Location: Sunshower Stage

Natsume: SenpAI, SoRA. It’s our tuRN.

We practiced plenTY. There’s no need to feel timID, we’ll just do it as we rehearsED.

SoRA, you may just be a first yeAR, but your skill is the real thiNG. You have the same brilliance as those two DO.

NoW, go aheAD. The kids of 2wink are waiting for yOU. It’s fiNE, we’ll be following close behiND…

Go and turn your imagination into realiTY, SoRA.

Sora: Yes! Sora will go! Shisho~, Senpai, Sora’s going on ahead~ ♪

Tsumugi: Sora-kun ran off while jumping up and down.

It must be because he was really looking forward to co-starring with those kids, that we’ve been blessed with these clear skies.

One’s habitual behaviour is important. Sora-kun is a good child, so he received a reward from God...♪

Natsume: Stop acting like a dreaming maiden and get ready for your performanCE, SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Ahaha, understood~.

First, Sora-kun is going to show his performance where he moves from one umbrella that’s hanging in the sky to another, then it’s our turn to perform, right ♪

Natsume: That’s rigHT. He’s going to match up with 2wink’s acrobatiCS, so timing is everythiNG.

NoW, that’s enough for the chattER. Who knows if someone might overhear our conversatiON, and I don’t want to miss out on Sora’s efforTS. Let’s GO, SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Yes. I’ll accompany you to the ends of the earth, Natsume-kun ♪

Sora: ~....♪

(It’s so amazingly colorful~♪ Red, blue, yellow, purple… The sky is decorated in umbrellas in all kinds of colors~ HaHiHuHeHo~...☆)

(Whoops, Sora should focus! Sora was too captivated by the umbrellas~, how dangerous, Sora almost crashed into the ground!)

(The umbrellas are amazing, but so is everyone’s enthusiasm~)

(It’s not an angry color~, rather the color of excitement? Everyone’s having fun, so Sora is having fun as well ♪)

Natsume: (HmM. Now’s a good time for Sora to cut across that buildiNG.)

Kids of 2wiNK… Are you reaDY?

Hinata: We’re rea~dy. Alright, we’ll quickly get into position. Let’s go, Yuuta-kun.

Yuuta: Yeah. Excuse u~s.

Tsumugi: (Alright, everything is proceeding without problems. Time for me to carry out my job, too.)

“Everyone, sorry to interrupt while you’re enjoying yourself. I am Aoba Tsumugi of Switch.”

“The child who’s been swinging from the umbrellas in the sky is Harukawa Sora-kun, and our leader is Sakasaki Natsume-kun ♪”

“Let’s leave our self-introductions at that. Everyone, please turn your attention over here.”

“2wink’s new performance is about to start~!”

Hinata: “Just like that, I’ll place my palm on the grip of the umbrella and~ handstand! If you thought that was amazing, give me some applause…”

“Er, thanks for the thunderous applause~!”

Yuuta: “Now look over here~♪ A handstand while balancing balls on the underside of my feet~, and I’ll add in an umbrella too~!”

(Aniki, we’re getting a lot of attention.)

Hinata: (Even the clerks from the food stalls are closing up shop to come and watch. That shows just how much they’re enjoying themselves, I’m so glad~)

(Let’s turn them even more into captives of our artistic skill, Yuuta-kun...☆)

Natsume: (Relying on the two of them paid oFF. Everything’s going off without a hitCH. NoW, the time has come to grant the audience unequalled dreams and wishES.)

(FufuFU, everyone is struck with admiratiON.)

(At this poiNT, they won’t find it strange even if we pull off phenomenons that surpass human knowledGE.)

(And it’s not by my power aloNE, it’s thanks to Sora and SenpAI… And thanks to the kids of 2wiNK, toO.)

Natsume: “Just like the sun peeking through the rift between clouDS, there’s surely a beam of light wrapping around all of yOU.”

“The magic won’t end heRE. Even once the curtains cloSE, it’ll remain in your hearTS. For as long as you have a heart that believes in “magic”, forevermore...♪”

Location: Sunshower Stage

Chiaki: Fuhahahaha! Want a balloon? Don’t worry, I won’t take your money, it’s free!

That said, little children take precedence, so I’d like for the adults to hold back on taking them!

Hmm? Over there, is that the transfer student?

Yep yep, it is. To run into you here, what an unexpected meeting… Well, not really.

Today is the day of the “Sunshower Festa”. You’re here as a producer for that, right?

I see, I see. You’re working hard even on your day off ☆

I’m working part-time. They were recruiting people for part-time work and other stuff besides performing for “Sunshower Festa”.

So I applied and got in, and so here I am walking around and handing out balloons.

2wink and Switch are performing in the “Sunshower Festa”, right. It looks like it’s gonna turn into a real large-scale event, so go ahead and support them all you can.

Whoops, I shouldn’t chat with you while in the middle of a part-time job. I’ll return to my work, and you go do your best. Farewell, until we meet again...☆

Akiomi: Anzu-san.

I was looking for you, please don’t wander around. As you can see it is crowded here, so just looking for a single person gives me a hard time.

While it’s not like I don’t understand your feelings of wanting to take a peek at the food carts, this is work. Leave the playing around for when your job is over.

Well, the staff prepared by the client are working hard… So even though I said all that, it’s not like there’s any work for you to do.

The best you can do now is pray for the “Sunshower Festa” to be a success.

I wouldn’t have minded leaving it all to you. However, it’s a rule that a teacher has to accompany you for jobs outside of the school, so I’ve come to keep an eye on the situation.

...The units appearing in the “Sunshower Festa” are 2wink and Switch, weren’t they?

Looks like those kids are also using the time until their performance to have fun looking around the food stalls.

You may be a producer, but you’re still a student too. It’d be unfair to make you waste your precious youth with nothing but work. 

You have your smartphone with you, right? Very well, I’ll contact you later. Until then, feel free to wander around the venue.

What is the matter? Go, before I change my mind.

Rather than spending time with a middle-aged man like me, being with others your age would make you feel more at ease, right?

Well then, excuse me.

Nazuna: ~...♪

Munch munch, munch munch. Kaoru-chin, want some too? These jelly beans are super delicious~♪

Kaoru: I do like sweets, but eating food another guy gave me is kind of… If a girl said “Open wii~de”, I’d open my mouth like a baby bird, though ♪

Nazuna: Uu~, if you’d prefer a girl, why are you hanging out with me? As long as you’re with me, you can’t do your specialty, that is, hit on girls, Kaoru-chin?

Kaoru: Rather than hanging out with you, our destination just happened to be the same, Nazuna-kun. And I won’t hit on anyone when the girl I’ve got my eyes on is around. 

...Whoops.

Speak of the devil, huh. Anzu-chan, hey there~☆ I heard Anzu-chan would be here, so I came running. You alone?

I see, I see, so you were with Kunugi-sensei until a moment ago, but he said you’re free to do as you like now.

In that case, how about a date with me. No?

Ahaha, how cold~. If being alone with me puts you on guard, how about having Nazuna-kun tag along, too?

Nazuna-kun is small so he’s not intimidating, so you should be at ease if we have him along as an observer ♪

Nazuna: Good grief, don’t use me as a pretext, Kaoru-chin~?

Nh? You want to know what I’m doing here? Mitsuru-chin’s friend is performing in the “Sunshower Festa”, so I came to watch him.

Mitsuru-chin had some other business to attend to today and couldn’t come, so I’m here to cheer in his place ♪

Kaoru: You see~ I came here because I heard Anzu-chan would come. 

If only we had passed the audition, I wouldn’t have had to make up a reason to come here.

But well, it’s probably for the best that we didn’t pass. The event is being held under the assumption of rain, and yet it’s such a sunny day.

If UNDEAD had passed, Sakuma-san alone might have had to withdraw.

Look, no matter how many umbrellas they put up over the street, the sunlight shining through the gaps between them would be enough to whittle away at his stamina.

And I’d like to avoid having to look after a guy~.

Of course, if it’s Anzu-chan, I’d welcome it with open arms ♪ Being carried by a guy is what every girl yearns for, right? I’ll carry you princess-style~ ♪

Nazuna: Yeah. Now that Kaoru-chin is coming at her without hesitation, Anzu-chan is visibly troubled…?

Nh? Anzu, you’re interested in that food stall over there? It looks like they’re selling tiny umbrellas and candy in the shape of umbrellas?

They must be specially made for this event~ ♪

Kaoru: Hmm, I guess they’re well suited as a small souvenir. Anzu-chan, which one would you like? Onii-san is going to buy it for you, okay?

Ahaha, I won’t demand anything in return, don’t worry. Let’s call it a symbol of us making each other’s acquaintance… Well, it’s a bit late for that, though.

Nazuna: I’ll buy something for everyone in Ra*bits~♪ The mini umbrellas look like they could come in handy.

How about you buy something for the guys in UNDEAD too, Kaoru-chin? 

Kaoru: Nah, I don’t think any of this is suited for UNDEAD. Our direction is a bit different, you know~, cute items like this should go to those who are suited to them.

...Huh?

Nazuna: What’s up, Kaoru-chin? Did something catch your eye after all?

Kaoru: Na~h, but isn’t that Morisawa-kun over there? Looks like he’s handing out balloons, so maybe he’s doing part-time work?

Nazuna: Ah, you’re right. What should we do, call out to him?

Kaoru: I’m good. I wouldn’t want to get in the way of his work, and I already have the oasis for my heart known as Anzu-chan by my side, anyway~ ♪

Nazuna: You never waver, do you Kaoru-chin…

Hmm? Your phone is ringing, Anzu. Is it from Kunugi-sensei…?

It’s almost time for the “Sunshower Festa” to start, so maybe it’s the paging call for that?

Kaoru: I see~. It’s a shame, but we can’t detain you here any longer…

Anzu-chan, do your best with your work. I’m cheering you on~, I mean it ♪

Location: Practice Room

Hinata: Yuuta-kun, pa~ss...☆

Yuuta: W-woah there. Aniki, what are you planning to do with these umbrellas?

And in any case, swinging an umbrella around like that is dangerous. If you accidentally landed a direct hit into someone’s eyeball, they’d go blind, you know? 

Hinata: It’s fine, it’s fine. I won’t make a blunder like that~.

...Owah!?

Yuuta: See, I told you so… It looks like you didn’t get hurt, but if you ripped your practice clothes, you’d be causing trouble for Anzu-san and Aoba-senpai. 

Everyone’s relaxing after the S2 that just ended, but for us, the real thing begins now.

Whenever possible, we practiced with Switch, but it’s not like that took up a lot of our time…

And now that we have practice outfits, I want to see some great results.

Hinata: Don’t worry, Yuuta-kun. I share your feelings of wanting to make the “Sunshower Festa” a success.

Look, the “Sunshower Festa” requires us to do a performance incorporating umbrellas, right?

They placed a lot of importance on that during the audition as well, so I think it’d be best to think of a bunch more techniques like that.

Yuuta: Aah, you’re right. Umbrellas are colorful, so I think we’ll be able to delight them with a performance reminiscent of a kaleidoscope?

Hinata: That sounds good. Then how about putting our special skill to use and do some juggling with the umbrellas?

Yuuta: Yep yep, I’m sure the children will enjoy that~. Maybe we should use children’s umbrellas and toy umbrellas for the juggling. Aniki, join me in practice for a bit. 

Hinata: Nishishi, piece of cake, Yuuta-ku~n ♪

Tsumugi: Ahaha. The kids of 2wink sure get along well.

Of course, so does Switch~. Twins are a good omen, so I’m sure good things will happen when we work together with them ♪

By the way, are you going to come watch us on the day of the “Sunshower Festa”, Anzu-chan?

Fufu, so you’re curious to see it after all.

It’d mean working on your day off, but whether or not the producer is on location during a performance does make a difference in motivation.

Natsume: SenpAI.

Tsumugi: What’s wrong, Natsume-kun? ...Ah, are you here to tell me to quit chattering and focus on practice?

I observed your practice while making clothes, so I’m sure I can match up with you guys immediately, though?

Natsume: WeLL, Senpai might look unrefinED, but once you go up on stage it’s not like your performance is entirely unwatchabLE.

Even though you look like you have bad reflexES, you have real performance abiliTY. How impertinent of yOU, even though you’re just SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Eeeh, why are you making that displeased face!? I can’t tell if you’re praising me for being a valuable asset or admonishing me for causing you trouble…?

Natsume: You’re slow on the uptaKE, SenpAI. Not that I miND, thouGH.

Little kittEN, if you have the tiME, why don’t you come watch our performanCE?

By exchanging opinioNS, we can reflect each othER, bUT. I’d like to get an unbiased opiniON.

You’re our producER. As suCH, it is your responsibility to guide us idoLS, to nurture US.

I heard the rumoRS. Now that the S2 is ovER, you’re bored with nothing to DO.

The little kitten prefers having work to do over having free tiME, because it gives you a verification of your raison d'être and eases your miND.

I am by no means trying to one-sidedly use the little kittEN.

I’ll get the little kitten to watch our performanCE, and she will enjoy having work to DO. It’s give and taKE...♪

YeaH, in that case we’ll be in your caRE. I have high expectations for yOU, little kittEN ♪

Sora: HaHa~♪ Sora practiced together with Hina-chan and Yuu-chan~. Sora worked up a sweat, and it feels gross not to wipe it with a towel~?

Nnh? Anzu, you’re lending Sora this towel? HiHi~, when one is generous to you, you thank them! Anzu, thank you ♪

Eh? You want Sora to show off his performance? Of course, Hina-chan lent Sora an umbrella~. Can you throw it to Sora? 

Umm, it’s no problem even if you throw it all the way up to the ceiling~. That’s right, Sora wants you to throw it with a “there!”~.

Catch...☆

Thank you! Being praised and called amazing~, that makes Sora so happy ♪

But, but, during the real performance Sora is going to grab the umbrellas hanging in the sky over the street~. You can’t reach them even if you jump~.

That’s why, Sora is going to use the walls! By using the walls, Sora will jump from one building to another and catch the umbrellas!

Nh~, it’s not dangerous~. Hina-chan said he’ll do it, too! It’s the same sensation to Sora as it is for Anzu to walk on the ground ♪

Hinata: Sora-ku~n.

Sora: Wau!? Hina-chan, don’t cling to Sora out of nowhere~. You surprised Sora!

Hinata: Ahaha, sorry, sorry. While trying out all these different umbrella tricks I totally tuckered myself out. 

So I leaned on Sora-kun who happened to be close by. 

Sora: It’s fine, Sora is sorry too! Hina-chan, can you walk? If you can’t, Sora will carry you on his back all the way home!

Hinata: Nono, I do have enough strength to walk~. Rather, I feel a bit woozy because I’m so hungry.

What do you think, Yuuta-kun, should we fill our bellies a little bit?

Yuuta: Agreed~. I’m hungry as well. Even though I ate a proper lunch my stomach is complaining that it wasn’t enough.

Sora: Nh~, you two are hungry? Do you want to go to the school store? Or the cafeteria?

Hinata: Let’s see, if we’re gonna practice all the way until night, it might be best to eat at the cafeteria.

Natsume: In that case we’ll go negotiaTE. I’m sure there’ll be no problem in us extending the rental periOD. Sora and you kids of 2wiNK, go ahead and take a breAK.

Sora: HuHu~, understood! Shisho~ and the others, please join us soon! We’ll get changed and head to the cafeteria! HaHiHuHeHo~….☆

Location: Game Research Club Room

Sora: HaHa~, Shisho~! Senpai! When you enter a room, you greet the people in it~. Hello ☆

Hm~, Shisho~ isn’t here? And neither is Senpai~. It’s lunch break, so maybe they went to eat lunch?

Ah! There’s a paper on that desk~. Let’s see, it seems he’s got a customer for his fortune telling? He needs to show up there, so he can’t come to the Game Club, huh~

That’s too bad! But, but, it can’t be helped since it’s his job~? And he wrote he’s going to come back here if he finishes early!

Sora: Sora is going to wait~. Sora’s gonna kill some time playing games ♪

There’s lots of different gaming consoles in the Game Club~. Sora’s gonna play SNES! Time to put in the game cartridge~, it feels good when it goes “click” into place ♪

Hr~m, a fighting game? But there’s only Sora in the club room right now~.

Since it’s a special chance, Sora’s gonna play with two controllers at once! Gotta take off these socks~, whoop...♪

Tsumugi: Hello~. Oh my, so it’s just you, Sora-kun. Natsume-kun doesn’t seem to be in today?

Sora: HiHi~, Shisho~ stepped outside because he has a fortune telling customer! Senpai, over here, over here. Let’s play some games together ♪

Tsumugi: Ahaha, of course.

What kind of game is this? SNES? I suppose being able to play retro games like this is part of the appeal of the Game Research Club.

Sora: Huhu~, we have all the latest consoles in our collection, too! Once you get started, you just can’t stop!

It’s the same way at home, Sora can’t help but play games the whole time~.

Tsumugi: It’s great that you love games so much, but you should keep an eye on the time when you play them. Playing too much isn’t good for your health, so I worry about you.

...Whoops.

Sora: HeHe~, you blew up magnificently~. What do you want to do, press continue? 

Tsumugi: Right. Then, I’ll continue.

...Oh, I forgot to ask something important. 

Sora-kun, did Natsume-kun tell you anything about the “Sunshower Festa”?

Sora: Hm~. Sora hasn’t heard anything from Shisho~.

Tsumugi: In that case I have an announcement. We passed the audition for the “Sunshower Festa”, and so did the kids from 2wink ♪

Sora: HoHo~, we did it ♪ 2wink and Switch are going to participate in the “Sunshower Festa” together~. Sora is really looking forward to it already ♪

Tsumugi: Fufu. I’m happy for you, Sora-kun.

When he sees Sora-kun’s smiling face, Natsume-kun is going to automatically break into a smile too. I’m sure of it...♪

Location: Shopping District in the Neighbouring Town

Chiaki: Alright, let’s have a look around the venue for the “Sunshower Festa”! Everyone, let’s go…☆

Nazuna: Nh~... It’s kind of bothering me how you’re mingling in as if it’s the most natural thing in the world, but whatever. I did say we’d all go together ♪

Chiaki: Yep. Ryuseitai is currently on furlough, after all. We didn’t apply for it, but… This project seems really interesting, so in order to use it as a reference, I’d like to take a look around! 

Nazuna: Hmm, aren’t you eager~? Tsumugi-chin and the others, are you okay with this?

Tsumugi: Yes, that’s no problem~. Right, Natsume-kun ♪

Natsume: Have it your wAY. Sora is going around with the kids from 2wiNK, and I don’t want to get in the way of the time spent with his frienDS.

Yuuta: He~y, Harukawa-kun. Aniki~...?

(The two of them are walking along the walls and running all over the place, startling the other pedestrians.)

(Well, to Harukawa-kun, the ground and the walls may as well be one and the same.)

(I’m amazed that Aniki is keeping up with Harukawa-kun. They’re both inviting me to join them, but I’m not at the age where I can just act like an idiot without caring what others think anymore...)

(I wish he’d grow up a little. Whenever Aniki does something, it’s me, his little brother, who gets troubled by it after all.)

Owah, someone tapped on my back!? A- a ghost? Or a spirit guide~!?

Anzu-san? S-sorry, I lost my composure for a moment. I didn’t think Anzu-san would be here, so I got really surprised~?

Are you here for shopping? There’s a shopping district close to the school, so maybe you came all the way to the neighbouring town because you couldn’t find what you were looking for over there? 

Work…? Could it be that Anzu-san’s work even extends to the “Sunshower Festa”? 

But I thought the client is arranging the programme and all that…? In essence, it doesn’t seem like there’s much for Anzu-san to do…?

The production of the outfits? Anzu-san, you’re going to specially create outfits for “Sunshower Festa”? And both sets, too?

Knowing our producer is going to make the outfits motivates me even more...♪

Kaoru: Tenkousei-chan? So it’s really you, Tenkousei-chan, hey there~ ♪ To think we’d run into each other here, the God of fate must be smiling upon me ♪

Yuuta: Hakaze-senpai, hello. I heard UNDEAD also applied for the “Sunshower Festa”. Could it be that you came here to check out the venue?

Kaoru: Ah~, yeah. Sure did.

Tenkousei-chan, I found a stylish café over there, why don’t we have some tea together?

That café has an atmosphere like it’d be difficult for me to enter on my own~, so think of it as helping me out and come with me. That’s fine, right?

You’re in the middle of work, so that’s kind of difficult? I see, I see, Tenkousei-chan is doing her best with her producer work. How admirable ♪

“Sunshower Festa” isn’t really an event that suits UNDEAD all that well. 

Even though it’s a job outside of the school, it doesn’t seem like a lot of girls will attend it, right?

So I ki~nda can’t bring myself to be enthusiastic about it. Ahaha, yeah. I really should be taking my work more seriously, huh? I’ll reflect on i~t ♪

Whoops, did I make you angry? Your angry face is charming as well, but I like your smiling face the best~.

Come on, smile, smile ♪

Yuuta: Um, Hakaze-senpai? It seems like you’re bothering Anzu-san, so…Please let go of her.

Kaoru: Errrm, which one of the twins are you again…?

Well, whatever. If tea is no good, let’s take a walk about the location together. 

In that case it won’t get in the way of your work, so even Tenkousei-chan won’t turn me down, right?

Yep, yep. “If it’s for work, I’ll put up with it”, you say?

Tenkousei-chan really isn’t a straightforward one, huh. I can’t close the distance between us at all. It’s like I’m trying to conquer an impregnable castle.*

Yuuta: Huh, that’s unexpected~. Hakaze-senpai, do you play video games and such? 

Kaoru: Nah, not really…

Hmm? Tenkousei-chan, you play games due to your little brother’s influence? What kind of games? Maybe I’ve heard of them before~.

House dates aren’t half bad, either. Intruding into Tenkousei-chan’s house, and introducing myself to her family and stuff like that.

Attacking Tenkousei-chan directly isn’t bringing any results, so maybe I should clear away other obstacles first~ ♪

Yuuta: (Oof, Hakaze-senpai is really only interested in talking to Anzu-san alone.)

(When I talk to him, he just gives half-hearted answers, but as soon as it involves Anzu-san, he replies so animatedly…?)

(I guess he likes Anzu-san. Or rather, he really likes girls?)

Hinata: Yuuta-ku~n! Yuuta-kun wouldn’t catch up with me, so I did a whole lap around the shopping district, it was so lonely~! 

Yuuta: Uwapuh!? Aniki, don’t hug me so forcefully...!

Sora: HuHu~, we’re back ♪ Going around in circles was a lot of fun! It’s such a perfectly blue sky~♪

Kaoru: Uwah, they’re coming in droves…

A babysitting date with Tenkousei-chan, huh… I guess I can think of this as something like our future prospects? Yep, let’s think positive ♪

Hinata: Huh, Hakaze-senpai? And Anzu-san is here as well, the amount of people really went up.

Yuuta-kun, you’re having an affair, huh. How cruel, even though I’m so devoted to Yuuta-kun!

Yuuta: Don’t say idiotic stuff like that… I just happened to run into Anzu-san and Hakaze-senpai coincidentally.

Sora: Anzu, doesn’t it hurt to stretch your neck like that~? Is there something up there? Should Sora climb up there?

HeHe~, so Anzu was trying to see where they’re going to hang the umbrellas~. Sora saw it from above earlier, so Sora has a general idea of it!

Over here, over here, please follow Sora...♪

Kaoru: Hey now, getting a headstart is against the rules… And they’re already gone. You’re quick, but I won’t let you escape, you know?

Hinata: Yuuta-kun, come on, let’s go. It’s a race to see who’s going to catch up with Anzu-san and Sora-kun first, ready, set, go...☆

*”Conquer” is a bit of a gaming term here.

Location: Shopping District in the Neighbouring Town

Hinata: Yuuta-ku~n, over here, over here ♪

Yuuta: Aniki, don’t go running off just because you’re excited, will you~?

Sheesh, as soon as we decided to participate in the “Sunshower Festa”, Aniki’s totally taken the initiative…

But I guess that’s fine, since Aniki’s the leader of 2wink.

And even if I apply to something, as soon as it turns into a job for us, Aniki’s signature and such are required anyway.

...I wonder how many units announced they’d like to participate in the “Sunshower Festa”?

Just a short time after we signed up, they closed applications.

I never would have thought they’d close applications on the same day they opened them. It might be pretty hard to get in. I guess I’ve kinda lost my confidence…?

If we at least knew what other units signed up, I could come up with countermeasures.

Hinata: Yuuta-kun, you want to know what other units applied?

Fufu~n, leave it to me ☆ “Please tell me which units announced their application for the 'Sunshower Festa'”....There we go.

Oh, and there’s a post about it already! Umm~m, UNDEAD, Ra*bits and Switch… And us, of course. 

The school SNS is used for exchanging information as well, so it comes in real handy at times like this~ ♪

Yuuta: UNDEAD, huh… They’re a veteran unit, so I’m sure if there wasn’t a performance exam, they’d have been accepted just based on their popularity alone.

But it’s really unexpected for UNDEAD to apply, or rather… Isn’t the “Sunshower Festa” an outdoors event?

Is Sakuma-senpai gonna be okay? Won’t he dry up completely?

Hinata: It was written in the event synopsis that it’s operating under the assumption it’s going to be rainy, so maybe they’re just  hoping for rain?

No one will get drenched when it rains because they’re decorating the skies with umbrellas, so even if it’s a clear day those could serve as a sunshade.

Yuuta: It’s the rainy season after all, so the likelihood of the event being on a clear day is pretty low, too.

Hinata: Being combined with UNDEAD seems like it would be fun, but I’d prefer to be combined with Switch~.

I get the feeling we’d have good affinity with Switch? I don’t really get it, but that’s what my instincts are telling me~ ♪

Oh, speak of the devil and so on. Heading towards us, isn’t that Switch?

He~ey, Sora-kun! 

Sora: HaHa~, did someone call for Sora? Did they?

Ah, it’s Hina-chan and Yuu-chan! Hello~. Did the two of you come here to check out the venue, too?

Hinata: Yup. This is where they’re holding the audition, right?

They wrote in the exam details that the performance has to include umbrellas. 

They’ll be decorating the skies with umbrellas on the day of the event, so we thought we’d come here and check out the distance between the buildings.

Sora-kun, do your best to pass the audition!

Sora: HiHi~, let’s work hard ♪

Hinata: Yeah! Yuuta-kun, we can’t lose either. Hop, step, ju~mp...☆

Yuuta: Hey, both of you don’t get carried away and run all over the place, will you~?

Geez, if you act on your own, 2wink will-... No, even I will be damaged by your actions, you know? Are you listening, Aniki~!?

Tsumugi: Ahaha, Sora-kun gets along so well with the kids from 2wink. They seem to be having fun ♪

Natsume: SenpAI.

Tsumugi: Eh? Ah, yes. What is it?

Natsume: If we end up participating in the “Sunshower FesTA”, I’ll be leaving the back and forth with the staff to yOU, so please take care of thAT.

Tsumugi: Yes, of course. You did ask me to think of a live show we can do on a rainy day, and while I was still thinking about this and that, this work came in.

I’ll make up for that~ ♪

Natsume: Senpai’s circle of acquaintances is pointlessly wiDE, after aLL. It’ll go smoother than if I was the one to work on the formalitiES… WelL, do your best I gueSS.

Location: Game Research Club Room

Sora: HaHa~♪ Shisho~, Senpai, are you there?

Tsumugi: Oh my, Sora-kun. Hello~, welcome to the Game Research club room ♪

...Well, it’s a bit beside the point for me to say this when I’m not even a club member. But it’s so cozy here that I can’t help coming here all the time anyway~.

Sora: HiHi~, Sora gets that! You see~, Sora likes the Game Club too ♪

Sora likes games, but even more than that, Sora loves Shisho~ and Senpai who are here in the club...♪

Tsumugi: Fufu. I love Sora-kun and Natsume-kun, too. Natsume-kun, you feel the same way, right?

Natsume: I like Sora, but I hate yOU.

That asiDE… Sora, don’t you have something to talk to us aboUT?

Sora: HuHu~, you’re spot on! Shisho~ is an amazing magician ♪

Shisho~, do you know about the “Sunshower Festa”? In the shopping district of the neighbouring town~, there’s a parade!

Sora wants us to participate, too~. Is that no good, Shisho~...?

Natsume: “Sunshower FesTA”...? No, I’ve never heard of a DreamFes of that name befoRE?

Sora: Shisho~, the “Sunshower Festa” isn’t a DreamFes~. It’s a job that was posted on the school SNS!

Umm, I heard from Yuu-chan that it’s an event where you walk through the city whilst performing ♪

Natsume: HmmM, I see…

Sora: HeHe~, Shisho~! Sora wants to take part in the parade too~.

The city will be decorated with colorful umbrellas, is what it said! Sora wants to see that~, it’ll surely be beautiful ♪

Natsume: Hrm~M. Since it’s a request from none other than SoRA, I want to grant it for yOU.

The information is posted on the school SNS, rigHT? Let’s verify the details firST.

HrmMM… I’ve grasped the outline of the “Sunshower FesTA”.

It’s not the kind of event where just anyone can participaTE, we’ll have to pass an audition firST.

It’s a legitimate job with recompensatiON. Since the job is outside of the schoOL, a teacher will probably accompany US… But it doesn’t seem like a bad offER?

Sora: Yaaay, Sora’s so happy! Looks like Switch will participate in the “Sunshower Festa” ♪

Natsume: You’re being hasTY, SoRA. Remember the “Sunshower Festa” requires an auditiON, so unless we pass thAT, we can’t participaTE.
