- Later that day, early in the afternoon -
Tatsumi: (Phew... good grief, my shoulders have gone stiff.)
(The current me is akin to a frail old man. In the past, I was someone who would push forward with what I wanted to do no matter what anyone said to me, placing all my faith in God and disregarding those around me...)
(Though being like that was what allowed me to spend those days with relative peace of mind.)
(I’ve no fondness for how barbaric I was back then, to the point that I'm relieved to have exhausted myself and have become unable to move as I did then. Yet...)
(I sometimes miss the energy I used to have when I was younger.)
(Fufu... really, you’d think I was an elder trying to idle the time away until I die— ...Oh?)
......
...Mayoi-san? Are you perhaps occupying the ceiling again?
[Offscreen] Mayoi: Eep!
Tatsumi: Fufu. Does that yelp of yours translate to a “yes” or a “no”?
If it suits you, would you come down and have a chat with me?
Or, rather than that—I was planning to head to the Starmony Dormitory after this to help Hiiro-san and Aira-san move in, so...
If we have both finished what we needed to do, why don’t we head there together?
My legs could give out at any moment, so I don’t think I will be particularly helpful, but...
I have confidence in my cleaning, and I would be quite disappointed in myself if I were to leave all the work to the young ones.
[Offscreen] Mayoi: H-H-How... How did you know I was here?
Tatsumi: Fufu. It was half a guess, but I do have good hearing by nature of my occupation.
[Offscreen] Mayoi: B-Because you’re a priest, right? And that is why you are particularly sensitive to the energies of evil creatures such as myself...?
Tatsumi: No, that isn’t what I was referring to. Rather, as an idol, I have been involved with music for a long time.
I have conducted the choir at my church since I was a child, and I have often been told that I have perfect pitch.
My good hearing was a gift from God. Thus, given my affinity for picking up sound and what I can infer from previous experiences...
...The only candidate for who could be hiding in the ceiling in an elevator, excluding a mouse, would be you, Mayoi-san.
Mayoi: ...I’ve underestimated you.
Tatsumi: Ah, you finally joined me down here. Speaking face-to-face like this truly provides more opportunities to connect.
You’re beautiful, so it seems a waste to hide a face like yours, Mayoi-san.
Mayoi: Eep, please do not be absurd! I’m a revolting being like the Phantom of the Opera, inciting anger at the mere sight of my face...!
Tatsumi: Fufu. You’re quite self-deprecating, Mayoi-san... Complexes can be resolved if one uncovers the source and works to alter their thought patterns, though.
O lost lamb, if you would be willing to confess to me, I will accept all that you speak.
Mayoi: Please, I am unworthy of such words! Moreover, there is no value in the Lord up in Heaven saving a filthy maggot such as I!
Tatsumi: Fufu... This looks like it will be quite difficult to mend.
Anyway... this isn’t a particularly pleasant topic, so to move on...
You had something you needed to do as well, yes? I overheard you telling the others that you would be late in meeting up with them.
Have you already finished with that? I do not intend to pry, so if you wish to refrain from answering, that is perfectly all right ♪
Mayoi: I-I see. You’re quite strange, aren’t you... You were, um... Tatsumi-san?
Tatsumi: Fufu. For someone like you to call me “strange”... I’m a tad reluctant to accept it.
Well, I’ll interpret that “strange” in a positive way. As idols, we should assert that even our greatest flaws are charming quirks.
Mayoi: Eep, you’re so bright... What a positive person... I’m sorry for being so meek.
Tatsumi: There is no need for you to apologize. To know shame is to know oneself... Such a thing is more precious than all the money in the world.
Mayoi: Fufu... speaking to you makes me feel more at ease, Tatsumi-san. Even though someone like me should not be saved... I feel as if I am being cleansed.
Anyway, um... it took me longer than expected to clean things up around my house...
Since I’ll be staying in the Starmony Dormitory, I won’t be returning there for a while... so I hid everything that would be bad to come across deep within it and set up a variety of traps to keep intruders out.
Fufu, fufufu... I’ve scattered quite a few around, so anyone who carelessly finds themselves there will get skewe—... I mean, will think twice before approaching again.
Tatsumi: I see you’re quite the worrywart, Mayoi-san. Are you the type to fuss about whether or not you’ve shut the gas off on your stove?
I tend to be, well, a bit cavalier, and my house doesn’t have anything that would trouble me if it was stolen...
So I left everything exactly as it was and planned to come here with little but the clothes on my back.
Well, I of course had things such as a change of clothes and the essentials shipped here beforehand, but even then, it isn’t much.
I also wanted to avoid increasing the other two’s workload, given that they are moving in before I am.
Mayoi: W-Well, you will only be staying in the Starmony Dormitory for half a month, so... if you think about it, you don’t really need much with you.
But, then... why were you going to be late in meeting up with them, Tats— Ah.
Tatsumi: Fufu. It appears we’ve reached the lobby, so shall we continue our conversation there?
