Confession Of Love |  |
Misaki
I had a feeling no one was gonna be here. Guess I'm a bit too early.
Misaki
Oh well. I guess I'll just take it easy until the others get here...
Kaoru
... Hm?
Misaki
Oh, Kaoru-san. We're the first ones here.
Kaoru
My, aren't you early? So diligent, even though you simply represent Michelle.
Misaki
What can I say? I do what I can. Thank you.
Kaoru
Having said that, it would be a waste to sit here and do nothing until the others arrive...
Misaki
I don't see the problem, y'know?
Kaoru
Hrm. How about this? Let's put this time to use, and improve your acting skills.
Misaki
My acting skills? Why?
Kaoru
Because you put on a inept display, even for a beginner.
Kaoru
I'm sorry to say it, but that couldn't have been further from being a confession of love. No romance would ever bloom from that.
Misaki
...! F-Forget that happened! The ship, all of it!
Kaoru
I do not think your choice of words was so bad. The awkwardness of it all, however, is a different story...
Kaoru
Surely you will be at a loss if you have to act out a confession of love again in the future?
Misaki
Nope, I'm pretty sure that won't be happening to me ever again.
Kaoru
You never know. If our dashing thief appeared again in this studio...
Misaki
I think we both know that's not gonna happen.
Kaoru
There's no telling what kind of surprises life has in store for us, which is why there's nothing wrong with conquering your inabilities.
Kaoru
I shall say the line for you first, so take note.
Misaki
(...*sigh* She's not even listening.)
Kaoru
Why don't we begin with something simple?
Kaoru
... I love you. My heart is your captive.
Misaki
...!
Kaoru
Now, give it a try, my little kitten.
Misaki
I-I don't even know why we're doing this. Shouldn't we just set up our instruments and stuff until everyone arrives?
Kaoru
Don't be shy, little kitten. I want to see you act. Come now, profess your love to me.
Misaki
... Ugh. F-Fine, just this once.
Misaki
I'll say it once, then this whole acting practice thing is over. And no more bringing up the ship, either... Got it?
Kaoru
Fufu, very well. It is better to try it once than not at all.
Misaki
O-Okay, then...
Misaki
U-Umm... I-I love you. M-My heart is your-
Hagumi
...O-Oh my god!
Misaki
Hagumi?! How long have you been there for?!
Hagumi
Sorry! I'm interrupting, aren't I?!
Misaki
Huh?! You're not interrupting anything! D-Don't get the wrong idea, okay?!
Kaoru
Greetings, Hagumi. You're not interrupting anything. The bigger the audience the better, after all.
Misaki
T-That's not the problem here, Kaoru-san...
Hagumi
I-It's okay, Mii-kun! I won't tell anyone what I saw!
Misaki
(Oh no, she's completely gotten the wrong idea...)
Misaki
Hagumi, this isn't what you think it is, okay? I was just acting.
Kaoru
It was awkward, but still an adorable expression of love, was it not?
Misaki
K-Kaoru-san! You're not helping!
Hagumi
You don't need to panic! It might not look like it, but I never gossip!
Misaki
I'm telling you, it's not what you think...
Hagumi
Ehehe, it's so exciting to see this kinda thing! I'm sorry I interrupted! I'll wait outside, so feel free to continue!
Misaki
... Huh, Hagumi?! Where are you going?! It's okay! You can stay!
Kaoru
Hagumi has shown us some consideration. Let us not waste it, and continue with our practice.
Misaki
This isn't the time for that. I have to go fix this misunderstanding...!
Misaki
Kaoru-san, I'm going to chase after Hagumi! I can't have this getting any more out of hand than it already is...!
Kaoru
Ahh, she's gone. Such a naughty girl, leaving in the middle of practice like that.
Kaoru
I shall have to put her through some more rigorous instruction when she returns.

Misaki
Hi, BanG Dreamer. Thanks for your help with our show today.
Misaki
Kokoro and the others run amok like they usually do, but... It all worked out in the end.
Misaki
You know, I'm not really fazed when the unexpected happens anymore.
Misaki
Does this mean I'm maturing? Even if it does, I'm not exactly happy about it.
Misaki
Speaking of which, I had a really tough time recently. Do you mind if I tell you?
Misaki
I went on a cruise with the other members of the band the other day. It was this big luxury cruise ship.
Misaki
Why...? Honestly, I have no idea how to answer that. It was one of Kokoro's ideas, and who knows what goes through that head of hers.
Misaki
I had a bad feeling about it before we even got on the ship, and the three dummies certainly lived up to their title.
Misaki
They ran riot on the ship, of course... Kaoru-san pretended to be a thief, and kidnapped Kanon-san. Then she made us play games against her to win Kanon-san back...
Misaki
And for some reason none of them realized that Kaoru-san was the thief. Don't you think that's weird? I guess it can't be helped since they're the three dummies and all.
Misaki
The first game was between Hagumi and Kaoru-san the thief, and it only took Hagumi a few moments to lose...
Misaki
Well, the game only gave her two choices, so it's not really her fault that she lost. The problem is what came next.
Misaki
Kokoro played the next game, and she went headfirst into it without listening to the advice of others, so naturally she lost.
Misaki
We had to choose an item that was fleeting, so what do you think Kokoro chose?
Misaki
Some weird mask, of all things. I have no idea what part of that felt fleeting to her.
Misaki
It seems our definitions of the word are a bit different.
Misaki
I ended up having to play the next game. I had to act out a confession of love.
Misaki
I figured I'd be next up, mind you.
Misaki
But of all the challenges I could've done, why did I have to end up with that...? I've never acted before, and then she wants me to tell someone I love them?!
Misaki
I've never even done anything like that... Ah, that's besides the point. Forget what I just said.
Misaki
Kokoro, Hagumi and even Kanon-san gave me this serious look...
Misaki
In the end up I just caved and did it.
Misaki
I think that was the most embarrassing thing I have in my entire life. Acting is embarrassing as it is, so having to do a confession of love was the worst, you know?
Misaki
And after all the embarrassment I went through, they all said it was terrible...
Misaki
I didn't think my final attempt was all that bad, you know?
Misaki
Don't you think trashing someone after something like that is a horrible thing to do?
Misaki
Kanon-san being nice and supporting me was the only thing that got me through it.
Misaki
In any case, it was a cruise I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Misaki
Oh, the ship itself was quite fun though. It was like a luxury cruise ship that had its own casino and theatre.
Misaki
I feel lucky that I was able to go somewhere I'd normally never get to go.
Misaki
I have to say it was really weird that no one even questioned the fact that Kaoru-san turned up really conveniently at the end though.
Misaki
The food we had at the restaurant was great too. The whole acting thing was really embarrassing, but everything else was so good that I guess I can let it go.
Misaki
I suppose nothing fazes me now because of what happened on the cruise.
Misaki
After what I experienced, I feel like I can handle any stunt the three dummies pull.
Misaki
When I wasn't used to it, every little thing they did just drained me... I guess the time I've spent with them has made me tougher.
Misaki
Of course, I'd prefer it if nothing happened at all, but those three will always find a way to do something ridiculous.
Misaki
Kanon-san is really the saving grace of the band, you know?
Misaki
She has her moments too though, so I can't totally let my guard down.
Misaki
... Ugh, just thinking about all this is making me a little depressed.
Misaki
Everyone in the band is kinda unique, but I guess I don't hate it.
Misaki
... So having said this, I'm sure the band will continue to do the ridiculous. I hope you'll keep being there for us behind the scenes.
Misaki
The fact we are a band with someone in a bear suit already means we're ridiculous though.
Misaki
Which I guess means I'm a part of the ridiculousness... N-No, that can't be. I'm as normal as they come.
Misaki
... Sorry, I've held you up, haven't I? I guess I needed to get some things out of my system.
Misaki
I hope you'll be there to help us again at our next show. See you then.
