Moving Day 1
(Uwa, these boxes are heavy! Did Juis-kun throw his dumbbells in here or something?)
(Ugh, we said we'd only bring important stuff back down to the ground. Even if I had an army to help me, I'll never finish this move…!)
(Sigh) I wish someone would come help me…
Huh? You surprised me! It's like you came outta nowhere!
… You just happened to be passing by? Looks like it's my lucky day, then.
Right now, I'm trying to unload all these boxes from the car… Could you help an old man out?
Huh? Fancy meeting you here~ What's up?
… This is a no-parking zone? What? I didn't know that!
The dorm supervisor notified you, so you came and got a parking pass for me? That's way too kind… This old man is deeply moved.
Moving Day 2
Wait, no, I shouldn't be making a girl carry boxes and stuff. Besides, girls aren't allowed to come into Seisoukan, right?
So if you could just help me unload them from the car, that's good enough for me ♪ There's a lot more than I thought there'd be, so I was in a bit of a bind.
Ahh, yeah, they told us we'd be living at Seisoukan while we're actively working in Japan.
The members of MELLOW DEAR US, of course.
Well, this old man wouldn’t have minded crashing with some of the other idols, personally, though?
But it seems like they're finally getting around to giving Esupuri their own room... Apparently they're remodeling the place to add more rooms today.
Yep. I heard they're remodeling the old building, so it looks like we'll be living in the dorm ALKALOID… I think that was their name, used to use.
I was thinking of just renting some cheap old apartment, but~ spending money on rent would be a big waste.
So picking up where we left off at the MEGASPHERE, we've decided to live together and bond as a unit.
Moving Day 3
— Alrighty, that's all of it, huh! Thank you, seriously~ You were a real lifesaver ♪
The other members had different jobs they had to do today, you know. This old man's gotta head back to ES too after this.
Want a ride? I gotta park there anyways. It is super close though.
Yeah, that's what I figured~ With how close ES is, the time it'd take to find parking would be a waste, huh.
Lemme make it up to you another time ♪ 'Cuz this old man won't rest easy until he does.
Welp, see you again at the office. Bye-by~eee!
Huh? You were headed home from ES?
You should've said so earlier! If I'd known, I wouldn't have pulled you aside~ Sorry, this old man's not very perceptive.
I'd love to drive you home, but looking at the time… If you ever need help with anything going forward, say the word.
The Things I Want to Hear 1
"– Like I said, today's just not going to work for me. You get that work piled up for me, right? So I'll just make it up to you another time. I'm sorry, 'kay?"
(Sigh) (I know I did this to myself, but it's still too much of a pain… I completely misjudged this whole thing.)
… (Sigh) I'm beat.
… Huh? Have you been here the whole time?
You got here just now? Ahaha, that's a relief then~♪
Can't have you seeing this old man so tired, now can I! Everything's alright, happy, happy, happy~♪
Whoa, you scared me~! I didn't sense you at all, this old man thought his days were numbered!
Ahaha… You didn't happen to hear that call, did you?
Hm? Ah, you kept your distance because you figured eavesdropping would be inappropriate? I'm sorry I blocked your way…!
The Things I Want to Hear 2
Anzu-chan, are you on any socials? … Ohh, then you gotta give this old man a follow!
I put in a ton of effort keeping my account active, you know.
You're already scrolling through it? Ahaha, that's a competent producer for you.
Hehe, this one~? It was real popular with our wonderful Dears too, you know!
Yeah, this is with Knights. I took it while we were on set together~♪
It even made the rounds with online news outlets. It seems like Knights' fans enjoyed it too.
Ahh, how nostalgic. This was a picture I took after the end of our first show tour, you know ♪
We decided we'd take candids in the dressing room. When I look at it now, we kinda have this rookie feel to us, don't we?
Oh, yeah, for sure. This was back when Chitose-kun was a blonde.
The Things I Want to Hear 3
Alrighty then. Now that this old man's finished his updates, he's gonna go take a nice warm bath~
The bath here is nice and big~ When I was overseas, I had to settle for taking showers a lot of the time, so I can't help but stay and soak for hours.
Tap, tap, tap… aaand sent. Welp! See ya later!
Hm? My post didn't go up? Ahh, I wonder… Is the post buffering or something?
I'll try seeing what happened later.
Ahaha, it's alright! You don't really need to look into it or anything, you know?
Huh? … What's this, soap?
Huh? It's a brand one of the other idols is an ambassador for?1
Thanks, I'll use it starting today ♪
