[Side Story] Midori Takamine: Episode 3
←Episode 2 ★
….Siiiigh….
Why do I have to wear this costume, anyway….?
So depressing, I wanna die….
I wonder if I’ll die if I jump from up here….
But I hate pain. And scary things, too….
It’s painful to be alive, and it’s painful to die, too. This world is too cruel….
Ah, Anzu-senpai. How long have you been here?
….Since before I even got here? I’m sorry, I didn’t even notice you….
Then, that means you heard all of my complaining earlier, right….?
I can’t believe you heard me grumbling to myself like a sissy. I wish someone could just kill me on the spot….
Why am I acting so depressed….?
I think it’s self-explanatory once you look at what I’m wearing….
Oh, this? It’s my idol costume…. Plus it’s a bright green and makes me look conspicuous. It’s the worst….
I’m part of “RYUSEITAI”. Why did I join? ….Why did I join this unit again?
I think it was something like I kept getting asked to join, so I just wound up doing it in the end….
But I never even had any interest in idols in the first place….
I only enrolled here since it was close to my house, and I just picked a course at random, and ended up with the idol course….
Since my family owns a grocery store, it makes no sense for me to be an idol or anything. I feel like I’m gonna cry….
So, why did you come to this school, Anzu-senpai….?
You were just tossed in here without really knowing what was going on….?
You actually have it pretty rough too, huh. And you even had the job of a “producer” pushed onto you, too.… If I were in your shoes, I probably would have run away before three days even passed….
It’s really impressive how you’re working so hard without running away….
As for me, I want to run away right this instant…. I can’t stand the thought of singing and dancing in this outfit….
Anzu-senpai, do you think I can graduate without having to do any idol activities even though I’m enrolled in the course….?
No? Yeah, I figured as much…. It’d be a different story if I had something to turn back time, but of course there’s no way something like that exists….
In any case, I won’t stand out if I just dance behind everyone else, right….?
I don’t want to stand out.
When you stand out, everyone’s going to be looking at you, right….?
I just want to live in peace without causing any trouble….
But if even a simple wish like that can’t be granted, my life really is hopeless….
Well, I’ll be going now. Senpai, good luck with your work, too….
