Outdoor Concert Venue
(It’s finally the day of the promotional live show…! We finished the dress rehearsal and the doors are open. My stomach is full of butterflies…!
The seats are about half full… As expected, the reality of the idol business is tougher than I thought.
Still, tourists will be in attendance the day of the tour concert, so I’m confident we’ll have a full house then!)
This stage is massive compared to the one in Beppu… I’m so nervous.
Don’t screw up this time, Taotao. You’ve been bumping into me during the formation changes lately.
Hey—…, that’s because you’ve been ignoring my signal…
Excuse you? It’s Chii’s fault?
Haah… I get it. I’ll be more careful.
(Those two are still prickly with each other? But it seemed like they had finally synced up during the rehearsal…
Anyway, my biggest concern at the moment is…)
…(sighs)
You don’t look well, Raito. Is everything alright? Your blood pressure is lower than normal and your complexion is pale.
During rehearsal, your movements were delayed 0.75 seconds on average to your usual performance. This result is statistically significant.
Raito-san, are you feeling sick…?
No…
(I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen Raito-san smile…)
Raitin, has Mr. Stage Fright finally caught you~? I know, let’s shake off those nerves with a Dazzle live!
Reading some comments from the fans waiting in the audience will send over lots of good vibes!
Wait, Chihiro…
——— Chihiro starts a Dazzle live.
Heyooo. ☆ Saying hi from backstage at the Ev3ns concert! Please send in your love and support so we can do our bestest for you all! ♪
Kinyari~. Say hi to the fans! Ooh, or do that thing Chii taught you!
Hello, I’m Ev3ns’s Shortcake-chan, Kinyari.
(Kinari… How incredible. He’s grown so much as an idol…)
I am also referred to as the Ice Prince of Ev3ns.
Ahaha! Kinyari’s so adorbs! Totes on fleek~!
We’re going to send you guys all our love today~! Right, Raitin!
…
(What’s going on with Raito-san? He’s acting strange…)
My apologies, but I have something serious to discuss.
(Wha—? Should I end the stream?)
Chiimunity! We’ll catch you all after the show, so bye-bye for now. ♪
I stopped the stream, Raitin! It’s okay to talk now!
…
I’ll say it without embellishment… Today will be my final performance as an idol.
!?
I intend to announce my departure from Ev3ns after the show.
Huh…? B-but… I don’t get it. What are you even saying, Raitin…?
Raito-san, hold on a minute. What happened? You’re joking, right?
It’s not a joke. I’ve already made my decision.
Raito. It would be unconstructive to quit now. Ev3ns is still in its early phase as an idol unit.
T-that’s right! Today is our first ever official live show!
That’s of no consequence. I decided to quit, so that’s what I’m going to do.
But still, isn’t this decision too self-centered…!?
Ahaha, did you only just realize that, maci? He’s always been a selfish man.
Huh? No… That’s not…
You’ll understand if you think it through. He only ever belongs superficially. He dismisses the past as the past — something to be discarded — and only looks forward.
Because you’re incapable of loving anyone. Isn’t that right, Raito?
K-Kuguri-san…! That’s too much…!
What are you even saying, Kugurinu! Raitin is always super duper nice!
……
Nice, hmm? Speak up, Raito.
…
Raitin is always sincere with his fans! There are loads of fans that love him!
He’s always giving lots of love back to them…
Please stop, Chihiro.
I’m sick of hearing that stupid word.
Huh…?
I don’t understand because I’m different from you. There’s no way any of you could relate either.
I’ve never loved the fans…
What…?
Being loved is excruciating. What am I supposed to do when I keep receiving something I can’t give back!
At any rate, I’m going to die in three years! It’s pointless to remain an idol if I’m going to be in pain the entire time!
It’s my life. What’s so selfish about choosing how I want to live! It’s infuriating to always treat love like it’s the most important thing in the world!
If being unable to love is a disqualification as an idol, then I quit!
…
What…? Did I just…
Excuse me! What kind of livestream is this!?
Huh…? Livestream?
…Ugh.
Wha…? No way, I stopped it. How… Was all of that recorded?
The entire venue is in mourning… Most of the fans out there follow your account…
Is it Chii’s fault? Is this all because of Chii? I’m… I’m so sorry…
Cut the shit, Raito!
…
What are you trying to do, pulling this crap right before the show…? Nothing here is close to finished yet!
You’ve always been a selfish jerk, but whatever the case may be, you’ve never quit without achieving some degree of success!
Have you lost your only point of merit!?
This wasn’t… my intention… I just… Because I can’t love…
….Enough. It’s almost time to start the show. We’ll talk later.
Explain yourself to the fans and give them a proper apology. You’re the leader, so do your job.
…
At Stage
Is Raito-san really going to quit…?
It kinda looks like they had a fight? Do you think they’ll break up…?
Huh? Didn’t they just start though…?
(What should I do about this atmosphere…? It doesn’t look like they can even handle introducing themselves…)
For the time being, let’s start the music and get the performance rolling. Their heads should clear a bit with some movement.
T-that’s right! Let’s give it a try!
——— The music starts, and Ev3ns begins singing.
Backstage
(Ah… They’re performing…! But for some reason…)
They’re as terrible as when we first started practice back in Beppu. All of their movements are disjointed.
(Now what? The fans seem to be unenthusiastic and confused… It’s a shame because Ev3ns worked so hard to gain all these fans.)
——— Sounds of fan clamoring can be heard, and someone is rushing at the stage.
Um, there’s someone suspicious looking on the audience monitor, Nayuki-kun! They’re rushing to the stage!?
…!
Raito Kitakata!! You’re the one who stabbed Yamanami in the stomach!!
ROT IN HELL!!!
…
(Why isn’t he moving out of the way!?)
Damn it…! Are you trying to die, dumbass!!
Nayuki…!?
——— Nayuki pushes Raito out of the intruder’s way.
…!
You bastard, get outta the way… Ugh!?
Ugh, guh… How… I didn’t see anything… Uguh…
(The man suddenly flew backwards!? Kuguri-san, what did you just do…?)
(Coughing)
Nayuki-kun!
——— Nayuki loses consciousness.
Nayuki… Nayuki!
(Raito gasps)
Blood… The blood won’t stop. Why… Nayuki… NAYUKI!!
I-I’ll call an ambulance!
Chief, Nayuki’s blood… it won’t stop… Nayuki was… He was protecting me…
D-die…? He won’t die, right…? H-he can’t… Not like this…
… (Panicked silence)
Nayuki…
Nayuki, Nayuki… Don’t die, please don’t die…!!
Uuuuuhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
——— The sound of sirens is heard approaching.
