Alright then, Shinobu-kun. Let’s start preparing for today’s noon broadcast!
Yuuki-dono!
Woah!? What’s wrong, Shinobu-kun? What’s the determined look for…?
Allow me to handle all of the preparations for this broadcast! In the meantime, I’d like you to wait while you read the script.
Huh? Are you sure? But you’re the one who wrote the script, so I was thinking of doing the preparations at least…
Don’t worry about it! So come on, leave everything to me…☆
Alright, I’m counting on you.
Right, first I’ll start by turning on the PC.
…Alright! It’s on! Now I only need to make sure the audio from the PC plays clearly…
Then I need to adjust the microphone’s position…
Heh-heh! ♪ The setup for our broadcast is complete!
Wonderful work~! You really are amazing, Shinobu-kun. You basically don’t even need my help anymore.
It’s nothing worthy of praise, really. I have done this many times by now.
Plus, this is the final noon broadcast that you will be holding, Yuuki-dono.
I wanted to show you that I can prepare everything for the broadcast perfectly all on my own…♪
Heheh, you’ve grown to be so reliable, Shinobu-kun. With how perfect your setup was, I know I can leave everything to you now~♪
I’m graduating soon, after all. And the theme of this broadcast is about graduation too, right?
Indeed it is! And for this broadcast, I have interviewed many graduating students about their memories in Yumenosaki Academy!
For the songs we’ll be playing, I made sure to make them related to celebrating someone’s departure, or a graduation-related song.
You really did prepare everything, Shinobu-kun — There was nothing I needed to do. The only thing I did in the end was a final check-up of the script.
I feel so moved somehow… You’ve really grown wonderfully, haven’t you?
Heheh, this is your final grand moment as a Broadcast Committee member, Yuuki-dono. I worked very hard for this day! ♪
You could’ve relied on me a little, at least. Aren’t you also busy with the Student Council elections?1
P-Please don’t mention the elections!
I had never intended to run for election, and the reason it turned out that way is due to me being unable to refuse others… So I ended up being swept away with the flow…
But you still did your job for the elections, so I really can’t help but think you’re amazing.
Seeing you work so hard reminds me of the first time you had to do the noon broadcast on your own.2
Ahaha, that takes me back. I was still a novice back then.
If I recall correctly, I only realized that I forgot the script at home once it was time to begin, and that was when Yuuki-dono and Isara-dono helped me.
Ahh, I still feel so embarrassed by such an extreme mistake…
Had I done that for my election speech, I would’ve been severely reprimanded. Just the thought of it makes me shiver…
But in a way, you could say that it’s because you went through that experience that you haven’t made that same mistake since.
That may be true. I made sure that the script was with me this time, just like I have been doing for all broadcasts since then.
Then that really does prove you’ve grown so wonderfully, Shinobu-kun.
Mhm, mhm! Just knowing you’re here in the Broadcast Committee gives me relief! I know I can leave it all to you from here on out without any worries.
………
Huh? What’s wrong, Shinobu-kun? D-Did I say something upsetting?
N-No, you haven’t… You haven’t, but… You’ve been complimenting me over and over again for the past few minutes, Yuuki-dono.
And now you’re saying “I can leave it all to you from here on out”… Where is this coming from!? Is this our final farewell or something…!?
No, no! That’s going too far! Don’t assassinate me just because you’re a ninja~…
Uuu… Please don’t suddenly make it sound like we’re parting ways… It makes me feel so lonely, I could cry~…
I think Shinobu-kun’s the one who brought up the parting ways thing… But you’re right, I kind of got too sentimental. Sorry about that.
Come on, hold back those tears, Shinobu-kun. If you cry now, it’ll be heard through the broadcast.
If everyone hears you crying, they’ll worry about you, too.
I am aware. This is Yuuki-dono’s final noon broadcast; I don’t want it to end with me shedding tears.
I would much rather we all look back on our fun memories in school, so that we’re all smiling by the end of the broadcast.
That’s how I plan to flawlessly fulfill today’s broadcast!
Mhm, that’s the spirit. That’s a wonderful smile on your face, Shinobu-kun~♪
Right, it’s almost time. Let’s begin the broadcast, shall we?
Roger that! We shall start with the greeting and title call first. Right then, I’ll turn on the microphone…♪
“Hello everyone in Yumenosaki Academy~♪ Today’s noon broadcast is held by Sengoku Shinobu and…”
“Yuuki Makoto~ There’s only a little bit left before graduation for the third years. What have you all been up to during your last bit of lunch break?”
“As an appetizer to further enjoy your lunch break with color and delight — We present to you the Yumenosaki Academy☆Youth RADIO! Let’s begin~☆”
