Chapter 7: Life is truly something unbelievable
“Wait, are you saying you want me and her to fall down the stairs AGAIN?!?!” Yuki said with Milky’s angry face.
“No, not specifically, but we at least need to find a way to switch you two back.”
“Ripopo, you know something?”
“I will consult the Book of Spirits.”
That’s another part of Riho’s “mystery”. After she received psychic powers, she became a master of the occult arts and would use that book to contact spirits who could help.
“There are a method we can use.”
“Maji?!”
“First, let me ask this. Kashiwagi-san, was there a daruma anywhere around when you and Miyuki switched bodies?”
“Hm… I think so. I’m not sure.”
“If there was, we need to find it so we can summon the spirits.”
“Alright people! Split up and look for a daruma! Any will do!”
“Hai!”
So, after that, it was the ultimate treasure hunt for the magical daruma. We checked EVERYWHERE! The library, the Mess Hall, the top of the school…
“Hey, I found one!” Murashige said, running towards me and Yuki. She suddenly tripped and tumbled down the hallway before stopping and posing, a perfect act.
“Daruma-san ga koronda~”
We all applauded Murashige’s performance as she got up and bowed. Even though her gags are weird, she has her moments.
“Alright, we got the daruma. What next?”
“Now we need to find Miyuki.”
“Where could she be?”
Just then, we all heard the chants of the Otaku Trio themselves, and watched as the three of them passed us, someone with them.
Yuki’s eyes widened.
“W-Watanabe?!”
“Uh-oh, I’ve been caught~” she said turning around, looking at us in a very Milky-esque fashion.
“GET HER!!!”
She screamed and ran off, the three otaku blocking our path.
“You shall not hurt Kashiwagi-sama!”
“She is the QUEEN of the otaku world!!!”
“Well… You’ve got the wrong person mentally...”
“Ha?”
“News Flash, THIS is Kashiwagi Yuki!” Murashige said, pointing to her, “She and Milky switched bodies when they fell down the stairs during a fight.”
“So… that was Milky-sama, just now? Not Kashiwagi-sama?”
“Enough with the ‘-sama’.”
“Okay….”
“So now what?”
“We need to get Milky so we can switch them back!”
“You three, hurry and catch up to her!”
“Yes, sir!”
We saw the three rushing off in the direction Miyuki was last seen. We saw them in an army formation with Kinoshita at the front with the other two behind.
“Ikuzo!!!”
---------------------------------------
“So, Kashiwagi, you’re an otaku, huh?”
Her face was blushing heavily, standing in front of me and the three idols.
“Yeah~”
“How long has this been going on?”
“For a while, I guess. Originally, I was a different kind of otaku, but then I fell in love with idols, and I couldn’t help myself.”
“Wait, what were you originally?”
“Uh… an anime otaku. Most likely why Shiroma-san found me roaming around the manga section of the library and told you guys.”
“No way!”
“Yeah….”
“I heard you were a really good drummer! Can we hear you play?”
“Eh? Right now?!”
“Sure!” Murashige happily pushed her forward to the drum set and handed her lucky drumsticks to Yuki. “Douzo!”
She put on some earphones and turned some music on from her phone (Or in this case Miyuki’s phone). After a few short seconds, I saw a change in Yuki’s eyes.
She played that drum like a true rocker, like I’ve never seen before. She was like a pro. Even Murashige had a tinge of jealousy in her eyes. As she was finished she took the earphones off and sheepishly smiled.
“Sugoi~”
“That was awesome, Kashiwagi-san!”
“Ah.. Arigatou~”
“What song was that?”
“It’s a K-Pop song actually, it’s Adrenaline by TaeTiSeo.”
“And you did that by ear?! That’s a rare skill to obtain, Yuki~”
“Arigatou, Sayaka.”
“WE GOT HER!!!” said Kinoshita as she and the others came with Milky tied to a roller chair.
“Untie me this instant!”
“Please forgive us, Milky-sama!”
“Mou~ Sayaka-chan, do something~”
“Just wait a little bit, Miyuki. We’ll be done in a second. Riho!”
“On it!”
Riho opened her book and said a few chants to herself, then the book glowed and two identical spirits appeared.
“Yo~” they both harmonized.
“What the heck are these weirdos?”
“We are the Guardians of the Daruma!”
“What is your request, mortals?”
“We need you to switch these two back,” I said pointing to Yuki and Miyuki.
“No problem, we just need everyone in here to perform a ritual dance.”
“Dance?”
The two nodded and stepped forward.
“Repeat after us, okay?”
“Okay...”
“WE SERIOUSLY WANNA SWITCH BACK, PRETTY PLEASE!!! RETURN TO NOOORMAL, NORMAL, NORMAL, NOOORMAL!!!”
“Hai.”
“No way.” The idols refused.
“I am not doing that.” The rest of the band refused.
“Return to NORRRMAL, normal, normal, NORRRMAL!!!” At least the otaku trio went along with it.
“Now the switched ones.”
“Eh~? Why me?”
“Plus, if they untie Milky, she’ll just run away.”
“But that’s the point of this ritual.”
“The two of you must be synchronized for it to work.”
“Synchronized? Synchronized...” I looked behind and saw the idol group, looking at us. “Wait, I have an idea...”
-------------------------------------------
“Sayanee, are you sure this is okay?”
“Don’t worry.”
I looked from backstage at the school already gathered to watch our performance. Half were rock fans, half were idol fans, and then there were the otakus lead by Kinoshita, Ishizuka, and Tanigawa.
“I still can’t believe they went along with this.”
“The spirits said they had to be synchronized, and this was the best I could think of.”
“And now, representing NMB Gakuen’s Idol Club, Watanabe Miyuki and Kashiwagi Yuki!!!!”
“Wait… What’s the song they’re going to sing anyway?”
“I don't know, Umechan and Yabushita just wrote that together on the spot~”
The two of them both got up on stage. As the instrumentals were beginning to play, their rivalry started to kick in.
kare no koto nara donna koto datte
watashi ga ichiban shitteru wa
HAYASHIRAISU to hanshin ga daisuki de
JETTOKOOSUTAA ga kirai
You could really see that Miyuki was filled with effervescence and that she was really meant to be an idol. As for Yuki… She seemed mysterious and dark, an enigmatic person at that, no one knew of her past….
But now…
demo honto wa watashi ga dare yori
kare no koto rikai shiteru no
Ayanami Rei to Mutou Keiji no FAN de
atsui ofuro ga nigate yo
Now she’s not even the same person. The sparkle in her eyes gave a new side to Yuki that is finally being released from its restraints.
medamayaki ni wa KECHAPPU
tonkatsu ni wa wo shouyu
hige wa denki SHEEBAA ha
BURIIFU yori TORANKUSU aiyou
koko de hakkiri erande moraou
futari no uchi dochira ka wo
sou yo kare no honmei to ieba
watashi ka
watashi ka
koi wa hitori to suru mono desho
HAATO no dokusenken
“WHOOOO!!! Milky~”
“Yukirin, kawaii!!!”
At least everyone back here seemed to like it. And the otaku tribe seemed to love it! I now hope they go back to their bodies and Yuki could finally join the rock band…
“Arigatou gozaimashita!” I looked and saw the two of them were glowing for a second. I thought maybe it was the lights reflecting off their outfits.
“How’d it go? Did it work?”
They were silent and looked at each other a bit, then giggled together.
“Eh?”
“Sayaka-chan~” Miyuki chirped happily at me. And she hugged me around my arm. “It worked, we’re back to normal!”
“Awesome!”
“So, Yuki, would you like to join us?”
“No, she’d be joining us, you peasants.”
“Actually, I’d prefer to go join the rock band. So I can still be rivals with Miyuki.”
“EH?! HONTONI?!”
Well… At least they went back to their own bodies and a turnaround for us now that Yuki’s joined the band. With a drummer as good as her, we’ll be sure to win this year!
