Hajime: ....
Kaoru: Heeey, Hajime-kun! Merry Christmas! ♪
Hajime:... wah! Hello, Hakaze-senpai~!
We've been seeing each other a lot lately, haven't we? Merry Christmas. ♪
Kaoru: Ahahah. It feels I've heard a lifetime's worth of Merry Christmas's today. Like some Gestaltzerfall phenomenon where it's like, "what even ''is'' Christmas anymore?". ♪
Hajime: Gestal... ?
Eheheh. We're going through the same thing. Everyone's working hard to create a song that fits StarFes.
They're worried the lyrics are a little too Christmasy, but —
Fufu. Getting to say Merry Christmas over and over makes me happy.
Kaoru: And ours is so far from a parody that it's pretty much an actual arrangement now. Adonis-kun's pretty into it since he likes Christmas, but...
Adjusting's been a pain. At least it's a real hit with the guests.
If I'd known it'd be like this then maybe I should've forced myself to show up for lessons more often.
I can't take an easy way out either. It's just like Sakuma-san said; you reap what you sow.
Hajime: Fufu. UNDEAD's been staying up late everyday to attend their lessons...
We've been practicing deep into the night too; that's why we run into each other often on the way home.
Kaoru: What a bunch of workaholics... you won't be getting any presents that way? More like giving them.
But... lately I'm starting to think that's not such a bad thing. Ugh, seriously. This is what it means to be young, huh~.
.... achoo. ☆
Hajime:W-Wha? Are you okay? That was a loud sneeze! You'll catch cold if you walk around in such light clothing, Hakaze-senpai.
Kaoru: Ahh, yeah. Thanks for worrying about me.
Honestly... I just wanted to get some fresh air since things finally calmed down from the first half.
They said we couldn't go out in our costumes so I changed... the same goes for you, right? Everything's such a pain.
Hajime:Fufu. That's just how it is, though.
We'd be in trouble if they got dirty. The school uniform is actually thicker than our unit costume.
Kaoru: Oh, yeah. You guys have to wear those shorts, huh.
Hajime: That's right. Singing can raise your body temperature, but whenever there's time to kill and it's cold we cover ourselves with blankets.
I'm jealous of the fluffy, scarf-like thing you're all wearing, actually. It looks so warm~. ♪
....
Kaoru:... Hajime-kun? What's up? You look down.
It feels like something super complicated is happening between Ra*bits and Valkyrie this time... are you worried about them?
Hajime:Ahahah. There's no keeping secrets from you, Hakaze-senpai...
I'm just ashamed of myself, I guess. I knew this was going to happen but I still feel so sad.
Nii-chan and Valkyrie were up next to sing, so... I ran out here because I was too scared to watch.
We're doing our best, but we still don't have enough to win for sure...
This isn't the time for a stroll. I need to get ready to stand on stage as many times as it takes.
I'm so useless... I separated myself from everyone so they wouldn't see how miserable I am.
But I think too much when I'm alone...
Eheheh. So you really helped me out when you came overto talk to me, Hakaze-senpai.
Kaoru: Hajime-kun...
Hajime: Fufu. Anyhow, UNDEAD really is amazing, isn't it? You're soaring ahead to catch and overtake Trickstar while they're in the lead. That performance looked outstanding.
Even now I still have mixed feelings about wanting to beat Akehoshi-senpai.
Kaoru:Ahahah. If we win it'll totally go against the vibe here.
But Doggie and the rest are fired up. Even I'm feeling a little motivated.
Apparently my family's going to make a rare visit to our live performance today.
Everyone's usually pretty busy, but this time they did the impossible and opened their schedules a little.
I need to be persuasive enough so they understand how I feel.
I've got to show them my worth as an idol by making sure we stay in the top even if we don't win.
Hajime: Uhm. Your family... ?
Kaoru: Ah, nevermind. It's nothing. .... anyway, Hajime-kun. Here, here.
Hajime: Oh... uhm, what is it?
Kaoru: Sorry to ask for this out of nowhere, but do you think you can hold my hand like before?
Hajime: Uh, y-yes! If that's what you want... ?
Squeeze~. ♪ Eheheh. You liked it when I did this?
Kaoru: ... yeah. Thanks.
Ah... this is super effective. My hand stopped trembling.
Hajime:It did seem to be shaking a little... you really were freezing, weren't you Hakaze-senpai?
Should we return to the auditorium? Everyone seems to be catching a cold lately.
Kaoru: Sure. We've got a long way to go when it comes to solving our problems, so let's just focus on doing what we can.
Hajime: Right. I'll do my best, and not just because it's the only thing I can do. That's what matters most right now.
Kaoru: Yep. Well, it's better to take a break when you're tired. Then you can get someone to help you rest a little. Feeling better now, Hajime-kun?
I can take you out for tons of fun if you're not doing so hot~. ♪
Hajime: Oh, geez. That's a joke, right? We're in the middle of work right now, Hakaze-senpai.
Kaoru: I know ... and if I'm not gonna run then I've got be ready.
Whoa. Is that another sprinkling of snow?
Hajime: Fufu. It's going to be a white Christmas... like so many miracles are about to happen.
