Kokoro:
|
Ahh what a good smell! No matter when I come, this place is paradise!
|
Momosuke:
|
This is the shop that Kokoro-chan wanted to visit?
|
Kokoro:
|
That’s right!
|
Runa:
|
Even at such a time, it’s melon bread. As expected of Kokoro’s dedication!
|
Kokoro:
|
I’m one to love what I love thoroughly! You two will like it too for sure, so eat lots!
|
Momosuke:
|
Is it that delicious?
|
|
Kokoro:
|
It is! It’s so good that I only come here on special occasions.
|
Kokoro:
|
If it gets too popular it’d be bad, so the two of you gotta keep it a secret too-
|
Ban:
|
Ahh! You were indeed here!
|
|
Kokoro:
|
Ban!? Why are you here!?
|
Ban:
|
Why? Isn’t this Kokoro’s favourite shop?
|
Kokoro:
|
Why, why do you know that…!
|
Mio:
|
Something like that is common knowledge to all second gen students.
|
Kokoro:
|
Wha!? Even Mio… but I have never told anyone about this place…!
|
Mio:
|
Even though you’ve never said it, every time something good happens at work you’ll definitely bring a takeaway bag from this shop to school.
|
Mio:
|
Isn’t that like telling us to please notice it?
|
Kokoro:
|
Wha-! I did not expect this to be known…
|
Mio:
|
Haha, an idiot like usual~
|
|
Kokoro:
|
Shut up! I don’t want to be called an idiot by an idiot!!
|
Mio:
|
What did you say! Even though you’re a crossdressing burikko all year round?[1]
|
Kokoro:
|
Aren’t you something like that as well?
|
Mio:
|
I’m not crossdressing!
|
|
Runa:
|
Uh, um…
|
Ban:
|
Did something happen?
|
Momosuke:
|
Is it ok to not stop them…?
|
Ban:
|
It’s fine! It happens all the time.
|
Runa:
|
Is Kokoro always like that?
|
Ban:
|
It’s because we’re from the same generation, and thus rivals. It’s something different from a friendship!
|
Kokoro:
|
You’re indeed an annoying person.
|
Mio:
|
Hmph! Thats my line!
|
Ban:
|
Hey hey, you’re causing trouble for the shop, so keep it at that!
|
|
Ban:
|
Ahh, right! We heard about it! Congrats on the five city tour!
|
Runa:
|
Thank you very much!
|
Momosuke:
|
You’ve heard!
|
Ban:
|
We heard from Producer just now, so I thought about congratulating you on it so we came rushing here.
|
Ban:
|
And also, I wanted to say my thanks other than the congratulating part to Momo and Runa.
|
Runa:
|
Thanks… To us?
|
Ban:
|
I was worried all along. See, we had Eva-sama with us since back then, but Kokoro was always alone.
|
Ban:
|
There was a time when he was even saying stuff like ‘No matter when, the only person to rely on is myself. Crowding is something only weaklings do!’
|
Ban:
|
Being alone is quite tough, isn’t it?
|
Ban:
|
That’s why, having you two be with him, and showing performances beyond what was originally possible made me really happy.
|
Ban:
|
Although it’s weird to hear this coming from me, but please take care of Kokoro.
|
Runa:
|
Ban-san… yes!
|
Momosuke:
|
Sure! Leave Kokoro to us!
|
Ban:
|
Hehe, thank you!
|
|
Kokoro:
|
How audacious, even though you’re Ban!
|
Ban:
|
Ehh!? Even though I only came to congratulate you~
|
Kokoro:
|
Hmpf!
|
Runa:
|
Fufu.
|
Momosuke:
|
Ahaha♪
|
Kokoro:
|
? What happened to both of you? Why are you laughing?
|
Momosuke:
|
That’s because… right, Runa-chan?
|
Runa:
|
That’s right.
|
Kokoro:
|
? I have no idea what you’re saying.
|
Momosuke:
|
It’s just that we were thinking that the second gen students are really close~
|
Kokoro:
|
Close? How?
|
|
Mio:
|
That’s right! How are you seeing it to think we’re close?
|
Ban:
|
That’s because both of you aren’t being honest.
|
Kokoro&Mio:
|
Shut up, Ban!
|
Ban:
|
Uuuu, that reaction is so strong that I might cry..
|
Momosuke:
|
Hey, Kokoro-chan. Momo and Runa will work harder and harder.
|
Kokoro:
|
On?
|
Momosuke:
|
Everything.
|
Runa:
|
Everything, enough to match what you’ve done so far.
|
Kokoro:
|
I don’t really get it, but it’s not a bad thing to work hard, so do your best.
|
Kokoro:
|
Of course, I’ll work even harder than that. After all, Kokoro is the cutest and hardest working idol!
|
Ban:
|
That is indeed Kokoro.
|
|
Runa:
|
Yes, a reliable senpai.
|
Momosuke:
|
Kokoro-chan, Momo will work very very hard!
|
Mio:
|
Well, if you don’t at least have that amount of feelings, this chance might be all for naught after all.
|
Kokoro:
|
What are you saying? Chances are there for us just to make full use of it. You’re having me with you. It’s impossible to fail!
|
Kokoro:
|
(That’s right, I have to make it a success. No, I have to show these two the scenery of success.)
|
Kokoro:
|
(In order for that to happen, I have to work harder than anyone else.)
