☼ Voyage! Early Spring Cruising Live - Chapter 2

Hinata: He~y, Yuuta-kun!

Thanks for waiting! Here's some sweets as a reward~☆

Yuuta: Aniki, you know I don't like sweets, right...

Huh? It's not sweet? Actually, the slight spiciness warms me up~♪

Hinata: Ahaha... I'd never make something you hate as a present for you.

I tried making ginger cookies, since we’re going to make sweets for Repayment Fest.

I made some with a sweet flavor, but I figured you wouldn’t like them, so I added in a lot of ginger~

I'm planning on handing out both for Repayment Fest, for people who want to eat something spicier after they have something sweet.

I think it'll make them happy if they use it as a palette cleanser.

Yuuta: Mmm, it was the right choice to leave the sweets to you, Aniki.

Almost every unit gave out handmade chocolate at Chocolat Fest to welcome those who come.

But eventually, there wasn’t enough for everyone.

That’s why for Repayment Fest, idols are going to give a supplier their recipe so they can make them instead.

Hinata: But that doesn't mean we're banned from making them ourselves anyway~. So I'm sneakily getting ahead of everyone else so there won't be any complaints.

Well, there's still time before Repayment Fest. I'll keep improving my sweets by making them over and over again, so that our audience will gratefully accept the best I can make.

That's "my" duty, after all.

Yuuta: Yeah, Aniki's place is to make sweets, and "mine" is to focus on lessons.

I don't know yet if this is our best form, but...

I feel like doing things separately, instead of together, makes us more efficient.

Hinata: I think I’m feeling the same. I also feel like we don't have enough pieces to become "one person" yet, but...

If we keep searching for them, then I think someday we'll finally be able to arrive at that solution.

That aside, Yuuta-kun, I got something good to tell you. We might get to do a Live on a grand cruise ship!

Yuuta: Ehh? Are you serious? If you are, then that's some really good news... Ahh, but I’m guessing "might" means that it's not settled yet?

Hinata: Yeah. I was told that the Live needs at least five people, so we need at least one other unit to participate with us.

Yuuta: Hmm... In that case, wanna try asking any units we’re on good terms with?

Hinata: Sure. I hope we’re lucky enough to bump into a leader, or someone who’s familiar with them... Hmm?

Shinobu: Shinkai-dono~? Are you really sure you’re alright?

I talked to Taichou-dono on the phone, and he told me that they’ll manage the hero show by themselves. So you don’t have to push yourself— you should just rest for today!

Kanata: Mm~... The "park" is near the "ocean," so~ The "sea breeze" rushing over me would make me feel better~... Puka, puka ♪

Yuuta: Shinobu-kun and Shinkai-senpai, and even Anzu-san! Good afternoon~♪

Actually, Shinkai-senpai... You seem totally lifeless?

Shinobu: Ahaha... Shinkai-dono is really stressed right now. By the way, what are the two of you doing?

Yuuta: ....Hey, Aniki. Isn't this our chance?

Hinata: You're right, Yuuta-kun! I was just thinking the same thing~♪

Yuuta: In that case... Say, Shinobu-kun, as a matter of fact...

Shinobu: ...Mm-mm. A Live on a ship?

2wink doesn't have enough members, so you were looking for another unit that could participate?

U-Uwee!? W-what is it, Anzu-dono? Why did you clap all of a sudden...

Huh? Speaking of ships, the sea? Speaking of the sea, water... Is this an association game?¹

Kanata: Water~♪

Shinobu: Ohh, Shinkai-dono’s going back to his usual state...

I see! If it's a Live on the sea, then it's ideal work for Shinkai-dono ♪

Kanata: Ufufu. I do not need to be put in the "sea"... Just going to the "sea" would make me very happy ♪

But, we need Chiaki’s "permission" for taking up jobs... So we need to talk to him first.

Shinobu: Yes! I will run as quickly as possible to where Taichou-dono is and ask him!

Hinata: Shinobu-kun, let's go together. If you end up accepting the work, then it'll be a joint live between Ryuseitai and 2wink.

I don't want to miss out on saying "I'm really looking forward to working with you."

Shinobu: I see, so it’ll be a joint Live between Ryuseitai and 2wink... That sounds like a very fun Live ♪
