Miroku Renge fan club - 1

[Sanshuu Middle School - Hallway]

Nogi Wakaba fan club: Kyah kyah! Nogi-san! Nogi-san! Kyah kyah!!

Aizawa Eri: Nogi-san! Today is the day you will attend a fan club dinner party!

Yamada Yoshiko: Sandwiches with 100 ingredients which required the skill of the entire fan club!

Suzuki Tomoka: With all kinds of sauces from seasonal mayonnaise to novelty mustard♪

Kimura Sawako: So please! Please, come!

Nogi Wakaba fan club: To the Nogi Wakaba fan club's secret flower garden!!

[Hero Club room]

Ren: What is all this ruckus?

Tak: Aah, it looks like Wakaba-chan's fan club is back at it again.

Ren: Fan club?

Chi: How are they so stubborn...

Hin: W-W-Would you like some bubuzuke~♪

Tam: Oh. You shut them up. Nice, Hinata!

Uta: But still, they're so passionate each and every time. Wakaba sure is popular.

Mit: But aren't there over 50 people in this fan club by now?

Kir: Haa! That's crazy. Waka's high up there.

Ren: I cannot fathom...

Shi: Eh, what...?

Ren: How is it that Wakaba has a fan club dedicated to herself, whereas Miroku does not?

Suz: Well, you know... stuff?

Ren: Yumiko!

Yum: Waaah, yes!? W-What is it?

Ren: Does Wakaba distribute autographed photos as Miroku does?

Ren: Does she sign students' textbooks as well as gladly requesting handshakes?

Yum: Reque...sting? N-No, I am afraid not...

Ren: I see. She does not, you say? How come she has a fan club, if that is the truth?

Suz: Why... Thinking about why. That alone is strange enough, I can't retort to it...

Yum: Ancestor-sama, it has not been long since your arrival, perhaps your reputation is simply low...

Ren: Reputation...

Kar: No, it's high. Her reputation is that of a weirdo pushing photos of herself onto people or even signing.

Sek: Yeah. Talking about reputation, she's above Nogii.

Ren: I see... Hmph. It is a matter of reputation...

Suz: Ah, she wasn't listening... She didn't listen to the part she should have listened to the most...


Miroku Renge fan club - 2

[The next day]

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: Rengeeeeeeee!

Shi/Suz: Hyah!?

Ren: What is it?

Fuu: Don't act like you don't know! You've plastered election-like posters all over the hallways!

Fuu: And I'm just back from a harsh scolding from the teachers!

Ren: Hmph, allow me to tell you.

Fuu: Wha-...

Ren: Suzume, proceed.

Suz: Y-Yes... Uuh... Unmatched at sports. Cool. Tall. Calm and collected. A nice face.

Suz: Such are the reasons for Wakaba-san's popularity as given by her fans, chirp...

Ren: I see... Hmph. You described Miroku wonderfully precisely.

Shi: Not at all in my opinion...

Ren: Since we are so much alike, a plan would be to appeal by use of a quality Wakaba lacks.

Yum: Wakaba-san cannot cook, and is unskilled at housework. Victory resides here!

Fuu: Eh... What?

Sek: It's like a new type of impulse.

Fuu: Aah... Impulses. Well... We can't do anything about those.

Ren: Yumiko. With these points in mind, create a slogan for Miroku.

Yum: Right away! Attractive face, excellent results, Miroku Renge! Miroku Renge is talented at cooking and cleaning!

Ren: Hmph... Per-fection.

Kar: Heeeeey! Don't cut the word in half like "extermi-nation"!

Anz: Um... Sorry for butting in, but very rarely does being good at cleaning affect a girl's popularity... I think?

Ren: ...Miroku is no good cleaner, I reach transcendent levels of cleaning, and you still say so? How come?

Anz: Ah, uh... Well... That's...

SON: The maiden heart is just irrational~. While "Jeez! Let me help you!" sounds good...

Son: Them being able to cook food that tastes better than your own is a surefire way to make you angry and irritated~.

Anz: I think Wakaba-san's popularity comes down to the fact that she's not perfect at everything. As a girl...

SON: Like "Ah... She couldn't live without me..." or "I have to cook for her!"~.

Son: When you think "I have to do things for this person!", it really gets you addicted~.

Ren: Hmph... So?

SON: The important part is to appeal to their "maternal instincts". To sum it up maybe~?

Son: Something like "I can't abandon her!"~? Girls wanna feel needed~!

Anz: Aah! I understand. Wakaba-san is very cool, which only highlights her few flaws!

Anz: That side of her is so cute, it makes you want to care for her, but you know she'll be there to protect you in times of need!

Tam: H-Hey, Anzu... Anzu...?

Anz: She really hits the "gap moe", and that's what makes your heart all tingly~♪

Ren: Gap... moe. Indeed... I understand.

Hin: Anzu-san... Let us talk in the other room.

Anz: Yes!? Hi-Hinata-san!? T-That's not what you think! That was just the general opinion... Noooo~!

Ren: Um... Um... Maternal instincts...

Anz: Renge-san, please explain to Hinata-san! Renge-saaaaaaaaan!


Miroku Renge fan club - 3

[Hero Club room]

Yuu/Its/Tou: Eh!?

Suz: Aah, I can't believe I broke so many plates!

Sek: You can't believe... It's not anything unexpected from you though.

Meb/Aya/Nat: Eeh!?

Yum: Hyawawaaah! I cannot believe I have spilled water in the clubroom!

Tam/Fuu/Kar: Whyyyyyyyyyy!!?

Ren: Hmph. A wonderful display of clumsiness. What do you say? Those who this has roused their maternal instincts, raise your hand!

Gin/Shi/Sum: Haa...?

Aka: What... is that? I don't get it but I think raising my hand would be the right thing to do... Even if I'm alone...

Kir: Ya know... Her way of thinkin' kinda makes ya wonder if she thinks at all... Can't do nothin' but wait for her to cool down...

Ren: Hmph, effects confirmed. There is now not a doubt Miroku shall gain a fan club by behaving in this way.

Kar: That's more creepy than anything though...

Hin: Why do you want a fan club this bad? The only thing this sort of group is is a nuisance.

Chi: Your true intentions are leaking... Uesato-san.

Aka: I agree. It must be suffocating to be followed like Wakaba-san.

Kir: Is that jealousy I feel? "Renchi~. Am I not good enough...?", like that?

SON/Son: Byoooooooooooo!! "Only look at me, Renchii!"

Aka: I didn't say anything like that!

Ren: Hmph, I apologize. Yuuna.

Aka: Ha...?

Ren: Miroku is a guide for humanity. Nay, its sun. Therefore, Miroku cannot only shine upon you.

Suz: A-Arrogant much! Has there ever been someone as arrogant in human history? No! Rhetorical question.

Aka: ...Just do what you want.

Ren: Miroku shall not wait for your approval. For the reason that Miroku is Miroku.

Its: "Miroku" is starting to not mean anything to me anymore...

Yum: A-Ancestor-sama... I understand your feelings, however, is a fan club truly worth more than your friendship with Akamine-san...

Ren: Positive. Miroku shall not tolerate someone above Miroku. For as long as Wakaba retains the popularity top spot, Miroku shall continue the fight.

Gin: Somehow, just listening to the words... sounded really cool...

Sum: But... what it implies is absurd...

Kir: Ya know how it is. Wantin' to surpass Wakaba by all means is her thing.

Fuu: I guess you can't become a Hero without quirks and impulses... Or is it becoming a Hero that develops them... that's a mystery.

Tou: Strong impulses are frightening... Should we report it to the Taisha?

Sek/Fuu/Kar: You have no right to taaaaaaaalk!

Tou: Eeh!?


Miroku Renge fan club - 4

[After school]

[Sanshuu Middle School - schoolyard]

Nogi Wakaba fan club: Kyah kyah! Nogi-san! Second base Nogi-san! So cool!

Fuu: Hero Club who's only requested in helping sports clubs in times like these. Go for iiiiit!

Ren: The opportunity to repaint Wakaba's fan club into Miroku's fan club is upon us! Yumiko.

Yum: Y-Yes... If it is an order from you, I cannot hesitate, but... Am I truly fit for this?

Ren: By you doing so and leaving a good impression. Such will grant Miroku the knowledge of a prior experience.

Ren: Begin the maternal instincts acquisition project. My descendant, Yumiko. Be bold, magnificent, pitiable!

Gin/Sek/Suz: She's not doing it herself...

Mit: I don't really know why, but all the tsukkomis are sighing at once...

Yum: I-I, Miroku Yumiko! Will majestically topple for ancestor-sama! Riri, urii!

Wak: Wha-! She dived so far away from the base!? Miroku-san, this is reckless!

Nogi Wakaba fan club: Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaah♪

Ren: W-Wakaba-san... You should have protected the second base, and yet you dropped the glove for me, your opponent...?

Wak: That was dangerous. You slid head first with your hands in your back... Are you okay? Aren't you hurt?

Yum: Ba-dump...

Chi/Meb/Kar: Eh...

Tam: Tahaaa! Quick as ever. Watching her fall was funny, but that's just who Wakaba is♪

Tak: Miroku-san, Wakaba-chan, are you okay!? ...Wait, what? Wakaba-chan, isn't your gym uniform too small?

Wak: Hm... Aah!? Awaaah! It's Sonoko's!? How did I make this mistake... i-it's embarrassing.

Nogi Wakaba fan club: Bad-dump♪

Anz/SON/Son: Ba-dump~~♪.

Shi/Mit/Its: Eeeh~~...

Ren: Did she... trick them into rousing their maternal instincts. I see. Showing your flaws after gallantly rushing to her aid is your technique...

Kir: Nah, Waka didn't plan for nothin'? D'you get that?

Ren: Hmph. Fufufufu. Miroku cannot remain silent after such a brilliant example.

Ren: Nogi Wakaba! Behold!

Wak: Eh?

Mir: Miroku hereby declares, I will master the secret of your maternal instincts crash, and I shall steal your fan club from you!

Wak: Ooh... Eh? Secret Eh?

Aka: Renchi. Cut this out already!

Ren: Yuuna? Ha, this expression. Are you perhaps angry? Seriously...

Aka: Yeah I am. I know I said do what you want, but if you fall like Yumiko, you're gonna peel the skin off your face!

Aka: I will not... let you get hurt. Because if you're hurt... You can't fight... with me, your rival... so.

Ren: .........Yuuna. ......Miroku was wrong. I give up.

Kar: Hey!? What's up with apologizing so quickly!? The pressure difference was so sudden my ears are ringing!

Hin: My, it seems Akamine-san has made Renge-san's heart skip a beat♪

Kir: Akana's Rokku's n°1 fan, and Rokku's Akana's n°1 fan.

Suz: If it's going to just stop, please don't cause commotions like that in the first place...

Anz: Hearts racing left and right, and they lived happily ever after♪

Yum: Um, excuse me... What about me, who has put my life in danger, and subjected myself to heart flutters in vain!?

Shi: At least your skin didn't come off... It's a happy end.
