[Retail therapy, having more money than common sense... both could be contributing factors.]

You're right, people do tend to flock towards me. But I'm afraid there'd be too much overlap with the recently-formed "Tea Club" to start a club for tea ceremonies. A shame, because there's someone in the Tea Club I simply can't stand at all, so it'd be nice to form a similar club far away from his clutches.

[Eichi. He's talking about Eichi. He sees quite enough of him at practices and meetings, thanks! Whether Aira knows about their constant feuding might depend on his sleuthing skills; the two of them are never afraid to spit venom at each other in private, but they do carry on a friendly façade while working together in fine.

Never mind that unpleasant person, though. He'd much rather talk about things like pretty flowers and cute catchphrases, so as Aira starts delving into such topic, Hiyori pays close attention, glancing at the other boy from the corner of his eye. Aira appears somewhat bashful, pink blush dusting his cheeks, but there's an earnest quality to his words that catch Hiyori's attention. Or rather...

This boy is abnormal for Yumenosaki, isn't he?

He's not like most of the study body. Most students are content to cut class, goof off and act like delinquents, rather than do any idol work. There's been more interest in idol activities since fine got started, but it still feels, at times, like trying to fight a tidal wave. Yumenosaki just isn't a school for hard-working kids to achieve their dreams, and hasn't been one in years. Still, there are some holdouts: people who still harbor dreams in their heart, and refuse to relinquish them. People like Eichi, and Itsuki Shu. People like that guy in his class with the glasses whose name he always forgets.

People like Aira.

But Aira's career hasn't taken off yet. Right? There aren't many opportunities for work at Yumenosaki, so it's safe to say he's gotten nowhere. He's still in the position of "fan" rather than idol. And he makes sure to let Hiyori know just who it is he's devoted to.

So, he smiles. What else can he do but smile? It's a smile that's meant to be encouraging. A smile that says "thank you for your support." If something squirms in the pit of his stomach when faced with Aira's innocent, trusting eyes, he's careful not to let it show too much on his face.

Why, I think that's wonderful.

[The praise rolls naturally off his tongue. It's sweet talk, but not just sweet talk.]

What a lovely way of looking at things ♪ And one that suits you perfectly, I'd say. Since you were born "Ai-chan," you could say you were born to love. Just like I was born to bring sunshine into people's lives ♪ Ah, but you don't love everyone equally, hmm? I get the biggest share of Ai-chan's love~

[A cheerful boast. And then he stops walking.

He throws a look over his shoulder, meeting innocent green eyes. Still smiling, still casual, but there's something different about his gaze. Something expectant. Heated.

I have nothing but gratitude for my fans. I want to give love to them, too. That's why I'm hoping we can share some love just for today ♪ I'll cover the room fee, of course, so don't worry about that.
