ES Lesson Room - One day in Summer

Hiyori: ♪~♪~♪~♪

Nagisa: ♪~♪~♪~♪

Ibara:

Your singing voice is simply wonderful, Your Highness! I'd expect no less from you! Truly, how it charms me so!

And how absolutely splendid Your Excellency's dance is! Your movements, flawless down to the fraction of second, are undoubtedly a form of living art!

Jun, you didn't do too bad, either!

Jun:

Is it just me or was I the only one who got a half-assed comment? Oh well, whatever~.

Anyway, are we done with all the practice you wanted us to do, Ibara?

Ibara:

Yes. With this, we can perform with confidence in our upcoming music show.

All the same, I had no concerns to begin with. As this is a song we're used to singing, we should have no trouble performing it even without practice.

But because all of us in Eden have been so busy with our individual work lately, we haven’t gotten much time to practice together.

Thus, I gathered everyone here so that we may also stay in sync.

Dear me, it seems that I have rambled on for far too long. My apologies for making everyone come here for my own needs today! Let's wrap things up!

Hiyori:

Yes, yes. Now then, I’d like you all to listen to my request this time!

Ibara:

Oh...? Your Highness, whatever do you wish for?

Hiyori:

It's not just for you to hear out, but for Jun-kun and Nagisa-kun as well!

See, since we went along with Ibara's wish, we must now all go along with mine!

Ibara:

(You say that like we don't already go along with your selfish whims every single day, Your Highness.)

Certainly! I’d even accompany you to the ends of earth if you so desire! Your wish is always my command, Your Highness! Salute~♪

Staff cafeteria of ES

Ibara:

The staff cafeteria...?

Hiyori:

Why, of course! You see, they’re currently serving the Early Bird's Taste of Autumn buffet, and I really wanted to try it!

Jun:

Sounds good~. We just worked up a sweat so I’m starvin’. And since it’s a buffet and we don’t even gotta hold back, it’s just what I need right now.

Nagisa:

...Hmm, a taste of autumn? I look forward to seeing what kind of dishes they’ll serve.

Ibara:

Understood! I’ll take care of the payment, so do go on and help yourselves, everyone. I shall also secure a table for us...♪

…

(...At buffets, you can choose whatever you want to eat, so it won’t matter much whether I’m present or not.)

(Nonetheless, it would give a bad impression if I am the only one absent, and as they say, one cannot fight on an empty stomach. I should still join them, even if only for appearances.)

(I’ll grab just enough for my plate, take my seat and do my work.)

(... Hm, this table seems good. It's close to the window, so there should be no need to worry about being watched.)

(Alright, let's get my tablet out… What's this? There seems to be an appearance request for CosPro?)

(It wasn’t sent to any particular unit of ours, nor is it anything difficult, either. I suppose I'll assign it to whichever unit has an empty schedule.)

Jun:

Yooo, sorry to keep ya waiting.

Nagisa:

... Ibara, are you doing work?

Ibara:

Oh no, I'm simply killing some time while waiting for you all. Well then, let's eat!

Hiyori:

Everything certainly looks delicious, I must say. We should start our meal right away~ ♪

Jun:

Ohii-san, you put your main dish and dessert on the same plate, huh.

Hiyori :

The true pleasure of buffets is the excitement of getting to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, all in whatever order your heart so desires!

Meanwhile, everything on your plate is brown, Jun-kun.

Jun:

Oh, looks like you’re right. There were loads of meat dishes, so I grabbed as much as I could.

Nagi-senpai's plate sure is the polar opposite of mine. The arrangement looks gorgeous, and the colours are so nice that it looks like one of those fancy food replicas~

And Ibara's... just got some chicken breast and broccoli? Are you on diet or something?

Ibara:

Yes, I'm currently maintaining my physique.

(...Or well, that's the excuse I'll go with. One tends to lower their guard during a meal, so it's best to get them over with as efficiently as possible.)

Hiyori:

Since we’re here and all, it’d be such a waste if you don't try even one of these autumn delights! Especially this matsutake and shrimp ajillo — here, I'll share some with you!

Ibara:

Your Highness!?

Nagisa:

... Ibara. I'll also give you some of my chestnut rice.

Ibara:

Not you too, Your Excellency!? Truly, I appreciate the thought, but I’m not sure how I feel about more calories than I accounted for...

Nagisa:

... But during that on-location shoot we had you said the dango was delicious, and even ate some with us... did you not?

Ibara:

T-That was... simply for the camera. After all, our viewers enjoy that kind of content.

Nagisa:

... So that's how it is. I thought that the dango we had was really delicious, so I bought some as a souvenir for myself.

... But for some reason, it didn’t taste as good as when we ate it all together.

... Perhaps food is something that tastes even better when enjoying it with someone else.

... So eat up, Ibara. These autumn dishes are truly delightful, you see.

Hiyori:

Yes, yes! Don't forget you promised to go along with my request, so you should eat too, Ibara!

Ibara:

(Ahh, how vexing... This is a buffet of all things, and yet here I am, being forced to have food I didn’t put on my plate...)

(Having fun during a meal is something so nauseatingly ludicrous... Or I suppose, that’s how I should feel about it.)

... Aha-ha-ha-ha! ☆ I suppose I can’t refuse you two if you’re going to be so insistent! I’ll dig in with pleasure!

Jun:

Hahaha. Ibara, you sure have a soft spot for whatever our seniors ask of you, don'tcha?

Ibara:

Be quiet, Jun!
