[Translation] Mao Isara Idol Story - A Student Council President’s Day Off

Season: Summer

Location: Seisoukan Common Room

Mao: (Yawn) Go~od morning...

Ah, as expected, no one is here. It's that time where it's too late for breakfast but too early for lunch after all.

It's lonely to sit here in silence, should I turn on the TV? Any channel should be fine... The news will do.

(I had such a good sleep... It's been so long since I wasn't busy with school or work.)

(I won't think about difficult things today and just relax. After eating I'll...)

(What should I do? I haven't had a day to myself in so long I'm not sure what to do.)

(I think I'll just go out for now. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but I could go watch a movie alone. I wonder what they're playing right nowー)

(Ah. The report on JNLC[1] has started.)

(Right, Hibiki-senpai and Nagisa-san participated together. That duo was so unique they quickly became the talk of the town~)

(There were articles about how eccentric their performance was, and it blew up on social media too.)

Aira: (Sigh)

Mao: (Huh, It's Shiratori. He's pacing up and down, I wonder what's up.)

Aira: What should I do... This is such a dilemma...

Mao: (Hmmm, he's obviously worried about something. I'm curious now, so I guess I'll hear him out.)

What's up, Shiratori? Is something troubling you?

Aira: Uuuu, Captain Isara... Nothing's happened yet, but I think something might soon...

Tenshouin-senpai is hospitalized right now, and as his roommate I'm supposed to bring him a change of clothes.

But like, I'm too nervous to take them with me! I start trembling just from touching them!

This is basically a hospital visit, right!? Is it even alright for me to go? But if I don't go, I will cause trouble for Tenshouin-senpai...

Also, his clothes smell so good! What kind of softener does a top idol even use!?

We're talking about Tenshouin-senpai after all, so it must be some foreign brand, right!?

Mao: Calm down. You're so worked up you're not really making any sense right now.

You don't need to be so nervous. If your senior asked you a favor, just take it with you as usual.

Aira: How can I do it as usual!? If I could I already would have done it!

Mao: I guess it can't be helped then... I'll go with you.

Location: Saison Avenue

Aira: Thank you sooo much for coming with me, Captain Isara...!

Mao: Don't sweat it. Besides, it must be tough for Tenshouin-senpai, being hospitalized and all. He's been looking so much better lately compared to how he was last year.

Aira: Last year...

Mao: Yeah. Back when he ruled over Yumenosaki Academy as The Emperor.

I belonged to the student council back then too, so I didn't feel as distant to him as other students. Still, I never expected to just casually pay him a visit like this.

Aira: I'm not as carefree as you. We've been roommates for a while now, but I still can't help but feel awkward around him.

It's the same when I meet other idols, I get totally nervous...

Mao: Huh. I'm also an idol, but I don't think I remember you being nervous around me?

Aira: Because there's something different about you, Captain.

Mao: What's that supposed to mean...

If you mean I'm easy to get along with, then I don't mind♪

Location: Hospital Room (Private Room)

Mao: What's that noise... Excu~se us.

Aira: T-Tenshouin-senpai, I brought your clothesー

Eichi: ............

Aira: I-Is he dead!?

Mao: Huh!? F-for real, the waves on the heart monitor aren't moving!

Aira: I-I have to call an ambulance, wheres my phone!?

Mao: Keep it together! We're at the hospital, what's calling an ambulance gonna do!?

Aira: Excuse m... Huh, why'd Hiro-kun pick up?

Maybe I went to call history by accident. Sorry, don't worry about it!

Mao: That's why I told you to stay calm. There should be a call button by his bedside we can call a nurse with.

There it is. Just press thisー Uwaaaah!?

Aira: Eeeek! The corpse just grabbed your arm, Captaaain!

Eichi: Ah, good morning. ...Well, it's kinda late to say that now.

Mao: ............

Aira: ............

Eichi: What's wrong? It's impolite not to greet someone when they greet you. Especially since you are idols.

Mao: Uhhh... Are you really alive...?

Eichi: Of course. I was just pretending to be dead to entertain my visitors.

Mao: (He was pretending to be dead, huh... Come to think about it, this hospital is affiliated with his family after all.)

(It's no wonder why no one came to the sound of the monitor beeping. He got us good...)

You scared us to death instead... Look, Shiratori hasn't moved a millimeter since we got here.

Are you alright, Shiratori? Hang in there, man.

Aira: ...Ah!

Aira: I-I'm so glad you're alive, Tenshouin-senpai...! I thought you died because I didn't bring your clothes fast enough...

Mao: What kinda cause of death is that...?

How are you feeling, Tenshouin-senpai?

Eichi: I'm feeling fine. I'm not sick, I've just been overworking myself lately it seems.

I'll have to stay a bit longer for some extra examinations, just to be safe. But if everything goes fine I'll be discharged soon enough.

...That's right. Since you two are here already, can you do something fun for me?

Mao: Whaat?

Eichi: Well, Wataru always does something fun for me whenever he visits, you guys can do the same, right?

Mao: Err, even if you say that...

Eichi: Please. I am forbidden from leaving this hospital room, it feels like I'm some bird in a cage.

Without stimulation, mankind is bound to decline. I want to be able to give it my all as soon as I return, so I want you to indulge me.

Mao: (Ugh... There's no way out of this now. He's going to make us do what he wants no matter what...)

Aira: (whispering) What should we do, Captain? I can't think of anything interesting...

Mao: (whispering) Same, but we've got no choice but to do something... Hey, have you seen Hibiki-senpai and Nagisa-san's performance at the JNLC?

Aira: (whispering) Obviously, I replayed it over and over again.

Aira: (whispering) ...Wait, do you mean we should...!?

Mao: (whispering) Yep. Tenshouin-senpai probably wouldn't find it entertaining if we put on a manzai act[2], so shouldn't we do something he's already familiar with?

Aira: (whispering) I get that, but are we really going to do that...?

Eichi: Do you need more time? If you don't hurry I might actually die from boredom.

Mao: Eh, please don't say things like that, it's bad luck you know!

Let's do this, Shiratori!

Aira: All right, Captain!
