Sunshower Festa - Chapter 1

[bakemonoremy]

Location: 1-A Classroom

Yuuta: Hmm, well, I was looking for Aniki because I wanted to talk to him about work, and couldn’t find him… If Harukawa-kun and I split up, we might be able to find Aniki.

Sora: HiHi~, did Hina-chan get lost? The school grounds are huge, so people get lost a lot~.

Yuuta: No, I don’t think he’s gotten lost. By the way, what kind of business do you have with Aniki, Harukawa-kun?

Sora: You see~, Sora was thinking of giving Hina-chan some sweets that Sora made ♪

HuHu~, Sora always receives sweets from Hina-chan! That’s why Sora was thinking of returning the favor ♪

They didn’t turn out as good as the sweets Hina-chan makes~. But they’re full of love...♪

Yuuta: I see, I’m sure Aniki will be delighted.

Sora: He’ll be delighted? HeHe~, in that case, Sora’s happy ♪

Hinata: Hmhmhmm~m...♪

Owah, Yuuta-kun and Sora-kun? Did I enter the wrong classroom by mistake? But there’s a bunch of people from class A in here…?

Yuuta: Ah! Aniki, where were you?

Hinata: I just went to the school store to buy some sweets, that’s all~.

Look, look, I bought heaps! The people from the school store said they’re all close to the best-by date so they gave me a discount ♪

Sora: Sniff sniff, they smell sweet! And they smell salty too~ Hmm? And some of them smell spicy?

Hinata: Just as expected from Sora-kun, you could tell? These sweets are made with habaneros and they’ve become cheaper lately, so I bought some for Yuuta-kun.

Nishishi, I’m such a considerate Onii-chan ☆

Yuuta: There you go buying so much stuff again… Even if you come crying to me about how you ran out of pocket money, I’m not lending you any, okay?

Whatever. I have something important to talk to you about, Aniki, so listen seriously.

Hinata: Eh!? Something important you say, don’t tell me you want to disband 2wink...?

I’m sorry, Yuuta-kun! I swear I won’t do stupid things and annoy you anymore! So please, don’t abandon me~*.... *fake sobbing*

Yuuta: Spare me the theatrics… I want to talk to you about work.

Hinata: Work? Yuuta-kun, you’ve been talking about nothing else lately. Just the other day you told me “If you have nothing to do, find us a job already”, too...?

Yuuta: There’s an offer for “Sunshower Festa” on the school SNS, they’re taking applications for artists to perform.

...Look, right here. The synopsis and application requirements for the event are written there, see?

Sora: HoHo~, “Sunshower Festa”, is it? If possible, please tell Sora about it too ♪

Yuuta: Oops, I’m sorry. We were only talking amongst each other and leaving Harukawa-kun out of the conversation.

“Sunshower Festa” is a job outside the school, and they’re looking for artists to participate.

Sora: Umm, is “Sunshower Festa” a live show?

There’s lots of people at parades~. It’s suffocating, but Sora likes how lively it is ♪ Sora wants to participate, too~. Sora wants to do a live!

Yuuta: Hrm~m, it seems to be a little bit different from a regular live? Instead of entertaining people with your song and dance, it’s more about performing whilst walking down the streets.

Sora: HaHa~, even just a performance sounds fun! Sora wants to use magic to make everyone smile~. Smiles have the color of happiness ♪

Yuuta: Ahaha, making everyone smile with your magic… is it?

“Sunshower Festa” seems to match up well with your goals, Harukawa-kun, so it might be an event that suits Switch?

Hinata: Muu. Don’t just talk between each other happily, let me join in too~. It’s no good to leave someone out ☆

Sora: HiHi~, Sora agrees with Hina-chan~. Let’s all get along together ♪

Hinata: Yep yep, wanna form an alliance of best friends? Taking the first syllable from our three names, it’ll be called the “HiYuSo Alliance”~ ♪

Yuuta: I can’t tell what on earth that alliance is for, Aniki.

“Sunshower Festa” will have two sets of units participating in it, so it might be reassuring to have Switch with us.

...Well, there’s no guarantee 2wink is going to pass in the first place.

Hinata: Stop that, stop it! If you say such timid things before we even took the audition, our motivation’s just gonna drop, you know~? We gotta go in with the mindset that we can pass anything ♪

Yuuta: ...You’re right.

Anzu-san specially introduced us to a job that suits us well, so if we fail the audition, she’ll be disappointed, too.

Hinata: Anzu-san? Did Anzu-san introduce you to this job?

Yuuta: Rather than introducing me to it… She told me there’s a work offer for it.

In any case, if Aniki has no objections to it, can I apply to the audition?

Hinata: Yeah. If we take that job, we’ll already have something planned for after the “S2”! We won’t have any free time, but it’s nice to increase our activities~ ♪

Whoops, I guess if we don’t pass the audition we won’t actually have a job, ahahaha ☆

Yuuta: Geez, take this seriously. The “S2” is pretty soon, so we can’t afford to drag our feet right now.

It’s because we as 2wink are still pretty unknown that we need to do a lot of jobs, so that’s why I’m stuffing our schedule chock full.

Hinata: I know, I know. Your Onii-chan will rack his brain about that, so Yuuta-kun should just enjoy your high school life without reserve... ♪

Sora: Hina-chan.

Hinata: Hm? What’s up, Sora-kun?

Sora: HuHu~, Sora wants to give Hina-chan these sweets as a present~. It’s a thank-you gift for the sweets Hina-chan always gives to Sora  ♪

Sora’s gonna go now~. If Sora goes to the Game Club, Shisho~ or Senpai might be there?

HeHe~, Sora’s gonna ask if Switch can participate in the “Sunshower Festa” as well  ♪

Hinata: I see, I see. I hope it goes well, Sora-kun. And thanks for the sweets. I’ll make sure to enjoy them~ ♪

Sora: HoHo~, you’re welcome! If the sweets Sora made make Hina-chan happy, Sora is happy too ♪
