date plan - ( chapter 1 )
Location: ES Reception Room
Kaoru: ( This is the ES building's reception room... right? )
( Should I even bother asking someone why they picked this site for us to meet up, or? )
( Not that I can blame her or anything. She did ask me to "come up with a date plan"... that's kind of a private conversation. Oh well. ♪ )
( All riiight. Let's be generous here and help out Anzu-chan no matter the specifics, like an older onii-san would. No matter what happens, it won't faze me. )
Excuse meee.. ?
Chiaki: Good morning! We've been waiting for you, Hakaze!
Kaoru: ... huh?
We can't keep acting like students now that we're working members of society!
Here. Give it a try. Belt it out as cheerfully as you can. Good morning!
Kaoru: G-Good morning?
Chiaki: Too quiet! You've got to shout even louder next time! Otherwise you'll just be setting a bad example for everyone else, right?
Kaoru: Uh, it's just, this isn't what I expected at all, so I'm a little confused...
What're you doing in here, Moricchi? Do you have some business to take care of or something?
Chiaki: What, you didn't hear?
The Producer briefed us. We're going to design a date plan together. Isn't that right, Producer?
Kaoru: So... does that mean Moricchi and I are going to be giving you dating advice?
Chiaki: I'm not the only one here. It's us—that includes a bunch of other members she's assembled.
They might be hiding behind me. Take a gooood look around the room.
Kaoru: Huh. You're right. I didn't notice them at all, what with your presence—
Mitsuru: Heheh. Now we're all here!
Natsume: I believe this is our first time working togeTHER. It's nice that you showed UP, Hakaze-senpai.
Niki: Nice to meet ya! You're UNDEAD's Hakaze Kaoru, right?
I think this is our first get together off-stage, so lemme introduce myself again!
I'm Crazy B's Shiina Niki. Thanks for having me~. ♪
Kaoru: Whoa. This is a way bigger group than I expected... !
And is it okay for you to be this friendly? I don't know how much distance to keep between us.
Wasn't Crazy B creating a bunch of chaos in various live performances at the MDM? We were supposed to have
suffered from the damage of that too, so...
Niki: Uwah. Our reputation as a disturbance is totally getting around, huh?
I might've been a part of it, but the one who started shooting was Rinne-kun. I've got way more integrity!
Kaoru: Well, yeah. Maybe I'm just worrying too much. Let's disregard it for now, since we're going to be working together.
Besides, it made us think we had to step it up before you stole UNDEAD's thunder with that extreme attitude of yours...
♪
Niki: Is that a compliment? Or a criticism?
It's all good, though. Anyway, this is everyone, right?
It's about time you told us why you had everyone meet up here, Producer.
Kaoru: Right, right. I wanted to ask you the same thing. Why do you need five people in order to come up with a date
plan, Anzu-chan?
Chiaki: That was bothering me too. It doesn't look like we have much in common, either, so it'd be cool if you could explain it, now that we're all here.
Hmm? An ES Joint Project Plan under the Producer Association... ?
Sponsoring a regional event, huh? So that's what the upcoming fashion retail event "Shopping WEEK"'s all about.
You want us to promote it with a commercial featuring a special PV and a women's magazine article discussing what our ideal dates are?
I see. It's true that I've been gaining a lot of passionate female fans as a tokusatsu-type idol lately.
It might sound a little arrogant, but I'm starting to understand why you chose me for this project.
Natsume: Fufu. Kitten surely thought we were the right men for the JOB.
I'm thrilled to have been appointed to such an important job for the Producer Association, personaLLY.
I'll do my absolute best as a magician because I was choSEN.
Even if I'm mystefied as to why you were searching for that someone from Crazy B over THERE.
Niki: Ahahah... sorry for all the trouble Crazy B caused the other day.
Right now I want each of us to just stay cool and play nice. Especially while we're on the same job!
Natsume: Hmm... "stay cool", you SAY? If you had any common sense you would've tried to put a stop to the one
picking fights with all the other UNITS.
Don't you agree, Morisawa-senPAI?
Chiaki: Why me? Well, it's true that RYUSEITAI suffered at the hands of Crazy B.
But there's more to the wickedness dominating our society than just that.
I have to thank them personally for conveying the vulnerabilities of ES.
Well, I can only say this because we avoided anything fatal.
It wouldn't be very heroic of me to denounce a colleague working on the same job. I want to believe in my convictions.
Natsume: What a mature resPONSE. I won't pursue the issue any further this time, Morisawa-senPAI. For your SAKE.
Though I won't go easy on you if you plan on doing anything funny, naturaLLY.
Niki: I-I get it already! I don't want to do anything reckless or cause trouble, either!
Kaoru: Whoa there, you two. Relax a little. Let's all get along since we were summoned to be part of this project, okay?
♪
Mitsuru: Is this really gonna work out, though? I've never even gone on a date!
Niki: That's what I'm worried about too.
I can recommend all sorts of delicious restaurants, and thinking of date night meals to cook at home is fun, but...
I think you picked the wrong person for the job here!
Chiaki: Not to worry! I don't have any dating experience either!
But that's why we have Hakaze on the project! Am I right, Producer?
Kaoru: Uh, me? Anzu-chan's just nodding her head in agreement. Is that really how you guys think of me? As just some "playboy"?
Natsume: If anything, I'd say you're a womaniZER. There were gossip articles like that in the weekly publicaTIONS.
Fufu. They don't call you "monsters of the blackest night" just for SHOW. As one would expect of one of UNDEAD's two
main attracTIONS.
Niki: Wow... so that's what kinda idol you are, Hakaze-kun! We're in units that kinda have a similar atmosphere, huh~. ♪
Kaoru: Nonono! Since when did being a main attraction mean that? Don't get the wrong idea.
Niki: Nahahah, sorry. Guess all this hanging out with Crazy B's making me cheeky. In any case, we're counting on you.
♪
Kaoru: Sighhh. We just met and you're already harassing me. Well, it's not like I plan on losing to anyone when it
comes to making girls happy as an idol, so.
Chiaki: Right. Then we all pretty much agree. We can't get the ball rolling on this project without you, Hakaze.
The Producer seems all for it too, so let's appoint Hakaze as the Captain of our "Date Plan Idea Squad"! We're counting
on you, Captain!
Kaoru: What kind of group name is that? I don't mind you wanting my help and all, but can't you come up with a more
fashionable name?
Chiaki: Fuhahah. Our temporary unit name's currently under consideration. It'll most likely be something along those lines, so don't worry.
Besides, it seems like our Producer immediately went and made a group chat titled "Date Plan Idea Squad" for us in
the Whole Hands app.
Mitsuru: Thanks in advance, Captain Hakaze!
Natsume: Fufu. It'll be great if you can use your experience to help pull the team together, CapTAIN. ♪
I've got no experience despite being the same age as Morisawa-kun and Hakaze-kun, so I'll need all the help I can get
from a senior idol... ♪
Kaoru: Ehhh. All I'm stoked about right now is coming up with a better name.
Well, whatever. It's not like I can turn you guys down when you're relying on me this much. It's up to me or Moricchi as older idols to pull us all together, huh?
Chiaki: That's the spirit! Now we're officially the "Date Plan Idea Squad"!
Let's make an absolute blast out of this rare opportunity... ☆
Kaoru: Could you cut it out with the Captain stuff, though? It's super embarrassing. That's my condition for taking charge
of this project.
Chiaki: Mmh. Captain's no good, Captain Hakaze?
Kaoru: I said cut it out. Aren't you already the Captain of RYUSEITAI?
Having you call me that will get confusing in so many ways, Moricchi.
Especially when RYUSEITAI's split into RYUSEITAI-M and RYUSEITAI-N.
Chiaki: Now that you mention it, I've been so busy with solo work lately that I haven't had much time to drop by and be
with RYUSEITAI.
I might create some misunderstanding with my innocent use of Captain in moments like that.
But what sort of title should we give you, then... — Cap'n... Hakaze?
Kaoru: Cap'n? Uh, just call me what you usually do. My position's temporary, anyway, so I'm just assuming the role.
Well, whatever the rank, for now I'll do my best to lead you all by example, okay?
( Not that I can blame her or anything. She did ask me to "come up with a date plan"... that's kind of a private conversation. Oh well. ♪ )
( All riiight. Let's be generous here and help out Anzu-chan no matter the specifics, like an older onii-san would. No matter what happens, it won't faze me. )
Excuse meee.. ?
Chiaki: Good morning! We've been waiting for you, Hakaze!
Kaoru: ... huh?
Chiaki: What. You didn't know, Hakaze? The greeting for any time of the day in the entertainment industry is "good morning".
We can't keep acting like students now that we're working members of society!
Here. Give it a try. Belt it out as cheerfully as you can. Good morning!
Kaoru: G-Good morning?
Chiaki: Too quiet! You've got to shout even louder next time! Otherwise you'll just be setting a bad example for everyone else, right?
