Everyone’s commercial -Chihaya and Chihya- chapter

[Continuing morning petit drama: Everyone’s commercial -Chihaya and Chihya- chapter]

President:
P was in charge of making twelve volume commercials.
After Takane’s photo shoot, it’s Chihaya’s turn.

P:
Hm. Chihaya’s late.
Otonashi-san, how far is Chihaya from the office?

Kotori:
Um, really close by, about 5 minutes away.
I've tried contacting her, but...

P:
5 minutes?
But it’s been 15 minutes already, hasn't it?
Ah! C-Could it be?
Something happened to her?
Chi-Chihaya! I’m coming to save you now!

Kotori:
Ah, it’s Chihaya-chan and Chihya-chan.

Chihaya:
Otonashi-san, Producer, i’ve decided!
Fro-From now on, i’ll become a cute girl!

P & Kotori:
Ehhh?!

President:
Too sudden.

Kotori:
U-Um, Chihaya-chan.
What happened?

P:
Really, Chihaya?
No matter how you look at it, you’re not a “cute” type.

Chihaya:
Producer...

P:
You gotta be more confident, Chihaya.
You have the song,
You have the skills,
You have a likable voice,
and abs.

Chihaya:
In the end you’re not praising me are you?

President:
Try a bit harder, P.

Kotori:
U-Um, And what Chihaya just said. What’s the meaning of this?

Chihaya:
Well, earlier Producer decided on a chocolate commercial song and contacted me.
Because of that-

P:
Perhaps because a sweet chocolate advertisement goes well with a sweet atmosphere, you think you need to be cute?

Chihaya:
Yes.
I want to be sure i’m at my maximum for this chance.
Therefore for the sake of a cute song i’ll do anything.

Kotori:
R-Really?
I-I-I-I-I-I-If’s that’s the case, in my locker there’s a hidden cherished costume!

Chihaya:
Ah, but i’ll choose my own costume.

President:
I wonder what kind of costume it is.

P:
Alright! I’ll go find the sweet feeling costume in the office then!
Hm? What’s wrong, Chihya? Ah, could it be you want to help out too?

P:
Mm. I see. I’ll let Chihya help.
Alright, you two! Get in this costume!

Chihaya:
And what do I do?

P:
Mm. First, let Chihya ride on your head.
And then wear this costume.

Chihaya:
Okay.

P:
And then, when you take off the head part, Chihya’ll appear and make them go “Ah, how cute!”.
This is perfect!

Chihaya:
Chihya, go.

President:
P needs to try harder. No, seriously.

Chihaya:
This is a park right?

P:
Yeah!

Chihaya:
Um, we’re photographing here?

P:
When you talk about February chocolate, of course it’s for Valentine’s Day right?
So we’ll film a scene when you confess under the legendary tree.

Chihaya:
Ehhh?! T-T-That’s impossible!
Chihya...

P:
Chihaya, Chihya said to do your best too.

P:
You can do it.

Chihaya:
Producer...

P:
Alright, Chihya!
We’ll show you an example!
Now, give me a hot kiss and hug!
...
I’m sorry!

President:
He never learns his lesson.

P:
Ahahaha. My neck is twisted in a weird direction, but don’t worry about it!
For now let’s start the confession scene!

Chihaya:
Producer, um am I doing this scene alone?

P:
Ah that’s correct, however?

Chihaya:
I, I have no confidence in acting.
I can do it but... I’d prefer to have someone act as my partner.

P:
Then, i’ll do it.

Chihaya:
I’m truly sorry, but I’ll have to refuse your kind offer.

P:
I feel like I was turned down very politely with firm intent.

P:
Then, imagine Sepepapu-san is over here.

Chihaya:
Who’s that?

Chihaya:
You’re right, Chihya. We might be able to ask him.

President:
But then, a person she can depend on disappeared.
Be careful.

P:
Okay.

Chihaya:
Ah, uh, um, I like you.

P:
Cut! Cut!
Chihaya, can’t you do it a bit cuter?
Would you like me to show you?

Chihaya:
I’ll give a firm refusal on that.
As I thought cute acting is...

P:
Don’t worry.
Stare fixedly on your partner’s eyes.

Chihaya:
O-O-Okay.

P:
Then, don’t turn away from his eyes, and grasp his shoulders tightly

Chihaya:
A-Ah, okay!

P:
And say this.
Um... I... for a long time... about you... I want you!

Chihaya:
That’s creepy. Please go away.

P:
Why? That’s cruel! Right, Chihya-chan?

President:
It’s inexcusable since you said something cheap.

Chihaya:
Ha...
What should I do now?

P:
Chihaya.
About chocolate.
There’s not only sweet chocolate, but also bitter chocolate, am I wrong?
So, perhaps we don’t have to fuss over about sweet play.
I think you should do what only you can do.

Chihaya:
Producer!
Thank you very much!
Somehow, I feel that my heart has cleared up!

P:
Alright!
You go Chihaya!
Do your best Chihaya!
You can do it Chihaya!
Do! it! Chihaya!
Go! Go! Chihaya!
Fight! Fight-!

Chihaya:
The scene is starting, please be quiet.

P:
Okay.
I’m sorry.

President:
He was comforted by Chihya.

P:
And so, the splendid commercial was completed!

Kotori:
I wonder how cute Chihaya-chan was, i’m looking forward to it!
Hurry and turn it on, Producer-san!

P:
Of course!
Well then, start the commercial!

Chihaya:
Um, senpai.
I’m very bitter but, do you have the courage to eat me?
Sweetness, and also bitterness, is a taste of youth.
Will you have chocolate too?

P:
How is it, Otonashi-san?
This commercial draws out Chihaya’s good traits to the maximum right?

Kotori:
It’s a cute commercial, and Chihaya in cute clothes is cute, but this Chihaya is also cute.
Chihaya-chan and Chihya-chan are both cute in the commercial.

Chihaya:
Um, thank you very much!

Kotori:
By the way, Producer-san, why are you full of wounds?
Could it be that the filming site is a harsh place?

P:
This is what is called a producer’s duty.

Chihaya:
No matter how you look at it, you get what you deserve.

Right. But he’s a good person.

P:
Alright!
Well then, next is Yayoi’s photo shoot isn’t it?
Don’t worry, leave it to me!
At this pace, I’ll show you I can finish the other ten!
Huh? You don’t trust me?

President:
To be continued!
