Music Festa - Chapter 7

Writer: Yoshino Yuuki
Season: Autumn
Location: Dance Room

Tori: ......
(Hmph, look at him getting all fawned over.)
(What's so amazing about that stuff? If anyone's amazing, it's Eichi-sama. Long Hair doesn't even compare to the tips of Eichi-sama's toes!)
... Woah?! Hey, what do you think you're doing pinching my cheek!
Wataru: Fufufu, you were looking unusually subdued, so I simply helped you regain your smile~ ☆
Tori: Mmrgh?! I said, stop pinching my cheek!
Also, no one is subdued! I'm just annoyed seeing you look so pleased with yourself!
And you guys~ You seem really happy watching his imitations, but they are just imitations, y'know.
It's kinda weird to be praising a fake, don't you think?
Yuuta: But it really is so similar, it's hard not to find it amazing.
Even though I knew I was looking at Hibiki-senpai, my brain was telling me that was Sakuma-senpai.

Shinobu: I too felt as if I was looking at a real ninja... Although, it's not like I've ever actually seen one.
Wataru: Himegimi, are you perhaps sulking...? There's no need to worry, I promise I'll transform into Eichi for you shortly.
Fufufu, this is quite the novel experience, so I'm rather excited... ☆
Tori: Wait, you're gonna imitate Eichi-sama?
No way, you can't! I don't wanna see that, I'm just gonna be grossed out by it! I'll imitate him instead, so you just watch.
I'll prove to you I can act way more like Eichi-sama than you can!
(... I've been watching Eichi-sama since even before I came to Yumenosaki. And after joining fine, I've always been doing my best trying to catch up to him.)
(So I can do this. I know it!)

Wataru: Hm... It seems you've realised some things yourself, so I'll spare you from hearing it again from me.
Tori: No, I don't need you to coddle me. Besides, you're supposed to mentor us, aren't you? So just go on and say whatever it is.
Wataru: Oh, does this mean you're ready to take this special training seriously?
Tori: No it doesn't. But you were right — I'm still inexperienced... And I've realised that I'm not able to properly act like Eichi-sama.
If you're not going to say it, then I will. Eichi-sama and I are different in height and physical ability.
There's nothing I can do about the difference in height... And if I try to force myself to do the same things, I'll run out of stamina before reaching the end.
Plus, because I'm more skilled at cute performances, even if I try to do cool movements, I end up adding cute elements in, like doing puppy eyes.
Wataru: Amazing! Exactly right, Himegimi! Awareness of your mistakes is the first step to correcting them~
As a member of fine, you cannot be satisfied with merely displaying cuteness.
Tori: ......
(I know that already. That I have to aim higher...)
(Does that mean I should learn the art of coolness too, then...?)
