Chapter 2
Not over here~ Not over there~ Where is he~?
We came to the garden terrace thinking that at this time of the day, he might be here for lunch, but do you really think we’ll find Hibiki-senpai?
I guess? Tomo-kun calls him a masked freak, but he should still get hungry like any normal guy. Probably~
Well, if we can’t find him here, we can try the theater club room.
Amazing! Are you perhaps looking for me? Turn around, I’m right behind you! Hello, I am your Hibiki Wataru…☆
Wawa—what the heck?! H–how long have you been standing there, Hibiki-senpai? I didn’t notice you at all.
Of course you didn’t! Concealing my presence is but a simple task for me. It is just a matter of adapting to your surroundings and adjusting your breathing patterns.
Then, wondrously enough, it’s as if you’ve vanished, even though you’re still right there! You’re erased from the human consciousness.
Here I was, people-watching while elegantly eating my lunch, and then all of a sudden, you two appeared ☆
You have that kind of skill, Hibiki-senpai? So cool! I knew you were the best person to help us!
Oya, what’s this about helping? I presume that's why you were searching for me.
Um, well, this and that happened, and so now…
You are shooting a commercial? And for that, you need a director.
Yes! We can’t handle this all on our own, so we’d really like your help. So, uh, how about it…?
Hm…
……?
Very well, I accept!
Uhyaa—?! A megaphone and director’s hat just came outta nowhere?!
Ohh, wow! Ah—wait, I got distracted by your magic trick, but Hibiki-senpai, is it really all right for you to accept so casually?!
It sounds interesting, and of course, I could never refuse a request from Rei’s children.
I can produce as many director’s hats and megaphones as you like! If it is hands you need, then I shall grow more! And while I do that, here—a dove…!
Oh—! A totally unexpected move! You’ve really gotta be a freak like this if you wanna be a director!
Hey, Aniki, that’s rude!
Fufufu, I do not mind. Well then, what sort of commercial will we be making, hm?
Actually, there was a trick in a movie I saw recently that I’d like to try. What do you say?
How about a romance movie? Naturally, starring the two of you in 2wink ♪
A romance movie? That’d mean I might be dating Yuuta-kun…
Kyaa~! That's sooo embarrassing~! If we’re dating, that means we’d get to hold hands and take baths together and sleep in the same bed!
Ah—Wait, that's the stuff I usually do with Yuuta-kun anyways. What should we do, Yuuta-kun, we’re practically dating already~!
Oh jeez, don’t cling to me, Aniki. We don’t even do that kind of mushy stuff anymore.
Don’t get carried away and leave me and Hibiki-senpai behind. Also, we’re not dating.
Amazing! I was expecting something more like, “Cut the bullshit; take this more seriously!”
But Hinata-kun has utterly betrayed my expectations~ ♪
In any case, the romance movie was just a joke. What I watched was actually a sci-fi movie.
It was an old film, so there wasn’t any CG, but they used visual effects to make small objects appear much bigger.
They were even walking through the walls! With merely their own ingenuity and creativity, they were able to make the impossible possible—It was incredibly exciting!
From what I’ve heard, 2wink excels at acrobatics and street performances.
If that is the case, I’ll take advantage of you being twins by having you pull some trick shots. Or rather, there’s no other option!
I will be your director, so please put your faith in me. However, I will only be working behind the scenes—not as the star. That role will be left to you two.
Please do not forget that.
