Music Festa - Chapter 2

Writer: Yoshino Yuuki
Season: Autumn
Location: 3B classroom


Rei: Now then, let's have Hibiki-kun give us an explanation of the Music Festa that we will be participating in.

Wataru: Right! As its name suggests, Music Festa is a music event!
When I told Eichi that I would be competing with Rei, he found the idea quite amusing and thus prepared this event for us.
He was quite ready to participate in it personally, but I advised against it, reminding him how he exhausted himself in Judgement, and he agreed to sit out.
And do you know what he said? He said, "It might be because you trained with Keito, but you've come to resemble him"!
Fufufu, the left and right hands bearing a resemblance to each other is rather Amazing, isn't it!

Rei: And there he goes again, pulling flowers out one after another...
Just watching your constant tricks is exhausting, Hibiki-kun.
But back to the topic, little miss; as you have heard, the event is the one thing that has already been prepared.
So we would like your assistance henceforth, starting with assembling members for our teams.

Wataru: Oh, about that! I've already decided on one of the members.
Come, take a look out the window! Yes, the birds are merrily soaring through the sky~ And now that you've been soothed by that calming sight, please shift your gaze back here!

Rei: Oh...? An enormous box has appeared before Hibiki-kun. What kind of trick is this?

Wataru: I'm afraid that's a trade secret! But it's too early to be surprised — I shall grant you both an even greater surprise with a One, two, Amazing!
Here we go! One, two, Amazing... ☆


Tori: ... Bwah?!
Hey, Long Hair~! What're you trying to do, suddenly throwing me into a box like that?! Do you have any idea how scared I was?!
No, actually, don't go throwing me into a box in the first place! I'm one of Yumenosaki's top idols, Himemiya Tori-sama, you know!
If you hurt me, that's a loss to the entire idol industry!

Rei: Goodness, Hibiki-kun. I cannot approve of you picking on little ones.
Come here, grandpa shall give you some candy. ... Ah, how do you feel about sticky candy?

Tori: No, stop treating me like a kid first.
Mmngh... Oh, it's Anzu! Anzu~ ♪
Why're you here? Did Long Hair kidnap you too?
He didn't? That's good~ ♪ Then why are you here?

Wataru: Well, to put things simply, Anzu-san is going to help us gather members for Music Festa!

Tori: Huh? I don't know why, but I've suddenly got a reaaally bad feeling about this... I-I've got something on, so I'm leaving now!

Wataru: Oh, where are you running off to, Himegimi? You're one of the aforementioned members, so I can't have you just disappearing like that~

Tori: I knew it! No way, absolutely not~! Why do I have to be stuck receiving your guidance?!

Wataru: My, what a strange thing to say. Have you forgotten that you went through the same thing leading up to the Tanabata Festival?

Tori: Urk. I didn't forget — I don't think I could, even if I wanted to.
... Why do you want to mentor me again anyway?

Wataru: Because I haven't gotten to recently, since fine resumed unit activities. This is a great chance for me to train you further; I'm doing you a favour, you know?

Tori: You are not, you're being a bother...! I've had enough of your Spartan training, so you can definitely count me out!

Wataru: Fufufu, this is happening with or without your agreement, Himegimi. So let's do our best from tomorrow onwards, yes~? ♪


Tori: Wha— why are you trying to stuff me back in the box?! Stop it, if you twist my body in weird ways I'm seriously gonna get hurt!

Rei: Hm~mm, I don't have a specific junior that I'm looking to train, so anyone would do... Oho?
Is that... I believe your name was Takamine-kun? What perfect timing. Won't you join my team?


Midori: Ah... No, uh, I...
(W-what do I do? I came along because I was worried about Anzu-san, but I couldn't find the right timing to leave and ended up hanging around...)
(I was trying to hide my presence so they wouldn't notice me, but I didn't expect to be spoken to...)
T-thank you for the offer, but I'll sit this out...

Rei: Come now, there's no need to be shy. You're one of Shinkai-kun's children, aren't you? I'll take good care of you, so worry not.

Midori: Um, no that's not why...

Rei: So that settles it. Hibiki-kun, I've settled on one member too ♪

Wataru: That's great~! We'll be forming teams of four for Music Festa, so we each need two more members.
So, Anzu-san, can we have you pick out four suitable candidates by tomorrow?
If four seems like too much, Rei and I can pick a few more out on our own too.

Rei: ... Mm? It seems you have a visitor, Hibiki-kun.

Wataru: Oh? Who could it be?
