HOTEL ROYAL CLASSICS/Story 5

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**ーー Understood. I will tell the sound crew to check that too during rehearsal.**

**Shingari Miroku**
**Thanks, Tsubasa.**

**Teramitsu Haruhi**
**Mn? Someone's phone is ringing~**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**Sorry, it's mine. Let's see... Ah.**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**... Sorry about that. Next is the formation, right? Because of some issues with the camera work, Yuzuki-kun's positionーー**

**Teramitsu Yuduki**
**Tsubasa-san...? Is it okay not to answer the phone?**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**It is, this has priority.**

**Masunaga Kazuna**
**But, you were called a lot... at the previous site, too, right? If it's the same person, maybe you should answer. It might be an urgent matter.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Yup, we still have time before rehearsal. We're fiiiiine!**

**Sumisora Tsubasa**
**... I am sorry. Please excuse me for a bit, then.**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Off you goooo!**

**Aizome Kento**
**......**

**Ashu Yuta**
**Mn? What's up, Kenken? You're frowning.**

**Aizome Kento**
**I was thinking that these calls have been quite frequent recently. It happened before, too.**

**Teramitsu Yuduki**
**Now that you mention it... you might be right.**

**Teramitsu Haruhi**
**Doesn't that mean she's busy with work~?**

**Aizome Kento**
**That's not it. The problem is that she's not answering the phone in front of us.**

**Aizome Kento**
**I think it's personal.**

**Fudo Akane**
**Personal?**

**Aizome Kento**
**It could only be that... a boyfriend or something.**

**B-PROJECT**
**...!!**

**Fudo Akane**
**A b- boyfriend...!**

**Sekimura Mikado**
**Never! I have never heard of it!**

**Aizome Kento**
**But I can't think of anything beside that.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Don't jump the gun, idiot! If that was the case, she'd tell us.**

**Aizome Kento**
**Why would she? She has no obligation to tell us that.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**...!**

**Shingari Miroku**
**... Why are you silent, Kaneshiro-san?**

**Osari Hikaru**
**Ah...! Hey, could it be it's about that?**

**Onzai Momotaro**
**That you say... I see, /that/.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**Hah? If you know somethin', say so!**

**Osari Hikaru**
**D- Don't be mad! I think it might have to do with that scouting thing...**

**Fudo Akane**
**Scouting, for the actress role? Didn't she turn it down already?**

**Onzai Momotaro**
**Yeah, but we heard they're quite the persistent type.**

**Sekimura Mikado**
**Speaking of which... I happened to hear something from the staff.**

**Sekimura Mikado**
**It seems that all the people who are scouted by that director, whether in the streets or in small theaters, have a track record as star actresses.**

**Kaneshiro Goshi**
**So what. There's no way that girl'd be okay with it. She's our A&R.**

**Osari Hikaru**
**Of curse I think so, too? Or rather, I want to think that's the case, but...!**

**Kitakado Tomohisa**
**Hello, everyone.**

**Korekuni Ryuji**
**Sorry for being late. Is the meeting over already?**

**Osari Hikaru**
**Prince, Ryuu-chin!**

**Shingari Miroku**
**We are still in the middle of it. We are waiting for Tsubasa right now... You didn't see her in the corridor?**

**Korekuni Ryuji**
**A guy with a loud voice took her with him... are there problems?**

**Aizome Kento**
**A loud voice... could it be?**

**Osari Hikaru**
**This is bad! Tsubasa-chan is in danger!!**
