♣️ Hiiro-san refers to me as a 'friend', but... Fufufu, won't I merely be a terrible influence on him?

♠️ I guess we weren't good friends after all..... I see, how sad.

♦️ Umm. Lately, whenever I say something you find nice, you all finish it with a prayer. We've gotten quite a few funny looks because of that, so would you please refrain from doing so?

♠️ ? What's wrong, Tatsumi-senpai? Let's go, Mayoi-senpai and Aira are waiting on the stage.

♠️ I would hate to be resented by you. I'll fight alongside you from now on, as a friend.

♥️ There you are.... Don't just wander off somewhere without any warning, Hiro-kun. I was worried.

♦️ I believe that Saint Valentinus would be most pleased to see this lovely holiday that's filled with kindness and warm exchanges between others.

♣️ (Uuu.... Hiiro-san is still young, but he's reliable and strong. Compared to me, I...)

♣️ It's impossible! There's no chance at all! Please look awayyy! ♠️ Really? But I want to learn from you... Is that bad? ♣️ (C-Cute...♪ If you look at me with such pure eyes, there's no way I could refuse!)

♦️ Mayoi-san, you've been working on that diorama for quite a while and your eyes are drooping. How about I prepare some tea and we take a break?

♥️ Eh? Um, yeah... I was always a total loner when I was little. It's not like I distrusted people, but I resigned to the idea that even if we got along, we'd have to part ways soon anyway, y'know?

♥️ That's why I was so happy when Hiro-kun said “Let's become friends!” when we first met.

♣️ Un, deux, trois ♪ un, deux, trois ♪ ♥️ Why're you counting in French? ♣️ I can’t break my concentration~ ♪ Eins, zwei, drei ♪ ♥️ Now it’s German!?

♣️ Ah, everyone is such a shining star of an idol. ♦️ Yes. Let us too strive to become stars.

♠️ Can you not sleep, Tatsumi-senpai? ♦️ Eh? Ah, yes... Please don't stand behind me without warning, Hiiro-san. I thought you were a ghost.

♥️ Tattsun-senpai said it's a good season for reading, so I'll probs read up on some more idol photo albums and essays ♪

♠️ Uhh, I don’t know what to do if you cling onto me! I won’t be able to handle this serious situation— There, there, what’s the matter, Aira?

♣️ Ah, maybe you've been infected by my illness! I'm sorry, I'll take responsibility and sleep next to you tonight!

♦️ Trick or treat☆... Fufu, this reminds me of my childhood ♪

♦️ I'm so happy that I met you all and became a member of ALKALOID. I'll take the utmost care of this pen.

♠️ Of course, I want to acquire correct knowledge in other subjects besides Japanese history as well. ♦️ Oh, so that’s why you showed me your test papers like a child wanting to be praised by their father.

♥️ You keep saying that. I don't like the word “need” 'cause it sounds too calculating. You're my friend, and I *want* you to be with me.

♦️ Come to think of it, Aira-san asked me to take a lot of photos for him... He specifically mentioned he wanted to see “stuff that's super idol-like”, but I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to capture what he wants.

♣️ Oh, um, well. Tatsumi-san isn’t too used to smartphones, so I went to print out the documents we were sent in advance.

♥️ Hiro-kun betrayed us! It's terrible, it's so terrible, *bawling*.... Tattsun-senpaaai! ♦️ Aah, there there. Please don't cry Aira-san, there was nothing sad about it.

♠️ Every time we have lessons as ALKALOID, Mayoi-senpai always has drinks prepared for us. He's so kind and reliable.

♦️ We, ALKALOID, are growing splendidly. We will only continue to become stronger and more impressive idols, so please look forward to it.

♠️ I'm sorry. This hurts me too, I didn't want to deceive you guys.

♣️ U-umm... T-T-Tatsumi-san! ♦️ ? What's the matter? If you’ve gotten so worried that you can't stop trembling, I'll massage your back ♪ ♣️ I-I'll only tremble more if you touch meee! But it's not that! There! Please look over there!

♣️ I know my weaknesses more than anyone. I can only watch such dazzling brightness from afar by myself, because I'm a coward.

♣️ No. For the first time, I will train you all correctly. Not as a “mysterious person”, but as “Mayoi Ayase”......

♥️ I mean, like, your kindness that envelopes just about everyone is a charm point... If you come across as too scary, the audience probably wouldn't get the image of you that they expected.

♦️ Today, I made lunch boxes for ALKALOID. Let us be thankful to the Lord for our food.

♥️ Are y-, umm. I mean, Ayase-senpai — Are you a fan of idols as well?

♣️ Most of the seats have been taken quickly... Would you like to look around for an available one? ♠️ No, that's not necessary. Look. ♥️ Hiro-ku~n, Mayo-sa~n! Over here! ♣️ Aira-san, Tatsumi-san...♪ You two were having lunch together?

♠️ Our unit, ALKALOID, has only just been created. However, all of us get along surprisingly well considering how recently we met. This especially goes for my relationship with Aira; he tells me a great deal about idols, and we offer each other advice during practice.

♣️ Hiiie, no matter what I say or do, it's being interpreted favorably~!? I'm not used to that kind of thing, so please give me a break!

♥️ Hm~m, I appreciate that you said that, but this is a special event so I wanna do something special.

♠️ Rabu~i! Was that alright? I tried to imitate everyone!

♠️ That's correct. However, we have become friendly with one another in that short time... As we become more familiar with one another, let us do the same with our uniforms and our unit.

♦️ Mayoi-san? Is something the matter? Your face is looking quite pale…

♦️ It seems that all of our fans' cheering is much more excited during summer events. I can't help but become more invigorated too ♪

♥️ I seriously flunked this quiz... ♠️ I can tutor you if that's alright, Aira!

♦️ I have hurt people before. No, I may destroyed someone who was desperately trying to survive in this world.

♠️ Hmm, then I'll show you an example just as you did throughout our lessons, Mayoi-senpai. Breathe like this— In, and out ♪

♥️ That's good. ....Mayo-san, what's that you've been chowing down on for a while now?

♣️ I couldn't have expected to receive a fan letter, how truly odd. I will put my absolute everything into repaying that fan properly.

♦️ There is no person in this world who does not deserve to live, Mayoi-san ♪

♥️ Hiro-kun, as I thought, could it be you're a dropout just like me?

♣️ I-It's nothing. Come, let's continue our lesson...♪ ♠️♥️ ♪~♪~♪ ♣️♦️ ♪~♪~♪
