Ritsu Idol Story - 3

Ritsu: Haah. I worked hard again at today’s lesson.

You did well too, Mikarin~. Haah, even moving is tiring, isn’t it?

Take a rest on the sofa…… He’s out like a light~...... ♪


Mika: Ngah. Aren’t y’tired too, havin’ been’ in the same lesson as me an’ all?

‘M sorry. ‘Valkyrie’ has Oshi-san overseas, so I get lonely doin’ lessons by m’self.

I heard Ritsu-kun say somethin’ just now…… Was I bein’ a bother?


Ritsu: Ah, that wasn’t because of you, Mikarin. I usually live my life in power-saving mode, so I get tired whenever I practice seriously.

Living idly dulls your senses though, so you could say this is a good sort of tired.

Fuaah, fuu…… ♪ Ufufu, sleepiness is a good feeling…… ♪


Mika: ‘M relieved. Then it’s all good~ ♪

‘M really grateful, Ritsu-kun! Ritsu-kun’s m’ saviour ♪


Ritsu: Saviour’s going a bit far…… You helped me out too, so don’t worry about it, alright……?

Normally I’d be practicing together with ‘Knights’, but-

Tsukipi~ and Secchan had work, and it seems Su~chan had some pretty important family matters to attend to.

So you helped me out too by practicing with me, you know?


Mika: Mhmm. I get it, Ritsu-kun!

I made a promise with Naru-chan t’have a lesson together sometime, but Naru-chan had somethin’ on too. ‘S more reassurin’ havin’ a friend ♪

We got put into different classes as well…… so ‘m glad we’re able t’talk to each other at the ES buildin’ ♪

I have to do somethin’ t’say thanks fer today, so if you’ve got anythin’, I’ll do it fer ya, Ritsu-kun. I won’t be forgettin’ no debts~ ♪


Ritsu: Hoh……? You mean it?


Mika: Ngah. Did I say somethin’ weird?


Ritsu: Fu fu fu. If that’s the case, then spoil to my heart’s content right now ♪


Mika: Got it, Ritsu-kun. ‘M a hard worker, so I’ll be spoilin’ ya lots!

Good boy~, good boy~ ♪


Ritsu: Mhm. That’s more than satisfactory. Give me your praise.

But as it stands, Ma~kun’s busy, and recently, there’s been a lot of instances where he’s had to leave me all by myself. I’m having a bit of a hard time.

So if you were to lend a hand when it gets difficult, that’d be really helpful…… ♪


Mika: If it’s just somethin’ like that, consider it done! I reckon I’ll get to see all sorts of excitement if I help ya out, Ritsu-kun, so tell me if somethin’s up, aight?

Besides, Ritsu-kun’s not bound by the laws of common sense, so it seems that just bein’ together with ya will have a positive impact on my creative work ♪


Ritsu: Fufu. I’m not sure if it’ll be beneficial to your creative work, but if that’s the case, could you make me a hot cocoa from the drink bar?

I’ve just had a lesson, so I want to have a bit of a break.


Mika: Eh? Is that it? Nearly all of it’s done by the machine, so there ain’t that much fer me t’do……?


Ritsu: Yep. I know you’re happy to help, but it won’t do to ask too much of you.

Aren’t you managing ‘Valkyrie’ by yourself right now? And it seems this Oshi-san person’s basically working overseas too……

It’s the same for us ‘Knights’. Secchan goes to Florence, so I know how hard it hits you.

We’re pretty much in the same boat, so I’ll only give you simple requests…… ♪

So? Will you do it?


Mika: Mhm. Of course! One fer Ritsu-kun and one fer me, one set comin’ right up~ ♪

Ehehe. Yer a real good person, Ritsu-kun. Thanks fer bein’ considerate ♪

But if y’have anythin’ else y’want me t’do- you can rely on me more, y’know?

Since I’ll probably be askin’ t’join yer lessons again, Ritsu-kun?


Ritsu: Same here. I’m looking forward to working with you again when we have a lesson by ourselves.

Oh nice, the hot cocoa’s done already. That’s the ES building for you. All of its facilities are so reliable, aren’t they?


Mika: That’s true. I reckon it’s ‘cause it’s a place fer idols. It’s got somethin’ fer whatever ya wanna do, ‘ts almost a little scary……


Ritsu: That just means they covered all the benefits. Look, your hot cocoa’s ready too, isn’t it?


Mika: Ngah. It is. Then let’s drink it together, Ritsu-kun ♪


Ritsu: Okay~. Well then, chee~rs ♪


Mika: Fufu. Chee~rs ♪

Glug glug…… The hot cocoa ‘m drinkin’ with Ritsu-kun‘s so warm ♪

When Oshi-san comes back t’Japan and I’ve figured the ES buildin’ out some more, ‘m gonna show him around all sorts of places ♪


Ritsu: Ahaha. That’s a good goal. I’m more of the type to be shown around, you know?

Hey, Mikarin. We’ve been put into this new environment, and don’t know what’ll happen in the future, but……

It’ll be good if this sort of life where every day is pleasant and enjoyable can continue ♪


Mika: That’s right. I reckon I could pile up a whole buncha accomplishments, so I wanna work hard ♪

‘M lookin’ forward t’workin’ with ya, Ritsu-kun.


Ritsu: Fufu. Same here. Let’s work hard~...... ♪
