Ritsu Sakuma Idol Story 1 (Ensemble Stars!!)
translated by: sesera
Location: Meeting Room
Ritsu: Zzz, zzz… ♪
...Mm? Huh, it’s morning already? But I don’t feel like I got enough sleep at all.
Wait... Hmm? Where am I? This isn’t my bed at home.
Well, whatever, it doesn’t matter... Right now, getting sleep is more important ♪
Good niiiight, zzz...
Gwuh?! Hey! What was that? My head isn’t some sort of household pest, so I’d prefer it if it wasn’t whacked with a rolled-up magazine.
Hmm? If it isn’t the Producer. Hiii ♪
What are you doing here? Are you still working? You really do love work.
Me? I’m taking a nap... Yumenosaki Academy has a nap room but ES doesn’t, so I have a hard time finding a place to sleep.
Producer, you’ve got some authority, don’t you? Find some reason to make me a nap room in this building.
And put a nice, soft, clean bed and pillows in it... ♪
It’s the Producer’s job to make idols’ requests happen, isn’t it?
I can’t get a proper rest sleeping on this hard conference chair, so I would say we have a problem in terms of keeping myself healthy.
What? I should go home and sleep there? I guess I could, but...
My house is just the tiniest bit far from this building. I don’t know why Ecchan decided to build it here, I wish he’d think a little more about my convenience.
Even though he thought about Secchan and the others who are working abroad and arranged for an airport and private planes that are free for idols to use...
It’s just blatant favoritism. I want you guys to think about things I would need.
I’m exhausted every day just commuting to Yumenosaki.
It’s way too much trouble to get on a different train and come to ES. I’m waiting for warp technology to get developed, like in science fiction.
The dorm looks pretty close, but I don’t want to look like I just copied my brother who’s already living there...
And my bed at home is already perfectly customized the way I like it. It would be too annoying to fix up a bed at the dorm from scratch.
Ahhh... The world is just full of super annoying things.
If I become more accomplished as an idol, I can probably get my own way most of the time.
But things have gotten shaky ever since Knights changed to the new lineup, but mostly I don’t want to still be relying on my brother’s fame to get me out of trouble.
The road ahead is so long and steep that it’s really discouraging... Nooo, I’m weighed down by so many thoughts that I can’t sleep well.
...Oops. Sorry, sorry, I wound up complaining. It looks like you’re about to have a meeting in this room, Producer?
I’m right? Yeah, I thought so, you’ve got a bunch of what looks like papers for a meeting under your arm...
Heheh, I have advanced powers of perception so I can understand a situation while moving as little as possible ♪
I guess that means I’ll be in the way if I go to sleep here. Sorry, sorry, I’ll move somewhere else.
But, hmm... It’s raining today, so I can’t really use my other nap spots like the roof or the emergency outdoor stairwell, huh?
Hmm? What is this, why are you giving me a... Key? You gave me a key?
What does this unlock? Hmm, this is the key to your locker?
There’s a sleeping bag in there, so I can take that and sleep on the couch in the office?
Do you do that a lot to grab some sleep during busy periods?
Whaaat? I know I’m the last one who should be saying this, but you should go home and sleep there.
If you keep up this lifestyle, you’ll wreck your health and age yourself prematurely. And your blood will start to taste bad.
Never mind. I don’t want you to take this as one of my vampire character jokes, so I’ll say this properly as myself...
I, Sakuma Ritsu, am warning you, with all my love*...
Take good care of yourself. Please, promise me you will.
In reality, no one’s asking you to dedicate your life to serving them...
I’m saying this because I know a real idiot who wore himself to the bone through selfless devotion.
Idols are nothing but a job and a way to make money in the end. The same is true for you, Producer.
Do you know why we’re making money?
So we can live happily, probably. But won’t it all be pointless if you ruin your health along the way?
I’m sure some other meddlesome bunch has already talked your ear off telling you all this already, right?
...Hmm? The same goes for me?
I should take good care of myself too? I’ll catch a cold sleeping here and it’ll make my joints hurt, so I should go home and sleep in a warm bed...?
Heh, I see. You’re still a baby Producer, but you’ve got the audacity to tell me off.
I didn’t say I don’t like it when you’re feisty, though. ♪
Heheh. Fine, we’ll both be careful. Let’s live long lives and have lots and lots of happy moments.
Yup. It’s a promise, Producer... ♪
