[Ensemble Stars!!] Hokuto Hidaka Idol Story 2

[yoroshikilled]

Location: At the gates of Starmony Hall

Subaru: Look look, Ukki~! This is the dorm we'll be staying at from now on, Starmony Hall!

It's fully furnished and ready to go too~☆ And the building's so clean! Every inch of it's suuuper shiny ☆

Makoto: Ahaha, it feels exactly how a home for idols should be, huh? ♪ Plus, it's totally convenient for us to live here ♪

Subaru: Ooh~? Just what I'd expect from you, Ukki~. You can tell just by looking at it just a bit... You're not called the Glasses Idol for nothin' ☆

Makoto: You know it ♪ The SNS... Rather, WholeHands explained a good bit of it, and the rest I found out in my own various investigations ♪

With the accommodations we've got here, we'll be able to stand on even more stages ♪

Subaru: Not only did we win the SS, we get to go even higher... We really are gonna be the brightest stars shining in the night sky ☆

Hokuto: Hey, you guys are making too much of a racket.

I know you can't help but get all excited about a new place, but this isn't Yumenosaki Academy. There are all kinds of other idols who're living here.

You're gonna disturb everyone if you're too loud.

Subaru: What~? Don't say that, Hokke~! You really think my voice sounds loud, even though I'm being careful not to be?

Hokuto: If you seriously think that you're being careful with your volume, then you'd better fix how you perceive reality.

... Well, I can understand why you'd feel the need to go nuts over this.

Since the ES's Project has quite the expectations as a business, the dorm's facilities won't be anything like back in Yumenosaki Academy.

Makoto: It feels like a real design wiz planned this place out, huh? How much do you think it cost to build?

Hokuto: Who knows. At the very least, they claim that we won't have to worry about managing anything, so we can fully focus on our activities as idols.

We ought to be grateful towards the ES Project at the very least, so that they don't think we're taking all of this for granted.

Subaru: Got it! Let's give a bow of thanks in Eichi-senpai's general direction ♪

Hokuto: Right. That might be good. It'd be too much to go all the way to thank him face to face after all...

Speaking of, which way is Tenshouin-senpai's room?

Makoto: Hold on, Hidaka-kun, not you too!

Hokuto: Hm..? Is there something wrong with what I said, Yuuki?

Makoto: Um... You wouldn't usually bow in someone’s general direction to thank them, right?

Hokuto: You don't? My grandma always makes sure to pay attention to the direction she’s facing whenever she pays her respects, though...

Makoto: Well~, that's not exactly wrong, but... it'd probably be fine just to thank him normally?

You can really be an airhead sometimes~. You're usually delivering the punchline, but sometimes you're the one setting up the joke.

Subaru: Fufufu. This is Trickstar's real strength!

The balance of "straight" and "funny" are just a thin line apart at all times! Trickstar's got Double the Funny and Double the Straight...☆

Makoto: Double the Funny and Double the Straight..! Got it, so that's our strat!

Hokuto: Seriously, where are you getting this about Trickstar? I didn't hear a thing about it.

Subaru: Nice comeback, Hokke~!

Makoto: The Double Funny, Double Straight of Trickstar's happening right here, huh...♪

Hokuto: Stop. I wasn't even going for that...

Mao: Yo~, you guys havin' fun~?

So you were here, huh? I didn't get a reply to my message, so I had to look for you~.

I heard you were all taking a walk around ES's building, but you made it all the way to the dorms?

Subaru: Sally~☆ You got done with all your student council work?

Makoto: At last, all of Trickstar is complete! Now we can challenge ourselves by being triple the funny and triple the straight!

Mao: Yeah..? I've got no clue what you're talking about, but more importantly it's good you're in as high spirits as usual, huh?

I was pretty much wandering around too, but thanks to that I've got a good grip on the kinda place ES is. Uh, my bad to keep you waiting though.

Hokuto: Don't worry about it, Isara. You're busy with student council work, and as the leader of Trickstar I'll support you as much as I can.

You're Tenshouin-senpai's successor, after all.

It might be difficult while you're still not used to things, but we'll overcome any obstacle together as Trickstar.

Makoto: That's right. I'm handling all of Trickstar's office work, so that should take off some of the burden on your shoulders too, Isara-kun.

Subaru: Yup yup ☆ I'm working hard so I can be a top idol just like Eichi-senpai asked me to, so I'll even coach you on your parts, Sally~☆

Mao: Ahaha. If you work too hard, Subaru, I might not be able to catch up. ♪

Still, you guys are really helping me out here. Trickstar's made of four people after all ♪

The Producer's been lightening my load and assisting me with stuff too. Seriously, I feel like I'm the only one being helped out.

Makoto: No way, you do a lot to help us too, Isara-kun.

Whenever we were in trouble, Producer-chan always came to our aid

Now that she's helping to establish ES, it'll be all kinds of difficult.

We've gotta work harder than ever so we can walk side by side with her ☆

Hokuto: Fufu. You took the words right out of my mouth... It seems like everyone's on the same page.

Subaru: You betcha! We won the SS and got a ton of buzz from it, but as Trickstar we can aim even higher ☆

Makoto: Yup, we absolutely have to deliver even more sparkling stages. ♪

Mao: Right. Guess I can't disappoint our fans by being too busy ♪

Hokuto: Fufu. We can't afford to be careless. We'll strengthen ourselves at Starmony Hall and strive for perfection in all we do.

No matter what new stage we stand on, we'll keep shining on with all our might. We've already conquered one of our grand dreams, the SS...

And as idols, we'll shine even more for every fan we've got.

That's our goal as Trickstar; the dream beyond our dreams.
