I was standing in the middle of a crowded and noisy party hall. 

AAH, it's that dream again, huh――――

Thinking that, I just look at the same scene as before.

The conversation between fathers.

A small misdeed by mine and the girl.

And when it was over, the dream was also over.

"――ro――――Rintaro!" (Rei)

I felt my name being called, and I slowly opened my eyes.

The first thing I saw was a golden curtain. Then I quickly realize that it was her hair.

"Rei......?" (Rintaro)

"I'm back. Are you okay?" (Rei)

"Ee, Y-yeah......." (Rintaro)

Apparently, I had fallen asleep on the sofa as soon as I got home.

Because I slept in my uniform, it got a little wrinkled.

"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, okay guys~"

At a certain time, there are creatures that walk by two feet. These creatures can be divided into two by gender. These creatures are surprisingly able to pick something using things called hands.

And on a certain day, two of these creatures meet.

"Halloo~ I am Furujakka, ndesu! Nice to meet you!"

"Y, yes. Nice to meet you too, I am Fuurawan."

"Fuurawan-chan ka? Ii no namae."

"S, sangkyu."

The two greet each other due of their faces are facing each other.

They speak, breathe, blink, sweat, and so.

And after a long time passes,

"!?"

"Kyaa~ Furujakka-kyun."

"Daijoubu ka? Fuurawan-chan."

"D, daijoubu... desu."

"Mmm."

"Doushita no?"

"Fuurawan-chan no kaori, suuuuggoku WANGY, hmmmmmppppsshhh ahhhh wangyyyy."

"Mou~ Furujakka-kyun no eeccchi~."

On a certain day, these two meet and have lunch because they are hungry.

The boy orders fried rice while the girl orders a serve of seasoned rice being processed by frying.

For the drinks, the boy orders hot chocolate while the girl orders a cup of chocolate that has not been cold yet.

They eat their food.

They also feed some spoons with each other.

They then having a leisure exchange.

"Ikehh, yaru?"

"Damee~"

"IkehhHH!"

"..."

"Ikeh, tanoshii, kimochii, ore, ganbarimasu!!!"

"Mouu~"

"Dame ka?"

"..."

"Dame nanoka."

"Ee, haayaakuuu~"

The two of them are having exercise, training, and workout, then.

When they finished, then they restarted.

And when they finished, the boy pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the girl who asked the third.

And when they finished, the boy once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the girl also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

On the other occasion,

On a day that is not a night.

That day the sun is shining brightly because it's a day and 12:00 o'clock.

The day is bright and the sun has not been set yet.

The breeze can be felt due to the air is flowing.

As he is breathing, a certain boy is approaching a girl.

"Yaa, kitten-chan, can I have your namae?"

"S, su, suteki~. Ah, hai. Fuurawan desu."

"Fuurawan-chan, huh. What a kirei no namae. By the way, watashi no namae is Badz Zheengan. Watashi wa Son of a Beach. Watashi came from The Pangea Selatan. Diligent in setsuyaku. Ketsueki type is I, I for Ikkehmen. Watashi no hobby wa breathing. Yoroshiku."

"Yoroshiku, Badz Zheengan-san."

"Fuurawan-chan, watashi no yubi to kimi no chawan, let's have made karera meet and greet."

"Hai."

"Watashi-tachi will have much tanoshi."

They have a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok.

When they have done of their a wik wok awok koakoawaok akoawoakakwa kawkaowaoaok, then they re-doing again.

When they finished again, the girl pleaded for the second.

Then when they finished, this time is the boy who asked the third.

And when they finished, the girl once again pleaded for the fourth.

Then when they finished, the boy also once again asked for the fifth.

And so on.

"Fuurawan-chaaannn!!! Ikanaide!!!!."

"Gomen ne, Furujakka-kun."

"Dameee, Fuurawan-chaannnn!!!"

"Sayonara, Furujakka-kun."

"Ima, ore wa, Furujakka wa, pemuda tuna asmara dearimasu."

Who can stand to endure this situation

Who doesn't feel the loss

You leave me when I'm so in love

When I'm crazily in love

you choose another guy

Who can stand being dumped

Whose heart not hurt

The memories that have been passed

I keep it deep inside my heart

We are not one anymore

It's alright, I'll get through the days strong-heartedly

My wish is only one, be safe and sound

I can only be able to harbor this, from day to night

Because I know I'm just nobody

It's alright, I'll harbor this feeling inside my heart

I'll keep wish you live well

All I can do is hope you won't regret

Goodbye and thank you

"AWOKWOKAOWKOKAOKWKAOWKOAKOK!!!"

How should I explain this to my parents

We had gone through this long

But ended up breaking up

You are tempted by another guy's love

You yourself had been declared it

Living our love until our old days

Won't two-timing, I'm the only one for you

But now there's another guy inside your heart

It's as if the morning is cloudy

Then the day is rainy

In the afternoon you hurt me

And in the night I cry for you

I can only imagine

All of those had been just memories now

I rode you back, went through the way

Hugging under the rain

But now you are choosing

To be hugged by another guy

Do you not sense

How heavy-heartedly I am

Have to lost my loved one

Don't wanna leave my house

I have no appetite

If I'm not fed

"I'll have to iron it later....... Sorry, what time is it now?" (Rintaro)

"It's about 19:00." (Rei)

"Ah......, sorry, I couldn't get food ready. Can you wait for a while? I can make udon or pasta if you want." (Rintaro)

"Udon is good then. To be honest...... I'm not that hungry today either." (Rei)

"......I see." (Rintaro)

Rei's expression was somewhat lackluster.

Maybe something happened during the tripartite meeting.

"Wait here for a moment. it'll be ready in about fifteen minutes." (Rintaro)

"Got it, and thanks as always." (Rei)

"That's the deal. So, don't worry about it." (Rintaro)

I got up and headed for the kitchen.

I took out two frozen udon noodles, defrosted and then boiled them, and made a noodle soup base.

I put little grilled scallions and fried tofu on top, and it was ready.

I placed the bowl in front of Rei who was sitting on the couch and put her chopsticks on it.

"It's ready." (Rintaro)

"It smells so good." (Rei)

"If you want a second, just let me know. The udon is still ready." (Rintaro)

"All right. Then, I'll dig in." (Rei)

I sat down next to her, took the bowl my share, and sipped the udon.

Yup, it tastes soothing.

The scallions were fragrant and the fried tofu oozed with juice on each bite.

It wasn't as delicious as I had hoped, but the gentle taste gradually soothed my mind.

After we finished our dinner, we lined up on the couch and started watching TV.

It wasn't that there was anything we wanted to watch.

We just turned it on randomly to give ourselves some breaks.

On the screen, there was a young comedian who was wowing the studio. I've been seeing this guy a lot lately――――I thought, and glancing sideways at Rei's face.

"Is your lack of appetite related to...... that problem you were mentioning earlier." (Rintaro)

"Mm...... How did you know?" (Rei)

"It's just a hunch, that's all. But I've rarely seen you so brooded over, so I figured you might be." (Rintaro)

"......was right." (Rei)

"Hello~ I am Bujangga from pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id, Yoroshiku!"

Have to lost my loved one

Don't wanna leave my house

I have no appetite

If I'm not fed

A sigh leaked out.

If that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it.

The date had made it clear that there was nothing I could do to help.

"My father is coming to see the next live concert." (Rei)

"...... huh." (Rintaro)

"My father has always been opposed to my idol activities. He's always wanted me to quit." (Rei)

Rei kept her face downcasted and crossed her fingers on her thighs.

"If I fail and embarrass myself at the upcoming concert, he will probably not allow me to be an idol anymore. I'll go back to being a normal girl, and someday I'll be forced to marry someone who will benefit the family. That's what...... scares me so much." (Rei)

Rei seemed to be under a different kind of pressure than Kanon.

I can understand why her father was against her becoming an idol.

Idols are likely to be involved in hazardous situations, and moreover in this day and age, their lives could be ruined by the flames of an untrue rumor. How can he not worry about his daughter who goes through life in such a world?

"I've felt a lot of pressure in the past. But this time it's different. The thought of my father seeing me right before his eyes...... makes me nervous, even though I still have almost two weeks to go." (Rei)

"You can't...... afford to fail, yes?" (Rintaro)

Rei nodded helplessly at my words.

It is true that there is nothing I can do about this problem.

The only way to solve this problem is for Rei to overcome this pressure and make the concert a success.

"I don't really understand those situations where you'd feel that kind of pressure, but...... I don't think Rei, in her usual self, will ever fail." (Rintaro)

"My usual, self......." (Rei)

"I know it's a difficult thing to overcome. The only thing I can help you is to keep your daily life as usual at least." (Rintaro)

The food I cook, the way we interact with each other. I don't think they all have any special meaning. But at the very least, I'm going to make sure that you don't feel any pressure in your life.

No matter how hard I try, that's all I can do.

"Mmm. That's enough. I know better than anyone that in the end, I have to take care of myself. But I'm very happy that you care about me so much like that." (Rei)

"...... I see." (Rintaro)

I couldn't think of anything thoughtful to say.

"originally translated by bujangga - pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id"

Only two weeks left until the concert.

I could only pray for the success of Rei and the others in the upcoming concert.

◇◆◇

When Rei returned to her room, the time was 23:30.

Tomorrow is a Saturday holiday, so I was not in a hurry to go to bed early.

But in the afternoon, I'll be working on another short story for Yuzuki-sensei that will be included in a special issue――――

"I can only do, huh." (Rintaro)

I muttered to myself as I ironed my uniform.

When I was little, I used to feel like I could do anything, just like the heroes on the TV. It's called a sense of versatility.

But now, I've lost that feeling.

I have learned the reality and the limits.

Kanon's problems, Kakihara's problems, and Rei's problems were all beyond my capabilities.

And my worries must also be something they couldn't do anything about.

In such cases, it was no longer justifiable to intervene.

If you couldn't solve the problem as a result of poking your head into it, it'd probably only going to cause more pain for both sides.

"...... Haaa~." (Rintaro)

One big sigh leaked from my mouth.

At the same time, a LINE notification arrived on the screen of my smartphone.

I felt a sense of déjà vu as I checked it out and saw the name "Ugawa Mia" shown on it.

"originally translated by bujangga - pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id"

[Can I bother to come over to your place now? I need to talk to you for a minute.] (Mia)

It was déjà vu all over again――――

I read her LINE and flicked through the letters to reply.

I couldn't just accept Kanon but then rejected Mia.

[Okay. I'll leave the door open, then.] (Rintaro)

[Thanks. I'll be right there.] (Mia)

The reply came in less than a few tens of seconds, and our exchanges on LINE were over.

I went to the front door and unlocked it.

I walked back to the kitchen and started to brew some coffee, just like I did with Kanon.

I knew she liked it black, just exactly like me.

After all, I somehow feel a strong affinity to Mia.......
