nara

Well, now I’m here for Niki to pass on to him. But…where is he?

Niki: O~i, Kohaku-chan! Here! Over here~!

Kohaku: Ah, Niki-han. You were over her-

Why are you guys here waiting? What’s going on..?

HiMERU: Oukawa, welcome back 

Rinne: Oi, come over here quickly 

Niki: Kohaku-chan, come sit on this seat here. Also, let me know what you want to eat, I’ll serve it to you. Here, have chopsticks.

Kohaku: Ah, okay. Thank you

Niki: What do you want?

Kohaku: Hm right….If it’s okay, I’ll get some fried eggs, some of that boiled food and tempura 

Niki: Yesyes, order coming up. Go wash and clean your hands with those towels

Kohaku: Thank you very much, Niki-hon♪

……Wait, is this really the time to relax? Why do you have such a big lunch box at a place like this?...It’s huge and heavy too. 

Niki: Eh, well, it is lunch time. If you don't eat now you have enough energy for the competitions later in the afternoon, y’know? 

Kohaku: That’s not what I meant, since it’s lunchtime, just some rice is fine. What I'm saying is “Why do you have your lunch spread out here in a place like this?”

There’s a restaurant in the Passage Area for lunch, everyone else is going to eat there, right? 

We’ll be the only idols who have their lunch spread out here like this

Niki: What are you talking about? There’s lunch boxes for excursions, there’s lunchboxes  for cherry blossom viewing and even lunch boxes for sports days! 

Rinne: That’s right, stop worrying too much about the details 

Kohaku: It’s not fine. Look, people are looking at us strangely, you know!? Ah, they just laughed at us!? 

They’re all definitely whispering behind our backs “They’re eating just like elementary school kids (lol)!” 

Rinne: Isn’t that a good thing? A man will still be a boy no matter how old he is, dont you know? 

Kohaku: Shut up, can’t you be more mature? 

Why HiMERU going along with this? Isn’t HiMERU usually against things like this just like me? 

HiMERU: HiMERU already gave up, it’s okay as long as everyone else is happy. 

Kohaku: Don’t say something a line an anime character would say, you know like the ones that used to be popular all over the internet a while ago 

Isn’t that it? I swear I’ve seen something like it, I know that line from somewhere…like..

HiMERU: I don’t know what you’re saying. Anyway this situation is not as embarrassing as you think. 

Kohaku: ? What are you saying? 

HiMERU: —Apparently, for some reason, this lunch box scenario is popular with the viewers, there’s a lot of ‘Nice!’ going around for Crazy:B members. 

Kohaku: Eh? 

…..You’re right. There’s a lot more than before. 

HiMERU: The ‘Six Songs Selection’ is also determined via the amount of ‘Nice!’ obtained too. In that case, it is certain that those who also received good results in the competitions will also get ‘Nice!’

However, it’s unrealistic being in the top every competition

It’s difficult to keep winning, but you can continue to win with the support of viewers

Kohaku: Yeah, I also think it’s difficult unless you have lots of confidence 

HiMERU: —If that happens, the best case scenario is to avoid being disqualified. And attempt to achieve a decent outcome in the competition.

Besides that, obtain as much as ‘Nice!’ as possible 

That is why HiMERU has already given up. I’ll throw away my temporary shame and eat this lunch box with a friendly mood. 

Rinne: Now that you know the reason, Kohaku-chan come dig in this lunch 

Kohaku: I don’t really get it, but if this is benefiting us, then I guess I can’t help it. 

Niki: Yes, here’s Kohaku-chan’s bun. There’s lot’s more so don't be shy to ask for more~

Kohaku: Ah, thank you very much, Niki-hon

It looks luxurious, these stacked lunch boxes feel like a New Year’s cuisine.

Niki: Nahaha, since elementary school I haven't had a sports day lunch so I got a bit carried away~ 

HiMERU: Even so, how were you able to make lunch boxes like this? You didn’t bring your cooking equipment, did you? 

Niki: That’s right, I just used a cooking set program/recipe in the MegaSphere and used ingredients there

It was difficult to get the ingredients~ Rinne-kun couldn’t have gotten the ingredients without being apart of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’

But also thanks to the ‘Nice!’ I could get some!

Rinne: Hah? What does having a hard time making lunch and getting ‘Nice!’ have to do with each other? 

Niki: I delivered some of the lunch boxes I made, it was quite popular~

Kohaku: Ah, I see. You delivered a lunch box that also looks really good, no wonder it got popular

Nice: Gentlemen, enjoying your lunch? There are many competitions coming up later in the afternoon, save up a lot of energy.

Rinne: Hm?

HiMERU: It seems to have been a broadcast from the managing team

Nice: I’m going to announce the next afternoon's competition now.

The second event is not a bread-eating event, but a carrot-eating race! We’ll be waiting for you to participate.

Niki: Carrots…!? Can I eat the carrots!? Is it okay to be awarded!? 

Kohaku: The one’s happy to hear that are probably horses, rabbits and Niki

Rinne: Carrots because we’re rabbits? It’s a pun, isn’t it usually bread? 

HiMERU: —Ah, I see, what I saw earlier was…

Kohaku: Hm? Whadya’ see? 

HiMERU: Earlier I saw bread in the shapes of carrots coming in, I thought it was something for later

Now I see it’s a carrot eating competition

—Not a literal carrot eating competition, the runners are not eating actual carrots but bread as carrots. 

Kohaku: Okay, is that what they meant? If it’s that, I can participate, bread is easy to eat.

Kanata: The result of this was unfortunate but we tried, didn’t we~

Shu: Stop comforting me terribly, this sort of situation doesn’t need effort to be put in. I regret coming out here all this way

After all, this is contrary to my belief

I didn’t even like the [Mega Stream] or childish projects such as the Bunny Sports Day in the first place at all

Kanata: ? Then why did you come here with me when you didn’t want to? I would have listened

Shu: It’s for Mademoiselle. 

Kanata: Madomoaseru…? 

Ah, Shu came to Mega Sphere alone so he and she got separated, right? 

Shu: That’s correct. If you are selected in the ‘Six Songs’ at the end of the sports day, I can bring Mademoiselle over. Reluctantly I had to participate.

But with this kind of obstacle it’s a game I’m unable to win 

Kanata: We need a good ‘method’,starting now with ‘motivation’. If you can do that, her ‘coming back’ won't be a dream

Shu: That is a utmost difficult problem

Besides the existence of the Mega Sphere, the Four Heavenly Kings also raise a problem 

If you participate enthusiastically in the sports day, it means you are tending to Nice-P

I can’t stand being misunderstood by those around me. I have no intention of accepting that man’s ideas.

Kanata: Hm~m, as usual you think of the worrying things. It’ll be good for your ‘goal’ and ‘easy’

Shu: I wish to hear why and what you are accepting out of our current situation.

Kanata: I was ‘surprised’ at first but now, I’m ‘used’ to it 

(it’s kind of hard to put together kanatas sentences because he uses phrases/kanji of expression)

The large ‘water bath’ on the rooftop is nice, right? I can float in it all the time, it reminds me of the schools ‘fountain’~♪

Shu: So just a water bath..

Kanata: Surely everyone has their own ‘reason’

The twenty four streaming sure, it’s ‘unpleasant’, but everyone's ‘support’ together made me feel ‘closer’ 

Shu: What do you mean by the support that made you feel closer..? 

Kanata: When I speak to the Mega Stream, everyone immediately replies. As in, it’s not a ‘voice’ but a ‘text’ 

Shu: Aa, the commenting function? 

Kanata: Yes, everyone says ‘Nice!’ and keeps cheering me on

When that happens my chest gets ‘warm’, the same way when everyone is on stage for a ‘live’

Not everyone likes ‘Nice-P~’ but it’s not like I dislike him, it’s just ‘normal’

But I like the ‘fans’ that are ‘here’ for us 

Shu: …..

Kanata: The people sending ‘Nice!’ over to Shu have probably been watching over you all along, don't you think so? 

Shu: Speaking of which….during the Sailing Ceremony, you were also up there alongside with everyone else and their support

The result was facing it head on leading to the stage at the end.

Kanata: It’s not just all unpleasant things here…there’s a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ thing here for everyone 

It’s not surprising that you want to do your best for ‘Mademoiselle’ and your ‘fans’

Shu: …..

…..I still dislike it. This environment doesn’t allow you to be yourself. 

Kanata: ...Yes is that so. I won’t ask you to do the ‘impossible’ but I want Shu to move as Shu ‘wants’ to during this week

Shu: …Your words have left an impact in the corner of my heart 

Kanata: Fufufu…..♪ Just that is enough for me, Shu

Oh? Right, even though I partnered with you. Is it okay for Shu not to be with Mii-san? 

Shu: Ah, it’s alright Kagehira and I aren’t able to compete together anyways we are on separate teams.

Kanata: Is that so? It’s only Tetora who’s not on the same ‘team’ as us, I hope he doesn’t get lonely…?

Shu: Well, even if me and Kagehira were placed on the same team. I doubt we would have been able to work hard together.

Kanata: Huh? Are you sure? Do you think he’s trying his best?

Shu: I’m not sure. Kagehira is no different from me, he seems to be showing a lot of resentment too.

Because I often show my emotions openly, the people around me must have noticed by now. 

Kanata: Shu is ‘hysteric’ right? (idk if this is right)

Shu: How annoying. Don’t call me that outwardly, keep your mouth shut. 

Kagehira doesn’t enjoy the twenty four hour livestream occurrence Nice-P is exhibiting, it shows an idol's emotional vulnerability

Partly due to ‘little girls’ planning, there must have been a lot of idols liking it…Even so, the concept of Mega Sphere is abnormal.

Souma: I also wished to participate with Hasumi-dono or Kiryu-dono yet I am here shoulder to shoulder with you waiting for our turn to run!?

Ibuki: Nyahaha, understood~ Kanzaki-san, life is just unpredictable~?

Souma: No, there’s nothing strange, it’s just your fault. 

Yuuta: Haa…why am I here with this guy…

Rinne-senpai since you forced me to be your partner, you understand what happens if we both lose? 

Honestly, I'd be better with my brother here. 

Rinne: It’s okay, it's okay. Because I’ve got a trick up my sleeve to increase our winning chances

Yuuta: Secret strategies~? I can’t trust you at all…..

Rinne: Then just leave it to me, even so the winning chance depends on our opponents…so who’s it going to be?

Raika: Uh, Esu-sama? Do you think it was a good idea for me partnering up with you in this competition? 

When Esu-sama asked me to partner up, Yume-sama hugged me from behind 

Now that I think of it, wasn’t that sad of me? I’m sure I hurt Yume-san’s feelings..

Esu: No, no, no, no!? No matter how hard we try, you can’t go first place together! 

Yume is on the other team, so Me, Raika and Kanna are here on the white bunny team to win together

And didn’t you just see while he was hugging you!? 

He was trying to grab the same color bunny ears as mine from Raika by choking you from behind, I stopped him just in time!

Raika: Ehhh!? I was almost disqualified without knowing that easily!? 

Esu: Yep. Be careful from now on~ Raika be cautious of Yume! 

Raika: It feels like a punishment for being cautious of Yume-san…! That’d be hard to do he’s like an angel~♪

Esu: Are you ill!? 

Raika: Eh, I was suffering from an illness!? Since when..? Oh, that’s right~ Esu-sama your such a good doctor~

Esu: I’m an idol!? 

Yuuta: It seems like Esu-kun and Raika-kun will be running with us 

Rinne: Oh~ These guys are perfect for my secret plan, with them this should be easy! 

Yuuta, when you start run over to them on purpose

Yuuta: Run with them side by side? Why go out of our way to do this? We can take the lead, we don't need to run side by side with them. What are you going to do when you lose because of that? 

Rinne: If we deliberately run side by side with them it reduces our chances of losing, hey lend me your ear for a bit

Yuuta: …..? 

Tori: [On your marks, ok~ay…done!]

(Ugh~ Just because we’re short on staff I didn’t think that the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ would have to put up with these tasks for the competition. If I knew that I wouldn’t have participated.)

(Huh, what's next?)

(Esu and Raika, Amagi-senpai and Yuta? Why are they teaming up? It’s weird but it doesn’t really matter who you team up with) 

[On your marks, ok~ay, …done!]

Esu: Let’s go, Raika! 

Raika; Yes!

Esu and Raika: One, two, one, tw-

Rinne and Yuuta: One, two, one, two

Rinne: Yes, let’s get next to these guys! 

Yuuta: Yes yes, we’ll move on to the next step of Rinne-senpai’s strategy 

Esu: (Huh? Why are these guys coming next to us? Are they going to tag along with us!?) 

Rinne: Ok~ay! Then, we’ll do it now! 

Esu and Raika: One, two, one, tw-

Rinne: Five, Six, Three, Four, Two, Seven, One, Eight

Raika: Eh, eh, One, Six….That’s not it. Two, Seven? Ehh…? Eight…

Esu: This is bad! Raika is getting confused! 

Raika: Uweh! I don’t understand between this shouting…!? 

Esu: Don’t get fooled~! No, don’t use your head to count the numbers! Our tempo is falling behind, wah!? 

Raika: Gyahh..! 

Esu: That hurts. How funny…damn it! I was beaten~, Raika, are you okay?

Rinne: Alr~ight! Operation, success! Hurry, let's speed up and finish quickly! 

Yuuta: Ye~s♪  

Kohaku: …..

Is it really okay for our leader to win with a scummy strategy? 

Himeru: —It did not block the opponent’s path, therefore it did not interfere with the rules. They were just saying numbers from the sideline.

To neutralize an opponent without hindering…Only Amagi would win first in being evil, but his tactic is definitely clever 

Chitose: Anzu-san, thank you for working so hard

Maybe it’s because Nice-san announced a reward, it’s been exciting around here for the first time 

Who’s at the top now? 

Ah, Amagi-san and Yuuta Aoi are in first place, and Hinata Aoi-san is in second place 

Wow, I can understand the two due to the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ but having both Aoi’s in first and second they must be amazing, unlike me. 

Um, So the team in last place is…Shinkai-san and Itsuki-san’s team? 

30 Minutes Ago

Tori: [On your marks, ok~ay…done!

Kanata: Now, let’s go~ O~ne, two~, o~ne~♪

Shu: Ka, Kanata! You’re stronger than you look, so don’t drag me along! 

Kanata: O~ne, two~, o~ne~! T his is fun~, Shu ♪

Shu: This isn’t fun in the slightest bit! That’s why I’m telling you not to drag me! How dangerous! 

Kanata: Okay, th~en ♪

Shu: THEN…!? GYAAA!?

Kanata: Shu, are you okay? You need to jump over the high hurdle or it can be ‘dangerous’ y’know? 

Shu: …How pathetic. Why am I here…

And it’s not even just a two-legged race but we have to wear bunny ears and with hurdles included, you didn’t have to raise the difficulty that much.

If I could just choose to participate or not in each competition, I'd just skip and watch this ‘Two-legged Bunny Race’

Even if I chose to just sit and observe, my bunny ears are going to be confiscated and I’ll face the penalty. 

It’s too early to drop out this race when I don't know what could come next 

In that case, I’ll have to participate in this 

Since I’m going all out on this I need to earn some points, but I should pair up with someone important 

What to do…..

MeruMeru and Kohaku-chan are on the other team, Niki said he was hungry and doesn’t want to participate in the ‘Two-legged Bunny Race’ 

(Someone’s physical ability, breathing rate and rhythm are more important here instead of having speed in this two-legged race)

Does someone like that here exist? 

…Hm? Is that…?

Yuuta: Huh~? Where did Aniki go? He needs to hurry or the ‘Two-legged Bunny Race’ entry will be closed…! (aniki = hinata)

It was my older brother who said if we teamed up, we’d without a doubt come first! 

Rinne: Yoyoyo ♪ Yuta-ku~n ♪

Yuuta: Ugh. What is it, Rinne-senpai? Please don’t talk in a creepy-cat like voice, it gives me the creeps. 

Rinne: C’mon, don't say that. Yuuta, you’re also going to be in the two-legged race, right? 

Yuuta: Yeah, I am. That’s why I need to look for my brother…

Rinne: —Ye~s! Our interests align with one another, from now, Yuuta and I will be comrades till death do us part! 

Yuuta: Whaat!? With you? No way! 

Rinne: C’mon, don’t be so shy! Let’s go to the entry start together! Yuuta you're so lucky you have the best teammate here! 

Yuuta: I am not shy! You’re talking crazy! Hey, don’t take me with you~!? Let me go~! Hey, listen~! 

Rinne: Hey, hey, hey, now, don’t use up your energy before the competition starts, use this energetic spirit in the race and for sure you’ll come first! 

Koga: “The right to obtain anything you want from below”...? 

(I can’t just sit around like this, no matter what I got to be chosen for the ‘Six Selection’ and bring my guitar from down there!)

Anyone~.....Is there anyone who could be the perfect partner for me!? 

Rei: Oh? Koga is looking around restlessly…

…Now, I’m also looking for a partner to participate with together

Kukuku ♪ I can’t help it if it’s to help my beloved friend, I guess I’ll just have to.

O~i, Koga~---

Keito: ……

Koga: Ah! Shit—No, wait I mean,

Keito: I praise you for correcting yourself just in time, do you need something Oogami? 

Koga: Are you going to participate in the two-legged race? 

Keito: Ah, I was thinking of just watching the current situation as of now, there’s no need to rush

Koga: Don’t talk like an old man, first you gotta’ participate to warm up for the other events. In that case, we should do this together! Right? 

Keito: You just want to win, right?

Why choose me, why don’t you team up with someone from your unit? Isn’t Sakuma on the same team as us? 

Koga: Nope. He skips morning jogging making up a bunch of excuses, a body that resembles that of an old man won’t be a useful fighting force. 

If I’m with Hasumi-senpai there’s no physical issues, you’re also cooperative, yeah? 

Isn’t that good enough? We won’t fall back, please cooperate with me

Keito: …..

Oh well, if you say all that, there’s no reason as to why I shouldn’t be with you. 

Koga: Of course, Shitty glasses can understand the situation! 

Keito: Do you want to take back what you just said? 

Koga: Well, well well, you can’t blame me, let’s head to the entry right now! 

Keito: Good grief, just don’t use a vulgar nickname relating to my glasses

Ibuki: There you are~ Hasumi-sa~n! Do the two-legged race with me! 

Keito: What? Taki, did you want to do it with me? 

Forgive me, I’m going to participate with Oogami…

Koga: Oh~, Sorry bout’ that. Looks like you were just one step late

Ibuki: Eh!? What do you mean!? 

Oogami-san is from UNDEAD, right? I think it would be better if he just teamed up with someone else from UNDEAD! Why did you choose Hasumi-san huh? It’s weird~

Koga: It’s not like there’s a rule where you have to team up with someone from your own unit~, so it’ll be okay

I have to win no matter what~ I can’t afford to mess this up

The guy I wanted to team up with is on the other team, and I can’t rely on Sakuma-senpai even though we’re on the same team. Hasumi-senpai is the most reliable person in this case

Hasumi-senpai let’s go hurry up and enter, it’ll be bad if it entry closed

Keito: Taki, sorry. Kiryu and Kanzaki are also on the black bunny team, please go pair up with one of them.

Ibuki: Fuu~ehh, I just got dumped~! 

Rei: —”A body of that of an old man won’t be able to fight”!? 

What a shock~! What a shock~! I didn’t know Koga looked down on me like that…! Those who aren’t kind to the elderly will eventually cry for the elderly

Or rather, I’m not an old man in a nursing home just yet! I’m a young man who can afford to participate in a one or two-legged race…! 

Ritsu: Wow, I was wondering who was shouting over here so shamelessly, I thought it was just my brother but now it’s just a stranger 

Rei: Ah, My sweet brother, Richu~♪

After all, my only ally here is Ritsu….! Together we’ll show everyone what the bond of two brothers can do! 

Ritsu: There’s no way that’s happening. You and I, we’re just strangers passing by, see you later.

Rei: Aaa! Rich~u! 

Hinata: Eeeh~! Why is Yuuta-kun pairing up with Rinne-senpai of all people!? 

I was supposed to team up with Yuuta!? 

Yuuta-ku~n! Don’t leave me~!

Rei: Richu~! Please don’t leave me~! 

Hinata: …..

Rei: …..

Hinata: …Did Ritsu-senpai also run away from you? 

Rei: Yes I believe so. What a cruel world…

Hinata: Do you just want to pair up with each other? 

Rei: Mhm. We’ll defeat all our competitors. This is revenge! We’ll take our revenge against this competition that hurt our hearts…..! 

Hinata: That’s right! Let’s do this! 

Hajime: Ehehe ♪ I feel so used to having these ears on

Tomoya; Were so lucky everyone in Ra*bits are on the white bunny team, we can work together like this

Nazuna: That’s right when I’m with you guys, im confident in my abilities and can do my best ♪ We’ve been used to training together for so long~

Tomoya; That’s right! Now that we're all on the same team, let's work hard and aim for the “Six Songs Selection’!

Nazuna and Tomoya: Hurray!~☆

Hajime and Mitsuru: Oo~☆

Shu: Hmph. They have it easy.

Mitsuru: Oh? Oshi-san-senpai, Mika-chan-senpai, hello!

Mika: Hello, it looks like a picture of white, yer’ all wearin’ white bunny ears

Hajime: That;s right, we usually wear bunny-themed clothing so it feels normal

Ah, the color of the ear’s you two are holding…

Did Valkyrie end up being split up? Dont feel lonely..

Mika: That’s right now I’m lonely and heart broken

Shu: It does not matter if Kagehira and I are separated or on the same team, it’s ridiculous to participate and care about this event in the first place. (shu is coping so hard)

Mika: Nnh~ Oshi-san yer’ speakin’ sharply again~ 

Nazuna: What do you want? Did you come here just to pick a fight? you must be really bored.

Actually, why is Itsuki so angry?

Shu: Angry…? Why wouldn't I be? I’m locked up in a place like this and now I’m being forced to do these weird things, it’s not strange to be irritated. 

Rather, it’s hard to comprehend why you’re so accepting of these circumstances

Isn’t it so foolish to blindly accept the conditions of the environment we’re currently in and participate in this? 

Nazuna: Ion’ really mind, true it was surprising when I first came here but living here, im getting used to it.

Shu: So unfortunate you have a simple thought process! 

Nazuna: Don’t complain to us~ If you don’t wanna participate in the athletic meet, ya can just go do whatever you want

We ‘Ra*bits’ are motivated to do our best with everyone here, we don't need you raining down on us

Or if you really don’t want to participate just take off the bunny ears as soon as the match begins? 

You’ll just have to say ‘Pyon’ at the end off your words

Shu: It’s unnecessary to dwell on this, the penalty is meaningless to me.

Mika: Eh, Oshisan, but when I said ‘pyon’ earlier you got so angry wit’ me, didn’t ya? 

Ah ... .finally, I was so stressed out that I hadta’ add ‘pyon’ to mah’ sentences!?

Nnnah~ I like Oshi-san, but I dont wanna see an oshi-san who jumps alot

Shu: Quit that short-sighted foolishness thinking right now, when I said it was meaningless I did not refer to the penalty functionality. 

Mika: Eh, whadya mean by that? 

Shu: Even if you do get penalized, you are able to just shut up and choose not to speak until the time limit, correct? 

Nazuna: Uuwaah! Great thinking!? Can you really do somethin’ like that~? 

Shu: It’s not that special, It’s simply just taking advantage of the loophole in these penalties? It’s not a great idea leaving openings in these restrictions 

Mika: Ah, I see. Oshi-san, earlier when ya’ heard the penalty you got so angry but now yer’ all calmed down. Pretty strange, right? 

Comin’ up with a loophole like that, and suddenly calmin’ down.

Nice: Now, let’s talk about the awards regarding the Bunny Sport’s Day, alright? 

Tomoya: Eh, rewards? There weren’t any at the Sailing Ceremony? Why now? 

Nice: Speaking of sports day, usually there’s an award to encourage your spirits. 

This time, I need everyone to be serious and prepared several additional rewards for those who happen to be selected in the ‘Six Songs Selection’ for the [Athletic Atmos]

Subaru: An award for the athletic atmos, so you mean like a trophy or something? 

Mao: I wouldn’t want a trophy for some weird event known as the Bunny Sports Festival.

Hokuto: Since one of the rewards is carrot cake, could it be the encouraging award is Lievre à la royale? 

Makoto: What even is that…? 

Nice: “The reward..” Is the right to allow anything you want from below! 

Hajime: Huh!? If I get selected for the ‘Six Songs Selection’ I can bring my favorite tea seat from the ground!? 

Mitsuru: Uwaa~ I wanna bring my favorite running shoes~! Without those, I can’t be in my best shape! 

Nazuna: Though pets aren't allowed in the Megasphere, it’d be impossible to bring my rabbit, but I could set up a camera to see him as a reward…

Mika: ……

The moment a reward is announced, everybody’s gettin’ excited

Nnnh~, what is this, the more this happens, the more I don’t like it…..

Anzu-chan, what’re you thinkin’? It’s like she’s lurin’ everybody with things, dontcha’ agree Oshi-san? 

Shu: “The right to obtain anything you want from below…” 

Mademoiselle can be brought here from Earth..!? 

Mika: Oshi-san, pull yer’ self together~ Mado-nee is important but ya’ can just wait fer’ a month and you’ll be able to meet her again, yea? 

If you let yer’self be controlled by them like this, you’ll be used so they can gain benefit

Shu: …..

Nice: Now, The Bunny Sports Day is about to commence, everyone I need you to wear your ears.

The first event is…’Two-legged Bunny Race!’

Nnna~, I woulda’ liked to be on the same team as Oshi-san. If I could I’d be able to participate in the race for Oshi-san

Shu: There is no need for that and there’s no issue with us being on different teams, Kagehira

Mika: Huh? What do you mean?

Nice: Ah~ Ah~ Mic test, mic test

Good morning gentlemen! A clear blue sky and white clouds! The more sunny the greater it is for a sports day! 

Then, now I will explain the Bunny Sports Day race rules

Those participating were randomly sorted into Black Bunny and White Bunny teams, it is a rule to be involved

The team that wins each round, their “Nice!” will be doubled, so it’s better to do your best and win! 

Does everyone have bunny ears now? The color of the ears determine your team

From this point on you will be participating in different competitions, but when it comes to team competitions you can only pair up with people from the same team 

If you lose your ears during these rounds, you will be disqualified. If an idol is disqualified they’ll lose the prize of a carrot cake

Mitsuru: Can I still get cake even if I’m disqualified!? 

Uwaaa~♪ Even when I’m disqualified, what a great deal~!

Tomoya: Don’t take off your ears on purpose? Mitsuru?

Mitsuru: Obviously I wont do that~

I’m happy about the carrot cake but even better it's about running! I wont lose to anyone~

Shu: This is cheating with children. It’s not sweet enough for me to fall for something like that. 

Well, it’s okay. Continuing what I was saying before, there is no problem with us being on separate teams, yes? 

Mika: Yeah, Oshi-san still I dont get it? Even when I think about this it just doesn't make sense

Shu: That’s why you’re still a sweet one.

There’s no need to participate in such a silly race in the first place. If you just remove your ears from the beginning and get disqualified, isn't it a good idea? 

That way, if you’re disqualified you don't need to participate

But still it’s annoying to be labelled disqualified

Mika: Eh? Oshi-san, that's what a ‘sly person/fool’ does, don't they? 

Shu: ‘Sly/fool?’ It’s not like there’s anything wrong for doing it in a situation like this. I was forcibly brought here as if I'm placed in house arrest. Idiot there’s no need for me to be obliging the rules here

Mika: I see~ That’s true, we’ve been forced to stay here and forced to do these things

Shu: That’s right. 

Nice: Aa, right. I haven’t told you all the penalty yet

If you sabotage your own participation in this Bunny Sports Day or purposefully disqualify yourself by removing your bunny ears..

As a penalty, when you come on the [Mega Stream] you must end your sentences with ‘pyon!’

Shu: Huh….!

Mika: ‘Pyon!’ at the end of yer’ sentences…? That’s a cute penalty 

Hey Oshi-san, what’re you gonna do? If you lose on purpose now yer’ gonna face the penalty, yea? Are you okay?

Is it said like this? I have an accent so I’m not sure, ‘pyon!’

Shu: Kagehira shut that mouth up right now! If you choose to say any more childish things I’ll sew your lips together! Okay!? 

Then I’ll take out a portion of your brain and fill it with pins and needles! 

It’d be perfect for someone like you, who lacks intelligence! Just like scarecrow from the Wizard Of Oz! KaKaKaKa! 

Mika: (Hnnn~...Oshi-san seems very excited…)

(It’s a bit frustratin’, I don’t really want to participate…)

(I wonder if Oshi-san’s stress will increase more and more and he’ll become more strange?)

(I got a bad feelin’...and I don't like it. Nice-P and Anzu-chan..)

(it’s a good idea havin’ a back up route for people not wantin’ to participate and force them)

Nice: The ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ will be given the opportunity to continue participating even if their ears are gone

The competition will go for three days!

The top three ranking idols from each team will be selected as members apart of the ‘Six Poems’

It will also be the closing ceremony song for the ‘Athletic Atmos’ 

Subaru: How do I look? Do my ears look good on me? 

Mao: Hah~ Subaru you give off the image of a dog but a bunny is also works 

Subaru: Sarii~ it looks nice on you too♪

Oh. Sarii and me are together on the white bunny team 

Hokuto: Yuki, are you and I both on the black bunny team? 

Mao: We’ve been beautifully divided into pairs~ Well, it was random so it can’t be helped

Makoto; The other units have also been split up into smaller units

It’ll be hard to fight against other members of our units as enemies when we're all friends. 

Subaru: Alright~ I wont lose to Hokke~ or Ukki~! Be careful!

Makoto: There’s merciless people hiding in our unit! Akehoshi-kun, let’s slow down a little.

Subaru: The game feels energetic when rivalry is serious

But I’m still hoping Hokke~, Ukki~ and Sarii~ also make it to the ‘Six Poem’s selection

Hokuto: You’re having too much fun cheering like that. 

Kagehira: Eh, which wood to bring? Uh, um~...Oh this one, yes! 

Shu: Non! Too slow! You move like a slowpoke!

Kagehira: Sorry Oshi-san~ This place has too much waste lyin’ around so I dunno which to get 

Hearin’ Oshi-san curse at me is nostalgic, reminds me of the handi-craft club. 

Nnnh, Oshi-san? I’m happy Oshi-san is outside, but why don' t ya’ take a break? Haven’t  ya’ been workin’ on this for a while

Shu: Madomoiselle, what do you think of this? The curve of this wood depicts beauty! It’s wonderful! It’s admirable of you, my love! 

Aaa, Madomoiselle. Just leave it all to me, you’ll feel better in no time 

Mika: Oshi-sa, are ya’ listenin’? 

Arashi: Oh..? Mika-chan you look thrilled, are you doing a DIY project? 

Mika: Ah, Naru-chan

Arashi: It’s a good idea, Ever since you guys were brought here, ‘Oshi-san’ has been cold to you since then, right? At least he’s starting to feel better

Mika: Hmm, what should I do~? He’s still actin’ a bit strange

Arashi: Really? He still looks healthy 

Mika: No, he’s fine, it's just his behaviour is strange…..

He’s usin’ the wood waste around this construction area and suddenly said he was gonna make a huge 3-D object and has been goin’ since then without a break 

Somehow, it’s remindin’ me of Oshi-san durin’ our time in Yumenosaki

Arashi: Well.

Mika: I dont really like Megasphere since Oshi-san has been left in this state but now he’s just makin’ a Mado-nee

Ironically, Oshi-san' s been gettin’ more and more “Nice!” 

And he’s been talkin’ to himself this whole time, I can’t really hear most of it

Arashi: We~ll, You’re worried about him, aren't you? I heard there’s a doctor here. Why don't you two go see him? 

Shu: It's noisy over here, fools! You don’t know my noble objective, so don’t go labelling me crazy without permission! 

Arashi: Oh my, it’s you Itsuki-senpai

Shu: I just don't choose to speak with you because I am not obliged to answer you. Don't speak nonsense and Kagehira, move your hands more than your mouth. Bring more wood over here.

Mika: Um…well I guess okay? 

Nnnh~ No, I want ta’ whine about this to Anzu-chan

Because of Anzu-chan’s plan, Oshi-san is now actin’ weird and was left in this situation. 

Mika and Shu: …Huh?

Arashi: This sound…Oh, it’s the official opening

Ah, its showing on the huge monitor over there

Mika: Before, it was just Anzu-chan. But now just Nice is speakin’ 

Shu: Kagehira! I do not want to see that man's face! A face for sore eyes! 

Nice: “[Mega Stream] Official Live Broadcast, [Nice Stream!] 

Oh? Is this the first time you’ve heard the official live broadcast title? 

Fufu, this is official live streaming, isn’t it great? I even gave it a title~♪

Hello, everyone who is watching the Nice Stream! This is Nice Arneb Thunder

How was the [Sailing Ceremony] from the other day? 

Yeah, I see a lot of your comments.

Hmm, thank you! It seems alot of you enjoyed it~♪

Today I’ll explain the new special episode of the second week on the [Mega Stream]

In the [Sailing Ceremony], not every idol got to participate. As the main organizer I am sincerely sorry for that

That's why we thought ... .How can there exist a project where both the participants and viewers enjoy together…

I’m going to announce it here now.

The name of the next special is [Athletic Atmos!]

From now on, tomorrow till the weekend, there’ll be an all-in-one competition which will decide the ‘Six Songs Collection’

Hm? There’s a few questions here in the comments…”Isnt this just athletics?”

Fufu, the answer is no. It wouldn’t be as fun as entertainment 

In this athletic race, all idols will dress up as adorable bunnies and split up into two teams to compete

It’ll be a “Great Bunny Sports Day” where everyone will put on bunny ears instead of bows! 

Fufu, the comments have increased alot, the chat speed is so fast I cant even read it with my eyes. I understand the excitement very well! 

Idols will turn into rabbits and jump around this world up in the sky, its worthy of the Mega sphere! 

For all the viewers, for the love of all the idols, root for them and enjoy their new looks! 

Arashi: ….I think it’s over now. Yet another amazing project again

Mika: Hmm…I dont know about amazing…

In other words does this mean everyone will hafta’ be forced to join in this special sports day with bunny ears? 

Shu: This, this, this….

Mika: Oshi-san, what's wrong? Ya’ sound like a chick chirpin’...

Are you praticin’ yer’ imitation skills? I think it’s similar enough…..♪

Shu: THIS, LITTLE GIRLLLLLL! 

KAGEHIRA! Bring that little girl over here right now, make the right choice and bring her!

I am going to have a word with that little girl right now! Today I put on some moxibustion so I am not in the mood! 

Mika: U-uwaah!? Its dangerous throwin’ around wood like that! It’s just like the cloth and sewin’ tools!

…Oh no, Oshi-san is devastated…! 

Oshi-san, just calm down fer’ a moment~?

I feel so regretful leaving you on Earth! It’s so painful being cut off!

Where are you!? Where are you, Madomoiselle? I want you to show me yourself!

Madomoiselle: I'm here, Shu-kun.

Shu: Woah!? M-madomoiselle…?

I haven't seen you in a while, you grew a lot didn't you? I didn't expect you to be as tall as a building, or like an ancient god statue?

Well, Madomoiselle is still cute no matter what she looks like

Madomoiselle: I don't care much for my appearance. More importantly, you haven't gathered any “Nice!” at all, Shu-kun?

Shu: “Nice!”!? What are you talking about Madomoiselle?

What's the point of accumulating such huge numbers without clear purpose? It's nothing but meaningless and worthless activities a person could do.

Don’t you think it’s something you should dance for, for something like that?

Madomoiselle: No. In this world it's “Nice!” That's all. “Nice!” Build the world and “Nice!” will bring salvation. That is the absolute truth of this world. 

Shu: What on Earth are you saying!?

Why, Madomoiselle…! You were the only one who understood me!?

Madomoiselle: No, Shu-kun. I’m just “Nice!”, a messenger who was sent to you. 

This is a reborn world where “Nice!” rules it all.

Shu: Madoimoselle…! No way, no way…

Madomoiselle: Shu-kun, see it like this,

“Nice!” goes to any work, yes? View it as art being judged and numbered allowing to get better and better. 

Shu: This universe…This vast universe is being dominated by numbers

Stop this, Madomoiselle…! This is nothing but blasphemy against life, a world with no philosophy, historical genealogy or aesthetic benefit! 

I will not accept this sort of world!

—Hah..!?

Ha….Ha…Where am I..? 

…..Oh, right. I will never get used to this room no matter how long it takes. Aren’t we just on a floating piece of metal? Disgusting

So what occurred earlier was a dream..?

What a nightmare that was. Oh, horrible, horrible, horrible…! 

…..No. I can’t even call it a dream.

She just might be feeling overwhelmed and resentful that I’m trapped here in a place like this and couldn't rush by to Mademoiselle's side. I don't know..

This is serious. Right now wherever she is, I must comfort a woman's heart…!

Mika: Hii, fuu, mii…

Yup. This is enough fer’ now. Oshi-san said ta’ have a smaller meal

I hope ya can eat this croissant and cheer up. Ever since ya’ came to the Megasphere you’ve been in a real bad mood but yer’ gettin’ better day by day

It’d be better if Mado-nee was here, but now were trapped up here in the sky and I cant go ta’ see her 

Oshi-san, I'm baaackkk. I brought back Oshi-san’s favorite croissant, I bought it from the—

Gyaa!? 

Shu: Ah, Madomoiselle, madomoiselle. I must comfort her heart at once

Mika: Nhh, Oshi-san. Ya’ suddenly just came out the door I was about ta’ hit my head against it~

Ah, Oshi-san yer’ suddenly energetic enough ta go out? 

That’s good, I was worried–

Huh, Oshi-san? Where are ya goin’?

“In this world of Megasphere, wether getting a ‘Nice!’ or not, allows that point of view. On the contrary, it depends on how you act”

“Other than that, there’s a lot of beautiful things in this world.”

The Day After The Closing Of The [Sailing Ceremony]. In the Producer Room

Nice: ……

—So close.

It’s really such a pity…..!

Chitose: Nice, what are you watching?

Oh? The archive of the [Mega Stream] from the other day?

I’m sorry for being rude and looking at what you’re watching without permission

There was a possibility Nice-San could have been watching something else in secret.

Nice: I’m curious as to what you’re thinking about what I was watching….. well it’s okay.

It doesn’t matter Tsuzura-kun it’s not something I’m hiding

Chitose: This person….isn’t it Shu Itsuki of Valkyrie? You were watching him?

Nice: Yes, Tsuzura-kun, what do you think of him?

Chitose: Huh? Um well, I’m not sure

Nice: Don’t just say “I’m not sure” think about it now. That spinal reflex, I’m sure not even I can do that

(t/n i think hes referring to Chitose posture or shu idk)

I’m worried the only words in your vocabulary are “I’m sorry” and “I don’t know”

Chitose: Eh? What do you mean? I don’t know sometimes understanding what Nice-san wants is a bit hard

Nice: Anyways, originally I was planning on having Shu Itsuki arrive as one of the “Four Heavenly Kings”. I was recommended to him by Hibiki-kun.

Chitose: Oh, really

But why Itsuki-San?

Ah, of course, Itsuki-San shouldn’t not become one of the Four Heavenly Kings….

But since you didn’t agree on it, what does Nice-san think?

Nice: Hmm yeah that’s right

There are idols units who make most of their artistic skills like Valkyrie, and idols who focus on art have been rising recently

So they usually tend to stay away from entertainment industries like [Mega Stream]

So I thought that if Itsuki-kun who is influenced by art was one of the “Four Heavenly Kings”, he would get other idols to join [Mega Stream]

However, it didn’t go as planned Itsuki-kun has locked himself up in his room and refused to show up to anything this week

But he came out from time to time looking back on the archive you can see it briefly.

Chitose: Nice-san he must dislike you or he hates this whole Megasphere idea

Nice: It’s sad to accept something like this, i can’t really do anything

In the production of ‘Mellow Dear’, I think I deeply understand now why it’s popular

However, the knowledge of these idols who put to use their artistic nature is little

If there were a leader fot the idol units who use artistry were named, Valkyrie would be mentioned

If Valkyrie were given that popularity that has been cultivating for many years…

I Hope to become a idol can fight equally or better than those other units overseas led by ‘Mellow Dear’

Chitose: Um, I don’t really understand

In other words does Nice-san want the idols to fight against eachother? I think it’s a bad idea it’ll be like poison—

Nice: Both poison and selection ranking are the same. To be at the top, competition will have to happen.

Of course the idol who stands at the top will be the best idol

……Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you lately Anzu-chan, have you been doing work?

Chitose: Oh, she wanted to fix up the project she was working on so I was told to leave it alone. I believe it’s why she’s been locked up in her room until now

Nice: Planning….right, it’ll be a weekend special for this second week

Huh? Oh were you saying something? What is it? We’re you making a proposal?

If it’s completed then can you show me?

Chitose: Oh, um can I see it too?

Nice: Of course, why ask. You have the right to see it. Well, show me right away

Chitose: Wow, it’s an amazing proposal

Nice: Agreed. They have worked really hard on it.

Although it’s a nice project idea…is it okay to go through with?

It looks like we’ll be baiting idols like fish…

…..Huh?

I See, Anzu-chan you’re also worried about that?

Certainty with the way things are now, there won’t be a home for idols in the future

I can feel you made this proposal to prevent that from happening

Chitose: I’m sure it will succeed Anzu-chan

It’s a very interesting project
