Tatsumi: …… Oh? It looks like you returned.
Welcome back, Mayoi-san.
Mayoi: I’m home, Tatsumi-san…. and…
Hiiro: zzzzz…. snork mimi…. ♪
Mayoi: Hiiro-san…..? He really fell asleep, hm?
Tatsumi: Hiiro-san invited me to welcome Mayoi-san when you returned after working so late, so we were waiting here, but…
He got tired and ended up falling asleep.
Mayoi: Fufu, so that’s the case.
I’m sorry for Hiiro-san having to wait for so long. He looks tired, so I want to let him sleep just like this.
Tatsumi: Yes, let’s leave him like this.
How is it going with the temporary unit? Is it rolling smoothly?
Mayoi: For sure… that’s what I wanted to say to look cool, but…
Earlier, Producer-san pointed out something about it.
Tatsumi: Pointed out something?
Mayoi: She said we shouldn't wear the standard idol uniform and make custom outfits for filming instead, so I asked Producer-san to be the one in charge of creating them.
On top of that… I was worried about her traveling by herself, so she will be going with Hidaka-san, who planned to join us along the way.
I’m also relying plenty on Shino-san……. I should take the role of the leader, but I feel awful because it seems I just cause problems to everyone around me.
Tatsumi: I see, so that’s the situation at hand.
Please don’t be discouraged, Mayoi-san. No matter how prepared you may be, imperfections always seep through the first time you tackle a challenge.
You don’t need to carry all the burden by yourself. A unit is made of mutual support and trust between companions.
Mayoi-san, you are someone who was able to cross through the deepest darkness side by side with ALKALOID, so you understand, right?
A leader must see the full picture and protect their companions when the time comes.
Have trust in the ones around you, and please illuminate the path so no one gets lost.
Mayoi: Tatsumi-san….
…… That’s right. It’s bad taste to be dragging myself so much when Producer-san offered me her precious help.
If that's what I need to grow, I think I can accept it with open arms.
Tatsumi: Yes, please give your best shot.
Curiously, this is your first project after “Feather Touch’ and “Holic”.
Mayoi: Fufu, yes. The temporary unit end goal is preventing me from repeating a year, but…
If I grow even a little bit with this, I think it can be useful for ALKALOID activities…. ♪
Tatsumi: That’s wonderful, Mayoi-san. God is watching over you and your deeds ~ ♪
The asleep Hiiro-san will make plans for himself too, right?
Brimming with curiosity, Hiiro-san is always surprising us.
I wonder what kind of things he’s going to do. I have great expectations for the future, Mayoi-san.
Mayoi: ..............
Tatsumi: ……. Mayoi-san?
Mayoi: zzzz…snork mimimi… ♪
Tatsumi: Fufu…. he’s not used to this pace of activities, so the exhaustion piled up.
I’ll be right here watching over you, so please rest your wings without haste.
Good night, Mayoi-san.
