Colorful Days Chapter 13

1
(What goes in the mind of Ritsuko, the producer of the surging unit, Ryuuguu Komachi?)
To our future producer,
Are you keeping an eye on the unit I'm currently producing, Ryuuguu Komachi?

As the senior unit, they are doing a splendid job of astonishing everyone with their tremendous progress.
Though...
Perhaps they are doing too great of a job.

2
The Pandora's Box of the idol industry!
"Run! Producer Ritsuko!"

3
Okay, I get it.
I'll let you do your thing.
Understood.

That was one long talk with the chief, huh?
It involves everyone in our production after all...
Everyone, you say?

4
Yes, while everyone is doing great on their own for the Rookie Festa,
we haven't done a full house production yet.
All the jobs we received heads towards Ryuuguu Komachi,
but I want others to do some work too.


5
Of course, that also means I have to work harder.
I'll help in any ways I can!

That'll also lift some burdens from Ryuuguu Komachi...
A new job!?

It's all for the sake
of getting you guys working as much as you can.

Another thing...

6
Miki!
Ouch!

What happened to your lesson? How long are you planning to sleep?
Ritsuko...-san, stop it! An idol's face is her lifeline!
Before blabbering about that, get some manners!
(Also, turn off the heater!)

7
(That's what Kotori Said.)
But, that's Miki's sell point.

Yeah? Get out of here.
Miki refuse!

Next up...
Hello? Ah! Ami!
About today...Yes.
Don't worry about it, you'll be just fine.
Well then. Sorry, but you'll just have to handle it yourselves.

8
"I can't get my hands off from these work,
so you guys will have to do it yourselves!"

So she said...
Well, that was just like Ritsuko!
We aren't going to do anything stupid, okay?

(Somewhere in the city...)
I refuse.

I knew it...
But, you know,

9
I am doing this to get you more independent as an idol.
I don't see any idols there!

Eh? Look, Chihaya!
Cute, isn't it?

It's more of an actress's job.
You're right...

You too!?
Alrighty.

10
I'm also going to wear this, so follow my steps!
What the heck?


I will risk my own life
all for your sake,


All for us...
If this is something that's worth dying for...
11
I...I can't do it after all!


Huh? I thought there'll be only 2 people.
Um...

Oh well, please standby for now.
Um, I am the-

12
You said you'll risk it, right?
YOUR LIFE.
The job will be mind-assuring all thanks to you, Ritsuko!

Hold on-
No way.
Let me go!

13
Don't you start causing trouble just because Ritsuko isn't here!
Wasn't it your fault that we dissed the reporter?
What did you say just now!?

Um, I want to get our interview going...

...Hm?
Speaking of which, where's Sis Azusa!
She went to the bathroom, I think.
But she sure is taking a while.

14
We spent our interview time just to find Azusa...
Ah... Ricchan!

About today's job...
Sorry, Ami. Seems like the others are in trouble.
I'll talk to you when I'm back!
Bye.

Ricchan...
She seems distant these days...

15
Ritsuko's pretty late today, eh?
But it'll be another day of training
Ritsuko...Miss is really putting a lot on us.

If Miki makes a mistake, she gets mad instantly.
Wiki can't get any naps in with all the work she assigns,
and allows only one onigiri per day.
Miki hates it.

But,

16

Miki's having the best time ever since becoming an idol right now!
Yeah!
It's reassuring to have her by our side...
so let's do our best for her sake!

Yeah!
Sheesh...
Work as much as you want.

Ritsuko,
Ah, sorry, I'm going to a meeting.

17
Is that our score for the Rookie Fiesta?
No, it's Ryuuguu Komachi's.

Their performances are in a sharp decline.
Maybe these jobs
are too difficult for the girls right now after all.

If I remember correctly,
they doesn't seem as energetic these days.

Maybe it's not about the job's difficulty,
but because Ritsuko...-san weren't there with them?
Huh?

18
Miki would hate it,
if her producer isn't there with her.

T-That's a bit...
It's reassuring to have her by our side...

Wait...
Isn't that the No.1 rule of being a producer...?

19
Maybe because of that, their score has...

Ritsuko,
If you're worried, meet up with them already!

Ritsuko didn't come today either...
Enough of us being alone...

Guys-!

20
Ricchan!?
Guys,
I'm sorry!

What happened?

21
I've made lots of descsions on my own,
and didn't mention it to you guys.
Most importantly, I didn't communicate with you guys at all.

Chill,
you're the only producer in 765 Pro after all, Ricchan.

Ami...
She's right. You weren't messing around either.
Others probably appericated your help too.

Yeah...

22

I truly care about other idols from our production,
and brings them to idoldom.

But, Ryuuguu Komachi is
I want to be by your side as much as I can!

Ami too...

23

Ami might be a just bit happier if Ricchan is here with her.
I-I agree...
I'm looking forward to it!

Same here.
Our producer.

24
...Haruka
Yeah...

Looks like fun, huh?
Being with a producer...

Geez, you guys!
Ah, she got angry.

What's with the reaction?

It's been too long since you got this angry~
Please get angrier!

As expected of Ryuuguu Komachi, what a great bond they shares.

(Is this the product of love?)
