Part 2

Alright, take five!

Good work out there Nishizono-san. I’m going to touch up your make-up a little, excuse me.

Thanks.

…〜♪ 〜♪

You’ve been humming that tune a lot lately. Is it a song that you’re currently into?

Ah, it was taught to me in Mongolia. I still haven’t forgotten the wonderful hospitality they showed me over there…

Renga-san!

What’s wrong, what happened?

There’s an article about you going around that will apparently be released in the next issue of the weekly magazine…

Huh? About me!? Wh-What kinda article is it…? Don’t tell me it’s a scandal about my family…

The title is a bit defamatory, so I didn’t want to show it to you if possible… but here.

“The hidden side of Renga Nishizono” … “An unbelievable sight at the airport has caused an uproar amongst fans!?”

The airport? Wait, what exactly…?

(We met up with the guide properly when we got to Mongolia… and I also managed to split the tororo evenly with Akuta!)

(Nothing comes to mind. But if this article inconveniences the company, or Akuta in any way, I gotta tell them about it ASAP…!)

(For now, I should read what it has to say…)

…Th-this is…!

(A picture from when I was eating soba noodles!)

“A rare moment captured through pure coincidence by one of our reporters investigating another matter.”

“Do celebrities also enjoy tororo soba? A satisfying bite that shows just how mouthwatering the food is.”

“Nishizono’s (left) beaming smile, radiant enough to wipe out an entire population.” “A smile that renders his disguise useless.” “The soba looks quite delicious.”

Wh-Who the fuck cares?!!

*gets back up* Wh-what’s up with this article!

Well, I don’t think it’s bad publicity for the persona you’ve adopted recently, so we don’t plan on pressing charges against them.

Then why did you make such a big fuss about it!

Ahaha, sorry about that. *phone rings* Oops, I have to take this.

…Hello, yes—yes, of course…

R-Renga-san, it’s…!

Hm?

“Do you recognize it?”

“This enchanting flavour, perfected through tradition. A taste that even celebrities enjoy—”

“Tororo soba.”

“Drown in the flavour of supremacy.”

Aaand, cut!

Wonderfully done. Both you and the tororo were glimmering! Truly magnificent!

(...Who would've thought that from the article I’d get an offer to appear in a soba commercial.)

(Guess you never know what life will throw at you next…)

(...But I received a lot of soba noodles for this commission. I’ll share it with everyone when I get back to the dorms.)
