Hey everyone! I decided to make some fanfics about this anime too since there are barely any. Real shame though, I really enjoyed it and would have loved to see more.
Yukari: And I could have married Nana-chan by now too…
Yui: Yukari-san… that shouldn't be your focus now…
Seriously, who keeps letting you people in here all the time?!
Nanako: You do.
Huh?
Nanako: We came for our paychecks when you started working on this.
…
Yukari: *giggles*
Just begin this thing, please…
Nanako: Xdante-san doesn't own us or any other thing related to our or any other show or anything in general. This story is his only.
Yui: *mumbles* Pretty sure Yukari-san and Nanako-san would already be married had he actually owned us.
Nanako: Did you say something, Yui-Senpai?
Yui: *smiles brightly* Nothing~
Nagarekawa Girls in Love
Chapter 1: The Girls Tried Starting a Relationship
Nagarekawa. A small town found in Japan with nothing special at all. This is not entirely true, as this place is also where the local idol (or locodol) duo was formed and to this day operates, the Nagarekawa Girls, alongside the mascot of the town, Uogokoro-kun. Our story begins at the city hall, the unofficial HQ of the locodol group.
Yukari and Nanako both walk into the building while chatting "Nana-chan, have you got more used to idol work after our performance at the competition?"
"Mostly. Though I really wish for a bigger budget…" the other idol answered while sighing.
Yukari giggled a little and replied "The people we make smile is enough payment~"
Nanako sweatdropped and said "You're too positive, Yukari-san…"
"Is that bad, Nana-chan?" the blonde girl asked while still smiling.
"Not at all. Maybe I should be like that too…" Nanako thought out loud.
Yukari replied "Just be yourself, Nana-chan~ That's what matters to everyone~" she then muttered this last part quietly "And mostly to me~"
Nanako thought her senpai added more to what she had said and asked "Did you say something just now, Yukari-san?"
"Not a thing~" Yukari answered while thinking about lowering her volume even more around Nanako.
The girls reached their meeting room and went inside. The girls playing Uogokoro-kun, Yui and Mirai, were already there when they arrived. "Yukari-san, Nanako-san, hello!" Yui greeted them as Mirai followed her example.
"Good day…" although with a lower volume…
"Hello Yui-Senpai, Mirai-san." Nanako and Yukari greeted back as they sit down next to each other, waiting for their manager and Nanako's uncle, the Director. "I hope my uncle hasn't thought of something dumb again for us to do." Nanako said, already dreading the possibilities.
Yui sweatdropped and responded "You should have a bit more faith in your uncle."
Mirai also voiced her thoughts "He and Saori-san do a lot for us..."
"Exactly~" Yukari added, agreeing with the other girls.
Just as Nanako was about to say something, her uncle and Saori came through the door and sat down at the table. Saori was the one to speak first "Everyone, let me start by saying that you all have done wonderful jobs so far."
Yukari asked "Does that mean we helped boost the town's economy?"
The Director was the one who answered the question while nodding "Indeed. You all should be very proud of yourselves. That being said…" he pushed his glasses up before continuing with a serious expression "… we have no idea where to go from here…" he finished while looking sad.
"Heh?" was all that Nanako was able to say to that. After a minute, she did ask "So… why don't we keep doing the things we already were doing?"
"It won't be enough in the long run." Saori answered "Even idols can lose their shine if they just keep doing the same things over and over. Locodols are in even greater danger in that sense, since they are limited to their own region."
Mirai raised her hand and said "Aren't we already doing different things every time?"
Saori pushed up her glasses and replied "In a sense, yes, but that can only supply us with a limited amount. It's true that Uogokoro-kun and the Nagarekawa Girls are well respected and even loved in our town and the events from before helped boost our reputation a bit but we won't be able to give you the appreciation you deserve like this. Meaning… we will have to keep reducing your pay."
Nanako was completely shocked before saying "Then let's think of something quick!"
Yukari thought about the issue for a second when all of a sudden, an idea struck her, one that might hit 2 birds with one stone. "I may have an idea that could work."
Everyone turned their attention to Yukari as the Director said "We are all ears, Yukari-san."
Yukari took a breath and then started explaining her thought "Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't a lot of locodol groups gained popularity lately with just one thing?"
"What's that Yukari-san?" Yui asked, being genuinely curious.
"They started romantic relationships with their partners." Came the answer, which got everyone stunned.
Nanako completely froze and was barely able to say "What…? You… want us… to be…"
Yukari blushed a little but did say "Hehehe~ I would be honored if it was you, Nana-chan~"
Saori's fangirl gears in her head kept turning like crazy and she felt like she just hit the jackpot with this. "If they actually start doing that, I'm so going to buy a better camera!" she thought with much enthusiasm.
The Director thought about it for a brief while then said "It is true, I have seen those headlines from other magazines. I'm not opposed to the idea, but… it all comes down to whether or not Nanako actually wants to go out with you. And for real."
"EH?!"
"Why is that so surprising?" Saori asked with a slight tilt of her head "If you won't have genuine feelings for Yukari-san, then it's best that we forget this whole concept. Otherwise, you two may as well get engaged during the next performance." Her thoughts were this though: "Please, please, please say I haven't ruined their feelings for each other!"
Yukari smiled at Nanako with her usual expression but inside, she was panicking "I'm sorry to do this to you, Nana-chan… but it's now or never."
Nanako could feel everyone's eyes on her, swallowed a big one, and finally said "I think that…" everyone leaned in closer to her "… I do… have feelings for Yukari-san!" She blushed harder than ever "There I said it! Now let's do it!"
"Nana-chan…" Yukari said with a stern voice while Nanako was looking at her now directly "I have to tell you that… if we do go through with this, I will dedicate myself to you completely and everything will be true. Every word I say, every emotion I feel, every advance I may or may not make. This won't just be a job for me. You will be my life, Nanako-chan."
Nanako could feel what this means (mostly from her senpai not using the nickname as she used to) and showed her own determined face before saying "I understand completely, Yukari-san… that's why I will do my best to convey my honest feelings about you too! Because… I do have strong feelings for you, Yu-chan!"
Everyone gasped at that and Yukari couldn't hold herself back anymore. She hugged Nanako tight and said "Thank you, Nana-chan… I truly love you~"
Nanako hugged her back while smiling and returned the feelings in a way, that Yukari definitely felt it as well "I… love you too… Yu-chan."
Everyone else in the room was clapping and Saori was setting off fireworks in her head. "YES! I am so going to buy a new high-quality camera!" She composed herself and said "Well then, let's make it official during the next event."
"Yes!~" Came the reply from all the girls, then Nanako started shaking like a leaf in Yukari's arms. "I'm scared… I hope they won't think we're odd…"
Mirai smiled and said "Your fans will still like you both. I'm sure about it."
Yukari held Nanako tighter and said "Don't worry, Nana-chan~ Even if others won't accept us, I will do so fully~"
The brown-haired girl smiled and responded "You're right, Yu-chan. It's what we feel that matters." She then hugged Yukari tighter.
"Oh, I almost forgot." The Director got up and opened the door to the back, shocking the others with what was behind it. Or to be precise: who. Both Yukari's and Nanako's family were there. "They also approve."
Nanako was stunned again and could only ask "Eh?"
Yukari kept smiling while looking at the group and said "Hehehe, seems this was the idea from the beginning then~"
Nanako was shedding tears as her parents just kept smiling at her, showing their full support "My family is supportive… but also annoying…"
Nanako's mother smiled and said "Be very nice to Yukari-san, Nanako~"
Her father also added "And keep the love alive, like we do~"
Nanako sweatdropped and paled before saying "Please… never say that again… ever…"
Yukari's cousin gave the couple a thumbs up while smiling and saying "Guess that thing about you 2 being wives isn't a joke anymore."
"When was it ever?~" the blonde locodol asked while giggling a little.
Yukari's grandfather also voiced his thoughts while smiling "Yukari, make sure you don't overdo it."
The blonde girl sweatdropped and smiled "You can't overdo love, Grandpa~"
Her grandfather laughed a bit and replied "That is true."
Yui thought "It is so not…" then smiled and said "Well, least all your family and friends support you two~"
Yukari nodded and hugged Nanako tighter "And that's all we need~ Right, Nana-chan?"
Nanako returned the hug and replied "Yes, Yu-chan~" She did, however, realize what Yui said and panicked again "Wait… my friends… oh... oh…"
Mirai turned to Yui and told her "Maybe you should have left that part out, Yui-senpai…"
The older girl sweatdropped with an awkward smile and replied "Yep… probably~"
The day of the event
The Nagarekawa Girls and Uogokoro-kun are performing at the usual place in town. The mascot was the first to go on stage this time as the girls will be the main event for today. Yukari gently adjusted Nanako's clothes one final time and asked "How are you feeling, Nana-chan?"
Nanako gulped but looked at her partner while answering "Honestly… I'm really nervous… I have no idea what the reception will be… especially from my friends… Noda-chan and the others are here too but…" she started smiling at Yukari and even held her hands before continuing "…you're here with me, Yu-chan… that's all that matters." After finishing her sentence, she even gave Yukari a loving smile.
"Nana-chan… I'm falling for you again~" the blonde replied and hugged her partner gently "I love you~ No matter what happens today, we're an item~"
"Yeah~ We're… a couple~"
"Exactly, Nana-chan~"
Saori walked into the dressing tent to inform them to get ready in 5. When she saw the 2 girls, she immediately started clicking her camera like crazy while smiling in a creepy way. After about a minute, she stopped doing that (much to her own regret) and informed the girls "Yukari-san, Nanako-san. It's time~"
Yukari nodded as she and Nanako stood up "Right!"
The brown-haired girl was still nervous but replied with a firm "Alright!" before going on the stage with her partner.
On the stage, Uogokoro-kun has just finished his performance and will now announce the girls. Oh, and if you're asking, Yui's in the costume now. "Thank you, Everyone!~" the mascot shouted which got a large round of applause from the audience. She then continued "Now for today's main event! The Nagarekawa Girls!"
Yukari and Nanako entered the stage from the right side of the audience as Uogokoro-kun stepped back to give the girls some space. Yukari started the greeting "Good day, Everyone! We are~" She and her partner got into their usual pose and both of them said "The Nagarekawa Girls!" which got loud applause from the people gathered there. Yukari continued "I am Yukari~"
"And I am Nanya-" Nanako stuttered (as per usual) which got a good laugh out of everyone watching, especially the children and even her friends. "… Nanako…"
After the audience went silent, Yukari spoke once more "Today, we have gathered here for a very special announcement~" everyone started whispering among each other what it could be before the blonde girl continued "And the one giving it~ Will be Nana-chan~"
After another round of applause, Nanako took center stage and she was visibly getting more and more nervous. She decided to push her fears and other negative thoughts out of her head and made the big reveal "Everyone! From now on… Yukari-san and myself…" everyone waited anxiously for the finishing touch "… we're a couple from now! We're girlfriends, who love each other and we'll get married someday!"
Even Yukari herself was surprised at the final word but it soon turned into a lovely smile, as she was looking at the love of her life being extremely brave on stage. Her thoughts did wander off a bit "Nana-chan… I can't wait for that day~ I'm so happy right now~"
Nanako was feeling terrified since there was complete silence after the big announcement. However, she was amazed by the big applause that soon followed. Many people even shouted their congratulations and even wished them good luck. The children too, seemed eager about them being together. Nanako was able to spot her friends, who were giving her a thumbs up and a nod of their heads. At that moment, all of her worries faded away and she stood next to her partner and girlfriend, holding hands while smiling at the audience. "Thank you very much!~"
"We'll still do our best as locodols!~" Yukari shouted which made the crowd even happier.
Yui (in the costume) was clapping and smiling widely inside the suit. Offstage, Mirai was also clapping happily. Saori kept taking more and more photos of them, as she was grinning like crazy. "I love this job~"
The surprises weren't over yet, because Nanako surprised everyone (her partner included) when she gave Yukari a loving kiss on the lips. After her shock wore down, the blonde girl happily returned it while hugging her girlfriend tenderly. When that was over, Yukari took over the lead "For this wonderful occasion, we brought you a new song!~"
A little while later (after the song)
Once the performance was over, the girls left the stage as their fans kept applauding all the while. Nanako and Yukari even heard a lot of them talking about how cool they have become. Nanako's worries vanished completely.
The event ended without any problems. The adrenaline that Nanako felt has finally died down and she slumped into her chair. She sighed before saying "That was… a thing…"
Yukari giggled as she sat down next to her while handing her own water bottle to her girlfriend. "Share?~"
Nanako smiled and replied "Sure~" then she took the bottle and drank from it a little.
Yui came in while still wearing her costume, minus the head, with Mirai following behind her. "Good job, Yukari-san~ Nanako-san~"
"You too, Yui-san~" Yukari replied.
Mirai turned to Nanako and said in a silent manner "Are you… going to be okay now… Nanako-san?"
Said girl smiled at her friend and co-worker then said "I'll be perfect, thanks for asking, Mirai-san~"
Saori and the Director came in soon after that, telling them about the show with a smile "Good news. Seems you 2 will make the headline in the papers tomorrow."
"Not only that, people will be looking forward to receiving information about your love life~" Saori added which made Nanako shot up in surprise and some worry. Again.
"What?! They want to know everything?!" she asked as her eyes turned as big as dinner plates.
Saori nodded with a smile and answered "Naturally~ You just need to satisfy their interest, so you can still have some private life. I think."
Yukari hugged Nanako and told her "I have nothing to hide~ My love for you, Nana-chan, is the one thing I will gladly boast about to anyone~ I love you~"
"Yeah… I love you too~" Nanako hugged her back with a smile but still said "I would still like some private life though…"
Yukari giggled before saying "I'll make sure only the things you approve will be leaked out, Nana-chan~"
Nanako relaxed and smiled at her girlfriend "Least they'll know that our feelings for each other is true."
"That's the way it is~" Yukari replied before taking Nanako away to change.
On the way home the girls kept holding on to each other's hands like they were glued together. Becoming a locodol may not have been Nanako's decision, but she sure wouldn't change anything about it, especially now with her partner and girlfriend. Both of them are excited to see where the next events will take them.
