[Imitation/Chapter 2]
[Nazuna]
(That's not good, I spaced out. I ran into a guest coming out from the auditorium)
[Nazuna]
(I need to be careful, I feel like I'll get pushed away by the crowd, and never reach the auditorium)
[Nazuna]
(If I'm late, master will get mad at me)
[Tomoya]
“Excuse me, I ran into you......a-are you all right? Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going either!”
[Tomoya]
“Aah, don't bow so much please! A-Are you hurt?”
[Hajime]
“What are you doing~, Tomoya-kun?”
[Tomoya]
"Ah, sorry. I ran into someone......that's not good~, I was so moved, I was in a daze."
[Tomoya]
“Since it was so amazing! Especially the lead!”
[Tomoya]
“I can't believe they're human like us, they're not normal! That was a guy, right?”
[Tomoya]
“He was playing a princess though......I'm already smitten! My goddess~♪”
[Hajime]
“E-Enough already, let's go......I feel like we're doing something bad wearing these Yumenosaki Academy uniforms, it's making me nervous.”
[Hajime]
“Nothing about the play stuck in my head at all.”
[Tomoya]
“Ahaha. It's free for students, if we wear the uniform we'll be able to watch the performances for free!”
[Tomoya]
“We’re middle schoolers, if we keep paying for tickets we’ll run out of allowance, right?”
[Tomoya]
“That's why I had a friend of a friend of another friend......make the uniforms for us.”
[Tomoya]
“There are other people here who are trying to blend in with the students like this too.”
[Hajime]
“Just because other people are doing it, doesn't mean we should. Let's make sure to pay, okay?”
[Hajime]
“If a bunch of people watch for free, eventually management is going to catch on, and the checks will become more strict.”
[Hajime]
“If they find out we're impostors, they'll put us on probation, right......?”
[Tomoya]
“Y-Yeah. But I wanted you to have a taste of the same emotional experience, Hajime......Got it, don't make that face, we won't do it again, okay?”
[Tomoya]
“Once we're actually accepted into this school, we'll be able to watch performances with pride all the time.”
[Tomoya]
“Let's do our best~, I'm filled with motivation♪ You'll take the exam with me too, right, Hajime?”
[Hajime]
“Ah, yes. I'll try to do my best, I feel reassured when I'm together with you, Tomoya-kun......♪”
[Tomoya]
“Ahaha. I'm pretty mediocre......so, I have a feeling only you'll be accepted, Hajime.”
[Tomoya]
“It'd be awkward if that happened~, but that sort of feels idol-like♪”
[Tomoya]
“Oops......s-sorry! Please ignore that, excuse us! Hey, Hajime, shall we go~?”
[Hajime]
“W-Wait, Tomoya-kun! I-I don't really understand, but excuse us!”
[Nazuna]
(…...what was with those guys. Middle schoolers? H~m?)
[Nazuna]
(Well, whatever. More importantly, I need to hurry, or I'll really be late)
[Hajime]
“T-They were really pretty, weren't they? I got distracted♪”
[Tomoya]
“Me too......huh, but weren't they wearing a boy's uniform? Wasn't that a girl?”
[Hajime]
“She must have been dressing like a boy. Look, even in that play from earlier, a man played a woman, right?”
[Hajime]
“I wonder if that person will perform on stage next time~?”
[Tomoya]
“Well, in any case, Yumenosaki Academy isn't a drama school......”
[Tomoya]
“It's basically a school to train idols after all. It seems more interesting than I expected~, there's so many strange people♪”
[Tomoya]
“Uwh~, I'm getting pumped! Let's study for the exam when we get home, Hajime♪”
[Hajime]
“Yes, I like studying~ …...this uniform is really well made.”
[Hajime]
“If we're able to pass the test and enroll, we won't need to buy a uniform~♪”
[Hajime]
“It's cheaper than I expected, and since it's close, my commute won't be so long...... I'd be happy if I were able to be accepted into Yumenosaki Academy♪”
[Tomoya]
“If you became an idol, you'd be able to support yourself! You could say farewell to your life of poverty, so let's do our best together......Hajime♪”
[Hajime]
“Yes. Thank you for always thinking of me......Tomoya-kun♪”
[Tomoya]
“It's because I'm such a coward by myself, there's no need to thank me, okay~?”
[Tomoya]
“Aah, I feel sort of light on my feet! I can't wait for our future filled with only fun♪”
