Number Eight - Take a Chance (1)

WaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling! Hurry up and open the parachute already!

Huh?! Nothing’s working! I’m done for, this is seriously the end!

Uwaaa—Ah, it finally opened! What a scare~ This just took 5 years off my lifespan!

(Uuugh, why me…)

(All of this is Rinne-kun’s fault!)

Thanks for waiting~ Everyone is here, right?

Ah, Niki-han. Are you almost done with work?

Yeah, sorry for running late. It’s been a super hectic day since we launched a new menu. I can finally catch my breath.

Anyway, what was the “big offer” you guys brought up yesterday?

Ever since you mentioned it on HoldHands I’ve been curious about it.

Oh, that. Amagi still hasn’t gotten here yet.

? But, isn’t it past our scheduled meeting time?

That’s odd~ I mean it’s Rinne-kun, so I thought he’d be here at Cinnamon playing mahjong already.

Yes. Being the only one late after calling everyone here is a bit self centered…

However, this wouldn’t be the first time that man has caused trouble. We can just sit and chat while Shiina has a break.

It can’t be helped. I’ve got my food, so I’ll eat while I wait.

Today’s meal is a burger bowl. I need to enjoy it’s rich taste quick before Rinne-kun comes along and ruins it~

Ahhhhn~

Thanks for the meaaaaal~!

–Huh what?! Rinne-kun?!

Wait, Rinne-kun!? What awful timing! Were you seriously just hiding out and waiting so that you could eat my burger?!

When it comes to your meals you really are on edge, huh? I literally just got here.

Anyways, now that we’re all here let’s hurry and get started.

Y’all got 30 minutes to get ready~

Hah? Just what are you suddenly going on about…

We haven’t got the slightest idea what we’re even getting ready for.

Gyahaha, can’t you just tell by looking at me?

Cuz I’ve got my luggage bag here full of my hopes and dreams~

No, I really can’t tell…?

Hm~ Maybe it’s still too early in the day for you Kohaku-chan~ Don’t freak out, but the new job offer we’ve got is overseas!

Anzu-chan showed me a tour job with an unknown destination! Doesn’t that just sound like the perfect job for Crazy:B?

Overseas?!

…Hm. On such short notice.

Amagi, do you even have a passport?

Shiina has gone abroad to gather ingredients, and Oukawa has gone abroad to attend “IFF”¹. So, that would leave you being the only one with no experience abroad, Amagi.

It’s hardly been a day since the offer was extended to us, so your passport couldn’t have been issued on the same day, correct?

You’ve got a point…I’ve only got mine made since I was invited to “IFF”s award ceremony, but I don’t think Rinne-han’s had much experience overseas.

Gyahaha~ You guys are thinking way too hard about this, aren’t you?

Japan’s got no casinos. I made a passport just in case I needed to go to the land of casinos one day, that’s all~

Seriously…?

So we’re not getting this job for professional reasons, Rinne-kun. It sounds to me like a cheesy dream to go overseas to advance as an idol or something, right~?

Isn’t it the opposite? With Crazy:B’s past track record, it’s good that we’re getting a job offer overseas right? Mind you, we are a unit that’s only been around for less than a year.

Getting a job offer from Japan to go overseas should be a dream job for us!

I have no hopes or dreams.

Well, dreams can’t really make me hungry can they~ I get it. I should probably start packing now, shouldn’t I?

It’s not too busy anymore, so I’ve got no issue telling my boss that I’m taking a leave from work for a bit.

Is that really okay, Niki-han?

It’s kinda unfair, since your shift isn’t really over until later in the day. You shouldn’t force yourself to cram everything.

Nyahaha. We’re being pulled into another one of Rinne-kun’s ideas again~ At least that’s what I think.

But, but! If we’re going abroad then this is something completely different! If all our travel expenses are paid for, then I can just be on the search for more ingredients right?

It’s super handy if this combines both my hobbies and work and it’s free!

Ah…right. I guess it is kinda motivating when a job is convenient isn’t it?

Well, Niki-han, you’ve always been the type to prefer dangos over flowers². Even if I brought you a bit of a sweet treat and accidentally hurt ya, you wouldn’t be angry with me…

But, I should probably hurry and get my stuff ready.

This is Rinne-han we’re talking about after all. He won’t take no for an answer will he?

–HiMERU supposes so. Given Crazy:B’s tendency to be explosive, he has no place interfering with our work.

HiMERU would also like to offer some advice to you, Amagi, since your experience with going abroad is limited. Please be sure to bring your passport, outfits, and an ID that can be used abroad.

There’s no telling where we’ll be going, but if we end up somewhere pertaining to idol work then we should be able to obtain anything needed for that locally.

Thank yew, that’s what Crazy:B’s all about~

The dice has been thrown. Let’s all say hi to the Goddess of Fate for our first ever overseas trip~
