【Revival/25】
narration
- Hey. I've changed my clothes. Sorry I'm late joining you.
jin
- Yeah. Reflect on that.
hokuto
- For some reason, "Ba-barrier", our opponent, didn't show up at all, and I was worried that we were the ones who got the time wrong
hokuto
- Well, it's no problem, because I've made it exciting with my and Himemiya's impromptu comedy.
hokuto
- There is only a problem……. Oh, I can't wait to go home and sleep under the covers and pretend that today's events were just a dream. I want to forget.
tori
- I can't believe Eichi-sama saw me.
tori
- Ahaha. Did you guys make up without knowing it?
chiaki
- I'm glad you guys seemed to be having a good time. And it's great that you didn't bore your guests during the waiting time♪
chiaki
- But, well, it is still embarrassing to stand in front of such a mass audience wearing an idol costume. Why are there so many customers gathered here?
jin
- Yeah, there are more customers than I expected. Did the magazine company that planned the saga project do their best to promote it?
hokuto
- I don't think magazines have much of a publicity effect nowadays.
jin
- I heard from "Tantousan", who is here today to support me, that for some reason it's all over the internet.
jin
- Ah, I see he is with Anzu. That guy is still a student, right?
chiaki
- He's a part-timer, not even a new hire in terms of position, because he's related to a great guy at the magazine company or something.
chiaki
- Yeah. That's what I heard. Even "Tantousan" himself was pale, as if he was afraid that the saga project was more exciting than he expected.
jin
- If there is some kind of conspiracy behind the saga project, I suspect "Tantousan", the liaison with the magazine company, but by the looks of him, he probably doesn't know anything about it.
jin
- Did you still suspect that?
chiaki
- The basic rule of law is innocent until proven guilty. Let's trust "Tantousan" more, because he is a good man who is doing his best to be serious.
chiaki
- I'm not punishing, I trust his character. But the more serious those good kids are, the more they get manipulated by bad adults.
jin
- You and transfer student are like that, so be careful. These are not the days of "no demons in the world to cross.
jin
- Mu. contradiction came this way. I didn't say anything……
tori
- I mean, as an idol, it's good to have lots of customers, right? What's wrong with that?
tori
- Kids are simple. I'll learn a little from them too. You're absolutely right.
jin
- It could simply be that the saga project is in demand in our time, and it's just getting a boost in the right order.
jin
- There are fewer young people now because we're an aging society, and if anything, old people steeped in nostalgia form the largest market.
jin
- It means that a nostalgic retired idol can bring in more customers and make more money than a sparkling unknown newcomer. It's a disgusting time……
jin
- I wonder if the magazine company, or rather the great people at the client, knew about those trends of the times.
jin
- Come to think of it, there's been a revival boom all these years. As for me, I'm glad we can now easily access old titles.
chiaki
- No……, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to see more young kids do well and create a new world.
jin
- If the landscape doesn't change all the time, it's as good as dead. So, you guys give it your all today.
jin
- Those kids are many times more awesome than Sagamijin! Surprise them so much that they'll say
jin
- I want you to eat me, use me as a stepping stone, and move on.
jin
- When the saga project is over, I plan to retire this time and spend the rest of my life in elegance, watching you guys.
jin
- You sound like an old man right away. You are still young, teacher.
hokuto
- You see, when customers see Sagami sensei, they say, "Who is that boy? Is he new? He's so cool!
hokuto
- Ahaha. teacher, you look so much younger now that you've shaved your beard.
chiaki
- Yeah. I always want you to be that clean.
tori
- Eh, it's a pain in the ass…… From what I've heard from the audience, it sounds like some people don't really know what this is all about.
jin
- Because the admission prices are very low, with no thought of making money to use up the budget.
chiaki
- In our case, we don't know if there's a next stage.
chiaki
- Well, the saga project is a project that could end its serialization at any time.
jin
- But by the looks of things, I think it will continue for the foreseeable future.
jin
- Yeah……. There were more people of different generations than usual, so much so that I didn't know how to behave.
tori
- Just be yourself. I always do.
hokuto
- You just can't do anything else.
tori
- Hmmm. It really seems like we're getting one customer after another.
tori
- Seems like there are more students than usual at the show.
tori
- Yeah. When you have guests from off-campus, most students don't watch the games near the stage.
hokuto
- Huhu. I'm sure all the students would love to see their teacher in his or her element, up close and personal. If I were in the same position, I'd be in the front row watching.
chiaki
- Uu~……. You didn't have to see it. You have better things to do.
jin
- I wonder if people are starving for topics because there was no new movement before [DDD].
jin
- I mean, wasn't it a rule that when a live concert invites guests from outside the school, the students basically watch the show on monitors in the classrooms?
jin
- That's what's recommended, but I don't think it's in the rules.
hokuto
- ……Don't hunch over, doctor, it doesn't look good.
hokuto
- Yeah. You're the leader, so stand tall.
