“Welcome back, Yukito kun.”
“Welcome back.”
“Welcome back ! Arf !”
“Is this….heaven?
“I’m home. You three look good together.”
When I returned home after picking up my belongings and other things from home, I found myself in a paradise.
The three of them were there wearing pajamas that resembled animals.
Kusunoki is a rabbit, Kasumi chan is a cat, and Tsumiki chan is a puppy.
Yes, that’s right. They were wearing the costumes from the music video.
“Kifune san. I would like the song to be played at my funeral to be a [Suh] medley. I would be happy if you could ask the monk to read the lyrics instead of the sutra.”
“I don’t want to be a part of it. The monk will have to say things like, [ want to look at you and only you ! I want only you to look at me !]”
………Indeed. That’s going to seriously piss off the monk a little bit.
If that’s the case, I’ll have to pick a song….if it’s a cool one, I wonder if he’ll read it.
“Yukito kun. I don’t want you to say that, even in jest.”
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, I’ll cut my stomach.”
“You have a tremendous Yamato spirit……”
“Arf arf !”
I mean, Tsumiki chan has been barking since a while ago. Eh? Do you need money?
“Speaking of which, why are all three of you dressed like that?”
“This outfit is quite comfortable. But I can’t go outside in it. I was using them as pajamas.”
“I just happened to have this outfit at Nanami’s house.”
“Arf !”
I see. Also, Tsumiki chan, I want you to be careful. She’s so cute, I think I’m gonna fall over.
Oh, Kasumi chan is stroking Tsumiki han’s head. Oh, it’s melting, I’m melting. My heart is gonna melt.
“We had fun in the bath, didn’t we !Ah, arf !”
“Hmm, it was the first time we took a bath together.”
“I’ve always felt lonely because the bathtub is big, but it was fun with you two.”
–tsusgsutys.
“—Kifune san.”
“Don’t pass out.”
“I’m afraid I’ve already….”
Wait, wait. I can’t get my brain organized at all.
Three idols and a bath…..? It’s a good thing we’re close friends. Will I die from it?
“Well, it’s getting late, so why don’t you go take a bath too, Yukito kun?”
“I un…….don’t understand.”
“It’s my first time. I saw the moment when the answer shifted from ‘I understand’ to ‘I don’t understand’.”
Well, after all, bath is kinda. …..Just now
The bath that [Suh] was in.
I wanna wait a little bit.
Is that safe? No, it would be a no. No matter how anyone looks at it, it’s a no.
“Heh? So you don’t take baths then?”
“Ugh, guh, ah……! That’s, that’s no good…..if I continue to stay in this filthy body, I will evaporate and disappear.”
But is it okay?
Can I enter?
“……Ah, by the way, I forgot my shampoo and body soap.”
“Fufu, you can use that.”
“Would I smell like my favorite idol…..? I’m not gonna be executed for being disrespectful, am I?”
But I can’t stay dirty all the time in front of Kusunoki and her friends.
Right. I don’t have to soak in the bathtub.
“Oh, yes, that’s right. There are bath salts in the bathtub, so please take your time.”
“I’m about one foot off the edge of the cliff.”
I was running out of places to escape. What should I do?
Kifune san was smiling happily. I knew she looked like the manager when I saw her like this.
“………I’m gonna go for now.”
“Yeah, take your time.”
◆◆◆
The bath was very nice. I don’t mean that in a weird way.
I’ve never used bath salts before, but I feel like I’ve gotten rid of a lot of my fatigue.
From then on, it became a live show viewing with [Suh]. Why? I thought, but I told them because it’s not every day that I get a chance to tell them how great they are.
I’ve already said that to the point where they were completely taken aback by it…I should have, but Kusunoki and the other two were extremely happy. After all, it seems like they’re happy when someone notices small things.
Time passed–it was after eleven o’clock.
We moved to Kusunoki’s bedroom. Kusunoki said she felt more comfortable here, and she could go to sleep as soon as she felt sleepy.
Of course, Kasumi chan, Tsumiki chanand Kifune san were there, and we talked about many things.
What parts of the job were difficult, and what parts were enjoyable? That kind of backstory. It’s a very precious story.
And then, when the time was about to cross the day.
“—Kusunoki.”
“……? What’s wrong?”
I called her name. ……I’m so nervous.
I’m fine. I’ve got permission from them, and I’ve got permission from Kifune san.
I told myself that and took one deep breath in between.
“There is one thing I want you to see.”
I took out my laptop from my bag and opened it. At the same time, the clock in Kusunoki’s room struck midnight.
“You wanna show me something?”
“Yeah. …. Happy birthday, Kusunoki. No, Nanami chan.”
I opened a website and showed it to Nanami chan.
“—What is this?”
“I made this site with the help of volunteers.”
It is called ‘[Sunlight Hope] Kusunoki Nanami chan’s birthday special site (official and unofficial).
At first, I thought about using a more elaborate name, but I decided to use this name because it is easier to understand at a glance.
Nanami chan stares at the screen. I handed her the laptop so she could look at it freely.
“Is this…..a fan site?”
“Yes, it is. There are a few people in the fan club who can make it. It is a site especially for those who have recently fallen in love with [Sunlight Hope] and Nanami chan. Everyone is showing Nanami chan’s strong points and songs that they can recommend.”
I asked old fans as well as new fans who have recently started to guess, and compiled a list of their favorite parts.
“Of course I got permission from [Sunlight hope] to make this site. There’s no affiliate marketing, but…it seems like the staff at the agency will take care of the server fees. So, you see, it’s written as official and unofficial.”
“…..When did this happen?.”
“We’ve talked about this for a while. We’re keeping it a secret from Nanami chan and the others.”
Hmm. I discussed this with the people at the office via DM. I don’t know if the other person is Kifune san though.
“Is this by Yukito kun?”
“…Ah. No, um. It was planned by [Pyonpyon] san.”
“That person…..so, it was.”
Nanami chan stares at the site on the touchpad. I briefly explained it while looking at it.
“It’s just for beginners, so I don’t put too much ego out there. It’s a good way to tone down the heat of POP.”
“…It’s amazing. The design is also elaborate.”
“Some of your fans are designers by trade.
It almost feels like it was made by me. I was acting as the organizer.
…I’m not good at this kind of thing, but I was overwhelmed by the voices saying, [Pyonpyon san is the only one who can organize things.]
Nanami chan’s hand and eyes suddenly stopped. –Oh, over there.
Nanami chan is taking a break right now. No word yet on when she’ll be back.
On top of that, today…yesterday, there was an announcement about [Sies], and there was a wording that was added in at short notice.
[November 15th is Nanami chan’s birthday ! Let’s all share what we like about Nanami chan at the #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration !]
It was planned in a hurry, but I wonder how it turned out.
“…..I’m sorry. I’ll check it out.”
“Yeah. Let’s see.”
I have a scheduled post, but I wonder if it’s working properly.
With that thought in mind, I opened social media and ended up smiling bitterly.
[As long as I’m alive, Nanami chan will always be my favorite. I will continue to support her it even in the next life #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration]
My tweets were spreading at an unbelievable rate.
As I scrolled down the screen, more and more warm words poured out.
[I’ve been a huge fan since I went to see her live performance as a chaperone for a friend ! #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[I’m always cheered up by her cheerful attitude. I love her. #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration,]
[I wish Nanami chan’s happiness from the bottom of my heart. #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[I love you. I’m able to live now because you are alive. #Nanami chan’s Birthday celebration.]
[I hope that you, who work harder than anyone else, are resting well now. #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[Thanks to Nanami chan, I was able to talk to my daughter again. Thank you very much. #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[I’m tired from work, but when I hear Nanami chan’s singing voice, it cheers me up. It makes me want to do my best tomorrow #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[I love you ! ! ! ! ! ! #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
[I was interested in POP when it was viral, and from there I was swamped with it. I hope you will be smiling somewhere tomorrow. #Nanami chan’s birthday celebration.]
Still more and more–the posts are still increasing at an unbelievable rate.
“……”
“Good for you, Nanami chan.”
“So warm !”
The two of them hugged Nanami chan and she was spilling tears. However, the way she cried was very different from the way I saw her cry that evening.
“This is the birthday present from us–the fans.”
“……Oh, Yukito kun is…..really……geez.”
They pulled away from Nanami chan and she stood up.
And now it was my turn to be hugged.
“…Thank you. Yukito kun did this for me, right?”
“……Well, what do you think?”
“I remember. The first time Yukito kun saw me crying…”
…Did you remember? Well, I remember it too. It wouldn’t be strange if Nanami chan also remembered it.
–I’ll keep saying [I love you] to Kusunoki Nanami a hundred times louder than the antis.
–……Eh?
–I’ll keep saying it a hundred times louder than the anti’s, until I don’t see any anti’s at all. Support–it might be a little daunting. I’ll tell you how many times I love you, every day. Until the unpleasant voice no longer bothers you.
This is what I came up with from what I said at the time.
I’ve done it every year, but this year I wanted to be able to say [I love you] to Nanami chan in a more grand way.
“I have to confess, it was my idea.}
I “knew it. …….Thank you, really. ….Thank you.”
I was hugged tightly.
There really was no adjustment whatsoever. It warmed my heart to think that he was that happy.
“…I’ll definitely be back soon. Please wait.”
“Yeah, I’ll be waiting.”
–And so, I sent Nanami chan a birthday present.
Well. Now I have to give Kusunoki a birthday present from me.
……It’s a bit hard to give it to her after this. I think I got the order wrong.
