Chapter 4 - The Hard Worker
(Back at Hallways)
I was running down trying to find certain someone classroom "Hey Leo-senpai Where are you going that's not the way for theater club," Kasumi said "You also say to persuade the old members to be in the club? Don't tell me you're trying to run away again..." Kasumi said sweatdrop "What no! I just got a perfect idea!" I yelled "An idea?" Kasumi asked confused "If we are going to convince them then it would be best to get some results first...They are not going to join if it's the same..." I said sighed "I-I'm sure they would join either way! and what are these results??" Kasumi asked confused "We can't persuade them with just passion alone if the club is exactly the same...they will only think the same results will happen," I said bored expression "I know that but what you had in mind?" Kasumi asked confused expression "To show them that this is a place that their hard work will pay off in," I said smiled "That's a good point but what should we exactly do to show that?" Kasumi asked, "We are going to recruit a new member!" I yelled both saw the classroom I rushed inside...
"New club member that sounds great!" Kasumi yelled "There is this one second-year friend of mine one of the most hardworking ones out there! She always tries her best and stops at nothing no matter what the challenging situation in which I admire from her a lot" I said sweatdrop "A hard worker? I guess that's exactly the kind of person we need at a time like this! I'm with you let's get 'em!" Kasumi yelled...
(I just hope she didn't leave to head on the home yet...) I thought confused expression "Yes! she's still here leave the talking to me Kasumi!" I yelled "Hey Leo-senpai, why do you get to do the talking???" Kasumi asked confused expression "Because she's my close childhood friend," I said "Childhood friend?!" Kasumi yelled shocked "Fine but I'm coming with!" Kasumi yelled, "I was going to ask you anyway..." I said sweatdrop both went inside to see our recruit...
"Hey, Ayu!" I yelled breathing heavily "Leon how did the search go?" Ayumu asked smiled "It went really well I did text Yu about the progress wait where is she anyway??" I asked confused "Yuu went to do something in the library hm?" Ayumu said smiled "Ah I see well anyway the research was complete but uh we have problems..." I said sweatdrop "What kind of problems?" Ayumu asked confused "The club been inactive and only has one member left...The Student Council are going to close the club down by the end of the mouth if we can't assemble enough members" I explained "We??" Ayumu asked confused "Yes Ayu! I would like to introduce you to the last remaining member of Nijigasaki High School Idol Club...Kasumi Nakasu!!!" I yelled "...Umm Leo, there's no one there" Ayumu nervously giggled "Eh?" I asked confused turned to my side someone was missing...
"Oh for crying loud...Kasumi!!!" I yelled, "Fine I'm coming..." Kasumi said hesitated "Anyway! To make the story short, the president is letting us reactivate the club if we can find ten members or more" I said smiled "Wait, ten members?! Oh, hold on...since it did start with five...I see" Ayumu said thinking of the scenario "Yeah...aha," I said nervously chuckled "It's nice of you Leo to help this first year find members for the club! after all its apart of your personality," Ayumu said smiled "Uhh come on Ayu," I said sweatdrop "Which is why I'm asking you to be the first one to join," I said "W-What!? M-Me, join the idol club?!" Ayumu yelled shocked expression "Please Ayumu, you're the only one I can count on!" I yelled "Hey! Kasumi yelled "B-But I couldn't sing and dance like that! That isn't me..." Ayumu said panic...
"Hey Leo-senpai," Kasumi asked, "Yes Kasumi?" I asked confused "Is this really the hardworking you're talking about?" Kasumi asked "Yeah, her name is Ayumu Uehara and we been best friends since Kindergarten espically with one more of our friends name Yuu though she seems busy at the moment in library" I explained "CHILDHOOD FRIENDS?! You told me she's just a friend but childhood!?" Kasumi asked shocked expression "...Is it really that surprising??" I asked confused "Well yeah you two know each other for so long!" Kasumi yelled "Yeah...Ayumu always one of the types to give her very best no matter how tough it gets! I also get my own inspiration from her so if she's with us I figure she would be the missing key we need to help inspire others and to the successful club!" I yelled "...jiiiii~" Kasumi said "Kasumi???" I asked confused "I-I'm a pretty hard worker too!" Kasumi yelled "...Oh of course! I know you are Kasumi but...you'll need more help than just me to fix all of this" I said sweatdrop...
"Well...If you say so Leo-senpai" Kasumi said sweatdrop "So how about it Ayumu Uehara will you join me in this journey of school idols??" I asked Ayumu slowly smiled looking right at me... (???) I thought confused (Ohoho) Leonidas thought sly grin...
"You really are something else Leo you know that...You've got crazy initiative" Ayumu said smiled "Huh really???" I asked confused as Ayumu nodded...
"Well you were determined to help Yuu and I find the idol club but even though you still a novice at them...did it anyway to help this underclassman to find members...also on top of that she trusted you and met only yesterday crazy" Ayumu explained "...Your probably right about me being a novice at this" I said nervously chuckled "You're talking about me right? Because you're totally right! We are super tight friends even though he's like the only guy here" Kasumi said (...That hurts Kasumi!) I thought in pain "Haha...I see I see," Ayumu said sweatdrop "...Uhhh" I said sweatdrop "Don't you deny it!" Kasumi yelled as I flinched "Fine I won't happy?" I asked bored expression...
"Hey...you remember what happened back in Kindergarten?" Ayumu asked "Hmm? that was such long ago in Kindergarten," I said confused expression "All right mister that look and reaction tells me what I need to know you don't remember," Ayumu said, "It was such a big deal to me too!" Ayumu yelled "It must be for you to remember it...Is it the time when those bullies show up and well beat me to the ground?" I asked confused expression "No...but I'm glad you remember the time we met" Ayumu said smiled "So what exactly is this memory??" I asked confused "You told me something, back when I was really embarrassed to do a dance performance and I didn't want to do it," Ayumu said blushed "...The dance performance...ah I remember!" I yelled shocked expression "*stare*," Kasumi said, "You say that if I did my best on stage, then the whole audience would simile right back at me...You squeezed both of my hands saying you'll cheer me on as I did my best...and you give the biggest smile I have ever seen too..." Ayumu said smiled eyes closed as I nervously chuckled...
"Ahaha...how could I forget...I remember you performing, thinking about how amazing you were Ayu at dancing" I said smiled "I've been through a lot to come so far in life. All because of you and your determination...so I want us both to do our best with this school idol thing!" Ayumu yelled "W-what!?!" I yelled shocked "Wait, seriously!?" Kasumi yelled shocked "Ayu, Thank you, and yes let's do our best and make many people smile!" I yelled smiled "Yeah we have such great memories Leon including with Yuu!.. Uh, what's your name again?" Ayumu asked looking at Kasumi "Well Uehara-senpai, I'm Kasumi Nakasu! But since your my senior you may call me Kasumi!" Kasumi yelled "Senior...? But technically, you've been a member in the club longer than I have so...?" Ayumu asked confused sweatdrop "Hey don't worry about that! Let's just be friends with one or another!, We all are gonna be club buds from now on, y'know" Kasumi said as I faceplanted while Ayumu nervously chuckled...
"Friendly...like with nicknames? If your name is Kasumi Nakasu then how about, Kasukasu?" Ayumu suggested "NOOOOO!! How did you know my old nickname?! Leo-senpai you told her did you!" Kasumi yelled "WHA?! I haven't talked to her since littery yesterday!!" I yelled, "Alright I'm banning the name no more Kasukasu!" Kasumi yelled, "Let's agree to disagree and settle on Kasumi with no honorifics?" I asked sighed "Okay I agree to that" Kasumi said smiled "S-Sorry, nice to meet you Kasumi...I don't know much about being a school idol, so I'm pretty lost...But I will do my best! So please teach me what I need to know, alright?" Ayumu asked "Don't worry Ayu-senpai! I am the senior idol of this group after all!" Kasumi yelled, "Alright team, let's go get the other members back!" I yelled "RIGHT!!" All yelled, "Let me join you guys!" Yuu yelled "Yu???"
