 Yume Idol Story 3

Season: Summer

Writer: Akira probably 

 

Year 2 of the establishment of ES. Yumenosaki Gakuen (ES Academy branch school) Classroom 2B

 

Yume: Esu~🎶

 

Esu: ...

 

Yume: Ehehe, Yume’s here 🎶

 

Esu: No no no, I don’t wanna hear “Yume’s here” out of you! What are you doing, you pervert?

 

Yume: What’s Yume doing...? Well, you weren’t at home, so Yume came looking for you.

 

What are you doing here? Are you playing school?

 

Esu: I’m not “playing” anything, I’m going to high school like a normal person! I quit shutting myself away at home and started actually attending school lately! That’s all! Get it?

 

Yume: Yume gets it, no need to yell... Don’t be so loud right next to Yume’s ear. Yume will get an headache.

 

Esu: I’m the one with a headache?!!! 

 

Just have a look at everyone around you! We’re in the middle of class right now! It’ll be a huge pain if my teachers and friends think I’m acquainted with someone suspicious!

 

Yume: You already made friends? Oh, you’re such a social butterfly, Esu 🎶

...Well, who are these friends of yours? Introduce them to Mommy? 

Hehe. Mommy needs to properly evaluate whether or not Esu’s friends are appropriate.

 

Esu: You’re NOT my Mom, so I have absolutely no obligation to introduce my friends to you!

 

I’m begging you, Yume - I know I can’t stop you from following me around, but for the love of god, please don’t cause trouble for everyone else around me!

 

Yume: Don’t worry about that. So long as they don’t do anything unpleasant to Esu or Yume, Yume has no interest in other humans, so Yume won’t do anything to them.

 

Esu: Well, according to you, when it comes to doing something “unpleasant” the bar is in hell, so that’s why I’m worried! If the slightest thing ticks you off, you’ll start lashing out at everyone around you, won’t you! I wouldn’t be surprised if you started stabbing people!

 

Yume: No, you’ve got it all wrong. As you know, Yume is Esu’s family—

 

Esu: Urgh, the more you talk, the more complicated this gets! Sorry, Sensei, I’ve got this headache and a stomachache and all my joints hurt, so I’m gonna go to the infirmary!

 

Yume: Huh? Are you okay? Does it hurt? Shall Mommy give you a cuddle?

 

Esu: Not another word out of your mouth, my god?!

 

Location: Yumenosaki Courtyard 

 

Esu: Man... Now what? How am I supposed to show my face in that class from tomorrow...?

 

And I was doing a pretty good job of not standing out too badly at school too~ If people find out I’m aquainted with such a weirdo, they’re gonna start thinking I’m a weirdo too.

 

It’s over~ Time to go back to shutting myself away in my room...

 

Yume: In that case, Yume will take care of you again~ 🎶

 

But wait. Esu, weren’t you going to the infirmary?

 

Esu: That was just an excuse to leave the classroom. Come on, Yume, this way.

 

Yume: ? Where to? The infirmary?

 

Esu: Look, just forget about the infirmary. You seriously don’t listen to a word other people say… We’re going to your middle school. If we head there now, you should be able to make your afternoon classes.

 

Yume: But why? Yume is right by Esu’s side 🎶 

 

Esu: Why, this guy asks. Because, middle school is part of your compulsory education! I’m trying to tell you to leave me alone and go to class like a normal person! 

 

Yume: But middle school is boring. It’s full of bratty little kids.

 

Esu: You ARE a bratty little kid, so what else do you expect? Are you stupid?

 

Yume: Don’t disagree with Yume. Yume won’t tolerate that, not even from you, Esu.

 

Esu: And can you pinpoint which part of what you said I’m supposed to agree with exactly? 

 

Yume: ...

 

Esu: Ugh, here we go. When you don’t get your way, I get the silent treatment. I take it the waterworks are coming next? I’m getting real sick of how you always do this.

 

And that’s exactly why I’m calling you a bratty little kid!

 

And bratty little kids need to finish their compulsory education at the very least! Didn’t you transfer to that middle school lately for the sake of following after me?

 

It was one of the branches of ES Academy, wasn’t it? No one there has heard any “weird rumors” about you yet, so you can at least pretend to play the part of a regular middle schooler.

 

Go ahead and try being a proper, regular middle schooler. You can even pretend it’s a game if that makes it easier.

 

No. This is the perfect chance for you to go back to having a normal life—

 

Yume: STU~PID! STU~PID! YOU’RE JUST STUUUUPIDDDDD, ESU!

 

Esu: Whoa, I thought he was gonna start crying, but he’s going the “Losing His Temper” route instead!

 

Hanamura Fuyume-san is having his 127th temper tantrum for the first time in three months!

What do you think about this, Reporter Sagiri Esu-san?

 

“Yes, this is Reporter Sagiri here. Compared to last year, this year’s storm is—“

 

Uooohh?! Can you not hug me like that, please and thank you? If someone sees us, they’re gonna get the wrong idea!

 

Yume: Esu~ Esu~ Why won’t you understand~?!

 

Esu: I’d appreciate it if you’d at least help me try to understand?! Cause right now you’re such a mysterious creature that you might as well be an alien from outer space! You can at least have that much self-awareness?!

 

Yume: Sniff sniff... Yume just wants to sniff what’s left of the scent of Yume’s beloved.

 

Esu: I’ve told you this a hundred times too - my father is long gone. 

 

Although, I can’t exactly  just tell you to get over him. It was such a shock for me too that I ended up shutting myself away from the world.

 

But... No matter how heartbreaking and painful this is, if we just keep on shutting ourselves away, we’ll only end up destroying our own lives - and that’s not right. 

 

Was the man you loved really so cynical that that’s what he would have wanted? Of course not. Much as I hate to admit it, you should know that even better than I do.

 

Yume: ...

 

Esu: My father is crying in his grave, Fuyume.

 

Yume: Yume doesn’t care if he’s crying or telling  Yume he hates him; Yume just wants to hear his voice.

 

Yume just wants to see him again.

 

Esu: I want to see him again too. But that’s not possible, and you know that.

 

My father - the man you loved - died in a plane crash. He’s a star in the sky now.

 

All we can do is accept that and move forward... I know for sure that that’s what my father would want.

 

Yume: Ah~ 🎶 The way you sounded so cool just now, the angle of your face and the tone of your voice was just like him 🎶

 

Esu: Do you seriously not listen to a word other people say?!

 

Yume: ...No, Yume understands. Things can’t go on like this.

 

But. When all that’s left in this world of the man Yume loved is a pile of wreckage, living a normal life - is difficult for Yume right now.

 

Esu: ...

 

Yume: An alien, huh? Trust you to come up with something so befitting of Yume, Esu.

 

This planet, this world, isn’t where Yume should be living.

 

Ahh. Yume wants to travel to the stars in the sky, where that man will rest for all of eternity.
