Episode 11
Coney
Alright, one, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! You there, raise your legs higher!
Haru
(pants) This lesson's pretty hard today...
Tomoe
(heavy panting)(throws up)
Coney
We're not done yet, you guys! I went out of my way to conduct your lesson in person for once, so give it a little more GUTS!
Haru
G-guts...
Tomoe
G-guts...oof...you say that, but I-I can't take it anymore...as a go-homer, this much exercise is just cruel...!
EPISODE.011: Singing in the Go-Home Club
Part A
Haru
Phew, I'm beat! Coney's so spartan, you'd never think she was a manager.
You
But of course. Coney looks like a devil sometimes when she puts on that jersey.
Tomoe
Uh...H-Haru-chan...
Haru
Though your advice is on the spot. Bit by bit, your words make me feel all pumped up!
Tomoe
Haru-chan, uh...h-here's a t-towel...
You
Your motivation is out there, so even Coney wouldn't dare go easy on you.
Tomoe
P-please u-use this t-t-towel. It's brand new. It's n-not dirty...
Haru
Oh! I was supposed to meet up with Musubi later today! I'll be heading off now! Good work, guys!
You
Don't cool down too much, Haru! Hey, what's wrong, Tomoe? What were you mumbling about earlier?
Tomoe
Haru-chan, this towel is from me♪ Please, feel free to use it♪
You
Uh, Haru already left, though...
Tomoe
.........I know. Just leave me alone, Producer.
...I wasn't able to talk to any of the idols today, either...
Something's odd...I thought I would've been able to make friends with real life idols if I became one myself.
It's already been several months since I joined Nanastar...and I haven't even done so much as talk to anyone from the start...
Now that I've become an idol...well, I should be cute...at the very least, I should have better looks than what I was before.
As someone that hasn't made a single friend...why does it have to be like this?
The world cares for no one and tends to no one...hehehe, this tea's tasty. Only the tea's tasty in this world...I've got to sing...
Haru
Huh? Is that Tomoe-chan over there?
Tomoe
La-la-la♪ I am Tomoe♪ The embodiment of not talking, standing here on this earth♪
Me, I'm just but a little duckling♪ My dream to be popular is but a dream♪ My moment to live is but an ephemeral dream♪
This has been 'Shiratori Tomoe's Theater of Life Despair.' Lyrics and composition brought to you by Shiratori Tomoe♪
...that would sell. This will sell even better than those 7th Sisters! I did it, I am best idol!
[beat]
............whatever. I'm leaving. I'll just sing to my cactus...
Boy A
Hey. That voice just now sounded hella cute. Is that girl an idol?
Boy B
Yeah, I didn't really get the meaning of those lyrics...where'd she go? I could've sworn I heard something around here, but I couldn't find anyone.
An idol nearby here...uh, could she be with Nanastar?
Haru
Tomoe-chan...t-that was awesome! You sure have some talent!
Part B
Hime
Oy, Haru, for some reason, there are people gathering up at Nanastar. Is there some sort of special show going on?
Haru
Hehe, not really, Hime-chan. These are the new fans waiting to meet one of our idols here!
Tomoe
Idol fans...? I-I wonder who. Haru-chan, Hime-chan, did any of you come out with a new song?
Boy A
Come out, idol! We want to hear that song you sang at the park again!
Boy B
Nanastar! There's no use hiding from us! Quit being so stingy!
Hime
The park? What the hell, I don't understand what's going on! Explain yourself, Haru!
Haru
Look, Tomoe-chan. Everyone's come to see you!
Tomoe
C-come to see me...!? W-why? They're probably trying to make me feel bad...
Haru
Absolutely not! They're all fans of yours, and they came to hear your song!
Hime
Ah, so those are Tomoe's fans. You seem like a gloomy fellow, but you've done it!
Tomoe
No way...Haru-chan, I don't like this at all, please don't joke around with me!
If they find out I'm a reclused go-homer, they'll think about messing with me...oh, this is one huge mistake. Is this discrimination against go-homers?
Haru
Jeez, I said they're not! Just get out there and greet yourself! Come on!
Tomoe
W-wh-wh-whoa! D-don't push me, Haru-chan...alright, I'll go, I'll go!
H-hey, guys, this is Shiratori. I'm Shiratori Tomoe, can I help you?
Boy A
Ooh, is that the secret songstress from Tokyo7th Park!?
Boy B
I've been waiting for this! Let's hear your song!
Tomoe
Wh-whaaaaa...? What is this, some sort of punishment? Group bullying? Team Anti-Tomoe...?
Haru
Tomoe-chan, you can do this! Just believe in yourself and let it out!
Tomoe
H-Haru-chan, cheering me on like this...could it be...?
H-have I done it for real? Fans that aren't my cactus at home, finally coming for me...!?
Ye...yeaaaaaaaaaaah! A-a-a-are y'all fired up, you guys!?
Boy A
Yeaaah! We're fired up!
Tomoe
I d-d-did it, for real...! Heh, hehe...even I can become the Tomoe I want to be...!
Hime
Tomoe! Show them what you got!
Tomoe
Y-y-yeah! I-I'm gonna sing. I'll...I'll show you the greatest song I've ever sa--
Oh, no...I'm getting dizzy from the pressure...my stomach's churning up...
Boy A
What's wrong? Sing already!
Tomoe
Worry not, you guys. I won't run away or hide any longer. He, hehe. Ugh...oofh...
Haru
T-Tomoe-chan, are you alright...? Would you like to come back for a moment?
Tomoe
It's alright...I-I can do this. Now, I will si...sin...sing...
Uh...oof...(retches)
Stadium Attendees
Whaaaaaaaa!?
Tomoe
La la la la...♪ My once in a lifetime opportunity♪ Was brought to an end by the worst incident...♪ That is my stance...♪
I wish I could kill this very moment...♪ And let it all disappear...♪
Hime
...yeah, I have no words for this.
Haru
Ha, hahaha. I guess I was a bit too enthusiastic.
Tomoe
I can only talk to my dear cactus...♪ Someday, I shall find happiness...♪ La la la la...
You
Haru, Hime. I noticed a huge commotion around Nanastar. Did something happen?
Hime
I wouldn't really say that something happened, moreso than it ended before it even happened. Something like that.
You
Also, who was singing just now? With that cute a voice, that idol's gotta be around here somewhere.
Haru
And she is! The cute and super talented idol is right here, Producer!
...we're just taking a little break is all!
Tomoe
Hehe...even with a bad stomach, this tea's great...
