Yomogi

Me, Shizuku-san's maaaaaster!?!?

Yomogi

Th-Th-Th-That's outrageous!!
If a bottom-tier human like me became someone's master,
the world would be destroyed~~~!!

Shizuku

...Did I say something that strange?

Yomogi

*Sigh* Being asked something like this... *Sigh*
It's my first time in my life...!!

Shizuku

I see.

Shizuku

Yomogi, first let's take a deep breath.
It seems you're not breathing properly.

Yomogi

A d-deep breath... yeah...!

Yomogi

*Inhale*... *Exhale*...

Shizuku

...Are you calm now?

Yomogi

Yes... somehow...

Shizuku

Sorry for surprising you.
I want to learn about "liking" from you, Yomogi.

Yomogi

...What do you mean...?

Shizuku

I don't know what I like.

Shizuku

I don't really understand the criteria
for what kind of feeling lets you say you "like" something.

Shizuku

But when I look at you, Yomogi, I can clearly tell what you like.
You talk endlessly about Onishigu's appeal, and even do immersive reenactments.

Yomogi

You analyzed it that calmly!?

Shizuku

Furthermore, you said that even things you can't normally do,
Onishigu makes you feel like you can do them.

Shizuku

Yomogi, you're in a realm
that only someone who has mastered "liking" can reach...

Shizuku

So, Yomogi.
Would you become my master and teach me about "liking"?

Yomogi

Ugh...!!

Yomogi

(Me, Shizuku-san's master!?
Teaching someone from a sky-level upper class!?)

Yomogi

(That's way too heavy a burden for meeeee!!!)

Shizuku

Please.
I can only ask you, Yomogi.

Yomogi

Uuuugh...!!!

Yomogi

I-I... if it's something I can do...

Shizuku

Thank you.
Master, I look forward to learning from you.

Yomogi

Ah, even a handshake... Haha, hahaha...

Shizuku

Now, Master. First, for reference,
I'd like you to tell me what you like about Onishigu.

Yomogi

What I like about Onishigu...!?
Whaaat~~~! Ehehehehehe!

Shizuku

Oh, your expression changed.

Yomogi

In Onishigu, every single character is the coolest!!
Needless to say, the protagonist Godo-kun is number one, but...

Yomogi

Garyo-kun, who becomes Godo-kun's buddy along the way, is great too~!
At first, they spent their days fighting all the time...
But the more they exchanged fists, the stronger their bond became!

Yomogi

"Hah... This fight ain't got no meaning unless it's with you."
He says that, and when they're in a pinch,
they fight back-to-back, trusting each other completely~~!!

Yomogi

Even the delinquents from other schools get moved by that sight...
I mean, of course they would!!

Shizuku

...So you like it because your heart is moved in the same way,
Yomogi?

Yomogi

Yes!!
Their way of life makes my soul tremble!!!

Shizuku

Your soul... trembles...

Yomogi

Haven't you ever felt that way, Shizuku-san!?
With books, movies, and stuff!

Shizuku

...No.
I've never had a work shake my emotions that much.

Yomogi

It might not be a work!
For example, um...

Yomogi

I only have Onishigu, though!
But there must be other things too!

Shizuku

Is that how it is...?
Then let's ask Raika and the others too.

Yomogi

Yes!!

Raika

Hmm... I guess it's the family... after all.

Raika

Like, it's necessary for my life...
I can't live without everyone, you know.

Yomogi

Shizuku-san... why an interview...?

Shizuku

I wanted to try it.
I saw it on TV the other day.

Chieri

Raika, what's with that vibe?

Raika

It's the mood, the mood!

Miku

...Whatever, but laundry comes first.
We have to run it twice today.

Raika

Okaaay!

Shizuku

Now, let's continue.

Raika

Toward the family, you mean?
Let me see...

Raika

This might sound fake, but... every second?
I do feel that way.

Chieri

~~! It's irritating when you drag it out like that!

Yomogi

She's totally immersed...

Shizuku

Your soul trembles every second, huh.
Like when?

Raika

Whenever I'm with the family, it's always like that.
When we say good morning or good night. When we eat together.

Raika

And now. Like this, Shizuku-san,
through this interview, about the family—

Chieri

Stoooop!!!

Raika

Whoa! Cherie, no cutting in!

Chieri

You've talked enough!
Next is Chieri's turn!

Chieri

Come on, Shizuku. Don't you have something you want to ask Chieri?
I'll answer anything~!

Chieri

Subordinates of the Chieri Union~~~!
You can give a huge cheer to Chieri,
who was at her absolute best today~~!

Shizuku

? Who are you calling out to?

Chieri

Hehe, you don't know?
It's called a hero interview.

Raika

Ah! The thing they do after baseball or basketball games!

Yomogi

So that's why she's standing on the sofa...!

Chieri

Right!
Only the person who did the best can answer it.

Chieri

Everyone's eyes in the venue, the lights, all become Chieri's alone...!
I can bask in cheers and applause as much as I want...!

Chieri

This is exactly what Chieri loves!!

Shizuku

So your answer included a performance...
Amazing, Cherie.

Chieri

Right? Right?!
You can ask more questions!

Illustration

Chieri

Of course it trembles, and it burns!

Chieri

My subordinates fill the dome,
raising a roar at Chieri's amazingness—

Raika

Huh? Did Cherie have that many subordinates?

Chieri

Grrr... It'll happen in the near future!
And then, calls of "Chieri" so loud they shake the dome—

Miku

Hey, laundry~!
I brought the basket, so hurry up and help~

Chieri

Argh, seriously! It's Chieri's interview time!

Shizuku

Miku, sorry.
Before we hang the laundry...

Miku

Huh... Hmm, what is it...

Miku

I like my guitar, all things considered...
Ah, I guess I like fragrances too.

Chieri

You have some in your room too, right, Miku!
Chieri knows all about her subordinates, you know.

Raika

That smells so gooood, though I don't know what scent it is!

Miku

I wasn't answering you guys.

Miku

Anyway, laundry.
If we don't hang it soon, it'll get wrinkled.

Shizuku

Right. Thanks for answering.

Yomogi

Huh!?
Um, is this the end...!?

Shizuku

? Ah. Next is laundry.

Raika

Ah, did Yomogi want to be interviewed too?
Want to do it later?

Yomogi

Th-That's not what I meant...!

Chieri

Once this is done,
we'll resume from Chieri's hero interview!

Raika

Cherie already finished~

Yomogi

Ah... uugh...
