A.N's note: I would like to thank everyone for their comments on (Un)Selfish Love. However, I have bad news. This next update is totally NOT related to the ongoing fic. So I do apologize. Anyway... This just came up to me after watching a few funny court cases. I hope that this one is a bit funny, because I really suck at making a funny fic.
For those who are fans of Myao, I would like to apologize in advance if I made her...well...just read it. I kind of made her the 'villian' in this fic, so I really apologize. If I have offended any of you by making your oshimen act differently, then I'm sorry. I'm really sorry if I made any other changes in one of the member's personality. You can help me by telling more about them. ^^ So...enough of my long drabbling. Here goes~!AKB48のファンサービスのショー (AKB48 no Fansabisu no Sho) Episode One: The case of Player MiiThe door creaked as she opened it, catching those in the room’s attention. Her heels gave a tapping sound as she walked on the wooden floor to get to her table, which was located on the far end of the room. Several cameras stood tall everywhere, and cables attached to them made it hard for her to walk.
As she walked towards the table that was a meter higher than her, the murmurs and chatters made by those in the room slowly died down. The ones behind the professional video cameras fixed and aimed at her, as she sat by her desk, and polished her glasses. Two jib arm cameras captured those in the room, before focusing on her.
She looked at the small digital clock placed on her wooden desk, as she fixed the collar of her robe. Then deciding that it was time to start the case, she took a look at those sitting in front of her as audiences, and those sitting on each side of the room as the Jury.
Everyone in the room, except for her and those who seemed to be the ones involved in the case, wore an outfit that seemed to be a school uniform. Interested, she arched her eyebrows and opened the file placed on her desk, reading it as she wondered about the particular group sitting in the room before her.
The words ‘Special Case: AKB48’ was written on the front page of the file, and she read the first paragraph to figure out what type of case she had to judge today. As she read, she find out that this case she had to judge was a special case on Japan’s Top Idol group. She also found out that this was a case far different than any other cases she had judge before, since it was a case of cheating…between two girls.
Several seconds passed by and soon, she was finished with the paragraph. She closed the file before darting her eyes to those sitting in front of her, checking every detail with her hawk-like eyes. Seeing that everything and everyone seemed to be in order, she took the gravel on her desk and gave a slight knock on the sound block to signal every one the starting of the case.
“The filed case for cheating is in motion.” She spoke in a voice that seemed cold, and hoped that she didn’t look bad in front of the Japan’s Top idols.
Fortunately for her, no one seemed to care. One of the girls sitting in front of her stood up, catching her attention and making her head turn to the girl who now stood up before her. The girl gave her a slight nod, as a sign of respect while she just stared back with emotionless eyes.
She began to inspect the basic details of the girl in front of her, and realized just how the girl seemed to be a few inches shorter than her. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and she was wearing a neat, greyish suit that made her look very formal.
However, something caught her eyes and a glint of amusement was seen on her face when she saw the shorter girl wearing a pink ribbon. The ribbon made the dull outfit look a little bit colorful.
“Attorney Takahashi Minami, Your Honor.” The short girl introduced herself with an aura of authority, making Karomuwi wonder if she was some sort of leader in the group AKB48.
Karomuwi sat up on her chair, and instructed. “Attorney Takahashi Minami, you may begin.”
The said girl nodded her head in response, and wore the glasses she took from her own desk. She cleared her throat to make sure that she would sound as confident as she wanted. Feeling satisfied with the feeling of her throat, she then spoke.
“I would like to have Minegishi Minami on the chair now.”
Karomuwi nodded her head to signal that she granted the request, making Takahashi Minami smile. Just then, a girl stood up from beside another girl, who also seemed to be an attorney like Takahashi Minami herself. She walked towards the chair in the middle of the room, and sat down.
The cameras moved to focus on the girl, making her feel self-conscious and fix her clothes. Karomuwi titled her face to try and figure out who the girl seemed to look like, getting the feeling that she has seen her face several times.
“Maybe she’s a daughter of a famous entertainer?” Karomuwi thought to herself, as she tried to search her mind for the possible look-alike.
“Your Honor?” Takahashi Minami said, making her train of thoughts stop with a halt.
Karomuwi looked at her with a blank look, before blinking her eyes several times. She gave an uncharacteristic, sheepish smile and cleared her throat as she hit the sound block with her gravel.
“Yes, The
‘Player Mii’ case.” She sat up straight before continuing. “Attorney Takahashi, you may begin questioning her.”
The said girl nodded her head before turning to the sitting girl with a cold stare. She walked towards Minegishi Minami with a book, and motioned her to stand as she placed the taller girl’s left hand on the book.
“Please repeat what I’m going to say.” She instructed before continuing on, after Minegishi nodded.
“I swear to speak truth, and nothing but the truth.” Takamina said, and waited for the taller girl to recite what was spoken.
Minegishi cleared her throat before reciting what was spoken, not noticing the mischievous glint in the shorter girl’s eyes. After she had spoken the sentence, Takamina added.
“If I were to be found speaking lies, I shall stop calling Takamina names such as Takamidget, Bakamina, and etc.”
Miichan’s eyes widened as Takamina’s lips formed a smirk. She looked at the judge before her, asking through her eyes if it was allowed to do such blackmail. Unfortunately for her, the judge Karomuwi was busy trying to figure out who she looked like, to even notice her pleading look.
“Ahem!” Takamina coughed, catching Miichan’s attention. “Please recite what I’ve spoken.”
Miichan gritted her teeth, knowing that she was being blackmailed. She cursed the shorter girl mentally, and clenched her left hand into a fist as she tried to keep herself from pinching the older girl’s cheeks. At the same time, snickers and chuckling were heard from the Juries and audiences, making Miichan turn her head to give them a glare.
Her eyes locked with a girl who was about Takamina’s height, and Miichan instantly noticed the mocking glint her eyes contained. Miichan growled under her breath and swore that she’d get her revenge.
“I’ll get you for this Bakamina and Squirrel!” she cursed under her breath, as she turned back to the smirking girl in front of her.
“Ahem!” Takamina coughed once again. “We’re all waiting, Minegishi-san.”
Miichan swore that her mouth would have shot off names to call the annoying girl, if it weren’t for the fast biting of her tongue. “Mpmhff!”
She winced at the pain and sighed, knowing that she had no other choice. Just then, her eyes caught a familiar face and she started reciting, as she stared at the girl who had her arms crossed. “If I were to be found speaking lies, I shall
stop calling Takamina names such as
Takamidget,
Bakamina, and etc.”
(Note that italic words for this line are spoken heavily)Takamina smiled at her before taking the book out of reach, knowing how much Miichan wanted to throw the book onto the ground and step on it as she called Takamina names. Unbeknownst to her, Miichan was just smiling as she stared at Takamina’s rival.
“Minegishi Minami a.k.a Miichan, you may take your seat.” Takamina told her as she began to pace back and forth, in front of the girl and audiences to start the case.
She started, “I am the attorney for Shinoda Mariko—”
“—who is NOT here.” A voice interrupted, making Takamina stop her pacing and stare at the owner of the voice.
When she did, the nerves on her head popped and she smiled bitterly as she locked eyes with the girl.
Miyazaki Miho or other known as
MyaoThe girl stood up from her seat, and walked towards the two girls in the middle of the room. She gave a smile and a nod, but respect was not included. Everyone in the room turned their heads Myao before they started searching the room for the missing plaintiff, Shinoda Mariko.
As Myao neared her and Miichan, Takamina gave a sigh. She knew perfectly well why the girl has decided to speak and interrupt her, since Takamina blackmailed Miichan. And the reason for Myao’s revenge, was the fact that she was Miichan’s attorney.
“I was about to state that reason, until YOU interrupted me,” Minami clenched her teeth as she spoke the younger girl’s name. The rest of the people in the room saw the tension between the two, and knew that an interesting case was to be expected.
Myao smiled with a hint of amusement as she heard the older girl hiss at her, mentally. She arched her eyebrow, and crossed her arms as she waited for the older girl to continue. To irritate the older girl, she started humming as she gave a face that had mockery on it.
Takamina opened her mouth to give her defense, only to be interrupted once again by the younger girl. Myao had decided that there was no reason to wait for Takamina to speak and explain, and instantly wanted her to realize what a difficult opponent she was going to be.
She made a beeline to the front of the judge, but not before standing up tall and patting Takamina on the head. She cleared her throat, and looked at the girl sitting in front of her as she gave a slight nod of the head to mark her respect.
“Your Honorable judge Karomuwi,” she started. “I do not understand how this case will be solved…” and then turned to lock eyes with the fuming girl as she continued.
“…If the plaintiff
herself , isn’t here.”
Takamina took a breath to try and calm herself, but Myao only made it harder to calm down when she added, “Care to explain this, Attorney Ta-ka-ha-shi?”
“That’s it!” Takamina thought to herself, and walked towards Myao.
Everyone held their breaths in, as they waited for something bad to happen. The Juries quickly turned to the judge, who now had a bored look on her face as she stared at the two girls with emotionless eyes.
“Why isn’t she doing anything?” Everyone thought to themselves as they sweated a drop.
When Takamina was beside Myao by a few meters, everyone could have sworn the glare that Takamina sent to the smirking girl. However, instead of doing what everyone thought Takamina would do, she just patted the younger girl on the shoulder and stared at the judge who now had her eyes looking sleepy.
“Well, Attorney Mi-ya-za-ki…” she took a breath of air, and continued. “I have NEVER heard of a rule that states the NEED for the plaintiff to be on scene.”
Myao arched her eyebrow and crossed her arms. “But Attorney Ta-ka-ha-shi, isn’t it COMMON SENSE to have the one who submitted the complaint in the scene?”
“There’s no rule for that.”
“It’s plain common sense.”
“NO Rule.”
“Common sense.”
“NO Rule!”
“Common sense!”
The two began exchanging words, amusing the judge who was sleepy a few seconds ago. Her droopy eyes now looked awake and alert as it darted from the shorter girl to the younger girl. Arguments between the lawyers and attorneys have always been her favorite part of every case. Unfortunately for her, the fun had to end.
The cameras had been recording and capturing every passing second, and as a well-respected judge to look amused for watching an argument based on a missing plaintiff was going to ruin her reputation. She sighed and picked up the gravel with her right hand, and hit the sound block.
The two girls looked at her; confusion was evident on their faces. Karomuwi stared at them with those cold eyes, and spoke.
“I can see that you are enjoying this silly argument of yours, and have forgotten the real reason for this case.” She motioned for them to stare around them as she continued.
“May I bring you to your senses, and remind you that you are arguing in front of millions of people. In NATIONAL television?”
The two girls had their eyes widened, making it hard for Karomuwi to keep her composure. “Now, if you would take a sit Attorney Miyazaki, and allow Attorney Takahashi to proceed with the questioning, then I would be mostly glad.”
“But the plainti—” Myao started to say, only to be shut up by Karomuwi.
“There is NO certain rule that says the need for the plaintiff to be on scene.” She picked up a piece of paper on her desk, and spoke. “Besides, Shinoda Mariko has sent me an excuse letter saying that she’s abroad for an important modeling project.”
“Then, may I ask why we should still proceed with this case?” Myao asked challengingly, annoyed that she had to be scolded by a girl younger than her (yep, I’m younger than her
) on national television.
“Well…” Karomuwi narrowed her eyes at Myao as she continued. “Akimoto Yasushi, YOUR producer asked me to let this case continue.”
Myao’s hard stare eased at the sound of AKB48’s producer’s name. Karomuwi added just to make sure that Myao would sit down. “If you have anything to say about it, I suggest that you talk about it with HIM.”
A second passed, and Myao immediately sat back down onto her seat. Karomuwi turned to Takamina, who had a smug look on her face, and cleared her throat. “Proceed with the questioning.”
Takamina nodded, and turned back to Miichan. “Miichan, is your relationship with Shinoda Mariko still good?”
Miichan nodded confidently. “Of course, it is.”
Takamina scoffed as she smacked her hand against the desk that Miichan was sitting by. “But according to what Mariko-sama said, it is not.”
“Well…Uh… We actually have some little problems that could be solved with ease.” Miichan smiled sheepishly as she scratched her head.
Takamina turned away from her as she faced the Juries and started speaking. “And those
little” she air quoted, “ problems are the reason why we’re here today.”
The Jury clicked their tongues, as they stared at Miichan with disappointment. Miichan flinched at the stares she received, but it was just the beginning. Takamina was now facing her, and had her index finger pointed at her accusingly.
“You always have some lovey-dovey moments with the other members, girls, kenkyuusei—”
Myao cried as she interrupted. “We all get it!”
Takamina looked at her, and Myao added. “Just continue!”
The short girl coughed as she tried to get back the composure she had, until Myao interrupted her. “Anyway, you always ditch Mariko, is it correct?”
“Yeah…” Miichan nodded, and quickly added. “Sometimes, only!”
“Can you please tell me more about it specifically?”
Miichan scratched her forehead. “Well…Uh…It’s actually nothing much.”
“Oh really?” challenged Takamina.
Miichan sighed. “Well…There was ONE time when I hugged Sae-chan in front of the troll—”
“—Troll?” Takamina interrupted with a question.
“Attorney Takahashi, please don’t interrupt my client!” Myao scolded.
Miichan continued after receiving a nod from Takamina. “Anyway, I DID hug Sae-chan—”
“Then what?” Takamina asked, not realizing that she has once again interrupted the younger girl.
“Interruption.” Myao coughed, making Takamina send a glare to her.
“May the named ‘Sae-chan’ stand up?” Karomuwi asked, wanting to find out who it was.
Just then, a short-haired girl stood up from the Jury’s seat, surprising everybody. She gave a wave to the camera before giving a wink to the audience, who swooned upon receiving it. A long-haired girl beside her smacked her own forehead and sighed.
“Seems like Miichan isn’t the only pimp in the room.” The girl, Akimoto Sayaka, said to herself as Sae sat down.
Takamina nodded her head. “Then?”
“Then, the next three days was…” Miichan scrunched her nose as she tried to find the words. “literally like hell.”
Takamina sighed as she started pacing back and forth in front of her. “And I reckon that Sae-chan is NOT the only one. Am I right, Minegishi-san?”
Miichan looked at her, waiting for her to continue. Takamina stared at her, and asked. “Can you please name those whom you have cheated with on your REAL partner, Mariko?”
Miichan’s jaw dropped, and she started scoffing. “You want me to name them ALL?”
Takamina nodded, but Miichan just moaned as she hit her head against her desk. “There are too many! I can’t remember!
The Jury, and even the judge, laughed to themselves as they watched Miichan moaned, complaining. She had both of her hands massaging the temples of her head as she tried to remember who she had cheated with.
“I need you to be more serious, Minegishi-san!” Takamina scolded half-heartedly, finding the scene of Miichan hitting her head amusing.
“It’s cute though!” A voice cried, making everyone turn and find a girl about Takamina’s height, smiling.
“Exactly!” Miichan cried as she gave a thumbs up to her, who gave the same action in response.
Takamina smiled and shook her head, as she watched Oshima Yuko get hit by a taller female, who made the others give way for her to smack the girl. Yuko moaned as she rubbed the sore spot on her head. “Nyan Nyan~ Not on national television~!”
The audience laughed together with the judge, and Takamina shook her head with a chuckle. After a second, everyone’s gaze returned to the girl sitting in the middle.
“I know that I’m cute, pretty, and talented. I’ve kissed several members even your fiancée!” Miichan cried, making Takamina glare at her before turning to a girl who sat on a Jury’s seat. “I’ve even made the troll and dangerous dog fall for me!”
Myao rolled her eyes and sent daggers to her, which was ignored with ease by the girl.
Miichan added. “My beauty is no joke.”
Takamina scoffed, and then spoke with pity. “But sadly, your
beautiful image is destroyed by your GACHAPIN image.”
Something clicked inside Karomuwi’s head when she realized who Minegishi Minami looked like. The green mascot!
But something also made a sound, when Miichan shot straight up from her desk and smacked the desk with her hands as she cried. “That’s my charm!”
She hit the desk once more as she pointed at Takamina with an accusing finger. “This is too much! You are WAY off topic by mentioning that!”
Karomuwi hit the sound block with her gravel, catching the Miichan’s attention. “Please calm down and take a sit, Minegishi-san.” She instructed.
Takamina laughed along with the rest of those in the room, before looking at Miichan. “Anyway, Mariko told me—”
“—Told you what?” Miichan challenged, with a hint of annoyance.
“That there was a time when you went out for dinner with another girl from AKB48. But you DIDN’T even let her know.” Miichan looked at Takamina with a calm exterior.
“How do you explain this? And who was it?” Takamina asked.
Miichan laughed to herself, and looked at Myao. The younger girl had an amused look on her face, and Miichan can’t help but laugh even more as Takamina stared at them confusingly.
“Please take this seriously, Minegishi-san.” Takamina asked, as she crossed her arms.
Miichan sighed, calming herself after a few laughs and stared at Takamina as she placed her elbows onto the top of the desk. “I wasn’t going to talk about this.”
Takamina arched her eyebrow, making Myao chuckle out loudly. She stared questioningly at Miichan as she waited for the younger girl to continue.
“But since you brought it up, I’ll answer you sincerely.”
Takamina nodded. “Please go ahead.
Miichan took a deep breath, making it obvious that she was trying to keep herself from laughing. She rested her chin on top of her palms before speaking. “The truth is… The one whom I went out for dinner with is…”
Her voice trailed off, making Takamina furrow her eyebrows. “Please stop stalling, Minegishi-san.”
Miichan flashed her an evil grin, before she spoke in a nonchalant voice. “Well…The one whom I went out for dinner with is…”
Takamina frowned, getting annoyed with the stalling. Her annoyance grew even more when Miichan sent her a wink.
“Wasn’t it…” Takamina’s eyes suddenly widened in realization, when she finally figured out the reason why.
“Wasn’t it you, Attorney Ta-ka-ha-shi?”
The whole room gasped as the news came upon them. Karomuwi dropped the gravel onto the ground, while others started murmuring to themselves. Some were talking about the shocking news, making Takamina blush in embarrassment.
She turned to Miichan who has choked on her own saliva from laughing too much, before turning to Myao who was chuckling to herself. It was obvious just how much Myao enjoyed this, but Takamina paid no heed to it as she smacked her forehead.
“What do you have to say for yourself, Attorney Takahashi?” Miichan asked as she wiggled her eyebrows at the older girl.
Takamina turned directly to the cameras and said, “Hey, Mariko-sama…”
Her voice trailed off as she took a deep breath when she looked down, before she looked up straight into the camera with an annoyed smile. “I thought that you were talking about someone else, but it turned out to be ME!”
She stomped her feet as she cried out, “What the heck?!”
Everyone in the room fell into a fit of laughter. Reporters are writing down on their notepads about the shocking revelation, as they chuckled to themselves. Miichan was smiling to herself and gave herself a mental note to thank Mariko for trolling on their captain.
Just then, Takamina turned straight to Miichan and gave a smile while pleading through her eyes as she asked. “Minegishi Minami, we just went out for dinner, nothing personal right?”
Miichan chuckled to herself as she watched Takamina stare at her, almost bearing a hole through her , if possible.
“Yeah, right.” Myao scoffed, “Just a NORMAL dinner.”
Takamina looked at her to give a glare, but then diverted it quickly to a squirrel-like girl once she heard her speak. “Acchan! Your fiancé is cheating on you!”
“I AM NOT!” Takamina declared, before turning to Miichan with a sigh as she massaged her forehead.
“Let’s skip this UNCLEAR relationship between me and Minegishi Minami.” She said, but then felt a sudden chill run down her spine as she heard the most terrifying voice in her life.
“Minami~” Maeda Atsuko also known as Acchan, called out sweetly. A scary aura could be felt being emitted from her, making everyone around her try to move away.
Takamina gulped in fear, and darted her eyes from her fiancé to the girl in the middle of the room. “A-Anyway, Mariko’s next rival s also a member from AKB48.”
She sighed, knowing that what she was going to say will probably hurt a certain girl. “She kinds of have a great impact on her, making Mariko feel betrayed and brain-damaged because of this CERTAIN girl.”
Karomuwi cleared her throat as she asked. “Is this person in the room, Attorney Takahashi?”
Takamina nodded her head, and Miichan started wondering who it was. Takamina still hasn't continued after the nodding of her head, making Myao tap her feet impatiently.
“Stop beating around the bush and just tell us who it is!” she cried out.
“She is none other than…” Takamina started, before staring straight at the seat of Juries. “AKB48 Team A’s Kojima Haruna!”
The whole room gasped loudly in shock, and turned their heads to the tall, brunette girl. Miichan’s jaw dropped, surprised that had forgotten about Haruna. Karomuwi mumbled to herself, “She cheated on Mariko with those in the Juries. This girl really is a pimp.”
Yuko had her eyes in a teary form as she stared at the tall beauty, shocked and saddened by the news.
“Nyan Nyan.” Her voice croaked as she called out the girl’s nickname.
Haruna turned to her with apologetic eyes before glaring straight at Takamina, who sighed in relief, glad that the attention has now been diverted to her No3b teammate. When Takamina saw Haruna’s glare of daggers, she immediately turned her head and continued speaking.
“Also known as the Airhead Queen in our dearest judge’s story.” She turned to Karomuwi and asked, “Is it correct?”
Karomuwi nodded her head, and turned straight to the camera. “Please read The Akiba Family, Series of (un)Love, and Love’s a Mission.”
Miichan raised her hand like a student, and asked. “What about R.A.Y?”
“That one is still on hiatus. But it’ll be updated soon.” Karomuwi smiled, before turning back to her serious mode.
“Anyway, continuing on with the case…” Takamina said, before she was interrupted by Miichan.
“She’s not really just an Airhead Queen.” She stared at Yuko, who glared at her with deadly eyes. “More like the Goddess of Breasts.”
She smiled a face that annoyed Yuko even more, making the short girl stand up with rage. She tried to get to Miichan, only to be pulled back by the others. Disappointed that she wasn’t able to rip Miichan’s grin off her face, she turned to her girlfriend and gave a pout.
“Nyan Nyan~” tears now started to form in her eyes. “H-how could you?”
Haruna looked at her, not knowing how to react and what to say. Fortunately for her, Yuko continued. Yuko now had her index finger pointing at Miichan, who smirked at the scene before her. “How COULD you?!” Yuko cried in disbelief, before turning to Miichan angrily.
“How could you cheat on me with THAT girl?!” she demanded. “That GACHAPIN?!”
Haruna’s mouth opened, before she closed it once again as she covered her face. “I-I don’t know!” she shook her head and continued. “I-I’m an airhead queen remember?!”
Yuko looked at her, before breaking out into sobs. The audiences looked at Miichan, who just shrugged her shoulders as she spoke. “Don’t blame me, blame Bakamina for revealing that.”
Everyone in the room now stared at the girl with the ribbon on her forehead, and glared. Enjoying the scene in front of her, Myao winked at Miichan. Miichan had winked back at her, before grinning to herself.
“Anyway, I also like Haruna because she…” she stared at Yuko, “has BIG breasts…” then turned to Takamina as she continued. “… and she’s TALL.”
Takamina looked at her, and pointed at her accusingly. “Hold on! I believe that you’re trying to insult us short people!”
Miichan just looked at her, pretending not to know anything as she spoke to Karomuwi. “What in the world is she talking about?” she tried hard to keep her grin from showing, but it was clearly seen by Takamina and Yuko. “I seriously HAD no idea that SHORT people can be this sensitive!”
Yuko stood up straight from her seat, and cried out. “Your honor! That girl is trolling us two!”
“Uh…” was what Karomuwi could just say at the moment.
“Your Honor, please just ignore her.” Myao asked with a smirk.
Miichan smirked and gave a discreet thumbs-up to Myao, before looking at Takamina who now had both of her hands massaging her head. Takamina sighed and turned to her: exhaustion could be seen clearly on her face.
“Minegishi-san, is Haruna the last person on your to-cheat-with list?” She asked.
“Keep dreaming.” Yuko mumbled to herself, “She took my Nyan Nyan.”
Miichan chuckled to herself, before responding. “Yeah, keep dreaming. It’s actually LONGER than your HEIGHT.”
The whole room chuckled, but Takamina just ignored them. Miichan continued, wanting to see more of Takamina’s annoyed face. “If you want to know just how LONG it is, then let’s go out for dinner AGAIN.”
Karomuwi laughed, making everyone turn their attention to her. She had just realized what Miichan meant, and found it really funny. Then turning to everyone else, she gave an apologetic nod. Takamina was now looking at Miichan in disbelief.
“Mariko is going to tear me apart if you keep being like this.” She stated.
Miichan chucked to herself once again, as she spoke, “I hope she will.”
Deciding that if she wasn’t going to be spared from Mariko’s punishment, she sighed and asked Miichan. “Mariko isn’t here today, but I’m SURE that she wants you to stop cheating on her with our Squirrel’s cat.”
Miichan just shrugged her shoulders, as she replied nonchalantly. “Sure. I’m having my eyes on Yuko anyway.”
Yuko choked along with Haruna. “W-WHAT?!”
Takamina sighed, and decided to end her questioning. It was draining every last ounce of energy out of her, and she still needed to have some left in order to make sure that Mariko wins this case. “If you keep saying such things, then I don’t think I should continue on. This case seems complicated.”
“I’m even involved! It’s so embarrassing!” she cried, before adding. “I think I will stop here.”
She walked back to her own seat, before leaning against the chair with an exhausted sigh. Karomuwi nodded at Myao, motioning for her turn. “Miichan’s attorney, you may begin.”
Myao stood up and bowed at her as she spoke, “Thank you, Your Honor.” Then turning to Miichan, she asked. “Minegishi-san, don’t you think that it’s unfair to call you a player or a pimp?”
Miichan nodded. “Yes.”
“All of your relationship with everyone in AKB48, except Mariko, is just friendship. Am I right?”
Miichan nodded once again. “Most definitely, you are correct.”
Myao nodded, before staring at Takamina. “And about you going out for dinner with someone…” she started to say.
Takamina widened her eyes as she glared at Myao menacingly, challenging the younger girl to continue speaking. But Myao just stuck out her tongue at Takamina. Miichan cleared her throat as she leaned against her chair with her arms crossed.
“Actually, Attorney Ta-ka-ha-shi was the ONE who made the first move.” Everyone gasped audibly, and stared at Takamina.
She was now giving the same look she gave Myao a few seconds ago, to Miichan as she asked in a voice that scared the audiences. “What?”
However, her glaring was easily ignored by Miichan’s attorney. She clapped her hands, and spoke. “Then that cleared up the relationship for the W Minami couple.”
She added. “Miichan is always loyal to Mariko, and the attorney on the other side SEDUCED her.”
“Indeed, she did.” Miichan nodded in agreement.
“Minami~” a terrifying voice called out once again.
“Anyway, all of the members are beautiful. So why Mariko?” Myao asked.
Miichan looked thoughtfully as she answered. “To me, Mariko is the prettiest. She’s also a troll, and that attracted me to her. And even more because—”
“—of her height?” Myao interrupted as she stared at Takamina.
Miichan grinned at her, and nodded. “Yes. At least she’s taller than SOME people out there.”
“In this room, perhaps?” Myao grinned back.
Takamina scoffed as she spoke out loudly. “What a weird conversation we have!”
“By the way, I want to ask some questions to clear everybody’s head. Is it okay?” Myao asked, ignoring Takamina.
Miichan nodded with a smile. “Go ahead.”
“Your Gachapin image…” Takamina and Yuko snickered to themselves, earning a glare from Miichan. “It’s so powerful that it even seduced the great Troll, and even Yuko’s Nyan Nyan, right?”
Miichan nodded confidently. “Yes. Yes, it is.”
Myao arched her eyebrow as she continued. “It also made Takamina ask you out for dinner, am I correct?”
Miichan nodded. “Yep.”
Myao stopped to look like she’s in a thought, before breaking a question to her. “Do you think that it’s possible…”
“…With your powerful image…” Everyone held their breaths in as they waited for Myao to continue.
“Do you think that it can change Takamina into a full-fledged girl?” Miichan broke out into laughter.
Myao grinned as she stated. “I mean, she IS a man in a woman’s body.”
Everyone laughed with Myao’s statement. There have been rumors about Takamina being a man, but no one has spoken about it in public. Wanting to make everyone laugh even more, Miichan ignored Takamina’s warning stare and tried to look as serious as she could to answer Myao’s previous question.
“Well…” she tried to look thoughtful as she continued. “…I think that there IS a possibi—”
“—OBJECTION!” Takamina interrupted, and stood up from her seat before slamming her hands down hard onto the desk’s wooden surface.
“I object to that question and answer, Your Honor!” She glared at the two grinning girls, before continuing. “Minegishi Minami and her attorney are going a little too face!”
She crossed her arms, as she gave the table another slam of the fist. “I believe that the topic and the courtroom DO NOT mix well!”
Karomuwi tried to put on a straight face, but found it extremely hard to do so. The look of annoyance on Takamina’s face was just priceless, and the topic just made it extremely funny. She opened her mouth to speak and calm the shorter girl. However, just when she was about to speak out a word, Myao spoke.
“I thought that this was my turn to talk.” Myao said, as she walked to Miichan’s side.
“Who cares?!” Takamina cried out. “Mii?!”
Myao bursted out laughing, angering Takamina even more. Takamina didn’t notice that she had accidentally blurted out ‘Mii’ instead of ‘me’, and glared hard at the younger girl. Everyone was now trying hard to stifle their laughter, seeing how angry their captain was.
“Why are you all laughing?!” she cried out in frustration, when she saw Karomuwi clutching her stomach from laughing too much.
Deciding that it was enough of teasing, Myao cleared her throat and spoke. “It’s
me. Not Mii.”
Takamina looked at her confusingly, making Myao continue. “She’s
Miichan.” She pointed at the said girl while enunciating the name, before pointing at Takamina as she spoke. “You’re supposed to pronounce it as
me, and not her name.”
Just then, realization struck Takamina. She smacked her own forehead with her hands, and sighed depressingly. When she looked up, she saw Miichan sticking out her tongue at her as she spoke.
“That’s right, Bakamina!”
Deciding that it was a mistake to be laughed at instead of fussing over, she smiled. “Eh? Is that so?” She started laughing in embarrassment, as she scratched the back of her head.
As she watched everyone laughing in front of her, Karomuwi smiled to herself. She had never thought that a cheating case would be this hilarious. She had never heard of an idol group called AKB48, since she never paid her country’s idol groups any attention.
But after seeing this case, she formed a conclusion in her head and made a mental note to watch this idol group in front of her once the case finished. Maybe she would even go to one of their concerts, and have an oshimen.
Just then, a vibration from her robe’s inner pocket interrupted her thoughts. She discreetly took out her phone, and read the message quickly.
The ratings are off the roof. You can stop the case now.
~Akimoto YasushiKaromuwi arched her eyebrow and quickly typed down her reply.
Who wins the case?Another vibration came, and she smiled with a quiet chuckle. She put her phone back into the pocket and looked over to the girls in the middle. Takamina was now standing in front of Myao and Miichan, and she was giving a talk about the reason she won’t join the others for a bath.
Karomuwi cleared her throat, catching everyone’s attention. “I think that what you’re discussing is way off topic.”
“I have made my decision, so please take a sit.” She said.
The three girls in the middle did as what was said, and sat back down to their respective seats. Everyone in the room has wiped away the smiles off their faces. Cameras and jib arms focused on the judge, who was now looking at Miichan.
“I have made a decision based on what I’ve
heard.”
She took the gravel into her hands, and hit the sound block gently but loudly. “Shinoda Mariko has won this case.”
A sigh escape Myao’s mouth as she mumbled to herself, “I knew it.”
But just before she continued, Karomuwi nodded at the cameras and guards that stood beside her, waiting for any order. Getting the knowing look, the cameramen and reporters switched their equipment off. The guards nodded their heads at her, and made everyone, who wasn’t an idol, to leave the room.
Seeing that no one else besides herself and the group AKB48 was in the group, Karomuwi then placed her elbows on top of the desk, and spoke. “However…”
“I declare that Minegishi Minami gets the permission from me…” she narrowed her eyes at the said girl before continuing. “…to continue on.”
Myao stood up, and asked. “With her current situation, Your Honor?”
Karomuwi nodded her head, and took a breath. “Yes. She can continue on being a
player or a
pimp.”
Takamina’s jaw dropped, along with everybody else’s. Karomuwi sighed, knowing how unreasonable her condition was. But just then, an enthusiastic cry was heard.
“Yes!” Miichan cried happily, and grabbed Myao by the hand. “I can continue!”
Takamina opened her mouth to try and ask Karomuwi, but the young judge has taken the gravel and hit the sound block as fast as she could. “Case dismissed!”
With that, everyone knew that nothing and no one would be able to change the judge’s mind. They all stood up from their seats, and walked out of the room as they talked about everything that has happened during the case.
The moment the guards opened the doors, reporters and cameramen all tried to squeeze their way through one another to get a member to answer their questions. The members’ managers made a way for the whole idol group to walk through, keeping the nosy reporters out of way.
The doors closed, and Karomuwi heaved a sigh of relief. She took off the robe, and folded it. The guards have closed off the room, leaving her alone. However, that wasn’t the case. The moment she stood up from her seat, a figure moved out from the shadows of the dimmed room, startling her.
She stared at the figure as it slowly revealed itself to her, and found a certain person smiling. She smiled to herself, and got down from the high seat to greet the unannounced guest.
“Hello, Yasushi-sama.” She greeted with a low bow.
The said person nodded in acknowledgement at her, before patting her head as he gave a warm greeting. “Hello, Katherine.”
“I did what you asked, Uncle.” Katherine smiled, as she removed her uncle’s hand off her head.
“Thank you, Kath.”
“May I ask one thing, Uncle?” Katherine asked, as they started walking towards the door.
“What is it?”
“Why did you ask me to take this case? And why allow one to file a case against another member?” she asked curiously as she tilted her head to the side.
“Didn’t you want to be on National television?” Her uncle smiled at her, before stopping right before the doors. “And besides, I wanted to raise up the ratings.”
“Ratings?” she asked confusingly.
“My girls didn’t know that today was just one of the shows I made.” He answered.
She arched an eyebrow at him, as he asked. “Don’t you already have several shows?”
“Well…” he started, “…this one is specially made to please the fans.”
She continued looking at him confusingly, making him smile at her as he explained. “You can say that this is a fan service show.”
“Hmm~” Katherine scrunched her nose as she asked. “But won’t this reveal their relationships to the public and cause uproar?”
Her uncle shook his head as he grabbed the doors’ handles. “It’s a show that gives fan service. No one will suspect a thing.”
“This will also help them in revealing any relationship they have with one another.” He smiled proudly at himself.
“Great idea, uncle.” She complimented, while giving a thumbs-up to him.
He returned the gesture as he spoke. “Of course! I’m THE Akimoto Yasushi.”
He turned the knob, and let his niece to exit the room before exiting as he mumbled to himself.
“Episode 1 of
AKB48 no Fansābisu no Shō” he smiled widely before closing the door. “End”
To be continued?
