In the end, tweets about POP were spread to 300,000 people, and the number of impressions exceeded 200 million.
The access from overseas was especially crazy, and the overall number of replays of [Suh’s] music video increased by hundreds of thousands, and in some cases, millions of views.
Yeah, it’s crazy. It’s much more than I expected.
It seems that Kifune san was the same way, and she was about to receive an amount of money that she can’t say publicly.
Although I was offered the money, I somehow managed to refuse through the manager. Taxes are a pain in the ass. Even if I got the money in the end, I would have to give it back to [Suh].
However, even with the POP incident, the daily routine remains the same. I still tell Kusunoki that I love her every day, and I go to her house on weekends and holidays.
[Suh] also announced a new song. Kasumi chan and Tsumiki chan are working on a new song together.
The new song by the two of them almost caused various opinions….but the official reported, [When Kusunoki Nanami comes back, we are planning to release new songs with various combinations.] The management is very good and helpful.
And–roughly a month and a half has passed since Kusunoki transferred to my school.
When it was the middle of October, I noticed something.
“……There’s only one month left.”
“What?”
“November 15th is Kusunoki Nanami’s birthday.”
“Hmm? Oh, by the way, I was nervous around this time last year too. Even though it was exam season.”
“I’d rather celebrate the birthday than take an entrance exam.”
“……You actually went to this high school, so I won’t say anything.”
Even so, I still study.
As good as it is. Kusunoki Nanami’s birthday is getting closer…….which means that it’s about time for an official announcement regarding presents to be made.
[Suh] generally don’t accept gifts. Not only homemade sweets, but also stuffed animals and other things. The reason, of course, is that there might be some kind of foreign object.
However, birthdays are different. Only on that day, it can be accepted specially. Although there is a very strict check by the management.
Stuffed toys are looked at from the inside and checked for cameras, listening devices, and other dangerous items. …It seems like there aren’t that many stuffed animal presents.
Still, homemade food, opened snacks, food and sweets from private stores and food stores are not delivered. It seems that there’s a probability that the store owner and the sender know each other, and they are taking into account the possibility of mixing things up inside.
The staff had a rule to take the first bite and once they found it at that time.
Since then, they no longer accept food except from famous restaurants that have multiple locations across the country or those designated by the [Suh] office.
“This year we’re classmates, so we can give them all kinds of things, right?”
“Don’t be silly. That would be a nuisance.”
“No, it wouldn’t, though.”
“glpup.”
“You make a lot of variations on that squeak.”
Before I knew it, my favorite idol was behind me…I thought it was about time for me to get a sense of her.
“Hey there, you two.”
“Hey there, Kusunoki chan. I just heard from this guy that your birthday is next month.”
“Fufu, I see. …..I’m sorry about this year. I’m not active this time of the year, and I can’t believe I’m being celebrated.”
“I’m still gonna buy Kusunoki a birthday cake and spend it in my room, posting pictures on social media.”
“You’re gonna have diabetis.”
Even if Kusunoki retires, I will still celebrate. I won’t put it into words, though, because it’s not a good omen.
“Thanks. What kind of gift did Yukito kun give me last year?”
“…..Erm. It’s the kind that Kusunoki would like.”
“Then I guess it would be sweets.”
“Don’t reveal it more than that ! Last year, Kusunoki thanked me through dms and letters !”
Kusunoki properly sent me a message on social media and a letter to express her gratitude. She is an extremely serious girl who responds to fan letters. I love her. Marry me.
“I see. Well, I’m looking forward to receiving it by hand this year.”
“…..Kusunoki. Do you know how much internal organs can be sold for?”
“What are you gonna give me as a present?”
I was just joking. Kusunoki would be sad if I did that.
“I’ll make sure you get something in return. When is Yukito kun’s birthday?
“……I don’t know if I have a birthday.”
“There must be. It’s January 15th, isn’t it?”
I was planning on letting it slide, but it got messed up. Oh, wait. I would die if my favorite idol gave me a present. I’m losing my soul.
“It’s exactly two months after my birthday.”
“No, um, I’m gonna ascend to heaven just for the words alone.”
“I’ll think about it a lot. I
“I’ll think about it. You’re gonna look forward to your birthday, aren’t you?”
“Um, hey.”
Kusunoki left with just that.
“I guess you guys have become friends, haven’t you?”
“It’s not just me, I mean everyone. After more than a month, I’m sure they’ll all become friends.”
While saying that, I checked the calendar on my smartphone.
……November 15, Saturday, huh? I’ve already thought of a gift for her as a fan, but I don’t know what to do.
“Why don’t you do that–“
“More importantly, Kaname. Please give me advice. What do you think I should give Kusunoki as a present?”
I couldn’t cover it up, so I forced myself to change the subject. I know it will look a little suspicious, but I’m just gonna ignore it. It’s better than being found out.
“You know Kusunoki chan better than I do, don’t you? Didn’t she says on the radio that she wanted something?”
“I know what kind of detergent, body soap, and shampoo she uses.”
“Stop saying that, it’s disgusting. I’m sure consumables are safe, but aren’t there any others? Something that seems to have an impact.”
Something else…..that would have an impact, huh?
“The one that Kusunoki wants and that has an impact…….she doesn’t show much desire for things to begin with.”.
“Well, I guess we’ll just have to find out.
“All right, I’ll leave it to you, Kaname.”
“You do it. Even if I did it, it would just be found out anyway, so there’s no point in doing it.”
Hmm… I guess the sense of surprise is important after all.
The time passed quickly as I continued to consult with Kaname about what to do.
◆◆◆
“……I have one question for the manager.”
“What’s the matter with you? Is it your secret to beauty?”
“I’m not interested.”
This person is trying to derail the conversation right away.
“…I’m thinking of giving my friend a birthday present.”
“Kushime chan !?”
“The way you bite is on the same level as a carp waiting to be fed. ……Though it is so.”
The fact that she is biting well means that she seems to be easy to consult with. The manager knows Kusunoki, even though she says this.
“What do girls like to receive?”
“Money is the only thing that would make anyone happy.”
“You don’t seem to have any dreams or hopes.”
“I’m just joking.”
The manager laughs and smiles. I think I’ll secretly expand the [Suh] corner.
But there will be no money. I don’t think there is that much trouble to begin with. I’m sure it’ll be a turn off.
“A safe bet would be cakes and sweets from famous shops. I don’t think there are many girls who don’t like sweets, but how about Kushime chan?”
“She likes it.”
I remember that she was also happy to receive sweets type gifts.
But still, a cake…..a present is not a bad idea, because she can’t have anything raw.
“Ah, and how about asking her out on a date?”
“Rejected.”
“No?”
“…..I guess so.”
I’m afraid of being found out. No, I don’t think I’ll be found out. If something were to happen, it would be a big deal.
I can’t help but think about going outside sometimes…but no, no, no. It’s too absurd to have a date with my favorite idol.
“…I’ll just think about it for a little while.”
“Yeah, yeah, that would be a good idea. Student dates can only happen while you’re still a student.”
“Have you ever had a date with someone?”
“Kanna kun, I’ll have to cut your salary in half.”
“That’s too tyrannical.”
I asked various questions while having the usual exchange.
One month to go. I’ll have to think about it.
