Happy Spring - Chapter 1

 

Happy Spring - Chapter 1



Location: Class 3-B


Mitsuru:

Nii-chan, Nii-chan!


Nazuna:

Eek?! Mitsuru-chin, don’t jump me like that! You gave me a real fwight!


*takes a deep breath* Ugh, you freaked me out so much that I can’t even speak right... What’s up, Mitsuru-chin? These are the third year classrooms.


Mitsuru:

Yeah, I know! I’ve got music for your ears, Nii-chan, so I dashed over here to tell you all about it!


Nii-chan, we’re gonna perform!


Nazuna:

H-Hold on a sec. What do you mean we’re gonna perform? I’ve already checked the online bulletin board and I didn’t see anything that would suit us...


Did the transfer student come to us with a job offer?


Mitsuru:

...? Why'd you bring her up?


Nazuna:

You’re the one who said we’re gonna be performing, aren’t you? Looks like it’s not the transfer student who set it up, huh. Then it’s a mystery to me how we were offered a job.


Mitsuru:

Nope, no one offered us anything! We found this job all by ourselves, ehem!


Nazuna:

“We”... As in, with Hajime-chin and Tomo-chin too? Just what have you guys been up to...?


Tomoya:

Pant, wheeze... 


Hajime:

Mi-Mitsuru-kun... Pant... We finally caught... Up to you...


Tomoya:

Now, look here, Mitsuru! Why did you run ahead and leave the two of us behind?!


Mitsuru:

I never left ya behind! You guys just couldn’t keep up with me!


Tomoya:

Bold of you to assume we’d be able to keep up with a member of the track team...


Nii-chan, I’m really sorry about this.  Mitsuru wasn’t bothering you, was he?


Nazuna:

Ahaha.  Nah, he’s no trouble at all. More importantly, about what he was saying—you guys found a job for us?


Tomoya:

Mmm. Yeah, we did. I took a photo of the flier with my phone; do you want to take a look?


Nazuna:

Yeah, show me... Hm? Isn't this the one from the school notice board?


Tomoya:

Ah, I should've assumed you already knew about it.


I told Mitsuru that there's a good chance you've already seen it, since it was hanging up in public and all...


But he was determined that this is the job we should apply for, and just won't listen to that reason...


Mitsuru:

‘Cause it means we can finally perform! There’s no time to just stand around; we gotta run full speed ahead! The application deadline is real close, so we should apply by the end of today!


Tomoya:

Running full speed ahead is a bad habit of yours, Mitsuru. Sometimes it’s important to stay calm and look before you leap, y’know?


As for that job... It’s technically idol work, but the details are a little yikes.


Mitsuru:

Why'd you say that? As long as we get to perform on stage, nothing else matters, right?


Besides, you’re not the one who decides whether we do a job or not, Tomo-chanNii-chan is! What do you think, Nii-chan? Lemme know what’s on your mind!


Nazuna:

Yeah... If all that mattered was performing then Mitsuru-chin would have a point, but when you consider the whole picture, it's not exactly an attractive offer.


Mitsuru:

...? What do you mean? Can you explain it real easy so that I can understand it?


Nazuna:

Sure. This job is based up north, right? It’s pretty far from here. There is a note saying that compensation will be provided, but once you take our travel fees into account, there won’t be anything left over.


When you consider all the prep work we’d have to do, we’d probably end up making a loss. That’s why no other unit has applied yet, even though the deadline’s growing close.


Mitsuru:

Mmm... So the problem is transport fees? Then we should just dash to our destination! Problem solved!


Tomoya:

As if anyone could dash that far...


Well, I won't be shocked if you actually pulled it off, but the rest of us would collapse halfway for sure.


Mitsuru:

Aw, you’re right. But, butthis is our chance to perform, Tomo-chan! Don’t you want that for Ra*bits?


Tomoya:

Of course I do!


But if you think about it realistically, it’s just not feasible. Nii-chan probably thought about all this beforehand, which is why he never showed this job to us.


Hajime:

Still, traveling that far from home would feel kind of like going on tourI’d love to do that one day. Though I know the idea of Ra*bits going on tour is still just a dream...


Mitsuru:

Then let's make it come true! We might be a tiny unit, but if we keep performing we’ll surely make it big!


So now that the first step is finally in front of us, why are we hesitating? ‘Cause we won’t make any money out of it?


Even if we do end up making a loss, we still have all that money we saved from our campus jobs, right?


What are we idols for again? Isn’t it because of stuff like thisperforming on stage?


That’s why I think we should take this chance! Let’s make this performance a biiig success, and once Ra*bits is famous all over the country, we’ll get offered a million of these jobs!


Come on, what harm could it be? I really think we should go for it, guys!


Nazuna:

... Yeah, you have a point.


We may not be able to make any money out of it, but it’d be great to build some experience.


And even though it’s based somewhere far away, we'll be able to get our names out there if the concert is a success.


They may not have more work for us right away, but you never know; they just might call on us again sometime.


... Alright. Let’s go for it!


Mitsuru:

Yahoo! Nii-chan, you’re the best! I love you!


Nazuna:

Whoa there... Calm it, Mitsuru-chindon’t jump on me like that! Well, I guess you’re just that happy.


Mitsuru:

Yeah, I’m super happy! We’re finally gonna get to perform! Nii-chan, thank you so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!


Nazuna:

Nah, I should be the one thanking you. I was probably being a little too cautious. But you’ve convinced me that taking part in stuff like this is the right thing to do, Mitsuru-chin.


Alrighty then! Now that it’s decided, let’s go apply!


I’m sure we’ll be accepted without a hitch, but don’t get your hopes up just yet, in case someone else has applied... 


Once everything’s been officially decided, I’ll let you guys know.


For now, all of you head on home and Iook forward to tomorrow.
