Nikako 4* Side Story

The Regent Who Deciphers Mystery - Part 1

(Nikako’s Proposal)

Nikako: One, Two! Three, Four!
And Five, Six! Seven, Eight!

Shigure: Nikako-senpai seems more fired up than usual, isn’t she…
Even though we’re just done from Oedipus Rex’s final performance day…

Daikoku: She went back from jogging only to stretch right after…
Are you sure that you’re not forcing yourself…?

Nikako: I want to focus on the foundations today!

We’re going to move forward on the same stage with Ren-san after all,
That’s why from now I have to start building my posture!

Shigure: Shigure gets your point and all, but that doesn’t mean you have to work so hard everyday!
Just so you know, taking care of yourself is also a part of actor’s etiquette~

Nikako: Oh… I-Is that so…?

Iruru: She took it straight from my mouth. Don’t be so hard on yourself, okay?
Even the Hatsumi told us to not exhaust ourselves even more.

Shigure: And that person doesn’t even make appearance in the practice hall today~

Iruru: I mean it’s not like she can just come.
She’s busy handling the management stuff. That alone already sounds exhausting eh~

That being said, you better take some rest Nikako.
A cooldown is also as important.

Nikako: Got it…

Daikoku: Oh Nikacchi, don’t be so sad now…
The fact that you’ve put so much thought just for My Lord. That’s very noble of you…!

Nikako: Hehehe… I appreciate it, Daa-chan.

You know, since we’ve been told more about Futaba-chan…
It just feels wrong to not do anything after that.

Iruru: Yeah, can’t say I’m not either.
We also saw her crying. Coming from Hatsumi, that was quite unexpected, wasn’t it…

Daikoku: … Right…

Shigure: Oh please Daikoku-senpai, would you please not do impromptu crying as well?
It’s such a nuisance, y’know~

Daikoku: What did you say…?!

Iruru: Hahaha… And here Shigure’s still being as usual.

Shigure: Well, duh! It’s not like she talked then asked to sympathize.
So why even bother to change~?

Iruru: Hmm, I guess so~
She’s probably actually the type who likes to reminisce about the past together.

She even didn’t seem uncomfortable when Nikako asked to share pictures of Futaba-chan.

Shigure: We also ended to share ours with her, definitely didn’t see that coming.

Nikako: Hehehe. I appreciate it!

It was fun to look back through lots of memories with everyone back then!

Daikoku: Was it really that fun…?
Even though mine were just filled with family trip photos…

Nikako: It just means we’re all getting closer!
It’s not common for someone to share their memories.

I mean I talked so much about the times when I was in Aogashima,
And just by that I already felt much closer with everyone!

Daikoku: Thinking about it again…
Talking about memories… It does feel like revealing our more private side…

That thought alone makes me feel quite embarrassed now……

Shigure: Your photos seemed like the usual family stereotypes though, Daikoku-senpai?
Ain’t you be too conscious about yourself right now~?

Daikoku: Urgh- Oh, shut up…!
You’re not even far different! It was all filled with your basic childhood self…!

Shigure: Why do you mean by basic!!
There’s not many pictures with such a small cutie like Shigure in the world!

Daikoku: Huh…? And you said that I’m too conscious about myself…?

DaikokuShigure: Grrr…!

Iruru: C’mon now~ Do you girls have to make a fuss about this~

Nikako: Hahaha! Can’t deny that this is a part of Eden’s routine.

Iruru: I do wish everyone can get along each other though~

Nikako: … I see!
We probably should capture this kind of routine as well!

Iruru: .. What do you mean?

Nikako: What if we make an album for our theatre? We’ll take pictures and videos for each stage,
Then they’ll pile up so we can look back on it together someday!

Iruru: Oh… Sounds like a good idea~
Yeah, we don’t have such a thing in Eden, do we.

(By such a thing, maybe more like, better to cherish them while we can…)

Shigure: Huh~? Do we really need that~?
It’s not like we’re here as a group of friends…

Nikako: T-That’s true, but…

Daikoku: Being in Eden, our goal is to pursue acting while being led by My Lord…
I afraid we don’t have the time to focus on different things like that…

Nikako: R-Right…

Shigure: Perhaps the only time where we have the same opinion.

Daikoku: Well, it’s only natural for me to consider My Lord’s way of thinking…

Iruru: No-no-no, you don’t have to think that far.
Don’t you think it will be nice to take some photos?

Nikako: It’s fine, Irurun.
Maybe I was being too excited.

Even though I’m still not that good at acting…
It’s not the time to think about other stuff like this, isn’t it…

Iruru: Nikako…

Shigure: Read the room here, Daikoku-senpai!
You don’t have to state the obvious. Nikako-senpai is now all sad because of it!

Daikoku: H-Huh?! But you’re the one who started it…

Nikako: I’m sorry, Daa-chan, Shigure-chan.
Just forget what I said before, it’s okay.

Shigure: I… It’s just for the record! We can also keep them as a record!
Yeah! They definitely will be useful as evaluation materials!

Daikoku: T-That’s right!
And as for me… Perhaps, I also want to save more records of the days with My Lord…

Nikako: Eh…? You two mean it?

DaikokuShigure: Of course!

Iruru: … Hehehe!

Shigure: W-What’s with you, Iruru-senpai!

Daikoku: It’s not the time to laugh…!

Iruru: My bad, my bad.
I just thought that both of you were so cute.

So, Nikako. Since Daikoku and Shigure also agreed,
Let’s make an Eden album, shall we?

Nikako: But…

Iruru: You’ve put so much thought for us after all.
The atmosphere in Eden has become better because of it. That’s what I think about it at least.

Daikoku: That’s true… Iruru-san said it for me…
The current Eden feels so comfortable to live in…

Shigure: Well, even Shigure won’t deny that truth.
This is all being initiated by Nikako-senpai, and it’s not a bad thing to have.

Nikako: You girls…

Iruru: Rather than friends, perhaps it’s best to see each of us as comrades.
We’re aiming for the same thing, and so we’ll make our way there together.

And that’s why you don’t need to be so modest.
If you want to do it, then just go for it, Nikako.

Nikako: … Okay!
If you say so…!

I want to make an album of our usual days with everyone!

Iruru: That’s the spirit! Nikako is truly the best when being lively~

Daikoku: Do let us know if you need any help, okay.

Nikako: Sure thing!

Shigure: … It’s good that you girls are so fired up.
Just know that we still need approval from the main people.

*door opens*

Hatsumi: Good work, everyone.
I better not see any of you forcing yourself in the practice today.

NikakoDaikokuIruru: Ah.

Hatsumi: … What’s wrong?
Is there something on my face?
