Event Story – HAPPY NEW YEAR SHOW! ch.9

[kozvme]

 

Will: (... Why did this happen to me?
No, it's not like I mind Adler helping or making decorations together, but with just the two of us...)

Gast: And 5...

Will: Eh? You've already made that many?

Gast: Y- Yeah...

Will: Let me see.



... Here, the way you fastened it is a little weak. If you don't fasten it carefully, the part on the back will look bad.

Gast: Ahー my bad. Akira said he needed a lot, so I thought it was fine like this since we don't have much time.
When you display them, you can only see the front so even if you spend less time to do the back... See, if you arrange the front like this, it will look beautiful in the end, right?

Will: ......

(The front doesn't look much different if I compare his finished decorations with mine. So what Adler is saying in this situation is practical, but...
I'm kind of annoyed about his words...)

Gast: Sorry, even though you taught me, I went and did it on my own.
Still, you should take it easy too, Will.

Will: ... What do you mean?

Gast: Ah, no. Simply in the sense that you don't have to make 'em so precisely...

Will: Are you telling me I should also cut corners?

Gast: J- Just that it'll be fine even if you don't push yourself too hard...

Will: I'm not that skillful, I don't know how to cut corners. Working hard is the only thing that I'm good at, so...

Gast: ... You're right. You have your way of doing things. I'm sorry I said something weird.

Will: ......

Gast: If we go at this pace, it looks like we'll be done preparing by the day of the show, anyway.

Will: Yeah. He's been insisting that he'll surpass Brad-san, but I think that it's the driving force behind the creations that resemble Akira.

Gast: Surpass Brad?

Will: Brad-san appeared on "New Year Heroes" in the past... That reminds me, you said you didn't know the show, right?
I suppose not all New Million residents would watch it, but... you've never seen it even thought you aimed to become a "hero"?

Gast: Ahahah, I don't watch much TV, but if it's my favorite drama I do...
Oh, right, I told Ren Akira would do something like that... I didn't go into details, but is that bad?

Will: Well, it's Ren we're talking about, so it's fine?
How is Ren doing? I watched yesterday's LOM a bit, but...

Gast: Ah~~~ well, same as always. Even when I told him Akira was goin' on the show, he showed no reaction.

Will: Is that so...  In the past he hapily watched it...
