Izumi: (Ahh... I'm exhausted.)
(Honestly. What the hell is up with him? He's way too much of a handful.)
(Even with a broken arm, he came to school like everything's fine and started composing and stuff with one hand.)
(It's not like I could just leave him, so I dragged him all the way to the hospital and dropped him off.)
(Why is it me who has to deal with this...? Lately, it's all I ever do.)
(I even went and booked the practice room today, but I wasted all that time thanks to taking that guy to the hospital...)
(It was no small fee either. Give me a break.)
(Time and money are precious, but all we ever do is go the long way around.)
(Since we're a big group, every little thing adds up.)
(Well, he already prepares our music, and as for costumes, he can easily get cheap designs through his "connections".)
(But while our expenses are small, it's not like we get a lot of income.)
(It's because he doesn't try to kick anyone out... Collecting a bunch of useless guys and looking after them—is he stupid?)
(And besides, it's not like he gets anything out of it.)
(Those ungrateful bastards are just using him as a "convenient idiot" and benefiting off him.)
(Without even using any of the things he works hard to prepare, they just skip out on productive activities and waste any money on wild parties and the like.)
(Even then, he still keeps smiling... There's no way he knows what's going on.)
(He's just a kid. He has no clue he's being used.)
(As for me, I feel ready to snap sometimes.)
(If I complain about the others, he actually treats me like I'm the one who doesn't get it... "Get along with them!" he tells me...)
(Ahh, how irritating. Every single one of those guys who piss me off—they can all just die~)
(But even though all it does is stress me out... Why can't I leave his side?)
(In any other case, my patience would've worn thin by now, too.)
(Well, there's nowhere else to run now. I can't even return to the modeling industry, so I have no choice but to live my life here...)
(Breathing in stale air as I slowly get corrupted.)

Arashi: ......
Izumi: Hm? Hey, what're you up to over there, you shitty four-eyes?
Arashi: Uhyah!? That scared me! Don't sneak up on me silently like that, alright! You're not a cat!
And what's with "shitty four-eyes"? How meaaan~ I'm hurt, you know!
Could it be the glasses don't suit me? That can't be! I made sure they matched with Kunugi-sensei's~ aren't they cute?♪
Izumi: I told you to quit talking like that. It's gross... Plus, don't just stand there at the gate, you're kinda in the way.
Arashi: Oh my, I'm not really in the way though, am I? Look, there's all this space to go around me, see?
Izumi: I'm saying your existence itself is an eyesore. Why would you even go to the same school as me?
And while I wasn't looking, your character's gone off in a weird direction. Your grossness levels are off the charts, you know?
Arashi: Whaaat~? What's with you, could you ease off? I'm not interested in Izumi-chan~ Or rather, I have eyes for no one else! Love makes you blind...☆
Izumi: It's not "Izumi-chan", it's "Sena-senpai", alright? Since I first met you, I've been telling you to show some respect to your elders, haven't I? Are those ears just for decoration?
Arashi: Fufu. That would be nice, then I could change them out.
More importantly—according to my information, Kunugi-sensei should be finishing up and passing by here right about this time...
But he's not showing up at all. Do you know anything?
Izumi-chan, if I remember correctly, you were close to Kunugi-sensei, right?
Izumi: We weren't really that close or anything, though...
He was the top model in the generation just above us. I just asked him for advice since I figured it'd be faster to ask someone capable.
He was also weirdly considerate, like he was relatively more friendly with me or something.
He just looked out for me briefly right before he switched to being an idol.
But aren't you closer to him? I feel like you were practically glued to his side back when we were kids. Like, it was actually annoying to see it...
Arashi: Fufu. It's a love story that could bring tears to both storyteller and audience!
It was a meeting of destiny~ Say, wanna hear about it? The beginning of the romance between me and Kunugi-sensei, that is...!
Izumi: Nope, I'm not the slightest bit interested. What could be so sad about it? Why do I have to hear all about why a guy is obsessed with another guy?
It's unhealthy, and it has nothing to do with my life, you know?
In any case, Kunugi-senpa... sensei seems to be getting a lot of work pushed on him because he's a new teacher.
So wouldn't he be working until late today too?
Arashi: Oh my, so you did know something. Izumi-chan, don't tell me—are you going for Kunugi-sensei too? Nooo, he's my soulmate, you know!
Izumi: No way, he's all yours. The only reason I know is because he doesn't have many people he knows at school yet either, so he might be lonely...
...and so he comes up and talks to me like we're good friends.
Well, he's a teacher, and I do owe him for looking out for me...
All I really do is listen to his complaints, though. It feels like I always end up in this role somehow.
Arashi: Fufu. Izumi-chan, you have a sharp tongue and a bad attitude, but you're easy to talk to.
You actually listen to people... and you help think of solutions together with them and give advice and such.
At this school, most people just blurt out what they wanna say. Honestly, someone like you is a rare gem.♪
Izumi: That just means they're all just a bunch of brats. Ugh, seriously, it's sooo annoying.
Anyway, you're just wasting time waiting for Kunugi-sensei here... you have nothing to do, right? Come with me.
Arashi: Huh, why? I don't wanna! Thanks for the date invite, but unfortunately I've already promised myself to someone.♪
Izumi: All your talking back is really ticking me off... Whatever, just come with me already.
I'm about to have practice, but we can cover more stuff with two people.
You have a good eye, too. You should point out what I need to work on in my performance.
I'll let you use the practice room for free, so it'll be a pretty good deal for you, huh?
Arashi: You really like practicing, don't you, Izumi-chan... Trying so hard at this school will just make you look like an idiot, you know?
