Juis Idol Story 2
Hey, Tsuzura. Good work. There weren’t many mistakes and you were more consistent today.
Oh, yeah… You did good too, Juis-san.
Hehe. I feel like I did really well today too… I’m glad.
Well, I think it was thanks to your help too, Juis-san…
Don’t worry about it. Isn’t helping each other what being a unit is all about?
Yes, but… I’ve never really been able to help you out… have I?
That’s just because I haven’t needed any help.
That’s true. You always do your work perfectly, Juis-san.
Hehe… When it’s just the two of us we usually do really well, Juis-san. It makes work fun…♪
Oh! Come to think of it, Mashu-san and Nozomi-san had a different job together today too, right…?
Yeah. Madoka’s been all kinds of fussy about it since this morning.
He was going on about things like how he didn’t feel like doing today’s work and how he wanted to change how we were grouped.
Nozomi-san ends up being really child-like when it comes to you, Juis-san.
Personally, I’d like him to stay smart.
But I like that side of Nozomi-san because it’s cute…
It doesn’t really matter what feelings Madoka has towards me.
Whatever it is, whether it’s affection, jealousy, or hatred… I’ll accept it. He’s free to feel that way.
But I’d like for him to act reasonably. Acting purely on emotion is no different than acting like an animal.
If he’s smart, then it’d be good for him to act more calmly I suppose.
A-Ahaha… Yeah. I don’t really get it, though…
I wonder if things are going smoothly for those two…? I hope they’re getting along…
It’ll be fine. Knowing Kuon, I’m sure he’ll be able to manage even with Madoka.
Even if something does happen, they have Nice there with them.
If anything, wouldn’t they be the ones worrying about us?
Oh, yeah. That’s right… Since I’m always the one who ends up holding everyone back…
I got ahead of myself after doing so well today… It was pretty presumptuous for me, of all people, to worry about them. Sorry…
(…I messed up. I said something I shouldn’t have.)
(I’ve been trying to keep myself from saying anything too negative since one wrong word could turn into a whole debrief, but…)
(Kuon is way better than me at this kind of thing…)
Don’t be so pessemistic. It’s not like nobody relies on you, Tsuzura.
Your looks are a pretty big advantage as an idol, and you’ve got the kind of sincerity that matters in a person too.
And the fact that Nice is always asking you to do favors is proof enough.
Oh. Yeah, but… I’m the one that asks Nice-san to do those favors.
So, that’s why… Umm… I’m not really sure if he relies on me…
Actually, I’m always the one making mistakes and causing trouble for him… so I feel bad—
No, you don’t really need to feel bad when it comes to Nice.
Huh? W-Why…?
Because Nice knows the kind of person you are, Tsuzura. And that’s probably why he asks you for favors.
I guess Nice thinks it’s part of his job as a producer.
Maybe he thinks that it’s okay for you to fail as many times as you need to, as long as you eventually find something you can be confident in…?
Oh, really?
Ah, I can’t say that’s the case for sure.
I see. Well, Nice-san is always thinking about how to produce us, isn’t he?
Whenever I see him, he always seems to be working.
Speaking of… I wonder if Nice-san is getting enough rest…?
Now that I think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nice-san when he’s off work…
He’s the kind of guy who thinks about idols even when he’s off the clock, after all.
Hehe. He sure does love idols, doesn’t he…♪
Has Nice-san always been like that…?
Juis-san. You’re Nice-san’s cousin, so you’d know right…?
…Hard to say. You could say I know him, and you could also say I don’t.
……
…? I don’t get it… Which is it?
Yeah, Nice has always been like that.
He’s a lunatic that genuinely loves idols and ended up devoting everything to honing their brilliance.
But I don’t know if that’s truly what he wanted anymore…
…? Umm… I don’t think I understand what you’re saying, Juis-san…
So, Nice-san has always loved idols and was an amazing person… is that right?
—Haha! Sure, I guess that’s one way to put it.
Huh? What? Did… I say something wrong? If I did, I’m sorry!
No, you didn’t say anything wrong.
Back then, he genuinely loved idols… and he was an amazing guy.
—That’s one thing I can say for sure.
