Episode 2: Yui’s strategy.

“This concludes our self-introduction time. Everyone, did you properly remember all of your friends’ names and faces?”

……

・・・・・・It’s okay to speak up right now you knowー?

Okamoto felt dead-tired already while the first graders are still being quiet as usual. If they’re like this it’s okay if I treat them like high-schoolers right? She thought, but they’re still just a first graders nonetheless so that might be a bit too much. Then I should give them the experience you can have only when you’re a first grader, Okamoto motivated herself by thinking so.

“Then! We’ll have a short break! Is there anyone who wants to go to the toiletー?”

She said with an enthusiastic voice of a children tv show’s big sis, and some of the children raised their hand up. Okamoto gripped her hand hard.

“As for the others, it’s no good if you hold it in alright! And ummm, everyone who raised their hand, Sensei’s going to guide you all to the toilet, so please follow me!”

With that, Okamoto along with four children left the classroom, and Yui plopped her face down on her desk. She slowly reached her hand out and poke Misaki’s back with an “Eiー”. Misaki’s shoulder jerked up, and she turns around with dissatisfied look. Upon seeing Misaki’s expression, Yui leaned backward instantly.

“Are you mad?”

“Surprised.”

Yui stretched her hand upwards and bowed her head as she slowly fell down on the desk. I’m sorry for scaring you.

“What?” (Misaki)

Misaki relaxed her expression as if to say she doesn’t mind. Yui looked up while still having her face on the desk, then she taps the desk with a flick of her wrist.

“This is thrilling!”

“……Un?”

What is? Asked Misaki. Yui suddenly raised her face up, with her hands moving tremblingly in front of her face.

“Something, something’s just-, there’s a lot of it!”

It isn’t even comprehensible.

Yui suddenly opened her eyes wide.

“So this is…… what being a first grader feels like!”

“……Un.”

Misaki decides to just nodded along for the time being. Misaki doesn’t look very emotional about this, but Yui is very impressed with her first time of elementary school life.

Blackboard!

Desks!

School bags!

Lots of people! (Compared to the previous place.)

Listen listen! Yui started heartily chatting with Misaki. And perhaps the cheerfulness from her voice is contagious, the entire classroom gradually starts to become lively.

“That’s right! Misaki, Did you complete your mission?”

“Christmas?”

“Santa-san!”

“Tashizan?” 1

“……Mumumu?”

Both of them tilted their head, not understanding each other’s words.

Yui gives up thinking any further, then said while remembering what she had eaten on Christmas last year.

“So, eight months later!”

Yui raises up eight fingers.

Misaki did some simple calculation and,

“December?”

“Yup!”

Christmas is in December.

December is Ryo-kun’s birthday.

“……Un.”

Nodded Misaki. Yui suddenly brings her face closer, then held up three fingers.

“A first-class lady should always have a plan reviewed, revised, and ready all the time.” 2

A sentence borrowed from Yui.

She stuttered a bit but she doesn’t care.

“Then, it’s now time to tell you the plan!”

Dadadadadann. Yui taps on the desk to build the atmosphere.

And of course, the two of them are talking about how they’d celebrate Ryuusei’s birthday. Since Misaki’s very happy with her sixth birthday, so she wants Ryo-kun to be just as happy as her. Knowing this, Yui offered to help heartily.

I’ll give you your first mission! Please obtain information about Ryo-kun’s birthday!

And Misaki managed to obtain the information about Ryo-kun’s birthday, and now Yui is about to tell her the next phase of the plan.

“First!”

Yui takes a deep breath.

“Cheek-to-cheek!”

“What?”

“Like this!”

“Un.”

Squish. (Yui sticking her cheek to Misaki’s SFX.)

“Squish!”

“……Un?”

“Mama’ll be very happy if I did this!”

“……Un.”

Since she doesn’t quite get it this plan has to be on hold for now.

What’s the next plan? Asked Misaki with her eyes.

“The second plan is, a portrait!”

“Ohー”

That’s a nice idea. Misaki’s starting to get curious.

Seeing the change in Misaki’s expression, Yui puffed her chest out proudly with a fufun sound.

“It’s a perfect plan that you can execute even if you have no budget. And then, the last one is…… A song!”

“Song?”

“Yes!”

Having announced her very special plan, Yui continues in even louder voice.”

“You tararan the piano, and then also lalala you sing along too!”

“Happi baaーsu deー tsuー yuー?”

Misaki sings while tiltting her head.

Yui boos and crossed her arm.

“Toー yuー!”

“Tsuー yuー?”

“Toooー! Yuuー!”

“Tsuー, yuー?”

“That’s not it! Tooー, Yuー, as in to you!”

“……Un?”

“English!”

Sorry, but I don’t understand English at all.

Hey hey isn’t that really bad if you’re like that in this modern world society?

They look at each other as if saying those and,

“If you sing a song that belongs only to Misaki, surely he’ll be very happy!”

“Only?”

“An original!”

“Oooooooriginaleeeeeeee-!?”

Eh, was that Misaki just now?

No that’s not me though?

After both of them blink repeatedly at each other for a moment, then the two looked around them almost at the same time. And there, they saw a girl looking at them with sparkling eyes. The girl met Yui’s eyes, swaying her long hair which was parted in two and stands up excitedly.

“Did you said an original just now!? You said it right!?”

“……U-, un. I said it.”

Surprisingly for Yui who is a outgoing type of person, she speaks in a small voice and glanced at Misaki as if asking for help. But immediately after the girl grabs her shoulder, forcibly interrupts her call for help.

“You’re going to make one!?”

“……Y-, yeah I’ll make one.”

“Amazingー! Amazing amazing amazing!”

The girl jumps up and down on the spot while still grabbing onto Yui’s shoulder, and at the same time Misaki also moves her face up and down along with the rhythm. Misaki stares at the girl face, and said in her usual tone.

“Rumi-chan?”

“Rumimin☆ Rumirumi’s here♪”

Rumi responds with a peace hand sign.

And for some reason Misaki imitates her.

Seeing Misaki doing the same pose as her, Rumi exclaimed “My!” with her expression sparkles even more.

I immediately got a fan right away! (Rumi)

“Misaki?”

“……Un.”

Rumi confirms the name of her very first fan she made in elementary school. Then she look at Yui, she frowned with a hmmー

“What’s your name again?”

“……Yui.”

“Yui!”

“Yeah!”

Yui reflexively responded when she got her name called out loud. Rumi continues while staring at her eyes.

“Let’s make a contract!”

“……Mumumu?”

“A contract! I’m going to help you too!”

“……Song?”

“That’s right! Original!”

Rumi took a step back, clasped her hands together and looked up with sparkling eyes.

“An elementary schooler dancing and singing her own original song…… This is going to be the talk of the town! Rumirumi’s major debut is so soon!?”

Hearing those word, Yui’s eyes widened.

“Major (as in baseball) ……debut?

“That’s right!”

“Amazingー!”

Completely forgotten her nervousness just earlier, the two of them took each other’s hand and spin and jump around.

Music is just like baseball isn’t it! Said Yui.

I’m one step closer to become an idol again! Said Rumi.

And although the two of them never thought of the same thing, but here and now, a new friendship is about to be made.

Watching such a wonderful moment that is about to begin up close ,Misaki blankly thought.

Seems amazing, somewhat.

If the two of them are already this happy already, then surely Ryo-kun would also be happy too. Alright, let’s do our best to make an original song!

“Majorー! Majorー!”

“Rumimii~n☆”

Misaki kept watching the two spins around each other while saying incomprehensible things, until the teacher comes back. And when Okamoto’s finally back, both of their faces were paled from spinning around too much and had to go to the toilet after that, but let’s leave it at that.
