narration
- ……
tori
- All right. Himemiya seems to be in a better mood after eating the sweet treats that the transfer student prepared for this meeting. ......
hokuto
- Let's resume our interrupted meeting as soon as possible.
hokuto
- ...... doesn't cure my mood. Oh my god that sucks.
tori
- I am not so naive as to be tamed by a single candy bar like this. I should be offered something more befitting a noble me!
tori
- Is it not sweet. It's a candy bar. Huhu. I know what you mean, Himemiya
hokuto
- ……? ……?
tori
- Don't talk to me so casually. Hidaka Senpai! You traitor! I've never forgiven you!
tori
- Well, well, ....... Don't be so angry, just be patient and go along for now. Here, have a cookie♪
chiaki
- So I won't be fooled by something sweet! Don't treat me like a child!
tori
- Don't say that. Look, there's some konpeito.
hokuto
- ……? What is this? I've never seen this before. Don't try to feed me something weird! Konpeito? Where is this candy from?
tori
- ……Huhu♪
hokuto
- Why did you laugh? I feel like a fool! Disgusting!
tori
- Yeah. That's enough chit-chat. We're all busy here, so let's not waste time and make the most of it.
jin
- Yeah. Himemiya, I know you're not happy, but be smart. Tenshoin must have had something in mind when he sent you here, right?
chiaki
- If you don't do your part as requested, you'll be disappointing that guy. Was ...... a sly way of putting it?
chiaki
- ...... muu. But I'm not going to do it at all! I don't know if it's a saga project or what, but it's really an unnecessary detour!
tori
- Duh, I just want to get it over with and get back to my "fine" lessons~!
tori
- Mm. To that end, let's all discuss our future plans and other matters thoroughly. Come on, eat more candy♪
chiaki
- Hey, haven't you been trying to bait me for a while now? Morisawa Senpai? You're a little cocky! Hold it back!
tori
- (Hmm. But Morisawa Senpai is great. He is guiding Himemiya well. I should just respond like that. I'm learning a lot.)
hokuto
- (Is it like giving a ten-yen coin to get Akehoshi to do what my say)
hokuto
- (No. ....... That's a ritual that Akehosi understands and is on board with, and it's our own private ritual.)
hokuto
- (It doesn't work for everyone.)
hokuto
- (I feel that if we don't learn more winning methods that work for something other than "Trickstar", we won't be able to survive in the tough entertainment industry.)
hokuto
- (This saga project is a good opportunity. Let's learn from it at best. manners of an idol.)
hokuto
- ...... yeah. It sounds like we each have our own thoughts, but well, since you've decided to participate, I hope you'll do moderately well.
jin
- I pray that the saga Project is not really a 'wasted detour' for you guys.
jin
- Thanks for deciding to help this time.
jin
- Hm. That's unusually polite. Sagami Sensei.
hokuto
- Sometimes. Adults are supposed to bow down. You guys should be able to behave when you need to.
jin
- Anyway, this is the first meeting with these members, so we will interact and confirm future plans.
jin
- And while we're at it, we can decide on one thing.
jin
- Aww~. I'm in charge, is that okay? If anyone wants to do it, I'll leave it to you.
jin
- No, the teacher should do it. You're the one who's in charge here.
hokuto
- Yeah. The teacher is the most senior person in the company. It is the most natural thing for the teacher to be in charge.
chiaki
- Mm-hmm. Well, I'm the greatest.
tori
- On what basis. You were well behaved when you first entered the school, now personality is the real you?
jin
- Oh well. Then I'll take the lead on the regular. Anyway, we all know what the saga project is about, right?
jin
- What about Himemiya? If you don't know anything about it, I can explain.
jin
- It's okay. I've read the materials that were shared with me beforehand, and I've asked the Chairman and Yuzuru about the parts I don't understand.
tori
- Of course, we've been involved in this project since its inception, so we have a general grasp of what's going on.
hokuto
- I've had no problems so far either.
chiaki
- your honor student. If all my students were as smart as you guys, I'd have it easy.
jin
- Anyway. I'll skip the description of the saga project, since everyone seems to know what it is about.
jin
- We're going to talk about our future plans first, so if you have any questions, just let me know in a timely manner.
jin
- Saga projects are serialized in a weekly magazine, and articles are written by employees of that magazine
jin
- That person is not here right now, so I'll introduce him later, but for now, I'll call him "Tantousan" here for the sake of convenience.
jin
- Once a week, "Tantousan" comes to our place for an interview or to take pictures for a magazine.
jin
- Then they write the article by the deadline, we check it and if it's okay, they put it in the magazine.
jin
- The content is about the legendary idol ...... well, me.
jin
- It's like a retired idol like me coming back and mentoring the younger kids. They say it's like a story, and they portray it in a dramatic way.
jin
- Was it a hot-blooded teacher thing, or was it more like a teacher-student thing?
jin
- It seems that idol training schools and entertainment agencies all over the country are doing that kind of thing at the same time.
jin
- Well, now that I'm the only legendary and retired idol participating, it's going to be almost like an exclusive article about us, apparently.
jin
- It seems that if the negotiations go well, there will be more and more people in the same position later on.
jin
- If that happens, our treatment will be smaller due to the space available for the article.
jin
- I mean, well, then you won't have to work so hard.
jin
- But for now, we're all we've got, so we need to let some drama unfold.
jin
- When you say drama, what exactly does that mean?
hokuto
- Hmm. Especially since it seems that Hidaka had a hard time gathering his friends, I think he will first write an interesting adaptation of that in the first installment.
jin
- I'm sure "Tantousan" will come to talk to you soon, so make sure you handle it properly.
jin
- Hmm. Well. Understood.
