Will's Starry Night 4* Hero Story

[gyaxa]

"Searching for a Shooting Star"
Characters: Will, Akira, Ren, Gast

Akira: Hah~ That's a wrap~ I feel like the exhaustion hits ya all at once whenever we finish up an LOM.

Will: I'm pretty exhausted too. Probably ‘cause I can finally relax…

Hey, why don't we head up to the roof and do some stargazing to unwind?

Akira: Huh, again? We just did that with the mentors.

Will: True, but we didn't get to see them from the rooftop… Since there'll be nothing in the way, it's sure to be a great view.

Akira: Ah… I guess you're right.

But I need some grub pronto!

Fufun, I bought some hot dogs to eat after the LOM~ They're my top priority!

Will: Then I'll go on ahead.

Akira: Alright. See ya later.
 

───

Will: Hehe, I knew you'd get a great view of the sky from here. Imagine all the stars I'll get to see ♪

???: Ooh, look at ‘em go. Haha, ya could make all the wishes ya want like this.

???: Can you shut up and watch quietly?

Will: ? That's…
 

Ah, Ren!

Ren: Will?

Will: And… Adler…

Gast: Ahaha, I don't suppose ya could be a little less obvious than that, could ya…

Will: … You two came to watch the fireworks?

Gast: Yep.

Ren: No.

Will: Huh… So yes or no?

Ren: … I only came to get some fresh air.

And this guy won't leave me alone…

Will: Adler…

Gast: Hey, don't get the wrong idea! We watched the LOM, see?

Will: Huh…?

Gast: So after it ended, I wanted to do some stargazin’ myself, and Ren was headin’ up here, so I tagged along.

Will: You watched the LOM, Ren?

Ren: … It was on, is all.

Will: Hehe, I'm glad ♪ I wanted you to watch it.

What did you think? It was a bit hectic setting it up, but I think it turned out well.

Ren: … The part where you fought Akira was good. Especially when he lost.

Good job, Will.

Will: Haha, thanks. Hearing that makes me glad I gave it my all.

Gast: Not sure that's the way I'd word it…

Ren: But that was the best part.

Gast: Well, I gotta agree with ya there.

Oh right, I read your guys’ feature interview. It was a good read.

Bein’ a hero with your childhood friend is one thing, but fulfillin’ your childhood dream of becoming a hero is somethin’ else.

Will: … Not really. I mean, we're all heroes here, so it doesn't make a difference.

Gast: It does, though.

I became a hero to act up against my old man, so I didn't really dream of becomin’ one or anything.

Will: ……

Ren: I feel the same way…

Fulfilling your childhood dream is really impressive, Will.

Will: Ren…

But it's not like I fulfilled it all by myself.

I had my family, Akira, and you all supporting me… It's thanks to everyone that I managed to make my dream come true.

That's why I'm grateful to you, Ren.

Ren: … I didn't do anything, though.

Gast: Childhood friends sure are a great thing to have, huh…

Will: What are you gonna wish for, Ren?

Ren: ……

Will: There's gotta be something, right? Y'know, like getting up to AA rank, or getting closer to the type of hero you wanna be…

Ren: … I can't think of anything.

Will: That so…

Gast: Ah, just for reference, what are you wishin’ for Will? I mean, ya already fulfilled one ‘a your dreams…

Will: ……

Gast: Uh, ya don’t gotta force yourself to answer.

Will: … Well, I've got a couple, but I guess I'll go with becoming my ideal hero.

That's my next goal… my current dream.

Gast: … I see, sounds like a model answer to me.

Will: So what about you, Adler… I'll hear you out just this once.

Gast: Haha, thanks for that.

Let's see… Uh, nothin’ much, I guess…

Will: ……
 

Akira: Yo! Sorry to keep ya waitin’, Will.

Gast: Akira?

Ren: ……

Akira: Huh, Gast? Ren? Ya guys come to watch the meteor shower, too?

Will: There's ketchup and mustard all over your mouth, Akira…

Akira: Woah, really?!

Ren: … I'm heading back.

Will: Wait, Ren! Surely a little longer wouldn't hurt? I mean, how often do you get to see a meteor shower…

Ren: ……

Gast: We were just talkin’ about our wishes for the stars and stuff. What's your wish, Akira?

Akira: Oh, I've got tons. For starters, just becomin’ a major hero, but I also wanna make a name for myself, y'know? Like, “the youngest major hero ever”, or “the strongest hero ever”!

Gast: Haha, wouldn't expect any less from ya.

Ren: Only an idiot would wish for something like that.

Akira: S-Shut it! Just wait ‘til it comes true! Then you won't be able to make funna me!

Will: Hehe…
