#bsts lico

saki: O-oh, that’s, how do I respond to that…

lico: Hah, you’re so cute when you blush. Though I guess if we were talking about B’s show it’d be pretty rare to see us wagging our tails happily like that. The ‘Daken’ medley we’re performing right now is about a group of strays after all.

The special menu we have available is an assortment of ‘our’ ideas as well. Seeing what the rest of B came up with made me realise once again how thoughtless that lot are. It’s supposed to be a special menu and yet every one of them chose a meat related dish. They don’t understand that women tend to prefer smaller portions.

Rest assured that I properly considered that fact at least. I’m sure you’ll love the dish I chose too.

saki: Fufu, I’m excited to see your performance and try the special menu.

lico: Yeah, look forward to it. Also, I was just thinking— Aren’t I such a good boy for working so hard on the show and menu?

saki: U-uhh… I think you’re amazing for being able to organise everything, yes.

lico: Right? So, that’s why you should pet my head and tell me I’m a good boy.

-lico bends down so saki can reach his head-

saki: What!?

lico: Seeing that owner being so affectionate with their dog made me want you to do the same to me. Or could it be that you don’t like praising me? Would it make my cute owner too embarrassed?

saki: I- I don’t dislike praising you… Ok then…

-saki pets lico’s head-

saki: You’re such a good boy, aren’t you? Lico-san.

lico: …….. (shocked)

saki: Um, Lico-san?

lico (under his breath): Holy shit. That was crazy, I didn’t think she’d actually do it.

saki: You’re not mad are you…?

lico: I’m not, don’t worry. No one else saw that, did they? Phew… That’s good. You’re the only one who’s allowed to see me this flustered. Well, I’m sure you don’t mind getting to see my honest self every now and then, right?

Chapter 2 -break room-

lico: —There you are. Hey, Saki, come over here.

saki: Oh, Lico-san. Good work on today’s show, did you need something?

lico: Well, y’see, I can’t stop thinking about what happened the other day. Don’t you think it’s unfair that I was the only one who got all flustered?

saki: W-what do you mean?

lico: I want to see you looking all flustered too. A face that you’re only comfortable showing me. The other day you praised me, remember? So this time it’s my turn to do the same. I’ll pet your head and call you a good girl for humouring my request.

saki: You’ll what?

-lico steps close-

lico: No need to be shy, here. (he pets her head) Fufu, good girl, good girl.

saki: U-uhh… Um… T-thank you…

lico: Just as I’d thought, you’re super cute when you’re embarrassed. Fufu, you only let your guard down so much cause you’re with me, right? That’s why it’s inevitable that I’ll want to spoil you even more. So give up and accept your fate, cause that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

-cg

lico: Say, Saki. How about we do this next? Come closer, let’s make a heart by putting our hands together. Oh, but first I have to tell you something, my adorable owner.

Once you complete the heart I’m going to dote on you to my heart's content. I’ll cherish you and spoil you so much that I’ll be all you’re able to think about. And then who knows what’ll happen after that. So, if that doesn’t bother you, come over here. The choice is yours, Saki.

choice:

>Complete the heart

-saki steps forwards and completes the heart with her hand-

saki: Is this how you make the heart shape?

lico: Yep, well done.

saki: Huh?

-lico hugs saki to his chest-

lico: If I hug you close like this then no one else will be able to see how cute your face is right now.

-saki looks up, lico’s really close-

lico: You don’t need to depend on anyone but me, ok?

Ginsei: Sigh.....

MC: Thank you for your hard work, Ginsei.

Ginsei: Ah, Princess.....I'm sorry I showed you my unprofessional sighing.

Ginsei: Would you like something to drink? You must be tired from watching the practices, right?

Lico: Well, I'll take a cola~.

Ginsei: I didn't ask you. Don't get involved all the time.

Lico: Uwa, you won't even have a conversation? That's really annoying.

Maica: If you aren't going to buy anything, please leave.

Maica: Mizuki said that the break will be over in 5 minutes.

Maica: Also, why don't you think about how Ginsei will react? Don't you get tired of just barking at each other?

Lico: What's with that? You're a singer so you're good.

Ginsei: You.

Ginsei: .....Stop it. There is really no end to it.

END.

Chapter 1

Haseyama Oi, Un'ei. About what we were discussing earlier. Un'ei Huh? Sir, what do you by that? Haseyama Ha? What are you doing? Are you letting the flowers bloom in your brain too? I'm talking about the mixed teams that are going to perform the scripts written by the playwrights. Un'ei (scared mumbling)...O-Of course, everything is going smoothly...! Let's see...Akira-san's team members were........were... Akira He~y~, try to remember it, will you? Kei Akira, Mokuren, Yakou, Menou, and finally, myself. Haseyama Hm, wasn't expeting Kei-sama to be part of it as well. Well, Rindou, who's in yours? Rindou Kokuyo, Qu, Taiga, and Ran, sir. Un'ei Both teams were created under the supervision of a 3rd party overseer! Haseyama Hell if I care about that. All I need to know if it's a good card to play. Well, as long as it all goes smoothly...Actually, I have no idea who'll end up winning this time. Hey, little missy. Which one do you think is stronger? MC (flustered) Uhm, yes...U-uhm... Kei Haseyama, don't bother her with such meaningless things. Haseyama Well, doesn't matter to me who wins or losses. I'm going to go greet the teachers now. Work hard and keep the money flowing in. Rindou The owner is still his usual self. Akira That conversation was completely pointless. Anyway, there's no penalty for losing this time, right? Kei None that I know of. However, we still need to do what was requested of us. Both teams are to give it their all for the performances. Akira Okay~! But I'm going to make sure I'm the one who will win your affections~ Rindou As for us, no matter what kind of performance it is, we will do our everything for our customers. However, I don't feel like losing either. Un'ei (giggling) I wonder what kind of performances we'll get. Akira-san's team and Rindou-san's team are both giving it their all, aren't they? MC Yes, I'm looking forward to the Hanami performances from both teams!

Chapter 2

Menou (sleeping on the floor) (Takami and Sinju walk by) Sinju A-ah! Menou? I almost stepped on you. Takami Menou, wake up. It's not good to sleep on the floor with your performance clothes on. And, you have a show today, don't you. Hurry on and get ready. Menou (yawning) ...'s already time.. Sinju A lot of customers are coming in today as well. Good luck! Menou Heh. Don't really feel like going at all today, to be honest. This whole performance is just half-assed anyway. Sinju Huh, really? To me, it doesn't look like that at all though... Menou I wanted to focus more on the acting of it, but Mokuren kept pushing to focus on the dance aspect. Takami I feel like I've heard this conversation somewhere before. Menou Akira said he wanted to be the one singing, since he'd the top and all. Even Kei said to "Leave it all to the top's judgment." So really, in the end it was Akira's opinions that mattered. Takami The show looks well balanced though. Menou Nope. That whole thing is just a half-assed play. In the end, Akira left the directioning to Kei and left it at that. Takami I see. That's very Akira. Menou If you aren't gonna do your best with the acting, why even appoint me in the first place. Sinju Ah, Menou! Don't just go back to sleep! Takami For now, why not just stay at the wings? You don't want to leave a hole in the show, don't you? Menou Hm, yeah...guess I have no choice. (Menou leaves) Sinju ...Is he gonna be alright...? Takami Menou, Mokuren, and Akira... No matter how much I think of it, it really is an amazing team. Sinju It really is. But if you think about it, everyone is in a league of their own there, aren't they? It'll be an amazing show, no matter what, is what I think. Takami A lot of them want to focus on different things. It seems hard to be able to focus on a single direction.* (Takami actually says Too many ferrymen, eh? It'll be difficult to steer it which is a reference to a proverb. I didn't know if I should've used the proverb or explain it instead so like...y'know. Here we are. lol.)
