Rocket Start ~star gazer~ Chapter 5

[nebulancer]

Wataru: Funfufu~n♪ Look there, Natsume-kun, take a gander! The "auditorium" where the [Golden Star Cup] will be held has come into sight!

Wellll, how thrilling! This instant of jubilation is quite the same as that of stepping foot into a theater...☆

The Theater Club's performance-- rather, until my own turn, this shall be the passing of time.

Oddly enough, I have not once seen Hokuto-kun be an idol beforehand, so I am terribly excited here.

Come, come, please take care of your step! On the right, we may see the "auditorium"...☆

Natsume: It's all right to not explain everything as if you were a guidE, Master. A fortune teller's eyes are gooD, so from this distance there's no way I would not be able to see, correcT?

Wataru: Eh~? Natsume-kun, for some reason, you have lowered your face such that I had misunderstood that you could not see! Why do you look downward, though you are so cute at the moment♪

Natsume: I'd saiD... Aah, geeZ, as MAster enjoys speaking so much, you don't listen to others' words too much, indeeD?

Quite the self-centered persoN, or could that thing be an attracting forcE?

Wataru: Fufufu. For we "Five Oddballs" lack this kind of interactivity; as a rule of thumb, being a genius means that something else takes its place to be sacrificed.

That is why. Such that these solitary five people could be able to interact, or even moreso get along is quite the profound mystery, is it not?

Aah, what a miracle it is...☆

Natsume: You go overboard for each and every thinG; will you be all right for your performance in that conditioN?

Instead of being especially beautiful or especially proper, your role was a type which would charm without speaking, correcT?

Wataru: Ahaha. As if I had put on a mask, I shall properly change once I am upon the stage.

Natsume: Hmmmm... Though Master will do welL, this performance is treated as a club activity and thus not be recognized as a Dreamfes, correcT?

No matter the results that come out of iT, they won't be reflected in grades, yeS?

Wataru: Grades of the school are not "all there is," for once we graduate it is not as if one's life would end.

There is a sense of relief as we remember, even if we were to by chance slip up, we would not be a burden to that of the other club members.

Fufufu. I was recently able to, at long last, find the cute points of our Hokuto-kun, indeed.

As always, his acting is absolutely no good, but so~mehow he's quite pitifully desperate...♪

As my method of coaching is rather harsh, I'd felt that he had disliked me after believing me to be an understandable person.

As I'd believed he would surely hit the limits of his talent and soon give up.

Some way or another, he at least has guts.

If he were to not stop in his tracks, in some time quite possibly... He may one day, very well, be able to reach somewhere.

Fufufu. Surprisingly enough, that boy will have an enjoyable time ahead.

Natsume: Uu~N. Don't only lavish that child of the Theater Club; teach me magic or the like as welL.

There's a world beyond self-studyinG, and during the Middle Ages that kind of learning had a cessation of existencE.

Wataru: Eh~. Natsume-kun has absorbed just about anything that I have taught you, so it is not a bit interesting.

It isn't possible for me to be neither surprised nor moved. You could do well without my guidance and with your own ability.

Your life is one which belongs to yourself. It is not needed for one to have another person lay hands upon your very own scenario.

What I shall say is up to that point only.

Natsume: I'll keep that in mind veeery welL... More importantly, Master, would it be acceptable for me to move separately this one timE?

Wataru: Eh, for what reason?

Let us view the [Golden Star Cup] together~, while conversing about in low voices about the impressions made and stuffing our faces with popcorn~♪

Natsume: I would as well greatly enjoy wanting to do sO, but I had declined the request for the [Golden Star Cup], remembeR?

If I were to happen across the client or whomever else it would be a nuisance, righT? Because I don't want to be dragged into a meaningless conflict I'd rather hidE.

I'll at least be properly watching Master's performancE. And after thaT, Shu-nii-san's Dreamfes as welL.

Wataru: Aah, so Shu was to do a live as well.

It seems I must be on standby somewhere nearby, then~. There are two or three points that are not to my liking on the stage outfit, so I do want some advice.

Natsume: Nn~. I've been worried lately due to Shu-nii-san seeming to be forced into a difficult positioN. If at all possiblE, I would like to go support him from backstage maybE.

At the moment Shu-nii-san is irritable near the point of deatH, so I don't want to give some unneeded provocatioN.

Wataru: Aah... Raging that he would reclaim the peak of Yumenosaki Academy, correct?

Shu's production is the best work of art-- but it would be meaningless if ourselves were the only ones to ensure that.

Natsume: As he has been harmed by the worlD, he must have wanted to conquer and be the one who was loveD.

An inferiority complex as well as a desire to be recognized have become the fuel for his productionS, without doubt... a threatening explosion would occur as welL.

Koga: Hey, stop screwin' with me, dammit! There's no way ya don't know a~nythin'!?

Ritsu: I'm telling you, I don't know anything~... Could there be something in your ears? Or is it, you don't have the "brains" to understand human talk?

Natsume: ...NN? I wonder what it could bE, a quarrel perhapS?

That iS... Oogami-kun in my clasS, and Rei-nii-san's younger brotheR.

As they are both quite the excellent idolS, I once searched up information on theM.

Wataru: Ooh, my friend's younger brother as well as the child who has caught his fancy! I must go to impart my greetings upon them♪

You two over there! Hello, it is Rei's friends' Hibiki Wataru...☆
