FEELING LUCKY!

What a kind girl she was! Eichi couldn’t hold back a soft chuckle. She was worried that he might faint? Ah, then he really must look a little exhausted. He would have to take it easy before his uni members would notice. As long as he wasn’t starting to cough it should be fine, or so he thought. Pushing himself too far became a common thing for him to do.

“You really are kind. I assure you that I’m not going to faint. I’m doing fine~” he smiled and put his hand over his heart. Outside Yumenosaki barely anyone knew about his condition, it wasn’t that he tried to hide it, there was just no need to make things public.

“Yes, that is Wataru.” Eichi chuckled, nodding a little. “Indeed, he is very interesting. Even I can’t stop watching him in excitement once he started with his tricks. I always wonder how it is possible to hide so many things without anyone noticing it.” Even Eichi couldn’t figure this out, as much as he would love to know.

It wasn’t made public which units were helping, so he was happy to help. As the student council president he always was informed about most things, as long as he was able to attend school. Seeing her this happy was contagious, he just couldn’t stop smiling. She was so innocent and sweet, she reminded him a bit of an baby bird exploring the world for the first time with it’s own wings. “You should visit them. I am sure Nito-kun and rest will be happy to meet you.”

She was very kind, Eichi started to be fond of her more and more. Maybe he should contact Nazuna and ask him to spend some time with her.

When she extended her hand Eichi took it gratefully and shook it gently. “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Andou-san. I do wish you enjoy the rest of day as well.”

‘‘Lately, there are a lot of idols who faints, i’m just a little worried.” working is good, but overworking is always a problem. Even when she is not  a fan, worrying other people as humans is fine right?

“Please don’t over work yourself! You know you can die because of overworking!” and it’s not even that rare to see people die because of overworking in Tokyo. Quite often she sees it on the news, and this is the first time that she ever seen an idol who looks very tired ,maybe almost fatigue after a performance.

“Hmm, maybe he’s Houdini!” she laughed, pointing that for Eichi. “ Most magicians would never tell their secrets! That’s a bit unfair, don’t you think so? It would be nice if they share it !”

“M-Maybe i’ll visit them later...,” her pink, peony cheeks turns red.She is always nervous whenever she had to meet and talk to the Ra*bits members. Aside from being awkward, she is also embarrassed that they would see her up close in this condition.

Tomoya couldn’t help but feeling happy, proud even, knowing that their songs would help her to somehow. He couldn’t feel more happy. This must be shared with the rest of his unit! Definitely! As soon as he would meet them again at school he would tell them everything about it, about her!

How could he not tell her that she’s cute? Obviously she’s a very cute person and so nice to talk to! It was rare for Tomoya to meet someone who made him feel comfortable after such an short time.

“I’m glad you say that!” Tomoya chuckled softly. “Then I will give the handkerchief to nii-chan, Hajime-kun and Mitsuru tomorrow in school.” And maybe he could give her just a little more, as a thanks for being their fan. But for that he would have to ask Nazuna first.

Though, when she offered to give him her contact info he shook his head. Not because he didn’t want to but because it wasn’t allowed to accept. “Better not. I appreciate your offer, Naomi-san but I’m not allowed to accept.”

He blinked a little confused when she laughed but soon a smile came back to his face. “Really? A-Actually I’m not different from being on stage, haha. But I’m happy you say that. It’s very nice to talk to you too.”

It’s a little bit embarrassing to share that story to an idol. Especially exposing it to the idol that she really admires in a very short time. SHe is happy since Tomoya is really friendly.

Despite being older and a popular idol. 

She chuckles slightly. It’s always been cute when the other members of Ra*bits called Nazuna with ‘nii chan’. They really look like his kids more than members of the same group.

“T-Thank you so much, Tomoya-san!” 

She displayed a big smile after that. This is really her happiest day in her life! And it does heal her in a way.

“Ah I see..” She is a bit dissappointed, but she understands. After all there’s a line between a fan and an idol. “ That’s okay!!! I understand!”

   “ are you sure? your cheeks are getting a little red there… “

    he stared at the young girl, a worried expression on his face. he almost wanted to put a hand to her forehead to make sure she wasn’t running a fever, what with the reddened cheeks and all, but that would be a bit inappropriate wouldn’t it? however, he couldn’t help but worry for the girl. after all, it wasn’t particularly cold either, so there’s no way it could be that. unless this girl truly was sick.

    “ well, as long as you say your fine.. ah! it’s fine! i’m used to it, eheh~ “ he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. after all, idols had to be used to being stared at, right? and used to getting attention. it was a normality in this type of career.

“Y-Yes !!! I’m sure!!!”

She doesn’t have to yell but she did anyway. Naomi has always been weak for cute and small things. And seeing Nazuna is pretty much a combination of them, made her ‘weak’. 

“U-Uh...” She takes a deep breath. “ Y-You’re Nito Nazuna-san from Ra*bits right? I’m a big fan!!” 

I should just stop being overly sensitive and emotional over everything. 

“RA*BITS AS ANGELS!!!! Everybody is just so pretty!”

It’s too bad that she couldn’t go swimming anymore. Although it does sound nice. Yes, it’s very nice! 

Hajime relaxed a little. He seems to have gotten away with the lie for now. Still, it gnawed at his insides. He not only lied, but he lied to a fan.

“Actually, I really like to take care of flowers.” Padding out the lie with honesty. I make satchets and teas with them. Being in a garden puts my mind at ease.”

Not only that he looked cute, he does have cute hobby as well! Now she knew that the hobbies are real from the interviews. She chuckles , looking at him who is taking care of the flowers. 

“You have a really cute hobby!” she laughs. “ It really suits you.” 

Her patience didn’t do much to dispel his nerves. It almost made them worse.

Uwaa~ I’m sorry flowers…

There wasn’t much he could do about the bed he already flooded except take extra care in watering the one next to it properly. Being called by his name startled him, letting a bit more water than necessary fill the flowerbed.

“Oh. I, um…” Letting his classmates know about his financial situation was one thing, but he hadn’t thought about how it would effect his image as an idol. He didn’t want to seem pathetic.

“I’m just lending a helping hand! They’re short on staff and wanted some idols to bring in interest!”

She knew how anxiety feels like, and she had suspected that she made him nervous, that’s why she tries to keep talking. Honestly she is no different than him. Meeting her idol is one thing, but looking at him up close, talking with him? 

That’s something which made her very nervous and anxious. Although she feels happy. 

His explanation made her to understand his reasons. Although she won’t judge him if he had told her the truth.  The last question she asked, is purely because of curiosity. She doesn’t know that it might made him to lie.

As she thought that he really is cuter up close than on stage. Naomi is so happy when he accepted her cookies. SHe couldn’t stop smiling, her eyes sparkles. 

“O-Of course!”

She responded, a bit embarrassed. “ I’m a new fan, but i’m trying to support you guys whenever I can!” 

She tilted her head to the side, thinking for a few moments. Maybe she had seen her around before too? But Aika couldn’t remember where…or when. But the idol smiled anyway, she looked like she was a nice person. “Maybe?! If we haven’t, I’m Aika Amachi, BlackJack’s Queen of Hearts! It’s nice to meet you!”
