Triple update!! Thanks for the thanks!! :3
--Six--Looking at Mayuyu practice is interesting. There are those parts that she’s not so good at, I’d like to help but the teacher is here right now. The Nezumi-chan is sweating a lot and seemingly doing her best. The teacher scolded her for a few problems, but still she’s working hard. I wonder if she’s tsundere towards idol activities. Well, before, she was too apathetic towards other people and slightly afraid of relationships.
“Mayu-chan, you have a mail.” When their small rest break came, Rena-chan handed over an envelope.
[From Nezu…]
“I am currently in Hokkaido! It’s quite cold here. But that’s not the point you idiot! So…The enemy seems to have a base over here. That stupid bastard… I can’t pinpoint his location… Ugh… How much I want to kill him right now... Mayu, you should be the first one to read it. If not, please strangle the messenger right now. The thing is, I’m not willing to be around that Maeda anymore. So, don’t try to find me. I’m investigating right now. Don’t worry about me at all. And I guess I won’t be seeing you for a long, long time again. Plus, I never said that I’d stay with you forever anyways, so don’t blame me for leaving.”
“Oh yeah. And also. START SINGING FIGHTERS TO TOMO NI!!!!!”“xxxxxx[I don’t have the lyrics…]”
“…Rather…what the heck?” This was indeed a weird scene, probably really weird for the other KKS.
Rena-chan was also lost. “…I don’t know.”
“It’s ok. Enjoy life to the fullest.” Juri-Center popped out of nowhere and grinned.
“Hai…” I awkwardly answered all the comments.
--------------------
“…nee~ Mayu-san, what’s your relationship with Yuki-senpai?”
“Curiosity to the max! You get what I mean…”
“…urm…” This Nezumi-san is currently trapped…I mean, this Nezumi-san is bluntly saying that out to you people, so please realize at least.
“Ooh, me too… I want to know!” Then, Jurina jumped in. Really, between Center and Jurina, there was no difference. Ah, Center.
Really, I’m shy when saying so. Rather, I don’t think I should say. But still…“…She’s…someone…”
“Who you like, of course.” Center finished for me with a puppy grin.
The others giggled and blushed at the statement, excited. I pouted and let a little red fade onto my face, this is kind of embarrassing. Considering the idiocy that always happens, it’s not much of a problem actually. That amnesiac puppy just stared at me happily.
I don’t get the happy part since everyone has school tomorrow as well as practice (I don’t know how much I like this). Actually, I don’t know what level Center’d be on due to the forgetting thing and that probably meant that her intelligence also regressed. I’m not a doctor or anything of that sort.
In truth if Nezu was around she’d be able to answer all the questions, but she isn’t and that stupid nee-san caused a weird moment as well.
--------------------
--Seven--“Ok, so everyone’s here right?” Shinoda Mariko, the troll of the world of AKB, asked as the homeroom teacher for the first year students at the A48(maybe better to say A48 Gakuen). Right next to her were the bird and safe-sound hentai of SKE, mainly known as Churi and Airin.
“Yes!” Everyone said out loud, even the sleepy Mayu who stayed up to practice. One can clearly see how the view of being an idol is despite the huge difference between the dream-like imagined world of showbiz that is too perfect.
In truth, no one had a clue on what was going to happen. The senpai members such as Myao and Rabutan and the slightly newer girls such as Hirari, neither group had a clue as long as they were the students in the class.
Mariko-sama grinned like the troll character she is and started to unwrap a big, big package of some sort. Meanwhile, Churi and Airi started to write out what they were about to say on the blackboard. Mayu felt a weird warmth as someone was actually using the blackboard for something.
“Ok…so…we have a trip to…”
“Kyoto!!!!!!!”
“Well, it’s kind of typical for a school trip, but we get to go as well! Everyone does!”
“…I guess it’s ok to spend money like this if this is the situation…I don’t get it…????”By this point in time, the mouse’s thoughts had changed to become a completely different genre almost. Well, one can’t be all stuck up on one topic especially when it doesn’t apply in the situation. The only other thing to think about is,
“Yukirin!” --------------------
In one of the second year classes, Yuki and Rena who was just attending at the AKB site due to the break were sitting next to each other. Kojima was spacing off. Sadly, Yuko wasn’t in the class. Maeda was sleeping and nodding off, bored. If Nezu was there, she’d say that these people were amazing.
The genking Sae walked into the classroom with Akimoto Sayaka behind her. The two gave broad grins to all the girls. Sayaka was in tip-top shape like always despite giving up the idol job and going to be a manager as the lines had always predicted.
Yuki looked to the two who were her senpai by just a little bit. Rena tilted her head in confusion to what they had come to announce.
“Acchan! Wake up first!” The genking cheerfully woke the ace.
Right after, Sayaka started, “So…this year, we’re having a school trip to-”
“Kyoto!!!!”
“Just as an extra random thing, we might be doing a little photo-shooting there as well.”
Rena seemed somewhat excited as the Nagoya girl hadn’t really gone to that place in Kansai before. Yuki was surprised, luckily not doing anything like falling out of the chair as her variety show reactions urged her to. The ace yawned. Kojima mumbled incoherent words space-ily. The rest of the class was excited as well and this was just in the High School sectors.
--------------------
Within the third-year junior high class A, Ohori Megumi--the kuso baba was the teacher and found that the concurrent Team E girl was late. “Non-chan, you’re late.”
Kanon awkwardly confessed as she darted her eyes away from the teacher, “…Hehe…I kind of overslept…sorry…”
“Well, it is ok~ I was about to announce something, that’s all.”
The pale SKE girl then sat down in her seat and awaited the announcement with everyone else in the class. Really besides the pervert side of Meetan, Ohori was actually a good teacher and all.
She was curious enough; Non-chan leaned forward in her chair awaiting the news.
“So…we’re going on a trip…to…” Meetan paused and added an unplanned surprise announcing method, “dun dun dun, ok announce it!”
Center jumped into the classroom and waved a flag with the kanji for the said place of Kansai, “Kyoto!!”
Surely enough, most of the students were flabbergasted--surprised. Kanon just stared at the SKE ace with wide eyes. The puppy looked towards her ‘kouhai’ and grinned. The pale girl let out a light sigh with a slightly wry smile or maybe a concealed smirk.
--------------------
[Going to Kyoto; don’t try to follow. You’re probably skilled enough to…well, I’ll leave what I’m saying to your imagination. C-0262] A ring from a cellphone burst out for five seconds before silencing and displaying a test message on the screen.
--Eight--A young yet mature looking adult of around the twenties muttered to himself, “Matsui Jurina…” In his hand was a photo of the said person and a large frown was plastered across his face.
“Hey, Aku, why is it that you wanna get that girl so bad…”
“A-dono, why care so much?”
“…Because…She holds some information that I’d rather just erase and I’ll gladly manipulate someone to do that dirty work for me…,” growled the man sitting in the yakuza-like throne-chair as he crumpled up the photo in his hand.
--------------------
Kyoto--quite the historical and cultural site, due to reasons like that, it was spared from WWII bombings supposedly. Being such a place, Kyoto was filled with many shrines and such as well as quite a few imperial palaces and some intriguing places.
A normal school might as well have at least one trip to Kyoto and Nara as a fieldtrip. Being a not so normal school, AKB’s A48 Gakuen, only Kyoto was on the trip list, but that was still quite good enough seeing that all the members were basically going.
Of the different grade levels which had one to three classes depending on how many students, they were split into different groups such as J3A which was the first group of Junior High 3rd Years. Unfortunately for the crew that Mayu was very close to as well as the little mouse herself, grouping was all within grade levels so no upperclassmen or lowerclassmen were in the groups.
Teachers had also come along and some of the older members did as well. Actually, all the members ended up coming along besides the HKT and some of the NMB and SKE girls due to complications. Even Jurina who was still in Center-mode was going, though she was in the J3A group.
To explain clearly, the puppy was in J3A with Kanon and some other girls who shall be revealed later. For this, Meetan was the accompanying adult.
For Mayu, she was with Miyazaki Miho (who just for a refresher was partially responsible for a certain close to drowning accident in S1), Ota Aika (everyone’s tsundere queen), Ono Erena who was actually just asked to come along as a graduated member, Kato Rena, Takahashi Juri, and the supposed HKT ace Haruppi, in S1C. For this class, Mariko-sama was a chaperone.
Yuki and everyone else in the group in the 2nd year (including Yuko) were lucky enough to be put into the same group with a certain Kyoto native. Their group’s name was S2B.
Even though the groups were decided in grade levels, traveling to the destination for the trip, which was incidentally for one and a half weeks, was in buses and it was a first come first serve opportunity. The buses were all following each other and at the rest breaks, one could switch buses, so that was also a fun thing.
Truly, traveling to Kyoto by bus did take a while especially with all the breaks. Well, that just made it fun.
Fun…not really, for some people it wasn’t so much fun. The normal group of Yuko, Yuki, Maeda, Kojiharu, Center, Rena, Takamina, and Mayu was at the back of the bus together. Yuki looked somewhat sick, she never had motion sickness before, so it must’ve been something else.
Mayuyu worriedly asked, “Yukirin…you okay?”
“Ah…not feeling so good… Yuko…lend me a bag?”
“Ah, here.” The squirrel handed a bag over to Yuki.
Next came the sounds of barfing. The kouhai in the front of the bus winced and tried to look away. Mayu patted her love’s back gently and Kojima spaced out like always. Rena anxiously looked at the scene and Center giggled which led to the elder Matsui reprimanding her lightly.
Finished getting all the bad stuff out of her system, Yuki then handed the bag back to Yuko. The squirrel cried at how evil that Yuki was. The mouse just silently gave a caring look towards the short girl. Haruna, feeling bad, allowed Yuko to lay on her lap.
“…I’m so glad to be alive,” Yuko murmured from her wonderful viewing position that was also quite comfortable.
The seating arrangement was pretty simple. Takamina was sitting on one side of the isle with Acchan while Center and Rena were on the other side. The last bunch of the group was in the last seating area which was just a long, long couch-like seat.
The ace happily hugged her midget causing the midget in this case to blush and look away awkwardly. Center giggled after her light scolding and started rummaging through her little bag that was outside of her luggage. Everyone’s luggage was in the top-storage compartment.
“Hey! Let’s play cards or something~”
“What game?” Mayu asked, bored with the typical un-enthusiasm and slightly sad that she didn’t have her hoodie as it was in the luggage and all.
Thinking for a bit, the puppy then brought up an American game, “Hrm…You guys know about Prez?”
“Eh?” For the most part, the non-yakuza girls were clueless. Yuki didn’t give a too big reaction, but still it seemed that she was shocked.
“Hrm…Americanized Daifugo?? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_(card_game)]” Center pondered for a bit.
The two who knew the game, Acchan and Yuko, started to explain. For those who were listening, it went into their heads clearly. For the always spacey Nyan Nyan, nothing went through besides the main ideas.
--------------------
Mayu PoVI actually wish I could sleep now… Americanized daifugo… That actually sounds oddly interesting. Center seemed quite excited to play and we’ve already started to deal out the cards. As if creating teams, Yuki and I, Yuko and Kojima, Maeda and Takamina, and the WMatsui, got together a bit closer.
“Ok, 3 of spades starts. Let’s go clockwise.”
I’m surprised that Center knows about this game though; it may have been Nezu if they really knew each other.
“Oh I start.” I do have the 3 of spades. As I have three other threes, I put them all down allowing Yukirin to quick clear it. She puts down a three and then using her quick-clear turn puts down a bomb (a 2 in this case) and then a 4. I get my turn again and clear that with three other fours.
Quickly, it seemed that we were winning the game. Center had a glint in her eyes that said otherwise though.
“Haha! Quick clear, bombing it~ And then, a full pack of 7s followed by a 6.” In a bit, she got rid of quite some of her cards. Kojima was basically mentally wiped out by all the random card-jargon.
This seems like it’ll be a good game. Takamina got fired up, still failing though.
In the end, Rena somehow won. That puppy’s still grinning, she got second place VP.
As if wanting to cause suffering to they who failed (Takamina and Kojiharu) Center then brought up the idea of a punishment game for losers. There’s no fun without that type of thing.
“So what punishment?”
“Hmm…” There’s Acchan casually thinking as Takamina was distressed.
“Eh…”
Yukirin suggested with a smile, “How about the loser buys everyone in their group one souvenir or thing that the members want for every game they get placed in scum or vice-scum?”
The members of my group are not involved in this game at all, so it’d really just be a punishment. “Ehh…”
“Well, let’s just stick with that then.”
--------------------
Rena PoVPrez, playing it through, somehow I haven’t gotten scum or a scum position a single time. Yuki-chan seemed to have suffered what’s called reaping what she sows. Losing the most was Takamina. Coming in close second place was Yuki. In third was Haruna. Mayu-chan lost a few times. And Acchan lost once.
“We have now arrived at our second to last rest stop.” Mariko-sama stated through the speakers.
I yawned. This trip was actually surprisingly tiring. None of us feel like getting off though. So, the announcement truly meant nothing.
“Rena-chan~ tired?” Center smiled and laid her head on my shoulder.
Yuko and Haruna had fallen asleep. Mayu and Yuki-chan are leaning on each other and Acchan’s using Takamina as a pillow. It looked as if everyone’s tired. I nodded. I guess the rest of the ride will be sleeping.
