The next day…
(I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.)
(We decided to split off and think up ideas for now, but there’s no way I’d know what sort of games would make kids happy. Even if I am a genius strategist, this is just way out of my field of knowledge.)
(It doesn’t even have anything to do with me… Maybe I’ll just peace out of here.)
(…But. I won’t feel right if Nikipyon ends up thinking I couldn’t think up any ideas, I think.)
(I definitely don’t wanna be thought of as someone who doesn’t have the brains for this.)
(Uu— That carefree “nahaha~” laugh won’t get out of my mind…! It’s echoing and running around inside my head…!)
(…I don’t have any choice. I’ll look for something that kids might enjoy, as best as I can.)
(Let’s see here… The fastest way to get an answer to something I don’t know is to ask someone who does…)
(Maybe I should ask someone who has siblings, or who’s good at taking care of others. I should be able to ask them about how they made their little sister or brother happy back when they were young.)
(Siblings, huh…)
(The closest to me would be Anija, but…)
(Yeah, no. I’m leaving him out.)
(He’s just gonna talk about me, so it wouldn’t be reliable info. And I bet if I talk to him, he’ll just start bugging me constantly.)
(It has to be someone actually level-headed, or I won’t be able to take reference from it. I need to look for a different Onii-chan.)
(The other people who’re siblings would be… the ‘Rinrin and Hiiro-kun’ siblings, and ‘Hinata-kun and Yuuta-kun’ siblings, huh.)
(—I don’t think any of them would give me a proper answer, though.)
(Man, are there even any normally good Onii-chans around me? You’ve gotta be kidding me… Are you seriously telling me there’s not a single level-headed big brother?)
(This puts me in a fix. My plan to ask about what would make kids happy has already reached a deadend.)
Yaaay! Thank you so much!
Mm? What’s going on…?
Location: Seisoukan Dorm Common Room
Master Artist Fushimi, thank you so much! Uwaah, it’s a new drawing from Master Artist…☆
The indescribable expressions in Master Artist’s drawings are just the best… This new little guy’s got such a superb face just like the last… Fufu~♪
Is that so? Well, if my art makes you that happy, then it makes it worthwhile to have drawn it.
isn’t this just wonderful, midori~ there, there. (pats head)
Fufu. I’ll let slide anyone patting my head, only for this moment…♪
Oh, there’s a kid enjoying himself right here…
Kid? Did I get treated like a kid just now…?
Woah, Sakuma-senpai… You appeared out of nowhere.
Oissu~ Sorry, sorry. You were enjoying yourself so earnestly, Mido-kun, I couldn’t help myself from saying that.
So? What made you get so happy in such an innocent way?
Innocent way…? What sort of happy face was I making for it to be described as that?
Well, it’s true I was excited, though. After all, I got Master Artist Fushimi to draw me a new illustration~♪
Ohh, yuruchara art, huh?
I wasn’t intentionally drawing a yuruchara, though…
That’s what makes it so good~♪ It’s because you didn’t draw with that in mind that it’s the true essence of a yuruchara…♪
good grief… midori, you would get attached to anyone as long as there is yuruchara, wouldn’t you?
how awful of you, when i [exist] right here.
Huh, Shinkai-senpai? What’s with that face? What’re those eyes supposed to mean?
these are eyes of [jealousy] towards yuzuru~♪
Woah~ Must be rough on you, Mido-kun. This is one heck of a love triangle. C’mon, c’mon~♪ Aren’t you gonna explain yourself?
Uh, no, I don’t see why I have to explain myself to Shinkai-senpai…
uu… midori is so cold…
even after i went through the trouble of making a new [yuruchara] mascot, too…
Uwaah, so cute!
You’re way too simple~…
do you want it? you do, don’t you? if you act [honest] with me, i will give it to you~
Kuh—… I can’t resist when there’s a mascot dangling right before my eyes…!
ufufu~♪ if you want it, then you will have to try taking it from me.
Well, those two from Ryuseitai aside…
I bet yuruchara are popular with the kids, huh? I should keep that in mind.
Sakuma-sama, you keep mentioning children. Is there some sort of problem you’re facing with children?
Mhm. I got caught up in a troublesome matter, y’see…
Hm. If it’s alright with you, please let me hear you out as well.
Warning: Don't Mix? 5
—And so, I now have to help out Nikipyon to come up with ideas.
I see. That does sound like a troublesome matter.
you are [helping] niki? you are so kind, rei’s [little brother]… there, there…♪ (pats head)
Hey, could you not pat my head?
eh~… never mind, you are not kind after all…!
Oh, Shinkai-sama. Did Takamine-sama take the yuruchara mascot from you?
yes. it is only times like these that midori actually takes things [seriously].
I don’t take things seriously only when it’s yuruchara, y’know. It’s just that it’s relatively easier for me to be motivated.
Fufu. Easily being lured by items, aren’t you? Bocchama and Takamine-sama truly are the same.
Oh yeah, you’re always taking care of Tori-kun, right, Yuzuyuzu? You gotta know what makes kids happy, right?
Oh my, Sakuma-sama. I much prefer that you don’t treat Bocchama as a little child.
Ehh… Even though you’d been calling him an unmanageable shitty brat for a long while now.
…Coughs. He’s now dutifully and properly performing his duties. ♪
Hmm… Then how did you cheer up Tori-kun in the past?
Giving him sweets whenever he was feeling down would often cheer him up.
Even when he feels sad after making a mistake at work, giving Bocchama his favorite sweets is enough to put him back in a good mood instantly.
fufu. i can [imagine] that happening.
So sweets are the trick after all. But I was told we’re not allowed to sell sweets at the venue.
I see. …How about reading a book aloud, then?
Whenever I read a book for Bocchama before he sleeps, he looks very happy. I’ve received compliments from him before, such as, “It feels comfy listening to stories from you, Yuzuru.”
Ohh… Tori-kun gets stories read to him before he sleeps, huh?
Fufu. He really is still a kid…♪
rei’s [little brother]. please ask me about what would make [children] happy, too~♪
Asking Kanashi~?
i am also an ‘onii-chan’, you see~ i also look after [children].
Um… I feel like it’s waaay too much to group us with actual little kids.
ufufu~ it is because to me, everyone is an adorable [child]~♪
Then I guess I’ll ask you, too. What sorta ideas do you have in mind, Kanashi~?
yes, so. in ryuseitai, we take turns being the [commander], so each of us takes on [stages] that we [personally] want to do.
whenever either of the [children] get to [experience first-hand] their own exciting interests, they always look like they are having fun.
when it is midori, it would be a [yuruchara stage]; when it is shinobu, it would be special training for [ninjas]; when it is tetora, it would be when he is moving his [body]. those are the times when they are [sparkling] the most.
I see. That’s likely similar to when I read books aloud to Bocchama.
Enjoying an interesting fairy tale is also like experiencing something you like.
Huh. So giving them something to experience first-hand, not just items, is another way to go about it, huh.
yes~♪ even if there are no [sweets], there are still many [ways] to entertain [children].
First-hand experiences instead of items, huh… Hmm~…
Ah, I got it. I think they’d all be able to enjoy that then…!
Oh? It sounds like you’ve thought up something.
Mhm. There’s something I’d like to look up, so I’m going to the library.
I got nice opinions from a place I didn’t expect, huh…♪ Thanks.
Not at all. I’m more than glad to know I was able to be of use.
if anything else comes up, please feel free to [consult] me. it is an [adult’s] duty to take care of [children], after all.
