hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.
man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great
Tomo-chin chasing Mitsuru-chin around like that, honestly feels like it’s been awhile since I've seen it.
Hajime: Fufu, it’s not like I can’t see where they’re coming from.
It’s my first time in Hawaii, so I’m feeling the excitement too.
I’ve always dreamed of visiting a resort like this ever since I was a child…♪
Nazuna: About that, I noticed you looked a little lost when we were drawing lots, Hajime-chin.
Could it be—were you having trouble deciding which resort you wanted to go to?
Hajime: Uu… Ni~chan, you’re too perceptive. I admit, I was considering somewhere like Guam, or maybe the Maldives.
Nazuna: Ahaha! Those are both pretty famous getaway destinations, huh?
Hajime: …Ni~chan, did you maybe have someplace else in mind?
Nazuna: Nah, I wasn’t really hoping for anywhere in particular.
I mean, it's kind of surprising that our Hawaii pick went through, considering there’s already another tournament match being held in America.
Hajime: Ahaha, Hawaii is also part of America, isn’t it? I also didn’t realize that at the time.
Nazuna: Well, NiceP is the organizer of the whole thing, and he approved it, so I guess it's fine.
Anyways, I think we made a good choice picking Hawaii.
They get a bunch of Japanese tourists, so a lot of the info boards are in Japanese. That, and the weather is really nice, it’s still pretty warm even though it’s November.
Hajime: That’s certainly true. You’d definitely be hot if you didn’t bring any summer clothes, even though it’s winter.
Nazuna: Exactly, exactly. Y’know, I hadn’t even thought about that part.
If Mitsuru-chin hadn’t told us to pack our swimsuits, I might’ve brought my winter clothes with me.
Hajime: Fufu, we owe Mitsuru-kun a lot for that…!
If we had the time, I’d love for us to do some more sightseeing. But I suppose that’s not really an option, is it…?
Nazuna: Unfortunately not, yeah. It’s easy to forget when we’re having this much fun, but we didn’t really come here to play around.
—We came here to advance to the next tier in MM.
Hajime: Honestly, I almost can’t believe that we’re participating in such a large-scale tournament like this.
It feels like the world has really changed ever since the Megasphere appeared…
Nazuna: Agreed. It never crossed my mind for us to do activities overseas until just a little while ago.
But, in that sense, Spri might be in the same boat as us there.
Hajime: …Spri. Even though it’s only been half a year since their debut, it’s incredible when you think about it.
Nazuna: Yeah. Although NiceP is their producer, so I guess it’s only natural they’d be participating too.
Hajime-chin, do you know what the kids in Spri are like?
Hajime: …No. I’ve only really had some short conversations with Esu-kun and Yume-kun.
You know more about them than I do, don’t you Ni~chan?
If I remember correctly, weren’t you and Kanna-kun a part of the same shuffle unit?
Nazuna: Ah, yeah. I wouldn’t say I know a lot about him because of it though.
He’s called a child prodigy for a reason, Kanna-chin’s observation and analysis skills helped us out quite a bit.
He keeps a close eye on others, funnily enough. Or I guess that might just be for efficiency’s sake.
I was able to rely on those skills of his back then, but thinking about those same skills turned against us… We might be in for a challenge.
Speaking of shuffle units, Tomo-chin also teamed up with one of them before. It might be good to hear what he has to say about his experience.
Hajime: ……..
Nazuna: In any case. People seem to be especially excited for this matchup, saying it’s like a cuteness battle.
Although that’s no doubt because of what Mitsuru-chin said at the lottery drawing. But if it’s a battle of cute, there’s no way we’d lose!
Hajime: …Right. Let’s aim to win, Ni~chan!
We’ll win, and then proudly declare that we’re the cutest unit in the world♪
Nazuna: Ahaha! Quite the bold statement coming from you, Hajime-chin. It’s kinda surprising, I gotta say.
Hajime: Even I’m prepared for an all out battle, you know.
—Especially this time, I have absolutely no intention of losing!
Nazuna: …? What’s so special about this time—Waugh!?
Hajime: *Cough, cough*... Uu, why’d you have to spray saltwater on me all of a sudden… It’s salty.
Mitsuru: Ni~chan! Hajime-chan too, just how long are you planning on chit-chatting in the shade?
We came all this way to Hawaii, it’d be such a waste to spend it talking about serious things!
Look, I’ve got a water gun for each of you, so let’s all have some fun!
Nazuna: …Got it. If that’s what you want, then Ni~chan will make sure to have fun to the very end!
Prepare yourself, Mitsuru-chin! I’m gonna soak you down to your bones!
Mitsuru: Ahaha! Bring it, Ni~chan! I’m gonna run circles around ya until you run out of steam!
Zoom~...☆
Tomoya: Foo… Haah… Just how much energy could he possibly have…
Hajime: Nice work, Tomoya-kun.
Tomoya: Honestly, Mitsuru is giving me such a hard time. We just got here, and he’s already making me run around after him.
Wait, why are you aiming a water gun at me too!?
Hajime: Ehehe, am I not allowed to?
Tomoya: No, it’s not that you aren’t allowed… Well, what the heck, sure.
Today is the day we decided we’d go sightseeing and spend time getting to know the island, after all.
Come to think of it, Hajime, have you seen Spri around anywhere?
Hajime: No, I haven’t seen them. Is something the matter?
Tomoya: I mean, I might just be overthinking it, but it’s just… I haven’t caught a single sighting of them today.
We were scheduled to land at the same airport, and we’re staying at the same hotel. So you’d think we’d run into them at least once.
Esu and the others, I wonder what they’re doing right now…?
sometimes someone I follow falls victim to severe Character delirium to the point where they stop even saying the character's name and just refer to them by an epithet like some kind of malevolent entity whom they don't wish to accidentally summon, so if the sickness sets in quickly enough and I don't pay close attention for a week I'm just Never going to figure Who this bastard haunting my friend Actually Is. and I'll spend months scrolling my dash occasionally seeing appeals to "that fucking horse" or "my evil grub."
