Please don't fret! You see that arrow pointing up on the right side of your keypad of your communication device? Just tap on it and it'll turn off!

I haven't heard of that school before, so... What year was it in your world before you came here?

[ ignoring the fact that there are other kids in yumenosaki who don't know how to use a freakin' smartphone, but. you know. gotta make sure. ]

[kanbai]

( In the year 20XX - )

Why does it matter what year it was how is that going to help my snake predicament
Is this really something i just have to wait out
Cant i trade my voice to a sea witch for legs like in that fairytale

[kanbai]

Actually id never trade my voice even for that
I need it
She can have futabahans instead

[ eh................... ]

Well, yes, you do need to wait a while till the Sanguis moon shifts to Cordis, which won't be for another few days. The least you can do for now is lock yourself in your room, or find someone you can trust to moonlace with. Maybe this Futaba-han could help?

I don't think any of the moonblessings would affect voices, though. Are you an idol as well, or...?

[kanbai]

Futabahan has abandoned me here
Or well
She never arrived with me
Which is the worst of her she really shouldve come with me shes supposed to its her duty as futabahan
And ha
Idol
No
I am something far more elegant graceful and important

( If she was talking aloud, there'd be a meaningful pause - and there still is, but it doesn't exactly have the same effect. Too bad for her. )

An actress
A stage girl
Whichever youd like to call it
We deal more with theater though often we find ourselves singing and dancing as well
The heart of it is in the characters and story we portray

[fineprinted]

Theater, huh... There's a theater course back in my school, but Yumenosaki has always specialized more in idols. There's a theater club, if anything. But um, you don't have to throw us idols under the bus... We're still performers in the end, after all.

It's a bit sad that your Futaba-han didn't come with you though. But isn't it better that way? Since she'll be safe from undergoing unique transformations, just as what you're undergoing right now.

[kanbai]

No it isnt better
She should be suffering these trials instead of me

( Despite their relationship technically getting clearer, Kaoruko's still a brat. It's the way of things. )

Or at least with me
Shes the one who worked so hard to be with me right
Then she should be here too!!!!!!!
Ugh!!!!

( Ugh!!! )

[kanbai]

But i guess theres no point in truly bemoaning it
Lest my dear Futaba shows up and sees such an unsightly side of me
Shall we move instead to a more pleasant topic
This "yumenosaki" school of yours
Ive never heard of it so i assume you arent in the tokyo area?

[fineprinted]

Kobe, actually. But we've done many concerts in Tokyo, so we practically know it with the back of our hand.

You're really close with your Futaba-han, aren't you? Which is a good thing, but being entirely too dependent on her would put a lot of stress on both parties, I think. You're a big girl, so I'm sure you'll be able to handle everything from here on out!

[kanbai]

( Ah, Kobe. That's not a bad area - but maybe she's just a tiny bit biased, given its proximity to Osaka and Kyoto. )

I didnt ask for relationship advice for me and futabahan but thank you for giving it
However
We have already discussed such matters in some detail and are happy with current arrangements as they are
Even if i am not happy with her not being here
I have managed without her before i simply just prefer not to

( She managed all right. Mmmhm. )
