Episode 1.0 - Haru 2 - I’ll Clean it All Up
I’ll clean it right up!
Haru: Hm hm hm
Haru: Oh, good morning, Manager!
Manager: Morning. I see you’ve started. Sorry about that, I should’ve come in earlier… Uh...
Manager: Wha!?
Manager: Why are you dressed like that!? What happened!?
Haru: Ahaha… I guess that is how you would react…
Haru: Coney-san kind of forced me to wear this when I came this morning…
Haru: Umm, it looks weird, doesn’t it? I’ll go and get changed!
Manager: No, I didn’t mean it like that. It actually looks really good on you…
Manager: Wow, Coney-san really does know how to make girls shine!
Haru: Ahaha… I think I’ll get changed anyway. I’ll end up dirtying this great costume…
Manager: You’re right. I still think it’s a waste though…
Manager: Still, you didn’t have to come this early for a part time job. Sorry about that.
Haru: Oh, don’t worry about it. I just love cleaning!
Manager: I’m glad you’re here Haru. Oh yeah, are you having any trouble with cleaning?
Haru: I do, I do! It’s a good thing you’re here now!
Haru: The bookcases in storage are so heavy that I can’t carry them. Can you help me out?
Manager: That’ll be no problem at all.
Manager: hack cough… It’s really dusty…
Haru: Well it is storage. There aren’t any windows here…
Haru: I’ve gone over it with a vacuum, but it looks like I need to go over it maybe two or three more times…
Manager: Sorry for making you do all this…
Haru: Ehehe. I can do my best since I love what I’m doing!
Haru: Anyway, over here Manager. This bookcase is too heavy…
Manager: Yeah, this is heavy all right… But, wow. There’s so many idol goods left behind here.
Haru: Then that means it’s a studio with a lot of history, doesn’t it?
Manager: I don’t know the details, but I’m sure that the previous idol used to be a huge fan of idols.
Haru: I see… He loved idols…
Manager: Ah! A Holocon!
Haru: It is. It’s all worn out. It looks like it’s an old model.
Manager: To think that this slipped in the back of this old bookcase. I wonder if it still works.
Manager: Whoa! A hologram popped up!
Coney: Oooh! This is live footage of idols that retired once upon a time! Doesn’t look like there’s any sound though!
Haru: Hya!?
Manager: Coney-san, when did you get here!?
Coney: I was testing out the equipment. They may be old, but they’re still going just like the old days!
Coney: Anyway, look at this! Manager, Haru-chan, do you know who this person is?
Haru : Oh, I know! My mom used to sing hum her songs to herself back in the…
Manager: It was recorded August 2016… This footage is over 15 years old.
Haru: Oooh, it’s from that long ago? It sure takes you back!/It sure is nostalgic!
Manager: Haru, what kind of song was it? Just sing it if you remember it at all.
Haru: Huh? N-No, I’ll pass on that, I’m fine…
Coney: Yeah, do it. Haru-chan, try singing for a bit!
Haru: I’d… Rather not…
Coney: Huh?
Haru: I’m not talented, so...
Coney: Whaaat! Stop saying that and just sing! SINGING NOW!
Coney: Need I remind you, young lady? It’s written in the contract that part of the staff’s job is testing out the equipment!
Haru: What…!? But you said I was just going to clean…
Coney: Cleaning starts with constructing the venue. After that, singing a couple of songs to test the equipment might just fall within the staff’s realm of responsibilities!
Manager: ‘Might’…? You sound so confident over something so vague…
Coney: Haru-chan, this is part of your job! Let’s recording test! Now!
Haru: Huh!? C-Coney-san!?
Manager: (Coney-san’s pretty ruthless…)
Haru: … I sang.
Coney: OK! That was some great singing! Man, that gave me goosebumps!
Manager: Yeah, you’re amazing, Haru! It’d be a waste if you stay on as cleaning staff!
Haru: Ahaha… Can I stop now?
Coney: No doubt about it! Haru-chan, forget the sound check! You should stand on a real satge!
Haru: No, I’m…
Haru: I’m all right…
Coney: Hmmm, but you had a lot of fun singing, didn’t you? You loved it, right?
Haru: I enjoyed it, and I do love it… But I’m fine…
Haru: My singing won’t bring a smile to anyone.
Coney: Ooh, I see. But, why’s that?
Haru: Well…
Manager: Coney-san, you can’t just force people to do as you want them to.
Manager: Besides, our contract’s beginning to look more like a fraud…
Manager: I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Haru: Oh, but please let me carry out the soundcheck. It’s my fault for not reading the contract anyway.
Haru: And… I’ve already signed it, so I’ll do it!
Manager: Haru, are you sure? You’ll only sing a lot more from now on…
Haru: Ehe… It’s all right. It’s not like I’m debuting. I won’t be an idol just from doing soundchecks!
Haru: I’m just cleaning staff who doubles as soundcheck in the end! All right, I’ll clean it all up!
Coney: Aww, Haru-chan looked like she was having so much fun singing too…
