Impromptu Show

[nebulancer]

Hokuto: Hm, what's up, Transfer Student? Do you have business in the Theater Club's club room?

Hm. After I packed up and went home, there were print-outs that had been passed out to the homeroom. So you came to deliver those to me?

Thanks. I'm relieved.

In our homeroom... Sagami-sensei just can't shake off "that's the way he is," so I'm worried.

Hm. As both my parents were close friends with him, I've been able to make a connection with Sagami-sensei since I was young. Kind of a feeling of a relative as Onii-chan or such, but...

It seems like that that person has gotten worse over the years. Maybe it's necessary to have him be harshly scolded by my parents at least once.

If he, in the homeroom, doesn't act "properly," I, as the class representative, would be worried.

Whoa, sorry. I made you listen to my complaining, didn't I. Anyways. I'm really relieved, Transfer Student.

Aah, that's right... I have a meeting for the Theater Club today, so I can't participate in practice for "Trickstar."

I contacted the rest of them as well, but they might have forgotten... So I'd like them to have it told from you.

I'm always in your care, Transfer Student.

Whoa, let's end our talk here.

It's dangerous in this Theater Club, and it's better if you leave quickly after you've finished matters. If the Club President saw you, it'd become a huge pain.

Aah... I'll leave the matters of practice for "Trickstar" to you. If you're ever stuck, you can consult Isara.

I'm always open on the phone. That's why, you have to leave here.

Don't get the wrong idea; it's not that I think of you as irritating. It really is dangerous here, as here's the Theater Club President... One of the "Three Oddballs" Hibiki Wataru's dwelling.

Ugh, there are footsteps. There should be stage equipment there, so hide in the shadows of it.

Hurry up. Ngh, there's no time. Don't push yourself too hard...

Wha- huh?

Sorry. I rushed. I lost my balance and tripped.

There's no helping it, let's keep hiding ourselves this way. If it's just me and Transfer Student, we can conceal both of us.

I'm really sorry I made you hide yourself. Let's try not to bump into each other. Do you have any injuries from when you fell?

I'm glad. If you sustained even one scratch, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

You're our- my- important... huh?

Tomoya: Uwaahh, don't come here~!?

Wataru: For what reason are you running, Tomoya-kun! If you are suffering, then stand up to it! Otherwise, you would not be able to grow!

Upon the apex of a precipitous mountain, there lies heaven...☆ Amazing☆ Today as well, let us search for heaven together!

Even if it is an unending dream! Fuhahahahahaha!

Tomoya: D-don't keep getting closer while spouting words that make no sense, Masked Weirdo! Save me~, Hokuto-senpai~! I'm being contaminated~!

Wataru: Please do not say bad things of others while they can hear! I am not contaminating you; rather, I am decorating you!

To decorate is an idol, and to shine is thus the Theater Club...☆

You must have a complex about such a thing as "normalcy," do you not, Tomoya-kun! That is but a worry, as you have infinite attributes within you!

With a normal face, there shall be cosmetics to allow it to shine; you may become anything, and you may go anywhere!

Now, take my hand, and dance with me...☆

Tomoya: S-stop! Don't get close to meee!

What's that weird outfit in your hands? Y-you're planning to make me wear some dumb outfit to break my personality again, aren't you~!?

Wataru: Your personality, your soul shall not be broken, shall not be contaminated! You shall be stepped on, kneaded, and become colored, and thus is art!

In the hands of an artisan, claywork can defeat even jewelry! I shall teach that to you, Tomoya-kun...☆

Tomoya: I-I have no clue what you've been talking about! Stoooop, I keep telling you, don't get close to meeeeeeee!?

Hokuto: Quit it!

It's not good to "overdo it," get your hands off of Tomoya, Masked Weirdo!

(...Damn. I almost jumped out there. But I can't just keep watching and let my cute underclassman become prey to the weirdo!)

(This is tough, and while Transfer Student's hiding here... I have to do something to get her away from the club room without attracting the Masked Weirdo's attention.)

(And in that moment, Transfer Student can secretly run away! Let's go with this plan! I won't lose, people get stronger when they have someone to protect!)

...Ah- huh? No one's here?

But why? But there's only been Club President's and Tomoya's voices ever since?

Wataru: Fuffufufufu! You nearly completely fooled me, Hokuto-kun~☆

Hokuto: Whoooaaaa!? Why'd you come from behind me, you weirdo! Don't surprise me, you're always, always doing that!

Wataru: It is more important for me to surprise others than to have three full meals a day, Hokuto-kun!

Rather, it would not be an exaggeration to say that is why I am an idol...☆

Hokuto: W-what a troublesome way of life!?

Wataru: Those are compliments!

You must have been surprised, that previously I had been using my voice mimicry to voice "myself" and "Tomoya-kun" to become two in one! In short, that was an impromptu show!

All of it was in order to lure out Hokuto-kun! How was it, quite the performance, was it not?

For I have always been observing you two from nearby, my imitations of Tomoya-kun and Hokuto-kun are perfect...☆

Hokuto: Why do you go that far for such a useless skill!?

Wataru: So that I may plant seeds of ideas that you would be originally unwilling to think of.

The Transfer Student with which you had been talking with was but a fake, taken form by myself! You did not notice, did you not!

Fufufu, that sweet voice with which you had been whispering with! Was myself! How happy to be cherished by my underclassman, please grant me more of your words of love...☆

Hokuto: Wh-what're you saying? That's impossible, Transfer Student should've been here!

I wouldn't mistake the Transfer Student with whom I overcame suffering with and had our bonds linked with my own eyes! Say it's a lie, Club President!

Wataru: Yes, it was a lie~! Here is the Transfer Student who had been hiding herself, ta~daaa☆

Hokuto: Why, why did you make up that kind of meaningless lie!?

Wataru: I shall tell you: it was because I wanted to see your surprised face!

Too bad, Hokuto-kun, for the Theater Club club room is my dwelling! Within my heart! Everything is in the palm of my hands, from corner to corner...☆

There is no way I would not notice where you would be hiding, correct? My ears are good, so I even heard your secret conversation!

I do not mind if you are flirting, but please discern a wise time and place, all right?

Fuhahaha, so the reason Hokuto-kun had become "soft" was thanks to Transfer Student-san...☆ I am grateful!

For having seen Hokuto-kun acting shamefully was a rare sight, I am quite satisfied! However, I wish to see more and more...☆

Now, Transfer Student-san, please come out! Inspiration is overflowing!

Using you, it feels as if I may be able to see more of a side of Hokuto-kun that is quite rare...☆

Hokuto: Qu-quit it! Don't bring Transfer Student into this! If you're going to cause problems for anyone, do it only to me, Club President~!

Dammit! That's why I told her to leave as quickly as possible; she was the only one I didn't want to see this unsightly state of mine...!
