Brilliant Star Air Force - Chapter 8

[bakemonoremy]

Location: Handicrafts Club Room

Mika: Now I get it~. So that’s why you were starin’ at my face like that.

But y’know. I don’t think it’s the drone that everyone was so happy about?

Sora: What do you mean?

Mika: Umm, well I do think that usin’ a drone for deliveries is a rare sight, which makes it interestin’?

I mean, I also thought the drone was super cool when I first saw it ♪

But that’s not what’s important. What really matters is the deliverin’ of stuff, right?

‘Cause you see, I was really so happy that you helped me carry that package all the way here, Sora-kun ♪

Sora: ………..

Mika: Umm, do you get what I’m tryin’ to say?

Sora: ...Yes. Just now, Sora finally understood.

Everyone was so impressed by the drone, and praised it. That’s why Sora misunderstood them, and thought that they were just happy to see the drone.

But what they were really happy about wasn’t the drone. In reality, they were glad to receive their orders.

After all, they said “thank you” to Sora when they received their packages.

Hearing “thank you” from them made Sora so happy.

And the reason why Sora got to hear those words that made him happy, was because he delivered packages to them… Because he delivered “Happiness” to them.

Being a deliveryman means delivering “Happiness” to people!

Mika: Yeah, I’m sure of it...♪

Sora: Mika-chan-san, thank you very much!

Mika: Ehehe, I don’t think I did anythin’, though. But you’re welcome ♪

Anyway, let’s finish our tea ♪ I’ve got seconds, if ya want~.

Sora: HaHa~♪ This tea is really sooo delicious...☆

(Shisho~, Senpai… Sora has finally realized it.)

(Being a deliveryman means delivering “Happiness”, that’s why that game’s main character does it with all his might.)

(And that’s why Sora can finally do his very best to become that main character.)

(It’s because being a deliveryman and being an idol is the same~♪)

(Both deliver “Happiness” to people, and fill the world with beautiful “colors”! HaHiHuHeHo~!)

Location: Game Research Club Room

Natsume: (FuFU. I was worried about hIM, so I followed Sora with the drone and secretly watched over him through the cameRA… But it’s all okay nOW.)

(I knew that Sora would be able to find the answer by himseLF. I’m sure his job will go over well like thIS.)

...Now thEN, I guess it’s about time to fly the drone baCK.

It won’t do me any good to keep peeping at thEM, and if Shu-niisAN, who doesn’t know about any of thIS, were to show uP, he’s gonna be surprised and I’ll be in troubLE...♪

Location: Secret Room

- Another day -

Sora: HaHa~♪ Shisho~, Senpai, hello! When you enter a room, you greet the people inside! You called for Sora?

Tsumugi: Ah, we’ve been waiting for you~♪ Look, I made prints of the photos from when you were doing that campaign boy job the other day.

I was deeply moved to see how much you resembled that game’s main character, Sora-kun ♪ You can take as many of the photos home as you’d like, as a commemoration.

Sora: Yaaay, thank you very much ♪

Natsume: ………..

Sora: Hmm~? Shisho~, why are you staring so intently at your phone? Your “color” is all gloomy, too~?

Tsumugi: Ah, that’s right. There’s another reason why we called you here, Sora-kun. In fact, you could say this is the main reason, actually ♪

You see, after the campaign that you performed in took place, the game got super popular. Which is why they decided to add some new characters to it.

Sora: HiHi~♪ Really? Sora is so happy to hear that~♪

Tsumugi: Fufu, and because of that, they also decided to hold another campaign. And this time, they sent a request for all of Switch to perform in it ♪

Sora: HuHu~, that’s amazing! Does that mean Senpai and Shisho~ are going to be the new characters?

Tsumugi: Yes, exactly. I’ll be playing a character who wears glasses, and Natsume-kun got the role of a cute, red-haired girl.

He’s going to become Natsume-chan~.

Natsume: ……….. (Wordlessly punches Tsumugi’s stomach)

Tsumugi: Ow!? W-why did you punch me?

Rather, if you punch me with the hand that’s gripping your phone, your screen could break! Also, it hurts more than usual~!?

Natsume: HmPH, that’s what you get for spreading falsehooDS.

Tsumugi: Huh? Did I say something wrong?

Natsume: HeY, SoRA. Sorry I didn’t return your greeting soonER.

Sora: HeHe~, it’s okay, Sora didn’t mind! More importantly, are you okay, Shisho~? But then again, the gloomy “color” from earlier disappeared already~♪

Natsume: YeAH, that’s because the response to an inquiry I sent to that game company just came in on my phoNE.

They told me that the role I’ll be playing won’t be that red-haired giRL, but her twin brothER. Which means the request they sent for a female character was a mistaKE.

Tsumugi: Aww, so that’s why you’ve been all quiet for a while, Natsume-kun. You didn’t need to confirm that so soon, though.

Natsume: ……….. (Wordlessly kicks Tsumugi’s stomach)

Tsumugi: Gyaah!? Don’t you know that it hurts to get punched and kicked!?

Wait, could it be that the new character they added is the violent type, and you’re just getting into character already…?

Natsume: Shut uP. If you say another woRD, I’ll stuff you in a cardboard bOX, lift you high into the sky and drop you from aboVE, SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Don’t you think the weight of a person is a bit too much for a drone to lift?

Sora: (HoHo~♪ Shisho~ and Senpai get along great as always~.)

(Lively “colors” are so beautiful! They’re “colors” you can’t produce by yourself! Sora loves these “colors”~.)

(Sora is sure we’ll be having lots of fun as a delivery service again soon ♪ Just that thought is enough to get Sora all excited~...♪)
