A/N: Now lets go further deep on the stage, the boys of Sanada North High has two schools left to meet up with the girls while now they have finally met up with the girls of Seisho and Rinmeikan. They'll now meet up with Frontier School of Music and Arts, in which more hijinks to come.
I haven't updated lately is because of being busy IRL and such. And for that, I apologize. But yeah… I'm surprised.
High School Boy and Fun
Tadakuni didn't want to go more of the pace with his friends for now as he does feel that he did got his ass whooped by Yoshitake's sister yet again. He wanted to have some fresh air until he noticed a blonde haired girl with a ponytail style wears a jogging attire, working out and was obviously not aware that she's coming…
"Well… Time for me to have some peace and qui-"
He was bumped and was sitting his ass down, as the girl did the same and rubbing her head.
"Owwww…" Gasped, she stands up and apologized, "Sorry! I didn't mean to bump you intentionally!"
"No need to do that." He waved his hand in dimissal, noticing that her golden eyes locked into his blue ones and she tilted her head before she points at him with a huge smile on her face. He stands up as she gave the first impression of him.
"I heard about you! Are you the no fun, Tadakuni-kun? Your friends are fun and enjoyable to hang out with as what my friends from Seisho and Rinmeikan said~"
'What kind of impression does these girls have from me and why the positives about Hidenori and Yoshitake? Seriously, what's their positive traits other than me trying to knock some sense into them?' Annoyed by her response, he took a deep breath and smiled, "You don't have to say those comments about me… Uhhhh…"
"Ootsuki!" She beamed and was very energetic, "Ootsuki Aruru at your service! I'm from Frontier School of Music and Arts. Our Stage Play would blow their minds away! Nice to meet cha!"
"Yeah. Ootsuki-san." He decided to introduce himself and it was pretty normal that this blonde haired girl in a ponytail style, by the name of Ootsuki Aruru yawned that she found the guy very plain and boring, "My name is Ōsaki Tadakuni and I'm from Sanada North High. Nice to meet you too."
'Wait… Another Stage Girl? Just how many are they?'
"Yep. I've heard about you and they are right~!" She gave a response that she doesn't give a shit at all about his feelings, "You are so normal!"
"Oi oi. What do you mean by that?" Tadakuni got irritated by her statement, to which she didn't budge at all. She dragged his ass by grabbing his hand as they are running.
"You need some life in you~! You are filled with boredom and you need colors in life~!"
'So that's Ootsuki Aruru huh? She's too hyperactive and energized!' He screamed that Aruru got the strength and speed as she doesn't care what happens due to having so much fun from a very normal boy that is Tadakuni.
'Ōsaki Tadakuni… Yep, I can smell of normalcy in him. He should become extraordinary!' She didn't even know that she was in her jogging attire and would want to befriend a guy like him, just to lighten things up.
After sometime…
The black haired boy pants, gasping for air as Aruru was leaping like she's refreshed from the running that she gave to him. Her yellow eyes stares at his blue eyes, irking him some more in which she doesn't give a damn.
"That was the best!" She announced while Tadakuni feels the exact opposite, still remaining on his knees.
"Wh-Where did you… Get such energy… Ootsuki-san?"
"Hmmmm?" Looking down, she reached her hand because of her unpredictable personality that she even finds a bitter drink tasty. Feeling energetic, she replied, "Maybe because I found a new friend, despite boring like watching cows eating grass~"
'Why look at my character design? Blame my creator for making a gag out of plainess and neglectance…' He had a pale look because probably Aruru took Tadakuni a spin as she's running faster than normal to which Tadakuni couldn't outmatch her endurance.
"Enough of making a gag about you Tadakuni-kun~" She closed her eyes and gave him a smile that makes the moon shine than the sun, thanks to her outgoing personality, "Have you tried stage acting?"
"We-Well…" Avoiding her gaze, he chuckled and gave a sheepish smile, because when Sanada North High cast did their drama club scenario and it was a mix of Dragon Quest with characters from other anime (even someone with a bear suit, slugging the princess in the face) due to their boredom. He shakes his head, Aruru tilts her head and wanting to get his answer, "…N-No."
"Ehhhhh?! Really!?" Shocked in disbelief, she thought that he did because it was normal, even to those who have zero experience at all, "I mean, stage acting is a matter of experience." Even if she's in her jogging attire, she spins around like a professional ballerina before she stopped and facing him with a smile, "Like me, if you have the passion that burns within your soul, you can make it~! Any amature can make it because we all start there~"
Astonished, Tadakuni couldn't believe that of all people, Ootsuki Aruru have him some hints and pieces if they'll act again on stage. Just like the East High, who had a successful stage acting, unlike them that ended up in a disaster that even the Vice President wants them to end the act right away.
"Ootsuki-san…"
"Okay~ Its time to take a break from the fun!" She stretches herself up, looking at the scenary as they are actually in the alley, confusing Aruru why they are here as Tadakuni sweating and ranting the girl.
"Why are you confused and looked like you have forgotten to do something?!"
"Hmmm? What are you talking about Tadakuni-kun?" Tilting her head to the right, the girl puts her left point finger to her lip with question marks were showing on top of head, floating.
"People would file a case against me that I took you to a dubious place!"
"Don't worry about that Tadakuni-kun," Not caring the reactions of the normal boy, she waved her right hand in dismissal and giggling with a bright smile, "I'll just tell the people who have seen us that I did it voluntarily~!"
"People would interpret it differently! Please have some dignity, Ootsuki-san!"
"How rude of you!" She pouted and crossing her arms with a huff, "Don't treat me like some cheap girl who offers herself for money!"
"Stop assuming things!"
But she decided to drop it and laughing at this silly, seeing that Tadakuni feels embarrassed when he talks to her.
"Speaking of which Tadakuni-kun, will you ever reach the stars if you are gonna enjoy high school life?"
"What are you talking about?" He was composed as he gave Aruru a look that she's a ramshackled beign, "I'm just an ordinary high school boy with normal needs and even if I can act, I'm just contented with my friends."
"That's why you are boring as heck!" She snickered and couldn't care less about his rage… It was entertaining for her to see this normie getting fumed and getting her points across, "Tell you what Tadakuni-kun, how about we should draw something and tell what would be the interpretation~?"
"Are you…" He gave her an apatheic response, "… Really a high school student or an aspiring artist?"
"Rude!" She pouts, reminded on something when Frontier was not being serious on stage and decided to give him a sign to come with her and have a chat, "At least Misora-chan understands what I feel~!"
"Who now?", 'And besides, you're really are random at times, Ootsuki-san.'
"My childhood friend!"
"You aren't really making any sense at all!" He ranted as he doesn't know who that person is and seeing Aruru talking a lot of stuff about their revues and plays when saying that they aren't being taken so seriously to which they want to prove the audience wrong about Frontier's dedication to the stage.
She decided to look around before prancing around like she's playing on stage, while Tadakuni couldn't follow the pace of this lady. Yet he remembered that Hidenori and Yoshitake were unpredictable like Aruru when they are doing the DQ roleplay.
She decided to ask him something as once-in-a-while, "Hey Tadakuni-kun. Do you have fun when you are with your friends?" She giggled as she loves talking about her friends in her place and luckily for him, she's open minded, "I mean, I trained hard to become a stage girl to earn the respect of my friends despite I have no background about acting."
'Acting huh?' Tadakuni hummed as the couple were walking across the sideways, 'Hidenori and Yoshitake exaggerates about their roles as "heroes" from a video game. I wonder if they know about games.' He's immersed with the idea while wondering about himself… Being the "normal" guy.
"If you mean being the straight man of the group, then I find it exhausting." Tadakuni stopped Aruru from overplaying his "lines" to cause an another misunderstanding while looking at the bustling city, "Then again, I'll cherish them from the bottom of my heart~"
As he finished his thoughts, he noticed the girl whimpering and he knew that she's touched of his dedication while knowing he's the "normie" of the groups.
"I'm so touched Tadakuni-kun… To think that you are boring at first… But, you are similar to someone that I know. You have earned my respect…!" Vowing to become the best stage girl and making sure that its fun, she smiled as she faced him, "Don't worry, everything's gotta be alright!"
'Wh-Why are you crying? Is my short statement that good?... Also, similar to someone?... Obviously, its Hoshimi-san due to our similar personalities.'
Tadakuni chuckled and he knew… Ootsuki Aruru may have found him boring, but she's respecting his peers like a decent human being.
-The ending shows Aruru was screaming and smiling big to her childhood friend who was confused all this time because she sees "only" the blonde haired girl and Tadakuni was just "a stranger" since this was a first to befriend a guy.-
Stage Girl and Scrubs
'Hehehehe… Get rekt scrubs~' The girl had flowing bluish hair with the same eye color had stars in her as she was looking at the computer screen, smirking that she's owning everyone online while typing up words that she's trash talking to noobs when they are the ones that responded to her like that first. Dubbing the names like "Queen of the Cybernet", "Empress of the Digital World", Shizuha Kochou and the motherly figure of Frontier was looking at the names of the players that she wants to know…She noticed that the user name was Jack_Depp17 to which she snickered that she thinks that its just a kid who tries to look cool.
'What kind of name is that? Are you like those kids who makes usernames back in the day when internet had SpaceMe (1)?'
"Okay… Amuse me then~" Shizuha looked at the computer screen and was having fast hands as they are playing a one on one PvP, causing her to wonder that everytime she cast a spell, lowering or disabling the stats or even doing basic attacks, the guy was skilled or even can put up a fight against her.
'I see… I see~ Does he use cheat codes or possibly grinding up to become stronger? I would likely want to meet up with that person~'
Meanwhile… (At the other side of the area)
Hidenori was sweating and was playing extremely hard compared to Shizuha, who was might toyed him or wants someone to amuse her gameplay. He was with grinding his teeth, trying to dodge such calculating blows against her.
'This is the rumored, "Queen of the Cybernet", "Empress of the Digital World"? She's likely a pro, doing her streams. But, she's mostly doing it at night!'
He doesn't know about it. But this girl is also a stage girl, whom she's actually health cautious due to making her friends drinking some weird herbal products that it tastes bitter, with the exception of Aruru who had bizzare taste buds. He was grinding his character and assuming that his opponent was a guy, just using some girl names that it pretty common on the internet. Despite he knows that it's a she, his mind conditioned sometimes and forgets that it's a he.
'Speaking of which… Why did she invite me to party her and not our Student Council President, whom he's a DQ nut?'
He decided to PM that pro player that is Shizuha.
Jack_Depp17: Yo… Why did you invite me to your party for either sparing and quests?
Surprised, Shizuha was amused and introgued to this boy as she found his potential of gaming unlike that certain President while the gaming continues.
CyberQueen: No particular reason. (￣∀￣)
Jack_Depp17: That's weird. (_). Anyway, for some reason… You seem to have heard of me somewhere down the line.
CyberQueen: Am I~? (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Tell you what, keep this a secret because my fans would hunt you down.
Jack_Depp17: Don't mess with me! Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）I don't want to die young!
CyberQueen: Relax~ I turned off the camera and I'm still on my stream time~ Also, I apologized to my fans about it.
Jack_Depp17: Whatever you say.
CyberQueen: Alright then. Allow me introduce myself, Tabata Hidenori-kun~ ( ^ω^ )
Hidenori felt that his world was crumbling slowly because he knew that everytime he meets up with a stage girl, he can feel upon his bones that trouble is coming yet again.
CyberQueen: My name is Kochou Shizuha and I'm a stage girl from Frontier School of Music and Arts~ How did I know your name you may ask? I have connections. Please to meet you.
'Scary… Stage girls are scary…' Hidenori sweats, his hands shaking in anxiety as he couldn't fathom to meet up with her in person. He chortled in disbelief before typing the keyboard like he's interested.
Jack_Depp17: Speaking of connections Kochou-san, who told you about me!? ∑(ﾟДﾟ)
CyberQueen: Maybe your friends are fans of mine? ╰(*´)`*)╯Who knows?
"Don't mess with me!" He slammed his fists on an open table, avoiding the damage of said computer. Sighing, he knew that there are bizzare people than him and his buds.
Jack_Depp17: Many people wanted to be at your party or even wanted to have a PvP with you. Why me? Of all people?
CyberQueen: Unlike those thirsty fans, I wanted to have a party with people that I know or heard of by a common friend.
'Common friend? Wait… Tadakuni?' Hidenori shakes his head and pushing his glasses because even though his lack of screen time, he's popular amongst the main trio. He noticed an another username was emaling Hidenori.
DQmaster18: Ah… Hidenori. Motoharu and Karasawa were also playing the game and they haven't met up with a known streamer by the name of "CyberQueen".
'Wait… Why is President Yoshida playing this game? Is he trying to become a pro and beat Kochou at her own game?' Sighing, he decided to humor this guy and began typing.
DQmaster18
Jack_Depp17: What do you mean? She doesn't even party with people who aren't friends with her.
DQmaster18: Help a friend will ya~?
Jack_Depp17: I don't know if I can. But I'll try and make an effort.
CyberQueen
Jack_Depp17: Oi Kochou. I'm being asked by my Student Council President to play with you.
CyberQueen: Ahhh~ You mean that Dragon Quest fan? (￣▽￣) He should know that he'll grind for armor and weapons, ores for upgrade and not just the character that he's picking.
Jack_Depp17: You sure don't hold back your trashtalking when you are in the gaming world.
CyberQueen: I'm not that all nice after all, Tabata-kun~
Jack_Depp17: I can tell. (￣―￣) What are your hobbies besides gaming?
CyberQueen: Oh my~? Tabata-kun's interested in me~? 〜（ゝ。∂）
Jack_Depp17: No! (-_-;)
Hidenori was having a red face, looking at the screen of the game he's playing. Shizuha was teasing this poor boy as she wanted to endorse some herbal products to him, unlike what she did to her friends when they don't really like bitter drinks.
Shizuha on the other hand, she's smiling and giggling that she had chatted with Hidenori on a video game and while she wanted to tell him how much he's out of her league in games. But because he's interesting character to deal with, she wanted to offer him something.
CyberQueen: Tell you what Tabata-kun. I'll give a voice sample of myself if you are interested.
Jack_Depp17: Why are you doing that? (-_-). I already have pain in the asses to deal with, especially when I'm handling perculiar Stage Girls.
CyberQueen: Oh~? So Tabata-kun knows about the world of stage acting? ( ◠‿◠ ) I'm interested to know more.
Jack_Depp17: Please don't say that. (;_;)
Hidenori was looking at the screen was ashamed that the North High's stage play was so ridiculous that it reached to the stage girls and obviously, they are laughing or finding it ridiculous as they are mixing in franchises. But Shizuha on the other side, assuring him that they also tried to do the same thing as those boys, creating a play that's so bizzare it was created an original play for them or by them… Thus creating the play called "Captain Twins".
Meanwhile… (Yoshida Residence)
The blonde haired President was grinding for a quest as he noticed Motoharu and Karasawa were also playing the game, due to being dragged by Hidenori and Yoshitake's pace. He chuckled as he was waiting for Hidenori's response, whom the former was chatting to Shizuha on joining a party with him.
DQMaster18: Oi… Motoharu, Karasawa… Are you still online? I have news to tell you~
He was trying not to laugh at the username of Motoharu which he's the victim by his elder sister yet again. Before, it was "Bobbin". Now, he was given by that username thanks to his goatee and being an amazing cook despite trying her best to bamboozle the food he's preparing for his sister. By her failing humbug, she was the one who was being outsmarted by him and decided to throw a straight right punch to his face because no matter how much she tries to make his cooking horrendous, it doesn't work. She was hiding her embarrassment.
Goatee_Cook: Yeah… I have some online researching to do while killing the time to play the game… Please don't make fun of me and my username.
DQMaster18: Why would I laugh to your given username? Looks find for me~ （＾_＾）
Goatee_Cook: No it doesn't! ಠ_ಠ
As for Karasawa himself, he believes that he's lucky for thinking that his female friends aren't tinkering his gaming account and changing the username to who knows what. He looks at the PM's as it was Hidenori, Eiji and Motoharu
Hat-Trick: What now? (-_-) I played the game because Hidenori and Yoshitake are telling me that its amazing. Honestly speaking, its not that bad.
Goatee_Cook: Maybe we should play during our break for the student council. Anyway… About Yoshitake and Hidenori, are they online?
Jack_Depp17: I'm here… I'm dealing with Kochou here. （−＿−；）
Hat-Trick: Wait? That known streamer, "Empress of the Digital World"?
Jack_Depp17: Yeah. That one… She knows me and saying strange stuff like she knows me.
DQMaster18: Ah… Good timing~ We are complete and we would be on her quest party! o(^▽^)o
Hat-Trick: President. You're here to? (･･;)
DQMaster18: Why? There is nothing wrong with me being in here~
Goatee_Cook: I would expect you to play some Dragon Quest online… This is my first timing seeing you here.
While the boys are talking about being on a quest party with Shizuha, the woman herself however… She's gonna likely carry the guys over and would try to become that guiding matured sister for them. She wondered to herself… Especially the fate that they'll meet up the boys of Sanada North High.
'Tabata Hidenori-kun, huh? Hehehe~ What an interesting fellow… I'll try and invite him and his friends to a gaming session next time.' She promised to herself once she's getting the pace of the gags of said boys.
-Hidenori, Motoharu, Eiji and Karasawa were carried hard by Shizuha in every quest they are collabing.-
High School Boys and Lists
It was an acitivity of Sanada North High where the Student Council group were doing as Karasawa and Hiroki were arranging the files for the President, whom the latter is just playing his new Dragon Quest game on his newly acquired Switch. Motoharu on the other hand…
"Wait a minute… Why are we preparing like there is an occasion yet again?"
"I'm sure Hanayagi will come back to call me anytime." Karasawa replied, knowing that Kaoruko would need their help again when Futaba isn't around and worried if she's not back instantly.
'Why are you giving in to her pace, Karasawa? She's impish, but not a bully.' Motoharu sweat dropped when he's thinking about it. However, they can hear their president laughing and knowing they can do it.
'You don't know what she's capable of.' The hat wearing teen trembled at the thought of the girl from Kyoto.
"Karasawa is having contact with Hana-chan? I think Isurugi-chan can trust him in her accord~"
"I don't think that's the case at all."
Motoharu shakes his head as he couldn't believe their own president would even believe to that girl. All of the sudden, a door slammed wide open as she's had red hair with a short side ponytail and amber eyes. She was wearing a blue long sleeve and a cream knee length skirt waving her hand.
"Hey there! Is this Sanada North High?"
All three guys have gloomy aura surrounding them, lowering their heads in shame as this was the same as that girl telling them about her dog is lost. However, Motoharu and Hiroki stares at Karasawa for being "too helpful" for directions.
'Seriously? Whose the Stage Girl telling them that we are an odd jobs group after reminding everyone all over again that we aren't an odd jobs center?'
'Karasawa, by the next you'll meet up with her again… Please tell Hanayagi-san that we aren't an odd jobs group.'
The brown haired boy with a hat was obviously being watched due to his connections and such. Sighing, he decided to entertain the girl and nodded.
"Yes. We are."
"Really?! Thank God you guys are a lifesaver!" Sighing in relief, she went in and was looking for a seat. Obviously, Motoharu gave one to her and would treat her as a guest, "Never in a million years that I thought delinquents are in the student council committee~" Chuckling, the president shakes that comment off, while the trio feels comically crushed.
"Hahaha~! That's just a first impression. But they are gentlemen."
"Okay okay~"
The Vice President would be making tea for her while Motoharu on the other hand, putting snacks on the table with a small plate. The girl smiled and thanking them. The delinquent looking male gets a pen and paper to fill up the request. After filling it up, she handed it to Karasawa as she's finding him trustworthy.
'Wait… Kano… Misora-san? What odd request she's giving to us.' Blinked, he remembered when Tadakuni was talking to his buds about Aruru and her bizarre antics, 'This is what Tadakuni's saying to us, "She's Ootsuki Aruru-san's childhood friend." I see. This girl might have heard of us thanks to her friend and Tadakuni.'
'Wait… Tadakuni said she's a stage girl. Does that mean, this girl is the same as well?' Motoharu feels like he's dead on the inside yet again. He had to deal with Futaba, Kaoruko, Tamao and Rui for one as his experience wasn't pleasant at all.
"Ah! I have lists-to-do and I don't think I can finish them all!" Misora smiled as she showed it to Motoharu, before he gets the list and read it? "Can you guys help me?"
As he looked at the lists, it seems that there is more odd jobs than it was before. It pissed off Motoharu yet again. First that girl who wants to find her dog, then Kaoruko and finally, Misora. He gave her an apologetic smile as things would become ugly and ridiculous.
"Can you wait for a second… Kano-san?"
"Uhhhh… Sure?" She chuckled nervously, only to be heard of both hands slamming on the table, "Eh?!"
"Did one of you told Hanayagi-san about us!?"
"I don't know. I'm not close to Hanayagi-san." The Vice President shrugged.
"Same here." Karasawa second-in-motioned.
"Well well~ Whether Hana-chan or Isurugi-chan knows, eventually we'll become famous." Eiji mindlessly reminding them about being known around the place. Motoharu pretended he didn't hear the President as he gave a cutthroat stare to Karasawa.
'Wait… How come these boys even know those girls from Seisho? Did that woman told us about them?' Misora thought.
"Did you do it again?"
"What?" Karasawa looked up at the "delinquent", clasping his hands together like an owner of a company.
"Don't give me that look." Motoharu was annoyed at the thought before he explained what, "I know that you helped people too much and the fact that you are the close one to Hanayagi-san's shenanigans, its obvious she's pulling the strings and you fell for it."
"I don't think that was me." He glanced at the Vice President, which he sighs and sheepishly smiling at the duo. Misora chuckled as she decided to step in.
"Guys… You keep talking about Hanayagi and such. Did she really cause you some trouble?"
Karasawa, Motoharu and the Vice President paled while trying to remember about their bonds together. It wasn't pretty, nor ugly at the same time. However, it's still leading towards ugly.
"Ummmm… Kano-san."
"Call me Misora." She waved her hand and smiles sheepishly, "You have my permission."
"Misora-san," Motoharu renamed her, "You don't have to ask about that."
"Yeah…" Hiroki was sweating, trying to divert her attention elsewhere because she even have her lists to do to what she's seeing, "We should continue on going to plan on helping you."
"Eheheh… If you say so." Misora decided to put that thoughts on hold, "Anyway… Its about baking cookies for Aruru and not letting everyone's lives in trouble."
'What kind of a best friend is that?!' The Vice President face went in astonishment as he kinda wondered, how bad would it be.
'Is her baking similar to that of a lethal weapon?' Karasawa felt uneasy when she said that, imagining his expired chocolates up to eleven.
'You should believe in her!' Motoharu whined at that thought due to the fact, Misora was close to Aruru.
"Is her cooking/baking that bad? Why do you feel so uneasy, especially my buddies here~?" The President heard the commission and he seems to not believing in Misora's words while the redhead lady tsked and shaking her head.
'Don't you have any regrets left in you?!' Motoharu couldn't even believe that their own Studeny Council President couldn't read the room and he can tell Misora's facial expression that Aruru's baking is terrible. He's an excellent cook and baker after all.
'I understand your optimism and assuring that everything's okay, but even there a limit for that! Learn how to be cautious!' The Vice President wanted to yell at the top of his lungs, but he was frozen and couldn't move a single muscle.
"I'm telling you, its for your own good."
"Oh well~" Eiji waved his hand in dismissal and looking at the "delinquent trio" before facing the girl as he's flashing a smile to her, "They'll be helping you out, Misora-chan."
'Not again!' Motoharu knew he'll be in trouble as he doesn't want to deal with this again. Karasawa and the Vice-President also feels mutual to him.
Frontier School of Music and Arts (Cooking Room)
Thanks to Misora's explaination of why the guys are here, the Student Council boys are awed at the sight of that said school as it was like an elite institution despite it was an infantile school of stage girls compared to their peers. Motoharu, Karasawa, Hiroki and Eiji were impressed. The President asked, looking at the equipment.
"I always wonder… This is an elite school, right? I mean, the things here are world class."
"Yeah." Misora smiled and shaking her head when thinking about their status as stage girls, "However, our club wasn't taken seriously before because it was so carefree that nobody is joining in it before Aruru's determinant demeanor had driven us together here."
"That's inspirational…" Motoharu smiled a bit as his features were that in the opposite of a typical delinquent, "How I wished that we wanted to see what plays you've brought up to the table."
"Thanks. You'll see them soon… Uhhh.. Who are you guys?" She scratches her hair and chuckling nervously for not knowing them.
"Kuroshima Motoharu. Nice to meet you, Misora-san." He bowed after he introduced himself.
"Karasawa Toshiyuki… Please to meet you." He tipped his hat and nods as an acknowledgement.
"Eisaku Hiroki… Vice President of the Student Council of Sanada North High."
"Yoshida Eiji… President of that said school at your service Misora-chan~"
'President… Do you have to call every single girl as a "-chan" honorific?! Ringo-chan's an exemption, but the fact that Isurugi-san finds it unusual and annoying, there are other exemptions!' The Vice President gasped in astonishment, shaking his head.
'Read the atmosphere!'
"Interesting… I can see all kinds of food here that I can cook…" Motoharu, entheusiastic as he wanted to help Misora with the request.
"Hahahaha~!" Eiji chuckled and he laughed after that, " So, what type of food are we cooking or what?"
'He's too excited.' Karasawa sweat dropped.
"Hmmmmm…" Misora hummed and closing her eyes before getting the idea about why some of her friends are having a bad stomach ache, "I already said it did I? It was cookies."
"Huh? Cookies? Why?" Hiroki asked with curiosity.
"Aruru sucks at baking as much as that I hate to admit it," The girl have seen danger when someone wants snacks and when it was her cookies, Misora can sense danger is rising yet again, "That's why… You guys are gonna help me with this task and also, write the ingredients and time as well."
Confused by the outcome, Motoharu and the boys huddled up while trying to see what kind of flavor does Aruru's baked cookies for. He was the expert of the group. He was asking the group.
"They have flour, eggs, sugar and such… It would likely be the time and how much you put it. What do you think?"
"Hmmmmm?" The Vice President was thinking about it while they didn't noticed Misora was listening to whatever strategy they are pulling off, "What kind of cookies that we are making for these girls?"
"Wait? Is this an early Valentines Day or even an eventual White Day?"The President mused by that idea, but was shutted down.
"No. I doubt that we would have chocolates on a White Day." Motoharu sighed, "How much more if it's Valentines Day when we don't have a special someone or even a friendship choco as well?"
'Th-That's not even my idea right here! Wh-Why Valentines, especially White Day!? They are getting themselves ahead!' Even Misora mistook the idea when the boys are just trying to tell what would be the idea will be if they are making cookies and adding the tidbits of chocolate. She cupped her face, tinting in red while she keeps on listening to them.
"I see~ But Ringo-chan would want to give it to us if we would give her something in return."
"That's because she's gullible and stupid." Motoharu gave an expressionless look towards the President and crossing his arms which was true. The Vice President wven agreed to that part due to her stupidity and easily gets deceived.
"Wa-Wait a minute guys…" Misora stopped them from swaying out of their task as she's shaking her head and telling, "Who is this "Ringo-chan" you are talking about?"
"Ahhhh…" The Vice President was flushed and obviously ashamed if they are telling her she's a friend yet an airheaded idiot who doesn't know how to read the room, "Just a friend with a special case."
"Yeah. Special case." Karasawa chimed and parrots his bud's words.
"I see…" Misora looked at them in disbelief that there is someone who has similar acts as Aruru but is much more of a short tempered airhead, "A-Anyway… We should get started."
"Right!"
After a few minutes… Misora was shocked that Motoharu's baking was like a perfect piece as she's crying comically.
"Teach me!" She went into the guy, grabbing his shoulder and shaking him to conviction.
"Huh?!" Motoharu was startled.
"Teach me the techniques of baking the amazing cookies!"
The President, Karasawa and the Vice President was surprised in which, Kano Misora smiles as their lists is far from over. She announced.
"But… Don't give up! We have a lot of work to do!"
'Most of them are useless than this!' The boys were by the ridiculous requests coming from the girl who does an unwanted investment.
Stage Girls and Hobbies
A short pink haired girl with rabbit ribbons in a twintail style was doing some Sentai poses while bringing masks in which she's having fun. Nonomiya Lalafin, an energetic stage girl from Frontier which she's huge fan of anime and manga while she heard about Yoshitake, whom he's rumored to be wearing a Kamen Rider Mask also known as the "Rubber Shooter". She smirked.
"Sanada North High, huh? Wow~! Talk about a real turn of events~! Shizuha and Aruru have met some weirdoes, even though they are anime fans!"
"Who are you calling a weirdo, pipsqueak?" Yoshitake was called out of nowhere by Mitsuo due to the belief that there are ladies who are fans of anime and Lalafin was one of them, "Besides, why am I here, Mitsuo-kun?"
The orange haired teen have heard of Lalafin on an anime forum that she's like a VIP there and people grabbed the chance to try and talk to her.
"I heard that Nonomiya-san knows us due to connections to say the least."
"That's dubious."
"How rude of you!" She whined as she even brought a friend in need, "I have a friend of mine who'll join with me and my adventures!"
"Why me?" The orange haired gyaru looking girl sighed and looking at the sight of the two, "You should have brought Aruru with you on the scene to cope up with these guys."
"Aruru's busy on a play."
"Then, who are you two?" The blonde haired male crossed his arms and groaned, 'Why am I with Mitsuo-kun? Of all people?'
"Glad that you have to ask, my new friend!" The pink haired girl jumped in while spinning before finishing up with a Pink Sentai (Her color motif) pose (2), "My name is Nonomiya Lalafin and I'm the Pink Usafin, ready to defeat the forces of evil!"
"Act normally!" The other girl rants with a red face, showing the signs of shame before chuckling nervously as she bows, "Sorry about that… She's just into anime and Sentai shows so much that-" She gasped that Yoshitake didn't found her boring, going to so the pose in Kamen Rider fashion as she's gonna be a tsukkomi.
"Don't fall into her pace you idiot!"
"I apologize for the embarassing scene Yoshitake made."
"Same here for Lalafin… Uhhhh… Who is that guy?"
"Oh," He smiles and decided to tell her his name and added that he'll introduce himself to her, "His name is Tanaka Yoshitake. By the way, I'm Mitsuo. Takahashi Mitsuo."
'Eh? Tanaka? That's strange… He has the same surname as that girl from Rinmeikan.' Shaking that thought off, she'll ask later on once the boys have introduced to everyone. She decided to do the same thing as Mitsuo did.
"Tsukasa. Ebisu Tsukasa. Nice to meet cha, Takahashi."
"The pleasure is mine as well, Ebisu-san. Also," He added, "Call me Mitsuo-kun… Everyone calls me that."
"Noted… Mitsuo-kun. Just call me Tsukasa." She wasn't being used on calling her surname, "Calling me by my surname is kinda foreign to me."
"O-Okay…" He noticed that she's also carefree and relaxed before wondering.
"Wait… You said, "Aruru", right? That's the girl Tadakuni's talking about." Mitsuo remembered.
"Ahhh… She said about that guy and her comment was about him being plain." Tsukasa sweat dropped and the innocent teen waved his hand in assurance.
Yoshitake heard of Tsukasa's remark as he's trying not to laugh at all. He couldn't deny the fact she's not wrong about Tadakuni. Mitsuo on the other hand, he wanted to repremand the blonde dude for laughing at jokes to someone who isn't there in which Lalafin had in turn of her curiosity.
"Wow! Is Tadakuni-kun really that famous?"
"Yeah." Yoshitake grinned, milking up the joke thanks to Tsukasa's remarks, "In fact, he's known of barely having screentime!"
"Is that even a compliment?!" Mitsuo rants.
"Stop milking up my comments about him!" Tsukasa follows up.
"Hahahaha… My bad, my bad~" Yoshitake waved his hand as he shot a look at Lalafin, "You're Nonomiya, right?"
"Yep~! The one and only!" She gave him a thumbs up as she's unaware of what plans comes right ahead, especially making Mitsuo a victim in any situation.
'I don't know why Yoshitake is whispering Lalafin into something, but something's not right.' Gasped, Tsukasa realized that its gotta be a prank and that'a not a good hobby when dealing with sensitive people like Mitsuso, 'Ugh… This guy will eventually become a bad influence to Lalafin.'
"Eh?!" Stepping back, the pink haired girl baffled at the idea which she doesn't agree with the blonde boy at first, "Is-Isn't that too mean to prank someone like that?" Then again, that certain girl from Rinmeikan has the same antics as these guys
"Don't worry about that…" Yoshitake acted like a creepy old man, but obviously not towards Lalafin as he wants to collab with a prank with her, "Imagine him as that villain whom he's using a machine to control mankind and spreading terror across the globe… Eventually, the universe!"
'No! Don't believe in him Lalafin! He's just messing around and loves to do pranks to someone like Takahashi!' Tsukasa was trying to signal the little girl, whom the latter was tilting her head and was interested due to hearing such story when she's watching or reading anime/manga. Mitsuo sighs and knowing Yoshitake, his lies can be convincing even when its in front of you.
"Really?! Then… He's indeed a threat to our universe if we let him roam freely as he chooses!"
"What would be your next plan, Pink Usafin?"
"Isn't that obvious, Rider Kiba? Its stopping the enemy!" She replied with such entheusiasm.
'He doesn't even look like a threat and why are you asking her as if she's planning the whole thing!' The gyaru-like individual gasped in disbelief as Lalafin believes in Yoshitake's words and was posing as if she's gonna call out the Megazord if the enemy turns into a giant.
"I should use my hammer of justice to destroy this fould being that's trying to invade our planet!" She pulled out something that was indeed a hammer, causing Tsukasa to scream at the top of her lungs to stop her crazy act as she's shielding Mitsuo.
"What are you doing, Lalafin!? He's not some weird alien creature disguising human being!"
"Why am I being treated like I'm a target to pranks?!" Mitsuo whined and was obviously annoyed but this running gag.
"You shall not pass!" Yoshitake poses as well and he was beside Lalafin, causing the gyaru to clench her fists as a cross shape mark was formed at the right side of her forehead, indicating that she's furious, exploding into her own tsukkomi.
"What the FUCK is wrong with you?! Are you BRAIN DEAD or something!?" Had enough by that said gag, she points at the poor boy, cursing Yoshitake the most, "He's not FUCKING deformed like some creatures on TV!"
"But Tsukasa, if we let him be… All of mankind will be in danger." Lalafin explained, still keeping her guard up.
'The only danger of mankind that will ever happen is you two getting delusional at best.'
"That's right…" Yoshitake changed his look and poses, ready to strike in any form. His voice deepened as a change of character, "You are letting a threat getting away with it."
"Seriously? Is that your hobby?" Tsukasa deadpanned and was obviously unimpressed by his antics. Mitsuo even couldn't believe that Lalafin fell into his pace. The blonde male huffed and decided to ask Lalafin about the hobbies of Tsukasa.
"Oi Nonomiya, what's her hobbies for one?"
"Oh~ I got it~" With a bulblight shines at the top of her forehead, the pink haired girl whispers back while Mitsuo was chuckling nervously, knowing they are indeed trolling.
"She's actually kind, generous and she loves to read tear jerking stories~!" She remembered one time when she took a peek that Tsukasa was weeping at that heart breaking part before she got embarassed. Yoshitake smugs.
"Eh~? Talk about interesting and such~"
"Wait?" Mitsuo didn't catch that on as he's stunned by the revelation given by Lalafin, "Is that true, Tsukasa-san?"
Tsukasa takes a step back from the duo, causing her to feel abashed from the two indivuals. She looks at the direction of Yoshitake face-to-face as she's felt the hysteria in her.
"Wh-What?! T-That was just one time…! Lalafin didn't know the content of what I'm reading at that time hence why she's peeking with curiosity!"
"Still~ That's true for her part." The blonde haired male poses once again, which he can feel the reminiscence of his past, "Anyway… What shall we do to this creature?"
"We should give him a Divine Punishment!" Lalafin demanded justice like someone is a victim of the enemy. Mitsuo ranted yet again because he had enough of being a joke and hoping that he'll prove them wrong especially Yoshitake.
"Wa-Wait a second! Wh-Why are you two are so indulged of your roleplaying as superheroes while I'm the villain!?"
'More like you're the victim here, Mitsuo.' Tsukasa replied in her own thoughts and she was right, Mitsuo was like a joke for the guys for a long time since elementary days with Yoshitake and Motoharu.
"That's right!" The blonde haired Tanaka was spinning and pointing at the guy, whom the latter was annoyed yet frightened at the same time due to how much unpredictability is happening right now, "You deserve to be eradicated!"
"Ummmm… Where did this all jokes began? Did you even know his hobbies?" Tsukasa was actually seeing the ridiculousness that is in form of Tanaka Yoshitake and even Takahashi Mitsuo.
This is it. This question would give more opportunities for Mitsuo to set up for his payback against the blonde haired boy and get embarrassed again. He smirked abit, causing the orange haired girl to raise an eyebrow because of his reaction.
"What's up with that facial reaction of yours? Do you have something in mind?"
"Oh… I heard of Yoshitake's hobbies are~" Lalafin was also curious about this "hobbies" of her fellow friend as she stopped what she's doing, "He loves to made up stories to one up his buddies and even lying straight to your faces."
'That's an evil hobby! What kind of a hobby is that?!' With a baffled look on her face, Tsukasa frozed at the revealing moment that Yoshitake does that when he wants to save his own skin.
'Horrible… Usafin's ally is a slimy, slick liar? She shouldn't get influenced by the bad guy disguising as a good guy.' Shaking like a leaf, Lalafin stepped back from Yoshitake whom the guy couldn't believe it. His "ally" was walking away from him and went to Tsukasa instead. Gasped, he ranted.
"What the hell?! Why Nonomiya walked away from me!? Why ya girls supporting Mitsuo and such?! He's a fool who even mocked a classmate of mine in the past and apologized for a while!"
Mitsuo gave a small smug, because he knew that it wasn't him and crossing his arms, "That wasn't me." Surprised, he knew he said thise stuff when they are in school and they all targeted the poor kind boy as a mark of their bullying.
"Hah?! What's with that smug attitude and don't forget you are also gullible!" He points at the boy, Tsukasa and Lalafin were trying to catch the pace. Mitsuo blushes and remembered he always mistook him as Karasawa when he's wearing the only gets punched in the solar plexus.
They can only them arguing, before Mitsuo again… Catching the bait yet again before Tsukasa tries to calm him down.
"H-He's joking! I'm sure he's messing with you because you easily react to his trolling."
"Alright… Usafin is ready once again!" Lalafin didn't pay attention as she's facing Yoshitake, doing the same pose as well like he's the semi-boss of the series he's playing.
"Will you both stop this running gag?! I can't deal much with this crybaby!" Shocking her, Mitsuo does cry easily and when his expectations are wrong, he'll go into a tantrum.
'This is gonna take a long day…' Tsukasa doesn't expect much to these two roleplaying idiots who are having fun into their own world.
High School Girls are Funky: Investigation
As usual of their introduction, the trio of Yanagin, Ikushima and Habara were playing as if they are in a girls band and they are rocking. Without them knowing, Futaba and Kaoruko were joining without their knowledge as the "new" lead guitarist and keyboardist (3). This causes the short violet haired girl shakes her head in doubt before she realized that the two girls from Seisho weren't originally there.
"Wrong… There is something wrong."
"What is it?" Habara asked, tilting her head. Yanagin pointing at the duo.
"What the hell are you two doing here?! This isn't what we are originally having our rehersal!"
"What's wrong with that Kiri-han~?" Kaoruko smugged and waving her hand in dismissal, "It fits the girls band, right Futaba-han?"
"You just said that I should come and here I am." Futaba shrugged and just holding her "guitar" like it was a poleaxe.
"It would ruin our chances of going to London and becoming an icon of music!" Yanagin continued whining about why these two shouldn't be here.
"Yeah! You should be ashamed of yourselves that you come here without permission!" Ikushima added, causing Futaba to grind her teeth with such aggravation.
"Sure.. You lack viewership and begging for fans to come here." She snarked and Yanagin was attempting to pounce this short girl, Habara would stop her.
"Stop! Don't ruin the mood please!"
"Don't tell me what to do, Monster!"
"Monster?!" She uses her weapon and would give them a "Bring it on!"
"Okay… Take two, shall we~?" Kaoruko looked at the camera with a smile on her face with her eyes closed, with Habara and Futaba retorted of her actions.
"What's with the carefree attitude?!"
"Are you serious, Kaoruko!?"
"Be aware of your surroundings!" The both them frowned and shouts.
Habara Residence
They are now wondering of what was the relationship between Kaoruko and Karasawa, to which both Yanagin and Ikushima thought that they are going to die by her (Habara) hand. They saw her eyes, cold and calculating while waiting for her prey to come. Ikushima decided to open up and asking Yanagin.
"Hey… Do you have something in mind for Habara to calm down?"
"Idiot!" She screamed, punched the gut out of the girl which causes girl gasp for air, holding it and pants in pain, "Habara in anger is equal to death. Remember the Shinigami?! She's an equivalated to that!"
Somewhere at the café… Karasawa freezed to death as Futaba raised an eyebrow and Kaoruko had a wonder why he reacts that way.
"Oi Karasawa." The short girl raised an eyebrow, "You okay?"
"Oh my~" Kaoruko followed up and she just cupped his cheek which froze the guy even more, "Karasawa-han's frozen."
"Why are you touching my face?" Karasawa asked meekly, before the blue haired lady pulled her hand away, giggling that she liked to tease this guy.
"No reason~ Just for the fact that your friends are just mad at you and bully you for the heck of it. Also, I have a limit if someone is uncomfortable~" Unlike Yanagin and Ikushima, Kaoruko knows her limits sometimes… Only when Futaba is around.
"You only made his situation worse!"
Karasawa wondered about Takahiro, his other friend as he was in between a rock and a hard place and he wanted to be saved. Obviously, Futaba doesn't want the hat wearing teen to be uncomfortable around their presence while he can hear Kaoruko whining.
"But that's what happens when I'm walking for a long distance looking for you, Futaba-han~! My poor legs can't handle the punishment any longer~" This annoyed Futaba as she can't just tell the repairman to rush things just because her childhood friend says so.
"My bike needs some damn maintenance due to the overheating and the exhaust is clogged with black tar, emitting black smoke! At least learn some patience for once!"
"Karasawa-han!" She reprimanded to the male, obviously not knowing what's going on, "Please tell Futaba-han to understand my feelings too!"
Sighing, he can't tell what to do anymore because even if Futaba was the sane one of the two, he couldn't tell what Kaoruko was thinking and even doesn't know what plans she had. Outside of the café, Yanagin, Ikushima and Habara were seeing at the sights of those two stage girls while hearing some rants from Futaba and Kaoruko was acting like the damsel in distress as Karasawa was like the middle man of the two.
"Would you look at that?" Yanagin was amused by the scenario, "Toshiyuki's the center/peacemaker of the group."
"Yeah~! And by the looks of it, he finds the two ladies to be weird than us~" Ikushima added.
Habara on the other hand, she was jealous of the two women, especially Kaoruko because they can go close to him and whined without the knowledge of those three as she's pounding the concrete floor and leaving a crater behind it just to show her inhuman strength to them.
"Why Hanayagi-san can get close to Toshiyuki-kun and not me?!"
"O-Oi! Don't destroy the floor with your inhuman strength!" Yanagin tries to calm Habara down because of her crying and jealousy that any girl without a threatning aura can go near to Karasawa at ease. Even Ikushima joined the fray to stop her "rampage".
"D-Don't worry about Toshiyuki, Habara! I'm sure that Hanayagi woman would get bored of him and he'll come back with us!"
Inside the café, Karasawa tipped his hat to cover up his face and obviously Futaba can follow the pace as she knows someone's watching them. She looks at Kaoruko, giving her a blank stare.
"What did you do again? Karasawa seems to be in trouble."
"What do you mean, Futaba-han? Do you mean those so-called buddies of his are trying to get back on him?"
"If you mean the expired chocolate story, he just forget about it and he gave it to girls…" Futaba crossed her arms, before glancing Karasawa, "Am I right?"
"Yeah."
"And it gave them a bad case of diarrhea!" The short girl ranted before sighing, "No wonder they get mad! I'm here to keep Kaoruko in check as well just in case if the maintenance of my bike is all better or what."
"That was interesting on dealing with them Karasawa-han~"
"Please don't say that, Hanayagi-san." Karasawa tipped his hat and groaning at her response to which Kaoruko giggled with his approach while Futaba was trembling in disbelief, wanting to knock some sense into these two.
Outside of the café, Yanagin gave an unimpressed look towards Ikushima and Habara, which the latter stopped whining, crying about why this girl can talk to Karasawa with ease.
"They are so weird…"
"Indeed they are…" Ikushima echoed in agreement while she's holding to Habara for dear life. She screamed, "Oi Yanagin! Help me!"
"Okay~ Maybe we should plan ahead of whatever they are planning."
"Don't ignore me, woman!"
Underground Theater… (Empty Area)
Elle, Giraffe and Andrew were talking about this eventual "forbidden revue" happening that shouldn't happen years ago and it should stay dead for a long time.
"With the boys on the scene, what shall we do about it?" The pale sea green haired girl asked to the animal and "stuff toy". She felt uneasy and have heard of the history that stage girls frowned about this idea in the past, "The revues was exclusively for stage girls and this is the forbidden gate that should stay sealed for good before things would go ugly again."
"Geez… I have never seen or heard that one coming for many years." Andrew have heard of it years ago and was pondering about the topic, "I could tell, it was inevitable that guys were gonna be out of the picture forever after the trial and separate revues wasn't working out well for them-ryuu."
"You mean… This "forbidden revue" would cause the balance to be disrupted and the Korosu's would have gone out of control." The Giraffe was replying in a deep chilling tone, "We should ask our former script writer about his opinion about it."
"What do you think of this situation?... Ring Leader…" Elle asked the unknown person.
Moving the curtains away, a brown haired male with glasses, dressing up in a casual attire speaks up with a serious tone as that indicates that he doesn't have time to fool around. He stares at Giraffe, in the which the male crossed his arms and pushing his glasses.
"So… The boys are eventually in the revue on stage soon, huh? What an unexpected turn of events." It was all what the guy said before the spotlight flashed into the trio as he was just… He was called by his past moniker, "The Jokester", "Ring Leader". Obviously… Knowing too well that this isn't just some silly play, but it would be hazardous to play with uncertainess. He knew… The Sanada North High boys are eventually in danger.
'What are you guys gonna do about it? You went into dangerous grounds that it's a different kind of roleplay that you'll experienced it unlike before… Tell them about this soon…'
(1): A parody version of Myspace.
(2): A foil that the boys' (especially Yoshitake's) Kamen Rider motif was a direct opposite to Lalafin's Super Sentai motif.
(3): A reference of Kaoruko's JP VA is the same as that of Ichigaya Arisa of Bandori… She plays keyboards.
A/N: And its done… Finally! So sorry for the long wait. Again, I've done my research of the actual history of the Takarazuka Revue with boys (specifically in 1947-1955) and giving the reason why the boys sharing the girls on stage wasn't a good idea and was frowned upon them as well in the past. It will be explained by this person soon…
Anyway… I'm back and it was actually difficult for me to keep them in character for the Frontier girls and staying in pace with the wackiness of the boys, especially in the case of Misora and Tsukasa. I hoped that I did a good job on Aruru, Lalafin and Shizuha. I was obviously worried that it would butcher their character… But, we'll see. Also… Its not as much as Seisho and Rinmeikan, but I'm trying my best to give Frontier so much detail like their peers.
Next would be the last school that is Siegfeld or a short chapter about this "forbidden revue" shtick or even a different one… Keep in touch and stay tuned. Stay safe everyone.
