gyaxa | Chiaki's FS1 Idol Story Ch.2

(After the hero show)

Hiiro: That was extremely entertaining! So that's what a hero is!

They never lose heart no matter what troubles they face, and grow stronger and stronger for the sake of others… I can see how they differ from martial artists.

Chiaki: Fuhaha! I'm glad Hero-kun's discovered the charm of heroes!

But that back there was only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of profound parts to heroes, so the more you'll learn the more you'll grow to like them.

Maybe I should hold a Tokusatsu appreciation party one day! And I can show you all of my Tokusatsu DVDs…☆

Hiiro: Alright! I'll be looking forward to it.

So what do we do now that the hero show has ended?

Chiaki: Since we've come all this way to an amusement park, let's check out the attractions!

Is there anything you're interested in? How about the merry-go-round?

Hiiro: I do want to try that, but I'm curious about the screaming we've been hearing for a while. I wonder what that spiral-shaped thing is…

Chiaki: That's a roller coaster. It's a machine where you get to enjoy screaming your head off in fear while racing along a rail at high speeds.

Hiiro: In fear? Why on earth would anyone purposely put themselves through that?

I want to find that out for myself. Anzu-san, Chiaki-senpai, let's go ride that "roller coaster" thing!

(After some time)

Chiaki: (To think he'd make us ride the teacups right after going on the roller coaster…)

(Both Anzu and Hero-kun seem to be just fine, so I'm just going to have to fake it until I make it. Hang in there, my semicircular canals…!)

Hiiro: Fufu, both of the rides were so much fun! Aira was right in calling this place the "land of dreams."

Chiaki-senpai, I want to try out that over there next.

Chiaki: Ah, okay. I'm fine with that—

(Huh, a haunted house…?!)

Hiiro: So ghosts live here too, I see. I can't wait to see what kinds of ghosts are here ♪︎

Chiaki: ……

Hiiro: What's wrong, Chiaki-senpai?

Chiaki: Ah, it's nothing… Haha, sorry. I'm just a little bit tired.

I'll stay here and rest on this bench, so can the two of you go to the haunted house by yourselves?

Hiiro: If you're taking a break, then I shall accompany you. I want us to experience the attractions all together, after all.

Chiaki: Those feelings are enough for me. We can try out all the other attractions together, okay?

Please go together with Anzu.

Hiiro: Hmm… I understand. Let's go, Anzu-san.

Chiaki: … They're gone. Phew…

(Even if I really am in poor condition, it was still pathetic to run away like that…)

(...Huh?)

Anzu… Why'd you come back… Where's Hero-kun?

You had him go to the haunted house by himself? …So you didn't want to leave me behind in this condition and came back, huh.

Oh, you bought some water too. Thanks.

…Haha, how pathetic of me. Sorry that you have to take care of me even during a time like this.

I wanted you to forget about work for a while and relax, and yet because of me…

…"This has nothing to do with work"? "I came back because I was worried about you"...

"If there's a person in trouble, then someone has to help them. Even if it's everyone's trusty hero," huh…

You're right. If I was in your position, I'd probably do the same thing.

…You really are a hero, Anzu. You're always helping those in need.

You're someone who I can't go without.

(Later)

Hiiro: …Hah, I suppose we need to start heading back now. You can't remain in dreams forever.

How lonesome it is to have to leave my new ghost friends from the haunted house behind…

Chiaki: Your new ghost friends…?! I'm not sure if I want to know about that or not…

Today may have ended already, but you'll still be able to see countless dreams from now on. You should come back with your friends sometime!

Hiiro: Yes, I'll do just that! … Ah, they're selling souvenirs.

Darn, I completely forgot that I promised Aira that I'd buy him some goods. I'll go in and buy some now!

Chiaki: Alright. The two of us will wait here, so go on ahead.

… Hey, Anzu. I know I told you to forget about work matters, but could you listen to me for a little bit?

When we were watching the hero show, I suddenly remembered about my "personalized outfit".

Hero suits are an undeniable part of heroes, but they're simply outfits, not the actual hero.

What's important is your conviction; that's what gives birth to a hero.

And when your body harbors that conviction, that is when you become an actual hero.

While my "personalized outfit" is being made for my sake, it is also being made for the purpose of delighting my fans.

For the sake of those who support me, I want to design an outfit that shows off my appeal as both a hero and an idol. What's why—

Anzu. I was wondering if you could help me come up with some new design ideas.

With my knowledge of heroes and your experience with watching over idols, we should be able to create the most wonderful outfit.

…Thank you. I knew you'd say yes.
