Recently, the idol group [Century Sisters] has been rapidly gaining popularity to the extent that they often compete with Kagami for the No. 1 position on the Oricon charts.
Although Katsuki Momo, the leader of the group, and I had exchanged daily emails, this would be the first time we would meet in person since we exchanged contact information.
Kagamiya’s steps were light as he headed toward the station where he was to meet Momo.
“(Meeting up with a beautiful girl after school by email, that sounds like a normies thing !)”
Even if it wasn’t, Momo and I get along well.
Especially with Kagamiya, who is in a unique position as a popular musician among high school students, there is no one else he can talk to about music on an equal footing and with mutual respect.
Ping♪
A text message arrives, and Kagamiya looks at his cell phone.
[It’s me, Momo chan. I’m behind you right now.]
“Oh, hey, Kagamin. Did you wait?”
“No, I just came. ……Or rather, I’m scared ! Your message scared me !”
“Ehehe. Surprised?”
Kagamiya, who was already feeling happy and full of joy at the thought that this exchange was already very [normie] couldn’t help but smile at Momo’s mischievous surprise.
Momo, on the other hand, was also somewhat buoyant because she doesn’t usually have the opportunity to meet up with a boy and do something together.
So Kagamiya had forgotten all about it.
“Ah……(Oh, shit. I’m totally in my usual shitty, dorky style right now.)”
Dirty uniform, shaggy hair, deep dark circles.
Kagamiya is not a fashion-conscious person to begin with, and the reason he looks so handsome when he is performing is largely due to the help of his coordinator and makeup. Or rather, almost everything.
Momo, on the other hand, is equally dangerous.
Today Momo is also in off mode. Her face is clean and she is wearing a modest school uniform. Her hair is straight, just the way she usually wears it in her sleep.
[ [(Is he/she disillusioned?)] ]
Both of them were worried and filled with inward anxiety, but they only thought of each other’s normal appearance as [lucky to see each other off-duty.]
“Ahaha. I’m sorry, okay? I’m an idol, but I’m usually this plain girl. You’re disillusioned, aren’t you?”
“No way. Look at me now. I’m a total creep. In contrast, Momo is cute and pretty in off-duty.”
“T-that’s not true ! Kagamin is good-looking as usual !”
The reason why Kagamiya is a creepy guy in everyday life is not only because of his dowdy fashion, but also because he spends most of his time alone without talking to anyone.
No matter how ugly you are, if you talk cheerfully, you’ll look that way.
Kagamiya is not a bad-looking guy, but if he talks cheerfully, it is not hard to see him like that.
“…W-well. That doesn’t compare to Momo’s current beauty, though?”
“No, that’s not true. Kagamin’s is better.”
After a round of compliments from the person they were aware of, they got into a shouting match until it got out of hand, and then remembered that they had met up in front of the station to make a collaboration song.
“Speaking of which, where will we make the collaboration song?”
“Sorry about that ! It seems like the studio I had booked to use today suddenly had some equipment trouble…”
“That’s……”
It was nothing but bad luck. But Kagami and Momo are the type of people who can’t compose music without touching their instruments and equipment.
If they had an instrument that could at least produce an accurate melody, they would be able to make it.
“B-but ! Um…my house has at least the facilities to be able to compose music, but…I supposed you don’t want to.”
“I want to see it ! …No, I don’t mind if it doesn’t bother you, but Momo is making music for the End of the Century Sisters at home, right? I’d like to see it if I can, but…I don’t think it’s a good idea after all.”
“No, it’s not a no-no ! If that’s the case, I’d like to see Kagamin’s environment for composing music.”
“It’s fine, I’m still composing songs with just a keyboard and a computer’s composing software, so I don’t think it’s a good enough facility, do you?”
The End of the Century Sisters are billed as [idols] but they are more of an eccentric girl band. Hence, they also use guitars, bass and drums.
To begin with, Kagamiya’s environment is meant to be for one person, so Momo’s house might be more appropriate this time.
Both parties decided so,
“Well, let’s go to Kagamin’s house next time !”
“Y-you’re coming !?”
“Are you annoyed?”
“No, I’m glad you’re coming.”
I’m happy, but it’s a girl of my age. I’m very conscious of that too, and the girl I recently became an email friend of is coming to my house…….
It was like that just yesterday when Nadeshiko san, who is like an older sister to me, came over.
If Momo came, wouldn’t my heart stop? I thought.
“Really? Then, let’s go.”
Kagamiya followed Momo.
Kagamiya noticed and was a bit nervous. But Momo doesn’t notice.
They walk through the city together and head to Momo’s house.
And on the way, Momo also realized.
“(I-I’m Inviting Kagamin to my house. Oh no, what should I do? I’ve never invited a boy to my house before……)”
We just wrote a song together. Maybe I’m the only one who is this doggedly aware.
But on one hand, he is a musician who is popular especially among girls. On the other, an idol. If she gets romantically involved with him, it will be picked up by the weekly magazines and they will be in trouble. I have to restrain myself.
But it’s disgusting that I’m the only one who is aware of it.
Such feelings sprouted in both Kagamiya and Momo at about the same time.
Kagamiya pretended not to be aware of it and jokingly asked her about it.
“I was wondering if it’s all right for you to invite me over to your house, Momo? Wouldn’t the weekly newspapers report about it?”
“I’m fine. I’m an idol, but the End of the Century Sisters aren’t prohibited from dating. For example, there is no problem if Kagamin and I go out together.”
Blood rushes to my face.
Kagamiya intended to use a light jab, but before he knew it, Momo’s counter punch knocked him out.
Oh no. What, what’s with this girl, does she possibly have a thing for me?
That’s the level of shock I was feeling.
On the other hand, Momo said
Ah, why did I say such an embarrassing thing !? Why !? I’m an idiot ! I’m so embarrassed by my own overly thoughtful lines.
Both fighters were knocked out. However, Momo won by decision.
