narration
- Excuse me, may I come in♪
mika
- This is the last room. Let's make it quick, lunch break is almost over. ...... Um, Harkawakun.
mika
- Yes! Sola will do her best. Mekanii-san!
sora
- No, it's not 'Meka', it's 'Mika', okay? And I don't really like first names, so I'd rather you call me by my last name.
mika
- HaHa~♪ Okay, I'll go with 'Kagenii-san'!
sora
- Hmm~? I'm not your brother, am I?
mika
- But it kind of feels that way. ...... Huh?
sora
- Why? Can I help you? This practice room is in use.
akiomi
- Nhaa Sorry! I think I may have gotten the wrong room.
mika
- HiHi~♪ Then Sola said. You were right to turn right at the corner earlier, not left.
sora
- Uu...... still get lost often because the structure of this school is so complicated.
mika
- You're a new student and it's amazing you understand which roads lead where.
mika
- Yay! Glad to hear the compliment! Reading maps is a basic skill for gamers~♪
sora
- well, Kagehira from class B and the new student over there ....... Harukawa, right?
jin
- Are you guys maybe working part-time as cleaners?
jin
- Nha. Yes! A part-time job cleaning practice rooms used for classes and such ......
mika
- The reward is not very much. is to save funds for "Valkyrie" activities, even if only a little.
mika
- Sola should also be active in extracurricular activities and get used to communication and such. Shisho~ told me to do so!
sora
- "Switch" doesn't participate in the official DriFest very often, so it seems like they don't have enough money to fund their activities.
sora
- Hmmm. Then that's just fine. And clean this room while you're at it.
jin
- I'm very tired because of Kunugi sensei's strict instruction, and I was just about to finish.
jin
- I don't have the energy to clean up. It would be great if you guys could do it for me.
jin
- Hmm? Then I demand to be paid for my labor! equivalent exchange~
sora
- Calculating. All right, all right. I'll give you an allowance~♪
jin
- ……......Kagehira kun and Harukawa kun, don't just work part-time, do your idol work properly
akiomi
- Money is only a means to an end. It should not be an end.
akiomi
- Nha~……I know, but I don't have a choice because Oshisan can't move.
mika
- What? When you talk to people, don't whisper, look them in the eye and speak clearly!
akiomi
- I was scolded!? Nha~, But I'm not good at looking other people in the eye!
mika
- (Huhu. Kunugi-sensei is preaching for my sake, isn't he? Glad.)
mika
- (Nalchan just loves this guy. He may be harsh in his words, but he may really be a kind person♪)
mika
- ? What? It's also rude to stare at people more than you should.
akiomi
- I think it's just enough to talk while looking at the other person's forehead.
akiomi
- I'm learning~. ...... Then, Kagenii-san, let's clean this room too!
sora
- Uh, yeah. Well, let me get started on that.
mika
- Thanks~. ……Oh, I'm tired. My joints are hurting. I'm not getting any younger.
jin
- You knew that from the beginning.
akiomi
- It's impossible to revive an idol after retirement. You have to do it deceptively.
akiomi
- ? What do you mean? It seems that the teachers were giving lessons, but what does revival mean ......? debut as idols again?
mika
- No, never mind. It's none of your business.
akiomi
- But I'm curious about ....... Resurrection ....... I hope Oshisan is up and running again.
mika
- Osisan? Ah, Itsuki-kun? Is that boy all right?
akiomi
- He seems to be not attending classes at all, and if this continues, his graduation will be in jeopardy.
akiomi
- Nha? It's all right! Don't worry! If you don't have enough attendance days, I will attend the class instead of Oshisan!
mika
- No. ....... It doesn't make any sense for you, who is in a different grade, to attend instead.
akiomi
- (Hmm. It would be a shame to see Itsukikun's talent go down the drain. ...... Something will have to be done about that.)
akiomi
- (Well, teachers are not parents, and high school is not compulsory education, so I don't think you should mess with them too much.)
akiomi
- (We don't have time to worry about dropouts, and the entertainment industry is not kind.)
akiomi
- (I think so, but ....... It would be unfit to be a teacher to give up on a student so easily.)
akiomi
- What's going on? There is nothing wrong with Oshisan! Really!
mika
- Ah, yeah. ....... Itsuki-kun is a problem, but you should be active too
akiomi
- The reputation of "Valkyrie," once the pinnacle of the academy, will go down.
akiomi
- You, I think you have talent. You should do your best. Hard work will never betray you.
akiomi
- Ugh, yes, but ....... I can't just move on my own. Valkyrie" is only possible with Oshisan.
mika
- Hey, I don't care, but if going to clean up, let's do it quickly. It's almost the end of your lunch break. We'll help you, too. Let's hurry up and get this done.
jin
- Nha, Yeah! Let's do our best, Harukawakun, together♪
mika
- yes! Sempai said that cleaning leads to feng shui, so this is another "wizard" practice! HaHiHuHeHo~♪
