☼ Voyage! Early Spring Cruising Live - Prologue

Tsukasa: *munch munch*...♪

Hinata: So, so? Is it good?

Tsukasa: Mm, it's very delicious. I’m happy that I finally got to eat your sweets.

Ever since I heard from Yuuta-kun that making sweets is your hobby, I’ve thought of wanting to try them if the opportunity arose.

Hinata: Uwah, that's a relief ♪ I was baking in the kitchen today too, but since I made way too many I got worried~

Tsukasa-kun came to my rescue ♪

Tsukasa: Fufu. So something such as this can be considered as assistance, I see. As for me, I'm envious that Yuuta-kun gets to eat such delicious sweets every day.

Hinata: Nah. Actually, he gets mad at me, saying, "Why did you make so much?” The cost of ingredients isn't something to be sneezed at after all.

Yuuta-kun can’t handle sweets anyway. You've gulped down three cupcakes already though, so I feel like it was worth it ♪

Tsukasa: Uu, I hope I haven't been eating too much? Sweet things reduce Stress, but gorging myself on them is forbidden.

My senpai will tease me again, saying that I have been getting "chubby".

However, I wanted something sweet to eat and stopped by the garden terrace anyway, so I consider this a stroke of luck for myself as well.

Hinata: Oh yeah, you did look a little tired. What's up?

Tsukasa: Ehh, did you notice? My family's business has been a little hectic, or rather, it’s come to the end of its tether, so I am quite worried.

Hinata: Your family's business? What kind of business is it? The kind where you make an appearance at social functions?

Hime-kun also said it was hard going around greeting others~ Sometimes he complains about it too.

Tsukasa: That's right. As the Suou family heir, I'm expected to show up and greet people at places such as that.

However, that's not the type of work I've been entrusted with recently.

My parents have decided to start Cruising with our family's passenger ship, and I was asked to entertain the guests as a Host.

Hinata: Woah, you own a ship!? As expected of the rich, the plans you guys make are on a completely different scale~. So your guests’ll all be something like business bigwigs?

I can't even imagine that, it sounds like something out of a manga!

Tsukasa: It isn't so formal; it's merely an invitation to show our gratitude to them. The point is to enjoy dining and Cruising.

However, there is one problem...

Hinata: Hmm? What is it, Tsukasa-kun?

Tsukasa: To tell you the truth, my parents entrusted me with a request for an exciting Live, but the schedules of everyone in Knights may make it difficult to gather them up.

Narukami-senpai and Sena-senpai said they have Model work, and Leader and Ritsu-senpai also have their own business.

Since their plans have already been decided, it's too late to make adjustments.

I explained the situation to my parents, and I have been trying to think of another event... But I just haven't been able to come up with anything.

There is still some time to think about it. Your sweets have replenished my sugar levels, so I may be able to come up with an idea I hadn't considered before.

Hinata: Hold on, hold on! Would it be okay to use a unit other than Knights as long as they can perform a live, then?

Tsukasa: Hm? That's right, my parents didn't say Knights had to do the Live...

Hinata: Then how about you let us 2wink participate instead?

Tsukasa: I see, I was being narrow-minded! Instead of changing the program, we can simply look for another unit to appear at the Live.

In that case, I would be incredibly grateful if you performed...

Hinata: Mm, I get the feeling that there's more to this problem?

Tsukasa: On the day of the Live, there will be a Stage constructed on the deck of the ship; as there will be many people gathered, there was a demand for a flashy event, you see.

The Live needs at least four... No, five people would be best.

Hinata: H~m, I got it. So besides 2wink, you need at least one other unit to come?

Tsukasa: Mm, that's right. Still, we've scheduled our Cruising for next week. There isn’t much of a guarantee that we could even secure practice time. Is there a Unit who would agree to help under these circumstances?

Hinata: Chocolat Fest ended not too long ago, so I think there's at least one unit that has some free time.

The day when us underclassmen will become the protagonist in Repayment Fest is still a ways off too, so I'll try asking some acquaintances of mine too.

Tsukasa: Hinata-kun... To offer help to me while I was merely passing by shows you hold a chivalrous spirit as well! You have my gratitude...☆

Hinata: Ahaha, friends should help each other out when there's trouble, shouldn't they ♪ Besides, this discussion's the best thing I could ask for.

I want to increase our popularity, so my plan was to proactively go after lives. I'm glad I got this chance. Thanks, Tsukasa-kun ♪

Now that it's been decided, I need to talk to Yuta-kun. I'm sure this surprise'll be a delight for him to hear...♪
