
  903. Shiho - Cool loner
  904.  
  905. ---
  906.  
  907. Phew.
  908.  
  909. We were a bit pressed, but we're about proceeding on schedule.
  910. Mufufu (heart) Got pictures of everyone!
  911.  
  912. Listen up, everyone,
  913. You can dress roughly for this afternoon's dress rehearsal, okay?
  914. Those who had their outfits checked out can go ahead and change. (It's going well today!)
  915. (Okay!)
  916.  
  917. Ah~ Everyon'e outfits this time around are so daring, that I...
  918.  
  919. Ahh!
  920. Arisa!? What's the matter?
  921.  
  922. Arisa forgot about the most important "that person"~!
  923.  
  924. Side Note: Julia - Punk rocker
  925. Anna - On-off states
  926.  
  927. ---
  928.  
  929. Hai-ho!
  930. Shadow Lady has appeared!
  931.  
  932. M-Matsuri-san! Shadow Lady is a spy that lurks in the shadows, so you're not supposed to stand out~! (Horses and confetti are also banned! Banned!)
  933. Ho? (Mr. Horse is cute, you know?)
  934. Then let's have be where I work as a princess during the day! (music note)
  935. That that has nothing to do with being a spy~!
  936.  
  937. I loves times like these when I can make a stage together with everyone at the theater.
  938. Please come to watch, everyone.
  939.

  943.  
  944. Mirai, are you alright?
  945. Don't lose me now.
  946.  
  947. Aww, you're so excited!
  948. I-I wouldn't say that...
  949. Oh, there it is! Up ahead!
  950.  
  951. Wow...
  952.

  970. 765 Pro's 3-person unit,
  971. Has a new　album on sale and has announced a national tour.
  972. (Wow~)
  973.  
  974. The members are Miki-san, Takane-san, and Hibiki-san, they say!
  975. I saw it earlier with Shizuka-chan! There was a big advertisement!
  976. Did you see the promo? Their dancing was super cool!
  977. Attention, everyone! All eyes to the television!
  978. Their CM is about to come on!
  979.  
  980. ---
  981.  
  982. Their combined harmony...so great!
  983. It's wonderful...
  984.  
  985. Phew, Hibiki-san's dancing is as pinpoint as ever!
  986. I've been in lessons with her, but it's hard to believe she's younger than me.
  987.  
  988. Takane-san's so pretty like a real princess!
  989. I'd like to become a girl like that!
  990. (Umi, you're too loud)
  991.  
  992. Side Note: What type of manga do you like?
  993.  
  994. ---
  995.  
  996. Hey, Nao, what's a tour?
  997. It's where you do lives at all sorts of venues,
  998. Hopefully there's one in Osaka, too.
  999. Fufufu...
  1000.  
  1001. By the way, Arisa is set to go to all performances on all days!
  1002. Since the production and set list varies by place!
  1003.  
  1004. Let's go see them too, Shizuka-chan.
  1005. Yeah, it would be a good learning experience, so let's ask Producer for some seats.
  1006. Hold it right there!
  1007.  
  1008. VIP seats are heresy.
  1009. ...Huh? (So close...)
  1010.  
  1011. Let's explain.
  1012.  
  1013. Side Note: Mirai - M-my favorite manga? Uh, well... ...It's romance manga. Uu, how embarrassing~!
  1014.  
  1015. ---
  1016.  
  1017. First off is applying for tickets!
  1018. The nervous anticipation as you wait for the drawing results!
  1019. That glorious feeling when you won godly seats! (AAAAAAH, A-rooow!)
  1020.  
  1021. That's right, the live starts at this very moment!
  1022.  
  1023. And on the day of the live, you have a heated idol talk with those next to you!
  1024. (That shirt's from the 2nd Live! That encore part was the best!)
  1025. (I know!)
  1026.  
  1027. Crying, laughing, the moment when the fans and idols all become as one across the entire venue!
  1028. (Everyone's so radiant! It glistens! Sparkles!)
  1029. All of these combined is what makes a live!
  1030.  
  1031. Arisa was...Arisa was but a fan before becoming an idol!
  1032. Let's go ask the producer.
  1033.  
  1034. Side Note: Kotoha - I don't really read manga. ...Oh, this interview is for a manga magazine!?
  1035.  
  1036. ---
  1037.  
  1038. Oh, I see everyone's gathered together.
  1039.  
  1040. Good timing, Producer!
  1041. Producer-san! Tickets for this, please!
  1042.  
  1043. I see you've caught wind of it,
  1044. However, I'd rather not have you stay in the mindset of an audience member.
  1045.  
  1046. The tour's back dancers!?
  1047.  
  1048. Side Note - Arisa - Obviously, it's going to be idol-related~!
  1049. Anna - Anna...is on the gamer side
  1050.  
  1051. ---
  1052.  
  1053. T-that means we'd appear with them on the nationwide tour!?
  1054. And dance on the big stages!?
  1055. This would be the first time I did a live outside of the Theater!
  1056. Calm down, everyone.
  1057.  
  1058. Of course, not everyone can participate.
  1059. The members will be decided by audition.
  1060. As the tour members, Hibiki, Takane, and Miki will be judging directly...
  1061. Miki-senpai?
  1062.  
  1063. I could perform lives with Miki-senpai~!?
  1064.  
  1065. Side Note: Karen - I like comedic manga. ...I'd like to enjoy myself in at least the 2D world.
  1066.  
  1067. ---
  1068.  
  1069. Tsubasa.
  1070. (Morning)
  1071. (Morning!)
  1072. Hello, right over here!
  1073. I definitely want to do that!
  1074.  
  1075. Producer-san! I want to do it, too!
  1076. I as well!
  1077. Producer! Don't leave me out of dancing jobs!
  1078. I told you that I'm not the one deciding...
  1079.  
  1080. I won't say that you'll be chosen by dancing ability alone, however.
  1081. "I can rely on her to be my back dancer!" You should strive to impose that kind of feeling!
  1082.  
  1083. Excuse me...Producer-san?
  1084. (Question!)
  1085. What's up, Serika?
  1086.  
  1087. Side Note: Tsubasa - I like anything with a cool guy in it~
  1088.  
  1089. ---
  1090.  
  1091. How many back dancers total will be chosen from the audition? (Um)
  1092.  
  1093. Oh...sorry...
  1094. Should have said that at the start.
  1095.  
  1096. Four...
  1097.  
  1098. That was less than I though (Four people, huh)
  1099. Would have been nice if we could all just line up together (With about ten)
  1100. But with four, after we three pass, there's going to be another, too.
  1101.  
  1102. Side Note: Yuriko - I recommend detective works! Like the one where the detecting is an elementary student!
  1103. ...C-, cat related manga. What, did I say something odd!?
  1104.  
  1105. ---
  1106.  
  1107. Tsubasa, you're too optimistic.
  1108. A tour is like a vacation, right?
  1109. Would we go to Hokkaido?
  1110. Mutton and vegetables! Soft Serve!
  1111.  
  1112. Fresh milk...
  1113.  
  1114. Shizuka-chan!
  1115. I'll seriously do my best! (Let's practice every morning!)
  1116. I think I heard an improper motive, though.
  1117.  
  1118. Mirai, understand this.
  1119. Tsubasa, too.
  1120.  
  1121. By performing together with our seniors outside of the Theater,
  1122. This is a chance to advertise ourselves to a completely new branch of people.
  1123. This is the best chance we could ask for as idols,
  1124. So we shouldn't pass this up.
  1125.  
  1126. Side Note: Minako - Cooking manga! They have plenty of good ideas.
  1127. Matsuri - I like historical ones. Specifically ones with the Tokugawa Family...'kay?
  1128.  
  1129. ---
  1130.  
  1131. So...hey, are you listening!?
  1132. (Crab)
  1133. (Cow Miso ramen)
  1134.  
  1135. Well, I don't get the hard parts,
  1136. But I want to be the back for Miki-senpai, so I'll do it properly~
  1137.  
  1138. Do you like Miki-chan? (I met her at the office before)
  1139. Yeah!
  1140.  
  1141. She's the model,
  1142. For my happy life!
  1143.  
  1144. Side Note: Chizuru - The neighborhood-oriented types, I suppose~ I like reading manga that relaxes me as I read them.
  1145.  
  1146. ---
  1147.  
  1148. Happy...what?
  1149. Happy life!
  1150. The best life where you're popular and have fun!
  1151. To do that, I think I have to first become an idol like Miki-senpai, though~
  1152.  
  1153. (Why?)
  1154.  
  1155. Well, Miki-senpai is so stylish and cute,
  1156. And she's popular with both boys and girls!
  1157. (Miki, do your best)
  1158.  
  1159. Even though she doesn't seem to do any intense training, she shines so much on the stage,
  1160. So I think she's definitely enjoying every day~
  1161.  
  1162. Side Note: What part of your body do you wash first?
  1163.  
  1164. ---
  1165.  
  1166. That's your dream, huh. (Huh)
  1167. Yeah! (music note)
  1168. And getting love confessions every day at school...
  1169.  
  1170. A crepe store~! Let's take a look!
  1171.  
  1172. Did you hear that, Shizuka-chan?
  1173. Did Tsubasa become an idol to become popular or something? (Ahaha)
  1174. She's totally child-like, right?
  1175. I was shocked the first time I heard it, too.
  1176.  
  1177. Although,
  1178. The impressive thing about Tsubasa is...
  1179.  
  1180. Side Note: Shizuka - Wha-...!? I don't want to answer something like that! It's rude to ask a girl that, you know?
  1181. Serika - I start with my hair! I love the smell of shampoo (music note)
  1182.  
  1183. ---
  1184.  
  1185. Even with that childlike goal, she's the real deal with that talent of hers.
  1186. (Look! I got a free one!)
  1187.  
  1188. Day of the back dancer audition
  1189.  
  1190. Side Note: Fuuka - From the neck. It's good to pro~perly wash behind your ears (music note)
  1191.  
  1192. ---
  1193.  
  1194. (765-Pro Back Dancer Audition - Ganaha Hibiki Shijou Takane Hoshii Miki
  1195. I'm 765-Pro's Ganaha Hibiki.
  1196. I am Shijou Takane.
  1197.  
  1198. Miki's going to be late due to work, so we'll start with the judging first!
  1199. Let's see your best!
  1200. Thank you!
  1201.  
  1202. ---
  1203.  
  1204. It's about time, huh...!
  1205. Hey hey, Shizuka-chan,
  1206. Those two are prettier than on the television
  1207. Uu...Arisa is probably more suited for being in the guest seats... (Getting a little nervous...)
  1208.  
  1209. A c-challenge state of mind...challenge state of mind... (I can do it...I can do it...)
  1210. Hey, Karen, wouldn't be bother those cute people by being behind them?
  1211. He-...
  1212. Wait, everyone!
  1213.  
  1214. Let's relax and do it!
  1215. P-Producer said not to get nervous in...in front of our seniors!
  1216. Kotoha sure has a way with words.
  1217.  
  1218. Alright, first up!
  1219. Shizuka, you'll dance first!
  1220. Y-, yes!
  1221. Do your best, Shizuka-chan! (Go, go, Shizuka!)
  1222. (Do it, do it, Shizuka!)
  1223.  
  1224. Side Note: Sayoko - My glasses. First I splash them, and...no, that's perfectly normal, you know!?
  1225.  
  1226. ---
  1227.  
  1228. Can't take it anymore...
  1229.  
  1230.  
  1231. Can't take it anymore ...
  1232.  
  1233. Come on, Shizuka-chan, don't get depressed before the results are even announced.
  1234. But my legs stopped in the second half.
  1235. Me, too (That step's pretty tough)
  1236.  
  1237. And you're one to talk!
  1238. You didn't remember anything you practiced this morning! (You shouldn't be consoling me!)
  1239. Yeah~ Totally forgot. (Dehehe)
  1240. It's not a laughing matter!
  1241.  
  1242. And you, Tsubasa? It's almost your turn, so do you have anything you need to...
  1243.  
  1244. Side Note: Konomi - Fufu, don't be surprised by Onee-san's adult response, okay? ...The belly button, of course!
  1245. Subaru - The head, I guess~ Your head gets covered with sand after sliding.
  1246.  
  1247. ---
  1248.  
  1249. Hmm? You say something?
  1250. Not really. Sorry, were you concentrating?
  1251.  
  1252. I was just watching everyone's dancing~ (It's fun)
  1253. You have a point, this is a good opportunity to learn rather than getting depressed.
  1254. (Me, too!)
  1255.  
  1256. ---
  1257.  
  1258. Shimabara Elena
  1259.  
  1260. I say...her profile states that her special skill is "samba". What manner of action is this?
  1261. Sanba is a Brazillian dance,
  1262. She's a half, you know!
  1263. She's the type that communicates through spontaneous dance!
  1264. (Thanks!)
  1265.  
  1266. I'm interested in this entrant.
  1267. I see...!
  1268.  
  1269. Side Note: Elena - The arms! I start from the arms and move on to the chest. ...Don't imagine that, okay?
  1270.  
  1271. ---
  1272.  
  1273. Kousaka Umi, 16 years old,
  1274. Her personal appeal is the confidence in her stamina.
  1275.  
  1276. But what I've noticed more than that is that body!
  1277.  
  1278. That expressive flexibility combined with those trained muscles,
  1279. I've seen that with ballet dancers!
  1280. (Hup)
  1281.  
  1282. ---
  1283.  
  1284. Next up is Makoto's recommendation,
  1285.  
  1286. Maihama Ayumu, 19 years old.
  1287.  
  1288. With an extraordinary sense of rhythm fostered by studying in America, she's a dancer that can do things like R&B and hip hop!
  1289.  
  1290. ---
  1291.  
  1292. And finally,
  1293. Kitakami Reika, 20 years old.
  1294.  
  1295. Her long and slender legs and height gives off a special feeling,
  1296. And I think she'll really shine on the stage.
  1297.  
  1298. ---
  1299.  
  1300. Yeah,
  1301. I think these four are the ones.
  1302.  
  1303. I see you've been watching intently,
  1304. Most impressive of you, Hibiki.
  1305. Heheh! Maybe.
  1306.  
  1307. But the others are, well...
  1308. Yes, I feel that their movements are stiff.
  1309.  
  1310. They're probably not used to auditions yet,
  1311. They've done a lot of theater work, so that's probably affecting it. (Hmm)
  1312.  
  1313. Might have been a good thing that Miki was late.
  1314. She'd just say what she really thinks and really freeze up everyone.
  1315.  
  1316. Side Note: Umi - Huh!? A, A-a-answering that is embarrassing~!
  1317. Hinata - I start from the head. But having Grandma do it is the best.
  1318.  
  1319. ---
  1320.  
  1321. (Afuu) Sorry for being late.
  1322.  
  1323. Were you just talking about me, Hibiki?
  1324. N-not really.
  1325. Good day, Miki.
  1326.  
  1327. Miki-senpaaai!
  1328. Senpai!
  1329.  
  1330. ---
  1331.  
  1332. Miki-senpai,
  1333. Did you finish working~?
  1334. Tsubasa, it's been a while (Heavy)
  1335. It's odd to see Miki being the one hugged.
  1336.  
  1337. You know,
  1338. Miki's really tired from today,
  1339. So let's speed through the audition.
  1340.  
  1341. D-don't misunderstand, Tsubasa! She just means not to draw it out! (It's nothing to be scared about!)
  1342.  
  1343. Okay then...
  1344.  
  1345. Side Note: Nao - I start from the hands~ Don't you just start from there?
  1346. Julia - Probably the head~. It's the girl's job to get rid of the makeup...
  1347.  
  1348. ---
  1349.  
  1350. Can I just
  1351. Go ahead and dance~?
  1352.  
  1353. Shizuka-chan.
  1354. Yeah,
  1355.  
  1356. It's about time for Tsubasa's turn.
  1357. (One two three four)
  1358.  
  1359. ---
  1360.  
  1361. [Dancing]
  1362.  
  1363. ---
  1364.  
  1365. Woah.
  1366.  
  1367. Wow, Tsubasa's at her best today.
  1368. So cool!
  1369. Yeah, looking good. (Not bad)
  1370.  
  1371. Tsubasa...
  1372. She's really amazing.
  1373.  
  1374. This is different from the talent I was born with...
  1375. That's the feeling that comes to me.
  1376.  
  1377. ---
  1378.  
  1379. Not just me,
  1380.  
  1381. But to everyone here...
  1382.  
  1383. Control's been snatched away.
  1384. You can't look away from those eyes.
  1385.  
  1386. ...Wow!
  1387.  
  1388. That's amazing, Tsubasa! I was totally into it!
  1389. Right, Takane?
  1390. (Yes) I felt your extraordinary talent.
  1391.  
  1392. And I think she's a lot like Miki, too!
  1393. Matching flowers and whatnot!
  1394.  
  1395. Miki, what do you th-...
  1396.  
  1397. ---
  1398.  
  1399. Miki-senpa~i.
  1400.  
  1401. How was my dance~? Will you take me on your tour~?
  1402.  
  1403. Well, Miki thinks...
  1404.  
  1405. That you're not a good match as our dancer.
  1406.  
  1407. ---
  1408.  
  1409. ...Hmm?
  1410.  
  1411. ---
  1412.  
  1413. Seems pretty lively upstairs,
  1414. What's going on?
  1415. It's an audition for that national tour.
  1416.  
  1417. Oh, the back dancer thing.
  1418.  
  1419. I would have liked it if you participated, too.
  1420. Don't say that,
  1421. You know my dancing isn't up to par.
  1422.  
  1423. Dancing is an important part of being an idol.
  1424. Of course, I'm very impressed by your attitude towards singing, though.
  1425.  
  1426. Being an idol...huh.
  1427.  
  1428. ---
  1429.  
  1430. Still having second thoughts about becoming an idol?
  1431. No, I decided to go through with it.
  1432. If I'm going to do something, I won't do it halfway, so I'll dance if it's necessary.
  1433.  
  1434. Or rather...you know,
  1435. I'm wondering what it means to be an idol.
  1436.  
  1437. ---
  1438.  
  1439. Shimabara Elena, Kousaka Umi,
  1440. Maihama Ayumu, and Kitakami Reika.
  1441. Those four have been selected.
  1442. Everyone, thanks for participating!
  1443.  
  1444. ?
  1445. What's wrong, Shizuka-chan?
  1446.  
  1447. Just wondering where Tsubasa is. (She wasn't here earlier)
  1448.  
  1449. ...
  1450. So bo~ring.
  1451.  
  1452. ---
  1453.  
  1454. Chapter 12 - Yes/No
  1455.  
  1456. Ibuki Tsubasa, 14 years old. Idols just gotta make your heart throb!
  1457.  
  1458. ---
  1459.  
  1460. Side Note: Please state your preferred curry spiciness.
  1461.  
  1462. ---
  1463.  
  1464. That's enough for today!
  1465.  
  1466. One more week until the regular live!
  1467. Let's work hard!
  1468.  
  1469. Ow ow...
  1470.  
  1471. I'll totally be sore tomorrow~
  1472. Let's build up more muscle! Even more!
  1473. Reika, you don't seem to be sweating much.
  1474. Oh, it's Shizuka-chan! (Washing her face!)
  1475.  
  1476. ---
  1477.  
  1478. Good work today. You're all practicing for the tour?
  1479. You bet~ There's so many songs that we might burst.
  1480. Takane-san and the others must have pretty good endurance, too!
  1481. The secret to beauty, perhaps.
  1482.  
  1483. I'm going to see the tour as well! Please do your best.
  1484. Yeah! Do your best at the regular live, too!
  1485. Tell Kotoha I said good luck, too!
  1486.  
  1487. (Nice singing, Reika!)
  1488.  
  1489. To make Elena-san and Ayumu-san like that,
  1490. Their practice must be very intense.
  1491.  
  1492. Side Note: Mirai - My mother's curry! ...Oh, it's about spiciness! My mother's curry's spiciness!
  1493.  
  1494. ---
  1495.  
  1496. It's not just in endurance,
  1497. I need to stop telling myself I'm not good at it and more proactively practice dancing.
  1498.  
  1499. Dance pract-...
  1500.  
  1501. Shi
  1502. zu
  1503.  
  1504. Ka!
  1505. Kyaa!
  1506.  
  1507. Na-, Nao-san! What are you doing!? (Time and time again!)
  1508. You hungry?
  1509. Going to Minako's now for dinner, wanna come?
  1510.  
  1511. Side Note: Mizuki - Eating curry, no worries! ...Joking. I like sweet curry.
  1512.  
  1513. ---
  1514.  
  1515. Oh, sorry. I have a meeting planned with Tsubasa right now...
  1516. Tsubasa? She left right after training finished.
  1517.  
  1518. (My big brother bought a cake, so I'm heading home (music note)
  1519. Whaaat!?
  1520.  
  1521. That~little~! Not cooperative in the slightest!
  1522. Settle down, now.
  1523.  
  1524. Practice has intensified as we approach the regular live,
  1525. So you should relax for today.
  1526.  
  1527. But...
  1528. If I'm tired from doing this much, then I'll never...
  1529.  
  1530. Alright! Off to dinner, Shizuka! This is an order from your senior!
  1531. What!?
  1532.  
  1533. Wahhoi!
  1534. Fried rice for ten and gyoza for eight for now!
  1535.  
  1536. (For ten...)
  1537.  
  1538. Minako's that's way too much to start with. (This chili oil's good)
  1539. Help yourselves, everyone!
  1540. I'll make it cheap!
  1541. (Smells good!)
  1542. (Okay!)
  1543.  
  1544. Side Note: Elena - Elena loves spicy things! It's delicious with a ton of habanero!
  1545.  
  1546. ---
  1547.  
  1548. Mirai-san, these chopsticks are stuck together. (Is it defective?)
  1549. You don't know about the disposable kind!?
  1550.  
  1551. (You do this, and...whoops.
  1552.  
  1553. So...
  1554.  
  1555. I'll listen up if you're concerned about anything,
  1556. Shizuka.
  1557.  
  1558. Hmm?
  1559. Huh?
  1560. I don't...
  1561.  
  1562. We can tell by that face of yours,
  1563. We're older, after all. We can give some advice!
  1564.  
  1565. Side Note: Minako - The essence of curry isn't spiciness, but its depth! Guess that's not much of an answer.
  1566.  
  1567. ---
  1568.  
  1569. ...Well,
  1570. It's about the audition the other day.
  1571.  
  1572. I thought Elena-san, Ayumu-san, and the others were amazing.
  1573. But,
  1574. How can I say this...
  1575.  
  1576. They were no match for Tsubasa? (This egg roll's good, too)
  1577. You think that, too!?
  1578.  
  1579. Well,
  1580. She was definitely the one that stood out the most that day.
  1581.  
  1582. But then...why did Miki-senpai say something like that?
  1583. I feel bad for Tsubasa.
  1584.  
  1585. Side Note: Reika - Curry makes you have no worries! (music note) ...Huh!? I overlapped with Mizuki-chan!? What a shock~!
  1586.  
  1587. ---
  1588.  
  1589.  
  1590. "I want to be able to dance like that."
  1591. I thought that the first time I saw Tsubasa. And for her to not be chosen...
  1592.  
  1593. Shizuka-chan, what do you think is the most important thing for a back dancer? (Here, soup)
  1594.  
  1595. Dancing technique...isn't it?
  1596. ...Right?
  1597.  
  1598. ---
  1599.  
  1600. I think it's...
  1601. Being able to match up with everyone.
  1602.  
  1603. Serika...
  1604. I think that as well.
  1605.  
  1606. Lives are a team effort,
  1607. You need people acting in unity with about the same skills.
  1608. I don't have much stage experience, but that's how I feel about it.
  1609.  
  1610. Now that you mention it, Tsubasa isn't very cooperative and gets selfish sometimes.
  1611. I wonder if that came out during her dance.
  1612.  
  1613. Well, we don't know all the details,
  1614. But I think that teamwork is the crux of a live, too.
  1615.  
  1616. ---
  1617.  
  1618. Tsubasa's style is certainly captivating to the eyes.
  1619. However,
  1620. If you're going to work as part of the Theater, that alone isn't enough.
  1621.  
  1622. ...Forget that! I'm not one to be lecturing on something like this!
  1623. (You embarrassed, Nao-chan?)
  1624. (Quiet, you!)
  1625. As a part of the Theater...huh.
  1626.  
  1627. But...if you're an idol that's aiming for the top,
  1628. Is that really the correct way to think about it?
  1629.  
  1630. ---
  1631.  
  1632. Miki thinks that you're not a good match as our dancer.
  1633.  
  1634. Yeah! A strike!
  1635. That's amazing, Subaru!
  1636.  
  1637. Next is your turn.
  1638. Tsubasa?
  1639. Huh? Yeah.
  1640. HEY!
  1641.  
  1642. ---
  1643.  
  1644. No bowling in the hallway!
  1645. Geh, Kotoha!?
  1646. (Run away!)
  1647.  
  1648. ...Phew.
  1649. Why is Kotoha-san so strict about that?
  1650. She's like my grandpa.
  1651.  
  1652. Side Note: How do you relax when you're tired?
  1653.  
  1654. ---
  1655.  
  1656. Mi~zuki-chan,
  1657. What are you doing~?
  1658. Ibuki-san.
  1659.  
  1660. This is...the creation of a card tower.
  1661. Would you like to try it?
  1662.  
  1663. As you build it higher, you feel a nice sense of accomplishment.
  1664. (Huh)
  1665.  
  1666. Side Note: Shizuka - I take a bath and don't think about anything.
  1667.  
  1668. ---
  1669.  
  1670. Ah.
  1671.  
  1672. Aww~
  1673. Ho ho ho, it is unexpectedly difficult.
  1674.  
  1675. The trick is to do it gently and speedily,
  1676. And have them support each other naturally. Tada.
  1677.  
  1678. Wo~w, you sure are dexterous~
  1679.  
  1680. Side Note: Tsubasa - Hmm~...I don't really get tired, but eating sweet things makes me happy!
  1681.  
  1682. ---
  1683.  
  1684. A sigh...
  1685.  
  1686. That's rare to see from you.
  1687. You haven't been particularly lively since the day of the audition.
  1688.  
  1689. ...I totally wanted to be chosen, after all.
  1690.  
  1691. I watched it as well.
  1692. Your dancing was very impressive. (Here)
  1693. I know, right~!? I thought that, too!
  1694.  
  1695. But Miki-senpai said no.
  1696. I wonder what I did wrong?
  1697.  
  1698. Heya.
  1699.  
  1700. ---
  1701.  
  1702. You here, Mizuki?
  1703.  
  1704. Indeed.
  1705. Mizuki is present.
  1706. Juliano!
  1707.  
  1708. I'm not "Juliano", it's "Julia"!
  1709. Either's fine~! Hey, can we go have fun~?
  1710. It's not okay, and I'm not playing! Sit down!
  1711.  
  1712. Actually, it would be faster if you were here as well.
  1713. Have a moment to have a talk?
  1714. Okay by me.
  1715. Huh? Come on, what? A love story~?
  1716.  
  1717. The back chorus? (You say)
  1718.  
  1719. ---
  1720.  
  1721. Yeah, for the solo song I'm playing at the regular live.
  1722. I was thinking of adding a minor chorus this time around.
  1723. I asked the producer and he said to ask you guys.
  1724. Would be nice if you'd do it.
  1725.  
  1726. I'm okay with that.
  1727.  
  1728. A live, right?
  1729. I was wanting to sing something, anyway. (music note)
  1730. (I like Juliano's songs, too)
  1731. Don't treat someone's stage performance like karaoke...
  1732.  
  1733. I'll do it, too. (Yes)
  1734. As it seems very interesting.
  1735.  
  1736. Sweet! Thanks, you two!
  1737. I'll treat you to something sometime!
  1738. I'll have steak!
  1739. For me, French cuisine...just kidding.
  1740.  
  1741. Side Note: Julia - Listening and singing along to music I like calms me down. Like some wild rock music!
  1742.  
  1743. ---
  1744.  
  1745. Back chorus?
  1746. Yeah, Juliano asked me to do it.
  1747. You have a solo of your own as well, are you sure you're okay with another song?
  1748. No problem! (music note)
  1749.  
  1750. I really want to sing a lot right now, after all!
  1751. Don't treat this as some kind of karaoke...
  1752.  
  1753. I'm off to practice, then.
  1754. Bye bye, Shizuka-chan!
  1755.  
  1756. Tsubasa!
  1757. Don't say anything selfish and cause problems!
  1758.  
  1759. Yea~h!
  1760.  
  1761. Side Note: Umi - If you're tired, I recommend doing yoga! You do this, and...look, the corpse pose!
  1762.  
  1763. ---
  1764.  
  1765. I told you already,
  1766. Don't go vibrato there.
  1767. I said to also match your accent with mine, right?
  1768. Aww~ But the singing was pretty good this time~
  1769.  
  1770. You're the chorus, and I'm the main vocals. Don't just sing like you want it, match it with mine, okay?
  1771.  
  1772. We~ll, not really, but...
  1773. Okay!
  1774.  
  1775. ---
  1776.  
  1777. Don't "okay" me!
  1778. If your head doesn't understand it, then it's just going to happen again.
  1779. But I really don't get what you're saying...
  1780. Can't we just go with it?
  1781. Come on... How do you even do your usual lessons?
  1782.  
  1783. The usual?
  1784. I always just sing and it works out.
  1785.  
  1786. Then I'll explain it again, so listen.
  1787.  
  1788. First...
  1789. Juliano, I'm getting a little tired of this.
  1790.  
  1791. I know~ (music note)
  1792. I'll have a snack downstai~rs,
  1793. We'll continue later!
  1794.  
  1795. Side Note: Ayumu - Don't you just take a bath and sleep it off? Sleep for the day and the fatigue's gone!
  1796.  
  1797. ---
  1798.  
  1799. Tsubasa...
  1800.  
  1801. I'm the one who decided to have the chorus, you know?
  1802. So don't do it halfheartedly.
  1803.  
  1804. Personally,
  1805. I hate people who don't honor their word the most.
  1806.  
  1807. ---
  1808.  
  1809. No need to worry though, since we'll work it out with enough practice.
  1810. I'm the one that asked, after all.
  1811. I'll stick with it to the end.
  1812.  
  1813. It's been nothing but "don't do this" and "don't do that"...
  1814.  
  1815. I going for a break.
  1816. Hey! Tsubasa!
  1817. We're still talking!
  1818.  
  1819. ---
  1820.  
  1821. There.
  1822.  
  1823. (Wow)
  1824.  
  1825. It's magic.
  1826. Tada.
  1827.  
  1828. ---
  1829.  
  1830. Here you go, Julia-san.
  1831. Uh, okay.
  1832.  
  1833. Ibuki-san, I believe you're tired from that audition the other day.
  1834. Shall we take a break for today, then?
  1835.  
  1836. ...Alright, got it.
  1837.  
  1838. Going to cool my head.
  1839. Break's for one hour.
  1840.  
  1841.  
  1842. ---
  1843.  
  1844. Rehearsal the day before the regular live
  1845.  
  1846. Okay, the third song, Pretty Dreamer, looks good.
  1847. Mochizuki-san, please prepare for your next one.
  1848. (Okay!)
  1849.  
  1850. Mirai!
  1851. (Let's wipe up that sweat properly)
  1852.  
  1853. Shizuka-chan! Did you see me perform!? (Yaay)
  1854. Yes, it was excellent! And cute!
  1855. (That song suits you perfectly!)
  1856.  
  1857. Your movements were crisp, so I take it you practiced quite a bit?
  1858. Ehehe~
  1859. Fuuka-san taught me really gently~
  1860. This is more thanks to your hard work than what I did. (Aren't you affectionate (heart))
  1861.  
  1862. I'll need to keep up, too. (Dancing, too!)
  1863. What!?
  1864.  
  1865. ---
  1866.  
  1867. What do you mean, you're late!?
  1868. Julia-san, I'll take it. (Please start preparing)
  1869.  
  1870. Ibuki-san? It's Mizuki.
  1871. ...I see.
  1872. What's going on? (She angry?)
  1873. Probably because of Tsubasa...
  1874.  
  1875. That's enough, Mizuki,
  1876. We'll just do it ourselves.
  1877.  
  1878. Julia-san...
  1879. Excuse me! We'll do it without Tsubasa for now!
  1880.  
  1881. ---
  1882.  
  1883. It's a guitar.
  1884. Is this your first time seeing Julia perform?
  1885.  
  1886. You'll be surprised.
  1887.  
  1888. ---
  1889.  
  1890. [Rock]
  1891.  
  1892. ---
  1893.  
  1894. Julia-chan's as wonderful as always~!
  1895. Wow! Cool! Coool!
  1896. Julia-san was originally the vocalist for a band.
  1897.  
  1898. She's pretty unique in the Theater,
  1899. Writing her own songs and performing them.
  1900.  
  1901. I think...
  1902. She the most sincere regarding music out of anyone.
  1903.  
  1904. ---
  1905.  
  1906. JU-LI-A-san!
  1907. Do you like strawberry milk?
  1908.  
  1909. ...Don't hate it.
  1910.  
  1911. Then here you go!
  1912. It just came out and I recommend it~!
  1913.  
  1914. Uh...
  1915. You're the newbie, err...
  1916. It's Mirai! Kasuga Mirai!
  1917. I really liked your guitar performance!
  1918.  
  1919. The guitar, huh? If you're interested, I can teach you.
  1920. Really~!? Yay!
  1921.  
  1922. ---
  1923.  
  1924. Umm...
  1925. Good morning~.
  1926. Sorry for being la~te.
  1927.  
  1928. Morning, Tsubasa.
  1929. Tsubasa! You should really stop this habit of coming late!
  1930.  
  1931. Tsubasa...
  1932. We need to talk.
  1933.  
  1934. Face-to-face.
  1935.  
  1936. ---
  1937.  
  1938. Chapter 13 - Praline
  1939.  
  1940. The rock singer, Julia. Contained within her songs - her soul.
  1941.  
  1942. ---
  1943.  
  1944. ...A talk?
  1945.  
  1946. Umm, I'm sorry, Juliano,
  1947. I stayed up late last night, and I couldn't wake up...
  1948. First off,
  1949.  
  1950. Go to rehearsal.
  1951. Apologize to the staff.
  1952. I'll be waiting here.
  1953.  
  1954. ---
  1955.  
  1956. Tsubasa,
  1957. Come on.
  1958. Yeah...
  1959.  
  1960. (Um)
  1961. Julia-san,
  1962. can I sit in on your conversation with Ibuki-san?
  1963. Mizuki...
  1964. Nah,
  1965.  
  1966. You'd just go easy on her. This is something that needs to be said seriously.
  1967.  
  1968. It's not like I don't get it.
  1969.  
  1970. Side Note: When do you finish your summer homework?
  1971.  
  1972. ---
  1973.  
  1974. I have my times when I think I'm not like an idol.
  1975. But because of that feeling,
  1976. I at least want to be serious when it comes to the songs.
  1977.  
  1978. You and Tsubasa are my teammates in the next stage performance,
  1979. So I'd like you two to understand as well.
  1980. And to do it seriously.
  1981.  
  1982. ...The other day,
  1983.  
  1984. There was an audition to choose the back dancers of Hoshii-san and her unit.
  1985. Yeah?
  1986.  
  1987. Ibuki-san's dancing was superb,
  1988. And it was like it changed the atmosphere of the room.
  1989.  
  1990. ---
  1991.  
  1992. When I happened to look at her while she was on standby,
  1993.  
  1994. I saw that her eyes, watching everyone's dancing,
  1995. Were very earnest.
  1996.  
  1997. It may not look like that usually,
  1998. But that was certainly a serious expression then.
  1999.  
  2000. Well,
  2001. Wasn't that just because it was for the tour?
  2002. Julia-san.
  2003.  
  2004. Please...
  2005. Take another good look,
  2006. And try facing Ibuki-san anew.
  2007.  
  2008. Side Note: Mirai - I take care of it all before August! ...Oh, you could tell I was lying?
  2009.  
  2010. ---
  2011.  
  2012. Meaning,
  2013. I haven't faced her properly yet?
  2014.  
  2015. Come to think of it,
  2016. She interacts with me a lot, but I started a conversation from my end before.
  2017. (Juliano, let's go play!)
  2018. I don't really get what she's thinking.
  2019.  
  2020. Producer was the one that assigned those two to be my chorus,
  2021. So it's not like I personally chose Tsubasa.
  2022.  
  2023. Telling her to just match up with me,
  2024. May have been a bit...rude.
  2025.  
  2026. Honestly...huh.
  2027.  
  2028. Side Note: Arisa - As someone good at managing databases, Arisa finishes her homework in no time!
  2029. Subaru - It happens one way or another, though it does get rather close...though maybe not by the opening ceremony.
  2030.  
  2031. ---
  2032.  
  2033. Um, Juliano?
  2034.  
  2035. I'm sorry...are you angry?
  2036. Um...I apologized to the staff.
  2037. Shizuka-chan and Producer-san also got mad at me...
  2038. (They alright?)
  2039.  
  2040. As long as you apologized.
  2041. Don't do it again, okay?
  2042.  
  2043. Oka~y!
  2044. I'll be careful~
  2045. Hey, wait! Tsubasa!
  2046.  
  2047. Side Note: Serika - I go on a trip with my family during summer vacation, so I finish it before then!
  2048.  
  2049. ---
  2050.  
  2051. (Is she still angry?)
  2052.  
  2053. (A fight?)
  2054. (Should I get Producer-san?)
  2055. (Is this alright?)
  2056.  
  2057. (This is tough to do...)
  2058.  
  2059. Well...
  2060. For now, how about going outside?
  2061.  
  2062. Ehe, this is the first time I've gone out with you, Juliano! (Where are we going?)
  2063. Well, I wouldn't call it that. (And it's "Julia"!)
  2064.  
  2065. How about meeting face-to-face?
  2066.  
  2067. ---
  2068.  
  2069. So,
  2070. You have anywhere you want to go?
  2071. Huh?
  2072. I get to pick~?
  2073. Then...
  2074.  
  2075. Tada!
  2076. Is it cute?
  2077.  
  2078. Huh?
  2079. ...Yeah.
  2080. I guess.
  2081.  
  2082. Juliano, that's so half-hearted!
  2083. I don't really get outfits like that.
  2084.  
  2085. ---
  2086.  
  2087. Do you go to this place often?
  2088.  
  2089. Yeah!
  2090. Because Miki-senpai said she liked this outfit!
  2091. Look, it's the skirt from the magazine!
  2092.  
  2093. She went blue, so I'll chose pink.
  2094. Ehe.
  2095.  
  2096. Oh, that one!
  2097.  
  2098. This would look good on you!
  2099. Hey hey, how about trying it on?
  2100.  
  2101. Side Note: Mizuki - I do it all at once on 8/31. ...I enjoy the thrill.
  2102.  
  2103. ---
  2104.  
  2105. Huh!? I can't wear something frilly like that!
  2106. Aww~ Why not~? And then pair it with this!
  2107. No no no no!
  2108.  
  2109. (Please don't cause a fuss in the store...)
  2110. (Sorry...)
  2111.  
  2112. It was your fault they got mad at us.
  2113. Huh~? My fault~?
  2114.  
  2115. You should wear a skirt once in a while.
  2116. People that look good with those should wear them.
  2117. I have my own preferences.
  2118.  
  2119. Side Note: You're on the roof of a building. Yell out something!
  2120.  
  2121. ---
  2122.  
  2123. Hey, Juliano?
  2124. Hmm? (Actually pretty good)
  2125.  
  2126. Why are you working as an idol?
  2127.  
  2128. I'm wondering what it means to be an idol.
  2129.  
  2130. ---
  2131.  
  2132. Actually...I don't really know.
  2133.  
  2134. It just happened,
  2135. And it's going to take a while to explain why,
  2136. But I can't become an idol like everyone else.
  2137.  
  2138. Not too good with dancing in a skirt.
  2139. (Huh.) I think that skirt totally would have fit you, though.
  2140.  
  2141. No matter what you wear, you're going to be the usual Juliano on stage,
  2142. So just look around the venue and smile like this.
  2143.  
  2144. (For me, I...)
  2145.  
  2146. Tsubasa's been watching that part of me, huh.
  2147. (Maybe a leather-starred skirt, and...)
  2148.  
  2149. Alright!
  2150. Where are going next!?
  2151. I'll hang out with you all day today!
  2152. Really~!?
  2153. I love you, Juliano!
  2154.  
  2155. ---
  2156.  
  2157. (Woof woof!)
  2158.  
  2159. Side Note: Julia - STOP ASKING WHAT MY REAL NAME IS!
  2160.  
  2161. ---
  2162.  
  2163. Getting pretty tired now.
  2164. Ehehe,
  2165. Please wear that ring I gave you!
  2166. The toy one.
  2167.  
  2168. It would have been a date if you were a guy.
  2169.  
  2170. Side Note: I WANT TO BE REALLY POPULAR!
  2171.  
  2172. ---
  2173.  
  2174. Don't say such weird things!
  2175. But aren't dates nice?
  2176.  
  2177. If I become a popular idol, I'll definitely become popular myself. (Looking forward to it)
  2178.  
  2179. Ehe,
  2180. Maybe I'll be a step closer to Miki-senpai after wearing this skirt. (music note)
  2181.  
  2182. You sure do like Miki. (Mizuki told me)
  2183. You put your all into that dance for the audition, huh?
  2184.  
  2185. ...
  2186. ...Yeah.
  2187.  
  2188. Side Note: Shizuka - IT'S NOT LIKE I'M ALWAYS ANGRY OR ANYTHING!
  2189.  
  2190. ---
  2191.  
  2192. What? You got depressed by it or something?
  2193. No problem if you just try at it again the next time.
  2194.  
  2195. How well did you think you did that day?
  2196. Thought it was no good?
  2197. No, it was really good! The best I did so far!
  2198.  
  2199. Then that's enough for now,
  2200. The important thing is what you got from it rather than what other people thought.
  2201.  
  2202. Juliano, you say some odd things sometimes.
  2203. Wha...I said something really good just now...
  2204.  
  2205. ---
  2206.  
  2207. I want to become an idol like Miki-senpai, after all.
  2208. So being told no by her makes me sad.
  2209.  
  2210. ---
  2211.  
  2212. What song is that?
  2213. It's the first song I made.
  2214. It's still incomplete, and doesn't have a title or lyrics.
  2215.  
  2216. Hey, Tsubasa...
  2217.  
  2218. I like making music, but I still need to work on my technique and taste.
  2219. However, my songs are mine alone.
  2220. Something that only I can make.
  2221.  
  2222. It's the same as being an idol, right?
  2223. Even if you wear the same outfit,
  2224. You won't become Miki just like that.
  2225.

  2227.  
  2228. Juliano,
  2229. Isn't that obvious~?
  2230.  
  2231. (Hmm?)
  2232.  
  2233. But you said you wanted to become like Miki...
  2234. Of course, Miki-senpai is my role model,
  2235. But my voice and face are different, so I obviously can't become her~
  2236. I'm myself, after all.
  2237.  
  2238. So I'll do my best to copy things like her dancing,
  2239. And I'd like to become a top idol someday from that.
  2240. Then every day wouldn't have any worries or tough things, just being popular...and sparkling...
  2241.  
  2242. ---
  2243.  
  2244. Surely...That would be the greatest life there is to live.
  2245. That's my dream.
  2246.  
  2247. (Hup)
  2248.  
  2249. What a stupid dream.
  2250.  
  2251. ---
  2252.  
  2253. The top idols that smile on the stage,
  2254. It's not like they're free of hardships or worries underneath.
  2255. The future she thought up with nothing but fun doesn't exist.
  2256.  
  2257. Everyone knows that.
  2258.  
  2259. The fans that support them realize that. (Thanks!)
  2260. Idols aren't just about dreams.
  2261.  
  2262. It's not a world where you reach the top by copying others,
  2263. It's an empty dream in every sense of the word.
  2264.  
  2265. Ah...
  2266. But...
  2267.  
  2268. ---
  2269.  
  2270. Those eyes are so pure...
  2271.  
  2272. ---
  2273.  
  2274. Hey!
  2275.  
  2276. That makeup of yours!
  2277. How many times do I have to tell you it's against the rules!?
  2278. The guitar, too! Things that aren't necessary for coursework will be confiscated!
  2279.  
  2280. ---
  2281.  
  2282. I'll decide myself what's necessary.
  2283. Everything, whether it's fashion, way of living, and what I like.
  2284.  
  2285. I'm going to become the world's top rock singer!
  2286. So I'm not handing over this guitar.
  2287.  
  2288. (What kind of tone is that to speak to a teacher with!?)
  2289. (Shut it, stupid!)
  2290. So stupid...
  2291. So stupid that I forgot.
  2292.  
  2293. ---
  2294.  
  2295. It's simply a fourteen-year old girl's eyes...
  2296. Looking at dreams of the future.
  2297.  
  2298. ---
  2299.  
  2300. Alright, Tsubasa! It's about time to end things for today!
  2301. Where are we going?
  2302. I'd like to sing my heart out at karaoke!
  2303.  
  2304. Thought you'd say that.
  2305.  
  2306. Follow me,
  2307. I'll show you something better than karaoke.
  2308.  
  2309. ---
  2310.  
  2311. Shizuka-chaaan!
  2312.  
  2313. Mirai, you're heading home?
  2314. Ehehe, I was buying a new hairclip for the live tomorrow.
  2315.  
  2316. Waiting for the bus? Let's go back together.
  2317. Shh!
  2318.  
  2319. What's the matter?
  2320. Wait, this voice is...
  2321.  
  2322. ---
  2323.  
  2324. [Public acts of Tsubasa]
  2325.  
  2326. ---
  2327.  
  2328. [Cont'd]
  2329.  
  2330. ---
  2331.  
  2332. That Tsubasa,
  2333. She sings with a pretty good feeling.
  2334.  
  2335. I didn't realize it when we were practicing the chorus.
  2336. No...
  2337. Maybe it's because I wasn't watching her?
  2338.  
  2339. If you gently lead,
  2340.  
  2341. She innocently follows behind you.
  2342.  
  2343. Side Note: CALORIES ARE...YOUR FRIEND!
  2344.  
  2345. ---
  2346.  
  2347. Like　being set free into the sky...
  2348. A feeling of soaring that high up.
  2349.  
  2350. ---
  2351.  
  2352. All set.
  2353.  
  2354. Sorry to have you two help tidy up.
  2355. No problem!
  2356. That performance was really amazing!
  2357.  
  2358. Take care going home, you two.
  2359. Huh? Where are you going...? (Station's that way)
  2360. We're heading back to the Theater for a bit.
  2361.  
  2362. Tomorrow's live...
  2363. A storm's going to occur.
  2364.  
  2365. Side Note: Shiho - ...Um, I don't like to yell out things.
  2366.  
  2367. ---
  2368.  
  2369. Chapter 14 - Airu
  2370.  
  2371. We'll dazzle you with this rock performance!
  2372. ...Don't fall in love, okay?
  2373.  
  2374. ---
  2375.  
  2376. It's time.
  2377.  
  2378. ---
  2379.  
  2380. Mizuki.
  2381. (Yes)
  2382.  
  2383. Tsubasa.
  2384.  
  2385. I appreciate you two sticking with my selfishness.
  2386. It's been a while since I've been this excited.
  2387.  
  2388. Juliano, you're so pushy when it comes to music~!
  2389. It shocked Producer-san so much! (Ahaha)
  2390. (Ho ho)
  2391. It should have been you guys to be shocked and worried more...
  2392.  
  2393. You played with me yesterday, after all!
  2394. So...What was it?
  2395. I'll do my best to match my singing with yours.
  2396.  
  2397. Dummy.
  2398.  
  2399. ---
  2400.  
  2401. Tsubasa,
  2402. You sing like you want to.
  2403. And don't even think about matching with me.
  2404.  
  2405. But you said to do that earlier.
  2406. The conditions were different back then.
  2407.  
  2408. You're the lead of this song, Tsubasa.
  2409. That's how I made it.
  2410.  
  2411. ---
  2412.  
  2413. Go all out,
  2414. Mizuki and I will watch your back, so just face forward.
  2415. (V)
  2416.  
  2417. From when this song starts until it ends,
  2418. In that time alone,
  2419. That's our teamwork.
  2420.  
  2421. Side Note: What do you like in your miso soup?
  2422.  
  2423. Aww~, come on...
  2424.  
  2425. Does anyone know where my blusher is?
  2426. Matsuri-san, I'll help fix your makeup.
  2427. Thank you, Yuriko-chan.
  2428.  
  2429. Yuriko, I'm going on ahead.
  2430. Huh? But there's still some time left.
  2431.  
  2432. I'd like to see this next song.
  2433.  
  2434. Phew~
  2435. We're not too late, are we?
  2436.  
  2437. Side Note: Mirai - I like seaweed! It's hard to grab the tofu, so I don't like it too much!
  2438. Julia - Miso soup!? Nothing but Japanese questions. ...I like things like spinach. Why not!?
  2439.  
  2440. ---
  2441.  
  2442. 'Sup, Shizuka! Are the guests fired up?
  2443. (Hamuzou-chan! (music note))
  2444. (We're back!)
  2445. Elena-san and Elena-san!? And even Miki-san...!?
  2446.  
  2447. I thought the tour members had a television recording today...
  2448. Yeah! It ended and we hurried right over. (Hot!)
  2449. (Miki, we're here!)
  2450.  
  2451. The Theater's our home, after all!
  2452.  
  2453. We're not performing, but I'm interested in their performances, so can we watch from above?
  2454.  
  2455. These are the box seats!
  2456. We weren't using the second story today, so it's a good chance.
  2457.  
  2458. Let's watch together, Takane-san! (Over here!)
  2459. The view is superb, Umi.
  2460. (Where is Hamuzou-chan's battery, I wonder?)
  2461. (Hamuzou is not a toy!)
  2462.  
  2463. Who's next, Shizuka?
  2464. Next is...
  2465.  
  2466. Side Note: Matsuri - Hime enjoys a clear broth soup with matsutake mushrooms over miso soup! (music note) ...It's about the season for it, right? Right?
  2467. Hinata - Miso soup with potatoes is so sweet and delicious~ Maybe I'll make some soon.
  2468.  
  2469. ---
  2470.  
  2471. Julia-san's song.
  2472.  
  2473. Tsubasa's there. (Afu)
  2474. Oh, Tsubasa is part of the chorus together with Mizuki-san.
  2475.  
  2476. ---
  2477.  
  2478. Tsubasa's the chorus, huh. That's a little unexpected.
  2479. Yes.
  2480.  
  2481. Right after the back dancer audition,
  2482. Producer probably wanted to use this opportunity to teach Tsubasa how to be a team player.
  2483. That's what I thought, but...
  2484.  
  2485. But?
  2486. Well, Tsubasa was late to yesterday's rehearsal,
  2487. And because of that, Julia-san was in bad spirits and it soured the mood.
  2488.  
  2489. Ah, gotcha.
  2490. Did they manage to work that out?
  2491. Yes, probably...
  2492.  
  2493. Side Note: Wheat gluten! It makes your body more flexible if you eat it. (music note) ...That's not it?
  2494.  
  2495. ---
  2496.  
  2497. That evening, they had a live performance.
  2498. In front of the station.
  2499.  
  2500. It seemed that Julia-san realized something during it,
  2501. And took Tsubasa back to the Theater.
  2502.  
  2503. Tsubasa...always exceeds my expectations. That's always been the case...
  2504. So this time, something is definitely going to happen, too. I have a feeling.
  2505.  
  2506. So...
  2507.  
  2508. ---
  2509.  
  2510. The song we're singing today,
  2511. Is a new one just finished yesterday.
  2512.  
  2513. Yesterday!?
  2514. A new song...?
  2515.  
  2516. Originally, it was an incomplete song with no title or lyrics.
  2517. But yesterday, a certain young girl gave this song wings.
  2518.  
  2519. That's enough talk, so please listen.
  2520. Counting on you, then,
  2521.  
  2522. Main vocals!
  2523.  
  2524. Side Note: Are you the telephone or texting type?
  2525.  
  2526. ---
  2527.  
  2528. Tsubasa's the center?
  2529. Not the chorus...
  2530.  
  2531. ---
  2532.  
  2533. Here goes,
  2534. The new song...
  2535.  
  2536. "Airu"
  2537.  
  2538. Side Note: Shizuka - I prefer using the phone. Emotions are conveyed more easily over a direct conversation.
  2539. Tsubasa - Texting is faster and more convenient, but hearing each other's voices over the phone is fun (music note)
  2540.  
  2541. ---
  2542.  
  2543. ...A new song.
  2544.  
  2545. For tomorrow's live...you say.
  2546. Yeah.
  2547.  
  2548. It came to me while I was singing with Tsubasa.
  2549. Like "That's it!"
  2550. And that I needed to give this song form.
  2551.  
  2552. I know that this is sudden,
  2553. But...
  2554.  
  2555. Understood.
  2556.  
  2557. ---
  2558.  
  2559. I think it'll work.
  2560. I'll sing it, too.
  2561.  
  2562. What is it?
  2563.  
  2564. Well, I was expecting you to be more surprised.
  2565. It's tomorrow, you know? It's normal to be a bit more concerned.
  2566.  
  2567. ...As you've stated...
  2568. Despite how I look, I am very surprised. ...Ba-dump ba-dump.
  2569.  
  2570. It's just,
  2571. Actually...
  2572.  
  2573. ---
  2574.  
  2575. I like to gamble.
  2576.  
  2577. (This one, or that?)
  2578. (Let's see) (Headband: Fight on)
  2579.  
  2580. ---
  2581.  
  2582. Dreams...
  2583. I'll show you them.
  2584.  
  2585. ---
  2586.  
  2587. [Music]
  2588.  
  2589. ---
  2590.  
  2591. [Imagery]
  2592.  
  2593. ---
  2594.  
  2595. W-...woah.
  2596.  
  2597. ---
  2598.  
  2599. I didn't know Tsubasa-chan could sing like that~ (Yay!)
  2600. Pretty impressive when she gets serious!
  2601.  
  2602. Tsubasa isn't just serious in her singing!
  2603. No!
  2604.  
  2605. The true moment...starts here.
  2606.  
  2607. ---
  2608.  
  2609. [Sick idol tricks]
  2610.  
  2611. ---
  2612.  
  2613. (Tsubasa!)
  2614. (Jy!)
  2615.  
  2616. Good, Tsubasa!
  2617.  
  2618. More! Fly even higher!
  2619.  
  2620. ---
  2621.  
  2622. More selfishly!
  2623. Free to go wherever you choose!
  2624.  
  2625. With Mizuki and I,
  2626. Your two wings...
  2627.  
  2628. Enthrall the entire world!
  2629.  
  2630. Yep,
  2631. It's just as Miki thought...
  2632.  
  2633. ---
  2634.  
  2635. Tsubasa isn't a good match for Miki's dancer.
  2636.  
  2637. (Chizuru, good work today!)
  2638.  
  2639. Miki-senpaaai!
  2640.  
  2641. Senpai!
  2642.  
  2643. Side Note: Anna - ...Anna prefers chat. There's a log, too.
  2644. Yuriko - I prefer chat...ah, no, texting! Right! Nothing to do with online games!
  2645.  
  2646. ---
  2647.  
  2648. You came today~!
  2649. Hey, hey! Did you see me perform?
  2650. I thought it was pretty good!
  2651.  
  2652. Miki thought it was good, too.
  2653.  
  2654. Really!?
  2655. Then can you take me on your tour?
  2656. That's a no.
  2657.  
  2658. The new song was good,
  2659. But the chorus afterwards,
  2660. Was really terrible.
  2661. I feel sorry for Julia.
  2662.  
  2663. Side Note: Mizuki - I haven't done either, so I wouldn't know. ...That was a joke.
  2664.  
  2665. ---
  2666.  
  2667. That was...well, I was still excited from earlier, and couldn't calm down... (Yay!)
  2668.  
  2669. Let's see...
  2670. When you're able to sing that chorus perfectly,
  2671. I might let you be my dancer then, maybe.
  2672.  
  2673. ...?
  2674.  
  2675. The chorus? But that has nothing to do with being a background dancer.
  2676. Hey, Miki-senpai.
  2677. Are you listening?
  2678.  
  2679. Senpa-...
  2680.  
  2681. ---
  2682.  
  2683. When you become a little more of an adult,
  2684. You'll definitely understand.
  2685.  
  2686. (Bye, then!) (You can have that)
  2687.  
  2688. ---
  2689.  
  2690. Julia.
  2691.  
  2692. Good work.
  2693. That was an impressive performance.
  2694. Producer, (Thanks)
  2695. Sorry for asking the impossible this time around.
  2696.  
  2697. How about sleeping for a bit? You stayed up all last night, didn't you?
  2698. I guess,
  2699. This is more about having to deal with Tsubasa for two days, you know?
  2700. Totally worn out.
  2701. (Eyelids are heavy)
  2702.  
  2703. ---
  2704.  
  2705. I won't ask what reason you had to pair me together with Tsubasa,
  2706. But would you say that this was outside of your expectations, at least?
  2707.  
  2708. ...That's right.
  2709.  
  2710. Singing a chorus, and performing a new song...
  2711. I ended up using Tsubasa in all sorts of ways.
  2712. Sheesh, what am I doing?
  2713.  
  2714. Copying an adult's not bad,
  2715. But it might be about time to open my eyes already and chase after a new dream.
  2716.  
  2717. Julia, does this mean...
  2718.  
  2719. Producer
  2720.  
  2721. ---
  2722.  
  2723. -san!
  2724. Woah
  2725.  
  2726. Tsubasa, what's up? (Cough)
  2727. Producer-san! I have a request!
  2728.  
  2729. Please hurry and make me an adult~.
  2730.  
  2731. T-T-Tsubasa! What in the world are you saying!?
  2732. Miki-senpai said she's take me on the tour if I become on!
  2733. Hey, it's okay, right? (Can't you?)
  2734.  
  2735. ...Tsubasa.
  2736.  
  2737. ---
  2738.  
  2739. Let's go celebrate!
  2740. Anything you want to eat!? (Anything!?)
  2741. I'd like to have some meat! (Yes)
  2742.  
  2743. Then I'll have entrails. (When did you!?)
  2744.  
  2745. I shall introduce you to a favorite yakiniku establishment of mine. (High quality and low cost)
  2746.  
  2747. Celebrations just gotta have meat!
  2748. Producer, I'm hungry!
  2749. Pro-chan, did you call Akane-chan just now~?
  2750.  
  2751. Boss, we finished changing!
  2752. I'd like a place that serves ice cream.
  2753. Such a child.
  2754.  
  2755. ...Alright!
  2756.  
  2757. ---
  2758.  
  2759. We're having meat!
  2760. Everyone get ready!
  2761. (Wow!)
  2762.  
  2763. (Kalbi)
  2764. (Roasts)
  2765.  
  2766. Tsubasa...
  2767. What is it, Juliano?
  2768. (It's "Julia".)
  2769.  
  2770. How about teaching me how to dance sometime?
  2771.

  2776.  
  2777. Mooooooom!
  2778. Welcome back, Mirai. (Did you wash your hands?)
  2779.  
  2780. Mom!
  2781. I...I...!
  2782.  
  2783. ---
  2784.  
  2785. I might!
  2786. Have a CD debut!

  2788.  
  2789. Side Note: What would you like for a Christmas present?
  2790.  
  2791. ---
  2792.  
  2793. It's a good song.
  2794.  
  2795. Ehehe~ You think that, too?
  2796. Yes, it's lively and energetic.
  2797. It may be unfinished, but I think it's perfect for you.

  2800.  
  2801. Excuse me!
  2802. Mogami-senpai!
  2803.  
  2804. A first year? What is it?
  2805. Oh, I-I...
  2806. Became a fan of yours after watching your performance at the culture festival, and...
  2807.  
  2808. Your song and voice were! V-very wonderful,
  2809. And...
  2810. I bought your CD, and...
  2811. (Umm x 2)
  2812.  
  2813. Is it okay if...you could sign it?
  2814.  
  2815. Side Note: Shizuka - A new cell phone...I guess. I've been talking over the phone at nights more recently...fufu (music note)
  2816.  
  2817. ---
  2818.  
  2819. (Thank you so much!)
  2820.  
  2821. (See you later!)
  2822.  
  2823. You seem really happy.
  2824. Good for you.
  2825. N-no, I...
  2826.  
  2827. I'm not really...used to things like this. (Got nervous...)
  2828.  
  2829. I-It's about time to head to the gymnasium.
  2830. Come on, Mirai! We'll be late for the closing ceremony.
  2831. Oka~y.
  2832.  
  2833. It's summer vacation starting tomorrow.
  2834.  
  2835. Side Note: Megumi - A shockingly large amount of food tickets, for 10,000 yen! ...Think that's too much to ask?
  2836.  
  2837. ---
  2838.  
  2839. I've decided! This summer, I'll...
  2840. Do my best as an idol!
  2841.  
  2842. (Okay, one more time)
  2843. (Aah)
  2844.  
  2845. (Idol Notebook)
  2846.  
  2847. Side Note: Roco - For Christmas, a real time roconization of Happy Turn-(Character limit reached)
  2848.  
  2849. ---
  2850.  
  2851. Day of the recording
  2852.  
  2853. ---
  2854.  
  2855. (Heh) Is this your first time at a recording?
  2856. You nervous?
  2857. Yes, not at all!
  2858.  
  2859. Kasuga Mirai, 14 years old! Thanks for working with me today!
  2860.  
  2861. You've got a nice liveliness.
  2862. Let's go ahead and start singing, then.
  2863. Okay!
  2864.  
  2865. ---
  2866.  
  2867. Side Note: Shiho - Recently, I saw a cute cat bag, so...ah! I was kidding just now, just kidding!
  2868.  
  2869. Okay,
  2870. Stop.
  2871.  
  2872. ---
  2873.  
  2874. Watch your timing when you come in.
  2875. Let's start again.
  2876. Understood!
  2877.  
  2878. (Watch the timing...)
  2879.  
  2880. Hmm...
  2881.  
  2882. ---
  2883.  
  2884. I think it's better if you don't extend the end of that.
  2885. Try smoothly ending it.
  2886. Smoothly? I'll try!
  2887.  
  2888. That's a bit too much,
  2889. Try doing it in a more natural way, like talking. (One more time)
  2890.  
  2891. (Okay!) This part is full of power and energy.
  2892. That's more wild than showing energy... (One more)
  2893.  
  2894. Next up is playfully and prancing.
  2895.  
  2896. No, you don't actually have to prance... (Not with the body, but in the song...)
  2897. Huh!?
  2898. What?
  2899.  
  2900. ---
  2901.  
  2902. Okay, closer together.
  2903.  
  2904. That's good,
  2905. Try lightly touching your face with your hand.
  2906. Yeah, like that.
  2907.  
  2908. ---
  2909.  
  2910. Phew...
  2911.  
  2912. I'm tired.
  2913. But today's outfit is pretty cute.
  2914. I prefer yours with the exposed shoulders, though. (We're wearing these at the next live, apparently!)
  2915.  
  2916. Shi-zu-ka-chan? Thinking about something~?
  2917. Huh? Oh, sorry.
  2918.  
  2919. Mirai's at recording today.
  2920. So I'm wondering if she's doing alright.
  2921.  
  2922. ---
  2923.  
  2924. Recording, huh~
  2925. I don't like that, it's tiring~
  2926. Really?
  2927. I think it's assembling the song piece by piece is fun like a puzzle.
  2928.  
  2929. It takes a long time and it's always the same song, so you get bored of it.
  2930.  
  2931. You know, Mirai actually gets into a slump easily.
  2932. She deflates just like a balloon.
  2933.  
  2934. (You're right...)
  2935.  
  2936. I wonder if Mirai's alright...
  2937.  
  2938. ---
  2939.  
  2940. Ah...
  2941.  
  2942. So editing takes this long, huh.
  2943. So tired.
  2944.  
  2945. I'll drink some milk to cheer up.
  2946. Mi~rai! (music note)
  2947.  
  2948. ---
  2949.  
  2950. (Surprised?)
  2951. Tsubasa! Shizuka-chan!
  2952. And Producer-san, too!
  2953.  
  2954. You came! (So happy!)
  2955. We heard that Producer was coming over, so we came along. (Bought sweets!)
  2956.  
  2957. How's your first recording going, Mirai?
  2958. Yes! It's fun and full of new things!
  2959.  
  2960. ...Though...
  2961.  
  2962. ---
  2963.  
  2964. Oh...
  2965.  
  2966. I see you've been working hard.
  2967. Mirai, did all of these memos? (Wow!)
  2968. I thought I'd forget otherwise.
  2969.  
  2970. Mirai, let me use the next page.
  2971. Huh? Okay, but what are you going to write?
  2972.  
  2973. How's this? I organized it together.
  2974.  
  2975. Side Note: Until what age did you believe in Santa?
  2976.  
  2977. ---
  2978.  
  2979. That's pretty tidy. (That's Shizuka for you!)
  2980.  
  2981. It's really easy to read! Thank you, Shizuka-chan!
  2982. Mirai...
  2983.  
  2984. You made too many notes.
  2985. Your handwriting was messy and hard to read,
  2986. And with all of these notes, would you understand it all after one read?
  2987. And while singing.
  2988.  
  2989. You don't have to perfectly follow everything they tell you to do anyway.
  2990. That's right.
  2991. You'll forget once you get into it, anyway~
  2992.  
  2993. And more importantly...
  2994.  
  2995. Side Note: Tsubasa - What do you mean, "What age"? I still believe in him now. It's happier if you believe he's here, right~? (music note)
  2996. Serika - S-sorry, I don't quite understand the question... Believing in Santa-san...?
  2997.  
  2998. ---
  2999.  
  3000. After receiving that song, you've always been working hard at lessons.
  3001. Just sing it like you usually do.
  3002.  
  3003. ---
  3004.  
  3005. ...Yeah.
  3006.  
  3007. Side Note: An unforgettable moment when I was 15! I always thought Santa-san was the "Santa-san" living next door.
  3008.  
  3009. ---
  3010.  
  3011. Looks like that break paid off. Let's go ahead on to the next parts while we're at it.
  3012. ...Okay.
  3013.  
  3014. I wonder why.
  3015.  
  3016. Having everyone here with me, the heaviness in my body seems to have gone off somewhere.
  3017.  
  3018. My voice can come out!
  3019.  
  3020. ---
  3021.  
  3022. Side Note: Tamaki - Ah, Santa is a mountain god, right? I bring him acorns every year~! (music note)
  3023. Momoko - I don't rememeber. Ever since I was aware of myself, I knew that Santa didn't exist.
  3024.  
  3025. ---
  3026.  
  3027. ...Okay!
  3028.  
  3029. That was pretty good just now. How about a break before the last part?
  3030. ...No.
  3031.  
  3032. I'd,
  3033. Like to keep singing like this.
  3034.  
  3035. Alright, here goes!
  3036. Do you best!
  3037. Yeah!
  3038.  
  3039. ---
  3040.  
  3041. My song...
  3042.  
  3043. I sing it...
  3044. And others can listen to it.
  3045.  
  3046. I'm so happy!
  3047.  
  3048. ---
  3049.  
  3050. So fun!
  3051.  
  3052. These feelings,
  3053. I can't put them into words too well...
  3054. So it would be nice if they could be received like this.
  3055.  
  3056. ---
  3057.  
  3058. Myself...
  3059. Included in this song!
  3060.  
  3061. ---
  3062.  
  3063. ...-rai
  3064. Mirai...
  3065.  
  3066. Mirai, wake up.
  3067. Mirai.
  3068.  
  3069. Produhya-shan?
  3070.  
  3071. A dream!?
  3072. Finally woke up, huh.
  3073.  
  3074. (A dream...)
  3075. (The CD...)
  3076. (And live...)
  3077.  
  3078. ---
  3079.  
  3080. The CD's finished.
  3081.  
  3082. Yaa~y, so relieved!
  3083. It wasn't a dream!
  3084. What kind of dream were you seeing...?
  3085.  
  3086. ---
  3087.  
  3088. Oh, it's...
  3089. No longer a dream.
  3090.  
  3091. Alright, let's give it a listen! Come on, hand it over!
  3092. (Waah!) Don't be so rough with it!
  3093.  
  3094. ---
  3095.  
  3096. Chapter 16 - Let's go Wherever at the Same Pace
  3097.  
  3098. Get a little closer, you two!
  3099. Get ready, okay?
  3100.  
  3101. Yuriko-chan, one more time! One for me, too!
  3102. Huh...how many are you planning to take?
  3103. But it's a new outfit!
  3104. Mirai, Tsubasa?
  3105.  
  3106. Producer's asking if you've finished changing...
  3107.  
  3108. Come in, too, Shizuka-chan! Let's take one together!
  3109. H-hey wait, Mirai!?
  3110.  
  3111. ---
  3112.  
  3113. "A new future has been created." That's what it feels like!
  3114.  
  3115. ---
  3116.  
  3117. Hmm.
  3118. Yeah, yeah.
  3119. Looks good on you two! It's cute!
  3120.  
  3121. Ehehe.
  3122.  
  3123. Producer-san, what outfit is this for?
  3124. Is it for the regular lives? Next month's...
  3125.  
  3126. It's a secret.
  3127.  
  3128. Okay, please go ahead with these three types.
  3129. (Thanks for today)
  3130. (The newcomers are so cute!)
  3131. [Annoyed]
  3132.  
  3133. ---
  3134.  
  3135.  
  3136. Me,
  3137. Mirai,
  3138. And Shizuka-chan.
  3139.  
  3140. The three of us in a new unit!
  3141. And an unveiling live, too~!
  3142.  
  3143. ...Was an outfit for that, probably.
  3144. Mmph (I'd like that, too)
  3145. You two...
  3146.  
  3147. Side Note: What time do you usually sleep at?
  3148.  
  3149. ---
  3150.  
  3151. Nothing but idle talk recently.
  3152. Didn't we decide to work on summer vacation's homework until tonight's meeting?
  3153.  
  3154. Mirai, you made a mistake from the first question of the drill.
  3155. Tsubasa, you open the textbook to start with.
  3156. If you don't go at a steady pace, you'll regret it at the end of August.
  3157. (Let me have a bite (heart))
  3158.  
  3159. You say that, but you liked that outfit earlier, too~
  3160. That's right! Didn't you want to be in a unit with us!?
  3161.  
  3162. You know, that's not the point here...
  3163.  
  3164. Side Note: I sleep before midnight! I get sleepy really quickly~ Dehehe (music note)
  3165.  
  3166. ---
  3167.  
  3168. (Shizuka! Shizuka!)
  3169. The fans are calling us...
  3170.  
  3171. Mirai...
  3172. Tsubasa...
  3173.  
  3174. I'm so happy I could sing together with you at the Budokan!
  3175. I'm so glad I could be an idol!
  3176. Shizuka-chan! x 2
  3177.  
  3178. ---
  3179.  
  3180. Attention, everyone~!
  3181.  
  3182. The first unit name meeting has begun~!
  3183. Chairman! How about "Milk Crepe"!? (They're really good!)
  3184.  
  3185. ...No.
  3186.  
  3187. The unit name is the most important symbol of an idol group! It needs to properly contain something like their themes or goals!
  3188. (Woah)
  3189.  
  3190. A unit?
  3191.  
  3192. Side Note: Yuriko - I end up staying up late reading books...But I'll sleep by midnight, when the magic ends (music note)
  3193.  
  3194. ---
  3195.  
  3196. "Yogurt Nom Nom"
  3197. "Ledy Love Pink (Heart)"
  3198. "Dream Girls"
  3199.  
  3200. Shizuka-chan, that's kind of lame~
  3201. H-how rude! I made it like a traditional idol group's! (And you have a typo!)
  3202. Hey, hey, how about mine~?
  3203. Hoho~
  3204.  
  3205. A unit meeting here, you guys~?
  3206.  
  3207. Side Note: Tsubasa - Umm, I go to my room after the variety show at 11 ends, so... past 12? (music note)
  3208. Karen - Generating an aroma to sleep is really nice... (music note) Oh, when I sleep!? I-I'm sorry...!?
  3209.  
  3210. ---
  3211.  
  3212. (Nyahaha)
  3213. Megumi-san!
  3214.  
  3215. What what what? You three are a new unit~?
  3216. No, it's not quite at that...
  3217. Sounds good, fresh middle schoolers!
  3218. Shizuka, Tsubasa, and...
  3219.  
  3220. Ummm, the newcomer...
  3221. Mira-
  3222. Megumi-chan!?
  3223.  
  3224. ---
  3225.  
  3226. Wow! It's the real Megumi-chan! (Autograph, please!)
  3227. Real?
  3228. You don't know, Shizuka-chan!? She's the model of "Cute"!
  3229.  
  3230. Ahaha, so you read that. (Thanks!)
  3231. Saki-chan buys it every month!
  3232. On this, please!
  3233.  
  3234. You didn't even know about Haruka-san or Chihaya-san until you joined... (Makes no sense...)
  3235. The average person's like that. (Ahaha)
  3236.  
  3237. Nyai see, Nyai see, matching new outfits for you three, huh~
  3238.  
  3239. Side Note: Megumi - What time, I wonder~? I talk on the phone at night and end up sleeping some time then. Nyahaha!
  3240.  
  3241. ---
  3242.  
  3243. I can see why you'd expect something from it.
  3244. Come to think of it, we might have had a unit name meeting here. (Just remembered)
  3245. You're in a unit, too?
  3246.  
  3247. Yeah, you know them? Kotoha and Elena.
  3248. We have a CD out, though it's just one.
  3249. Kotoha-chan and Elena-chan! (I see!)
  3250.  
  3251. I like unit work more than going at it solo!
  3252. I want to work hard for the sake for those next to me!
  3253.  
  3254. Megumi! Finally found you.
  3255.  
  3256. ---
  3257.  
  3258. (Megumi!)
  3259. You said you'd be at the usual seat, didn't you? We had to look for you.
  3260.  
  3261. (Sheesh!)
  3262. Sorry, you guys! There was something interesting going on over here, so~ (By chance!)
  3263.  
  3264. You three are always together at the Theater outside of work, too~ It is like that usually~?
  3265.  
  3266. I guess.
  3267. For me, that's one of the strengths of being in a unit.
  3268.  
  3269. A strength?
  3270.  
  3271. ---
  3272.  
  3273. Always talking and playing together!
  3274. We won't lose to other units in the strength of our bonds!
  3275.  
  3276. Alright! Let's go shopping!
  3277. I'd like a new bag (music note)
  3278.  
  3279. ---
  3280.  
  3281. Alright,
  3282. Shall we continue doing homework?
  3283. (What!?)
  3284.  
  3285. Weren't you listening to Megumi-san!? She said to play! To play!
  3286. Yeah, yeah!
  3287. It's summer vacation, after all!
  3288. That's right!
  3289.  
  3290. Let's cause a ruckus today!
  3291. Yaay!
  3292. Hey!
  3293.  
  3294. Come on, Shizuka-chan, sing!
  3295. Sheesh, just one, okay?
  3296.  
  3297. ---
  3298.  
  3299. (One more song! One more song!)
  3300. (So cool!)
  3301.  
  3302. (SHI ZU KA! SHI ZU KA!)
  3303.  
  3304. (Go ahead (music note)) [Singing Go My Way!]
  3305.  
  3306. [Koi wo Hajimeyou]
  3307.  
  3308. ---
  3309.  
  3310. Like I said...
  3311.  
  3312. ---
  3313.  
  3314. I'd like the unit name to be a cool one~
  3315. With an active dance!
  3316. I'd like a cheerful and idol-like song.
  3317. We three are different types, so we should start from there as a basis.
  3318.  
  3319. Mirai, what do you think?
  3320. The songs that we'd sing.
  3321. Huh? Me?
  3322.  
  3323. Hmm~ Not sure~ I like both cool and cheerful ones.
  3324.  
  3325. (Shizuka-chan's cool, so...)
  3326.  
  3327. (But with Tsubasa, cute ones are good, too)
  3328.  
  3329. I know...
  3330.  
  3331. ---
  3332.  
  3333. Then let's do both.
  3334. The first is cool, and the second is cheerful!
  3335.  
  3336. And the third one is...
  3337. A gentle and kind song.
  3338.  
  3339. Summer vacation just started, after all,
  3340. And there's plenty of time!
  3341.  
  3342. ---
  3343.  
  3344. That work's, too!
  3345.  
  3346. (But only until examinations.)
  3347. (I promised my father, so my time to be an idol is running out.)
  3348.  
  3349. Side Note: What do you like to put in oden?
  3350.  
  3351. ---
  3352.  
  3353. (Come on) Walk faster, you two.
  3354. We'll be late for the meeting.
  3355. 'Ka~y.
  3356.  
  3357. Tada!
  3358. What could this be!?
  3359.  
  3360. WAO!
  3361.  
  3362. ---
  3363.  
  3364. ...Oh!? How improper of me....
  3365. Megumi-san, could those be fireworks?
  3366. Correct! I was thinking of having everyone use them after the meeting. (Have you used them before?)
  3367.  
  3368. Yuriko and the others are pretty late.
  3369. Apparently their shoot dragged on for a bit, so they'll show up by tomorrow morning. (This is cute!)
  3370.  
  3371. You're doing homework, too?
  3372. Yes, since I played around this afternoon...
  3373. Huh!? England has fireworks, too? (It's not from Japanese culture!?)
  3374.  
  3375. Hey, everyone, you all here?
  3376. Let's get right to it.
  3377.  
  3378. (Okay!)
  3379.  
  3380. Side Note: Kotoha - Daikon soaked in the broth. It's wonderful to eat at the very end!
  3381. Elena - Weiner wraps are good! But Konomi-san told me earlier to be careful of how I eat them~
  3382.  
  3383. ---
  3384.  
  3385. So...
  3386. I have something important to announce next.
  3387.  
  3388. Tsubasa,
  3389. (Ye~s)
  3390.  
  3391. And Shizuka.
  3392.  
  3393. You two will be a part of
  3394. Separate new units.
  3395.  
  3396. Separate?
  3397.  
  3398. Side Note: Emily - Let's see~, I like cabbage rol-...no, err, cabbage meat wraps [kanji]!
  3399.  
  3400. ---
  3401.  
  3402. First is Tsubasa's unit.
  3403. You'll be in a group of five with Yuriko, Sayoko, Mizuki, and Julia.
  3404.  
  3405. Then it's Shizuka's unit,
  3406. With Shiho, Serika, Akane, and Reika.
  3407.  
  3408. ---
  3409.  
  3410. Umm!
  3411. The unit's...not with Mirai and Tsubasa?
  3412. Then what was that outfit from this morning about...?
  3413.  
  3414. The outfit? (Oh)
  3415.  
  3416. The new ones that arrived early?
  3417. Don't worry, there's going to be enough made for all 37 of you guys! (That hat was pretty good on you!)
  3418.  
  3419. Next up is something important.
  3420. The formation of these new units and the creation of these new outfits,
  3421. Is in order to appear at the idol festival in fall.
  3422.  
  3423. Shizuka-chan, what's an idol fe-...thing?
  3424. A festival.
  3425.  
  3426. Side Note: Nao - Let me say something first! I won't accept things like tubed fish cakes! The heck are those~!?
  3427.  
  3428. ---
  3429.  
  3430. This year marks the 11th time they've done it. It's a combined live event that takes place at an outdoor stage.
  3431. Idols from various productions participate, and it will be broadcast on television, of course.
  3432.  
  3433. It's a very...
  3434. A very large live.
  3435.  
  3436. The audition to decide who attends is in one month.
  3437. I'd like the new units and Kotoha's trio to work hard this summer to make an appearance!
  3438. Continuing on, for next month's regular live...
  3439.  
  3440. (Uh-...)
  3441.  
  3442. Side Note: Shizuka - ...Umm, what do you think I'm going to say? Yes, that's right! Udon, of course!
  3443.  
  3444. ---
  3445.  
  3446. Huh?
  3447. What?
  3448.  
  3449. Umm...
  3450. What unit am I in?
  3451.  
  3452. Mi~rai.
  3453.  
  3454. Don't just play with with the sparklers,
  3455. Come on, there are still a lot of the other fireworks. (They're fun?)
  3456. I'll pass...
  3457.  
  3458. These sparklers are a good match for me right now.
  3459. You should go play with the others over there.
  3460. Come on...don't pout like a child.
  3461. But...
  3462.  
  3463. ---
  3464.  
  3465. I'm the only one alone!
  3466. So unfair for everyone else to be in a unit!
  3467. I want to go to the fest, too!
  3468. It's not unfair, and it's not just you!
  3469. It's the same case for Emily, too!
  3470.  
  3471. You two have your solo CDs going on sale this weekend,
  3472. And dealing with that and live performances is going to be very busy.
  3473. And our units are only going to last until the festival ends...
  3474.  
  3475. ---
  3476.  
  3477. Your skirt will get dirty?
  3478.  
  3479. I don't mind.
  3480.  
  3481. (You do this with the Japanese types!)
  3482.  
  3483. (Ahaha)
  3484. (Haha)
  3485.  
  3486. ---
  3487.  
  3488. It'll be alright.
  3489.  
  3490. You have a lot of time.
  3491. Even after summer vacation ends, there's winter vacation, spring vacation, and even the next summer vacation.
  3492.  
  3493. Units can be formed whenever,
  3494. And you'll definitely be alright being with anyone.
  3495. It's definitely...be alright. For you, me, and...
  3496. (You little!)
  3497.  
  3498. So come on...
  3499. Let's do some fireworks?
  3500.  
  3501. ---
  3502.  
  3503. ...After that fest ends,
  3504. Would you be in a unit with me?
  3505.  
  3506. (Well...) I'm not the one to decide that...
  3507. But I suppose so,
  3508. I'd like to sing together with you and Tsubasa, after all. (Let's ask Producer together)
  3509.  
  3510. That's a promise.
  3511. Yes, a promise.
  3512.  
  3513. ---
  3514.  
  3515. Mirai!
  3516. Shizuka-chan!
  3517.  
  3518. Producer-san says he's going to take a picture! (Come on!)
  3519. We're going now.
  3520.  
  3521. Squeeze in more on the left!
  3522.  
  3523. The idol fest...
  3524. One month until the audition.
  3525.  
  3526. I'll pass it.
  3527. For what needs to happen from hereon out...
  3528.  
  3529. -----
  3530.  
  3531. Chapter SP1 - ...In the Name Of...?
  3532.  
  3533. Makabe-san,
  3534. Would you go out with me?
  3535. ...Pfft.
  3536.  
  3537. ---
  3538.  
  3539. H-, hey! Weren't you laughing just now!?
  3540. I'm helping you out for your sake, you know!?
  3541. No, that was supposed to be a smile.
  3542. How about we just start as friends?
  3543. Isn't that a rejection, then!?
  3544.  
  3545. Mirai,
  3546. Good morning.
  3547.  
  3548. I-I...
  3549. I'm...
  3550.  
  3551. Sorry!
  3552. Mirai!?
  3553.  
  3554. A love song?
  3555.  
  3556. ---
  3557.  
  3558. Yes, a love song. ...A song about love.
  3559. That your new song? Looks interesting.
  3560. Love...
  3561.  
  3562. But the other day...
  3563.  
  3564. Yes!
  3565. Makabe-san, your voice is beautiful. It really suits the mood of the song.
  3566.  
  3567. But...
  3568.  
  3569. It would be better if you could put a bit more feeling into your singing.
  3570.  
  3571. ---
  3572.  
  3573. ...Feelings.
  3574.  
  3575. I want to know...
  3576. The feelings,
  3577. Of Love.
  3578.  
  3579. I was playing the role of a guy to help out. (Sheesh)
  3580. (Ehehe) Oh~ I was pretty shocked.
  3581.  
  3582. ...By the way,
  3583.  
  3584. Julia-san,
  3585. I have a request to make.
  3586. (Close)
  3587.  
  3588. ---
  3589.  
  3590. ...Well,
  3591.  
  3592. I thought it would come to this.
  3593. Please do.
  3594. (Half-bent)
  3595.  
  3596. ...
  3597. I like you?
  3598.  
  3599. ---
  3600.  
  3601. This is...exceedingly exciting,
  3602. I see, so this is love?
  3603. Definitely not, I think...
  3604.  
  3605. Hey, hey, hey!
  3606. Juliano! I want you to do that to me, too!
  3607. Tsubasa? (When did you!?)
  3608.  
  3609. No way, why do I have to always play the guy?
  3610. It's because you're cool.
  3611. Right, Mirai?
  3612. M-me, too... (Might like it...)
  3613. Makabe-san! Please let me try it again! (I won't accept this!)
  3614.  
  3615. I'll try searching by myself.
  3616. Thanks for your assistance.
  3617. That's pretty sudden!
  3618.  
  3619. ---
  3620.  
  3621. Mizuki,
  3622. A newly-given song is like an acquaintance.
  3623. But after putting your feelings into it, it becomes your best friend.
  3624. Go do your best.
  3625.  
  3626. I...got excited again.
  3627. This really must be love.
  3628. (Like I said) It's not.
  3629. (Hey, Juliano, do the wall thing! (heart))
  3630.  
  3631. ---
  3632.  
  3633. Producer, it's Mizuki.
  3634. May I discuss something with... (You?)
  3635.  
  3636. ---
  3637.  
  3638. A love song?
  3639. So you have your next song, huh! Congratulations!
  3640. Thank you very much, Satake-san.
  3641.  
  3642. So about what I would like to discuss.
  3643. "How to put your feelings into singing a love song," right? (Hmm)
  3644.  
  3645. I know!
  3646. If "love" is hard to understand, then how about simply substituting it with "like" when singing?
  3647.  
  3648. Side Note: What kind of idol would you like to become?
  3649.  
  3650. ---
  3651.  
  3652. Your friends, family...anything's fine.
  3653. Putting those feelings into your singing will change it with just that.
  3654.  
  3655. That's because there isn't a person around who doesn't want someone saying they like them, right?
  3656.  
  3657. How about it? What do you like?
  3658. What do you think I like?
  3659. Huh!? (A reversal!?)
  3660.  
  3661. (Hmm)
  3662. (You would like magic, and...)
  3663.  
  3664. Sorry to keep you waiting, you two!
  3665.  
  3666. Side Note: Mizuki - I want to be an idol whose stage performance would make me smile as well. How earnest.
  3667.  
  3668. ---
  3669.  
  3670. (Ehe) My vocal lesson dragged on again~
  3671. Don't worry, Kana-chan.
  3672. Let's start the dance lesson, then!
  3673. Okay!
  3674.  
  3675. A love song!?
  3676.  
  3677. Please, your thoughts as well, please. (Ah, my back)
  3678. Hmm~, I sing love songs pretty often at karaoke,
  3679. But I don't really do anything special...
  3680.  
  3681. ---
  3682.  
  3683. Speaking of karaoke!
  3684. Recently, I did it with Chihaya-san and the others!
  3685.  
  3686. I was so happy~ Sang lots of Chihaya-san's songs~ (music note)
  3687. That's pretty courageous of you...!
  3688. And the last one was a love song, and~
  3689.  
  3690. Chihaya-san, w-what did you think of that song?
  3691.  
  3692. That's the first time I've seen that expression from that song.
  3693. Thank you, Yabuki-san.
  3694.  
  3695. Side Note: Minako - Let's see~. I'd like to be a multi-purpose idol that fills up others in various ways. (music note)
  3696. Kana - I-, I'm aiming to be an idol like my seniors! I want to sparkle!
  3697.  
  3698. ---
  3699.  
  3700. Thanks!
  3701. That's what she said~
  3702. And afterwards, we went to eat~
  3703. Kana-chan, Kana-chan.
  3704.  
  3705. Oh, right. Love songs!
  3706. I know!
  3707.  
  3708. You should sing it in your own style!
  3709. As it comes from your mouth! Mizuki-san style!
  3710.  
  3711. My style...
  3712. To like...
  3713. So the answer to all this is...
  3714.  
  3715. ---
  3716.  
  3717. This is more difficult
  3718. Than I thought.
  3719.  
  3720. ---
  3721.  
  3722. Mizuki?
  3723.  
  3724. ---
  3725.  
  3726. Producer.
  3727. What's up? Did you need to talk?
  3728.  
  3729. Good timing, though.
  3730. I have something for you.
  3731.  
  3732. Here, a present.
  3733.  
  3734. These are? (Books?)
  3735. Romance novels. Was thinking this would help with your new song.
  3736.  
  3737. My personal recommendations start from the top.
  3738. The top one in particular made me cry a bit.
  3739.  
  3740. ---
  3741.  
  3742. (All these books,)
  3743. (Reading them just for...)
  3744.  
  3745. (Was embarrassing to buy these at the bookstore, though.)
  3746.  
  3747. Oh, and thanks for the coffee jelly.
  3748. It was good.
  3749.  
  3750. ---
  3751.  
  3752. Huh? I thought it was you.
  3753. Guess I was wrong?
  3754.  
  3755. No...
  3756.  
  3757. That's correct.
  3758. Ding ding.
  3759.  
  3760. Producer, shall we head back togetwe-...
  3761. ...My mistake. (Shall we head back?)
  3762.  
  3763. ---
  3764.  
  3765. Chapter SP2: Make me Happy~Effect!
  3766.  
  3767. ---
  3768.  
  3769. ...Cleaning?
  3770. All day today?
  3771.  
  3772. That's right. Someone big is coming to look at the Theater tomorrow, apparently.
  3773. I haven't heard about this.
  3774. I just heard from the president, myself...
  3775.  
  3776. For now, could you just have those at the Theater today to clean up a bit?
  3777. If it's too much of a mess, it'll...you know.
  3778. Well...I suppose.
  3779. Understood, we'll do something about it. (Guess we must...)
  3780.  
  3781. ...Is what he said,
  3782.  
  3783. But there are only the three of us here.
  3784. (And Mirai is rarely out on a job...)
  3785. No need to worry, Shizuka-chan.'
  3786.  
  3787. ---
  3788.  
  3789. Using Matsuri's magic, cleaning will be beautiholly done in a snap!
  3790. (Ready, set)
  3791.  
  3792. (Hooo)
  3793.  
  3794. Alright, then the next room...
  3795.  
  3796. Ma-tsu-ri-san...
  3797.  
  3798. ---
  3799.  
  3800. That's not good. You need to take it seriously.
  3801. Momoko doesn't want to do these chores either,
  3802. But this is a job, too.
  3803.  
  3804. Could you clean the top of the desks, then?
  3805. If it's too hard...
  3806. Shizuka-san...
  3807.  
  3808. Momoko can dust and sweep, too, you know?
  3809. Don't belittle me too much.
  3810.  
  3811. S-sorry.
  3812. (Matsuri-san, let's go do that room.
  3813. (Momoko-chan, I don't think using a cloth is befitting of a princess...)
  3814.  
  3815. ---
  3816.  
  3817. (Phew)
  3818. At least the dust on the floor has been taken care...
  3819.  
  3820. I'm back, everyone!
  3821. With souvenirs from Okinawa~! Ahaha!
  3822.  
  3823. Oh, Shizuka-chan! It's been a while!
  3824.  
  3825. Megumi-sa...
  3826. These are biscuits and fried buns!
  3827. That lion looks good on you! Nyahahahahaha!
  3828.  
  3829. ---
  3830.  
  3831. Aah~...
  3832.  
  3833. I just came back, so why do I have to clean~?
  3834. Sorry, Megumi-san,
  3835. But it would really help out since we don't have enough people.
  3836.  
  3837. And everyone's out on work today!
  3838. Bought so many souvenirs, too~ (What's this box?)
  3839. How was that shoot in Okinawa, by the way?
  3840. A solo photo collection is a first for the Theater!
  3841.  
  3842. Ahh~ Okinawa's a nice place!
  3843. Felt Okinawan! Ahaha!
  3844. I-, I see...
  3845.  
  3846. Side Note: Momoko - Even if you ask me... I'll produce results from doing precisely what I say.
  3847.  
  3848. ---
  3849.  
  3850. The food was good, the staff was nice, and it was fun!
  3851. ...But,
  3852. Next time, I'd like to go with everyone instead of by myself.
  3853. Like with Kotoha, Elena, Producer...
  3854.  
  3855. And you two, of course!
  3856. What color would your swimsuit be~?
  3857.  
  3858. Hey, Shizuka-san?
  3859. What are you making all this noise by yourself?
  3860.  
  3861. Oh, it's Momoko! Long time no see! Did you get a bit taller! Ahaha!
  3862. (Put me down!)
  3863.  
  3864. Side Note: Matsuri - Hime will become a wonderho idol! So, even more support...'kay?
  3865.  
  3866. ---
  3867.  
  3868. Ahh~ The Theater is so relaxing to be at. Like realizing how nice home is after being away for a bit?
  3869. (Squish)
  3870.  
  3871. Wah, Miya!? S-s-s-sorry! (Sat on you!)
  3872. How long has she been there...
  3873.  
  3874. Side Note: Megumi - I'd like to be a fun one! I want to be an idol with a bunch of friends and fans!
  3875.  
  3876. ---
  3877.  
  3878. Good morning, everyone~
  3879.  
  3880. ---
  3881.  
  3882. Didn't notice with her clothing and blanket blending together.
  3883. To deceive Hime's eyes, this is no easy task.
  3884. Being able to sleep with this noise is pretty impressive.
  3885.  
  3886. Oh my~ We're cleaning today?
  3887. Sounds good~
  3888. Sorting out a room is sorting one one's heart~
  3889.  
  3890. ---
  3891.  
  3892. She fell asleep!?
  3893. Megumi-san, don't just laugh, wake her up!
  3894. (Nyahahaha)
  3895.  
  3896. The floor's dirtier than I though.
  3897. Seems so~
  3898.  
  3899. Miya-san, I'm going to replace the bucket water.
  3900. Oh, wait a moment, Shizuka-chan~
  3901.

  3904. You can use this to soak the cloth~
  3905. What kind of water is this?
  3906.  
  3907. It was used to clean rice~
  3908. If you clean with this, it'll make it shiny~
  3909.  
  3910. Stains on the wall can be taken care of with an eraser~
  3911.  
  3912. For windows, using newspapers is good~
  3913.  
  3914. You certainly seem to know various things, Miya-san. (Wow...)
  3915. Not at all~ It's just what Grandpa taught me~
  3916. Your technique is pretty good, too~
  3917.  
  3918. Side Note: Miya - If I'm going to do it, then I'll be top idol~ I'm actually quite the competitive type, you know~?

  3920. ---
  3921.  
  3922. Miya, can you come over here?
  3923.  
  3924. Sure~.
  3925. I'm heading over now~ (Up we go)
  3926.  
  3927. Oh no, your skirt!
  3928. Oh dear~
  3929. Oh, it got torn?
  3930.  
  3931. (Do I have it?)
  3932.

  3934.  
  3935. Something like this will be taken care of in a jiffy.
  3936. Megumi-chan, thank you~
  3937.  
  3938. You'll be a good wife one day~
  3939.  
  3940. (Ow!) Miya! It's because you messed with me with that w-wife thing!
  3941. Oh~ Everyone makes mistakes~
  3942.  
  3943. ---
  3944.  
  3945. (What a cute bear~)
  3946. (Who would your owner be~?)
  3947.  
  3948. (I'll put in some new foundation)
  3949.  
  3950. ---
  3951.  
  3952. Phew...
  3953.  
  3954. Well, this'll do.
  3955. Having a clean castle pleases the princess as well.
  3956.  
  3957. It's about time for everyone to come back. (Have some iced tea)
  3958. Producer's going to be surprised, too.
  3959. Oh goodness.
  3960.  
  3961. Looks like it's starting to rain~
  3962. That's been happening frequently recently~
  3963.  
  3964. Rain...?
  3965. I'm getting a bad feeling about...
  3966.  
  3967. ---
  3968.  
  3969. Shizuka, look! I caught a frog!
  3970. Ah~ Got soaked because of how sudden it was. (We're back!)
  3971. Koro-chan, what is that odd outfit of yours?
  3972. (It's "Roco"!) This is a SENSATIONAL and DISCOVERY-ish RAIN WEAR that Roco invented! Would you like to try it, too!?
  3973.  
  3974. (Welp)
  3975.  
  3976. ---
  3977.  
  3978. Stop, STOP! Go to the shower room, first! And put your clothes in the washing machine!
  3979. Oh my~ Guess it's all ruined now~
  3980.  
  3981. Sigh...this will take the entire day to finish cleaning.
  3982. I wanted to see Miki-san's live recording, too...
  3983. It's okay, Shizuka-chan,
  3984.  
  3985. ---
  3986.  
  3987. Cleaning and washing,
  3988. These kinds of days are wonderful, too~
  3989.  
  3990. Shizuka!
  3991. Miya!
  3992.  
  3993. Looks like that rain was only passing by! It's really sunny out! (Let's dry them on the roof!)
  3994. (Oka~y)
  3995.  
  3996. It's about time
  3997. For summer, huh~!
  3998.
