Moon-Viewing Live Stage
The day of the Moon-Viewing Live
Keito: “To our dear guests who have gathered: welcome to the [Moon-Viewing Live] ♪”
Mitsuru: “Welcome! I hope you guys have tons of fun~☆”
Tomoya: “We plan on enjoying the moon-viewing and live to our hearts’ content as well!”
Hajime: “Please enjoy our hospitality—the hospitality of cute rabbits...♪”
Souma: “Indeed! Let us begin tonight’s festivities under the beautiful moonlight!”
Kuro & Nazuna: “♪~♪~♪”
Keito: (Good, good. We started out well—no, it’s perfect. Everyone is surprisingly in sync; our intensive training paid off.)
(No. The theme is moon-viewing, and the performers are “Akatsuki” and “Ra*bits”.... This casting was appropriate; or should I say, it was a good fit.)
(Damn it, Tsukinaga, and also Mikejima.... How much of this was your calculation? I suppose there will be no end to it if I start suspecting them. Time to focus.)
(Fufu. I’m uncharacteristically enjoying this stage, free and relaxed. When was the last time I felt this way...?)
(I got headaches from countless worries during both the [Quarrel Festival] and [Tanabata Festival]; before then, too—my heart didn’t have a chance to rest.)
(I was constantly occupied, thinking about and dealing with plots and conspiracy. I was suffocating.)
(When did I forget about these innocent feelings? When did I lose sight of those days where I simply imagined myself standing on stage with a child-like heart?)
(.....)
Leo: Wahaha! You look like you’re having fun~, Keito ♪ You’re making a nice expression for the first time in a while! That face alone is enough to inspire a song!
Keito: Don’t start composing, Tsukinaga. Focus.
You’re already standing out because you’re the one member who’s not grouped together with a “unit.”
Don’t draw negative attention and ruin the atmosphere of our stage.
Leo: I know, I know. I won’t tactlessly cover the beautiful moon with a cloud.
Wahaha. I really feel like I’m on the moon; everything is shining.... My body feels light, was the moon’s gravity one-sixth of the earth’s?
Keito: Yes. Looks like you’re back in shape; at this rate, you can continue standing on stage as an idol.
Leo: I wonder? That all depends on how everything plays out... But you know, singing and dancing is fun!
You should celebrate like a fool at least for tonight, your brows are all furrowed again~♪
Keito: Don’t touch them. We, “Akatsuki,” are a serious “unit”; we don’t do casual skinship like you guys do.
Leo: Eh~? But during the intensive training lessons, you patted the members of “Ra*bits” all the time?
Keito: Did I? It was a subconscious action. It’s only natural to pet small animals.
Hmph. Anyhow.... I have a habit of reading between the lines, expecting a catch somewhere, but it seems like I was truly worried for nothing this time around.
Leo: That’s right, if you're suspicious of everything, you’re going to go mad.
Keito: You’re probably right. But Mikejima, who brought us this job, worked behind the scenes during the [Restoration Live], so.... I had to keep my guard up.
Leo: Listen, Mama isn’t the client, he’s just a mediator. Plus, I’m pretty sure this time around he just wanted me to get some rehab.
Mama’s a really good guy and a beloved friend, but I don’t like how he treats me like I’m broken~?
Keito: You’ve been broken once before; I can’t blame him.... What do you wish for after all this time with a heart and body full of cracks?
Leo: I said the same thing before, but you’ll understand soon enough.
Also, that’s besides the point right now. I’ll return your lecture right to you, Keito. Stop thinking about unnecessary things and focus.
The moon is so beautiful, it’d be a “waste” to look down in deep thought! Wahaha ☆
“♪~♪~♪”
Keito: (Hmph.... I didn’t think I’d get lectured by Tsukinaga; I’ve sure fallen low. But he does have a point.)
Souma: .....
Keito: (Kanzaki is looking at me with a worried gaze. I must have made him very uneasy....)
(I've been swamped with Student Council work and couldn’t properly attend to idol activities.)
(Of course he would worry, questioning.... If I really intended to be an idol, or if I had given up on my comrades.)
(That’s not the case at all, but I can’t blame him for doubting me.)
(The arms and legs will have trouble moving if the head is absent. No... to him, I am a guidepost; am I allowed to believe in that?)
(You told me you would accompany me over and over again, after all. Someone like me.... Then at the very least, in order to repay that loyalty, I will never waver.)
(I will shine with the radiance of tonight’s moon and watch over him from a slight distance above.)
(I will guide him—as his senpai, as the ringleader of “Akatsuki”—from now on and forever as well.)
(For as long as I am allowed to. Until the moon he ought to look up to sets completely.)
