Chapter 4

Welcome, welcome! Is everyone present? Wonderful—then let us cheerfully greet one another!

Hellooo~…☆

Hello~!

Hello~ ♪

……

Oya? It seems Shu is holding his tongue. Perhaps he didn’t hear me? What if I try this?

One, two… and behold, now my mouth has grown! Look, look, it has more than doubled in size! Hello~!

Non! Be quiet, Wataru. Do not shout in my ear.

Hm… I have seen you enlarge your ears many times before, but this is the first time I’ve seen you do it with your mouth.

Fufufu. I have prepared many more tricks than usual for today ♪ I can even vanish before your very eyes~ One, Two, Amazing ☆

Uh—huh? Hibiki-senpai actually vanished?!

Just kidding! A hello to you from behind ♪

Ngyaaaaaah?!

Yes, that’s one Amazing! There are four of you here, so if I could get an Amazing from the remaining three—please applaud! Clap, clap, clap…☆

Wataru, enough with the games and get down to business.

You are quite impatient, Shu~ Well, they do say that time is money. Then without further ado, shall I make my announcement?

Tah~dah! The script! I stayed up all night working on this.

Wow, a script written by Hibiki-senpai…☆

Hmm hmm… So it’s like, we’re gonna be doing a street performance with tricks where we swap places?

Yes. This is the technique I saw in that movie.

Hm, that certainly sounds interesting. Wataru, may I see the script?

Why, of course. It is embarrassing to let you see it, but you won’t be able to make the props we need without it.

So even you can feel shame? That’s somehow surprising to hear.

Fufufu. I was able to surprise Shu! With that, I have collected another Amazing—a total of two~ ♪ And now, just two remain. I can barely contain my excitement…☆

I can. In any case, I’ll read the script over and think of what props we will need.

Yes, if you would be so kind.

Now, Hinata-kun, Yuuta-kun! Let us begin practicing your performance at once!

This whole thing will be filmed in one shot… Please practice with that in mind.

Okay!

We’ll do our best!

Delightful~ I have written in the script all of the actions I’d like to see, but I don’t mind if you include more in your performance.

By all means, be candid and carefree!

All right! Street performances are our specialty, and since we’re twins, these swapping tricks should be a piece of cake for us!

We’ll show you something out of your wildest dreams~ ♪

My dreams are wilder than you’d think… but knowing the two of you, I'm sure you'll be able to do just that.

I’m looking forward to it.

All right! I definitely won’t let your confidence in us go to waste!

Mm, okay… So I’m gonna take some well-known products this store sells and juggle them on top of a giant ball.

And while that’s going on, I’m looking into the display window, but I turn around when I notice all the commotion. It’s right then that I switch places with Aniki, and then I’m the one rolling around downtown.

It’s like no matter where I go, all of the customers and passersby and shop employees are just another one of me, and we keep switching places like that. I guess.

Yeah. It’s hard enough to switch places instantly, but the things we’re juggling are gonna be weird, too…

But we can’t go on complaining about this. The only thing we can do right now is show him we can go above and beyond what’s already written here.

You’ve got that right. Let’s see, there’s that giant ball we used while practicing for Circus locked up in storage, so I’ll go run and get it.

Oh, that ball? Then, allow me~ One, Two, Amazing ☆

Uwah—! You just pulled it out of thin air?! Wha—how did you do that?

And now my Amazing count totals three~ ♪ With this, I only need to surprise Anzu-san to have achieved peak Amazing!

Oh, what is it, Anzu-san? Something for you to do…?

Let’s see~ You are in charge of filming, so why not take some test shots?

Now Hinata-kun, Yuuta-kun, Anzu-san—let us begin!

Leave everything to me! …Hup~

Hinata-kun, please use these balls to juggle.

Thankies~ Fufun, I’ve done this kinda thing plenty of times before, so this much is easy-peasy ☆

So now I’ll roll over to Yuuta-kun like this~ And—pass…!

Ngwaah?!

Hang on! Don’t throw the balls at my face! Do you have some kinda grudge against me, Aniki~?!

And just so you know, I have plenty of those myself!

N–n–no! I don’t! Actually, didn’t you just say something really awful?!

Uu~ If we were just switching places, it’d be fine. But I’m on this ball and juggling, so it’s so much harder than I expected.

But this is what Hibiki-senpai wanted from us… So we’ve gotta figure it out somehow.

Yeah. Let’s keep at it until we get it down!

It’s fine, it’s fine. Yuuta-kun and I can definitely do it if we try. Hey ho, let’s go~ ♪
