Tsukiuta. Girls’ 1st Season CD April – “sing my way"

[nebulancer]

1. OP (Mini-Drama)

[The season is spring, and the cherry blossoms are flying.

Flashback.]

 

Chisa: Wow~! The cherry blossom flowers are so pretty~!

Mama, look! They’re so pretty! Look! Ahaha!

Wow, it’s awesome! So awesome! The petals look just like snow! Ahaha!

? What’s that? There’s a bunch of people over there...?

 

...Whoa...! There’s people wearing really pretty clothes! They look just like princesses!

Hey, Papa! Carry up, pretty please? Chisa wants to get a closer look at the princesses!

...God...dess...? Those princesses are Goddesses?

Did they also come here to see the flowers?

...What’s a Goddess?

...They’re “important people who guide Earth and this world”...

Mm, what’s “guide”? Is it something super-cool?

 

Ooh... It’s super-cool, so that’s why they’re important! Wow, wow~

...Okay! Chisa knows! Chisa’s gonna be like that! Gonna be a Goddess!

I’ll become a Goddess and guide everyone!

 

[The school bell rings.]

 

Chisa: It’s over~! It’s over!

I also get the feeling that things are over in a different sense, but I won’t let that bother me for now! Anyway, now the merit tests are over, over, OVER!

I DID IT!!

...I could be out here wondering how heartless they have to be to make it necessary to take tests in order to move up a grade. But it’s fine now.

As long as things are done, I’m fine with whatever!

No matter how much I agonize over the answer column, it’s not like it’s supposed to be all correct anyway!

NO REGRETS! BRING ON DA FUTURE, BABEY!

ALL RIGHT!

 

*giggles* Now that’s settled, it’s time for food, food~

Ah! Hey, hey, Hina, Wakaba~ Let’s eat our meals together! The weather’s awesome today, so wouldn’t it be great to eat while watching the cherry blossoms in the backyard~?

 

[Chisa unfurls her lunch.]

 

Wow~! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom! They sure are beautiful...

Hah... Now that’s the specialty of the school for you. My usual lunchtime suddenly feels like a flower-viewing.

Phew~! It’s a shame I’m checking this out all on my own. Wakaba and Hina better come over soon. Maybe the school canteen’s crowded?

Well, I guess I should mind my own business and get preparing over here.

*giggles* Ta-dah~! Chisa-chan’s specially-made handmade lunch! Ufufu! *humming*

I could’ve gone with bread, like the other two, but~ I was just in the mood to make my own lunch~

It was tough waking up early for this, but mmhmm! I made the right choice in doing this! When you hear flower-viewing, obviously you have to go with lunch boxes!

*giggles excitedly* How’s this masterpiece? I can’t match up to Mom’s, but I get the feeling my cooking skills have gotten better, huh~?

My side dishes used to have only egg omelet and sausage, but I’ve got a pretty sizable repertoire now~

It’s one of the good things about coming to this school and starting my dorm life!

Our lunches are taken individually and however we want. So basically, if you wanna eat a lunch box, you gotta prep it yourself.

Guess you could say that I had no choice but to work hard for it. And I really did work hard for it!

Taste-testing one~

Mm! ...Ahh~ Tasty, tasty~!

It’s not like it’s a necessity to have good cooking skills to become a Goddess, but since Goddesses being what they are, I get the feeling it’d be better to be... feminine? Household-oriented?

Well, I’d be better off being able to do it and not unable to do it. Obviously!

One more! Homph! Mm, mm~!

A pretty good job, if I do say so myself!

...Haah... it was a tragedy at the beginning, to be honest...

 

[Chisa reminisces to Wakaba putting down a plate.]

 

...Whaddya think? How is it? What do you think about it, Wakaba?

I’m pretty confident in the one I made this time...!

 

P... “Plain bad.”

 

That reaction makes me feel plain depressed.

Urgh, then this one! How about this one!?

 

“Gradually worse.”

 

Gh...! Th-then try this one on for size!?

 

F—... “Fully bad.” ...!

S-so that means they’re all bad!

 

...I’m not gonna lose...! The ideal Goddess image I have in mind isn’t just someone who’s good at her work, being gifted in both intelligence and beauty...!

I’ll also perfectly excel at cooking! Being a splendid woman whom everyone admires is also important...!

Ngh... mmgh!

Wh...!? Wh-wh-waaaah!

F-fire extinguisher! FIRE EXTINGUISHERRRR!

 

[Chisa is brought back to the present.]

 

A-ahahaha... ‘Cuz I was real close to burning down the dorm...

The teachers got insanely pissed off at me... Clearly, that’d happen.

...Back then, I struggled even keeping up with studies. I was worrying my head over that, too, so, like...

Both of the things piled onto each other, so my failures kicked me down bad...

Ugh, yeah, yeah. I’m starting to remember again.

I was so depressed, I started thinking about uncharacteristic stuff. Like, “It’s unrealistic for a girl like me, who’s totally careless with all sorts of things, to even consider becoming a Goddess. It must be impossible.”

But still...

 

Wakaba, my roommate at the time, and Hina, who dormed in the next room over, really did their best to encourage me.

And that’s when I considered putting in a little more effort.

Since then, I’ve become closer with them. Ufufu...

*stretches* ...!

Hey, listen! I’m gonna make sure I become a second year student, got it~!?

Ahahaha! I’ll be barely scraping by, though. But I’ll be fine! Since I’ll do my best!

 

...Ah. Wakaba! Hina! Over here, over here~!

4. ED (Mini-Drama)

 

Chisa: ...*groan*...

...I knew it. I knew this would happen. Mmhmm.

 

[The teacher taps the board.]

 

Ah, yes! Yes, I heard you! Crystal-clear! I’m totally pumped and full of motivation!

Um... Um, um.

Starting from the textbook here, on page 24, I’m supposed to transcribe everything in this chapter, yes?

*wheeze* Supplementary lessons... Tohoho...

 

[She opens the door.]

 

Well, then, ma’am. Thank you very much for your help. I’ll be excusing myself now~

Hah... I’m exhausted.

No, I know it’s my fault for not getting enough points on the merit test. The teachers are trying to lend a helping hand to a problem child like me. I feel nothing but complete guilt for that, but...

Even if I get it in my head, there’s still no change to the fact that tiring things are tiring!

Uuh, I’m not meant for thinking into things so carefully~...

 

*sighs* And that’s what prompts the question, what am I meant for doing?

It’s not like I totally excel at athletics like Wakaba does. And it’s not like I’m dexterous with my fingers the way Hina is.

Ah! I eat my food, regardless of my likes or dislikes, without putting up a fuss! I’m also best at gaming.

...Wait, ugh. I said that myself, yet even I’m astounded at how little practicality that stuff has!

That basically means I’ve got horrible fuel consumption and that I’m playing all the time!

Ugh... I don’t have to be perfect like the school representative Yuki-senpai, but at the very least, I wish I could’ve been averagely smart enough to avoid supplementary classes...!

 

[The chatter from other students grows louder.]

 

Hm?

 

[Sparkling~]

 

Wow...! Speak of the devil, it’s Yuki-senpai! She’s beautiful as always...!

She’s so smart and athletic. Despite all that, she’s also kind to her juniors, including me... Nor does she act all weirdly self-important...

She’s completely and utterly amazing. I can’t believe she’s only a year older than me.

 

...And the one who looks like she’s in her own world, glaring straight at Yuki-senpai, is the first-year prodigy who skipped grades to attend the school.

That’s Kurisu-chan over there, eh?

*chuckles* She’s got the same look as always~

Well, she’s enough to confidently declare herself the rival of that perfect, flawless Yuki-senpai, so there’s no doubt she really is all that.

Mmhmm.

 

...*gasp!*

Hey, me, don’t do that! You’re saying that like they’re in a completely different world from you, but as long as they’re aiming to become Goddesses, you’re also a rival to Yuki-senpai and Kurisu-chan!

Rivals~...

*depressed* Ehehehe... Ehehehehe...

I’ve gotta get myself in line, and that includes having no other choice but to drag myself outta supplementary lessons.

Ungh...

What’s the good thing about me, that doesn’t lose out to even those two...?

Wait, do I even have one in the first place?

Unnngh~...

 

*gasp* Let’s stop thinking about this! I get the feeling that the more I think about it, the more I’m driving myself into thinking about sad results!

No more time for grumbling and griping!

The good thing about me is... yes! How quickly I can get back into a positive mindset! That’s right! Mom said the same thing!

 

[The bell rings.]

 

Hm? Oh, whoops! I promised to meet up with Wakaba, who’s finishing up her club, so we can head home together!

 

[She runs off.]

 

Mm, good! My final check. No problems here!

Ufufu~ Pretty good going, I think~?

Personally, I really wanted to incorporate a song with a cherry blossom motif for April, no matter what.

I know it was selfish of me to request this of my producer, but... Mm! I’m glad I pushed through with the request, even if it was impossible!

It’s my own song, but I just love it!

 

[She hums Sakusa-Sakura.]

 

Kyaha~! I have this mysterious sense of satisfaction that I haven’t had in a while! Like, “I really did it!”

Ah. I think I might’ve found something good about me.

I like singing! I love it to bits!

There’s something I love this much, so that’s why I work so hard at it. It’s a good thing, isn’t it?

 

[She hums Sakusa-Sakura.]

 

Ufufu~♪

I love cherry blossoms... Part of my first name has the letter for it, plus...

 

...Okay! Chisa knows! Chisa’s gonna be like that! Gonna be a Goddess!

I’ll become a Goddess and guide everyone!

 

It’s also the flower that helped me encounter my dream.

*inhales* Whoop, there we go! All right!

To make my dream come true, too! I’ll get doing my best at parts aside from singing, too!

Phew. I guess I should first start with math, which I’m worst at~?

Umm... Starting from page 24 in the textbook... right?

Let’s see, let’s see?

Use the following conditions to find the number that goes into the blank.

Urgh... Right off the bat, they’re hitting me with a hard question...

Hmph! No, no! Don’t run away, don’t run away!

Hngh~ Nngh~!
