EPISODE 1/8

Ten minutes later at the COSPRO building in ES

Mika: Sorry,  for coming to work in so late—

Ibara: Congratulations Mr.Kagehira! 

Hinata and Yuuta: Congrats~!

Mika: Huh, ‘Congrats’.....!?

Don’t just say congratulations to me all of a sudden, it’s still scary rememberin’ this mornin’s nightmare….

Or rather everyone’s planned a party and about to pull some crackers…?

Yuuta: Haha, what kind of nightmare did you have for ‘congratulations’ to be so traumatic?

This is a celebration for Kagehira-senpai who’s about to travel into space!

Hinata: I never expected Kagehira-senpai to go to space, it must feel like a brand new experience, physically and mentally♪ 

Mika: Space!? There isn’t a rocket here somewhere, right…!?

Rinne: Oi, oi! You still sleepy? Want one more cracker for an alarm?

Niki and Merumeru couldn’t come because of work, I'm gonna celebrate for both of them. Gyahaha ♪ 

Nagisa: …..I’m going to celebrate for Hiyori-kun, so it doesn’t get lonely. 

Mika: …..

…..Oh, that’s right. I’m still dreaming.

Jun: Huh? What do you mean by dream, Kagehira-san?

Mika: Hehe, so this is a dream.

Come pinch my cheek, Jun-kun

Jun: ….. (Pinches Mika’s cheek)

Mika: Ah, that hurts!? Even though this is a dream there’s still pain!

Jun: Have you come to your senses yet? If it hurts, it must mean this isn’t a dream~

Mika; No, I can’t accept this…

Yuuta: Man, I thought it was a lie when I heard about it too, some funny joke. 

Mika: Oh~ I get it now! This is a trending joke♪ 

Ibara: …..Are you still dreaming Mr.Kagehira? This is not a dream, nor a lie, nor a surprise, it’s all true. 

Mika: Then….. the dream I had came true?

Rinne: Oh? What kind of dream did Mii-tan have? 

Judging from your reaction, by any chance you haven’t seen the news?

Mika: News…..?

Oshi-san is prohibited from viewin’ or commentin’ anythin’ on the internet browsers I can’t see it either cuz my settings are set as the same.

Hinata: Eh!? So you really had no idea up until now?

Yuuta: Yesterday, an article titled “The first idol in history is heading up into the stars!” it was all about Kagehira-senpai going to space!

Kohaku: ‘Mika Kagehira of Valkyrie, enters space!?’ ‘The first idol who rings his voice across the universe!’ and many more, wanna see them?

Mika; ….Really!? There’s articles, what does this mean!?

No, I can’t believe this. It’s all a hoax!

If Vice President-san can do it, then it means it’s cheap right!? (referring to Ibara)

Ibara: Yes, of course

However, these articles were commissioned by COSPRO

Mika: COSPRO…? So the one in charge of these articles is you, Vice President-san!?

Why, why is such a thing happenin’…Why has it gotten so big? Oshi-san can’t have allowed it!

Ibara: Oh? Mr.Kagehira you say the strangest things!

It was Mr.Itsuki who proposed the idea that Mr.Kagehira should be sent to space!

Mika: Huh…..?

N-No, way! Why would Oshi-san say such a thing!

Ibara: That’s not for me to decide, however it was Mr.Itsuki who suggested the idea.

In fact, Mr.Itsuki’s grandfather also heard of the plan and decided to invest in it!

Mika: Grandfather…?

Ibara: But, the cost of space travel still isn’t cheap for even Mr.Itsuki’s family’s wealth.

So, I heard about it and co-operated with them! ♪ 

I made the utmost use of my connections and persuaded sponsors to advertise Valkyrie alot more to create more funds.

I had a difficult time raising enough money to ensure a safe trip into space. I only negotiated with suitable groups to assemble it in time—

Then yesterday, finally. Mr.Kagehira’s space trip was announced publicly♪ 

Mika: What…! Why would you proceed without my consent!

It’s strange, that I the person who’s goin’ had no idea about any of it!

Ibara: Even if you complain, I only raised money in response of Mr.Itsuki’s requests and promoted this project all the way.

If you have any complaints, let Mr.Itsuki know.

Mika: This plan..? Oshi-san really asked Vice President-san to do this?

Ibara: Y’know, if it’s a project idea he came up with, wouldn’t it be obvious to have Mr.Kagehira as his star?

Mika: ….Urgh, that’s true..

If it’s true then this really was started by Oshi-san..

Nnngh~! Why! Why Oshi-san did you plan somethin’ but not even show up!?

Jun: Kagehira-san, calm down.

Mika: I'm sorry Jun-kun, I just can’t control myself in a situation like this!

It’s because of this big deal, I can’t calm down.

My point is– It’s crazy to go through all this without even askin’ me about it~!

I’m sorry to everyone who gathered here to celebrate, but I need to ask Oshi-san about this!

What idiot just runs through the news without permission…! 

Well then, excuse me!

Kohaku: Uh…have a nice trip?

Yuuta: This is the first time I have seen Kagehira-senpai so angry

Rinne: Heh, well I’ve heard that people who are usually gentle should’nt be messed with when angry.

Jun: …..Ibara, I need to ask you something.

Ibara: Yeess?

Jun: We also didn’t tell Kagehira-senpai about the trip, aren’t we also guilty? 

I should have talked to him about it but you asked us to keep quiet. 

Ibara: Yes! Receiving funding from Mr.Itsuki’s grandfather isn’t an easy thing to do. 

It’s a once in a while project, you won’t get this opportunity again

You can’t let Mr.Kagehira say no, okay? This is going to be fun, Ahahaha ★

Jun: I don't know if I’ll get backstabbed one day too~

Ibara: Not to mention but, I have a request for Jun and His Excellency to do ♪ 

Jun: Yes? Something we need to do?

shu funds for mika to head into space without his consent AND even got his grandfather to help 💔💔

EPILOGUE

A Few Days After Mika returned from his Space Travel 

Discussion room in COSPRO

Jun: —So, what on Earth are you talking about Itsuki-senpai?

Shu: Nothing, just a suggestion.

The MV designed for our space trip, I want to see whether we can remake it from scratch. 

Nagisa: …..That’s a sudden request, did you not like something? 

Shu: I was the one who produced the MV, do you think I’d release a MV with scenes I don’t like?

Jun: …Hm, could it be that Itsuki-senpai wants to remake the MV with Kagehira?

Shu: Thats right, after Kagehira returned from the space trip, I was faced with this idea. 

As for me, I want to remake this piece until I am satisfied.

And, it will be difficult due to obtain several kinds of permission from people since it was produced with COSPROs budget

Nagisa: …..That’s correct. I think it would be difficult to convince Ibara due to the budget. 

Shu: However, I’m not satisfied with how Kagehira is, his state right now is strange

Since, coming back and being in the same room with Kagehira, he mutters things that doesnt make sense

Jun: That's right, it’s true he was a bit strange when he walked past each other in the dormitory, yea?

Nagisa: …..[I can fly anywhere], [I don’t want to go back] as well as muttering something like [the glowing of the stars]

Jun: And the rest being [It’s a miracle to be here] or something like that~?

I thought he went into space and came back in shock…

Shu: Maybe Kagehira was replaced by an alien from a foreign planet when he went into space…..?

When he said [I dont want to go back] maybe he meant his home planet, isn’t it a statement an alien would make…..?

Jun: No, no, that’s too crazy?! It’s impossible, Hey, Nagi-senpai

Nagisa: …..The existence of aliens can’t be confirmed nor denied, indeed when he went to space there could've been a replacement. It’s not surprising. 

Jun: Oh no, I asked the wrong person

Anyway, calm down Itsuki-senpai. There’s no way Kagehira-san is an alien.

If Kagehira-san is an alien I still don’t see why you want to remake the MV…..

Shu: Hmm, that’s certainly true, but why on earth is Kagehira…..

Mika: —I’ve found it Oshi-san, i’ve been lookin’ for it for awhile

Shu: Gyouu!? Kagehira came out of his room?

Mika: There’s somethin’ I really wanna show my Oshi-san today

I’m not letting my Oshi-san go anywhere without seein’ it, so be prepared, kay?

Jun: (What’s this strange feeling I’m getting from Kagehira-san, I can’t help but feel scared)

(Is this what Itsuki-senpai meant? It’s true if you stand next to Kagehira-san he feels off and suspicious)

Nagisa: …..Mika-kun, what do you want to show Shu-kun?

Mika: Hello Jun-kun and Ran-senpai ♪

It’s true that I told Oshi-san I wanted a new MV when the space project ended

The MV Oshi-san made is also very good, but I want to create work that shows what I saw and felt

So, that’s why I wanted to make a new MV and costumes for Oshi-san to see

Shu: Hm? Not only a MV production but costumes too?

Jun: Have you stayed in your room ever since you came back?

Mika: Yeah! I think I’ve finally understood what is meant by ‘an explosion of art’

The blue of the Earth right in front of me, and the dark surrounding me everywhere. I was so shocked it felt like a meteorite landed on my head.

Nagisa: …..Fufu, how interesting. The scenery seen by Mika-kun in space, I wonder if it left a crater in his heart

Mika: Hnn~! If you put those words like that, somethin’ will happen! I can’t convey beauty like that into words!

Anyways, I couldn’t help but make somethin’! I loved this alot, right!

Shu: Hm.. (I’m trying to see through the image here.)

Nagisa: ….Mika-kun has conveyed his enthusiasm.

…..However, in this situation we have already produced the MV, it will be difficult to create another MV due to our current budget.

Mika: If I can’t get money from COSPRO, then I’m gonna save up some and make it with my own money

Both this story and costume, I wanted to tell everyone about the beauty I saw and how the universe shocked me, I was in a rush

If this end’s without me showin’ what I saw, I don’t think there was any point in takin’ me 

So, no matter what, I want to do this MV…..! 

Shu: Fufu, I know how much you want this, in that case let’s begin the MV production right away!

Mika: Huh…? Whaddya mean, Oshi-san?

Shu: I checked through it and it’s okay to proceed from my point of view.

At the very least, your story makes me want to complete this work

Mika: Really? I’m so happy to hear Oshi-san say that!

Shu: ……I was curious, from these pictures alone it’s not something we’ve had previously, Kagehira. 

Mika: Yeah, I knew Oshi-san would notice it

I got to work with alot of people in this space project

Everyone did lots of research and work for me, it made me so happy…

That’s why with everyone, im puttin’ in effort for this production and the costumes, I want it to be good

Shu: I see, is that what you wanted? This space travel has been a good influence on you.

…I always thought others intervening isn’t a good idea for artists

The existence of other than oneself, interfere with the colors and art 

I thought true art could only be achieved by the sensibility that rests in one’s self and the aesthetic of the heart by working on it. 

However, when I created the song, the knowledge Kagehira has and it’s influence on you

Kagehira was also inspired by the exchange of space travel

Mika: Yes! If it weren’t for everyones work together I wouldn’t have made it! 

Shu: I guess from now on, it would be a nice idea to incorporate other people’s ideas in order to create pieces. 

After all, this world is so wonderful I can’t explain all of it and it’s unknowns. 

Some day there will be a world opened by dropping a color that didn’t belong in this world and resonate with it. 

Jun: Ah~ They’re both in their own world again~

Nagisa: …..This is how it feels to be Valkyrie

Jun: It seems like a conversation about the MV between the two of them is good, isn’t it?

Besides it’s okay to consult with one another about the bad things, if they propose the idea it might get accepted quickly

Nagisa: …..Yeah if they need help to persuade Ibara, we can help out. 

Mika: Really? How helpful, thank you Jun-kun and Ran-senpai

If it’s okay, let’s go propose it to the Vice President right away, my space travel project isn’t over yet~!

Only when emotion overflows in your heart, will it firm its shape as an artist…..♪

On Ibara, Hiyori and the Buisness world of Enstars

Smth smth hiyoiba is a push and pull relationship of who will drop their guard down first. Hiyori is usually first to do so, because of the way Ibara grew up he won’t drop it unless its a completely private space.

I would say that Ibara knows that Hiyori puts up an act. I’m pretty sure its canon that Hiyori was communicating with Eden during Getto Spectacle, and especially towards Eden and upper management. They’re aware of it, but its hard to be vulnerable with these two.

They trust each other. They’re aware of the power they do hold. (Though I’m not sure if the child soldier thing was told to Hiyori in canon) At least in the business world, I’m guessing. Hiyori still has connections, and Ibara has the power to turn his creative ideas into reality.

I really do want an exploration of the buisness side of Enstars. We do have canon corporations, but technically its a competitive monopoly. Eden climax has already brought us a set up, and bringing us to an understanding of how being an idolized person in a competitive market makes you lose yourself and greed talking to make those actions take place.

Their first interactions are about Hiyori’s judge of character and the inner workings of CosPro. (Saga Release 6) Because that is what they know about each other at that moment.

ES is operated mostly by Tenshouin related companies, making their name more widespread. Hiyori comments about this in his Idol Story 2. This is making (his family’s) the Tomoe Foundation’s name lessen. HappyEle, please tell me where the Tomoe’s put their money in. Because its definitely not the entertainment industry.

Anyway, by Hiyori’s actions I suspect that the rest of the Tomoe’s are overworkers~! ⭐️ So while his parent’s respect his decision of going to the entertainment industry, they probably dont understand why he got there in the first place~! ⭐️ That’s why Hiyori is so against Ibara working so much~! ⭐️

WHITE SWAN JUN

[raelyn-dreams]

I find it really funny that in-universe, everyone rags on Valkyrie for having the expensive stage sets when Alkaloid and Knights got whole-ass castles for Vermilion and Little Romance.

Edit: Vermillion's castle is technologically produced, though I believe Knight's real. Even so, I think every unit drives up the budget with their productions to some extent (Falling Love It's Wonderland, Sweet 2wink Love Letter, etc), though Valk is def most guilty haha 😂
