Chapter 1: It's Not Bad To Be Relied On
Female Student: Iruru-senpai, you're a lifesaver!
Iruru: Don't worry about it.
Iruru: However, your hand! Make sure you put a cold compress on it~?
Iruru: Otherwise the sprain can keep coming back. The girls' basketball team has a big tournament coming up right? Better safe than sorry.
Female Student: Got it! Thank you so much.
Nikako: Ah.
Nikako: Irurun, hello! Who was that girl just now......?
Iruru: Nikako,
Iruru: She's from the basketball team and got injured, so I went and assisted her.
Iruru: The school nurse was caught up in a meeting and wasn't around~. Seems there was some trouble going on.
Nikako: As expected of Irurun, always able to be relied on.
Iruru: Oh stop it, you.
Iruru: Well, assisting others is is my specialty I guess.
Nikako: Oh right, why don't we go to practice together!? We're having a meeting to decide the next play aren't we?
Iruru: Ahh, I left my bag in the classroom. Sorry, but you can go on ahead!
Nikako: Alright. I'll see you there then!
Iruru: ......Haha. Being able to help others isn't so bad, eh?
Iruru: Hmm? A message from Hatsumi......?
Iruru: Whats this......? "Dorayaki."
Iruru: "I have no inspiration, I need a sugar fix, I'll leave buying them to you."
Iruru: I've been given a chore, huh. You know I'm not an errand girl right~?
Shopkeeper: Theres your 10 dorayaki. Thanks for coming-.
Iruru: (I still went out and bought them......!)
Iruru: (Hatsumi has been wroking hard lately after all. It looks rough, can't be helped.)
Shopkeeper: Iruru-chan, it's been a hot minute since you've dropped by my store, eh. I've put in a little something extra for ya.
Iruru: Oh yay! Thanks, gramps. Yeah, I've been pretty busy recently.
Iruru: Oh right, did you see yesterday's baseball match!? Number 9's game ending home run!?
Shopkeeper: That was amazing! The whole shopping street had people gathering to watch the TV, everyone was all excited!
Iruru: Ahhh, that sounds great! I wish I could've been a part of that~. If only I wasn't stuck with the troupe......
Shopkeeper: Don't be like that! Your last play was extremely popular wasn't it?
Shopkeeper, Uh, there's that new girl with the short hair isn't there? She's quite the performer isn't she?
Iruru: Huh! You know about her......?
Shopkeeper: Course I do! Don't worry about us, focus on your acting!
Shopkeeper: Just make sure that once you become a Dai Star, you come and boast about it to us~?
Shopkeeper: Ahhh, but before you become famous, make sure you give me your autograph. we could use the publicity around the store!
Iruru: I see...... So Eden's popularity has even reached this neck of the woods too?
Iruru: ......gunning for Dai Star, that's a ton of pressure tho~.
Iruru: Ah well, I can become the star of this block I guess.
Shopkeeper: Haha, if you ever get a lead role in a performance, give us a shout. Everyone here will definitely go check it out!
Iruru: Of course! Look forward to it~.
Iruru: Thanks for the dorayaki~. Later.
