OVER★Hop Across HRCN! - Epilogue 2

[daze_0907]

Season: Spring

Location: ES Lounge


Nazuna: ...... ♪

"What are you looking at", you asked? I got a message from my friend......

Uwa, you spooked me!? Don't scare me like that, Anzu~.

Ahaha, I'm making a pleased face? Well, that's how I feel.

Here, it's the thing I mentioned before. About my friend in the choir.

Thanks to the recruitment event, looks like tons of new students joined this year.

The choir's safe for next year. I just got a message thanking us for helping them out.

Yeah, it looks like we were able to meet their expectations, so I'm glad ♪

Though because the problem's been solved, my friend's been full of energy recently, you know~? Well, it looks like they're happy anyway.

That being said, this wasn't just for the choir's sake. I also had my own selfish reasons.

But choir was able to survive, and we were able to try out a rock version of Ra*bits. It's a happy ending ♪

"The recruitment even was really amazing", you said? Ah~, if I remember correctly, the live show was streamed on a website somewhere, right?

So you were able to see it after all. I'm glad to hear you say that ♪

We used something other than "cuteness" as our weapon this time. At first, I didn't really know what to expect, but......

By trying something like this, I think Ra*bits was able to show everyone a new kind of charm.

You think so too, Anzu? I thought so during Parallel World too, but you really like this kind of concept, huh.

...... Eh? Aah, speaking of which, you also asked me about that kind of thing, you're right. If there was a kind of unit you could produce for us.

I wonder if that was what gave me the final push when I was thinking about a rock Ra*bits?

I thought it looked like I was the one leading Ra*bits for the first time in a while.

...... But really, after the live was finished...... I didn't feel like I was the one leading at all~.

They've grown much, much more than I thought. There's no need to hold back "for their sakes".

And so — I think I was able to go all out this time because of that.

No matter what happens it'll be fine, because they're by my side, you know? ♪

Mitsuru: Ah, I found Nii~chan~! And Nee~chan's with ya too?

Tomoya: Good work today, Anzu-san. It looked like you two were pretty happy just now, but what were you talking about?

Nazuna: Hm~? You guys have grown up so well, so I was bragging about how proud your Nii~chan is!

Hajime: Wawa, Nii~chan...... Please don't ruffle my hair all of a sudden......!

Mitsuru: Oh right, Nii~chan! We want ya to take a look at this!

Nazuna: Hm? A video of our performance at the event?

Tomoya: The number of views has skyrocketed. Since it's a different atmosphere than what we've done until now, it looks like it's become a hot topic with fans.

They're saying that "coolness" has been added on to Ra*bits' typical "cuteness".

Hajime: Having said that, though, the comment section is more "cute" than "cool", as per usual.

Nazuna: Ahaha, isn't that good? Ra*bits is "cute" too.

I hope that from now on, people will be able to get to know different sides of Ra*bits like this.

Tomoya: By the way, Nii~chan. We're all meeting up because you said you wanted to talk to us about something, right?

Nazuna: Yeah, you listened well, Tomo-chin! Actually...... I thought up our next proposal!

Mitsuru: Nii~chan did!? I wanna see~!

Nazuna: Wait, calm down, Mitsuru-chin. I'll explain it step by... Anzu's getting way too close too!? Her eyes flashed when she heard proposal!?

Tomoya: Even so, it's rare, huh~. For Nii~chan to think up a new proposal.

Hajime: It's tricky to balance university life and idol activities, so things like project arrangements and participating in events have all been done by you lately, Tomoya-kun.

Tomoya: Nii~chan... I wonder if he's gotten used to that lifestyle now that he's a second-year...... No, that's not quite it.

Hajime: Yes. It's because we asked him not to hold back ♪

Nazuna: You two, stop talking and help me stop Mitsuru-chin and Anzu!

...... Hey, Mitsuru-chin! And Anzu too! Please settle down!

Tomoya: ...... As the leader, I should be the first to review proposals brought up by members, you know!

Hajime: Ah, you're so sneaky, Tomoya-kun! Nii~chan, please show me too!

Nazuna: One second, you guys! I'm not gonna run away with the proposal, so just quit it for a second~!
