Lesson 16: Audition


Page 002


Everybody, an invitation to an audition to become a regular on a country-wide live broadcast show came in.

An audition...?

That's the quiz show that's been getting good ratings!
各位
To Everyone,
『クイズ・ポセイドン』
Quiz Poseidon
Regular participant selection audition notification
Ah! If we become regulars on this show our popularity will rise for sure! There's no reason not to sign up.


Page 003


Quizzes...? I don't have any other interests besides singing.
Eh?
You're not going?

I'm probably not very good with quizzes.
M-Me too...

W-We have to partcipate as 765 WINGS?

Ah, don't worry about that. The groups don't matter this time around.
For this audition you'll just apply as one. If we just think of who's going to go and who isnt, it'll be no problem.


Page 004


Okay, those who want to go should meet at the office tomorrow at 9! Whether we win or lose, just don't regret it!
Yeah!

From this office the applicants will probably be me and Haruka. She's not the type to want to regret anything too...that'll be no problem.
W-W-What's that supposed to mean?
Oh yeah, on this show...

the regulars get to debut with a song. They tend to be pretty popular too.
R-Really!?

What's with you?
N-Nothing, it's just that quiz shows are...


Page 005


The next day
Ah~ Ah~♪
Chihaya-chan!?
I knew you'd be here ready to go!

Yesterday I tried watching the show. The singing portion is pretty large.

Haha... Well that's great.
It helps out since the more people we have from the office, the higher our chances of winning are.
Hmph!

What about Yayoi and Yukiho?


Page 006


They're going to pass on this one.
Okay. It's probably for the best since Yayoi would probably give unusual answers and Yukiho would overreact to getting the question wrong.

Actually, Yukiho would probably dig a hole, bury herself, and not want to come out.
I'm going to dig a hole and bury myself for the rest of my life~
T-T-That seems likely.

A-Alright, let's head to the meeting place!

Uwah, that's what I expected from a popular show. There's a lot of people here.
All of these people are here for the auditions!?


Page 007


With this many people it's just a competition of who left the best impression on the judges.
H-Hey, over there!

M-Miki! Hibiki too!

H-How dare she she show her face here so carelessly.
I'm going to go give her a piece of my mind.

Iori!
What!?

Yo, 765 Pro!


Page 008


Hey, Hibiki. You're here to audition too?

Of course. No way President Kuroi would let a high ratings show like this go.
Haha. You're right.

By the way, about the other day... You'd better keep that a secret!

Secret...? Ah, the homesi-..
I just said to keep it a secret!
U-Understood!


Page 009


W-What's with there friendly attitude...
Eeh...
Um...

Do you two know each other?
Eh...!?

It's just that you seem friendly with each other...
T-There's no way that's true! They're our enemies!
He's right! Don't say such weird things!

At the least, if we were to compete with our unity they would use a completely different tactic!
We're not friendly with each other at all!
That's what I should say!


Page  010


We definitely won't lose this audition too!

We won't either!

Hmph!
Jeez, just why did she come over here...

O-Okay, let's give it our all with unity!


Page 011


One at a time, based on your number, state your Production and name and show us your special skill.
Starting at number 1!

W-W-W-W-What should I do~! I'm getting nervous~
Don't worry, Haruka-chan. Even if you can't do it, we still have Iori and Chihaya.

He's right.
You've got nothing to lose. Even if you're nervous just do it!
Yeah, relax, relax!!

Y-You're right.
Yeah! I'm not alone.

Next, number 15!
Ah, that's me!


Page 012


Number 15. I'm with 765 Pro.
I'm Amami Haruka. I'm good at making sweets.

Since we're short on time today, I'll show you how to make whipped cream.

Let's see. First you mix together cream and granulated sugar in a bowl.

The secret is to mix it without stopping while keeping it chilled.
But be wary of overmixing. If you do, it'll start to become hard.

When you can turn the bowl upside down and it doesn't fall out, it's complete.


Page 013


Haruka-chan! The cream!
Eh?
Kyaa~ I didn't mix it enough!

S-Sorry! Someone please bring me a towel!

Uwaaaa!
Ah~

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Number 16. With 765 Pro. Kisaragi Chihaya. I'm going to sing a song.


Page 014


Wow! Chihaya's song is so moving despite being acapella.
No matter how often I hear her song, I never get tired of it.

Thank you very much!
What're you going to do if you make the judges cry...


Page 015


Number 17. I'm with 765 Pro. My name is Minase Iori-chan!

Today I'm going to talk about my memories of taking trips overseas!

Just recently we were specially allowed to stay at a large castle constructed by royalty in the 19th century.
The interior design was just superb. The balance of Baroque styles and Gothic styles used was exquisite. We even got to use antique wares for breakfast.


Page 016


It was as if I had become Mary Antoinette.

Nihihi♪
Ah, if you're just going to brag, then go somewhere else.

Next is the long awaited 961 Pro's turn.
Okay!


Page 017


Number 46. 961 Pro's Ganaha Hibiki.

Is she going to dance? sing? What's she going to do!?

I'm going to knit something!

K-Knitting!?
Cute~
It's shining..?
This is Butata's, my pet, winter clothes!

T-That's kinda unexpected...
On top of that she's good...


Page 018


How does it look? Will it be impossible for us?

Butata~
Buu~ Buu~♥

N-Not at all. If we're talking about impact, then we definitely were...

Ah... I forgot to make a hole for his tail to come through.
She even made a cute mistake!
Ahahahaha

She's fully prepared...
Next is Miki's turn.

Ah...


Page 019


Number 47. 961 Pro's Hoshii Miki.

Hmm~ Today I'm going to...

Miki doesn't really have a special skill.
Oh, I'm good at making onigiri.
I'm even better at eating them.


Page 020


Miki... Nothing's changed from when she was in 765 Pro.
Even that careless attitude and innocent smile...
She's not even doing anything and I'm being charmed...

This isn't the time for me to be impressed!


Page 021


That'll conclude the audition portion of today.
The judges will now announce the results!

About the judgement...


Page 022


We've decided on number 47. 961 Pro's Hoshii Miki!
Eh!? You chose Miki? Yay!

Miki...

T-T-There'll still be other auditions.
I did my best out there too.

Y-You're right. I think you all did well today!


Page 023


Hey! Why did you choose Miki!
Tell me the reason you didn't choose this cute Iori-chan!

Iori!

Haha...
Ah

Hibiki...Did you come to brag that 961 Pro won?

What're you talking about? 961 Pro didn't get chosen. Project Fairy didn't get chosen either!


Page 024


Miki was chosen!!

Eh...

Hibiki...

Yuutarou...you sure have changed.


Page 025


Haa...

When I look at you now, Yuutarou, I feel like I understand what President Kuroi meant when he said "A prince is always lonely."
Miki's become someone who would say something like that... Has the way 961 Pro does things made Miki grow like that?
Hibiki and Shijou... Their abilities as idols are truly spectacular...

Choose the cast by next week!
If we keep up this pace of walking forward, like with the audition, soon enough we'll catch up with them.

I won't lose to their feeling of wanting to become top idols.

Now that I see the difference in skill maybe I should change the way we do things...
Maybe we should... Instead of having unity, like we've always done, we should do things more like 961 Pro does...!?


Page 026


Grandpa, I... I just don't know what I should do...!

That was a good bath today too.
Huh... I thought you went to the dryer, Haruka-chan...

Ah... Yeah. That's what I was doing, wasn't it...
Haruka-san, you're looking a bit down.


Page 027


Miki! You...

Shh.

I've changed...?

Before you used to give each person advice on what they did wrong individually.
But now is slightly different.

Ah...

Lately I've been thinking of "everyone..."


Page 028


Miki didn't join 961 Pro because she thought the was President Kuroi did things was good or bad.

When I look at you now, Yuutarou, I feel like I understand what President Kuroi meant when he said
"A prince is always lonely."


Page 029


...Miki's right...
I've... been thinking of the power of unity...

Miki! Producer-san!?

...It was just a small conversation we had.

Grandpa...
I...


Page 030


Now then...

It's time to
make our next move...
