[There has been a new POP design by a store that has recently become a popular topic of conversation. They just recently finished it and showed it to me, so I’ll show it to everyone.]
[By the way, one of the part-timers found all of these. We were very surprised. They’re going to put them in the store from today, so y’all should take a look. The place is–]
That’s what Kasumi chan tweeted. Hmmm. It’s divided up, concise and easy to understand. She also made sure to tell them what she was asking for.
And there was a picture attached to the tweet. It’s a picture of the POP I wrote.
[Seriously, I’ve never seen anything like it before.]
[ “[Sad news] I’ve been supporting Suh since the beginning, and I didn’t even notice all of them.]
[Eh, if this is true, isn’t it too made up?]
[No, I’m sure it’s official.]
[No, I think the staff at that POP store is serious.]
[It doesn’t look like he was forced to write it.]
There were a variety of reactions in the comments section, but most of them were positive. Sometimes there are responses like, [This must be someone from the inside] but I’ll take that as a compliment.
“…..Awesome.”
“I’m still a veteran after all.”
Some of them even paste the URLs of the songs. This should help the playback numbers. That’s a big help.
“I guess I’ve done my job.”
“More than I expected, I guess. It’s still growing. It seems to be reaching people overseas.”
“It’s written like there are crazy fans in Japan.”
I can’t deny that at all. Not in a negative way, but in an enthusiastic way or something like that.
“I think I’ll leave it at that. I think Kusunoki should leave it at this too.”
“Ah, yeah. I think so.”
I feel that the positive comments are being pushed to the top, but the bottom is troubling.
It’s not good for her mental health, so I thought I’d close it….and then. Kusunoki’s phone rang.
“Ah, Manager san is calling.”
“Think of me as a wall. I want to be a wall if you want.”
“I’m not sure I understand.”
I want to be a wall, a ceiling, or a houseplant.
Kusunoki laughed at my words and picked up the phone.
“Hello, Manager san. ……Yes, it’s great, isn’t it? The way it’s spreading.”
Sounds like a POP contact. I’m a little embarrassed, so I’ll watch the TL.
Oh, Tsumiki chan is reacting too. [I’m so impressed ! There’s so much information I didn’t even know !] she tweeted cheerfully. It’s so heartwarming.
I wonder if [Sies] and others are responding to this.
……No, it looks a little bad for my taste to look into this. I’d better not.
“Yukito kun? I’m sitting next to him right now, did you wanna talk to him?”
Hmm? The flow has changed. Me?
With my eyes, I nodded to Kusunoki who asked, [Should I?]. Then, a smartphone was handed to me.
“Yes, this is Kanna.”
[Yukito kun? I heard you saw it too. It’s gonna be great.]
“It was. I’m glad to see that everyone has noticed how great [Suh] is.”
My initial goal was achieved. If it spreads like this, it will be seen by newcomers to some extent.
It would be great if they became interested in the song and listened to it. Even if they don’t, they will be able to find it on video sites when they see recommendations.
Welcome to the swamp of [Suh] !
[Thank you once again, Yukito kun. Thanks to you, things related to Nanami chan will probably be resolved.”
“No, no, no, you don’t have to…..eh? What did you just say?”
There were some words that I couldn’t miss.
Eh? Things related to Kusunoki?
[I can’t go into detail, but to put it simply, it looks like we’ll be able to identify the people who leaked it. Don’t tell Nanami chan about this.]
“….Okay. Cute”
Kusunoki was tilting her head as if to say what we were talking about, and my inner voice leaked out involuntarily.
[And…if something happens, I want you to support her. It’s something only you can do.]
“….I’ll do anything. For the sake of my favorite idol.”
[Ah, and one more thing, it’s not Kasumi chan and Tsumiki chan. I can tell you this, so don’t worry.]
I’m so relieved, yes. I’m glad.
Hm? But if the two of them aren’t involved—
“–Wouldn’t it be better to tell her?”
[……That may be so. Yukito kun, tell her later.]
“It would be better if Kifune san told her……well, okay.”
Maybe Kifune san has a clue who the culprit is. She probably didn’t want Kusunoki to notice or give her any unnecessary imagination.
[Well, that’s all I have to say. Thank you, Yukito kun.]
“I’d like to say thank you…but I’ll accept it. Shall I give it back to Kusunoki?”
[No, it’s fine.]
I looked at Kusunoki, but she also shook her head.
“I understand. I’ll see you again sometime.”
[Yeah, see you soon.]
So I hung up the phone and gave the phone back to Kusunoki.
“What did Manager san say?”
“She’s thanking me for the POP. ….She also said there was one more thing.”
Kusunoki stares at me. She’s calm now, but…no, if I don’t tell her, she’ll be even more anxious.
“I’d like you to calm down and listen to me. When I’m done, I’m gonna say my 1000 favorite things about Kusunoki.”
“……Okay.”
Kusunoki took a deep breath, perhaps sensing what was being said. After a few times, the flicker disappears from her eyes.
“The matter of the leak of Kusunoki’s e-mail address–it seems that it was not Kasumi chan and Tsumiki chan.”
Kusunoki’s eyes widened. There is a slight pause, as if she took some time to swallow my words.
“–Really?”
It was a small voice. But there was no way I could ignore Kusunoki’s voice.
“Yeah. I’m sure that’s what Kifune san said.”
“…I see. It wasn’t the two of them.”
Ah, she let out a breath. It must be a relief.
“….It wasn’t the two of them.”
Eventually, a thin film forms over her eyes. She closed her eyes, but…..it didn’t stop.
“Kusunoki. Um, if that’s the case, I’ll stay away from you.”
“…No. I want you to stay by my side.”
Kusunoki said that to me. I myself was relieved by those words.
I wanted to be by her side if possible.
“…I’m sorry. Can I vent just a little bit?”
“Of course. I’ll listen to what you say. I won’t tell anyone.”
Kusunoki squeezed her own clothes.
“I have one more favor to ask you….is that okay?”
“Anything I can do.”
After saying this, Kusunoki leaned closer to me. And then–
“…..May I borrow your chest for a moment?”
“………………………”
……That’s how it came to be.
Of course I don’t hate it or anything like that. On the contrary, I only feel happy that someone is relying on me.
I can only feel happy. If that happens to me, I wonder if there will be some sort of explosion.
No, now is not the time to say that.
“Of course it’s fine.”
“Thanks, Yukito kun.”
Then Kusunoki came close to me and leaned on my chest.
