Chapter 1: Bad-Sighted Idol Debut - Episode 9

In the dressing room…

Teru: Producer, thank you for today. So, how was our first stage?

Teru: …Did everyone like us? I see… Thank you. Hm? Greet the staff? Oh, okay, later then.

Teru: Haha… Take care, Producer. I figured our performance wasn’t gonna be that good today…

Tsubasa: U-Uhm… I’m so sorry. I was just so nervous and I kept making mistakes…

Teru: Don’t worry about it. Even I messed up in a few places. Today wasn’t your only chance…

Kaoru: …Would you stop licking your wounds and making up excuses? You two can go ahead and try to make yourselves feel better, but unfortunately I’m not like that.

Teru: Sakuraba…

Kaoru: Kashiwagi’s mistakes screwed the whole thing up. We practiced and fixed the part leading up to the chorus. And yet…

Teru: S-Sakuraba, what are…you saying? It wasn’t just Tsubasa’s mistakes. If you’re saying one of us failed, then it’s really all of us who failed…

Kaoru: All of us failed? Unlike you, I didn’t make any big mistakes. Maybe I shouldn’t be a part of this anymore.

Teru: H-How can you say that? The Producer is trying their damn hardest too, you know. We all have one goal to clear.

Kaoru: We’re supposed to be professionals. Do you really think if you just keep saying “I did my best”, then it makes everything fine?

Kaoru: You depend on others, and those who depend on others are unwanted to the idol I aim to be. Today, I was the best out of all of you, as a matter of fact.

Teru: S-Sakuraba! Don’t you dare say that to your friends!

Kaoru: Friends? We’re not even close enough to be side by side, I don’t trust you enough to have my back, and can a friend who just licks their wounds even be considered a friend?

Teru: You… I’ll show you!

Tsubasa: T-Teru-san!?

Kaoru: …Was that…your hand? Did you just hit me? All right. Go ahead and hit me as many times as you want. All the more reason to make me hate you.

Kaoru: Make a scandal for yourself. It’s so unbelievable how unprofessional you are, how can you even call yourself an idol?

Teru: …

Kaoru: Today’s work is over. I’m going home.

Teru: Wait, Sakuraba. Has your leg already healed?
