❝I want this melody to reach you, @ogamibanri.bsky.social.❞

❝I'm glad you're happy, Ogami-san. I think that sounds wonderful. If you'll have me, then I'd love to stay.❞

Picking up the present from the table, she held it out towards him with a smile.

❝I hope you like it.❞

The gift was a simple but elegant kumihimo hair cord, neatly wrapped with a ribbon.
Maybe he will say it, given the right moment. Although he wouldn't say it just to prevent her from feeling sad.

"It makes me happy, though. I'll start opening the gift, then we can eat the cake together. What do you say?"
She would be happy to know he feels that way. Banri is incredibly kind. Knowing him, however, he would likely say that to prevent Tsumugi from feeling bad.

❝Of course I had to! You celebrated my own birthday, but that's not the only reason. You are an important person, Ogami-san. You deserve >

Interrupt his relaxation time? Tsumugi would never do that. He's more than happy to spend time with Tsumugi.

"You can take as much time as you want."

Banri closed the door and followed her, curiously looking at the items.

"Thank you! Although you didn't have to do so much for me."
She didn't mean to interrupt his relaxation time! Tsumugi should have considered his prior plans. Hopefully, he won't mind the visit.

❝I apologise for showing up unannounced. I won't take up too much of your time, I promise.❞

With a grateful nod of her head, Tsumugi walked inside. Carefully >

Banri had thought of staying home during his day off to clean a bit and perhaps listen to some music.

By the time he heard the knocking on the door, he was relaxing on the couch. But immediately went to open the door.

"Tsumugi-san? What a surprise. Please, come inside!"
Since they both had the day off from work, Tsumugi decided to visit @ogamibanri.bsky.social's place to celebrate his birthday. Carefully balancing the cake and gift in her arms, she gently knocked on the door.

❝Ogami-san, it's Tsumugi.❞

Is she overstepping? Ah, perhaps she should have asked >

❝I don't feel bad.❞

Tsumugi nodded her head, completely unaware that Gaku was never sad to begin with.

Since his schedule was more demanding than her own, Tsumugi didn't want to bother him. He should be free to choose how he spends his spare time!

Blink, blink. Did Gaku just boop her nose? The >
"I'm not sad anymore, as long as you don't feel bad."

He was never sad to begin with, though.

"Thanks, that's reassuring. I'll be sure to come to you if I ever need it."

It's nice that she can be herself. They can hang out like this more times >
❝Huh? That isn't what I want at all. I'll try not to feel bad, I promise. You're not sad anymore, right...?

You're very welcome! If you ever need words of encouragement, I'm more than happy to help. I understand that it's probably difficult to talk to the others sometimes.❞

Since they're away >
August 27, 2026 at 11:09 PM
It's nothing to do with him! She has absolutely zero doubt that Gaku is a good listener. Tsumugi simply didn't believe she was interesting enough to talk about.

❝You're a very considerate person, Gaku-san. Even on your days off, you still like to help out.❞
"Don't mention it. I'm happy to help."

Is it that surprising...? Gaku is actually a good listener.

"I usually watch films, or help at home."
❝Yes! Very convincing, in fact. Thank you very much for the encouragement. I appreciate it.❞

Though he never meant to surprise her, Gaku's words did exactly that. It never even occurred to Tsumugi that he would enjoy talking about her.

❝I'm certain that you're just as interesting! Hmm... >

"Please, don't feel bad. It'd make me sad. But thanks. Hopefully things can change.

I appreciate the encouragement."

Tsumugi doesn't have to know—

How adorable. He has never seen her make such expression before, and she's utterly adorable.

"Yes?"
❝You're very kind. Even so, I can't help but feel bad for my words... Hopefully, things will change soon! I especially hope that for you.

I do. Please believe in me. You'll definitely find a cute partner.❞

Especially coming from her? She had no idea her words carried such weight.

Completely >

"Yeah? I'm glad to be convincing enough for you to believe my words."

It wasn't his intention to catch her off guard, though.

"I don't have so much about myself to share. Unless there's something you want to know?"
Given the chance, Tsumugi will make sure to let him know.

❝Hehe~ I don't know why, but coming from you, it makes me truly believe your words will come true. Maybe it's because you're very convincing.❞

Badump. No wonder he's an idol... He knows the exact words to catch someone off-guard. >

"You said nothing wrong, don't worry about it. I hope things can change one day. So we can stay with whoever we want.

You think so? Thanks, Tsumugi! I hope to be lucky in the future."

Her words are reassuring. Especially >
❝I apologise. I should have been more thoughtful before speaking. Being told that you're unable to be with the person you love must be unpleasant...

Your dedication and kindness is exactly why I think you'll be lucky in love! Not only that, but you're handsome too.❞

Tsumugi hoped her words >

Gaku would be glad to know, because he doesn't want to be anything similar to that man.

"If you continue like this, I'm sure you'll be an amazing manager like her."

A shake of his head.

"Not true. I enjoy talking about you."
Gaku is his own person. From her point of view, he's nothing like his father!

❝I'm not surprised. Anesagi-san is amazing, after all! I'd like to become as good a manager as her.❞

Her eyes widened as she came to a sudden realisation, prompting her to place her hand over her mouth.

"I don't get why the industry is like this. We're human like everyone else. What's so wrong with being with who you love? Did he, now? I can't deny it, but I doubt I'll be so lucky.

I love my fans and intend to continue making them happy." >
❝It'd be nice if idols were allowed to date without having to worry about any scandals. Yamato-san told me that you really want a cute girlfriend.

From our interactions, you don't seem like the type to love your fans any less!❞

Their walk finally ended as they arrived at the cinema. >

Well, he's also the son of Yaotome's president. And one thing he knows is that he won't be like his father.

"Please, do."

Yes, he can tell.

"I guess it can be surprising. We also talk about our manager some time."
As the daughter of Takanashi Productions' president, she was constantly reminded to maintain professional boundaries with the talent. It's difficult for Tsumugi to just ignore that.

❝Thank you very much. I'll be sure to remember your words!❞

Though unable to see, Gaku could probably tell by >

Does it really matter so much what others may think and their opinions? He'd rather stay true to himself and his feelings.

"Efforts pay off in the end. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

Gaku chuckled softly.

"They were just excited about things."
It's truly unfortunate that dating in the idol industry is such a taboo. Otherwise, she might have been more accepting about forming a relationship with the talent.

❝I try my best! It's nice to know those efforts have been noticed.❞

Hearing the extra praise, a warm flush crept up her neck. >

"Although idols should also be allowed to love, I think. It doesn't mean they won't devote themselves to fans even if they're dating someone."

It must have been her imagination, truly.

"No, no. But I mean, I'm still from another agency. A call won't >
❝I could never! I apologise if it sounded that way. I definitely don't have a bad impression of you, Gaku-san.

I think a lot of hearts would break if you had a lover.❞

Ah, that seemed like the most logical answer. It must have been her imagination. There's no way he would be disappointed about >

....
Then he'd rather not confess. Besides, he doesn't want to trouble her or make her uncomfortable for his own feelings.

"I believe so."

Gaku says in a confident voice. It's a shame he can't see her blush since he's driving. >
That's definitely for the best. If he confessed, their current dynamic would have to change. They wouldn't be able to spend time together like this.

❝I'll do my best. You can take things easy, Gaku-san!❞

It would seem that they both misunderstood...

❝Eh? Do you think so? Thank you very much.❞

Me? Maybe. Although it's not like I've put it into practice, given I have no lover."

.....
It must be her imagination. There's just no way, right? For Gaku to feel disappointed about that. >
❝You could never give off a bad impression. It's the truth. Everyone has nothing but wonderful things to say about you! Especially the rest of IDOLiSH7.

You must be quite knowledgeable when it comes to romance, then.❞

Upon hearing his next words, Tsumugi tilted her head to one side. Maybe it's >

Luckily, Gaku hasn't confessed right now. And given how past interactions with Tsumugi went, he'd hardly do it. It'd be like calling to a rejection.

"Oh? Then you can drive the next time."

And Gaku thinks she means in the next outing they could have... >
It makes perfect sense. Gaku is right, after all. Everyone deserves the freedom to openly love someone, even idols.

Future Tsumugi might feel differently, but right now, dating is out of the question. She just can't imagine it. She's deeply absorbed in her work with IDOLiSH7.

❝Oh, I'd be happy >

"I'm relieved I don't give a bad impression. And you flatter me. I'm glad you think so of myself.

Sometimes I choose films in regards to that, but I also enjoy some nice romance."

Of course he had to reassure her. Gaku couldn't let her feel guilty for this.

"And even so, we don't get to >
❝Ah, please don't worry! You don't give off a bad impression, Gaku-san. You're kind-hearted, reliable and incredibly professional. A true gentleman!

I expected you to pick movies based on the cast members or directors rather than the genre.❞

The least he can do...? He didn't have to reassure >

"It doesn't match the impression I give? And what impression do I give? Now you made me curious.

Right? It's a very nice feeling."

It's the least he can do, after all.

"That's right. We ought to enjoy our walk together. It's not usual we can get to do this." >
❝It doesn't quite match the impression you give. However, you can't judge a book by its cover! It's sweet that you enjoy their relationship.

I agree! My heart always feels quite warm when they finally confess their feelings.❞

"Is it so surprising? I think it's quite heartwarming to see how the relationship develops, and the happiness that comes after. Doesn't it feel warm in your heart?"

If the opportunity arises, he'd like to hear that. >

A genuine smile lit up her face as she asked the question. She truly wanted to know.

"I can't deny it. I'm a romantic."

That's better for him. It'd probably make things awkward if she was aware of it.

Not at all, he was only curious. No hard feelings. But he understands her not wanting to share it with him. >
❝You're quite the romantic at heart. Aren't you, Gaku-san? It sounds interesting!❞

He's obvious to everyone but her.

Ah, that's certainly true. But what if he wasn't her oshi? That would definitely hurt his feelings. And what if he was? Tsumugi would be embarrassed to admit it.

"Yeah, I'm a fan! It's a romance between a vampire and a young lady."

It's fortunate for him that Tsumugi hasn't noticed, even if he may be so obvious sometimes.

But now they're not in a work environment, right? So she's free to talk about whatever she wants. >
❝May I ask you about the film? You seem quite excited about it. Are you a fan of the franchise?❞

Luckily for Gaku, his crush went completely unnoticed. He's been very mindful so far.

That's right. Now that she knows the group, she couldn't possibly share information about her old oshi. It would >

"Thanks. In that case, I will also do that."

However, he still has to be mindful with what he says. Especially with the crush he has in Tsumugi.

Gaku would be surprised to know she was a TRIGGER fan. So her oshi is secret, uh? >
❝Of course I remember. I want you to do the same, Gaku-san. To be yourself and speak freely. We're not part of the same agency, after all.❞

IDOLiSH7 is her favourite group, of course! But before becoming their manager, she was a TRIGGER fan. She did have an oshi, however that's a secret.

A fan? Gaku didn't think Tsumugi would be a TRIGGER fan. Does she have any oshi within the group? He's just curious, that's all.

That's right. It's already good enough that she >
❝I'm absolutely sure. An apology really isn't necessary.

What did you say the other day? 'I'd rather you just be yourself and speak as you feel.' Well, that's how I feel as well.❞
