Shu: Hoh, hoh hoh hoh~ Hohoh~.....♪
Mika: Nnah~ Oshi-san’s turned into an owl or somethin’.
Shu: Fufun. You are a crow, so it fits quite well, does it not!
This is certainly wonderful, Kagehira! Allow me to offer you an extremely rare instance of praise! Kakaka☆
Mika: Nnah~? Eheheh, praise me more~♪
Shu: Hey! Do not nestle up against me for no reason- it’s sweltering! There was already the recent heat wave from the depths of hell, do not make matters worse!
Mika: There’s air conditionin’ in here, though...well, more importantly, Oshi-san really ‘s most natural when he’s with Mado-nee, so…
Here, hold her♪
Shu: Wh-, why are you carrying Mademoiselle? Return her this instant!
Mika: Oshi-san, when you went t’ pay the bill at the café, y’ said 『I’m entrusting you with her for a moment』 ‘n made me carry her.
You were only takin’ out your wallet, but y’ said she was in the way, so…
Natsume: AhaHA. They are certainly close. When those two are togeTHER, there is no place to enter the conversation at ALL.
Arashi: Frustratingly so. My goodness…
Well, to see that their relationship isn’t the dangerous- or immoral- kind I thought it had been, I do feel a bit relieved.
Ufufu, looking at them, it feels like they’re siblings, or a father with his child…♪
Shu: You two! Stop dawdling around and purchase your entry tickets- this is a treasure of beauty seldom seen in this modern age!
It would be a shame to die without seeing this!
Natsume: You are talking about death agAIN...you can look around as you please without worrying about US, Shu nii-san.
It would be wonderful if looking at these beautiful things can inspire a surge of creative drive and help you escape from your sLUMP.
Shu: Hmm….I see, so that is the reason why Kagehira and the others chose to purposely summon me here?
Mika: Y-yeah. It seemed like Oshi-san’s condition hasn’ been too good lately…
So I thought, maybe, if you looked at things y’ liked, and got some stimulation from that...you could start havin’ fun makin’ outfits again.
I was with Naru-chan...ah, and Anzu-chan, too, walkin’ around town, when we happened t’ come across this banner at the department store.
We decided t’ take a peek, and saw they were doin’ this interesting-lookin’ exhibition.
I thought Oshi-san might b’ interested in it, so we decided t’ try callin’ you.
It would b’ good if it wasn’t a bother, but...are y’ mad about Naru-chan and Anzu-chan playin’ that weird prank on ya, sayin’ I was kidnapped an’ such?
Shu: If I seem angry to you, you must be blind!
Shall I take this opportunity to fix you with matching eyeballs- those of a beautiful, superb velvet~…?☆
Oh, lovely Victoria! I, too, wish I could have been born into this brilliant age of art, ruled by a queen as splendid and gorgeous as you!
Mika: Oshi-san’s a lot more excited than I thought he’d be…
But what’s ‘bikutoria’? It sounds kinda like our 『Valkyrie』♪
Shu: They do not sound similar at all, though? You are hardly an infant, but are you unable to express things in a form that is beyond whether they are similar or not?
In the first place, if there is something you do not understand, look into it yourself without asking me! I have always thought this, but you truly lack a sense of artistic inquisitiveness!
Mika: Uuu. I’m always gettin’ scolded no matter what I say.
Arashi: Fufu. If he’s getting angry at you, it just shows that he thinks of you dearly.
Natsume: Nii-san, Nii-san, you seem to be quite overcome with emotion alreaDY, after only having looked at the displays near the enTRANCE…
But I would recommend you direct your attention to the focal point of this exhiBIT- it is quite worth seeing, I beLIEVE.♪
Shu: Main exhibit? Ahh, that 『Nameless Dolls』exhibit they were holding…
Let me inform you in advance- to you, my love for dolls will just be ‘noise’.
This isn’t simply restricted to myself, either...for humans, things they dislike are haphazardly categorised to be 『unpleasant things』, thrown into the wastebasket of the mind, and swiftly forgotten about.
As for the things they like, each slightly different thing is given a name, classified, and put on display, so that each and every one possess the ability to be loved.
Arashi: I totally understand...I can remember the names and such of the cosmetics that Izumi-chan and I like, in excruciating detail, but…
With Ritsu-chan, no matter how many times he tells me, I can only recall him talking about『something red』.
When humans have no interest in something, they really are so indifferent. Aaah, it’s difficult to be loved…♪
Shu: Hohoh. You do certainly understand- I had wondered how thickheaded you could be, as one of Kagehira’s friends.
But contrary to my expectations, it seems you’re able to follow my conversation more than Kagehira, even?
Arashi: Nn~? Oh, it’s perfectly fine if you leave me be- keep talking to Mika-chan, okay♪
By our own means, Anzu-chan, Natsume-chan and I will get along just fine.
Natsume: INDEED. We shall read the atmosphere here and take our leAVE- please, take your TIME.♪
Mika: Ahh, you don’ really have to...I talk to Oshi-san lots at home, anyway.
‘sides. I’m also super interested in this 『Nameless Dolls』exhibit.
Look, the doll that’s drawn on t’ pamphlet...isn’t she a spitting image o’ Mado-nee?
Naru-chan asked me if she was one o’ Mado-nee’s sisters, but...I couldn’t really give any kinda answer.
So it got me thinking that, even though I’m Mado-nee’s family, I really don’t know anything ‘about her...so, I thought it’d be nice t’ be able to ask you lots of things, Oshi-san.
Shu: Family, hmm. Well...you are certainly fortunate that he feels that way for you, Mademoiselle.
『Ooh~! Mika-chan, to think you felt that way towards me! I’m so happy!』
『But, to be honest, neither Shu-kun, or myself, know that much about me.』
『I am Mademoiselle, a doll whose name holds no more meaning than simply a 『little girl』...before I was able to be given a name, I had already been cast aside, you see.』
『It’s possible, that I spent such a long, long time all by my lonesome, that everyone eventually forgot my name.』
『All that time, by myself...until Shu-kun found me.』
