Capítulo 104: Chapter 94
"Well this is specifically for Umi to try.. I found this when I visited Akihabara the other day. It's a cold Beverage Coke but has a flavor of Green Tea, see the label?" Hiroto pointed at the carbonated' ish green tea,
"Ohhh~"
"We have many so try as you like~" He showed a pack of them in an icebox, before giving each one for them.
"You got it for me? You didn't need to get one for me." Umi shyly, while she put her hand on her hair and got her share. He nodded as he patted her head softly, although it earned a bit of suspicious hint as Honoka began to whisper.
Ultimately, Maki who had been studying on the side just looked and continued what she was doing on the table.
"Areh~ What is this?" Rin's eyes opened like a hint of a playful cat appeared before she began whispering to Hanayo that afterward, she had begun blushing furiously.
"Th-This is j-just ara~ mah~. Umi quickly moved to the side while making excuses, although Kotori and Honoka just laughed before giving a silent thumbs-up. 'Nice one Umi!'
"I see, so Hiroto's going for the other girls now huh~" Nozomi made a hearty chuckle and just smiled.
Eli, who had seen the event, imagined being patted as her cheeks reddened until she easily calmed herself, "Ehem…By the way, guys have you seen our ranking?" She moved to the computer at the side and powered on the screen showing a live counter while showing their rank placing.
"Yes~! We're already 38th! That's 38th place!" Honoka energetically said while smiling towards all of them. Rin who only knew today had an 'O' mouth expression while Hanayo just thought she was dreaming but she got awakened by Rin who had put a cold beverage on her cheeks.
"I can't believe it as well! It's really incredible seeing it myself." Kotori said with so much amazement.
They could easily process that they were now much more popular than before. While due to Eli's and Nozomi's addition, the group became much 'complete'. And with a new vigor due to their completely different approach for their dance steps, they had gathered much larger fans in the process.
"After all, with the new addition, it seems our fan couldn't stop themselves from holding back. He~he." Hiroto made a remark while he sat next toward Maki and began rotating a drink on his hand lazily.
"Well, Eli-senpai is a full combo so attractive to even girls! Look! She's tall, has long legs, and is really beautiful. Most of all she looks so mature! She's not in her third year for nothing!" Honoka made a detective'' while fully appreciating Eli's assets.
Eli made a shy remark, "Stop it! You're exaggerating… can we just start practicing now?" She's turned calm, although everyone subconsciously glanced at Nico for a moment. That made her a little sulky as she looked down at her own self.
"Although, she had her silly side too... Like during that time she mistook a plastic model of chocolate and tried to eat it." Nozomi interrupted while showing a smile towards her best friend.
"Nozomi!"
"Neh~ Hiroto-Kun, What do you think of Umi?" Kotori asked curiously with a glint on her eyes, although she's just implying really, the most silent could be the deadliest ones. Umi, Maki and ultimately everyone was curious.
Hiroto thought 'easy' before speaking with a cough, "What could I say, she's beautiful and lovable. Like her, everyone here had their own special character, and it makes everyone unique and lovely." He explained what he thought about them, with a straight serious face although, it made them a little shy.
Getting complimented made Umi a little red but also happy and skittish. Maki who had heard everything harrumphed before continuing on to what she was doing.
"Ara~ara are you flirting on all of us?" Nozomi licked her lips while looking like a little seductress.
"How bold~ Hiroto-nya~h!" Rin clawed her hands like a cat. Honoka made a knowing smile while Hanayo closed her face to look around with a little embarrassment. Kotori on the other hand just giggled softly.
"..."
"Aren't we going to practice." Eli looked at Umi who seemed to have lost all motor movements and felt that she was the only one that had the smart in the current state of the group. She sighed and glared at Hiroto for a little moment.
--
They had gained a lot of fans, making their group defined to the public. Although, they had made a decision to innovate another way to raise their popularity. The 'Love Live' competition was coming ahead and although they had reached high rank, they still needed to gather more.
They decided to come towards Akihabara again, as, during their group studies, he had become their group driver, as he had been using the car they and Mamako had bought for him. He already completed and got his pro driving license last two months.
"An idea for a new song huh? So we're just going around the city? Why don't we visit a manga or a bookstore we might be able to read any." He suggested. Maki, who was on his left, was currently looking at the passing view at the window, replied.
"Why not just visit the most attractive tourist spots in Akiba? Moving around without any destination sounds so tiring." Maki said lazily while she propped her face too and rested her chin against her hand.
Although they have a car, they won't be able to progress making interesting new songs or ideas.
"Does anyone have a good idea?" He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the girls who had been chatting idle and looked at the driveway, focusing.
"Visit a cat-cafe! I want to cuddle cats~!" He heard Rin reply albeit it made his face cramp. Hanayo added afterward while light started to appear on her eyes.
"I want to visit ric- I mean I want to eat rice! Onigiri Asakusa, I wanted to visit there again! Kuhh~ their onigiri are so delicious~" Hanayo's lips started to have some saliva as she fantasized while looking 'enlightened'.
"I regret asking… well, we could visit them later... Eli, do you have in mind?" He asked. Eli replied to him quickly.
"Well.. we could try visiting Asumi-san or visit Kotori right now." Eli waved her hair while she answered cooly.
"How about you Nozomi?" He asked.
"Don't mind… well if you asked, I want to try going to the place Hanayo-chan recommended though~ Elicchi, you should try eating at a natural oriented place, you might like it." Nozomi began explaining to the highly interesting food she had tried in a different restaurant she tried before, Hanayo entered their discussion though mainly advertising rice balls. Eli and Nozomi just giggled at her cute appeal.
At some moment, he decided they should visit Kotori and Asumi, who was working at the time. He didn't ask Kotori to stop working nor the other girls stopped her since she said because she wanted to. He still told her if she didn't have enough, she could just ask them. She was currently working because she wants to earn money and get fine clothes to use to design their next outfit for their coming performances.
"That's a pretty interesting idea... Why don't we try being servants at the Cure Maid Cafe again?" Hiroto asked.
"Eh? That could work!" Honoka's eye suddenly imagined the scenario. She wanted their next performance to get good feedback, though she ultimately didn't have any idea on how to 'innovate' things due to how simple she thought about things.
They reached the place and although, they decided to visit someplace first as recommended by the unreliable Nico in her persistence.
"It's a little constricted to breath, do we really need to use a mask?" Rin complained, clearly wanting to remove the facemask on her face.
Currently, every one of them wore a mask so that they won't be 'recognized' by their fans, although, she was just exaggerating things. Rather it made them stand out more, as they left the van.
Hiroto held Maki's hand before removing the glasses although he didn't remove the black mask on his face.
"This is so stupid!" Maki wanted to remove the mask on her face but Hiroto stopped her and began calming her.
"In some ways she's right, you have to be careful at times. As you're going to be more popular in the future, you might gain some person that would intentionally hate you without reason, it's better for the safety of everyone, even if it's just wearing a mask." Grasping the feisty girl's hand he tried to appease the red-haired girl heart. Maki only nodded before she brought the facemask on her face again.
"You might be right, but should we be moving now.. Were just going to get more attention at this rate." They had been standing on the side of the road in a line, afterward, they entered Nico's recommended destination.
"School Idol Shop?" Nico snickered because Honoka didn't know the place and began lecturing her the way of 'fangirling'. Of course, as it said, a school idol shop sells school idol exclusive goods. They looked around, and before some time saw their school idol goods, Hanayo and Rin quickly held pins that had their own faces printed on it. Though, the others just couldn't believe that their pictures were being sold here. Although the sold music tracks were pirated, he thought, he just didn't have to remind him right now. Though laterwards, he would settle and sell the U's license music on their own soundtracks thereby gaining at least earning to help the group's financial situation though, they didn't really need it.
"Look, that's really our goods! There's so many!" Honoka quickly exaggerated. Hiroto on the other hand bought some 'goods' that had models and prints of the girls beside him.
"You look so good here Maki. So beautiful and mesmerizing" He showed her a fan that had her face printed on it before he waved it at his face and posed. It was a little embarrassing that Maki had instantly pinched him while she quickly got the piece and brought it out to the car. Though he quickly paid at the counter before returning back to the girls. He also picked everyone one of the U's member collectibles as memorabilia.
"Let's buy this. I could hang it on my wall." He said,
"D-Don't do that!" Umi quickly tried to get the poster at his hands but she wasn't able to do so, she closed at his chest before instantly backing down.
"I'm just joking ha~ha! Well, you look really cute and cool. I'll keep it as a memento." He chuckled and said before
He felt that he might eventually get a Petting Skill because the times he had been petting had increased during this month. Umi got more closer to him and Maki who had always been a little much silent started showing interest in other things because Umi had been telling her some things to experience.
Ultimately though, they were both not so experienced in many things especially talks about love, while Maki didn't chase away Umi, Maki haven't been making suggestions to her either. Although, the talks sometimes go to a rather dangerous way leading to him quickly meditating because of the blushing faces they had.
"Why did you buy so many?" Eli had weird faces when she saw Umi's docile face while he rubbed her head though he stopped after seeing Eli's serious expression and he explained to keep some of them as a memento. Umi ran and followed Maki towards the vehicle as she had also bought somethings she finds interesting.
"I'll get some as well.." Eli did the same thing and began walking towards the counter. Nozomi smiled seeing Eli's rather intriguing expression.
"She might just need a head rubbing why don't you help Elicchi. Hiroto-kun~" Nozomi said while Eli who heard her violet busty haired friend made a remark that almost made her drop as her face ignited in red-like hue before looking at her friend.
"Nozomi!" Nozomi smiled while chuckling softly. Honoka saw Umi left and approached him curiously as she saw him buying their collectibles.
Honoka tapped her posters as she smiles, "He~he, it feels like you're our fan now." Hiroto felt confused at Honoka's rather 'honest', he looked at her with an expression of 'Am I not?'. Honoka blushed and just nodded with understanding.
"Well, you could think of me as the first fan, surely you remember?" Hiroto reminded her while he quickly patted her head in just a moment although her reactions
Honoka left and looked for the other girls. "Of course! I remember~ Don't treat me like a kid! Bleh, ~~"
'I feel like Umi had been tamed by him like this.; Honoka asked herself while tapping her head that had been petted and thought.
While on the side, Rin, Hanayo had been consoling their third-year upperclassmen. Nico asked why her treatment was unlike the others.
"Why do I only have one type of collectible!" Nico said as she felt a little bit teary as she got pacified by the wryly smiling girls.
