Chapter 1

……

Nn? Oh it’s you, transfer student. What’s up? Did you need something from us?

Sorry, but try not to talk too loud. Well, you’re pretty quiet usually but… Look, these guys couldn’t keep up with such a long conversation and ended up falling asleep.

… ♪

Zzz, zzz… ♪

Snzz, snzzzz… ♪

Yeah, I can’t even move ‘cause they’re leaning on me. Wait, you wanna take over for me? Just go slowly, try not to wake them up… ♪

Thanks, transfer student, that’s a big help~ I’m sure they’d rather use an actual girl as a pillow, anyway. It’s like their reward for working so hard~ Nihihi ♪

Yeah, I’ll go grab a taxi or something so I can get these guys home safe.

There’s no way I’d be able to carry all three of them back by myself.

Hm? You want me to leave the taxi to you? Oh~ You’re already coming into your own as a producer, huh ♪

I get it~ I don’t mind letting you handle it…

But I’ve been thinking a lot about the past, so my head’s all jumbled up. I kinda just feel like doing something monotonous right now.

Hm? Ngh… Well, I can tell you about it another time. It’s better you know about what happened way back when.

But well, you’re gonna need to be a little stronger to handle that.

And if I’m the only one talking, you’re gonna get a biased perspective… I’m sure fine and the Five Oddballs all have their own piece to say.

So I’ll let you know about it bit by bit.

Hm? What’s this, a report? For me?

Oh… So you saw our live earlier? You wrote up a summary of what you saw… No, this is a big help! This is great, did you really catch all these details~?

Wow~ You really are a great producer ♪

Ahaha, you don’t have to look so scared… Hm? Did you wanna say something?

It’s fine, go ahead and say it. They say the quiet ones think three times more than anyone else, y’know.

But… If you always hold back and never say anything, you’re going to burst eventually.

You’ll have to let it all out once in a while, even if it’s just a bunch of complaining or whatever. I’ll listen to whatever you have to say—I am Nii~chan, after all ♪

Hm? Ohhh… Yeah, I see. I thought you had a weirdly sharp eye for a newbie producer.

Yeah, I know exactly who wrote this up.

Sorry, I’m gonna leave these kids to you. If I run fast enough, I think I should at least be able to catch sight of them.

Thanks, transfer student, for bringing me something so precious.
