PHASE 78 - DID I PERFORM JUST TO CLUMSILY MESS UP!?

When I joined the Dradecim Idol Club Enterprises (We added “Enterprise” to our idol group name so that the acronym would turn to DICE and not DIC only.) my high school life became very much happier. The workshops are full of joy and fun when my friends are there.

About our lineup, Miss Erylle would be the team captain as she will lead most of the songs. She also has a good voice and impressive dance moves, and her body is certainly for fanservice. Men would instantly fall in love with her charming wink.

Miss Helena is our rapper. All trendy songs have dubstep and raps nowadays, so it is always handy to have her. I have heard from Heushac and Rikkun that Helena always had a talent in speaking so fast whenever she sermons her younger brother. An idol group always needs a tomboyish girl, so she’s always welcome. I’m glad that Miss Awane found out her talent.

Jecchan is the cutest person in our group. Her dance moves are the best among the club, and she is the best tutor I can have in regard to choreography. She’s the leader of the Aether Crusade after all, and she has a huge fanbase thanks to her cosplaying activities. For those people who have a fetish on loli-looking idols, she is the perfect girl!

About me, I’m the klutz of the group. My singing is the best among the club, and I always have some trouble in dancing since I’m a weird nervous idiot. Miss Awane saw the adorable clumsiness in me, which is a plus factor in the fanbase. Miss Awane also sees me as the perfect idol to rise on top because of my packages (I don’t know what that means) so she spent most of the advertisements promoting me.

The Dradecim Idol Club Enterprises (DICE) will have their debut in Dradecim National High School. We are also going out to live during our performance, so sit back and enjoy our show on television! Tune in to Channel 3, and we are going to make you smile~

When the lights of the amphitheater flashed among us four idols, we knew that it was our time to shine. When the giant speakers burst out music, we joined the beat and revealed the fruits of our hardship together.

Our arms and legs are synchronized as we sing cheerful songs. Every step we made gave sparkling joy to people who are watching us. The flawless swaying of our bodies timed the music and every syllable in the lyrics. We had our chance to show off our individual strengths.

Erylle’s leadership on stage lead us to the brightest cheers! Jeanne’s awesome dance steps made people amazed! Helena’s rapping skills are so lit that it made the stage on fire!

My adorable sing and dance number made people fall in love!

Everybody is cheering us. My classmates, including the class rep Divina, are here. The Aether Crusade is also present. My twin brother Diadem cheered for me at the bottom of his heart. The Nerd Squad, including Heushac, had the chance to see how amazing we were.

And Rikkun… I just made Rikkun the proudest lover out of all the universes! I bet he’s going to be more arrogant and brag me all the time to his friends!

The Dradecim Idol Club Enterprises’ first concert ended up with a bang!

Everything went well in the DICE’s debut show, and there are already a lot of agencies trying to get us contracts. We were already at the backstage when media personnel flooded us. Good thing our manager, Miss Awane took care of it.

When we were finally in the dressing room and changing our apparel, I remembered something troubling. While being semi-nude, I curled and cried.

“Auuuu…” I held my aching head. “I… I forgot the thirty-seventh step on the fifth song.”

“Hahaha! You mean the part where we go beep beep boom?” Erylle swayed her hips as she executed the steps we rehearsed that I failed to do. She’s topless, so I won’t describe the jiggling part when she did the steps. After that, Erylle patted my head like I’m a puppy. “Don’t worry, Tiara. You being a klutz is part of DICE’s charisma~”

“Yeah, that’s right, Tiara!” Helena pumped her fists. She’s definitely nude on the upper part of her body, and she’s not ashamed of it. “You were adorable when slightly panicking on stage! Fans like it!”

“S-So they liked it because I messed up? Auuuu…” I cried again.

“Don’t worry about it.” Jecchan patted my shoulder. “All that matters is that we enjoy the performance.”

“J-Jecchan…” My eyes twinkled. I can’t believe Jecchan can inspire me with a single sentence while talking semi-nude.

“Did you enjoy the performance?” Jecchan asked.

“Y-Yes! Of course!” I pumped my fists. “This is a dream come true for me, to perform in the stage with so many people and to have my performance go live on television! This is the best day of my life!”

Erylle, Helena, and Jeanne made a smile on their faces. They are all happy that I’m now back on my jolly old self who is full of hope and determination to never give up.

When we went to the backstage, fans came in rushing, asking us for selfies and autographs. Some asked autographs on our album they just bought, and some asked autographs to be written on their boobs or butt. I find it lovely to see some die-hard fans at our very first concert, so we became generous enough to entertain them all.

Suddenly, the most handsome person in the world went in front of me, with a blushing cheek and nervously twinkling green eyes. She knelt down and gave a bouquet of flowers to me, which made me blush like tomatoes.

The DICE members, Nerd Squad, the fanbase, the media, and even our teacher Macho Steel made a giggling sound as they saw my boyfriend acting so sweet.

"AYIEEEEEEEE!!!"

“Y-You’re the most beautiful girl tonight, Tiara…” Rikkun muttered.

“T-T-Thank you, R-Rikkun…” I accepted the flowers.

After genuflecting, Rikkun stood up and slowly hugged me tight. I felt his sturdy muscles that are gently caressing my body, which made my heartbeats go like a machine gun, like ratatatatata! I also hugged him like this is the end of the world.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Everybody cried. They screamed like they just got diabetes from this overly-sweet moment.

“Hey, let’s have a picture-taking for the lovers first!” Macho Steel said as he pointed us his camera. “Come on, say cheese! Now hand-heart! Finger-heart!”

We complied with Macho Steel’s photography commands. After the shots, he immediately handed out sweet pictures of Rikkun and I together. We look like a perfect couple~

“Hey, not fair!” John protested out loud. “Let us join with the picture too! Let’s have a group picture!”

“Sasuga, John-sama!” Daughty backed John’s violent suggestion. “We need to have a picture with kawaii waifu hime-sama DICE members too!”

“Fine, fine.” Macho Steel sighed out loud as he changed the memory card on his camera. “Now go and compress together! Say DICE! One, two, three! Now, wacky! Now find your pairs and pose!”

Everybody was happy about the result of the group photoshoot. DICE members are happy, but the Nerd Squad is much happier. John, Chrisprel, Ranley, and Daughty immediately put a copy of their photos in a sanitary plastic bag to prevent germs and viruses from entering it.

Meanwhile, Heushac is just there, wondering what’s so special in the pictures. He is somewhat unlucky to be paired with his sister Helena. He has been in so many pictures with his sister, so this is nothing special. A picture with Erylle is the same thing since he’s been working together every day as a Blazing Heart Legion member.

Everybody was busy with their own dialogues when Rikkun grabbed my hand. He pushed his face forward which made it clear that he’s still blushing.

“Uh, Tiara…” Rikkun scratched his scalp. “A-About…”

“Yes, Rikkun. I already know.” I made a gentle smile at my boyfriend. “You’re going to have a LAN party night, right?”

“Y-Yeah…” Rikkun smiled with embarrassment. “I may end up going home in the morning. We’re going to Macho Steel and play lots of games with the boys. Tomorrow is Sunday and there’s no class anyway, so I think-”

“It’s okay, Rikkun!” I pumped my fists. “Don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself, and go nuts!”

“T-Tiara…” Rikkun’s tears started falling. Suddenly, he hugged me tight that made my breast on the verge of bursting! “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Tiara! You’re the best waifu ever!”

“Ah… Ahahaha…” I laughed with embarrassment. “Anything for you, Rikkun…”

To be honest, I don’t feel like controlling my boyfriend’s actions. He only has a few days left to spend with his high school friends as our graduation is coming to a close. Just a little more time and their Nerd Squad would get disbanded. I want my Rikkun to have fond memories of his friends.

Besides, he never had much time to spend with them during the last timeline. They were killed too early in the story, so it should be fine for him to spend the night with his dear best friends.

“We’ll be going now!” Rikkun finally released me from his hug. “Goodbye, Tiara! I love you!”

“G-Goodbye, Rikkun!” I waved my hand. “I love you too!”

As I watch my boyfriend run towards the exit, a gentle warmth filled my heart.

...

This is like an absolute calm before a storm, where everything is going well and fine. Never did I thought that this will be my final happiest moment with everyone.
