Part 6

"Upload

a video to the Internet"

"We

are?"

"We

are"

"And

make it"

"Yeah,

to put it simply, like that."

To the

four members of Team Kitayama Kai, I gave a briefing on the day's events.

As I was

leaving to go home, I also called out to Kawasegawa and Hikawa. It just so

happened that neither of them had any plans, so we all decided to have dinner

and a meeting over a cold shabu salad... but.

"I

watch Nico Nico sometimes, are we going to make something like that Onmyoji ~?

And we dance?"

"We

won't make that, and we don't dance"

"MAD!

I know a lot about bishojo games MAD!" (Note: An anime music

video (AMV), known in wasei-eigo as MAD (music anime douga), is a fan-made

music video consisting of clips from one or more Japanese animated shows or

movies set to an audio track, often songs or promotional trailer audio.)

"We

don't make those either! It's basically original, original"

As

expected, Shinoaki and Hikawa still didn't seem to get the idea.

"Don't

tell me, we are going to record me singing and upload it... it's not that,

right"

Nanako

asked with a sense of fear.

"That

is indeed not true."

"When

it comes to Nanako's promotional videos, right"

"No,

it's not like that... Well, but it's not in the regulations, just in case"

Sensei

didn't say any restrictions on the genre, like live action was not allowed or

that it had to be a movie.

"Eeh!

N-No, I don't want! I won't come out, definitely!"

She

stopped eating the meat in front of her mouth and shook her head.

"I'm

talking about, for example! In the first place, we haven't even decided what

we're going to make yet."

Yes, we

had to talk about it first.

If we

think of this assignment as being prepared for Shinoaki, the content should

naturally be something that will be illustrated. If so, there would be no

live-action lines. Well, as long as Nanako, the only one on the team who could

possibly perform as an actor, absolutely refused to do so, there was no need to

force her to make something like that.

If that's

the case, we'll have to limit ourselves to illustrations, with songs and music

written by Nanako. Considering the time period of 2007, it was,

(It's the

Vocaloid video... I guess)

It has

been less than a year since Nico-dou started its full-scale service. And at

that time, Vocaloids were taking the Internet by storm, partly due to their

rarity.

Vocaloid

videos have also produced many illustrators who draw their image characters,

and in the mid-2000s, I would say they were the twin peaks of Touhou.

So, I'd

like to motivate Shinoaki here if possible.

"Hmm,

I don't quite get it~"

Shinoaki

chewed crispy mizuna and looked puzzled.

(I guess I

need something to inspire her as a artist...)

Not

knowing what it was, I dipped the meat into the sesame sauce with a sullen look

on my face.

"Hashiba"

Just as I

was about to move the meat from the sesame sauce to my mouth, Kawasegawa called

out to me.

"Uhm,

Kawasegawa"

"What"

"I'd

like to answer, but, um, can I prioritize the sesame sauce and the meat..... do

you mind?"

Kawasegawa

sighed in disappointment,

"Do

as you like. I'll live my life as a woman who lost to sesame sauce and

meat."

When

someone said that, I would have a hard time dealing with it, but I decided to

think that it was probably a gag from Kawasegawa's point of view.

"So

what's wrong?"

I do as

I'm told, swallowing properly before responding.

"Does

Hashiba have an idea of what we have to do?"

Kawasegawa

looked straight at me.

When she

gives me this kind of look, I get a little nervous because it reminds me of the

future.

"Ah...

yeah, in a manner of speaking"

"That's

not the way to say it. I'm sure you're thinking of something else, at

most."

Don't lie

to this kind of place in front of this girl.

"Kawasegawa,

again"

"A talk? Okay. I also had a few questions I wanted to ask."

"Yeah,

well, I'll see you in the ride home."

Something

she want to ask? I wonder what it is. Will she ask me about the project I want

to do?

"Eiko,

what are you going to ask Kyouya? Somehow, I'm curious ~"

Nanako

asks Kawasegawa with a grin. Well, she has been calling Kawasegawa by her first

name for some time now. It's good to see that they've gotten along well.

"It's

not a big deal."

"Eh,

somehow, I'm curious ~ Tell me, hey"

Kawasegawa

quietly placed her plate on the desk,

"I'm

pretty sure it's not like what Nanako's delusions all this time because you

can't bring yourself to say it."

"D-Delusions,

you said! It's like I'm thinking weird things all the time!"

Nanako's

face turns bright red as usual after just a little poke. Seeing this, Shinoaki

and Hikawa, who don't know much about the situation, are laughing.

It was

hard for me to respond, so I decided to keep quiet and let it pass for the time

being...
