Act 1 - The Hungry Idol Part

7-1 Those who are worried

It's already been a week since my date with Rei.

The three members of the Millefeuille Stars have been even busier than usual lately, since their live concert is less than three weeks away.

I, on the other hand, had one small problem to deal with.

"...... What should I do?" (Rintaro)

I sat slack-jawed on the sofa, looking at the printout in front of me.

The printout from the school read, "Notice of the Tripartite meeting".

As the name implies, parents, teachers, and students will discuss grades, attitudes at school, and career paths.

――――Now, there was one problem.

I didn't have any parents who would come to the meeting.

I didn't know where my mother is, and my father is busy with work. In the first place, I had run away from my father halfway through the semester, so I didn't feel comfortable asking him to come to the meeting now.

"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, okay guys~"

To be honest, I didn't even want him to come.

I hated my father more than anything, and he would never forgive me for not taking over the family business.

"A~gain, I'm the only one in the class with a bipartite meeting. Oh well." (Rintaro)

I folded up the "Notice of Tripartite meeting" and threw it into the trash.

The students whose parents couldn't make it were supposed to have a one-on-one meeting with the teacher.

Our school holds a three-way conference every year around the time the first semester is about to end. Last year, of course, I had to go to the meeting by myself. And probably next year, as well.

Feeling depressed, I turned on the screen of my phone.

The time is 23:00. It's almost time to go to bed.

Rei seemed to have had dinner at the launch of the program or something, and I hadn't seen her outside of school today.

I guess that's the reason why I'm going crazy. I'd been spending a lot of time together with her, so when I'm alone, I suddenly felt drained.

(Get a grip, me.......Hmm?)

Just as I stood up from the sofa to go to sleep. The phone I was holding vibrated, telling me that a message had arrived on my Line.

The name on the screen was "Hidori Natsune".

I casually unlocked my phone and looked at the message.

[Hey, can you come out to the balcony now?]

[Okay.]

I wondered what she wanted at this late hour.

By the way, I forgot to tell you that the order of our rooms in this apartment is "Me", "Kanon", "Rei", and "Mia".

In other words, when I go out on the balcony――――

"Yo~, you come out!"

"Hello~ I am Bujangga from pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id, Yoroshiku!"

At a certain time, there are creatures that walk by two feet. These creatures can be divided into two by gender. These creatures are surprisingly able to pick something using things called hands.

And on a certain day, two of these creatures meet.

"Halloo~ I am Furujakka, ndesu! Nice to meet you!"

"Y, yes. Nice to meet you too, I am Fuurawan."

"Fuurawan-chan ka? Ii no namae."

"S, sangkyu."

The two greet each other due of their faces are facing each other.

They speak, breathe, blink, sweat, and so.

And after a long time passes,

"!?"

"Kyaa~ Furujakka-kyun."

"Daijoubu ka? Fuurawan-chan."

"D, daijoubu... desu."

"Mmm."

"Doushita no?"

"Fuurawan-chan no kaori, suuuuggoku WANGY, hmmmmmppppsshhh ahhhh wangyyyy."

"Mou~ Furujakka-kyun no eeccchi~."

On a certain day, these two meet and have lunch because they are hungry.

The boy orders fried rice while the girl orders a serve of seasoned rice being processed by frying.

For the drinks, the boy orders hot chocolate while the girl orders a cup of chocolate that has not been cold yet.

They eat their food.

They also feed some spoons with each other.

They then having a leisure exchange.

"Ikehh, yaru?"

"Damee~"

"IkehhHH!"

"..."

"Ikeh, tanoshii, kimochii, ore, ganbarimasu!!!"

"Mouu~"

"Dame ka?"

"..."

"Dame nanoka."

"Ee, haayaakuuu~"

The two of them are having exercise, training, and workout, then.

When they finished, then they restarted.

And when they finished, the boy pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the girl who asked the third.

And when they finished, the boy once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the girl also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

◆◆◆

On the other occasion,

On a day that is not a night.

That day the sun is shining brightly because it's a day and 12:00 o'clock.

The day is bright and the sun has not been set yet.

The breeze can be felt due to the air is flowing.

As he is breathing, a certain boy is approaching a girl.

"Yaa, kitten-chan, can I have your namae?"

"S, su, suteki~. Ah, hai. Fuurawan desu."

"Fuurawan-chan, huh. What a kirei no namae. By the way, watashi no namae is Badz Zheengan. Watashi wa Son of a Beach. Watashi came from The Pangea Selatan. Diligent in setsuyaku. Ketsueki type is I, I for Ikkehmen. Watashi no hobby wa breathing. Yoroshiku."

"Yoroshiku, Badz Zheengan-san."

"Fuurawan-chan, watashi no yubi to kimi no chawan, let's have made karera meet and greet."

"Hai."

"Watashi-tachi will have much tanoshi."

They have a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok.

When they have done of their a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok, then they re-doing again.

When they finished again, the girl pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the boy who asked the third.

And when they finished, the girl once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the boy also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

"Fuurawan-chaaannn!!! Ikanaide!!!!."

"Gomen ne, Furujakka-kun."

"Dameee, Fuurawan-chaannnn!!!"

"Sayonara, Furujakka-kun."

"Ima, ore wa, Furujakka wa, pemuda tuna asmara dearimasu."

Who can stand to endure this situation

Who doesn't feel the loss

You leave me when I'm so in love

When I'm crazily in love

you choose another guy

Who can stand being dumped

Whose heart not hurt

The memories that have been passed

I keep it deep inside my heart

We are not one anymore

It's alright, I'll get through the days strong-heartedly

My wish is only one, be safe and sound

I can only be able to harbor this, from day to night

Because I know I'm just nobody

It's alright, I'll harbor this feeling inside my heart

I'll keep wish you live well

All I can do is hope you won't regret

Goodbye and thank you

"AWOKWOKAOWKOKAOKWKAOWKOAKOK!!!"

How should I explain this to my parents

We had gone through this long

But ended up breaking up

You are tempted by another guy's love

You yourself had been declared it

Living our love until our old days

Won't two-timing, I'm the only one for you

But now there's another guy inside your heart

It's as if the morning is cloudy

Then the day is rainy

In the afternoon you hurt me

And in the night I cry for you

I can only imagine

All of those had been just memories now

I rode you back, went through the way

Hugging under the rain

But now you are choosing

To be hugged by another guy

Do you not sense

How heavy-heartedly I am

Have to lost my loved one

Don't wanna leave my house

I have no appetite

If I'm not fed

I can directly talk to her on the balcony of the next room.

"What's up, all of a sudden? I was just about to go to bed." (Rintaro)

"Isn't it fine. Besides, You can talk to such a pretty girl late at night." (Kanon)

"......I'm not interested." (Rintaro)

"You, are you really a man!?" (Kanon)

It's not that I don't adore adolescent situations like having a talk to girls alone at night, but I just don't feel comfortable having it with Kanon.

Mmm, that's a bit of a misnomer.

Kanon is a beautiful girl. She's a transcendental beauty who could stand beside Rei and Mia and yet not be inferior to them.

But if you ask me if a good look would make me nervous, it doesn't. I'd say no. It's just kind of――――hard to tell.

"Mm...... Ah, right. I don't get the boy-girl vibe with you, so I can be comfortable with you." (Rintaro)

"That's supposed to be fine, but somehow that's really pissing me off!?" (Kanon)

Sometimes Rei and Mia showed a level of "femininity" that was too much for high school boys to handle. But Kanon seemed to be deliberately keeping it in check, bringing the calmness of a long-time friend.

"Well, it's fine, isn't it. So, why did you call me?" (Rintaro)

"Well, it's not really fine, though......, Haa, nothing in particular. I just want to talk with someone." (Kanon)

"You're deliberately misleading men, aren't you?" (Rintaro)

"Isn't it you yourself who got it wrong? Unlike Rei, I don't tempt men." (Kanon)

I don't think Rei meant to do that, and I don't think she's trying to mislead――――

"You went on a date with Rei, didn't you?" (Kanon)

"Hmm? Yeah, I did. An acquaintance of mine gave me tickets to the aquarium and I felt it was a good idea...... to ask her out." (Rintaro)

"It's been a week since then, and she's still talking about it. It seems like she had a lot of fun." (Kanon)

"...... I see. I'm glad then." (Rintaro)

"Originally translated by pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id"

If she said she had a good time even when I wasn't around, it must be a genuine feeling. As the one who dedicated the first date to her, I was relieved.

"......So, how far have you guys gotten?"(Kanon)

"Huuh, what a joke. There's no such a thing." (Rintaro)

"Eeeh, Although I'm pretty sure Rei might have been willing....." (Kanon)

――――Certainly, I vaguely felt that kind of sign.

However, It's just that there is a different kind of feeling than romantic affection.

No doubt she's got a special feeling for me, but I couldn't think of a reason why she had it.

"......Well, if you're going to go out with her, make sure no one will ever find out, ka~y. I don't want to lose my job because of your involvement." (Kanon)

"It's not going to happen, so don't worry. I also want to protect you guys' dreams." (Rintaro)

I've said this to Rei many times before, but if I was to cause any damage to the Milfeuille Stars' career, it would be a regret that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

That's why, even if Rei likes me and I like her, we're not going to end up in a  man-woman relationship.

"But what if she's to approach you naked, of course you'll waver, won't you?" (Kanon)

"Of course I will. I don't know what you think I am, but I'm a normal high school boy." (Rintaro)

"No, don't waver there." (Kanon)

"I can't humiliate myself by letting a girl come at me naked go." (Rintaro)

"......Maybe Rintaro has a lot of experience?" (Kanon)

"No, I've never had a girlfriend before, I'm a complete virgin." (Rintaro)

"What!? Then you were just trying to be cool!?" (Kanon)

The two of us looked at each other and laughed at what we had just said.

After all, I've become friends with Kanon. Even though the atmosphere is completely different, it somehow reminds me of the time I spent with Yukio.

"――――I'll ask you again. Why did you send me a Line?" (Rintaro)

"I've told you, haven't I. It's just I felt like I want to talk." (Kanon)

"Then it didn't have to be me, right. As for Rei...... she might have been asleep, but Mia would still be awake." (Rintaro)

"...... You, a type of guy who would find out about an affair in a heartbeat, aren't you." (Kanon)

"originally translated by bujangga - pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id"

"Obviously. I haven't spent my entire life in school looking at others' faces for nothing." (Rintaro)

"That's uncool......." (Kanon)

Kanon looked at me with a wry smile on her face.

"Hey, mind if I go to your room?" (Kanon)

"...... Have no choice then. I'll at least serve you a coffee." (Rintaro)

I confirmed that Kanon had gone back inside the room, and I went inside once too.

As I recall, she prefers more milk and less sugar――――.
