Ch. 36 Ep. 4: Behind Our Secret
In an unexpected turn of events, the first-years get hooked on Uzuki and Satsuki's yoga lessons. In fact, Kasumi even gets up to some yoga at home while she's on the phone with Shizuku.
Kasumi
*Inhale* *Exhale*
Kasumi
Ahhh, I feel nice and warm all over. Yoga sure does feel great.
Shizuku
You could say that again. I never expected to get so into it.
Kasumi
I've become more flexible and toned than ever since starting yoga. It's awesome!
Shizuku
*Giggle* Aren't you going to comment on how you're getting even cuter than ever before?
Kasumi
WELL, if you insist! I'm getting cuter and cuter than ever before!
Shizuku
*Laugh* You really have gotten cuter, though, Kasumi.
Kasumi
But of COURSE! I'm the cutest cutie-pie around, and I became a school idol because I wanted to become even cuter!
Kasumi
I mean, the dazzling school idol Kasumi Nakasu's greatest strength is her cuteness!
Kasumi
That, and…
Kasumi
I've actually got one other super-duper secret weapon up my sleeve.
Shizuku
Hm? And what might that be? I've never heard you mention it before.
Kasumi
Do you wanna know?
Shizuku
I do!
Kasumi
Ehehe! Oh, geez, whatever shall I do?
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Thanks for being so patient! I've finished up your song.
Kasumi
You have?!
Player
Yep! Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
Kasumi
Don't be! I was so super excited the whole time I was waiting that the time just flew by!
Player
*Laugh* Thanks. Do you mind giving it a listen right now?
Kasumi
Hit me with it!
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Wow…
Kasumi
Oh my gosh, WOW! I love this song!
Kasumi
How is it that you know me SO well?! Did you read my mind?!
Player
*Chuckle* I didn't, but you do tell me about anything and everything. That's how.
Player
It seems like I managed to articulate your feelings, so I'm really glad. What a relief.
Kasumi
You didn't JUST articulate them! I'm way, WAY touched!
Kasumi
How you've laid out my emotions as they are is awesome, but I'm also stoked that it's a song that all my fans can join in on. This will get everyone totally excited!
Kasumi
And I'm SUUUPER thrilled to have the people who've fallen for me say that they L-O-V-E me!
Kasumi
Could I listen to it again?
Player
I'm so glad you like it.
Kasumi
I really do! It's gonna be my favorite song forever and ever!
Kasumi
Oh, before I forget! What's the name of this song, Prez?
Player
Hmm. How do you think “Diamond” sounds?
Kasumi
I love it! It's the perfect song title for me since I'm so cute that I shine like a jewel!
Kasumi
I'll have to get an amazing costume for this song too. I need to be dressed up in a way fit for the title when I show myself to everyone…!
Player
There's actually another meaning behind the title of the song.
Kasumi
Hm? One that's not about me sparkling?
Player
Mmhmm. The passion you put into being a school idol is so powerfully firm and unwavering, just like a diamond. I think that's one of your many charms.
Player
My memory of you protecting the clubroom all on your own is extremely precious to me.
Kasumi
Aaagh! Please forget about that whole fiasco! I basically attacked you back then…
Player
*Chuckle* There's no way I could ever forget that. It was then that I found the resolve and desire to face the world of school idols with as much passion as you.
Kasumi
Prez…
Kasumi
*Giggle* Ehehe! If that's what you say, then I'm fine with that! “Diamond” is perfect for the cute and strong Kasumin!
Kasumi
But don't let the other girls know about the title's double meaning of me being strong! Keep it a secret between the two of us!
Player
Sure. It's our little secret.
[Fade in/out. On the phone.]
Kasumi
*Giggle* Nah, I'm not saying a peep!
Shizuku
Whaaat?!
Kasumi
It's an important secret to me, Kasumin the school idol! I can't blab about it to my rivals!
Kasumi
…But maybe I'll let the cat out of the bag at the next sleepover for us first-year girls. Or maybe not! *Chuckle*
Shizuku
Kasumi, I can tell you're grinning from the tone of your voice. Maybe it's best that you don't tell me.
Kasumi
Awww, what?! C'mon! Listen to me!
Shizuku
Mmhmm. Okay. I'll hear all about it at the next sleepover. Good night!
Kasumi
Niiight!
[Putting phone away.]
Kasumi
It sure has been a while since I went down the memory lane that way.
Kasumi
The Prez totally understood me from the moment we met for the first time.
Kasumi
Having the Prez tell me that I've got my own charms allows me to keep getting cuter and stronger.
Kasumi
Yep! I'm totally adorable today too!
