(This is a translation of a story from Ansamburu Stars.)
- Rainbow
【Roundabout/15】
narration
- ……Hmm? Why are you smiling? Did I say something funny?
hokuto
- It's a little novel and fun to bring friends together like this
anzu
- Huhu. I suppose so. when you transferred here, most of the students were already in a unit, so this is the first time you're getting idols to fit the job.
hokuto
- Yeah. Better get used to it while you can.
hokuto
- I didn't want to burden you further, so I decided to do as much as I could on my own, but I should have had a reliable producer help me from the beginning.
hokuto
- As you can see, I couldn't get results on my own, so I need your help.
hokuto
- I was going to help from the beginning. I am also involved in the saga project.
anzu
- Yeah. ....... I was distant, wasn't I, I'm sorry about that.
hokuto
- Putting them outside the mosquito net is not the same as caring.
hokuto
- It's not too late to help us gather our friends, and we would be glad if you could help us.
hokuto
- Since you're here, you can think of it as scouting practice too. I'm sure not only this experience, but any hardship you go through will not be in vain.
hokuto
- Believe that, and we'll work together just a little bit longer.
hokuto
- ……♪(shaking hands with satisfaction.)
hokuto
- Sorry! I'm late!
chiaki
- Oh? Well, we've been waiting for you. ...... Morisawa Senpai
hokuto
- Yeah! Sorry to keep you waiting! Well, Hidaka and the transfer student. Sorry we're late!
chiaki
- Oh, please raise your head! It's all right. I wasn't bored because I was talking to a new student.
hokuto
- Huhu, Well, good! ...... You guys look like you're getting along great, holding hands and all!
chiaki
- I don't think that's very good, because you're the opposite sex. You never know who's watching.
chiaki
- Oh......., Transfer students don't feel like girls very often, so it's easy to forget to care for them.
hokuto
- Natural rudeness!
chiaki
- You mean that you are so united in your fellowship that you are unaware of the difference between the sexes! I'll take that as a good sign!
chiaki
- Thank God. Anyway, sorry for calling you all this way. You must have been busy. Morisawasenpai
hokuto
- Yeah! Pretty busy!
chiaki
- "Ryuseitai" is mainly first-year students who are still new to the activity, since we had a disappointing result at the [DDD]!
chiaki
- We're not in a situation where we can just wait and get work, so we're running around and looking for requests.
chiaki
- I also need to teach them passionately from the beginning, as they don't know the basics of idols.
chiaki
- I was still instructing them to continue their lessons while I was gone, but I was late because I was worried about them and trying to convince the younger ones who were not willing to talk or do anything.
chiaki
- That's no excuse for being late, though. It's my fault for not being properly senior.
chiaki
- But I couldn't find Kanata at all, and Mikezimasan didn't seem to want to get involved, so I went to ....... I have to do it.
chiaki
- Well, it's fulfilling and fun! Huhahahaha♪
chiaki
- (Hmmm. ....... I was worried because Akehosi had said so many bad things about him, but Morisawa-senpai seems to be a fine person after all)
hokuto
- (A fresh and reliable senior. A rare type at our school.)
hokuto
- Hmm? What's up with the staring? If you fall in love with me, you'll get burned☆
chiaki
- No....... More importantly, you seem really busy, so I'll get right to the point.
hokuto
- Yeah. Sorry for all the chatter.
chiaki
- Anyway, I'm aware of the general situation, too. It's the Saga Project, right? Sounds like an interesting project.
chiaki
- It's the burning development I've dreamed of, the revival of the Sagami sensai I've always admired♪
chiaki
- Hmm? Do you know what the saga project is about?
hokuto
- Yeah. I got a little hurt and went to the infirmary. ...... So I asked he about it while we were making small talk.
chiaki
- The project did not seem to be a clandestine one, and I was given a detailed explanation of the project.
chiaki
- Sagami sensei seemed to be surprisingly enthusiastic about it, and said he was working hard on voice training.
chiaki
- That's right. ....... That lazy teacher, this time it seems he's serious in his own way.
hokuto
- That's why. In order not to let such efforts of the Sagami sensei go to waste, we need to gather colleagues who are in line with our plans!
hokuto
- If Morisawa Senpai can help us, we will be a hundred strong.
hokuto
- Please, will you join us?
hokuto
- Yeah! I owe Sagami sensei a debt of gratitude and he is my idol!
chiaki
- I wanted to help my teacher!
chiaki
- Oh ...... So does that mean?
hokuto
- Yeah! So I'm very sorry and I'm sorry, but I decline your invitation!
chiaki
- ……
hokuto
- ……Huh? What? Why? I don't understand the logic!
hokuto
- Why, Morisawa Senpai. I thought for sure you would be able to help us.
hokuto
- Frankly, I am discouraged. My mind went blank for a moment. ...... I need you to explain why.
