Season: Spring
Location: 4piece Final Ceremony Stage
Fuyume: Yume has an objection.
Why wasn’t Yume, the number one cutest, chosen? The judges must have no eyes to see. Yume would much rather you withdraw from the seat.
Esu: What are you talking abouUUUUT?! The one who should withdraw is you! Are you stupid?! Do you even know what’s going on?!
Aren’t I always telling you to stop causing trouble to the general publiIIIIC?!
Please excuse him! I’m so sorry! I’ll take responsibility for this guy and drag him elsewhere, please continue!
Fuyume: Ow. Don’t pull Yume like that, Esu. You’re too forceful.
Nazuna: Ahaha, aren’t those quite the newcomers~? Though, better to have one that has a strong backbone than one that’s weak, I suppose.
Keito: How incorrigible. These results are being broadcasted, you know.
This 4piece is considered a major event, attracting attention from leading figures from a variety of industries. Standing out in a bad way won’t do you any good.
Nazuna: That is true, isn’t it? Wow~, they might get chewed out later then, huh. You think they’ll be okay?
Mao: Dance Dream Unit…? And they chose me for it?! For real!?
Subaru: Hooraaay! This is amazing, Sally~! Congraaats!
Mao: Gahhh, I can’t breathe…! Subaru, little less strength, please~!
Subaru: Ahaha, sorry, sorry! I’m just so happy your hard work’s been recognized, Sally~! As if it were my own! ☆
…Hm?
Tsukasa: ……
Subaru: You good, Cathy~? Could you be in a state of shock?
Tsukasa: Huh? Oh, no. I was just thinking a little.
Of course, I personally feel a sense of frustration, but… In order to grow, I must accept these results, so I cannot let myself feel down.
And, I am also the Leader of Knights.
As their Unit Leader, I am overjoyed that Sena-senpai and Leo-san have been selected.
And so I was thinking about our Schedule for the future.
I was wondering if our Schedule might require some revisions now that we have Nice Dream Unit activities to consider.
Ritsu: Ooh~, as expected of Suu~chan. You’re starting to act more and more like a dignified “king”~. I’m so proud. ♪
Tsukasa: If that’s what you believe, then I request you to stop praising me like a child.
Ritsu: Hey, Maa~kun. I gave it everything I got, but it still wasn’t enough. Comfort me~.
I’m just such a poor thing, you know~? I deserve some pity and comfort, don’t I~?
Mao: Umm? You don’t look to actually be all that genuinely upset or anything to me, though?
Ibuki: Oh, huh. So I wasn’t selected, huh~.
Well, there’s no point sticking around, so I’mma get somethin’ to eat~.
Chiaki: …I did it! I DID IIIIT!
I’m so happy~! This feels like a victory I achieved together with RYUSEITAI and everyone else who lent their strength! ♪
Mitsuru: I was selected too~! I’m so happy, yanno! ☆
Raika: Chiaki-oniisan, Mitsuru-oniisan, congratulations on your victory! I too am so happy~!
Kanna: Hm? Is that… Hojo Raika-san? He was here too…?
Jun: …I won. I… won against Ohii-san…!
Hiyori: Congratulations. You did not do all too bad, Jun-kun! Things will end differently next time, though!
Jun: Yeah… Thanks so much.
…You’re acting a little unusually modest, huh, Ohii-san?
Hiyori: Because this is quite the inconvenience for me! It’s supposed to be your important duty to be at my immediate back and call to fulfill any wish I may have, Jun-kun…!
Jun: GODDAMN! There’s not a lick of modesty when it comes to you! You just want to make a slave outta me!
Jun: ……
(I’ve set my mind to it, so… I gotta tell everyone about it properly.)
Izumi: Heh. I can even win an audition if I put my mind to it, you know?
I may not have been able to gain as much recognition as I’d like overseas, but… That doesn’t mean I intend to give way to the next generation in Japan either, you know.
Leo: So I’m in the Dance Dream Unit? It doesn’t really feel real yet. But I don’t exactly dislike dancin’, so it’s fine, I guess?
I wonder if they’ve got a song prepared already?
If I’m dancin’ with a group like this, I think I’d be able to write a new song~. Though, maybe dancin’ to someone else’s song will be inspiring?
Hinata: If you were to dance with the winners of the audition, and have it be a song composed by you on top of that, Tsukinaga-senpai… Now that would be a crazy cheat code, for sure.
Ibara: …Yuuta-kun, you don’t seem all too disappointed, even though you were not selected.
Yuuta: Could say the same about you, Vice Prez.
Ibara: Because I can still achieve my goal, even if I am not selected. And since His Highness and Jun have been selected, this will be a perfect advertising opportunity for Eden.
Yuuta: I’m in a similar boat, then. We just prioritized a win for 2wink.
It’s not like I lost from this. I just didn’t get selected this time around.
And so, this place just didn’t turn out to be for me. That’s why I’ll just leave it to Aniki and get my own elsewhere.
Ibara: I don’t dislike that way of thinking. Although, it is one that’s difficult to have recognized.
Mayoi: Hiiro-san, congratulations on your placement in the Vocal Dream Unit.
Your singing really is so wonderful, Hiiro-san. I just knew you would be able to make the most out of this opportunity.
Hiiro: But I feel like it’s such a shame, Mayoi-senpai. How come it didn’t work out for you?
You’re so incredibly skilled, and all…
Mayoi: Oh, no no. I am very much aware of why it didn’t work out for me.
Besides, the valuable experience I acquired in that field is plenty enough for me.
Wataru: Oya oya, I didn’t expect that I would pass.
Sora: …?
Wataru: Oh? What is it, Sora-kun?
Sora: Sorry if Sora’s mistaken, he can’t see all too well right now, but…
Is Dai-shisho~ not happy about that?
Dai-shisho~’s voice sounds happy, even though his words don’t, and it doesn’t match up~. So Sora found it a bit odd.
Wataru: Amazing, you are quite perceptive as ever, Sora-kun~!
I am rather happy. But having an evaluation of that audition makes me feel embarrassed somehow.
So I inadvertently behaved as if it was of no concern to me, or rather, how to put it… I am finding myself responding half-heartedly.
Sora: Sora doesn’t quite understand. If Dai-shisho~ is happy, then Sora thinks he should just let it show~!
Wataru: Ahaha, now that’s not an easy pill to swallow~. Could you let Eichi know that as well?
Sora: ?
Nice: “I understand there are many mixed emotions of joy and sorrow to be felt, but we’re running out of time. It’s due time for us to bring this results announcement to a close.”
“I too am beyond happy to have met you all through 4piece.”
“The children who have been chosen and those who were not, are all so very nice! The future of the idol industry is a bright one indeed!”
