Route B: Lesson
- Before the LiveE -
*Giggle*
My absolutely cute Live will be starting soon♪
Haah… I am the star of this Stage.
The Cute Me.
I am so entranced.
You were looking forward to this too, right, Producer-san?
P: Of course.
……hmm? You're rather quiet.
Are you really riled up?
P: Of course!!
Reply with that kind of emphasis from the start.
Now then, I'll make sure this Stage is a success,
So look forward to it♪
Live: To my darling...
- After the Live -
Phew… thank you for the hard work, everyone.
P: How was it?
Eh? You're asking me that?
Obviously, everything was perfect for me!
However, perfection doesn't happen on a whim!
This only happened because of my efforts!
Thus, I had done my best. You understand, yes?
P: I do.
Then, please reward me with something!
P: What are you saying!? Sachiko!
W-what is it, all of a suddenly!?
P: You can still, still Do more, Sachiko!
Th-that's rather obvious, is it not!? My potential is limitless!
P: Then, what you need to do Is training!!
……wha?
P: You're going to train! Sachiko!!
Eh, eh~!?
The next day
Okay, good, good, good!
Sachiko-han. Today, I will be yer instructor today,
In teachin' ya how ta laugh!
What is this? Emi-san?
Come on, get the move on.
I came all the way here ta teach ya how to laugh.
I was told I'm here to train to grow as an idol.
Not to learn about laugh...
Well, no helpin' there now.
You'll understand soon. So come this way!
W-where to…?
Entertainment stage
Wait wait wait wait!
Isn't this where professional comedy entertainers stand!?
Course it is.
Oh, how I adore this stage and setup.
I wish to appear on it for a job.
The time has come~! I, Suzuho, am also here~!
Wah. Suzuho-san. You scared me.
I was on standby all this while… fer 4 hours.
That long!?
That's good, that's good. Yer retort aint half bad.
And, why do I need to learn about laughs and comedy?
Sachiko-han, I know about it.
Ya… like them, no?
…ya like variety shows,
right?
……!
The more an idol aint that good at jokin',
The more that they like attention grabbin' variety shows.
Aint I right?
Uh… w-well, I don't hate them, for sure.
The brilliant feelin' of bein' bathed in the spotlight!
Oh my. Standin' out too much does cause people ta lose interest...
Well, I'm not the type who intends to have others laugh,
But for sure, people do laugh for me. At the least.
Then, we need ta teach ya the ropes! On comedy!
I don't get… what you mean by that...
Sachiko-han… don't underestimate the power of laughter. We'll make ya cry fer that.
Your choice of words already fail to be persuasive, you know?
That's now how ya do it! Yer retort's a little too lukewarm.
This is how ya do it!
"Makin' people cry? Ya then already fail as a comedian!"
Ahahahahaha!
What?
When retortin', tempo is really important.
Ya properly counter the funny man's joke with a good retort.
Ya don't even need a retort that makes sense in the first place.
What's important is that ya don't let the joke remain idle.
Ya take it up and make some connection with them.
Nothin' will work with jus' "I'm so cute~!"
I get it, now~!
In the first place, if anyone could make humorous retorts,
There'd be an oversupply of straight men, and a demand fer the funny man!
Aah.
You'd have yerself a good pair, and if a trio, havin' two funny men is the best.
Ah! If I keep this up…
The world would be insufficient of funny men, wouldn't it!?
Uhm… maybe…?
Yer supposed ta say,
"As if such a funny man disaster would ever occur!"
That kind of retort!
As if I would understand that off the bat!
Well, that'd may have been too hard fer a beginner, since it's usually scripted.
My apologies. Anyways, fer laughter with stand-up comedy and the likes,
Ya need ta communicate. Ya need to polish that side of the act.
And… I jus' explained the basics for the straight man, so onto the funny man.
Handin' it ta ya, Suzuho-chi
Me!? I'mma explain it!?
That's right. Why d'ya think ya came here for?
Ta, ta liven up the place...
So ya came ta be a background character!?
Oh no~! My bad~! What a failure, what an embarrassment~!
Oh, how I wish there was a hole I could jump into~!
Ah, if only there was!
Squirm squirm squirm...
Hm? What are you doing?
There! Now I feel better!
Yer face's still out! This aint enough! Yer not hidden at all!
Really~!? So my cute and cuddly face was still out!?
But Auntie, I tried my best~!
Don't try ta act all cute now! Still, I'm sure yer Auntie's proud, though!
Ahahahahahaha! ...huh?
What? Somethin' the matter?
Is this another one of your acts?
No it aint!
Really, as much as we're doin' our best,
Workin' our bodies to explain, it aint easy!
She's right. If I'm ta explain this whole gig,
The straight man retorts, and the funny man digs the hole.
Aah… You dig, a hole?
Yes yes, ya dig usin' a scooper, like this…
Wait! We can't dig here!
You're really make it hard to understand, you know!?
Let's see, the funny man needs ta create a "hole."
And the straight man is supposed ta aim ta retort at that hole.
Suzuho-chi here tried ta use her entire body to act out this "hole."
I get it...
All I want is ta see everyone laughin'.
Well, I understand now what you two are saying.
I feel I've learnt a bit of something new today.
Thank you very much...
Wait wait wait! Whatcha tryin' ta do, closin' the day like that!?
We're here together ta aim fer the top prize of the comedy Grand Prix!
Eh?
I'm the funny man!
I'm the straight man.
And Sachiko-shan is...
What'll ya do? Which one is it?
Eh, eh~!?
Riverbed
Haah… why do I have to do this...
Sachiko! No idle talk before your superior officer!
Eep! What is it, Aki-san!?
Today, address me as "Sergeant Yamato"! I'm your training officer!
By the orders of Producer-dono,
I am to train you up into the greatest idol there is!
Get ready to be beaten to pulp during today's training!
W-why is this happening!?
First up is the basics! Running to build up stamina!
Eh eh~?
10km of running, you ran well! Good job, Sachiko!
As expected of the idol who can do anything!
That's right, I can do anything… uhmp, geh.
Now, based on the research of modern medical science,
It is said that long distance running is insufficient as exercise!
Eh, that means...
Only running is pointless!
Eh~!?
Now, with the amount you ran today,
Don't worry about the results! What's important is the next part!
Next is training to build up muscle mass!
Muscle training is good for you!
Wha-what?
Come on, to training we go!
My legs, are already strained...
You weakling.
Do you always let Producer-dono carry all of your luggage?
S-something wrong with that?
Producer-san is the one who asks to carry them, so isn't it alright?
It's not that it's wrong.
But, it means you aren't exercising either.
Well, you are right.
However, it's not like I want to be muscular or anything...
You don't exercise for only your own sake!
It's so that you can be reliable when someone needs your help!
That's why you need to become strong.
You can be that cute princess too!
But, if possible,
You can still try to be a cute and strong princess too.
Also, if Producer-dono were to get hurt,
You will need the strength to help him stand up.
If you don't, then today's training is over.
…I'll do, one set then.
It's not like,
I'm doing this for Producer-san's sake!
Fuh fuh. Good to hear that, Sachiko! Now, start training!
After training
Huff, huff… I am still cute, as I train...
I'm strong… and cute...
Good! How're y'all doing!?
Takumi! As you can see, she's doing well!
Huh? Takumi-san? What does Takumi-san have for me?
Are you thinking I came here to give you something simple?
No, I did not mean to be rude or anything,
But I thought you're here to accompany me with training...
Nope.
I'm more specialized in motorbikes, and rather train my hands than just my muscles.
Hear now, Takumi has come here to train you as a fellow officer! Salute!
Wh-wha?
Wh-wha?
Let's do our best, Officer Takumi!
I don't think I'm suitable to be an officer.
But, I think one of my old nicknames will work better.
The Demon Takumi, that's my name!
Oh, I see. I can't keep the pace up in this summer heat...
And, what will I learn from Demon Takumi-san?
I don't know what I'll be teaching just yet.
What!? Are you serious!?
Hmmm, how about teaching you how to throw a straight punch
That can shut up a person who is wasting your time by babbling?
Isn't that a bit too violent for someone like me!?
Well now, now.
That aside, Sachiko-chan, are there anything you're not good at?
None!
You're loud!
Fugyah!
There's no such thing as someone who can do everything!
Just to say, Takumi hates studying for school.
Q-quiet, you!
You don't need to tell her that. I'm the one talking here.
And, so what, Sachiko?
S-something I not good at...
If I had to say, I have a few things that I'm not really good at,
But… there's nothing I can't do at all!
W-what are you trying to say? Tell us the details.
It's just… whisper whisper whisper...
Wha? So that's what it's about.
All you have to do then is ride on the back of my back and ride off!
We'll have the greatest thrill at great speeds. Ride on!
Eh, right now you say? But I'm not prepared...
Suck it up! You don't always have the time to prepare!
We're heading out!
E-eeeeep~!
Have a safe trip!
Aaah, that was fun!
Driving off on a bike is just fantastic!
……I thought I was going to die.
Ahaha! I think you've become a little braver now!
You're not as scared as you were before! I'm sure of it!
I don't think being still alive guarantees that.
But, I think you should drive a little safer!
I do admit, I may have done something a bit too rough for some as proper as you.
But I'm the kind of sucks it up, and lives life in whatever way I can.
What's important is resolve.
Even if you are scared, you need to empty your mind
And just step on that accel, charging forward at neck speed...
That kind of lifestyle.
…is that so.
Well, I'm not saying that you have to do as I do.
I'm just letting you know that there are people who are like me.
Well, I'll keep that in mind.
Gaah! You're one uncute fellow, Sachiko!
Didn't you learn a lot of things today?
How was it?
Yeah, about that...
Considering how I'm originally the cutest idol you can have...
Aside from my cuteness, I have other unique traits.
Entertainment value, and strength… I learned alot.
I understand now why Producer-san had them all teach me these things.
Well, I still think that I am cuter than anyone else!
Heh… as I said, you're one uncute fellow, Sachiko!
I'm cuter than you, Takumi-san!
Shut up!
Ahaha! Ahahahaha!
