[Summary]

The auditions are over, and finally, the new members entering Gekidan Altair are decided. The restless current members are checking the profile of the successful applicant without delay...

 [Story]

Just after that Tatsuhiko opened the door of the meeting room, Yousuke, who was on the watch, stood up suddenly.

“You came, Tatsu~!”

It wasn’t only Yousuke.  All Algeki members were gathered and everyone was observing Tatsuhiko with an interested expression.

“Everyone, sorry for making you wait.”

“Seriously, I was tired to wait.”

Touma said without shame and laughed.

“Good work, Tatsuhiko! Then… Had it been decided?”

Tatsuhiko nodded to Rintaro’s interrogation.

“Yes, they decided the new members. From now, I’ll show you their profiles.”

“Ooh~!”

Unanimously, delightful voices rose.

“Finally, I wonder who was chosen. It’s a pleasure!”

“Itsuki, that’s good. As expected, I also wanted to be an examiner.”

“It’s okay. One day, Tomte will also guide you, Touma.”

“Eh, well…”

“Let’s chat after, please, hurry and show us, Tatsuhiko.”

With Hijiri’s urging voice, Tatsuhiko took out files from the tote bag on his shoulder, then spreaded the documents on the meeting place desk.

“The new members are those 7 persons.”

Leaning towards the desk, all the members paid attention to the documents.

“Ugh!”

“It’s Nobuaki.”

The first voices to rise were Izumo’s and Ritsu’s.

“Aaah… That guy, he seriously passed it…”

“Nobuaki is amazing.”

“This Azabu Nobuaki is an acquaintance of yours, Izumo, Ritsu?”

With a fed up face, Izumi picked the documents to Maki who was tilting his head:

“Look at the history career written here.”

“Transfered from Tsukipro Child actors department… Aaah, I see.”

“On the day of the audition, he contacted me and said “take care of me” because he was absolutely passing.”

Ritsu looked shy and exchanged a knowing smile with Izumo.

“Eh, it’s an amazing confidence.”

“I’ve blocked him right away.”

“...No, Izumo. Whatever the circumstances may be, it’s horrible.”

“Maki, you can’t say things like that when you don’t know his annoying positive thinking!”

 “Ah, this person!”

Rintaro’s surprised voice rose, and he pointed at the document.

“Please look, Itsuki. Kuramae Kazuki remains...!”

“Ah, really! That’s good, right, Rin.”

“By any chance, is it the one you said he applied because he admires Rin?”

“Right, right.”

“At this moment, I was really surprised…”

“Take care of him, Rin~”

“Yes!”

 “Ah, when Touma came with the documents, there was a precise selected person remaining. Err… Komagome Taiki?”

“Waw… He had such a feeling…”

“? What’s happening? By any chance, is he an acquaintance?

Hearing Itsuki’s question, Touma shook his head with all his strength.

“No no no! Never! No way! He isn’t!”

“Really…?”

 “Hey, Itsuki. The ascending model you were talking about, it’s that guy?”

“Ah, yes yes. Nagano Tatsuya. Hijiri, do you know him?”

“No… Likewise, even if I see his face, he doesn’t remind me someone. So it means that until now, he doesn’t have exposure.”

“Hijiri is harsh like always. But I’m a bit worried for him. He can feel close things around.”

“Ah? Close things, like Yuri…?”

“What do you mean? Don’t tell us this guy is a newcomer fairy…?”

Sakuya and Izumi exchanged glances quietly, and Yuri smiled with significance even more.

“Fufufu. It will be great to be able to meet him.”

“Stop it! It’s scary when you laugh!”

 “Hey, hey, I’m very interested by this guy!”

Saying that, Yousuke picked up one document.

“Look, he’s a former stunt man! Amazing!”

“Aah, Morishita Shozo? Certainly it seems he will get along with you.”

“Seriously? If Tatsu says it, I will expect it!”

 “Well, are you interested by someone, Mikado?”

Rintarou brought the subject in a casual manner, and thinking a bit, Mikado answered “That’s right” and pointed a document.

“This guy, Ryogoku Junpei. There’s a little feeling of enthusiasm. This honesty is pure, I’m interested.”

“Really? Let me see. Inside, he seems relatively simple, his special skills are kendo and violin and… There are a lot! He has the smell of the gently celeb!”

“To, Touma, Touma.”

“I see. It’s possible that his facial expression gives an effect and can be such a factor. If he could relax a bit, it would be good.”

While taking a good look at the documents, the chat kept being noisy.

(New members, huh?)

Observing the high spirited members, Tatsuhiko let out a tiny sigh.

Currently, they were 12 members. With the 7 person joining, they will be 19 in total. As a Tsukipro’s unit, they will be a large family group.

(If the number of people increases, then various things will increase too, huh?)

Serious things, and of course, fun things too.

(But, well, even if I worry before it starts, it can’t be helped. I should act right now without overthinking after all, that’s an important thing I learned.)

It was possible that the him from last year would complain “the leader bears a lot of responsibilities” to Yousuke.

(But all together, we didn’t change at all until last year.)

Insufficient parts were just room for growth.

Things you didn’t know meant your world could be expanded.

They knew that they would experience various things, and that their weaknesses would also get stronger.

So, right now, it was okay if they had expectations.

Then, the first thing he would tell them when they would arrive at the dormitory, what he would greet all the members with...

ーーThe place that aim the bright first star of the evening. Welcome to Gekidan Altair!

[Summary]

The last examination over, Ryogoku Junpei is going back home. It was auditions that challenged him not to change a thing from the ordinary person he was, but he is wrapped up by negative feelings on his way back home. To such a Junpei, a voice was raised, and it was Morishita Shozo who participated to the same audition.

[Story]

“Auditions are over. Good work.”

“...Thank you for today.”

Lowering his head to the staff, Ryogoku Junpei left the auditions place.

(The third examination is also over…)

After that, it was only waiting for the communication of the results.

He went outside. His cheeks caressed by a comfortable wind, he sighed a bit.

(I was very nervous.)

He had the feeling of having done something, but also a feeling of not being able to do more things.

Both were slowly burning at the same strength.

(If I failed.)

Even though he knew it was useless to think about it, he now imagined the discouragement he would feel when he would fail.

(I should calm down.)

He shook his head, and took a folded flyer from his pocket. It was a flyer of the auditions recruitment points webpage.

At the top was written “You too, become the first brighting star of the evening”.

(I want to be...huh)

He looked at the sky.

——Junpei-kun is really skillful, right.

——It’s great that you can do everything.

 He didn’t know how many times he was told that about his abilities.

At home, there was a kendo dojo. Because he obtained the dan* quickly, he was currently third dan. Studying at school was also fun. Since he was a child, he learned various things, amongst them was also violin, and several times, he had the ability to appear in concours.

(But that degree...)

 In the whole country, anyone took the third dan as a senior high school student. His results at school were always superior but each time it wasn’t as good as the head of the class, and before he was aware of his ability, he was no match for the gifted educated violinists he met.

He was a low-profile honor student who could handle everything moderately. It was the “myself” of now that he had completed over the past 17 years.

Once again, he looked at the flyer in his hands.

(The first star…)

　His heart had been strongly charmed by this very simple catchphrase.

(I want to be.)

For himself, it stuck in his heart by itself -- He wanted to become such a person.

“Ah, you’re here, you’re here! Heeeey!! The violinist there!!”

From behind, there was a big voice that surprised him. Without thinking, he turned his head and,

“Yes, yes, you! Aaah, that’s great! I’m on time!”

Shaking his hands, he ran straight towards him.

“This. I’ve been told to carry across this by our senior!”

“...Our senior?”

He tilted his neck, and he laughed with a grin.

“Kaname-san from Algeki! He was at the audition meeting place.”

He said, and he handed the flyer.

“This. When you left, it fell at the exit.”

“...Thank you.”

“Hm? Why keigo*?”

“You’re older than me, right? You said you were 19 years old during your presentation at the audition.”

“You remembered well!”

He made a surprised face from the bottom of his heart.

“No, this is… I think maybe everyone remember it.”

“Seriously! Everyone has a good head!”

He was fully overacting, but it didn’t seem to be sarcasm at all. On the contrary, he laughed unintentionally.

“No. That’s not that, but that.”

Junpei pointed at the super hero belt the other was wearing since the audition meeting place, and he laughed, seeming happy once again.

“Oh, this! I see, that’s a great thing! You remembered it!”

“Your appeal was also very impressive.”

“Seriously? Great!”

With a free smile, he seemed to have forgotten they were rivals at the audition.

(I’m certain he said he was doing an action stunt job.)

He said that his objective was to become a talent who “makes people feel fine”. He talked about it with sparkling eyes, and it had been very radiant.

(Surely, such a person will pass, right.)

While thinking faintly such a thing, he tapped his shoulders suddenly.

“Your violin was also very great! I’m sure you will pass!”

“Eh…”

“Why are you surprised! Everyone was really surprised!”

“Is that so?”

“Right! You don’t remember?”

“... I was nervous.”

“You didn’t look nervous at all? What, you, you were fascinating!”

“Fascinating… Me?”

“Yeah. Super fascinating.”

This time, he was the one surprised.

(Fascinating…)

It was the first time he was told such a thing.

“Soooo, don’t use keigo. Let’s become friend. I’m Morishita Shozo.”

“Ah, I’m Ryogoku Junpei.”

He showed his hand, and confused, he answered by taking it.

　Thereupon, he was strongly caught by Shozo.

“Junpei, please, take care of me!”

Right now, it was the bright midday sky. He couldn’t see the stars yet.

But the stars were always brighting in this big sky.

Gekidan Altair - A Step Towards The Future

Here comes Gekidan Altair 13th Short Story~

[Summary]

With his family’s cheering, Toyosu Daisuke attended Gekidan Altair’s Auditions. The one such a boy like him met during the final audition was Nakano Tatsuya, a young boy who went “my pace” clad in a strange atmosphere.

[Story]

“Thank you for escorting me until here! So, I go.”

With a smile, waving his hand to his high spirited little sisters, Toyosu Daisuke went through the station’s tickets gate.

“If it’s big bro, you’ll definitely pass,” his little sisters, Tsukipro fans, pushed him in the back to apply to Gekidan Altair’s auditions, and soon, it was the final one.

There was also a feeling of a commemorative exam at first, but when he watched the face of his pleased sisters, he rapidly wished to pass.

(By becoming a talent, I want to make a lot of people happy.)

He wanted to do a work of support for someone--The contour of his indistinct dream became quickly clear.

More than everything, everyone in his family supported him for the audition with a “if it’s you, you can do it!”.

He was really happy about it.

(I came till here, I definitely want to pass!)

With a light-hearted walk, he finally arrived at Tsukino Public Entertainment Production. There was still plenty of time.

“Err, the audition’s meeting place is…”

Looking at the outline of the third audition written on a piece of paper, he looked around in the lobby. And then, it happened.

“Wow...Oh!”

He hit something with his feet, and tripped. In some way or another, he was able to bear with it and barely fell, and he turned his head behind him--

“...A leg?”

At the angle of the corridor, a long leg stood out. It seemed that he stepped on this leg.

(But, why is there a leg in such a place…?)

He wondered, and was surprised.

(Someone… collapsed!?)

Confused, he ran over them.

“Err, are you alright!?”

He asked, and the person sat at the corner of the corridor raised a lazy face.

(Ah…)

Their eyes met.

Staring there motionlessly, there was a young person. Eyes with a faint pigment. A straight look, and a graceful figure.

(He looks like a cat.)

He thought, and crouched down. His eyes widened.

“Are you hurt?”

Thereupon, the boy he looked at stayed silent for a moment, then abruptly said:

“Ah… No.”

He said that with a soft voice, different from what his appearance suggested, and he continued, tilting his head:

“For that too, sorry.”

“Err…?”

“My leg. Being an hindrance.”

“Aah, not at all. I’m fine.”

He let short words leak out bit by bit but Daisuke understood he was worried for him, and he smiled without thinking.

“What were you doing here?”

“I was sitting.”

He said that with a serious look then stayed silent, then, after two, three blinks

“Because I was tired to stand.”

He continued with a serious look.

“I see. You could have go the the sofa, but you prefered here?”

“Yes. It’s hard, and cold.”

He nodded with a humble look.

(What does that mean… He’s a very fickle person.)

The tempo was peculiar but he listened and answered, so Daisuke thought he wasn’t a bad person.

“Ah… Tatsuya-kun!”

There were rushing stepfoot, then a confused voice above their head raised.

“Th, thanks goodness~... As you weren’t arriving quickly, I was worried~ You should go to the auditions place soon.”

Thereupon, he muttered “Itsuki-kun” and nodded.

(Ah… I see.)

He looked away, with an unique aura. He also came to pass the auditions alone.

(Moreover, Itsuki… Nagata Itsuki.)

A talent belonging to Gekidan Altair -- A person that could become his senior.

“Err, excuse-me. I bumped into his leg. And it took extra time.”

He stood up in a hurry, and Itsuki’s eyes opened wide like saying “Waah...He’s a tall person!”.

“Is it possible that you came for the auditions?”

“Yes. My name is Toyosu Daisuke.”

Answering that, he looked at Tatsuya and their eyes met again.

“If it’s okay, let’s go to the meeting place together. Tatsuya.”

Resolutely, he gave his hand.

But, without taking it, Tatsuya softly stood up alone.

(He doesn’t give hands so suddenly?)

With a bitter smile, he immediately caught his sleeve effortless.

“Itsuki-kun. I go. With Daisuke, to the auditions.”

Saying that clearly, Tatsuya, holding Daisuke’s sleeve, walked suddenly.

“Eh, Tatsuya--”

“The meeting place, here.”

While being pulled, he turned his head to look over his shoulder and smiled to Itsuki’s “Good luck, you two!”.

His future senior, and his future unit mate of same age were in front of his eyes.

He stretched his hand, caught it, and was pulled in the meeting place.

(...Fine)

Soon, it wouldn’t be a dream at all.

[Summary]

The auditions to choose Gekidan Altair’s new members. This time, the ones standing at the examinations place are “Kimagome Taiki” and “Kuramae Kazuki”. What are the reasons for those two, contrast both in appearance and mind, wishing to enroll…?

[Story]

“Kimagome Taiki, 17 years old ♪”

Saying that, Taiki winked softly.

The examiners understood that he was just starting.

(Yes, right, right. This is a good feeling.)

The examiners are humans. With the group of ten people in the final auditions stage approaching, his concentration is falling apart little by little.

(Say, are you watching me?)

In their minds, there are the flipping application forms written with their name, date of birth, height, weight, reason of the application, et cetera, et cetera.

I have done a bundle of my 17 years, a rough piece of paper.

But, what is written on this, it isn’t me.

It is me, but it isn’t me.

(Watch me more.)

But, that is why I am here.

(Watch me seriously.)

I know that if I only incline my head slightly, keep a humble smile, and narrow my eyes just a little, I won’t look too calculating.

I know better than anyone how I look the cutest.

(Say? If I was a child talent, don’t you think everyone would be pleased?)

――Of course, I don’t say it.

“A person who smiles sweetly without thinking...I want to become such an idol!”

I know very well what kind of words will go to their hearts, with this expression and this voice.　

The point is that I absolutely don’t lie.

If I lied, a lie for this lie would be necessary.

It isn’t necessary to use too much energy. Being myself is fine.

Because I am adorable.

“Waaw…”

I heard a small murmur from somewhere.

(Huh… Who was it, right now?)

It isn’t an examiner in front of me. I search for a hint without turning my head.

(Talking about that, earlier, there was someone who entered holding documents, if I remember well. Sometimes there are people with such a reaction.)

Most of the time, people who can understand the way I think are “comrades”. That’s what you’d call repugnance for the same kind.

If I turned it the other way, I could say that it was a person who could react with the maximum to my charm.

(Huhu. If he passes the auditions, I wonder if we’ll be able to meet again. It’s fun.)

The same way that person noticed me, I’ll probably know who they are at first glance, too.

“Thank you for coming to the Public Relations. Then, next person.”

When the examinator’s voice raises, I bow slightly and go back to my sit. I pass by my companion facing the next examination.

(Waw… He’s the cool kind.)

Deep carve, manly features. From his sharp eyes and thick eyebrows, he gives off a feeling of honesty.

(You, you’re good. Your character and mine aren’t too close either.)

In this place, we are no less than rivals but I am the type to praise honestly.

“Kuramae Kazuki, I’m 16 years old.”

He said that with a calm voice not betraying his impression, but...

(Huuuuh? 16…? 16 years old!?)

Surprised, I look at him a second time unintentionally.

(I can’t believe he’s younger than me!)

There is also a “Eh?” coming from the examiners. But, just as if the person was used to [people being surprised by his age], they kept talking like they didn’t care.

“I applied to this audition because I admire Ichigaya Rintarou from Gekidan Altair.”

“Eeeeh!?”

The voice of one examiner raised from a big chair doing a clunk sound .

“Ah, so, sorry! That was a little surprising…”

The face of the examiner wearing glasses was bright red, and he lowered his head so desperately he almost hit it on the desk. And…

(Ah… I see.)

Kuramae Kazuki was looking directly into Ichigaya Rintarou’s eyes.

(This examiner is Ichigaya Rintarou, right?)

I heard there was a member of the group in the examiners but I didn’t know who would participate. I’m pretty sure it’s not event flattery.

Nevertheless, he watched Rintarou directly.

(Wait, wait.)

Without thinking, I laughed.

(People are a bit more stressed, or shy than that, normally.)

There was no embarrassedly hidden smile, sign of embarrassment, not even any showing of his own originality coming from Kuramae Kazuki.

“I want to challenge various think while while following my seniors’ steps. I’m looking forwards to working with you.”

He says, lowering his head according to the convention. Without thinking, I was fascinated by his beautiful spine.

(This, he also passes the examination. Of course, me too)

Instinctively, I laughed secretly.

(Huhu. It seems it’ll be interesting!)

Hey, Writers

Yes, you. You, with the pen in hand, the laptop atop your lap. You, with the scribbles and the scrawls. You with the tappity-taps and clickity-clicks. You, with the eraser marks. You, with the red and green squiggles. You, who knows a piece of written paper equals a little more than half a typed page. You, who knows 50,000 words is about 100 regular pages. You, who doesn’t know how to spell a word because you’ve only heard it spoken, but never seen it written. You, who stuffed your work in the attic drawer. You, who saved your story inside a chain of files so nobody would read it by accident.

Your writing is important. Don’t give up.

Gekidan Altair: Start of the Final Examination!

[Summary]

The third examination in the auditions for Gekidan Altair’s new members started. Here, the chosen people will officially enter Algeki. In this examination’s place, “Azabu Nobuaki”, Izumo’s and Ritsu’s old friend, appeared.

[Story]

“So, from now on, the third examination for Gekidan Altair’s audition starts.”

At the examiner’s voice, Nobuaki corrected his posture once again.

“Everyone will sing, dance, play the script they’ve been given prior, give their own appeal, and after the questions and answers session of the examiners, it will be over.”

Hearing the explanations, he slowly looked out over the examination assembly. Forwards the examiners, horizontally standing, there were his rivals came out from the first and second examinations.

(Well, I participate in the third war)

The first was the inspection of the official documents, and the second was the general application to the auditions.

In the case of people belonging to the other Tsukipro’s departments and authorized people with recommendation, it was the third examination. As he had enrolled in Tsukipro’s child actors department when he was a child, he participated to the third examination.

(Everyone is doing a serious face, they look like good guys!  If I could be friends with all of them, it would be good…

… But sorry!)

With all his will in his heart, he joined his hands.

(Because this time, I’ll pass! Everyone, do your best for the next!)

Today’s members weren’t opponents.

(This, if I talk carelessly, I’ll say impertinent things.)

He shouldn’t say that but his sixth sense had never been wrong. The air, the atmosphere, and the  direction of the wind said “it’s coming”.

(Besides, there is no way I’m going to fail)

To pass the auditions was just a checkpoint to reach his goal.

“Eh, a transfer? Izumo and Ritsu?”

It was last year. He asked in return to the manager without thinking, confused by the sudden talk.

“Why? I thought they would absolutely not move from the actors’ division!”

He was informed about the recommendation from the president, and finally the wish of the concerned people, but not about their consent at all.

Especially, since first of all Izumo and him were in the child actors department, he believed that they had a high level, and naturally, he thought that moving from the child actors department to the actors department was the ultimate way for an actor.

“Why in a theater troupe after such a long time!?”

When he asked in details, despite its name, “Gekidan Altair” wasn’t exactly a troup, but rather acted as idols, surpassing the simple concept of singing and playing.

By no means it meant that he would give up being an actor and follow another path.

(But of course, it’s not enough!)

But even if he had asked to Izumo, he would only answer “I do whatever I want with my future”. As only himself thought about each other as rivals, Nobuaki got more and more angry, didn’t listen to Rigel’s debut CD, and time flew.

He changed his thinking when he saw by accident the “Music Stage” Video.

(Oh no!)

He was convinced to know well Izumo’s potential. They were of the same age, and their real ability should be equal.

(What is it? This man, why does he do such a face?)

Inseparable since their childhood, they also fought in auditions, and played in the same drama. And yet.

(Such a voice.)

Under the spotlight, Izumo was another person.

Confused by hearing all the released CD, he also went to see Algeki’s performances. He was surprised that Izumo wasn’t the only one changed.

(Eh, it’s a joke! It’s Ritsu!?)

The face of the small child standing timidly in the corner of the studio was nowhere to be seen.

“The examination is following the entry number, and you will perform alone.”

The examiner’s voice woke him up, and when he saw his face, he said “Ah!” without thinking.

(This examiner, it’s a member of Algeki!)

It was certainly Kaname Tatsuhiko, Gekidan Altair’s leader.

“The person whose number is called will stand up, and you will go to a fixed place. Then, give your name and, to the people attached to an office, the name of your office.

This time, because there are a lot of people left for the third examination, we will conduct the auditions on a period of two days.

Because the examination will be conduct with a unit of ten people, the people who are over will return to their place. Once all the ten people are over, exit the room, please.”

Tatsuhiko explains while looking at the schedule.

(The third examination will be enough? Eh. … Well, it’s fine. No matter what, I won’t lose.)

Secretly, he breathes deeply.

Kaname Tatsuhiko, Senkawa Ritsu, and Osaki Izumo belonged to Gekidan Altair.

(I will definitely enter Gekidan Altair.)

Once he was decided, he didn’t step back.

He is the same as them, no, he will shine more and more.

“So, Entry Number One.” A voice says.

Smiling, he stood up.

“Yes! Azabu Nobuaki, from Tsukino Production Child Actors Department!”

[Summary]

Continuing from the last time, the members are meeting to decide of who will be the interviewer for Gekidan Altair’s new members’ auditions. Remembering that the flowers were blooming during their own auditions, what will be their decision for the interviewer!?

[Story]

Err… The last time, we digressed a little, but now, it’s the crucial moment!

Ah, the presenter who continues is me, Ichigaya Rintarou!

The topic is “Gekidan Altair, about the interviewer’s selection for the new members’ auditions”.  

“Well… Is it okay?”

Yes, Itsuki-san, it’s fine!

“About the interview, will we have to question the new members’ candidates during the auditions?”

Tatsuhiko-san, what about such a matter?

“It seems that the elected representative member will question and comment about Algeki’s early days.”

“Question and comment during the auditions, like their reason for their application, and their ambition?”

“That’s right.”

Ah yes, by the way, they asked us for it, right. Our reasons and ambitions.

“Shorty, even though you wanted to be a manager, you entered in the wrong auditions room, right? What did you do?”

Err...about my wish to become a manager, in my own special way, I had aspiration to be a talent… maybe.

“Maybe, what is this maybe?”

“Because Rintarou was confused. Right?”

Ritsu-kun, thank you for following...

“Talents can give energy and courage to a lot of people every day. He respects such people, and yearning to support them by becoming their shadow. Surely, he said something with such a feeling.”

Maki-san, you remember well!

“That’s because I heard it nearby. Even if he was flustered, they thought  he said reliable things.”

“Eh, by the way, Maki-san? Is it okay to tell us what you said?”

Ah, Touma-kun, this is good! I want to hear too.

“I said it was my big sister who made an application for me.”

“Eh, you said it that way!?”

“Even if I lied, it wouldn’t have changed anything, right.”

“But you know, maybe Maki-chan didn’t say that only…?”

Yosuke says, but? Maki-san!

“Since I managed to stay until the third selection, it means that someone held expectations about me, and maybe also because I said I wanted to leave results.”

“Hey hey hey! Did you heard, Touma!”

“During the auditions, you showed your true character all together! By the way, why do you have an angry face, Yosuke-san!?”

“Because my child has a charming energy. Right, Izumo?”

“I said nothing, idiot!”

“You’re kidding. You’re shy.”

“Shut up, idiot!”

“Is Rigel bragging...There, there…”

Ahaha...

“More importantly, we’re still digressing, is it okay? We should choose the interviewer.”

Ah, that’s, that’s right!

Hijiri-san, thank you!!

“But honestly, everyone is interested to be the interviewer, right? Not to worry you about the upcoming auditions, but it is possible that the guys who will pass it become our friends?”

“That’s right. Just like Touma said, even if we were announcing candidates, we wouldn’t be able to settle it.”

“Tatsuhiko, won’t you leave it to me? I have a great method.”

Yuri-san? What are you holding?

“Fufu. It’s an old method transmitted in Sweden. You pull out one paper, and the person who draw the one with a rune written on it gets the Spirits’ blessing.”

“Hm? It looks like a common lottery…”

“Shhh! Itsuki-san, don’t say the true thing!”

To, Touma-kun, your voice is strong…!

“If the Spirit watches you, you will surely successfully go to the auditions.”

“Yes, surely.”

Well, Ritsu-kun summarized it sweetly, so should we choose Yuri-san’s method?

Tatsuhiko-san, what do you think?

“That’s right. Well, with Yuri’s lottery…”

“ “ “ “ “ “ Shhh!” ” ” ” ” ” ”

~~~Wait a moment please~~~

“I…”

“Ah, I drew it!”

The people who drew it are Tatsuhiko-san, Itsuki-san, and…!

“Shorty, you really have good luck…”

Ahaha… I drew it…!

Thus! There will be three people who will help in the new members’ auditions!

I think we can report to everyone what kind of members will we meet, and the episodes, etc.!

For the next part, please, look forwards working with Gekidan Altair!

It was Ichigaya Rintarou! See you later!

[Summary]

At Gekidan Altair’s new members audition, an existing member will also participate as an interviewer. However, they have to choose the interviewer between a lot of people. But then, to decide of an interviewer, they will go to a conference...

[Story]

A-a. ….Ahem.

Ah, it seems that it comes out properly. Fine.

Err. Today, I, Ichigaya Rintarou, will give a total report of one members’ ordinary day.

I’ll do my best to give a fun exchange with my fellow members!

Thus, a certain day of a certain month. Tsukino’s dormitory. At Tatsuhiko’s request, every Algeki members gathered in the community room. The subject of discussion is about “the selection of the interviewer for the new members’ auditions”.

“There was a call from the Auditions’ Department. It seems that they want us to decide of who between us will be the interviewer for the new members’ auditions.”

“Yeees! Tatsuhiko-san, I have a questiooon!”

Yes, Touma-kun has raised his hand till his head. Do it.

“How many people? Then, can I do a self-recommendation?”

“They didn’t ask for a specific number of people. And there’s not self-recommendation and recommendation. I think that any of our choice is fine.”

“Fiiine!”

Touma-kun, you’re full of motivation, right.

Err… Maki-san. Do you remember what were the details of the auditions during our time?

“That’s right. Wasn’t it… One or two from a speciality division?”

Surely, it was… such a feeling.

As I was panicking during the auditions, I have vague memory of it… Haha.

“That’s right, Ritsu, weren’t you helping during the auditions?”

“Yes. I did small chores.”

“I was working, that day.”

That’s true. During the three selections, Ritsu-kun was helping the progress. Is it possible that in Izumo’s and Ritsu’s case, it passed by the office?

“Say, Tatsu. It seems I’ll be the interviewer. That’s really aweso-”

“Tatsuhiko-san! Me too, me too!”

“You’re too careless.”

Ah, err… Sakuya-san, take the micro.

“You’ll feel like in a festival, or be indiscreet. Do you understand that their lives may change in these auditions?”

“Sakuya, you’re too serious!”

Ah, Yousuke-san! Give me back the micro, please!

“You’re wrong, you’re wrong!  Watching an audition while being objective isn’t easy, it asks a lot of work!”

“...What. For Yousuke, the motivation is seriousness, right.”

“That’s right. I’m also surprised now.”

“That’s mean! Hijiri and Mikado, you’re mean!!”

“We- well.”

Ah, Itsuki-san. Thank you for just giving the micro back! What do you think about the auditions?

“I’m interested too. The interviewer will watch everything during the auditions, and, it seems it can become an information from the other point of view.”

“There are a lot of members who entered Algeki through transfers and scouts but, in this business world, auditions can’t be avoided.”

Surely, that’s right!

As expected from Itsuki-san and Mikado-san, they respect the way we face a conscientious work.

“Eeh! Rin, and me!?”

Then, Yousuke-san! Don’t take the micro!

“I want to see the auditions too. ....Hm? Are you interested too, Tomte-san?”

“Don’t talk while looking at an empty place!”

E, err…

(This, the usual guy who must not meddle much...)

“That’s wrong, Izumo. Tomte-san is sat he-”

“Stop! Don’t say more!!”

“Huh? Izumo-san, are you still afraid of Tomte-san?”

“I’m not afraid! By the way, Touma, don’t pull your face!”

“I’m not doing such a thing!”

“W-Wait, you two! Stop! It’s forbidden to create a strained atmosphere!”

“”Yousuke (-san), shut up!””

“This exchange is gradually becoming a beautiful pattern.”

Mikado-san, if you can, could you stop the two of them...

“Hey, Rin. If you look at it from the start, it can look like a special edition of us enjoying the cool of the summer’s evening. Is it okay to take a picture?”

“By the way, isn’t it a problem if we’re not talking about the interviewer’s selection for a minute?”

“In the first place, I’m not your friend.”

“That’s right. If it does anything, it would be better to make some good friends and take pictures with them.”

Then, Maki-san and Hijiri-san, in such a time, don’t confront each other, and have sympathy for me, and stop those two, please--!

Gekidan Altair: In Study Meeting

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the late update, but here comes Gekidan Altair’s 8th short story! I hope you’ll enjoy it :3

[Summary]

They are doing a study meeting in Rintarou’s room. The participating members are Maki, who has the teacher’s role, and Sakuya and Touma, invited by Rintarou. Gazing at his three innocent juniors, Maki is thinking about himself and these last days.

[Story]

“Rin, I’m coming.”

When he knocked at the door, he heard a voice coming from the room saying “Ah, it’s Maki. Enter.”. So, he opened the door without reserve.

“What is it. Touma and Sakuya also came?”

“Sorry for the bother!”

“Touma with Sakuya, in general, is unusual.”

“If I’m a bother, I’m leaving.

“Wait!” Rintarou stopped Sakuya who was half on his feet.

“I called them! I told them “Until now, I’ve been helped studying by Maki, what do you think to do it together?” Ritsu also wanted to, but work is just piling up.”

“Aah… By the way, are you in the same year?”

“They are! Hey, is it okay if we’re doing it together, Maki-senpai?”

　Touma tilted his head a little with a friendly smile.

It wasn’t a question in the first place, and with this smile, he pushed any negative answer  away.

(Touma is skilled to behave like a cute child. I understand why the girls often cheer for him.)

He heard that Touma has been scouted personally by the representative of Tsukipro, the President Tsukino Mikoto. Having that special skill of “seeing through at a glance”, it was a great story. “Hey, Maki. Is it alright?”

“No problem. But my method of teaching isn’t very good.”

“That’s not true. When you taught me for my test, it was really easy to understand for me. After that, you wrote a collection of memo with the main points! It really helped me.”

Because Rintarou was about to thank him for the memo he wrote, he gently stopped him.

“I already had them. I got it last year by someone who wrote it for me, I thought it was good.”

“Eh… But-”

“It’s fine.”

“Rin, I also want to do a copy of that! Right, Sakuya?”

“........”

“Repeating the same class is unattractive. Let’s do our best together?”

“Hey. Don’t make people look like idiots.” “Sakuya, you’re good in English, right. I’m a little bad at it, so please, teach me.”

When Rintarou stepped in, the severe Sakuya’s eyes slightly softened.

“Talking about that, you’re good in maths.”

“If we teach our good point, we’ll progress. Such a tactic!” (Rin is really skilled to step in.)

He was good at calming down people, and was effective with tact. It was probably so he had the ambition of a manager, but as a talent, interpersonal skills were important.

(Rin mistook the auditions meeting place and entered, and there, was selected through that.)

Doing that… As expected, it’s great.

(I heard that Sakuya also moved from the Musical Department under the orders’ of the President.)

He overheard that Sakuya seemed to have troubles with the band members. There are surely things that are hard to please. Well, at least, he’s not bad with Gekidan Altair members. He had been omitted at the first selection, and when he stood on the stage with Sargas’ members, his singing and his presence, as one would have expected, were good. “Wah. Maki, you really have a good head, right.”

Touma’s admirative voice suddenly raised.

“It’s really easy to understand. Great.” “Right! He really helped me a lot”

“You, you hurry up to go to your school that is far away, you’re busy with Rigel’s activities, and on top of that, you study… When do you do that?”

Sakuya said, turning completely his eyes to look at him.

“In the train, or during the rest time. If you have the motivation, you can use your time.”

“What, you’re so serious?” “Originally, I…”

He didn’t have intention to become an idol, and he studied steadily.

“? What’s happening? You got silent quickly. Is there something you don’t want to talk about?”

Touma blinks in wonder. Maki shook his head.

“...No, nothing.”

He said and stopped. His older sister gave his application to Tsukipro’s auditions. He couldn’t do something if it wasn’t put in front of him. The beginning was just that.

(But… I chose to come here.)

He could affirm that everyone has a meaning to chose things..

(That’s why, I surely have too.)

He respects the members. That’s why he honestly believes in his own value.

“Ah, by the way, did you hear it from Tatsuhiko? The story about the new members entering Algeki.” “I heard it, I heard it!”

“We’ll become a bigger family… Annoying.” “Eh. We’ll become their senior. Aren’t you happy? Besides, absolutely interesting people will enter our group! Right, Maki?”

He nodded to Touma who was laughing.

“Yes, that’s right.” 　Attractive people would come. He had absolutely no doubt about that.
