U's School Idol group continued practicing and with Eli's assistance to the overall dance steps, they made a leap, putting their performance with higher professionalism, energy, and quality. Although the workout was hard, everyone persevered with smiles on their faces.
Hiroto did his job by supporting everyone, reminding that they also study which brought displeased faces to the 'dumb trio', who ultimately forgotten their basic task as a student, and that was studying. By getting reminded by everyone, even if they didn't want to, they won't be able to escape their respective tutor's clutches.
During the time, they have been visiting the lovely maid Asumi, the aspiring doctor. She also committed in participating to their study group while bothering those with similar subjects she's learning.
Maki had turned belligerent, because of the disturbing presence Asumi brought. Even if she was so annoying, the legendary Ashumi had been learning medicine and others with Maki. Asumi also brought up other question pressuring her by asking if they already 'did' that.
Although, at the start, Maki ignored the playful maid redundant questions. Asumi pursue the questions while hearing this made him show an exasperated face.
Afterward, Maki who had enough of getting peppered by questions responded lazily with a lowered voice, although, there's an enlarging red hue on Maki's face. Asumi grinned while looking at Maki's flushed face, it seems that even though they haven't done the extremes 'yet', the relationship between reached some good amount of progression.
"You're too advanced kouhai.." Hiroto didn't mind her words, though her words made him raised his brows but seeing Maki's currently flushed face made him calm before grinning at Asumi. Afterward, he brought up few hard 'lessons' that made Asumi's face green.
Asumi imagined while rubbing the top of her ballpen on her head, "He's a devil on his own right. It's scary how he can keep up, though he's just a first-year high school." She looked down on the scattered paper lying. She had been trying to understand the formula on her own and applying it to the problem.
Hiroto chuckled while patting Maki's head softly which she didn't mind. She was more contended to study her own adding his care which made her smile a little, "If I don't ingrain the lesson in your brain then, there's no need to be studying, only those competent, virtuous students had the right to learn on their own."
Hearing that made Maki look at him raised brows before she quickly got back to studying not until she reminded the orange-haired girl on her left to continue reading the topic she had gave to her. Rin though wasn't pleased, but she couldn't anything other than sound a helpless sigh.
Asumi retorted as she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I don't study under you, I can learn anything, as long as I try!"
He rolled his eyes and saying, "Then, are you saying you don't want me to teach you?" After all, he had been visiting and educating the girl. While it was embarrassing to get teased by her when alone, but if it was the opposite, it made him feel she's just frail and immature that needed to be protected. Although it might just be his imagination.
Asumi looked down timid and said, "T-That's.. no.." Although her outfit right now was that a maid, it still made her so adorable. She took care of her appearance rather seriously, even if her preference lean towards 'cute'.
While in reality before she happened to meet with Hiroto, Asumi who was hardworking can barely keep up on studying all of the lessons she had. She knew she wasn't talented but she had one of the most important things when it comes to personality and that was persistence. She's a hardworking girl and although she will reach her future job in the future, she won't be able to get to a higher standing. She knew that it will happen but as long as she got to enter a college and finished schooling. She would just continue living with her father's clinic or if not, find a stable job. It won't be as depressing rather than not trying to pursue what her father had failed to do.
Asumi was really grateful at his help, he had already left a mark on her heart which she assumes like he was somewhat her big and little brother.
She even had the tendency to call him 'Ototo-kun' alone and thought she would blush because of her borderline words which just make it more interesting. She still has to act with him as a lover in front of her father, thankfully, her father was busier than normal. The happier her father, the happier she was, as the clinic had been getting more visits lately, it made their bonding better. But she had been pestering her to make him visit their clinic again.
Asumi 'fakely' slumped on the floor as she looked at him with watery eyes, cutely, while gripping her hand like playing with her finger "Please continue to teach me with my studies..."
Hiroto smirked, "What is that again?" He already knew this girl for some time and already knew that she had the tendency to tease him.
"You're such a dumboo, che.." Asumi was surprised that he didn't fall to her 'acts', she snorted while looking away albeit was noticed by him.
Rin, who saw what had happened, approached the 'fake' crying of the adorable maid girl as she hugged her behind. Hanayo on the other hand was fully concentrated on memorizing the literature that had been given to her.
"Yosh… Yosh... Hey, don't make her sad.. Look she's sulking… Yosh... Yosh." Rin rubbed the back of Asumi and felt that someone took the bait. Asumi raised her head while she looked at him resting on Rin's shoulder before putting out her cute tiny tongue.
"Look at her!… Well... I won't stop teaching, just ask me if you don't want to." He looked at the cuddling diminutive girls. Both had bountiful bottoms while feeling a little weird at their antics, he felt that they might have somewhat of a kinship towards each other.
"If this guy stop teaching, then I'm going to punish him.. And Rin, why don't you come here and answer the question I had given out?" Maki quietly pinched his waist that made him groan and as soon as she was satisfied, looked at the Rin who intentionally didn't answer her call.
As if Asumi had some injustice, Rin said seriously, "Can I just have some time Maki-chan? Look at Asumi-chan, she's so lonely right now~" while she intermittently patted Asumi's head.
"Hey! You just want to skip the question!" Maki stood up and approached Rin before she chopped down at the short orange-haired girl. Rin yelped in protest while Asumi who felt her plight began to pat the other in the same way.
Everyone had the same line in their minds, "What did you learn being his girlfriend." Astounded as everyone was, Hiroto himself wryly grimaced while rubbing the pain on his waist.
Asumi who had recovered pounced towards Maki and started another teasing bout, "Ata girl... Maki-chan!!!"
"Hey-y, don't get so touchy!!" Maki startled before wanting to remove Asumi only to fail, she didn't try to hit them again as she understood everyone might get angry at her. So she loosens her grip and just let the maid touch her with a comfortable smile.
"Maki-chan!! You're so adorable!"
"Heyy! Can you stop it already?" Maki who had enough followed another chop on the head, Asumi fell sloppily as she rubbed her head. Before laughing out loud, accompanied by Rin who had the same red bruising on their head.
-
Eventually, Eli had been introduced to Asumi while Eli joined because she decided to help in teaching the worst members, albeit even protesting, weren't able to do anything.
At first, Eli didn't like Asumi's teasing attitude, she didn't have the courage to administer her since she had learned that she was an alumni in the school, the school which she wanted to protect. Afterwards, was eventually had a tacit agreement with each other.
Eli also met up with his mother, Mamako, who again, treated Eli like her daughter like she did with the others.
Eli, unlike others didn't became concious of him while she answered Mamako's specific questions regarding her relationship with her son, brushing it off with her serious-minded personality. Mamako felt she would be a great addition with the occuring night talk alongside Kirisu.
In the end, Eli had mellowed and as everyone already knew she was approachable, she was like Umi, who liked to spectate and only talked about necessary things. But if you talk to her about you're problems, she would 100% sure willing to help out.
-
Although they would have a live performance in the coming week, they would rather have a copy of the original music for compilation and it was also for emergencies.
The majority of Mamako's reason as to why she was in the company of the girls was because Mamako was a little worried about her son's and Maki's relationship. Her target was of course Maki, while she had felt Maki wanting to talk about a different matter, she just concluded it as being shy with her.
With this enlarging number of girls around him, Mamako began getting signals with her imaginary 'antenna'. Since her son's girlfriend might have some trouble dealing with things so as her duty as a mother. She lectured Maki carefully, when it comes to being 'protective' towards the relationship.
Maki, who was on the receiving dutifully learned while taking notes on how to be a better girl.
With an exasperated sigh just continue doing what he was working on, while he would listen to the talk and make some comments about his mother strange talk.
Everyone had the chance to meet up with Eli's little sister, Arisa. She was really cute and bubbly. Her eyes wandered here and there. Arisa got even more energetic when she and Yukiho started fangirling the individual school idols members and separately Hiroto, by getting his signatures eagerly to show off at school. They kept asking what compositions he would next release and although, he gave them inside information. He still reminded them not to mention it to others early making them giggle and happy at the same time.
"I'm really looking forward to U's next performance and thanks for inviting my sister to join." Arisa bowed her small lithe body gracefully, although she's more like the younger version of Eli as she really looks similar to her. Which made the others take advantage to make fun of Eli, making her embarrassed and red.
"We're more glad that she joined, she had already contributed with little time to the group. Thankfully she decided to accept our invitation." Umi said with a soft smile on her always serious looking face.
"The group invited her? That's amazing… Can I get in the U's as well in the future?" Arisa's eyes beamed as she approached them. When she learned that her big sister joined the U's school idol, she was shocked but got more energetic, she suspiciously looked up and down towards her great sister's body with interest. She had already talk to Eli about joining school idols but she didn't she would be the one to join.
At first, Arisa thought her big sister was joking but she quickly learned it from Yukiho as then, she had gotten the chance to spectate one of their practice and recording which she come to love to join everyday, sadly, she's still taking classes on another school.
Hiroto nodded while helping out with the recording, he teased, "Of course, you and Yukiho are more than welcome to. You can even become the leader when the next generation of Otonokizaka school idols."
Arisa waved her hand as she beamed with a wide smile on her face, making her really cute like an angel, "Really?! Harasho! Harasho!" Her verbal tick though had been heard by the others. Yukiho on the other hand saw Honoka's raised brows while looking at her, seemingly didn't believe her wanting to be a school idol of the school. By then, Yukiho showed puffed up her non-existent chest and pointed at her sister wanting to prove that she will join Arisa.
"Harasho?"
Some haven't heard Eli use it in the past so after leaving the recording booth, she initiated explaining the topic albeit a little embarrassed herself, "Ahem… We lived overseas for a long time... Russia to be specific, our grandmother lives there."
Eli and Arisa were clearly foreign citizens, as for the reason they were studying here purely because it was the hometown of her grandmother. They were living at the mansion of her grandmother and the majority of her reason being was because she wanted to please her getting sicklier grandmother, that she declared she protected it. Her parents didn't have time, clearly due to their rich standing, as they don't live in Japan. They already knew Eli can take care of both her and her little sister so they let them on their own.
"Don't worry I will support you two!" In the end, Honoka just grinned before laughing at her little sister's display while making a thumbs-up gesture.
Nico wanted to show off again, but she held her words since the titty-monster was nearby. Although she's clearly imagining in her mind. 'Not better than my Nico-Ni style though.' But before she could laugh out loud in her mind, she shivered as she saw Nozomi licking her lips looking while she raised her hands towards her. Nico was only able to let out guttural sonorous cries while the others didn't mind their usual gimmick.
Hiroto and the other continued to work on the U's next project, the title of the next song was, "Bokura no LIVE Kimi to no Life."
The first song they will perform as a complete group of 9, as they didn't think it was good to add more members at this point since it's like fate had already predetermined their numbers by the shrine maiden, Nozomi.
Clearly, their positioning in the stage had been solidified at this point, adding will just destroy their unity.
