Amusement Live - Chapter 12

Location: Amusement Park (Attractions)

- The day of the “Live Party” -

Hinata & Yuuta: He~y, Anzu-san!

Yuuta: Today is finally the long-awaited “Live Party”!

...Hm? What’s the matter, why are you looking at me and Aniki like you’re comparing us?

Yes, I’m Aoi Yuuta~. Ahaha, so you couldn’t tell who was who because we greeted you at the same time.

Usually I’d tell you to differentiate us by our headphones’ colors, but this time please tell us apart by the colors of our outfits ♪

Hinata: Wawah, please don’t pull on my ears~! I keep cats at home, so I know. If you pull them by their ears, they really hate that.

Depending on the situation they might even scratch you, so be careful!

That said, now I understand why Anzu-san asked us what our favorite animals were~.

Yuuta-kun, how do I look? Am I a cutie?*

Yuuta: Yeah, yeah…

Eh, Anzu-san? You think we look totally cute? If it’s about the cat ears, I’m sure they’d suit you just as well, Anzu-san~?

Huh, why are you slowly edging away from me?

It’s fine~, I won’t do anything you don’t like ♪

Mitsuru: Dash, dash~

...Uwah!?

Sorry, I ran into you at full speed!

Hm? Big sis Anzu? No worries, I didn’t get hurt!

Ah, Yuu-chan and Hinata-chan are here, too. Hello~☆

Hinata & Yuuta: Hello~☆

Nazuna: Huff huff, haa… Mitsuwu-chin, down’t run ahyead of me, okay~? You gotta myatch my pace!

Tomoya: Nii~chan, you’re fumbling your words.

Nazuna: Shaddup.

...Oh, so the outfits for 2wink have a cat theme~. Yep yep, they’re cute ♪

Yuuta: Thank you very much~. Of course, Ra*bits’ outfits gotta have a bunny theme, they’re also very cute ♪

Mitsuru: Nii~chan, Nii~chan, our outfits have the same color as Yuu-chan’s. So why are Hajime-chan and Tomo-chan’s outfits the same color as Hinata-chan’s?

Nazuna: Because they’re our team colors. Did you already forget that we agreed to split into teams for this performance, Mitsuru-chin~?

Mitsuru: Ah, I see. Nyahaha, that completely slipped my mind~☆

Tori (offscreen): Migyaaaaah!? 

Hajime: Hau? D-did you just hear something like a scream?

Tomoya: I did… But look, isn’t it that thing?

Hajime: A rollercoaster, huh. The first time I rode one I also let out a loud voice and got really embarrassed…

I really didn’t expect it to go up and down that hard, you see.

Tomoya: See, and I think that scream was just like that. Screaming your lungs out on rollercoasters is just part of the fun.

Hajime: I-I see. I’m glad that it was nothing to worry about then ♪

Tori: It’s scary, too scary, let me off already~! Sniff, sob… What grudge do you hold against me, long hair~!

Wataru: I don’t hold a grudge~. I always treat you with nothing but love.

We finally came to the amusement park like you always wanted, so let’s enjoy ourselves together ♪

Look, we slowly ascended to the top. It’s a nosedive from here! Let’s scream “Kyaah kyaah” together~♪

Tori: I don’t have the time for this! Papa, Mama~! Yuzuru, Anzu~! Anyone will do, just save me~!

Hii!? Stop it, don’t fall! No, no, nooooo!

Hajime: Umm, that’s Himemiya-kun and… Hibiki-senpai? I wonder if they came to the amusement park to play around?

Nazuna: I see. So that’s the outcome of trying to see things from Momo-chin’s perspective~?

He~y, Wataru-chin! If you have the time, come and watch our show, will you?

Wataru: Oh my? Himegimi, the Little Rabbit-san and his friends are over there~. Let’s wave to them, yes?

Tori: ………..

Wataru: Whoops, I guess he fainted. Let’s go on one of the attractions Himegimi wants to ride next~.

Fufufu, let’s play around as much as time will allow us...☆

Little Rabbit-san, we’ll definitely come to watch your show, so please do your best~♪

Mitsuru: I’m so jealous, I want to play with everyone too!

Nazuna: You already did that when we came here to check the venue, right~? Well, the live starts at night so it’s not like we don’t have the time for it.

But we need to greet our co-stars and there’s a briefing session scheduled beforehand, too. Time’s going to fly by until the live starts.

Mitsuru: Uu~... Last time Nii~chan couldn’t play with us, and we didn’t get to play with Yuu-chan and Hinata-chan either.

That’s exactly why I want to ride a lot of attractions with everyone this time~.

Yuuta: Hm…? Mitsuru-kun, did Aniki come to the amusement park as well?

Hinata: Um, well, I just happened to get tickets to the amusement park from Anzu-san~? I definitely didn’t come here to see Yuuta-kun, okay?

Mitsuru: Eh, but didn’t you say you came to watch Yuu-chan do his best?

Yuuta: What’s the meaning of this? I told you to leave it to me this time, didn’t I. And yet you still came to watch me in secret?

Hinata: U-uuu~... I’m sorry, Yuuta-kun, but I promise I had no bad intentions. I only came here because I was worried about my cute little brother, so please don’t be mad~?

Yuuta: Geez, stop treating me like a little kid like that.

I’m up to the task… And I’ll prove it to you at the live show ♪

Amusement Live - Epilogue 1

Location: Amusement Park (Attractions), Night

Yuuta: “♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪”

Hinata: “♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪”

Yuuta: (Kuuh, we’re struggling for supremacy…)

(Just when I thought I had everyone’s attention, Aniki snatched it away with his performance, and since then we’ve been trying to steal the center of attention back and forth.)

(It’s frustrating, but it’s due to us being twins. Just like I know what movements Aniki is going to make next, he can predict my movements as well.)

(And so, no matter how much time passes, there’s no outcome to this battle. If anything, we’re just getting more and more heated.)

(Aah geez, it pisses me off! And yet… I can’t help myself, I’m enjoying this just as much.)

Mitsuru: “♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪”

Tomoya: “♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪”

Mitsuru: Ahaha! Live shows are really so much fun~♪ Here I go, handstand~!

Tomoya: You’re really strong during the real thing… Meanwhile my legs are shaking from nervousness because there’s so many people watching.

Mitsuru: Why? It just makes me happy~! During our usual lives we can only gather about half or so of this audience, so…

Ehem, guess we became celebrities before we knew it ♪

Tomoya: No, they’re all here to see the idol dancing on center stage I think.

Uwah, those cheers were amazingly loud… Hmm? But I thought that around this area the only dancers were us and the other idols who are here in order to liven things up?

Mitsuru: Ah, it’s Hinata-chan and Yuu-chan! They’re doing a handstand, spinning their legs round and round, and then doing backflips on one hand!

Tomoya: What’s with that… Those are the kinds of risky stunts only they can pull off because their physical abilities are so high.

Mitsuru: Eh? I can do that too, yanno?

Tomoya: Aah right, since you’re Mitsuru. I definitely couldn’t do it. I can tell that if I tried it I’d just fail and get hurt.

Whoops, our dancing is becoming careless because we’re chatting… We should focus, too.

The “Blue Team” may be superior right now, but we’re still in the opening stages, alright?

Oh, this is my favorite song! Alright, I’ll gather my strength and go~♪

Hinata: Yuuta-kun, Yuuta-kun.

Yuuta: What is it? Or rather, don’t talk to me during the performance~.You’re distracting me.

Hinata: ...Are you still mad about earlier? About how I checked up on you in secret, Yuuta-kun.

I don’t know if you’ll believe me when I say this, but I didn’t do that because I didn’t believe that you could do it on your own.

Yuuta-kun is my pride and joy, so I always believed that you’d definitely succeed.

But within those feelings, worries about whether or not you’d overdo it were mixed in as well… 

Because I’m your Onii-chan, of course I’ll get worried when my little brother tells me “It’s fine! Leave it to me!”.

And also, I simply wanted to watch my little brother do his best from up close…

Yuuta-kun, you did really well even though it was your first time. There, there ♪

Yuuta: Didn’t I tell you not to treat me like a kid~? Well whatever, I guess I managed to prove to you that I’m up to the task as well.

...Aniki, wanna walk around the amusement park together once the live show is over?

Hinata: Y-yeah! I wanna go on a date with Yuuta-kun!

“Everyo~ne! We are the two-in-one twin idols, 2wink!”

“I am the older brother, Aoi Hinata!”

Yuuta: “And I’m the younger brother, Aoi Yuuta!”

Hinata: “We’ll show you a performance so moving it will outshine the illumination that decorates this amusement park~♪”

Yuuta: “If you like what you see, please applaud! Also, we’d be really happy if you remembered our names ♪”

Hinata & Yuuta: “♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪”

Hinata: Yahoo, this is so much fun~! Alright, somersault~♪

Yuuta-kun, gimme five! Ya~y ☆

Yuuta: Yeah, yeah… Anyway, because of Aniki luring me in we ended up performing just as always. Kuuh, so frustrating!

Hinata: Isn’t that fine? I was happy I got to sing and dance with Yuuta-kun like always. Don’t you feel the same, Yuuta-kun..?

Yuuta: Don’t look so down. Everyone’s looking at us.

And I do think we should use a synchronized performance since this is a chance to show off our appeal as 2wink.

Yuuta: This isn’t the time for me to complain that I don’t wanna do a presentation that suits twins. We are twins, so we have to put that strength to good use.

Singing and dancing, and showing off our fun with all we have! Just like the attractions in this amusement park.

No, we’ll show them even more excitement than those do~♪
