Ivy Melty Chapter 21

DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story. Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

In the end, my contract with Aegis came to an end without anything being done since then.

(I worked so hard and longed for it so much. The time to quit went by so fast ...)

(How did this happen?)

--flashback--

Ivy: From now on, we will be together forever. I will protect you. You don’t have to worry about anything.

Ivy: I will protect you from everything that tries to take you away from me …

--flashback end--

(It's true that I was subjected to unreasonable treatment at the company, and I was also talked behind my back. And on top of that, there was that incident with Yamauchi-san ...)

(Is Ivy-san right, was Aegis not right for me? Was this really the right choice?)

... I don't know. I can't think straight. My head has been in turmoil ever since that night.

And then.

Ivy: Rina-chan, I'm coming in.*

When Ivy-san came into the room, he smiled happily.

Ivy: Your contract with Aegis has finally ended. I'm so glad you're free.

He sat down next to me and hugged me gently.

Ivy: I am very proud of you. That's great.

Ivy: I'll protect you from now on. You don't have to worry about anything anymore.

("Protect." That word again ...)

He says he will protect me, but put his arms around me so tightly as if restraining me.

I can't help but feel a certain discomfort in his words and demeanor ...

(But ... Ivy-san is really worried about me.)

Because I knew this, I couldn't refuse his gentle hand that had supported me all this time.

Rina: ...

Ivy: What's wrong? I'm right here with you, so there's nothing to be worried about.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: Ah, that's right. I have to tell you what's going to happen next.

In a cheerful voice, Ivy-san begins to talk about his future plans.

... I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Ivy: Corsa has been contracted to produce the CM.

Rina: Is Corsa the Corsa Agency?

It's the largest advertising agency in Japan, even larger than Aegis.

(I believe they were a strong candidate for this competition as well. I remember they were talking with exe at the Essence show before.)

(But I never thought I'd see Corsa's name mentioned here ...)

I couldn't hide my surprise, but Ivy-san continued his explanation.

Ivy: In choosing Corsa, I had three conditions.

Ivy: First, we need to use the project that you have created. Second, I want you to be the director of the project.

Rina: !? W-wait a minute.

(I was only a staff member, so it would be absurd for me to be a director. No, it's more than that ...!)

Rina: That's not going to happen. The plan has certainly been rethought for re-presentation.

Rina: But the main idea was created when I was at Aegis. I believe the rights to the project still belong to Aegis.

... He seemed to calm down and consented to my words.

Ivy: Of course, I've already thought of that.

Ivy: The third condition is that Corsa has to settle the rights for the project with Aegis.

To my surprise, Corsa seemed to have met these conditions.

Ivy: Corsa was eager to talk to Aegis because they wanted to get this deal.

Ivy: It may take a little longer, but I think they'll make sure they give up their rights.

(Certainly, Corsa, the largest company in Japan, may be able to take advantage in discussions with Aegis ...)

Ivy: The production of the CM will begin as soon as we reach an agreement in this discussion.

Ivy: Until then, we'll be on standby for a while, so let's get ready for what's to come.

(Corsa is the producer of the CM? I'm the director? I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing ...)

The situation was so unexpected that my mind couldn't catch up with it.

Ivy: There are a few things we need to do regarding your new contract.

Rina: New contract ...?

His words confused me even more.

Ivy: You and I will make a direct contract.

Rina: !?

Ivy-san proposed that he be contracted as my employer and I work for him, including the CM.

Ivy: From now on, your job will be mainly to assist me.

Ivy: I'm going to need your help with a lot of things, including preliminary research for exe offers.

Ivy: But don't think too hard. It's not that different from before, and I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do.

Rina: ... Is that what you meant when you said before that "I would be working for you"?

Ivy: Yeah, it's a good idea, right? I can always protect you with this.

(It's not a suggestion ... it's already decided in Ivy-san's mind.)

The proof was in the smile on his face as he looked at me. He probably had no idea that I'd reject him.

Something was rising up from deep within my chest.

Rina: ...

Ivy: Rina-chan, what's wrong? You think it's a good idea, don't you?

Rina: ... I'm glad to be by your side from now on.

Rina: But aren't you being too pushy? At least consult with me first ...

Ivy: Rina-chan ...

Ivy: I'm sorry. But I couldn't help myself when I thought of what I was doing for you ...

Although smiling kindly, there was something off about Ivy-san's words. ... The sense of discomfort was growing.

A personal contract with him. Not so long ago, that would've made my heart flutter. But now ...

(Why do you decide everything on your own? You could have consulted me a little ...)

A hazy feeling spread thorugh my chest. Ivy-san held my hand firmly.

Ivy: I know you may feel uncomfortable in your new environment, but I'll be there for you.

Ivy: I will make sure that you're protected and that you can work in a relaxed environment. You can rest assured.

Rina: Ivy-san, but I'm ...

Ivy: I know, Rina-chan. I love you. ... I don't want anyone to hurt you.

When he stared at me wistfully, I was a at a loss for words.

(I can tell by the look in his eyes that Ivy-san is really thinking of me.)

(All for me ... Then, is that right?)

Is it enough if I just follow his lead, pulled by his gentle hand?

Ivy: You love me, too, don't you? You told me you'd be there for me.

Rina: ... Yes. I love you. But ...*

Ivy: Then you'll understand, won't you?

Rina: Ah ...

He hugged me gently again. As soon as I was enveloped in the marine scent, my heart pounded and my chest heaved.

(... I'm sure this feeling isn't a lie. I'm sincerely thinking of Ivy-san.)

(But ... something feels different.)

Even when he hugged me like this, I didn't feel as happy as I did that night when we confessed our feelings for each other.

I like him, but I can't get rid of my anxiety ...

(Why do I feel so insecure? You take such good care of me ...)

It's as if my thoughts are covered in moss. I don't know my own mind.

(What am I supposed to do ...?)

He gently wrapped my body, which was trembling with confusion and anxiety.

Ivy: There's nothing to be afraid of. It's all right, everything's all right.

He clung to me lovingly, but kept his distance.

Ivy: And ... Rina-chan, I think you should move out of here.

Rina: What? Why ...

Ivy: It's too noisy here. You can't live peacefully with the other members, can you?

Ivy: And I need you to focus on supporting me.

Ivy: Because it makes me a little jealous to see you taking care of the others ...

Rina: Really?

Ivy: Yeah ... I guess I'm more jealous than I thought.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: But I don't want to leave you, so I think it would be better if we moved into the same apartment.*

Ivy: That way, I can see you whenever I want.

Ivy: As soon as a room becomes available, we will make arrangements to move in. Of course, I'll pay the rent.

I couldn't think straight and couldn't respond to his suggestions.

Still, Ivy-san's eyes sparkled as he talked about our future life together.

Ivy: I will wake you up every morning. If I come home early, we'll have dinner together.

Ivy: It would be nice to do some walking together at night, like we did before. ... Oh, I'm looking forward to it.

He laughed, looking really happy.

Ivy: ... I can't wait. I want you all to myself..

Ivy: I'll try to find a new apartment as soon as I can. ... The truth is, I don't want anyone else anywhere near you, not even a little bit.

Rina: Eh, that's a bit ...

Ivy: I told you, didn't I? I'm a jealous man.

Ivy: The members of exe, or Gem, nor the guys at the office. I don't want anyone to see you.

Ivy: I can't bear it to think of you smiling at someone other than me while I'm gone ...

Rina: Ivy-san ...

I looked up at his face, aghast, as he expressed his thoughts and feelings in anguish.

Ivy: ... Hey, Rina-chan. Please don't see other men.

Ivy: Don't leave this room until I get back from work.

Rina: !? I-I can't do that ... no matter how much Ivy-san asks me.

(Because then it's like ...)

He stared at me in amazement ... and chuckled.

Ivy: I'm kidding. That's just like being locked up.

Rina: ... Right.

But there was danger in his eyes now that couldn't be called a joke.

Ivy: Don't be so anxious. I won't do anything you won't like. But ...

Ivy: I can't lock you in, but I'll put a foot shackle or something on you.

Rina: Huh ... ah!

... With a low guttural sound, I was pushed down on the sofa.

It was so sudden it caught me by surprise, and caused my body to stiffen.

He opened my collar and brought his lips to my now exposed skin ... and sucked hard.

Rina: Nng ...!

Ivy: ... You're sensitive. And your skin is so white, so you've got a nice mark on you.*

Rina: W-what are you doing?

Ivy: It's a hickey. Over here.

After the soft sensation of his lips, they sucked hard.

Rina: Ah.

When I wept, his arms held me around my waist and restrained me from moving.

Rina: Ivy-san, please don't do this ...

Ivy: No, stay still.

While sweetly chastising me, he carved his marks without mercy.

Hickeys were repeatedly and obsessively place on my neck, collarbone ... and anywhere else my skin was visible.

My body shook with tears in my eyes at the painful stimulation.

Ivy: Fufu, I guess you can't go out in public anymore.

Rina: ... Why are you doing this?

Ivy: Because I love you.

Rina: !

Ivy: You love me too, right? Then you'll accept me, won't you?

Rina: That's ...

I couldn't deny it, because even after this treatment, my heart was beating wildly.

Every time he touched me, my body and mind trembled uncontrollably.

(This is crazy. It's probably not a good thing ... but I can't let it go.)

Ivy: I'm glad you accepted me. We're going to be together forever. I'll do anything for you ...

Ivy: I love you, Rina.*

I couldn't respond to his smile, which seemed to be utterly happy.

Note 1: Wow, he isn't even asking anymore.

Note 2: I just want to note here that Ivy actually used 'tsuki' which I translate as 'like', but 'love' fits him better, while Rina uses 'daitsuki' here, which basically means 'big like' aka love, so she really says love.

Note 3: ... You've been together for ... about a week? That's ... just wow, I'm completely at a loss for words here.

Note 4: Dead eyes Ivy unlocked.

Note 5: Three things. First, thanks Ivy for destroying my Note 2. Second, he skipped honofirics completely now, which is the most personal you can get in Japanese. Third, he used 'aishiteruyo' here, which is the most meaningful use of love. I'd normally use 'adore' in that case, but that's too gentle for the situation.

Ivy Chapter 18

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Ivy: ...

(Huh …?)

There was Ivy-san, who looked at me with the coldest eyes I’ve ever seen …

I was stunned and couldn't believe what I saw before my eyes.

But it was only for a moment.

Ivy: ... Come on, guys, cut the crap.

He quickly put this look behind him and approaches with a smile that's kind like always.

Ivy: If you overdo it, you'll mess up her hair. That's enough.

He gently released me from Finn-san and the others and brushed my hair.

Ivy: Are you okay, Rina-chan? I'm sorry about them.

Rina: Yes ... I'm okay. Thank you.

(That's Ivy-san as usual. Was I mistaken earlier ...?)

The members booed at him.

Jace: Well, that makes it sound like we're annoying you, Aegis-chan.

Xeno: I'm just trying to help this girl get some results.

Finn: Yeah. Let me pet you a little more.

Hugh: ... I want to celebrate.

Ivy: I think that stroking her that much was enough to convey your feelings of blessing, right, Rina-chan?

Rina: Umm ... yes. I'm really happy about your feelings.

When I answered in a puzzled manner, Ivy-san said with a smile.

Ivy: Then I'll let Aegis know the results of this presentation via Essence at a later date.

Rina: Yes! Thank you all so much.

I bowed to them once again.

After taking a bath that night and freshening up. I wiped my hair with a towel, I remembered everything that had happened.

(It's been a tough time ... When I failed in the presentation and lost my position in the company, I thought I was finished.)

(But because Ivy-san was there, I was able to do my best.)

(It's also thanks to Ivy-san's help that I was able to successfully hold a second presentation.)

(I'm so glad I met Ivy-san ...)

While I was thinking about that, there was a knock on my door.

Ivy: Rina-chan, may I come in?

It was exactly the voice of the person I was thinking of right now.

Rina: Y-yes! Come in.

When he came in, his eyes widened when he saw me.

Ivy: I'm sorry, I must have picked the wrong time.

Rina: Hm?

Ivy: You hair ... it's wet.

(Oh, come to think of it, I haven't dried it yet. I don't think I can continue talking like this ...)

Rina: I'll dry it right away. I'll come to your room later.

Ivy: ...

He looks at me with a somewhat thoughtful expression.

Rina: ... Um, Ivy-san? What's wrong? Is there a problem ...?

He interrupted me and made an unexpected suggestion.

Ivy: How about ... let me dry your hair.

Rina: What!?

Ivy: I think it would kill two birds with one stone, because then we could stay together and you could dry your hair.

Rina: Well, that's true.

(It's a bit embarrassing ...)

Ivy: I'm sorry for asking you to do something weird, but I'd like to do it. ... Don't you like it?

Ivy-san peeks at me as if to ask me a question.

(Come to think of it ... I remember when he asked me to pet his head before, he was like this ...)

(I guess Ivy-san is a bit naive after all.)

Rina: ... I understand. If that's what you want, please go ahead.

Ivy: Thank you.

When I said this shyly after some hesitation, his face lit up.

Ivy: Then sit down over there. Here's the hair dryer.

He set up the place with excitement.

(It's a little embarrassing, but if you look so happy, it's okay.)

Ivy: Then let's get started.

Rina: Okay.

Ivy-san carefully ran the hair dryer through my hair and dried it.

(... It feels good.)

His long, supple fingertips glide softly through my hair.

His hands are so gentle, and I could feel his gentleness in every caress ...

(What should I do? I'm restless.)

I couldn't help but feel my heart pounding in my chest at the unusual contact with him.

Ivy: Is it too hot? Are you okay?

Rina: I'm fine.

Rina: Are you ... by any chance, used to this kind of thing?

Ivy: Hmm ...? Are you jealous, maybe?

Rina: Eeh!? No, that's not why. You're just very good at it ...

Ivy: Haha, too bad. ... But yes, I guess I am.

Ivy: I used to dry my sister's hair like this.

Rina: Really?

Ivy: Yes. Our parents both worked, so they came home late.

Ivy: We were always together and it was my job to take care of her.

Ivy: So I used to dry my sister's hair like this after her bath.

Coughing, Ivy-san squinted nostalgically in the mirror.

(you really are a kind brother, aren't you?)

He looks nostalgic and kind ... his expression as an older brother makes my heart ache.

Rina: ... I wonder if Ivy-san still sees me as a little sister.

I couldn't help but let those words excape my mouth.

Ivy: What ...?

Rina: Ah ... I'm sorry, it's nothing.

(Oh my god ... I didn't mean to say this.)

I'm touched by the person I like. That alone should make me happy.

Moreover, he's a super idol, someone I'd never have been able to get close to in the first place.

(I know, but I want a different relationship. I'm really a complimentary person ...)

I was overcome with regret ... And then.

Ivy: ... You know what? I have something to tell you.

Ivy-san turned off the hair dryer and put his hand on my shoulder.

Ivy: At first, I certainly thought of you as a kind of sister.

Ivy: I couldn't leave your hard-working, slightly fragile self alone, so I ended up taking care of you.

Ivy: But ... that's not the case now.

I'm startled by the seriousness of his eyes as he stares at me through the mirror.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: You're so pure and brave ... You always go the extra mile for me.

Ivy: I found it cute and ... found myself drawn to you.

His words take my breath away.

Ivy: I want you by my side all the time, and I want to protect you.

Ivy: ... I like you, Rina-chan.

Rina: Huh ...

(I ... can't believe it. Ivy-san, you're saying this to me?)

(I can't believe that a super idol, who is loved all over the world, likes me ...)

I can't believe it. But the look he's directing at me through his sharp eyes is serious.

His eyes, which are somewhat passionate as if he's gazing at something he loves, make it clear that he is serious about what he says.

Rina: I-I ...

As soon as I started to speak, I felt a burning in my chest.

Rina: ... I like you too, Ivy-san.

My feelings for him overflow with joy, and they slip out of my mouth of their own accord.

Ivy: Rina-chan, are you sure about that?

Rina: It's true. I've always liked you.

I thought it was a feeling I shouldn't convey. Our positions were too different.

(But Ivy-san told me he likes me. Then ... I want to tell him too.)

Rina: Your kindness has been there for me ever since we first met.

Rina: Your concern for me always saved and healed me ... I found myself falling in love with you.

Ivy: Rina-chan ...

Ivy-san smiled faintly.

Ivy: I'm so happy ...! We feel the same. It feels like a dream to hear you say that to me.

Rina: I'm the one who feels like in a dream. I never thought Ivy-san and I would fall in love with each other.

Rina: I'm so normal ...

Ivy: What are you talking about? You're a lovely, wonderful girl. You just don't know it.

Ivy: That kind od unawareness ... it's cute, but it worries me. I also worry about how hard you try.

Rina: Ah ...

He hugged me slightly from behind.

The gentle warmth and fresh maritime scent of him made my heart beat wildly and painfully.

(I'm so happy ... it really is like a dream.)

Ivy: ... With such small, thin shoulders, you've worked so hard to ... get through so many things.

I can feel the care and concern he has for me.

Ivy: From now on, I'll protect you. I'll never let you have any hardships.

Ivy: So don't leave me, Rina-chan.

A low, sweet voice is like a devil in my ear.

(What should I do ... I'm so nervous I might go crazy.)

As soo as our feelings were reciprocated, I felt like I was going to be drowned in the warmth and affection he lavished on me.

Rina: Of course ... Ivy-san.

Ivy: Yeah, thank you.

It was an enthusiastic, righteous smile.

Ivy: I'd love to hold you like this longer, but I've got to dry your hair soon.

He comes back to himself and says shyly, and my face starts to blush.

Rina: Y-you're right.

Ivy: Haha ... sorry. I stopped in the middle. I'll continue. You'll catch a cold.

Rina: Okay ...

Ivy-san resumed blow-drying my hair.

(... I'm more nervous than before, I don't feel at ease.)

Having shared our feelings, I became even more aware of the feeling of his hand.

Ivy: I love your hair, it's so soft and smooth and I want to touch it all the time.

Rina: You think so? I think it's normal ...

When I answered shyly, Ivy-san laughed as if in trouble.

Ivy: I think it's cute that you're unaware of your own attractiveness, but I'm still worried about you ... Like earlier.

Rina: Earlier?

Ivy: Like casually letting someone into your room after taking a bath.

Ivy: I'm glad it was me, but you can't let another man see you like that.

Rina: You're worrier, aren't you, Ivy-san?

Ivy: Because it's you.

Rina: !

... I'm happy to hear such enthusiastic comments.

Ivy: Finn and the others were patting you on the head ... so you have to be careful with that stuff from now on.

(I'm sure everyone is fine with that ...)

Ivy: Rina-chan, I beg you, don't open yourself up to other men.

Rina: Okay ...

Ivy: It's a promise. ... And also a suggestion.

Ivy: Why don't you install a location sharing app?*

Rina: Eh, why?

Ivy: Just in case something goes wrong.

Rina: That's a little too much to worry about.

Ivy: I don't think so. ... Is that a no? I'm worried about you.

It feels like an exaggeration, but his eyes are scary serious as he looks at me through the mirror.

(Maybe that's how much he thinks of me ...)

Rina: ... I understand.

When I accepted, even though I was puzzled, Ivy-san smiled happily.

Ivy: Thank you!

Satisfied with my answer, he begins to brush my dry hair.

Ivy: Ah, what beautiful hair ...

Ivy: They messed it up, so I have to put it back together properly ....

Ivy: I wish I could've washed your hair where they touched it, and made sure it was all washed out ...*

While mumbling that, he brushed my hair carefully again and again.

(...? What is this feeling?)

The same gesture as before. Ivy-san's smile is gentle and warm.

... Something that I can't explain left a rough and uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

Note: Do I even have to tell you that Ivy went from smiling to serious with his dead eyes in these sentences? I have a talent for spotting the possessive ones. And yeah, his issues are totally healed. Protip, mental health doesn't work like that xD

That week after returning from Macau. The day finally came.

The manager called me and told me that the contract would be terminated at the end of this week.

(I'm running out of time ... I have to hold another presentation soon.)

--flashback--

Ivy: … Thank you. I may not be the most reliable leader, but I’ll try my best.

Finn: Yeah. Of course!

Xeno: I’ve been saying that from the beginning. … Absolutely.

Hugh: Yeah. Good …!

Jace: We are no good without Ivy.

Ivy: Haha, I’ll be there for you. I’ll support you guys.

--flashback end--

The members of exe, who communicated with each other in Macau. That scene gave me the idea for the re-presentation.

(If the presentation is successful, I'm sure I won't have to leave Aegis ...!)

As I pondered this, Yamauchi-san approached me.

Yamauchi Kota: Cheer up. I'm sure there are plenty of other jobs out there.

Rina: Yamauchi-san ...

(It's been a long time since I've been spoken to. You've been avoiding me lately ...)

Yamauchi Kota: Hey, why don't you come to dinner with me today? Let's have a drink and blow all that shit out of the water.

Rina: ... No, thank you.

Yamauchi Kota: ... If you're refusing my advances, is it because you have a boyfriend?

Rina: ? What do you ...

(Why are you asking me that?)

Rina: I'm not in the mood for that right now. I'm sorry.

Although I was concerned abou Yamauchi-san's subtle expression, my mind was occupied with the impending termination of the contract.

And that night.

Ivy: Rina-chan, I'm home. What's wrong? You look so serious. Did something happen?

Rina: Welcome back, Ivy-san. In fact, I have a favor to ask you.

I waited for Ivy-san when he came home from work, and I began to talk to him.

Rina: Would you be willing to present the Essence perfume project again?

Ivy: ... Well, you finally got your plan together.

Rina: Yes. I'm sure I can make a presentation now that you will be satisfied with.

The recent unification of exe inspired me to make a re-presentation.

(If we put this idea together, I am sure we can come up with something good.)

(Now if I can just get a chance to present again ...!)

Rina: Please. I will never disappoint you!

Ivy: I was thinking about how you were thinking while helping me with my work. You're really good at what you do.

Ivy: I'm glad you asked me to help you with your re-presentation. I'll talk to the others right away

Rina: Thank you very much!

Ivy: I'll adjust my schedule. Can you let me know when would work best for you?

Rina: I'll check back soon.

The moment I opened my phone ... a message arrived on the messenger app.

Rina: !

Startled, I refexively open it.

(Who in the world sent me a ... eh, Yamauchi-san!?)

(I didn't give him my contact information. How?)

Ivy: ... What's wrong?

Ivy-san asked but ...

Rina: Oh, umm, I got a call about that job.

I lied to him. I promised not to hide anything, so I felt guilty, but ...

(I don't want to be misunderstood in a wrong way ...)

Rina: It's nothing, so don't worry about it.

Ivy: ... Really? Then it's all right.

Rina: Yes. I'm sorry, I'm in the middle of something. Here's the schedule for the re-presentation ...

I told him a few convenient days.

Ivy: I'll tell everyone. Just leave it to me.

I was delighted to see Ivy-san smiling at me.

Rina: Thank you very much! I'll make sure I give a presentation that will convince everyone!

(I'm glad I consulted Ivy-san! I'll finish the documents today.)

I clenched my hands together in a surge of enthusiasm.

Ivy: ... By the way, Rina-chan. Changing the subject, I actually have a present for you.

Rina: Eh?

Ivy: This ...

He presented me with a leather notebook. It had a classy design, and the quality of the notebook was obvious.

Rina: ! Oh no, I can't take it.

Ivy: Don't say that. Take it. I really appreciate everything you did for me the other day.

Ivy: Without you, I'd still be struggling with the feeling of inferiority to my fellow team members.

Rina: Of course I'll take action. Because if it's a concern for you, it's important for me too.

Ivy: Rina-chan ...

Ivy: Thank you. I'm very happy to hear you say that.

Rina: But ... I really feel bad about that. I always get things from you, Ivy-san.

Ivy: No, don't. You've given me so much.

Ivy: In fact, this present isn't even worth what you gave me.

Ivy: I can't let my feelings get the better of me if I don't do something. So I thought you'd help me out ... right?

Rina: Ivy-san ...

(I can't believe you think so much of me ...)

Rina: ... I will take good care of it. Thank you very much.

Ivy: Yeah, do that.

Then I received the notebook, he smiled happily.

Ivy: I'm glad. I wanted to thank you somehow.

Ivy: I was very happy that you solved my problems, but I was also very happy that you promised not to hide things from me.

His words made my heart ache.

(I promised you, but I hid Yamauchi-san from you earlier ...)

I wondered if I should still tell you about it ...

Ivy: I don't want you to be shy with me. If you have any problems in the future, please let me know.

Rina: ... Yes.

(I can't be bothered with this little thing any more when I'm relying on you for the re-presentation.)

(And ... I don't want to be misunderstood too much.)

... I felt guilty, but in the end, I couldn't talk about it.

exe gets into their car after recording a music program.

Sakura Eito: Next we're shooting at a studio in Minato.

Jace: I'm tired. But didn't it feel great?

Xeno: Yes. We performed as planned, if not better.

Hugh: Yeah ... was fun ... and the talk too ...

Ivy: Hugh was more active in the conversation today than usual. He usually looks like he's sleepy.

Jace: Xeno was quite involved in the conversation, if you ask me.

Jace: Usually, it's just me and Ivy, and sometimes Finn, too.

Finn: Yeah. I think it was the first time we've had that much fun during a talk corner.

Xeno: ... Maybe so.

Sakura Eito: The program director was also happy, He said that he was able to capture exe in a more harmonious and friendly atmosphere than usual.

Sakura Eito: It was a good vibe from my point of view, and it still is.

Ivy: Even now?

Sakura Eito: Because in the past, these travel times were spent either in silence or doing whatever you wanted to do.

Ivy: I guess it's true what you say.

Sakura Eito: Hm? I haven't seen you guys talk to each other in such a soft atmosphere since you were formed.

Sakura Eito: Exspecially Ivy has changed. I feel that you lost your self-consciousness.

Ivy: ... Hm. I feel much better than before.

Finn: I guess that whole Macau thing must have worked, huh?

Jace: I think it's thanks to Aegis-chan that we were able to do this. If we had been on our own, we wouldn't have even noticed Ivy's problems.

Xeno: Without her work, we certainly wouldn't be where we are today.

Hugh: Housekeeper-san ... awasome ...

Ivy: Yes. I can't thank her enough.

Sakura Eito: I was very impressed by what she said. It was a good decision to invite her to the aprtment.

Sakura Eito: The members are getting to know each better, and Kawanaga-chan is doing an excellent job. I can't say enough good things about her.

Sakura Eito: Even before the presentation, I knew she was different from the others.

Finn: I'm thinking it's about time we heard a re-presentation of the situation.

Ivy: !

The members, oblivious to the wide-eyed Ivy, are all in favor of the idea.

Jace: That's good, isn't it? I'm sure Aegis-chan will come up with a better idea than the last one.

Hugh: Yes. Housekeeper-san knows us very well ..

Xeno: I'm sure she'll do a great job. I'm interested to see what she'll do with the re-presentation.

Finn: I know. Don't you think so too, Ivy?

Ivy: Yeah ... I guess so.

Ivy: ... I was so impressed with the way she was able to change the atmosphere of the room. Is this her power, too ...?

Finn: Ivy? What's wrong?

Ivy: ... I've been just asked by Rina-chan to help her with the re-presentation.

... And so.

All members were in agreement, and a date was set for the re-presentation.

... A few days later.

With all the members gathered, it was time for my re-presentation.

(Ivy-san made this chance for me. I will do my best and grab it!)

Rina: Well then, everyone, please take a look at this document first ...

... I put everything I had into the presentation.

For the new project, I further expanded on the idea of personifying jewels.

exe, who has become more human through the perfume, clash and struggle with each other.

Through this process, trust is born in them ... and they change.

The members listened intently, sometimes interrupting with pointed questions. And then ...

Xeno: ... It's a novel idea. I think exe deserves to take it on.

Finn: Yeah, I'm in.

Jace: Sounds like fun!

Hugh: I agree ... I'd like to try it ...

Ivy: ... I'm with you. I thought your idea was great.

They all accepted my presentation and gave me a pass.

Rina: Thank you very much ...!

The joy welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

(You all recognized me, we can make the CM. I'm so happy ...!)

(I'm sure I won't have to quit my job now ...)

Rina: Really ... thank you so much ...

Finn: What are you crying about, you idiot? That's the part where you laugh.

Rina: Huh!?

Finn-san starts to stir my head, and then everyone joins in ...

Jace: I'm happy for you, Aegis-chan. You did a great job preparing for the presentation.

Xeno: It was a good presentation, but don't get carried away. The hard part is just beginning.

Rina: Of course!

Hugh: Yeah, good luck ...

With a warm smile or a soft look in their eyes, the members encouraged me.

(Oh, I have to thank Ivy-san as well.)

(I'm grateful to Ivy-san, who has supported me throughout the entire process, for helping me achieve this result.)

... I turned my head and saw a scene I had never imagined.

Ivy: ...

(Huh ...?)

There was Ivy-san, who looked at me with the coldest eyes I've ever seen ...

Ivy Chapter 9

DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story. Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Rina: That's it.

I finished cleaning the room and exhaled.

(I've been able to get it done in a lot less time than in the beginning.)

This is thanks to time I have spent helping Ivy-san.

As soon as I think of that ... what happened at that meeting a few days ago comes to my mind again.

--flashback--

Ivy: We get along, sure, but it isn’t like that.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san thinks of me like a big brother.

Ivy: For me, she’s like a cute little sister.

--flashback end--

Rina: ... like a sister

(Not so long ago, I didn't mind being treated like that by Ivy-san.)

In fact, I was even glad to be familiar with him.

And yet, now that I'm aware of my feelings for him, it hurts so much.

(... stop. It's no use thinking about it. I need to focus on what I can do instead.)

I shake my head to shake off the sinking feeling.

(Well, I'll have to look into exe again today.)

(I've been spending a lot of time helping out for a while now and haven't gotten around to doing the research for the presentation ...)

With that in mind, I was looking for materials and found a CD stuffed into a box at the back of a shelf.

It appears to be a CD with sound data burned into it, and the title is written on the label of the case.

(It doesn't seem to be the name of an exe song. Let's give it a listen.)

I'm also allowed to use the room's audio when researching.

I immediately started playing it, and what I heard was Ivy-san's singing voice.

The direction is completely different from the cool, tension-filled songs of today's exe.

(But it's warm and gentle and fits Ivy-san's voice tremendously. It's a lovely song.)

... As I was listening to the music, the door of the room suddenly opened.

I turned around to see if Ivy-san had returned.

Hitaki-san was there.

Hitaki: Hey, you were there too.

Rina: Is there a problem, Hitaki-san?

Hitaki: I'm here to borrow some materials. Ivy-san told me it's fine.

When Hitaki-san entered the room, he seemed to notice the music playing in the room.

Hitaki: ... Oh, I know I've heard this somewhere before. This is an R2R song.

'R2R' ... I remember when I looked up exe during the presentation, that name came up.

Rina: I think that's the music unit that Ivy-san had before exe, isn't it?

Hitaki: Yes, it was a unit formed by Ivy-san and Eito-san. This is a hit song from that time.

Hitaki: I'm sure it quite well domestically, but by the looks of it, you don't know?

Rina: Yes ... I wasn't really into music.

Rina: I've only seen a few names when I looked up exe, but I don't know much about it.

Hitaki: If you're interested, I can tell you what I know.

Rina: I'd love to!

Hitaki: That's quite a quick answer. Do you want to know so much about Ivy-san?

Rina: What!? That's not why ...

Hitaki: Hmm, just kidding.

Hitaki: As I mentioned earlier, R2R is a duo unit consisting of Eito-san and Ivy-san.

Hitaki: He was very popular among young people because of his consistent singing ability and high level of music.

Rina: Certainly, it's a great song, too.

Rina: The atmosphere is quite different from that of today's exe.

Hitaki: R2R's songs are more melody-driven than exe's songs which are more rhythm-driven.

Hitaki: I heard that Ivy-san is writing the music now, but back then he and Eito-san were working on it together.

Hitaki: I guess the unit changed, and so did his musicality.

(I see what you mean. Maybe that's one of those things ...)

Hitaki: R2R was expected to go global, but ... the results didn't go well.

Hitaki: No matter how popular they were in Japan, they weren't accepted overseas.

Rina: ... I see.

(It's a really tough world ... after all those great songs.)

Hitaki: That's why Eito-san used his experience to start Aero Light Productions.

Hitaki: He's trying to raise the bar in the japanese music industry and create a group that can compete on a global level.

Rina: I see ...

I had heard that Sakura-san was a former musician, but I had no idea he had such deep thoughts.

And I didn't know that Ivy-san had a bitter experience of losing in front of the world's wall.

(Somehow I find that hard to believe, even though Ivy-san is now very active as an exe member.)

(I'm sure it must have been very frustrating and painful ...)

Hitaki: ... what are you thinking about? Maybe about Ivy-san?

Rina: Yes ... it is truly amazing that he has overcome so many setbacks and is doing so well.

Rina: I can't even imagine how much effort he had to put in to acquire the skills necessary to compete on the world stage.

Hitaki: That's right ... fufu, you're really all about Ivy-san. I'm a little jealous.

Rina: Eh?

Then I finally realized that Hitaki-san and I were getting awfully close.

Rina: U-uh ...?

Hitaki: Ah, sorry. I just thought it was kind of cute how you were trying so hard to care for Ivy-san.

Hitaki: I'd like to get a better look at that face.

With a sweet smile, Hitaki-san peeked at me.

Rina: I don't think I'm cute ...

(So close to my face ...!)

As I try to keep my distance, a large palm is placed on my shoulder.

Hitaki: Don't run away. I just want to talk to you more.

My resistance was suppressed and I was pulled towards Hitaki-san with a strong force.

Rina: Talk to me about what?

Hitaki: Remember what I said at our meeting the other day, that I wanted you to help me with Gem, not exe?

Rina: I remember. But I turned that down at the time, didn't I?

As I tried to turn away from his approaching face, Hitaki-san's palm gently touched my cheek.

The coolness of the air makes me shiver.

Hitaki: Would you please think about it again? I just can't give up.

Rina: Why are you so ...? I don't think Gem needs me.

Hitaki: You underestimate yourself. Your power is a wonderful thing.

Hitaki: In fact, the exe members were happy to see how well you did, weren't they?

Rina: B-but I ...

Hitaki: I know. You did your best for Ivy-san.

Hitaki: What's so special about Ivy-san?

Rina: !!

I froze at his words and looked up at him, stunned. Hitaki-san's smile deepened as his eyes seemed to see through everything.

Hitaki: ... you think of him like a big brother? I know you can count on him to be kind to you.

Rina: Y-yes ... I ...

... I feel like I have to affirm it, but my voice is stuck in my throat and won't come out.

Hitaki: Ivy-san also said that he thinks of you as a sister.

Rina: ...

Hitaki: It's a wonderful relationship, isn't it? ... But, really, is that enough for you?

Hitaki-san's hand was holding my shoulder, but before I knew it, it was around my waist.

A palm slides across my cheek, making me look up as I try to turn away.

Rina: Please let go of me ...

Hitaki: ... You should go to Gem. It would make you happier.

He was drawing closer.

Hitaki: I value your ability and would be willing to do great work with you if you would become a Gem exclusive.

Hitaki: I know we will be irreplaceable partners, both publicly and privately.

Rina: But I'm ...

Hitaki: And I don't think you're a little sister. You're very pretty and attractive woman who can be desperate for someone.

Hitaki: I'm not going to make you feel lonely by treating you like a child.

Rina: ...

The gently whispered words seemed to contain some kind of magical power.

Just as Hitaki-san's air was about to consume me ... the door to the room opened.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san ... and Hitaki?

When Ivy-san comes into the room, his eyes widen and he looks at me and Hitaki-san.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

My head cooled down at once. Quickly, I shake off Hitaki-san's hand and move away.

Rina: ...

I felt like I had to say something, but I was to upset to speak.

Ivy: ... You look pale. Calm down.

Seeing me, he lowered his eyebrows in concern.

(What should I do? I can't believe Ivy-san saw me in that position ...!)

Hitaki: Welcome back, Ivy-san. You're back earlier than I expected.

Ivy: I got the job done smoothly.

Ivy: I know Kawanaga-san is cleaning ... but what are you doing here?

Hitaki: I came to borrow some materials. Then I ran into her by chance and we had a little chat.

Hitaki: Right?

Rina: Y-yes ...

That's certainly not wrong.

But after being so close to him like that, and after he whispered those words to me ... I felt guilty for some reason.

(I know you saw me earlier, Ivy-san. I hope he didn't think I was weird.)

(Or do you think I'm just like a little sister and don't care ...?)

I can't look at Ivy-san's face.

What Hitaki-san said to me earlier is going through my mind.

Rina: ... and I'm done cleaning for the day.

Rina: Excuse me!

I was so frustrated that I ran away from the place.

Hitaki: Oh, she got away. Fufu ... She's really funny.

Hitaki: She's as honest as a puppy. Her expression changes from one moment to the next, and she's easy to read.

Hitaki: I can see why Ivy-san adores her.

Ivy: Hitaki ... Don't mess with Kawanaga-san as a joke.

Ivy: She's so pure. She's working so hard in an environment she's not used to.

Hitaki: I'm not kidding ...

Hitaki: Does that mean I can ask you a question if I'm not joking?

Ivy: What?

Hitaki: As she's a housekeeper, you're in charge of her, and you spend the most time together.

Hitaki: My connection to her is certainly tenous by comparison.

Ivy: Ah. So get to the point ...

Hitaki: But that doesn't matter. I like her.

Ivy: What did you say?

Hitaki: I recognize her abilities and understand her feelings ... much more than you do.

Ivy: ... What does that mean?

Hitaki: I mean it as it is ... If you're going to be like that forever, I'll take her.

Ivy: ...

Hitaki: ... Sometimes the most precious things that we take for granted can suddenly disappear one day.

Hitaki: Please be careful.

Ivy: !

Hitaki: ... then I'll be off. Excuse me.

Aloof, Hitaki walked out of the room.

The remaining Ivy stands alone, wide-eyed and stunned.

Ivy: ... The important things we take for granted will cease to be ...

He mutters in a small voice and turns around.

Ivy: ...

What are those eyes, shaking with pain, reflecting?

No one else knew about it.

Ivy Chapter 13

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

When I returned home with a drunk Ivy-san, there was no sign of anyone in the living room, as if everyone was already resting.

Rina: Ivy-san, we're home. Please hang in there.

Ivy: Un ...

I support him as we walk, bearing the weight of his body on my shoulders.

Rina: It's good, it's good ...

Ivy: ... nng

We entered the room and managed to get him to sit on the bed.

I'm sweating from relief and exhaustion, but I don't have time to relax.

Ivy: ... ng

When I peeked in, I saw that Ivy-san had a red face and was repeatedly breathing hotly.

His moist gaze was unsteady, and he seemed to be looking at me, but not at me.

Rina: Here's some water. Can you drink it?

Ivy: Drink ...

Pulling the glass of water to his lips, he slurps it down and takes a gulp.

Ivy: ... Thank you.

Ivy: ... Hah ...

He fell down on the bed with a thud.

Ivy: Hot ...

He was able to answer a few questions, but he was probably still very drunk. His tone was unreliable and extremely weak.

Ivy: ... for bothering you, sorry ... I'm so unseemly.

Ivy: I didn't want you to see me like this ...

Rina: I don't think you're bothering me at all. Rather ... I'm sorry.

Ivy: ... Why are you apologizing?

Rina: Because you did this to protect me ...

(Because I offended that man. Besides, tequila is such a strong drink, it's only natural one gets completely wasted from it.)

If he hadn't drank for me, I'd have been the one who got drunk.

Ivy: ... You don't have to feel responsible. I was the one who got mad and provoked him.

Ivy: I wanted to ... protect you this time myself. I couldn't do it the other day ...

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: But now I'm in this mess ... I'm really screwed ...

Rina: Don't say that. I'm grateful.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san ...

Rina: It's true. That's why I don't want you to hold back.

Rina: Rely on me more to let me take care of you, so that you feel at ease.

Rina: I'll do anything to help you, Ivy-san.

Ivy: Anything ... huh

Ivy: You said that to me before.

Rina: ... Come to think of it, yes.

Ivy: It's strange. When you say it like that, it makes me want to spoil you.

He looks at me and smiles. His expression looks more fragile than usual, and my heart tightens ...

Rina: If so, please indulge me.

Ivy: I'm glad ... you're doing this for someone like me.

(Someone like me ... why do you say that?)

I don't understand why he is so down on himself.

When I was at a loss for a response and fell silent, Ivy-san muttered something inaudible.

Ivy: ... It's true what Arai-san said earlier ... I'm a good-for-nothing.

Rina: What?

Ivy: The songs I wrote for R2R didn't sell overseas.

Ivy: Eito, on the other hand ... was amazing. I'm the only one who can't do it ...

Ivy: If I hadn't been a member of the unit, R2R might have not disbanded.

Rina: !!

Ivy: exe doesn't really need me either.

Ivy: Eito approached me because he felt guilty for disbanding R2R and it was like a favor from an old friend ...

His words, muttered with empty eyes, gave me a tremendous shock.

Rina: What are you talking about? There's no such thing as a favor.

Ivy: It's true ... because I don't have anything.

Ivy: All of exe are awsome ... Xeno, Jace, Finn and Hugh ... they all have special talents.

Ivy: I'm the only mediocre one. I can sing, dance, compose ... nothing really great.

Ivy: They are all special. I'm different from them ...

Rina: ...

Ivy: So I have to ... work harder. I have to work harder than the others so that I can help ... everyone.

Ivy: If I don't ... I won't be able to stay in exe ...

Rina: Ivy-san ...

I was speechless at the sound of his voice as he squeezed it out.

Even though he isn't outstanding in singing or dancing in the team, Ivy-san is relied upon as a leader who brings everyone together.

(I never thought he'd have such complex thoughts.)

I could not see a trace of such an attitude from him in his normal life.

If he hadn't gotten drunk like this, he would have kept it a secret from everyone in a long time.

(That was a reason why he tried to handle so many tasks by himself ...)

It is painful to think of his feelings, hiding his anxiety behind his gentle smile for so long.

Rina: ... That's not true. I have told you many times that you are a great person, Ivy-san.

... I couldn't keep silent and said so.

Rina: exe absolutely needs Ivy-san's presence.

Ivy: Thank you for comforting me. You are always so kind ...

(No. He doesn't take me seriously ...!)

I wanted him to understand, so I leaned towards him.

Rina: I'm not trying to comfort you. Please listen to me, Ivy-san.

I took his hand and held it tightly. He seemed surprised by my strong tone.

Rina: You are a lot more than you think you are.

Ivy: I don't ... believe that. How can you have that much faith in my talents?

Rina: The reason why you're able to stay together as a group is because Ivy-san connects them all.

Rina: You take the initiative to take on tasks and you're always there to understand and care for everyone ...

Rina: Without you, I think exe would have fallen apart long ago.

Ivy: You're just imagining things. I was just trying to gain a reason for my existence by doing that.

Ivy: I don't have a strong personality or talent, so I can only be useful in that way.

Rina: No, Ivy-san isn't lying in the kindness he shows to all of them.

(I've been on the sidelines for a long time, so I understand that much ...)

Rina: They trust you because they know you are aware of it.

Ivy: ...

Rina: And you say you don't have the talent to compose music, but I don't think that's true.

The songs presented by exe are always songs that only exe can express.

Rina: You know your members better than anyone else, and they couldn't have done it without you.

Rina: And you, who has created such songs despite your troubles, how could you not be?

Ivy: ...

His shaking eyes convey his confusion.

Rina: You're the undisputed leader of exe and an exceptional person.

(And to, the most important person of all ...)

Rina: No matter what anyone says, even if you don't believe in yourself ... I believe in you.

Rina: I'll be always be there for you ...!

I held his hand and pleaded desperately. I wanted him to understand his power and charm that he was unaware of.

Ivy-san was silent for a while, but eventually ...

Ivy: ... I'm not sure yet, but I know you mean what you say.

Ivy: You always look me straight in the eye ...

Ivy: I think I'd like to believe ... if that's what you said.

He laughed when he said that.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: Thank you, Kawanaga-san.

Ivy: ... No, Rina-chan.

Rina: Eh!?

I was startled when he called my given name for the first time. I let go of his hand, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back with all his might.

Rina: Ah ...!

The next moment I fell on the bed, and he was holding me in his arms.

Ivy: I just had to call you by your given name ... didn't you like it?

Rina: No, I don't mind.

(I'm rather glad ...)

Ivy: Good ...

The meltingly sweet smile makes my heart race to the point of bursting.

His eyes, hotter than usual due to drunkenness, were peering at me from a close distance.

Ivy: I'm glad you said that earlier ... you're the only one who's on my side at all times, aren't you?

Ivy: Promise me you'll never leave my side ...?

His body heat can be felt from where our bodies are touching.

The palm of one hand caresses my lips, and my body shivers with the heat.

Rina: Y-yes. I promise.

As if by magic, the words were slipping out.

Rina: I'll stay close by your side ...

Ivy: I'm glad you're here, Hana-chan ... with me, all the time ...

His face comes closer.

The aroma of western liquor wafting from his breath was almost intoxicating.

Soon our lips will touch ...

Rina: ...

I close my eyes as quickly as I can out of embarrassment.

... But soon I heard a small sigh.

Ivy: ...

(He's asleep ...)

His eyes were glazed over, perhaps because he was sleepy.

I had mixed feelings, disappointed and relieved.

I gently get up from the bed.

Ivy: ...

He's sleeping peacfully, but I'm really restless.

(I was about to be ... kissed ...)

I'm embarrassed when I remember.

(Ivy-san ... what do you think of me?)

The person who is supposed to answer me is in a dream.

I let out a sigh, put the blanket over Ivy-san's body and left the room ...

... The next morning.

I wanted to wake up Ivy-san at 6am because I was told he had a lesson at 7am ...

Ivy: Uuh ...

He was in no condition to get up from his bed.

Rina: Are you okay?

Ivy: I think I might be a bit ... spoiled. My head hurts ...

Rina: You have a hangover ... Here is your drink. Please drink it.

Ivy: Sorry ... thank you ...

I hurriedly give the green-faced Ivy-san a bottle of sports drink.

Ivy: Uh ...

He finally looked up at me, perhaps a little calmer now that he had rehydrated and sugared up.

Ivy: I ... got drunk and bothered you, didn't I?

Rina: Don't worry about it. I wasn't bothered by it at all.

Ivy: Sorry. I appreciate you saying that ...

The way he smiled bitterly was as usual, and I couldn't see any sign of him revealing his painful thoughts.

(Perhaps you don't remember what happened last night?)

(Did you forget you told me not to leave you?)

The warmth of his embrace still clearly remains in my body.

(And he almost kissed me ...)

It's kind of sad to think I'm the only one who remembers it.

Rina: ... Can you get up?

When I interrupted him to hide these feelings, Ivy-san nodded.

Ivy: I'm fine. Thanks to you, I'm much better. But I can't go on like this. I have to take a shower.

Rina: Well, I guess I'll be going now.

Ivy: Yeah, thanks for coming to wake me up.

Rising from bed, Ivy-san begins to get ready for the shower.

Ivy: ... And

Before leaving the room, he stopped at the door ... and turned around.

Ivy: When you said that you would stay by my side ... that made me so happy.

Rina: !

Ivy-san looks at me a little embarrassed.

Ivy: I remember. And it's not like I'm crazy or anything.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: Thank you, Hana-chan. ... I'm off.

Rina: Y-yes ...!

... Even after he left, I couldn't stop the intense beating of my heart.

His relationship with me used to be like brother and sister.

I sensed that this was indeed beginning to change ...

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Ivy: Thanks for your hard work, Kawanaga-san.

Rina: !?

I hear a voice coming from right beside me and turn around.

Rina: Oh, Ivy-san!

I was so close to Ivy-san all of a sudden that my body froze up.

Apparently, I had been so lost in thoughts that I didn't notice Ivy-san had come in.

Rina: W-welcome back.

Ivy: I'm home. I see you've already finished cleaning. What were you looking at?

Rina: Y-yes. That, uh ...

I was so taken by his neat beauty at close range that I could'nt speak.

(Too close ...!)

Perhaps sensing it, Ivy-san put some distance between us.

Ivy: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you so much.

Rina: It's okay. I'm sorry I didn't notice you.

(It's too rude to not notice that the owner of the room has returned ...!)

It's also embarrassing that I overreacted and acted suspiciously again.

Without noticing my situation, Ivy-san shifted his gaze to my hands and made a surprised sound.

Ivy: The one for our first anniversary?

Rina: Once I started looking, I couldn't stop reading.

Rina: I found it all fascinating ... I wanted to see exe on stage in person.

Rina: The interview between Ivy-san and the foreign band is also very interesting.

The article earnestly describes Ivy-san's enthusiasm for his exe activities.

Rina: You get along with the band leader about how difficult it is to bring a team together.

Ivy: Haha, you're right. It was quite informative to hear about his experiences.

Ivy-san looked down at the article with nostalgia.

Ivy: I had to keep everyone together, and it was pretty overwhelming at the time.

Ivy: The exe members are very strong-willed, and at that time we had just made our debut, so we were all even more self-driven than we are now ...

Ivy: He was like "yes, yes. This happened to me once. I miss it."

Ivy-san flips through the pages of the magazine.

(You have kind eyes ...)

I guess he's a person who doesn't feel hardship in putting his heart and soul into helping his team.

In fact, he even somewhat seems happy.

Rina: You're kind of like an older brother.

Ivy: Me?

Rina: Yes. I feel like you take good care of me and you're always looking out for the other members.

Ivy: Well, I'm the oldest.

Ivy: Actually, I really do have a younger sister as well. Maybe that's why.

Rina: Really?

(He fits the image perfectly. I bet he's a kind brother.)

And when we were talking about it ...

Sakura Eito: Ivy, are you in? I'd like to have a meeting about your upcoming performance with Gem.

After knocking, it was Sakura-san and the members of Gem Cuddle who entered the room.

Hitaki: Hmm? I think you're the one from the other day ...

Nagi: You seriously moved in?

Miu: Heh, wow.

Rina: I look forward to working with you.

Miu: I don't care about that! I heard it, Ivy-san!

Hitaki: i heard that you are going to distribute your song "exe" worldwide at the upcoming M-fest.

Nagi: That's a hell of a special treat, isn't it?

Miu: It's not fair even though we are in the same office. I wish you would do the same for us, Eito-san!

Sakura Eito: Don't be unreasonable, it's just like that.

Rina: Um, what is global distribution?

Ivy: Actually ...

... they're now working on a music program to distribute exe's stage to the world.

We were also told that exe would distribute the video on its official website and through video distribution services.

(I say this lightly, but worldwide distribution is awasome ...)

Sakura Eito: We're short on staff because of the short notice, so we're trying to get people together as quickly as possible.

Ivy: Hey, Eito, how about having her help you?

Rina: Eh!

Surprised by the suddenness of the situation, Ivy-san turned to me with a serious look on his face.

Ivy: If you want to get to know exe, I think it's a great opportunity to get involved as a staff member.

Ivy: Besides, didn't you just say you wanted to see us live?

Rina: Thank you for consideration.

Ivy: I don't need any thanks, I just thought it would be better that way.

Sakura Eito: I'd be grateful for that. I was originally planning to have Kawanaga-chan help me in the office as well.

This is a precious apportunity that Ivy-san gave me. There's no way to pass it up.

Rina: Thank you!

Sakura Eito: Okay, it's settled.

Ivy: Good luck.

Rina: Yes!

Then Miu-san, who had been watching us, interrupted us.

Miu: Is that really okay? Everyone at a live concert is always in a panic.

Miu: She's kind of vague, and I'm worried she won't be able to keep up with the groove of the scene.

Rina: !

(Does that mean I seem dull?)

Ivy: Miu, you're being disrepectful to her.

Miu: Oh, sorry. It's not that you can't do your job.

Miu: The clothes aren't very bright, but they seem to be easy to move around in. I think it's really great, just like the staff!

His words pierced my heart.

(It's not so bright ...)

Rina: I will do my best not to fail.

Rina: I already cleaned up, so I'm going to gow now ...

I managed to push the words out of my mouth and left the room as if to escape.

Ivy: Ah, Kawanaga-san ...!

Rina: Hah ...

(Dull, huh? Sure, I'm wearing comfortable cleaning clothes right now.)

(This is no time to be depressed. I just got the job!)

I was once again fired up to do my best to help with the distribution.

A few days later, the day of the the music show arrived.

(A large venue.)

They're going to have a live concert here today, and they're going to broadcast it on their music program.

As a member of the office staff, I ran around as directed.

Staff 1: Camera check complete. Intercom sensitivity is good.

Staff 1: Okay, everything is ready for distribution. Can you please tell Sakura-san?

Rina: Okay!

When i went to Sakura-san and the other members on the side of the stage ...

Finn: Why not? It's definitely better that way.

Xeno: There is no way they would approve such an abrupt change.

(What's going on?)

Sakura Eito: Hm? Kawanaga-chan, whyt's wrong?

Rina: I'm here to tell you that we're ready for distribution. Is there something wrong?

Ivy: Yeah, a little trouble.

Finn: I just suggested we change the choreography.

Finn: I wanted to create a highlight for each member, with an improvised solo part in between.

Hugh: It's ... cool ...

Xeno: It would be impossible to make any changes after rehearsals are over. The production has already been completed.

Jace: Hmm, there's no need to change it now, is it?

Sakura Eito: I agree. It's too risky.

Finn: We can handle it, can't we? It's better to change it!

Xeno: We can't let your ideas destroy the stage.

Finn: Dou you think I'm just saying that without reason?

(What should I do ... in such a nasty atmosphere before the show.)

That's what I'm thinking ...

Ivy: You two need to calm down a little.

Ivy-san tried to appease the two.

Ivy: Finn knows it's hard to make big changes now.

Ivy: But still, Finn must have a reason to propose his idea at this time.

Finn: Oh! Because it's a different stage today, isn't it?

Ivy: I mean, it's a special stage, you want to make it a little more exciting?

Finn: Yes! I came to this venue, I felt the athmosphere ... and I thought ...

Finn: If it's a special one-time distribution, we want to give a special performance, don't we?

Finn: Fans from all over the world will see it at the same time. That's definitely going to make them happy.

Jace: Oh, to please the fans? Is that what this is all about?

Xeno: Special performance for fans, huh?

Ivy: I agree with Finn, it would be more special if we had more to showcase.

Xeno: That's true, but it would throw the whole structure off.

Ivy: Yeah, so here's a suggestion ...

It was a good balance of including a solo part and incorporating Finn-san's suggestions, while still maintaining the overall direction.

Finn: Not bad.

Hugh: Sounds interesting ...

Jace: I like it.

Xeno: With that format, the stage will have a special feel. Disturbances in the production are tolerable.

Ivy: Okay, let's go with that.

Finn: Okay! Sorry Ivy. Thank you for explaining it so well.

Ivy: Okay, that's all.

Ivy: Okay, it's decided, we'll go through it once to make sure it's right. We don't have much time left before the show. Let's go for it!

Ivy-san claps his hands and the members of exe immediately started moving.

Sakura Eito: Looks like you'll be fine. As expected of Ivy.

Rina: That's great.

Perhaps noticing my respectful gaze, Ivy-san turns to me.

Ivy: Good luck to you too.

Rina: Y-yes. I'm sure you'll do well on the show!

Ivy: Thank you.

Rina: !

He smiled at me, and my heart thudded.

The way they dressed up in their stage costumes and left the venue so quickly was truly the essence of a super idol.

Ivy-san instantly understood what Finn-san was thinking.

The fact that he communicated this to everyone and created an atmosphere for discussion is a testament to his understanding of the members.

(Even the irritated members were listening to what Ivy-san had to say. That's what a leader should do.)

(And on top of that, he cares about me ... I can see why everyone is a fan. You really are a wonderful person.)

(Okay! I'll get to work too!)

When I returned to work and told the staff that there had been a change in the choreography, they seemed a little confused.

Staff 1: Solo? I can't put it all on the stream.

Staff 2: It's a shame.

I hear such blurbs.

(Certainly, you want to take a closer look at each person's highlight. If that's the case ...)

Rina: Um, do you have a spare camera?

Staff 1: I've got one. What about it?

Rina: I have suggestion ...

The show finally began, despite all of this.

Audience: Kyaaa!

Rina: ...ng!

Seeing exe live on stage for the first time, I was overwhelmed.

(Awesome ...!)

The singing and dancing were flawless. I can't believe there was a last minute change.

In the frenzied atmosphere, my gaze was naturally drawn to Ivy-san.

Ivy-san's dancing and singing are not outstanding among the exe members ...

(Even so, the level is quite high, even an amateur can tell.)

His presence seems to keep the members, who tend to run when the mood strikes them, in good harmony.

(It's just like a balancer ...)

Above all, all of his songs fit exe better than ever.

(He is an amazing person who can perform so well and write songs on top of it.)

I was so impressed again ...

Ivy-san's figure shines like an idol. However--

(I think the expression on Ivy-san's face is different from just now.)

I felt a sense of discomfort, as if his smile wasn't the gentle, reassuring smile he often shows people.

The concert ended with great excitement.

And--

I would recall this feeling of discomfort many times as I got to know him better.

Ivy Chapter 19 Normal Attire Story

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Ivy-san, who was more upset than I had ever seen him, continued to hold me tight, but ...

Ivy: ... It's all right now.

Eventually, with a wry smile, he let go of my body.

Ivy: I'm sorry I'm so distraught. You were the one who had a hard time, but I can't be like this.

Rina: No way ... I'm glad you're worried about me.

Ivy: It's a relief to hear you say that.

Ivy: ... I won't let him get close to you, and from now on, I'll protect you.

Rina: Thank you very much. Ivy-san ...

His gentle smile finally brought relief to my heart.

... At the same time, I felt something strange in my body.

(Somehow it feels strange.)

Ivy: ... What's wrong?

Rina: I felt relieved ... but now I feel a little feverish.

When Ivy-san heard this, his expression clouded.

Ivy: That's terrible. It may be because of everything that's happened.

Ivy: You'd better go to bed. I'll get you something to drink. In the meantime, you can change your clothes.

With these words, he hurried out of the room.

Meanwhile, I change into my pajamas and go back to bed.

Within a short time, he returned with a plastic bowl, water bottles, and towels in his hands.

Ivy: I'm back. I see you've changed your clothes.

Ivy: Here, take a sports drink.

Rina: Thank you very much.

I received a plastic bottle that he had brought for me, and was grateful to drink from it.

The cool, sweet moisture seemed to seep into even the most strained heart.

Rina: ... It's delicious.

Seeing me let out an involuntary sigh, Ivy-san smiled.

Ivy: I'm glad. You'd better make sure you drink enough water.

Ivy: Now, lie down properly afterwards.

He gently pats me on the head and lays me down on the bed.

Ivy: How's the fever?

With that, his face came closer and our foreheads were pressed together.

Rina: ...

I forgot to breathe as I stared at the well-shaped face at close range.

Ivy: ... You're still feverish. That must be why you feel so tired.

Rina: Y-yes ...

Ivy-san said in a concerned voice, but I didn't have time to worry about that.

(Because ... he's so close.)

My heart was beating wildly and my face was getting even hotter ...

Ivy: You need to take it easy today and go to bed.

Ivy: Don't worry. I'll be there for you so that you won't be lonely.

Rina: I'm glad you're here, Ivy-san ... but I'm not a child, okay?

Ivy: Of course, I understand.

Ivy: Come on, you need to lie down now.

Rina: Okay ...

After that, he continued to take care of me ... wiping my sweat, placing wet towels on my forehead and so on.

In the past, I might have felt depressed that I was being treated like a sister again.

But now I know that he's thinking of me from the bottom of his heart ...

(I'm glad Ivy-san is taking care of me.)

The fever and the exchange with Yamauchi-san earlier may have taken a toll on me.

And then ... my head was being stroked by a gentle hand.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

A little later ...

Hitaki: Oh, Ivy-san?

Hitaki stops Ivy as he comes out of Rina's room.

Hitaki: I was told this is her room, right? You were a little noisy just now. What happened?

Ivy: Oh, she has been feeling a little under the weather, so I've been taking care of her.

Ivy didn't elaborate on the details of the situation.

Hitaki: Oh? I'm worried about her. I think I'll go visit her later.

Ivy: She doesn't need it. ... She has me, so it's okay.

Hitaki gazed at Ivy, who smiled at him with the face of a dependable leader as usual.

Hitaki: ... Is that so? Well, that's all right.

Ivy: Yeah. ... Okay, then.

As he was about to leave ... Ivy suddenly stopped.

Ivy: I remember you telling me before, Hitaki.

Hitaki: Huh?

Ivy: "Sometimes the most precious things that we take for granted can suddenly disappear one day."

Ivy: You were right. I knew exactly what you meant. ... No, I knew it, but I forgot.

Ivy: ... I hope I never have to go through that again. Don't let anything precious be lost ...

Ivy: I have to make sure to protect her properly.*

Hitaki: ... What are you talking about?

Ivy: No, I was talking to myself ... Well then. Good night.

Hitaki: Eeh ...

Ivy quickly returned to his 'normal smile' and turned away from Hitaki.

Hitaki: ...

... Hitaki stared at him as he left with light steps.

Note: Do I even have to tell you that Ivy said this with dead eyes?

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

Ivy-san took me out for an evening walk.

Rina: At this time of night, it's quiet and empty.

Ivy: Yeah. I cannot walk around during the day, but it's pretty safe to walk around openly at night.

Ivy: Sometimes when I get stuck in the songwriting process, I just go for a walk to get away from it all.

Rina: I see.

Ivy: I'm sorry you had to come out so late at night.

Rina: I'm fine. It's nice to be able to talk to you slowly like this.

When I told him how I honestely felt, he smiled, as if relieved.

Ivy: That's very kind of you to say.

... He looked the same as usual, but his face showed signs of fatigue.

(I know you must have a really hard time composing music, ... and I hope I can help you refresh yourself a little.)

... I was brought to a park at night where it was quiet and still.

Ivy: Let's take a break.

Rina: Okay.

As we sit on the bench, the cool night air surrounds us.

Ivy: ...

Exhaling deeply, Ivy-san looks up at the night sky.

Ivy: It's nice to be in a quiet place like this.

Ivy: I feel a little lighter now that the clutter in my head is organized.

Ivy: That's why I always come alone when I'm stuck or need to collect my thoughts.

Rina: ... I understand that this is an important time for you, Ivy-san.

Rina: I'm with you now, is that okay?

Ivy: Of course. You're special, so it's fine.

Rina: ...

The word 'special' was casually uttered, and my heart was grabbed by the words.

(What does that mean ...?)

I want to ask that, but I don't have the courage.

I was thrilled to see Ivy-san ... and noticed that he was staring at me.

Rina: Ivy-san?

Ivy: ... Earlier, you were having dinner with the members, right?

Rina: Umm ...

(It must stay a secret that we were talking about Ivy-san ...)

Rina: Yes, that's right. I happened to meet them in the dining room, and that's how it all started ...

Ivy: ... Oh, I see.

He seemed to want to say something, even as he consoled himself.

(What is going on? ... Ah! Maybe ...)

Rina: I'm sorry, I ate some of Ivy-san's food.

(Was it rude of me to just eat it just because the others said it'd be okay ...?)

Ivy: Oh no. Don't worry about that. I've eaten at the studio.

Ivy: No, it's not that ... it's just that you've become so good friends with them without even knowing it.

Ivy: They seemed to be enjoying themselves just now ... and they seem to approve of you even though they have their own quirks.

Ivy: ... I'm sure they noticed the good things about you, too.

(Is that so? I certainly feel more accepted than before.)

Rina: If that's the case ... it was Ivy-san who gave me the opportunity to become friends with you all.

Rina: Really, thank you very much.

Ivy: I see. ... Yeah, that's good.

Ivy: ...

He isn't happy while saying so.

Rina: ... What's wrong?

Ivy: No, ... it's just.

(As expected, the atmosphere is different than usual ... Maybe it's because you're stuck at work and tired?)

Rina: Are you okay? Let me know if there's anything I can do.

I say this with the sole intention of healing Ivy-san.

Ivy: ... then, I guess I can spoil you.

Rina: Ah ...

He reaches out his hand and pats my head.

(Now, that I think about it, I promised you earlier that you could stroke my head when you're tired ...)

I was thrilled by the gentle touch and surrendered myself to his hand.

Ivy: ... I feel at ease when I touch you.

Ivy: It's like my head was in a jumbled mess.

Rina: Are your songwriting sessions not going so well?

Ivy: ... Well, I'm disappointed.

Rina: Ivy-san ... don't be too hard on yourself.

I'm an amateur when it comes to music, but I can say this with certainty.

Rina: I like the songs you write, no matter what anyone says.

Rina: Of course, I love the songs from R2R, too. I thought they were really wonderful.

Ivy: ... Thank you, Rina-chan. I guess it's because of your words that I feel so happy ...

After staring at the hand that was stroking my head, Ivy-san looked up and smiled at me.

Ivy: ... I think I'm okay now.

Ivy: I'm glad you and I were able to come here together. I feel so much better.

Ivy: I was a little nervous when I saw you with the others earlier ... as well as about the songwriting.

Rina: Eh?

Ivy: And now, thanks to your touch, that's no longer the case.

... These words, said so casually, made my heart flutter.

(Is that jealousy? Could it be that Ivy-san is telling me ...?)

Ivy: I think, we'd better go home. Thank you for your company.

Rina: Yes ...

Ivy-san gets up and starts to walk away.

I desperately told myself as I followed him.

(... That's not true. Don't get your hopes up. He's a super idol and his position is too different from mine.)

(Even if you really fall in love, it's not going to work out ...)

... My heart was aching sweetly.

Ivy Chapter 12

Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

The day after the show. When I arrived at work, the curious stares of the employees were waiting for me.

Female Employee 1: I wonder why she was invited to Cher d'Ou Miti yesterday.

Female Employee 2: Who invited her? Is there some kind of mistake?

I hear voices whipering things like these.

(I don't feel comfortable, but I left the place like that way, so I guess it's all right ...)

It's 'business as usual' if you just whisper things like that ...

Rina: Good morning, Yamauchi-san.

Yamauchi Kota: Ah, umm, morning ...

He turns around and slips away.

(I wonder what's going on? I declined the invitation to dinner ... but I feel like that's too curt.)

And then. A message arrived on my phone. I gasped at the name of the person on the display.

(Ivy-san!)

We exchanged contact information last night and he messaged me as soon as possible.

I was thrilled and opened my messaging app.

On the way home from work that day.

Rina: Ivy-san! Sorry to keep you waiting.

When I went to the recording studio, I was greeted by Ivy-san with a big smile on his face.

Ivy: Thank you for your hard work, Kawanaga-san. I'm sorry for having you come all the way back from work to get the materials.

Rina: It's okay. I can stop by here after work. Besides ...

Ivy: Hm?

Rina: Ah, no, it's nothing.

(... I'm so happy to have received your message and to be able to meet you like this ...)

(As expected, I'm too embarrassed to tell you.)

I want to hide my feelings of love, but when Ivy-san stares at me, I feel like speaking out my honest feelings.

(I have to be careful ...)

Rina: Um, by the way ... have you been working here all day?

Ivy: I had a shoot in the morning, but then I was holed up in here for the rest of the day.

Ivy: Actually ... the new song isn't finished yet.

Ivy: We suddenly changed the melody line, so about half of it had to be remade.

Rina: That sounds like a lot of work ... I'm impressed that you can handle it, Ivy-san.

Ivy: It's not as much of an accomplishment as it sounds. I'm sure it happens to everyone who composes music.

Ivy: Trends change quickly these days, so we have to be sensitive to them.

(So you're saying you're going to watch what's going on in the world and respond flexibly? That's really pro ...)

I respect him, but I also worry about him.

Rina: So are you going to be here all night again tonight?

Ivy: No, I'll be home before the date changes. Tomorrow, I have a lesson at seven.

Ivy: Ah, if you don't mind, would you like to have dinner with me? I want to take a little break.

Rina: Are you sure?

Ivy: Ah, I'm sorry, but if you could wait just a little bit ...

... when we were talking about those things, someone came into the studio.

Sakura Eito: ... Ivy, you here?

Sakura-san and an unknown middle-aged man entered the room.

Arai Takeshi: It's been a while.

Ivy-san's eyes widened and his body stiffened.

Ivy: Arai-san ... why are you here?

Arai Takeshi: Why don't you just say hello? Shouldn't you come and see an old friend?

Ivy: It's not like that. I was just surprised because it came so suddenly.

Arai Takeshi: Don't worry about the details. I'm going to have a drink with Eito now. You should come too.

Arai Takeshi: Let's have a good old talk after all these years.

Sakura Eito: I told him no because you are busy, Ivy, but he insisted ...

Ivy: ... as usual.

The pushy man makes Ivy and Sakura let out a sigh.

(What kind of relationship do they have?)

I couldn't keep up with the conversation, and I was at a loss.

Ivy: ... Kawanaga-san, sorry. Can we have dinner some other time? I'm really sorry I just asked you out.

Rina: Yes, of course.

Following Ivy-san's gaze, the man turned towards me the first time.

Arai Takeshi: Who's this girl?

I flinch for a moment at the gleam in his eyes.

Rina: Um, I'm ...

Ivy: She's a staff member in our office, and she's my support. She helps me with my work.

Ivy-san, who intervened, answered that.

Arai Takeshi: Heh, a staff who supports. Then you should come with us.

Rina: Eh!?

Sakura Eito: Wait a minute. Why would you ...?

Ivy: This has nothing to do with her.

Arai Takeshi: The more people, the more exciting it will be. Besides, if you're a member of the office staff, how can you say she's not involved?

Arai Takeshi: Come on, let's get out of here!

... In the end, he didn't listen to us at all and forced us out.

At the club we were brought to, the man ... Arai-san called out to the staff.

We were immediately ushered into the VIP room and champagne was brought to us.

Arai Takeshi: I used to come here with you guys. Remember?

Sakura Eito: Of course, I remember.

Arai-san is from the entertainment agency 'Egret' and was a producer when the two of them were R2R.

(That's why he has known Ivy-san and Sakura-san for so long.)

(But he's a bit of a quirky person. I'd say he's trying to be bossy ...)

While Arai-san is smiling broadly, Ivy-san and Sakura-san seem to be treating him in a matter-of-fact matter.

Arai Takeshi: I was surprised when they suddenly announced they were breaking up R2R, given how popular it was.

Arai Takeshi: And I was even more surprised that Eito later went out out on his own and set up his own entertainment agency.

Arai Takeshi: I thought it would go under soon anyway, but I didn't realize how big exe would get until this. That's a big deal!

Sakura Eito: Yes, thanks to you.

Arai Takeshi: But I didn't expect you to take Ivy with you.

Arai Takeshi: Are you all right? I hope you're not having Eito take care of you again like you did in the past.

Arai Takeshi: If you had stuck to your guns, R2R could have been higher even back then.

(Please don't say it like that ...)

I was appalled by the horrible words. But Ivy-san ...

Ivy: ... Yeah, you are right.

I just listen quietly.

Arai Takeshi: I don't know how Eito got the nerve to put Ivy in exe.

Sakura Eito: His ability is certain. He used to do well in the past, too.

Arai Takeshi: Not as much as you did.

... Arai-san then went on to say many things about the old Ivy-san.

Arai Takeshi: All of the songs that Ivy wrote were for japanese youths. They're not suitable for the world.

Arai Takeshi: That's probably why R2R didn't sell well overseas

Sakura Eito: I had the same lack of ability. So now I'm making use of my experience.

Ivy: ...

Sakura-san and Ivy-san were adults.

Sakura-san also has a history of starting a competing company independently from his office.

That's why, considering the horizontal connections in the industry, he may not be able to retort strongly.

(Even so, this is terrible ...)

Ivy: ...

Ivy-san is listening silently, but his expression is getting darker and darker.

Arai Takeshi: All of the songs of exe are just a bunch of frivolous melodies that are all about trends.

Arai Takeshi: The load is too much for Ivy.

... As soon as I heard those words, a feeling that welled up from deep within my chest pushed the words out of my mouth.

Rina: That's not ... true.

Ivy: !

Rina: I think the songs you write are wonderful, even back in the R2R days.

Rina: We need Ivy-san and the songs he writes for exe.

I said strongly, and all three of them looked at me in surprise.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san ...

Arai Takeshi: What? You're just a staff member, and you're back-talking to me?

Rina: ... I-I' sorry, but ...

(I'm scared ... But, I don't want to deny what I just said.)

Sakura Eito: Well, well. Don't be so angry with her.

Arai Takeshi: Eito, how are you training your staff?

Sakura Eito: I'm sorry. She's a new staff member.

Arai Takeshi: It's hot ... I don't feel well. I need another drink.

Arai-san grumbled and place a shot glass in front of me as he ordered tequila from the staff.

Rina: !?

Arai Takeshi: Drink.

Arai-san stares at me and pours out a lapping of highly aromatic sake.

(I'm so angry ... What should I do, I might collapse if I drink this stuff.)

Rina: I-I'm sorry ... I'm not much of a drinker.

Arai Takeshi: Just drink. Or can't the staff at Aerolight Productions drink my booze?

Sakaru Eito: Arai-san, that's a bit ...

(Oh no. If I refuse, will it cause a stir in the office?)

It is unreasonable but it is undeniable considering how forceful Arai-san is.

Rina: ... Okay.

I was ready to reach for my glass ... but Ivy-san stopped me. I was too late.

Ivy: You don't have to do that.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

He turns to Arai-san as if to defend me and firmly states.

Ivy: Please don't get involved with her. Forcing her to drink alcohol like that is a bit of an anachronism.

He seemed surprised not only at me but also at Arai-san's completely different tone from the one he had been quietly listening to.

Arai Takeshi: It's rare to hear you speak so harshly.

Ivy: She's my support. I can't just stand by and watch.

Sakura Eito: I would like to ask you to do the same. It would be terrible if that girl falls over.

Arai Takeshi: You must have a lot of love for your staff.

Arai Takeshi: Well, that's fine. If you insist so much, you drink instead.

Ivy: I understand.

As soon as he said that, Ivy-san picked up the shot glass that was placed in front of me and drank it all up at once.

Ivy: ... Are you satisfied now?

Arai Takeshi: That's a good drink!

Laughing, Arai-san poured drink after drink in Ivy-san's shot glass.

Ivy-san drinks it all up as he is made to do ...

Sakura Eito: Arai-san, you are indeed reckless. I'll drink it for you.

Ivy: Eito is not good with alcohol, so don't push yourself. I'll be fine.

Ivy-san dismisses Sakura-san's words of concern.

Rina: Ivy-san, that's enough. I'll take it.

I said that and tried to touch the glass.

Ivy: No way.

Ivy-san took it away from me and I couldn't get to it.

Arai Takeshi: Drink more!

Ivy: I know.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

I had no choice but to watch him as he silently piled up the cups, feeling sorry and worried.

... and after a while.

Ivy: Nng ...

After emptying more than 20 shots, Ivy-san was completely drunk.

Rina: Get a grip!

Arai Takeshi: Oh, he's so pathetic.

Sakura Eito: ... indeed he can't go any further, I think Ivy should go home now.

Arai Takeshi: That's boring. I haven't had enough to drink.

Sakura Eito: I'll go out with you.

Arai Takeshi: Well, that's okay.

Sakura-san tells me in a whisper.

Sakura Eito: I'll call a car right away, and you go home with him, Kawanaga-chan.

Sakura Eito: ... Take care of Ivy. I'll hold him back.

Sakura-san looks at Ivy-san and me with a concerned gaze.

Rina: ... Understood.

That was all I could say.

Ivy: ...

(Sorry. It's my fault this happened ...)

My heart aches for Ivy-san, who is so drunk that he can hardly stand and is almost asleep.

(Why does Ivy-san have to say things like that?)

... Biting back my frustration, I supported Ivy-san and got into the care that Sakura-san had arranged for us.

Ivy Chapter 10

... A few days after the incident with Hitaki-san.

After I finish cleaning, I pat my chest in relief that Ivy-san has not yet returned.

(Hurry up and go back to your room.)

But when I put my tools away ...

Jace: Aegis-chan. I'm home~

Hugh: ... I'm ... home

Rina: Ah ...

I ran into the three of them when they got home.

Ivy: Hey, Kawanaga-san.

Rina: ... Welcome back, everyone. Umm, I'm done cleaning for the day.

... I look away and tell them so.

Since that night, I tried to avoid seeing Ivy-san as much as possible.

(It's unnatural but ... impossible to be normal after being seen in a situation like that.)

(I don't know if Ivy-san, who treats me as a little sister, would mind, but ...)

That thought made my heart sink even more, and I didn't know what kind of face to put on.

Rina: I'll leave you to it ... excuse me.

Ivy: Yeah ... thanks for your help.

I walked through the side and returned to my room.

Jace: Oh my, you were strangely distant.

Hugh: She was in a hurry ...

Jace: Ivy, what's up with that girl?

Ivy: No ... nothing.

Ivy: ...

Then one day.

In the morning, the department was noisy, and I heard that there was an Essence show or something going on in Tokyo.

They were the team in charge of the perfume project and were going to visit the event to say hello.

Mori Eiko: Maybe I can make up for my presentation debacle!

Mori-san and the others were very enthusiastic. I was, of course, told to stay at home.

Yamauchi Kota: Don't say that, Kawanaga-san, you're part of the team.

With Yamauchi-san's follow-up, I was able to accompany him as a record keeper.

(Essance show ... I have to keep a record of it.)

At the end of the day, we headed to the venue of the show.

... there was an unbelievably glittering world.

Waiting for the show to start, the participants were all Hollywood actors, top artists, and other very famous celebrities from various industries.

I was completely overwhelmed by the aura that the world-class Essence show exuded.

In midst of all this. Suddenly, one part of the venue began to rustle. I looked to see what was going on.

(Oh ...!)

Ivy-san, Xeno-san and Finn-san were there.

Female Employee 1: Is exe here too!?

Mori Eiko: I think the Essence side invited them. You know, it looks like an employee of Essence is attending the meeting.

The celebrities in the audience were also excited by the appearance of exe.

The three of them were magnificent as they addressed the people who gathered to greet them.

(... come to think of it, I haven't heard about Ivy-san's work schedule lately. I used to have a good grasp of it.)

This was all because I had not been talking to him properly recently.

(This is not how it's supposed to work ...)

... when I was thinking that. Suddenly I felt a gaze.

Ivy: ...

(What? Ivy-san is looking at me?)

The moment he feels our eyes meet, he immediately turned away.

He turned to the person who spoke to him and began to respond with a smile.

(I guess it was just imagination ...)

As I was twisting my neck, Mori-san let out a small gasp.

Mori Eiko: The person Ivy-san is talking to right now is a Corsa employee! I've seen them before, that's for sure!

Corsa Agency is the largest advertising agency in Japan and is considered the most promising candidate for the perfume conveyor belt.

Mori Eiko: We can't lose! We're going to say hello too.

Led by Mori-san, who was full of fighting spirit, we approached the three members of exe.

We managed to get a chance to talk to them through an Essence employee who was on their side.

Mori Eiko: Excuse me. Exe, may I have a moment?

Finn: Hm?

Finn-san turns to us and is suprised to see me.

Finn: What? Why are you here?

(Finn-san!? You knowing me is a secret ...!)

(W-what should I do!? Ivy-san ...!)

Their eyes met, and he silently stepped in front of the members.

Ivy: Hello. We met you at a presentation. I believe the company is ...

Mori Eiko: We're from Aegis Puplic Holdings.

Thanks to Ivy-san's follow-up, Mori-san didn't seem to think it strange.

Finn: ...

Finn-san looks a little embarrassed, as if to say 'Oh shit'.

Xeno-san stares at him with a sideways glance.

(As expected of Ivy-san ...)

Relieved, I look at him with gratitude.

Ivy: ...

But Ivy-san doesn't even look at me anymore.

Mori Eiko: Thank you very much for the presentation at our company. I would like to say hello to you and your team.

Xeno: ... I see.

Ivy: I see. Thanks for coming all the way.

Mori Eiko: I am very sorry about the presentation. We were unfamiliar with the idea ...

Mori Eiko: I apologize for any discomfort this may have caused you.

Mori-san glanced at me.

(... she means I'm responsible.)

I cower.

Xeno-san seemed indifferent to Mori-san's words.

Ivy-san, who is usually so considerate of me, remained silent.

It was as if the fact that he made a follow-up for me was a lie, and the way he treated me was like that of a stranger.

(... I have no choice. It's a secret that I'm doing an extended presentation.)

I understand that their attitude is natural. And yet ... for some reason, my heart aches a little in my chest.

I'm thinking ...

Finn: Don't talk like that. Don't put all the responsibility on her.

Rina: !

I was surprised by Finn-san's statement defending me.

I'm happy, but I can't let the situation get out of hand. I bow my head hurriedly.

Rina: No, you're right. I am truly sorry.

Finn: But ...

Xeno: Stop it, Finn.

Finn: ... tsk, I get it.

With a look of reluctance, he withdrew.

(Finn-san, you have a gentle side, don't you?)

Ivy: ...

Mori-san continued to make eloquent speeches to recover her presentation.

Mori Eiko: ... If we are chosen, we will make sure to make something great!

Despite the passionate words, the three keep a cool face.

Xeno: We will handle the competition strictly, including the final decision on whether or not to accept the request.

Finn: We'll tell you the results soon, just wait and see.

Ivy: We'll be very thorough in our selection process.

That being said, I can't stay in here any longer.

Mori Eiko: ... Sorry to take up your time. Now then ...

Ivy: Yeah, thanks.

We rounded up our greetings and left the three alone.

Mori Eiko: If only I hadn't failed in my presentation, I wouldn't have had such a hard time.

Female Employee 1: Kawanaga-san, don't get carried away just because Finn-san covered for you.

Female Employee 2: It's your fault this happened.

Rina: ...

The words sharply pricked at me. But more than that, Ivy-san's curd attitude earlier weighed heavily on my heart.

Ivy: ...

Finn: Hey, what are you staring at?

Ivy: I thought I might have been a little too gentle with Kawanaga-san ...

Ivy: Look at that. She's very depressed ... Maybe people are saying things to her.

Finn: I'm sure of it. I wonder if they are always like that.

Finn: Because there are people everywhere who will always blame you for someone else's mistakes.

Ivy: ... I wish I could comfort her, but I can't.

Xeno: Don't be a fool. In this situation, you should always pretend that you're not involved.

Ivy: I know ...

I'm depressed abou Ivy-san and the coldness of all the employees.

Yamauchi Kota: Don't blame Kawanaga-san so much. You too, Kawanaga-san, don't worry too much about it.

After saying that, Yamauchi-san suddenly put his hand on my head. I froze at the suddenness of it.

(Eh ...!? W-what?)

Yamauchi Kota: I know how hard you've been working.

He stroked me gently. The way he was stroking me made me think of Ivy-san's face.

Rina: ... U-um, I'm sorry for bothering you.

I gently fend off his hand so as not to be rude.

(I need to be more persistent ...)

I changed my mind and decided to concentrate on my role as recorder.

Ivy: ...!

Xeno: Ivy, what are you so dazed about?

Ivy: Ah! Oh, no, it's nothing.

Finn: It's about to start. Let's go.

Ivy: Ah ...

--flashback--

Hitaki: … Sometimes the most precious things that we take for granted can suddenly disappear one day.

Hitaki: Please be careful.

--flashback end--

Ivy: ...

The show was a success.

Mori Eiko: I'm going straight home after this. Why don't we eat and go home?

Female Employee 1: Sounds good! There's a restaurant I'm interested in in Nogizaka ...

Mori-san and her colleagues are happily discussing the issue with each other. The names of the restaurants that come up are all popular upscale restaurants.

Mori Eiko: Come to think of it, there's a very exclusive members-only restaurant above this venue, too.

Female Employee 2: It's 'Cher d'Ou Miti', isn't it? I want to go there~

(That's a world far away from me.)

With this in mind, I looked around the area where the members of exe had been but saw no sign of them, as they seemed to have already left the room.

(Ivy-san ...)

The clerical exchange from earlier comes to mind again, and my heart aches.

(... no good. I can't believe I'm depressed just because he has been a little curt in a work setting.)

This is probably due to the fact that I have been avoiding him of late.

(I want to be natural like before, but what should I do?)

Mori Eiko: How about you, Kawanaga-san and Yamauchi-san?

We are surprised when we are suddenly approached.

(I've never been invited before. What the hell is going on ...?)

Rina: ... I'm sorry. I don't want to bother you.

I could never afford such an upscale restaurant. Puzzled, I said no.

Mori Eiko: Too bad. But expected.

(She's laughing ... Well, you knew I'd say no from the beginning.)

Yamauchi Kota: Then how about dinner with me? I'll pay for it.

Rina: What!? Oh no, I can't.

Yamauchi Kota: Don't say that. It will make you feel better.

(Is he trying to cheer me up, like what happened earlier?)

(But I'm not in the mood for that. I have cleaning to do ...)

Mori Eiko: Oh, no?

Female Employee 1: What a waste of an invitation.

Rina: No, it's really ...

At that moment, I was at a loss.

Staff: Excuse me. Is this Kawanaga Rina?

A well-dressed woman approached me.

Rina: Yes ...

Yamauchi Kota: What's the matter?

Staff: I am from Cher d'Ou Miti, and I am here to show you the way.

(Is that the high-end restaurant that Mori-san and the others were talking about earlier ...?)

Mori Eiko: W-what do you mean!? Why is Kawanaga-san invited there?

Rina: Um ... is there some kind of mistake?

Staff: No. ... It's a request from our side.

Rina: !

The name on the card she handed me took my breath away.

Rina: Good morning, Ivy-san.

Ivy: Good morning, Kawanaga-san. Good luck at work today.

Rina: Yesm good luck to you too, Ivy-san. I'm rooting for you.

Ivy: Thank you.

(I'm glad I got to talk to you this morning ...)

How much my casual conversation with him before work has helped me. I'm sure he has no idea.

Ever since I became aware of my feelings for him, my approach to work had changed.

Rina: Mori-san, please confirm this!

Mori Eiko: Already done? You're so fast ... Next, you can organize the data. Go ahead.

Rina: I understand. I will finish it right away.

Female Employee 1: ... I wonder if she cares that her contract is to be terminated?

Female Employee 2: Even it doesn't matter how hard she tries anymore.

(I don't care what they say anymore. I don't have time to be depressed.)

And in the housekeeping business ...

Rina: Ivy-san, I'm done cleaning up.

Ivy: Yeah, youcleaned up awfully well. Thanks for all your hard work.

Rina: Well then, I'll go back to my room and do my work.

Ivy: Oh. I know you must be tired, sorry. Take care of yourself.

Rina: I'll be fine. I'll take care of it.

At the end of the day, I go to my room to the computer and do research on Ivy-san's work.

(This level of business is nothing compared to Ivy-san's.)

Before, he was overstretched and spinning out of control, bur now he's able to focus on his respective tasks.

--flashback--

Ivy: Because I feel better when I pat you on the head.

Ivy: So I thought … you might feel better if you stroked my head …

--flashback end--

My heart tightens when I remember that shy face and the warmth of his embrace.

At the same time, I feel like power is coming up.

In order to support him and lighten his burden, I myself must be persistent.

(So now let's think about the job at hand rather than renewing my own contract.)

(Do the best you can to do what you have to do, whether at work or here.)

(That will surely lead to a successful presentation as well.)

With this in mind, I struggled.

And ... a few days later.

The opportunity has come to test my work ethic.

On this day, exe and Sakura-san gathered in the office for a meeting.

I was nervous as I helped prepare drinks for the members of the group.

(Finally ...)

Sakura Eito: Let's get started. We are here about a new job ...

Xeno: That's all well and good, but why are these three here?

Sakura Eito: They just happened to be at the office, and said they really wanted a tour.

Hitaki: I'm curious as how to exe who sells self-produced stuff decides what to do.

Finn: You're a sucker for things. What are you going to do when you see that?

Nagi: For Gem to surpass exe, we have to know how to work like exe.

Xeno: Gem and exe have very different ways of doing things. I don't see the logic behind this.

Jace: It's okay, right? It's not like it bothers me to be seen.

Miu: Oh yeah, that's fine. You don't say anything serious.

The members of Gem are unfazed by the bewilderment of exe.

(I can't believe you tried to force me to attend a senior team meeting.)

(The three members of Gem are very free-spirited, but Hitaki-san turned out to be a nice guy ...)

Hugh: Huh ... won't it start?

Ivy: Well, there's not much time left, so let's get started before Hugh will fall asleep.

Xeno: All right. We'll get right on it and check it out.

Sakura Eito: Okay. As usual, you have to choose which of the offers you're going to do ...

Ivy: Usually, I do the preliminary research, but this time Kawanaga-san did it for me.

All members except for Finn-san look at me in surprise.

Jace: Aegis-chan? I was wondering why you were here.

Hugh: ... Housekeeper-san, help?

Finn: Let's see if she can support Ivy properly.

Ivy: Then, Kawanaga-san. Can you do me a favor?

Rina: Yes! ... Now then, I will hand out the materials to you all.

(All right, I must do that properly.)

I handed out the documents I had prepared in advance and immediately began to explain.

Rina: I have compiled a survey of each of the offers that came to exe this time.

Rina: The first offer. It's a request for a PV collaboration with a world-renowned international artist, Armando-san.

Rina: The rewards are listed at an unbeatable price. AS for the contents ...

What kind of work is required? Is the schedule reasonable? Is there an approtiate balance between the fee and the work?

The client's reputation, the lineage of work they do elsewhere, the age group they support, the image they would give to exe and so on.

Every item is thoroughly researched and documented to the extent that it can be researched.

Finn: Maybe this one's not so good.

Jace: Yes. It's nothing for us.

(I was surprised at the difference in scale while researching because the offers that come to exe are all large projects.)

(But the method is basically the same. I was able to use the skills I had developed as an assistant at the company ...)

Hugh: This ... looks interesting ...

Xeno: THis promoter doesn't have a very good reputation.

Ivy: How about that, Kawanaga-san?

Rina: Here's a summary.

All were listening to my words with a serious expression on their faces.

Rina: ... I'd like to talk about the request to perform at the famous festival UMC in the UK.

Rina: This is probably the most important offer of all.

Xeno: One of the three biggest festivals in the world.

Hugh: ... Ah, I know this. Tried to dance.

Jace: But it seems to have oddly small paychecks.

Finn: It's not even half as good as some of the other festivals.

Rina: As you say, the disadvantages include low remuneration and the time commitment involved in overseas expeditions.

Rina: The advantage is that the festival itself has a high global profile, and the social contribution it makes is outstanding.

Rina: The festival operates under a unique philosophy.

Rina: They spend a lot of money on equipment and operations, and at the same time, they donate a lot of money to charity.

Ivy: I see. So that's why they pay their performers so little.

Rina: Yes. You can appeal to the world in terms of both musicality and social contribution, and you can expect to atrract more attention.

Rina: The performers are all well-known artists from the US and Europe every year. I think it will deepen your horizontial ties.

Sakura Eito: So it's a deal with both advantages and disadvantages.

... I ended my explanation with some other details.

Rina: ... Above are the results of the investigation.

(I did the best I could, but I don't know ...)

I nervously looked at all the members.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san, you're great. I can't believe you did such a thorough investigation!

It was Ivy-san who spoke up first.

Rina: R-really?

Jace: These materials are easy to read, too.

Hugh: Yeah ... easy to understand.

Xeno: The detailed examination of the client's philosophy is commendable. It made it easier for us to select the work.

Finn: Yeah, I guess so. You're pretty good, aren't you?

Sakura Eito: I was impressed, too. Kawanaga-chan seems to be suited for this kind of work.

Ivy: I'm glad I had your help!

Rina: Good ... I'm so relieved. I wanted to make you happy, Ivy-san.

Ivy: ... you worked so hard for me.

Ivy: Thank you so much, Kawanaga-san.

The smile on Ivy-san's face makes my heart beat with joy.

(I was able to be useful to this person ...!)

In addition, I hope that everyone from exe will recognize me and reward me for all the hard work I have put in.

Miu: Wow ... you're surprisingly good at your job.

At that moment, Miu-san and the others, who were watching the situation from the side, opened their mouths.

Miu: Hey, you can't just help exe, you have to help us with Gem.

Rina: Eh!?

(What are you talking about all of a sudden?)

Hitaki: I agree with Miu, Eito-san. Don't you think it's shame to let her use her power only for exe?

Hitaki: Her analytical and management skills will be of great help for Gem.

Nagi: Just be Gem's manager. We'll be bigger than exe someday. Can't hurt you, right?

Rina: W-well, if you put it that way ...

The members of exe didn't stay silent about this.

Finn: Hey, you guys, don't be selfish.

Jace: That's right. Aegis-chan belongs to us, so don't give up.

Hugh: I don't want Housekeeper-san ... to go away ...

Xeno: It's too much of stupidity to want this girl as soon as you find out she's capable.

Miu: It's the same for Xeno-san and the others.

(W-what should I do? Why is this happening!?)

Rina: Umm, I appreciate the sentiment, but ... I'm sorry. I decline.

Miu: Eh, why?

Nagi: Are you saying we're not satisfying?

Hitaki: I know you're in the position of wanting to make a successful presentation, so you'll have to stick to exe ...

Rina: I don't care about the presentation. I offered to help because I wanted to reduce the burden of Ivy-san.

(I want to help Ivy-san as much as I can. I can work as hard as I can for that.)

Rina: I want to continue to work for exe with Ivy-san.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san ...

Everyone in the room, not just Ivy-san, looked at me with surprised faces.

(Eh, why are you looking like that?)

Jace-san laughed amused.

Jace: You are very passionate. You two are in a relationship?

Rina: !

(Sheesh!)

Sakura Eito: Is that so? I don't want it to be scandalous, but ...

Rina: No, no, no, no, no. That's not what I meant ...!

(I don't know, Ivy-san might have thought I was weird ...)

I was so embarrassed and impatient that I couldn't think straight.

However, it was also Ivy-san who helped me out.

Ivy: We get along, sure, but it isn't like that.

Ivy: Kawanaga-san thinks of me like a big brother.

Ivy: For me, she's like a cute little sister.

Finn: Oh, that's what this is about?

Hugh: Ivy, onii-san ... understands.

Xeno: Don't do anything that could be detrimental to the team.

Ivy: I know. You don't have to worry about it. Right, Kawanaga-san?

Rina: Yes ...

(Good. He didn't think I was weird.)

I was relieved, but my heart ached a little in my chest.

(I'm completely treated like a little sister ...)

I knew that, but now that I'm aware of my feelings for him, it is a bit painful.

(... Enough. I can help the person I like.)

I suppress a prickling pain in my chest and tell myself so.

Miu: Hmmm ... that makes sense.

Hitaki: Fufu, this is interesting ...

... At that time, I was too busy dealing with my own emotions to notice their meaningful stares.

And I had no idea at the time that it would be the beginning of a major upheaval ...

--My first weekend in the apartment was a wild one.

(The concert, the launch, and the outing with Ivy-san. It was like an out-of-this-world event.)

Monday morning at daybreak. I get ready to go to work and enter the living room to see ...

All the members were there.

Rina: Good morning.

Ivy: Good morning, Kawanaga-san. You're going to the office now?

Rina: Yes. You all ...

Finn: We've just had a lesson.

Jace: It's been a hard morning of choreography, and I'm exhausted~

Xeno: What are you talking about? Don't make a sound like this.

Hugh: ... was fun.

Despite their slight banter, exe shows no signs of fatigue from practice or the recent concert.

(As on would expect from a company with such an overcrowded schedule.)

Ivy: Ah, Kawanaga-san.

Ivy: Eito told me that the weekend show and the official distribution of the show were very well received.

Ivy: There's a special feeling that's different from broadcasting a program.

Jace: This is Aegis-chan's accomplishment, isn't it?

Rina: No, not at all. It was because of your excellent performance.

Finn: Well, yes, but I think you did a good job.

Hugh: Dance was easy to see ...

Jace: Even Xeno recognized you.

Xeno: I just said it wasn't bad tact.

Rina: Oh, thank you very much, everyone ...!

The gazes of the members are warmer than when I first came here.

(This was thanks to Ivy-san's recommendation to help with the live show.)

When I looked up at him with gratitude, he noticed my gaze and smiled at me.

Ivy: I'm happy for you, Kawanaga-san.

Rina: Thanks!

(Ivy-san has helped me a lot since day one. He helped me yesterday and even gave me a present.)

(You're a real sweetheart ...)

Ivy: You did a great job. Be confident and keep up the good work.

Rina: Yes, thank you very much, Ivy-san.

(I've been encouraged so much. I'll work harder for my presentation!)

I got into the mood and left the apartment to go to work myself.

The atmosphere in the company remains the same.

Mori Eiko: Kawanaga-san, put this data together. We'll need it this afternoon, so hurry up.

A document is placed in front of me.

Female Employee 1: And this script too.

Female Employee 2: And get me the other items on the list.

Mori Eiko: You can do it, can't you? All you're doing is easy stuff.

Female Employee 1: You have to do a lot of things to buy your way out of responsibility.

The words of Mori-san and the others prick me to the core. In fact, I feel like their words are getting tougher and harsher every day.

And then ...

Yamauchi Kota: Oh, come on, you can't just leave it all up to her, can you?

Yamauchi-san, a male employee of the department who was standing nearby, intervened, perhaps unable to see the piles of materials.

Yamauchi Kota: Are you okay? I'm free right now. Let me help you.

Rina: Thank you, Yamauchi-san, but I'm fine.

Yamauchi Kota: Eh?

When I replied with a smile, Yamauchi-san, Mori-san and the others looked at me in surprise.

(I would've been depressed before ...)

What comes to mind are the words and smiles of Ivy-san.

--flashback--

Ivy: Good luck to you too.

--flashback end--

(I can't let this get me down!)

Rina: I'll put them together as soon as I can. Please wait a moment while I compile them.

Mori Eiko: I'm telling you, don't neglect your other work.

Rina: Of course. I'll have it done by the end of the day.

I set to work at a furious pace.

Mori Eiko: Something's off ...

I was so motivated that I didn't mind the coughing.

I was able to complete my work without overtime for the work I was assigned to do.

(Next is housekeeping. Let's do this job well too.)

Today, the exe members have their own jobs and have not yet returned home.

Only Sakura-san was home before me, but he seemed to have been locked in his room for work.

The cleaning was completed smoothly, the tools were put away, and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

(I'm done with work, I'll go to my room and look up exe ...)

That's what I think.

Hitaki: Hey, you're here too.

Hitaki-san from Gem appeared in the living room.

Rina: Hitaki-san, you're here.

Hitaki: I was in the training room until now because I finished work early.

Hitaki: By the way, I heard about M-fest. Apparently, you played a very active role as a staff member.

Rina: Ah no, no. I was just doing my job.

Hitaki: Eito-san also complimented you on how well it went.

Hitaki: I've never worked behind the scenes of a live before, but you did a great job.

Rina: T-thank you ...

Hitaki-san's straightforward compliment made me feel embarrassed but happy.

Hitaki: That was a little surprising. But also interesting ...

While staring at me, Hitaki-san caughed quietly to himself.

(Hm? What did he just say? I didn't quite catch it ...)

Hitaki: I've been meaning to apologize to you. I'm sorry about the other day. Miu was rude.

Hitaki: Dazed and distracted, dull ...

I think he is referring to the night when Ivy-san recoomended me to help with the distribution.

(Sure, Miu-san said some harsh things to me with a smile ...)

Rina: I don't care anymore. Besides, there's no need for you to apologize.

Hitaki: I'm the leader. If a team member does something, it's my responsibility.

Hitaki: I'll let them know that they won't say anything bad to you from now on.

Hitaki-san smiled calmly, as if to reassure me. I could see the sense of responsibility that comes with being a leader.

(Miu-san is a bit mysterious, and Nagi-san is a bit scary ... I thought Gem's members had strong habits.)

(But Hitaki-san might be a nice and kind person.)

Hitaki: You said you wanted to know more about exe. How was it seeing them live and up close?

Rina: Of course it was great! Everything was so powerful, the singing, the dancing, the direction, everything was outstanding ...

Rina: The performance was so outstanding that even an amateur like me could understand it.

Hitaki: I saw the video of the distribution, and I thought it was great, if a little frustrating for Gem.

(But ...)

What comes to mind is that strange feeling I had when I saw Ivy-san on stage.

(Yes, it was nice, but Ivy-san was different at that time.)

In a sense, it may be natural that their stage appearance is different from their everyday appearance.

But I think that feeling was different from that.

I don't know what it is, but it has always stuck with me.

Then, there was a flurry of footsteps.

Sakura Eito: Kawanaga-chan and Hitaki? That's a rare combination.

It was Sakura-san who appeared.

Hitaki: We ran into each other by chance and had a little chat.

Hitaki: What's going on, by the way? You seem upset.

Rina: What's wrong?

Sakura Eito: I had to confirm something with Ivy at work.

Sakura Eito: I need to see the paperwork by tomorrow but ... he'll be up all night in the recording studio tonight.

Sakura Eito: I thought I'd ask someone to deliver it to the studio for me.

Hitaki: I see. That's what you meant.

(Ivy-san, it must be tough to work all night.)

Sakura Eito: But at a time like this, none of the staff would catch on.

Sakura Eito: I don't have time to deliver it, and I was going to look for someone.

I called out to Sakura-san when I saw him in trouble.

Rina: Um, Sakura-san. If you don't mind ...

... a few dozen minutes later.

I was visiting the recording studio where Ivy-san was working on behalf of Sakura-san.

Ivy-san lowered his eyebrows, feeling sorry when he saw me working alone in the studio.

Ivy: Eito called me just now. I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Ivy: It's not at all nice of Eito to send you out here so late at night ...

Rina: No, I said I'd go.

Sakura-san was rather reluctant to take the risk because it was late at night, but in the end he said he'd take care of it.

(I bet he was really full of work.)

(And HItaki-san was also concerned and offered to accompany me.)

I was grateful, but declined, as I felt bad that he still had more training to.

Rina: It's not that far away, so it's okay. Beisdes ...

Rina: I was also curious to know how you were doing, Ivy-san. I was told it would take all night.

Ivy: Oh well ... thank you for your concern.

Ivy: I'm sorry but thank you for your help. Both Eito and I have a lot to do tonight.

Ivy: I think that's why I've been working so hard to get the job done.

Ivy-san laughed.

Rina: It sounds like a lot of work. Can I ask you what you were doing?

Ivy: Yeah, I was working on the next new song.

Rina: What already? You just released a new song a couple of weeks ago.

Ivy: Well, we might be the ones who have a quick release span, but we've got a lot of tie-ups.

Ivy: I can't help but match it.

(exe ... but that would be a lot of work. It's a constant songwriting process.)

Looking at the desk where Ivy-san was sitting, there were writing utensils, notebooks, music equipment, and other miscellaneous items on it.

It was as if I could see his struggle as a composer.

Rina: Ivy-san is terrific.

Ivy: Eh?

Rina: Not only is he an idol, he can also write such great songs.

Rina: The song you performed at the concert the other night is getting a lot of play.

Rina: I think it's really great to be recognized by so many people like that.

exe is, after all, a group of people each of whom has great abilities.

Seeing them live made me understand them better.

Rina: I'm looking forward to your next song.

Ivy: Thank you, Kawanaga-san.

Ivy: Next song too, huh?

He smiled ... but his smile was different.

Ivy-san ...? What's going on?

Somewhat tired and sad.

I gasped when I saw Ivy-san's shadow for the first time ...

Ivy Chapter 20

DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story.

The next morning ...

Ivy: Morning, Rina-chan.

Rina: Good morning, Ivy-san.

Rina: Thank you for last night. I feel much better thanks to your help.

Ivy: That's good. But don't push yourself too hard. ... Let's take you temperature first.

Ivy-san took my temperature with a thermometer he had brought with him.

(I don't feel feverish, I think it's going down already.)

Ivy: Hmm ... it's still a little high. You'll have to take a break from work then.

Rina: What?

(I'm not feeling sluggish or feverish ...)

But if Ivy-san, who measured my temperature, says so, then he must be right.

(And it's hard to see Yamauchi-san after what happened ...)

Rina: ... I understand. I'll take the day off.

Ivy: That's good. Oh, the termination date ... when is it?

Rina: This is my last week.

After hearing my answer, he smiled.

Ivy: I'll take care of that, too, together with the presentation result.

His smile is very encouraging in my eyes.

(If the result of the re-presentation is communicated, I won't have to quit Aegis once and for all ... I'm so glad.)

Rina: Thank you very much, Ivy-san.

Ivy: It's for your own good, of course.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked into my face.

Ivy: I'll take care of everything. You just stay here and rest like an adult today. Okay?

Rina: Y-yes ...

He gazed upon me sweetly from close up. ... When I answered with a nervous heartbeat, he smiled in satisfaction.

Ivy: Good girl.

Then, he kissed my forehead.

Rina: ! Ah, Ivy-san!?

Ivy: Hehe, sorry. I just thought you were so honest and cute. ... Well, it's time for me to go.

With a mischievous smile, Ivy-san left the room.

Rina: Hah ...

Ever since we got together, I have been at the mercy of Ivy-san's pace.

(But I don't mind at all. I want to know more of him ...)

Alone in the room, I let out a sweet sigh.

When I took my temperature at night, it had gone down completely.

(I think I could do the housekeeping job. With being in Macau recently, I haven't been able to clean properly.)

Then, while I was cleaning for the first time in a while ... Hitaki-san came in.

Hitaki: I heard you were in a bad shape, but you seem to be doing okay. Are you feeling better already?

With a smile, Hitaki-san pulled me closer to him.

... I remembered what he did to me before, and I couldn't help but be wary.

Hitaki: Have you thought about what we talked about before?

Rina: That's ...

Hitaki: I'm asking you to be my partner, both publicly and privately, exclusively for Gem.

Hitaki: I will treat you like a woman and not like a sister and never make you feel tired. That's what I said, right?

Hitaki-san almost hugged me again, and I hurriedly moved away.

Rina: I refuse. It's exe I want to support.

Rina: Besides, unlike back then, Ivy-san doesn't think of me as a little sister anymore.

Hitaki: Heh, he said that?

Rina: Yes. He told me that me and his sister were similar, so he was piling us on top of each other ... but now it's different.

I thought I had firmly rejected Hitaki-san's advances, but ...

Hitaki: ... I feel sorry for you.

And yet, he offered me a sympathetic smile.

Hitaki: You totally trusted him, got trapped ... and you were imprisoned.

Rina: ... What do you mean?

Hitaki: Ivy-san isn't who you think he is. He's a very scary person.

Rina: ...?

(I don't know what that means ...)

Rina: No, of course not. There's no one as kind as Ivy-san.

I remembered him shaking last night as he hugged me.

(How can someone who cares so much about me not be kind?)

Hitaki: He's kind, sure, but his kindness is an addictive that holds you, a bridge that keeps you in.

Rina: What are you talking about ...!?

Hitaki: Oh, and one more thing ... Ivy-san doesn't have a sister.

Rina: What ...?

(It can't be. Because ...)

Hitaki: You'll see. ... By then, it'll be too late.

After saying this, Hitaki-san left the room, leaving me confused.

(What in the world is going on ...?)

When I returned to my room with a hazy feeling, I saw a notification on my phone that I missed a message from Ivy-san.

[I'll be late for work tonight, so go ahead and get some rest. I'll check on you in the morning. Good night.]

I felt lonely, but at the same time, I felt a little relieved.

What did Hitaki-san mean when he said that?

... I went to sleep that night thinking about that.

... The next morning. As promised, Ivy-san came to my room.

Ivy: You still have a fever, so you'd better take the day off.

He took my temperature the same way he did yesterday and said so, but ...

(That's strange. I'm feeling fine now.)

... I felt a slight tug of war with my own senses.

Rina: I think there might be a mistake. I'll measure again myself.

I measured my temperature, and this time it was normal.

Rina: I think I'm okay after all. Here.

I showed Ivy-san the thermometer, but he just stared at it ...

Ivy: It's true. It looks like I misjudged earlier.

Yes, he smiled. His usual smile. There was nothing strange about his smile.

(... and yet it feels strange.)

... I turned away from it, feeling a faint sensation of discomfort.

Rina: Well ... I think I can make it to work.

Ivy: Yeah, you can. ... Be careful.

... I came to work with an unsettled mind.

As soon as I arrived at work, I headed for Mori-san's office.

Rina: I apologize for taking yesterday off.

When I apologized, Mori-san let out a sigh.

Mori Eiko: Suddenly feeling sick is a little too much of a distraction, isn't it?

Mori Eiko: Don't be discouraged just because your contract is about to be terminated. Just do your job responsibly until the very end.

Her words startled me. ... I noticed that the people around me were still looking coldly.

(The contract hasn't changed ... Have we received a response from the presentation yet?)

--flashback--

Ivy: I'll take care of that, too, together with the presentation result.

Ivy: I don't need any thanks. It's for you, my dear, so you deserve it.

--flashback end--

Ivy-san certainly said that.

Maybe they are still in the middle of talking, so it may take some time for the message to get across.

... I was thinking so, but slowly, I began to feel anxious.

--flashback--

Hitaki: Oh, and one more thing ... Ivy-san doesn't have a sister.

...

Ivy: It's true. It looks like I misjudged earlier.

--flashback end--

Memories of various scenes rushed through my mind along with the discomfort I have been looking away from ...

(... Essence just hasn't told us yet. I'm sure they haven't.)

(It's all in my mind. I believe you, Ivy-san ...)

As I was desperately trying to shake off my anxiety, the section manager entered the office.

Section Manager: Everyone, the results of the competition have arrived from Essence.

(Thank goodness! They just got the call!)

... But the next moment, I heard these incredible words.

Section Manager: Unfortunately, our presentation didn't go through. It seems the CM has been decided elsewhere.

Rina: !?

(Now, what ...?)

As if to break my confusion, the section manager further continued.

Section Manager: You, Kawanaga. Your contract expires this week, right? Make sure you finish up your work before you quit.

Rina: ... Uh, ... yes ...

... My mind went blank and I couldn't get anything done after that.

I returned home in a state of confusion and waited in Ivy-san's room for his return.

(There must be some mistake. There has to be.)

Ivy: Rina-chan, I'm home.

Rina: Ivy-san ...!

I asked Ivy-san about the presentation. I hoped he would drown out my fears, but ...

Ivy: Yeah, I turned down the presentation.

He said this matter-of-factly.

Rina: ... There's a reason for that, right? Ivy-san has his own ideas, and ...

Ivy: Of course. I knew you understood me after all.

HIs words add to my confusion.

Rina: Why ... Ivy-san, you told me I did well.

Ivy: Yeah, so I made it work.

Rina: ... What do you mean?

Ivy: You shouldn't be there.

Ivy-san said with his usual kind smile.

Ivy: A workplace with mean-spirited employees and dangerous men is not a good environment for you. You should quit.

Ivy: You don't have to be there to make the CM. Rather, you can make it under my direction.

Ivy: Then you'll be safe in the knowledge that I'm always there to help you if you need anything.

I can't get my head around his words.

Rina: I don't understand ... what you mean. Does it mean you're giving me a job at Aero under your supervision?

Ivy: No, not like that. Not at the office, but at my place.

(What are you talking about ...?)

Ivy: Your project has already received the okay from the members. If you go through an agency other than Aegis, there will be no problem.

Ivy: Why don't you join me as a director?

Rina: Oh no ...!

It has always been my dream to make a great CM at Aegis.

Ivy: ... Aren't you happy?

Perhaps not expecting my reaction, Ivy-san's face clouded over.

Ivy: Why? ... This is for your own good.

As soon as he said that, he hugged me tightly.*

Rina: ...!

I choked on the force of the pain.

Ivy: I don't want to lose anything important ever again ...

Ivy: When you were in danger, I was scared. ... I lost my sister in the same way.*

Rina: !

Rina: Lost ...? What do you mean? You said your sister is about my age ...*

Ivy: Yeah ... if she had lived, you would be around the same age.

Rina: !

Ivy: My sister died when we were little. She was always with me, and I should have protected her.

Ivy: The moment I took my eyes off her ... she died in an accident.

Ivy: That's why ... you should never take your eyes off the things that are important to you.

Ivy: I have to protect you from anything dangerous ... from anyone who tries to take you away from me ...

Rina: Ivy-sa ...*

Ivy: Rina-chan, you promised me that you would always be by my side, didn't you?

... Ivy-san's gentle arms embrace my body. They are tightly entwined, like a cage.

Ivy: From now on, we will be together forever. I will protect you. You don't have to worry about anything.

Ivy: I will protect you from everything that tries to take you away from me ...

... Speechless, I looked up at him.

His eyes, as deep as the deep sea, were filled with unfathomable thoughts, and they gazed only at me ...

Note 1: At this point, the game switches to a CG (which, by the way, unlocks after chapter 21, don't ask me why), where Ivy hugs Rina with his signature dead eyes and he has them for the rest of this chapter.

Note 2: Omg, my assumption was correct, I can't believe it.

Note 3: Sorry for all my blabbering, but with the drama increasing, I just have so much to say. Anyway, no girl, he never said that. He said she's probably around Rina's age. Which was also the first sign for me that something's off.

Note 4: Not a typo, the hiragana for 'n' is missing

The day after the re-presentation.

When I went to the living room to get ready for work, exe was just about to leave for work.

The other members were already gone, and Ivy-san, who was the last to leave the room, noticed me and smiled.

Ivy: Morning, Rina-chan.

Rina: Good morning.

Ivy: ... Huh?

As he approached, Ivy-san touched my cheek.

Rina: Ah, Ivy-san?

Ivy: You look a little pale. Haven't you slept much?

Rina: Oh, that's ...

... Last night, he and I had a chance to be together. I couldn't sleep because I was so nervous when I remembered that.

When I honestly told him that, he smiled blankly.

Ivy: Oh, I see. ... I thought something had happened.

Ivy: But it's the same for me. Your words made me so happy that I remembered them over and over again.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Ivy: ... I have to go. I'll call you later. See you.

Rina: Y-yes. See you later.

He patted my head, and left the room.

... His demeanor wasn't only gentle but also sweet, which was clearly different from his previous behaviour.

(I really have a chance to be in love with Ivy-san ...)

Joy fills me with a sense of realization.

(I'm so happy that my re-presentation was a success ...)

I went to work feeling happy, but ... I soon regained my composure.

Yamauchi Kota: Kawanaga-san! Why didn't you reply!?

Yamauchi-san rushed up to me and looked at me in dissatisfaction.

Rina: How ... did you know my contact information? I didn't tell you.

Yamauchi Kota: I asked Mori-san. I told her I had a job offer for you.

(You mean you lied to get it out of herß9

Rina: Please don't do that.

I said this out loud, feeling a sense of discomfort welling up inside me.

Yamauchi Kota: Eh ...

Rina: If you want to talk about work, ask me during work. Please don't send me any more messages.

At that moment, I received a message on my phone.

(! Maybe from Ivy-san.)

Yamauchi Kota: K-kawanaga-san. I'm ...!

Rina: I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I walked past Yamauchi-san and headed for my desk.

When I checked my phone, the message was indeed from Ivy-san.

[I'll be back at the condo early today.]

[I need your help gathering materials for work. What time do you think you can get home?]

... The image of his face came to my mind, and my surging heart calmed down.

[I don't have to work overtime today, so I'll be able to go home on time.]

I received a reply immediately.

[Got it. Good luck for your work today.]

Even casual exchanges such as this one make me smile.

(I can't wait to see you ...)

... By the time I finished messaging with him, I no longer cared about the discomfort I had felt just before.

Yamauchi Kota: ...

After that, I finished my work on time as scheduled and left the company.

However, as I was walking toward the station, I felt a strange presence behind me.

When I quietly checked, I saw Yamauchi-san following me at a certain distance.

(Did he follow me from the office?)

The moment I realized that, a chill ran down my spine.

(I'm scared ..)

His incomprehensible behaviour filled me with an indescribable unease.

(What should I do? I can't go back to the apartment.)

He would know where I live, and above all, I must keep it a secret that I'm living with exe.

(It can't be helped, I'll take the long way around. I hope it works ...)

... I held back the fear that welled up inside me and started walking in a different direction from the station I usually use.

Ivy: ... She's late. You said you'd be home on time.

With this in mind, Ivy launched the location sharing app.

Ivy: ... are you on a different train than usual? Are you stopping somewhere ...?

Ivy: Rina-chan ... is something wrong with you ...?

... It was already quite late because I had been running around trying to shake off Yamauchi-san.

(I guess he's not here anymore. I'm glad I was able to lose him successfully ...!)

I almost collapse from exhaustion.

(It's well past 10pm. Ivy-san must be tired from waiting. I need to go home soon.)

But ... just as I was about to head to the apartment ...

Yamauchi Kota: Kawanaga-san.

Rina: !?

The voice coming from right behind me made my heart skip a beat.

Rina: Ya-yamauchi-san ...

I turned around and saw Yamauchi-san standing unexpectedly close to me.

(I thought he was gone already ...!)

There was a thick, obsessive look in his eyes he had fixed on me.

I don't know why he looks at me like this.

Yamauchi Kota: You finally turned around ... why are you ignoring me? You knew.

Yamauchi Kota: Don't run away from me. I just want to talk to you.

Rina: W-what are you doing?

My voice trembled with fear. I wanted to escape, but my legs were too weak to move.

Rina: Please don't follow me. How could you do this to me ...

... At that moment, he opened his eyes wide and cried out.

Yamauchi Kota: It's your fault!

Rina: Eh!?

Yamauchi Kota: Why are you trying to get away from me!? You know how I feel about you, don't you!?

(What are you talking about!? I'm scared ...!)

I had to escape. I ran forward on shaky legs, but within a few shaky steps, I was grabbed by the arm.

Rina: No!

Yamauchi Kota: Don't run away!

The arms pulling me closer to him gave me goosebumps.

Rina: Let go of me!

I swung my arms desperately to escape, and a fierce scramble ensued.

Yamauchi Kota: Why do you hate me so much!? You're always so nice to other guys, but you think I'm stupid ...!?

He was furious and pushed me away.

Rina: Aah!

The force of his oush caused my body to stagger and I fell over onto the roadway.

The lights of the cars coming toward me with their horns blaring burned my eyes.

(I will be killed ...!!)

... At that moment, a large hand grabbed my arm and pulled me up strongly.

Ivy: Rina-chan!!

With the same momentum, he hugged me tightly. Right after that, a blaring car was driving by.

Ivy: Are you okay!?

It was Ivy-san who saved me just in time, just before I was about to be run over by a car.

Rina: Ah, Ivy-san ...

Rina: I ...

Shocked and relieved, I relaxed ... and clung to his chest.

Ivy: I know you were scared. It's all right now, everything's okay ...

He wrapped me in his arms.

And ...

Ivy: Do you ... do you know what you've done?

Ivy-san turned his angry dragon-like eyes towords Yamauchi-san, who was standing frozen next to us.

Yamauchi Kota: No, no, it wasn't my fault! If she'd behaved herself ... I wouldn't have done what I did!

Yamauchi Kota: It's all her fault!

Rina: !

Yamauchi-san was extremely distraught and accused me.

Yamauchi Kota: Because she ignores me! I was the only one who was nice to her when the rest of the colleagues at work were shunning her!

Yamauchi Kota: I'm the one who took pity on you and supported you because you had no place in the company!

Yamauchi Kota: You told me that your contract was terminated, and I consoled you! And you turned me down ...!

... I'm struck by the words of obsession and anger.

(I can't believe he thought that ...)

Ivy: Shut up, that's enough.

However, Ivy-san interrupted him.

Ivy: That's your fantasy. Don't force your selfish thoughts on her.

I could see that Yamauchi-san was taken aback by the overwhelming force.

Ivy: This isn't a girl you should touch.

Yamauchi Kota: ...

Ivy: Go away and never come near her again ... or I won't forgive you.

... His voice was chillingly cold and filled with an anger I had never heard before.

Yamauchi Kota: ... shit!

... Perhaps in fear, Yamauchi-san fled the scene.

Ivy: ...

Ivy-san silently glanced down at me in his arms to make sure I was okay. Then ...

Ivy: Rina-chan ... thank goodness ...!

He twisted his face and pulled me even closer into his arms.

(Ivy-san ...)

I was hugged with so much force that it hurt ... and noticed how his body was trembling.

Rina: I'm sorry. Thank you so much, Ivy-san ...

... I could only apologize.

... Afterwards, I received treatment from him in my room.

Although nothing serious, I had sustained minor injuries when I fell down after the collision.

Ivy: I got home late, so I checked the app and saw that you were acting strangely ... I thought something was wrong, so I rushed over.

Ivy: What the hell happened? How long has he been following you?

Ivy: And what was that about the contract termination? ... Tell me everything.

I could no longer afoord to feel bad about it ...

Rina: Actually ...

I received numerous messages from Yamauchi-san, to whom I hadn't given my contact information.

And that my contract at the company was terminated ...

When I told Ivy-san everything, he looked grim.

Ivy: ... Why didn't you tell me?

Unable to bear the accusing gaze, I find myself becoming frightened.

Rina: I didn't want anyone to misunderstand my situation with Yamauchi-san.

Rina: And I didn't want to worry you when you were going through such a hard time ...

(But that's why we ended up like this ...)

Rina: I'm really sorry ...

Ivy-san let out a deep sigh and wrapped his hands around my own.

Ivy: What do you think would have happened if I had gotten there too late?

Unlike usual, his palms were extremely cold. I looked up to see him staring at me with a tearful face.

Ivy: When I saw you lying in the driveway, I thought my heart would stop ...

He hugged me tightly.

Ivy: I don't want to lose you ...!

The arms that clung to me were different from the usual Ivy-san who protected and reassured me.

Ivy: Don't go anywhere ... don't leave my side. You promised, remember?*

Rina: Ivy-san ...?

I had never seen him like this before. I could see how much it had worried him.

While I feel sorry for him ... I am also glad for his deep feelings.

(I can't believe you're this worried about me ...)

Rina: ... I'm not going anywhere. I will always stay by your side, Ivy-san.

Rina: This time, I mean my promise ...

Ivy: ... Rina-chan.

I promised again and hugged him back with the strong feeling that welled up in me ...

Note: Thank you Ivy for giving me a chance to quip in again. First of all, dead eyes Ivy is back again.

Second of all, since I had already played chapter 19 when I translated chapter 18, I knew the location sharing app would come in handy. It's still extreme but it actually saved Rina's life though she probably wouldn't have been in this situation if she had just talked to Ivy. Anyway, I can understand why he's angry even though he's victim blaming her here. But definitely not as extreme as Yamauchi. This man is absolute scum.

Ivy: There's lot of noise outside my room.

Rina: Well ...

The voices outside were getting closer and closer ... until I could clearly identifiy the exe members.

Ivy: What's all the fuss about?

That moment, Ivy-san let out a sigh, got up, and opened the door ...

The rest of exe rushed inside the room.

Finn: Ivy. do something about them. They're so loud!

Hugh: Shush ... come ...

Jace: What is it about us that makes us persistent? You're the one who's going too fast.

Xeno: I'm just trying to be reasonable. You're the ones who need to stop this!

The room becomes noisy at once at the sound of four voices.

(What the hell!?)

Ivy: Don't fight. What's the matter?

Finn: It's their fault! They're trying to get in the way of me and Hugh.

Jace: I'm gonna get in your way! I know it's not going to work.

Hugh: You never know ... until you try ...

Xeno: The result is obvious! You guys are too short-sighted to begin with.

Finn: Shut up, you're going to have to hit and break these things!

Hugh: Finn is right ... I'm not good at thinking.

Jace: Think about it for a second. Finn and Hugh always act too spontaneously.

Xeno: It's the same on stage. Both of them are habitual offenders who change their dances at will and cause trouble.

Finn: You're telling me it's a nuisance? You guys can't even call people names like that. Just the other day ...!

They were arguing and arguing and arguing, and nothing was getting done.

I was almost at my wit's end when I heard a loud clapping sound.

Ivy: That's enough!

The members who had been arguing suddenly look at Ivy-san.

Ivy: Calm down a little bit. We can't solve anything in this situation.

Ivy: Let's discuss it properly. You aren't children. Can you do that?

Finn: ... Tch. All right.

Jace: Maybe I got a little overzealous ...

Xeno: ... I'm sure. It was unbecoming behaviour.

Hugh: ... Hm.

Ivy: Good.

(It's amazing ... you can calm them down in no time ...)

(I knew he was the leader ...)

The members notice me, as if they can now see their surroundings.

Finn: It's Rina.

Hugh: Housekeeper-san ... there you are ...?

Xeno: It's long past our meeting time.

Rina: I-I'm sorry.

Jace: I was starting the discussion because you didn't show up. Then this happened ...

Ivy: Discussion? ... Rina-chan, what are they talking about?

Rina: Uh, well ... that's ...

Finn: We were talking about ... you.

Ivy: Huh ...?

Jace: Oh, he said it.

Xeno: ... I'm not going to let this happen.

Jace: Aegis-chan told us that you are having trouble and feel threatened by us, Ivy.

Ivy: !!

Xeno: If it is so bad that it is even affecting your composition, it is a serious situation. We can't just leave it at that.

Ivy: ...

Ivy-san was speechless with surprise.

Rina: I'm very sorry, Ivy-san. I ...!

Finn: I'm telling you, Rina said it was supposed to be a secret. I had to force her to tell me.

Finn: You can't leave us alone, can you? You're our leader.

The other three nodded to Finn-san's words.

Xeno: If you, as a leader, are not doing well, it will lead to exe's failure. That's why we discussed countermeasures.

Jace: But we couldn't come up with a good idea, and we talked about how we wanted to reduce your workload.

Finn: So we decided to stop relying on you as much as possible.

Hugh: Instead, I had Housekeeper-san ... help me ...

Ivy: ! That's why Rina-chan was like that today ...

Hugh: But ... even in Macau, you were not in good spirits. All the time ...

Jace: We thought this was a bad idea, so we decided to have an emergency meeting at the hotel.

Ivy: I didn't know that ...

Xeno: Aegis didn't show up on time, so we went ahead and statet meeting on our own. But ...

Jace: We couldn't come to an agreement at all. We were getting heated, and it was like a fight ...

Xeno: Eventually, Finn got fed up and stormed out of the room, saying he would talk to you in person ...

Finn: It's become a bit of a muddle. You have to say what you want to say directly and clearly to convey what you want to say.

Hugh: Me too ... agree ...

Jace: How short-tempered you are. ... Xeno and I wanted to make a move with more thought.

Jace: So we came here, stopping them ... and that's pretty much it.

(That's why all that fuss ...)

Ivy: ... In other words, I was the cause of the fight.

Ivy: I'm sorry guys ... Maybe I'm not a good leader after all.

(What!?)

The other members and I were flustered when Ivy-san laughed without a care in the world.

Rina: There's no way you were the cause of the fight ...!

Rina: You're important to us all, Ivy-san. That's why we don't want you to worry or suffer ... that's all.

Ivy: I'm important? Why ...? I'm not that special.

Rina: Ivy-san ...

Xeno: Why are you so down on yourself? I recognize you as a part of exe.

Finn: Yeah. We've never underestimated you.

Jace: That's right. I really like the music you write. There's no need to feel inferior.

Hugh: Yeah ... you just have to be ... Ivy.

Ivy: ... But I don't have any talent.

Ivy: My composing skills are also mediocre. I'm just an average person who puts in a lot of effort and puts on a good front just like you guys.

Ivy: I'm the only one who isn't "special". I'm diffrent from the rest of you ...

The sad look in his eyes reminded me of something he once said to me.

--flashback--

Ivy: Xeno, Jace, Finn and Hugh … they all have special talents.

Ivy: I’m the only mediocre one. I can sing, dance, compose … nothing really great.

Ivy: They are all special. I’m different from them …

--flashback end--

Then as now, his words were tinged not only with a sense of inferiority but also with a sense of loneliness.

I can see why when I think of the kind, brotherly gaze that Ivy-san always gives his members.

Rina: Ivy-san thinks he's different from the other members of exe ... that's why it's so hard for him.

Rina: "I am inferior to you, my precious friends, in terms of ability, so I am not able to be a true friend to you all."

Rina: You think so, don't you?

Ivy: !

He looked at me as if flabbergasted.

Rina: That's why you're worried, and that's why you feel shy and reserved. Am I right?

Ivy: ...

He bit his lip tighty and let out a defeated sigh.

Ivy: ... That's right.

Ivy: For me, exe is an irreplaceable place.

Ivy: That's why. I can't forgive myself for being different and inferior to everyone else ...

... A lonely little cough brings a look of astonishment on the members' faces.

(I'm sure it was this feeling of loneliness that was at the root of his inferiority complex.)

With this thought in mind, I spoke up once and for all.

Rina: That's not true.

Ivy: What?

Rina: You are not alone. How can you say that you aren't one of them?

Rina: Because exe wouldn't exist without you.

Ivy: I don't have that kind of talent ...

Rina: It's not just about talent. You are the spiritual pillar of exe.

Rina: No matter how good you are at singing or dancing, that's not enough to be a leader.

Rina: Without you, exe would be in shambles. They were fighting like that just now.

Ivy: That's ...

Rina: You can only become 'exe Creed' with your presence and the songs you write.

Rina: Ivy-san is already "special" to the members.

Rina: The fact that they are all working so hard to encourage you is proof of that.

Rina: I'm sure you are the only one who could move people like this.

The members also agreed.

Hugh: Ivy, kind ... without Ivy, I can't do it ...

Jace: If it wasn't Ivy who was depressed, maybe we wouldn't be so desperate.

Xeno: Exactly. ... Ivy's malfuntion is directly related to exe's malfunction.

Finn: And I don't think anyone else would have asked me to do so much. It's because of you.

Ivy: ... Everyone.

With a look of disbelief on his face, Ivy-san looked at them all. They all looked at him intensely in return.

Rina: Do you still consider yourself unfir to lead?

Ivy: ...

He choked on his words.

His clenched hands conveyed the many emotions that must be running through his mind ...

And ... eventually he looked up and said with a tearful smile on his face.

Ivy: ... Thank you. I may not be the most reliable leader, but I'll try my best.

Everyone laughed at the slightly awkward expressions that differed from the usual gentle smiles.

Finn: Yeah. Of course!

Xeno: I've been saying that from the beginning. ... Absolutely.

Hugh: Yeah. Good ...!

Jace: We are no good without Ivy.

Ivy: Haha, I'll be there for you. I'll support you guys.

Ivy: I think I finally understand my role in exe ...

(Good ...! I'm so glad.)

I'm almost in tears.

(Surely now exe Creed is truly united as one.)

(This could be a hint for my presentation ...!)

As I looked at the happy members clapping each other's shoulders, I had an idea in my mind ...)

And ...

... after a successful trip to Macau, we returned home.

Ivy: I'm glad it was so good, even though there was a lot going on. I was able to talk to everyone, and ... my heart was lightened.

Ivy-san looks radiant, as if a burden has been lifted from him.

Rina: I see. But I'm sorry for telling everyone about your problems.

Ivy: It's okay, I know you were thinking of me.

Ivy: Thank you, I owe it all to you. You've always taken care of me ... and I appreciate it.

Rina: I'm glad. ... Ivy-san is feeling lighter.

Rina: And I'm so glad I was able to connect with all of you.

Ivy: ... You're really great. I can't believe you understand me so well.

Ivy: But that's not all. You helped me solve my problems, you saved me ...

He looked at me as if he was looking at something very serious.

Ivy: ... You are my "special" after all.

Rina: Ah, Ivy-san ...!

His heart-melting smile made my heart flutter.

Ivy: But ... even though it was for my sake, it was still lonely knowing that you were hiding and acting in secret.

Rina: I know. I'm really sorry.

Ivy: Yes. So ... from now on, don't hide anything from me.

Ivy: If something happens, tell me everything. I'll do the same for you. ... Okay?

Rina: Yes, I understand.

Ivy: It's a promise.

Ivy-san said happily.

His somewhat innocent smile and honest feelings of loneliness were something he had never shown before.

I'm sure this is also due to the disappearance of love.

(I'm glad, I hope we will be able to see more of Ivy-san's unknown face from now on ...)

Exe has changed and so has Ivy-san. I'm sure that their relationship with him will become even better.

... That's what I thought at this time.

Ivy Chapter 15

DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story. Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.

A few days after deciding to support Ivy-san by reducing his workload, the team was ready for the next step.

This time, I was taken to Macau on business for the office.

The photo shoot will take place for an international music magazine.

The weekend schedule was a bullet train ride, making full use of airplanes, helicopters, and location passes.

Ivy: I'm glad it's sunny. It's a great day to be on location.

Hugh: The sunlight ... so sweet.

Jace: It's a little windy, I need to adjust my hair more often.

Finn: It's a pity that we can't swim as we like when we come to the beach, isn't it?

Xeno: It's natural. We're not here for fun.

The local staff joined us, and the shooting began at last.

I actively supported the team members during the filming.

Jace: ... I'm running out of hairspray.

Ivy: Is the spare hairspray on the location bus? I'm just going back to the bus. I'll get it.

Jace: Don't worry, she has already brought it. Aegis-chan, get the spray!

Rina: Yes, I'll get it right away!

Ivy: Huh ...?

Hugh: Waiting, long ... makes me sleepy ...

Ivy: Hugh, don't sleep in the shadows.

Rina: Hugh-san, why don't you listen to some music while you wait? I've brought some earphones.

Hugh: Yeah, I will ... Thanks, Housekeeper-san.

Ivy: ...

Xeno: Is the atmosphere of this photo a little too bright? Does it fit the theme of the shoot and the image of the magazine?

Ivy: I'll just check it out on the proposal. I have it with me ...

Rina: Yes, Xeno-san, here is the most important proposal. I also have a back-number for the magazine.

Xeno: All right. ... You heard it, Ivy. I don't need a hand.

Ivy: Ah ... hm.

Finn: It's hot by the sea. I'm thirsty.

Ivy: Maybe we hould take a short break. Bring us some drinks too ...

Rina: Everybody, I've asked the photographer to take a break!

Rina: Here is your drink. Please drink it and keep yourself hydrated.

Finn: Thank you, Rina. Drink some too, Ivy.

Ivy: ... Ah.

Jace: Aegis-chan, help me out here!

Rina: I'll be right there!

... And it continued like that, running around with everyone's support.

(Hah ... It's a lot of work, even if they're only small things ...)

It is mind-boggling to think this is what Ivy-san was usually doing while keeping up with his busy schedule.

(I hope I'm easing your burden a bit.)

Ivy: ...

Sakura Eito: Get back on the bus. We're moving into town next.

We moved to a new location and started shooting with Ivy-san, Jace-san and Hugh-san.

(This kind of thing is also new to me ...)

As I was watching the preparations from a somewhat secluded spot, one of the local staff members spoke to me in Chinese.

He's rambling on and on about something in a panic, but he doesn't understand ...

(What should I do? I have no idea what he's saying!)

Ivy: !

Jace: Ivy, what's wrong?

Ivy: Rina-chan seems to be in trouble. I'd like to help her, but ...

Jace: Aegis-chan will be fine. ... See, he's gone.

Ivy: Eh? Ah ...!

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't communicate with the staff member that I looked around in a panic.

(The other staff is in a remote location. Could be trouble, I have to do something ...!)

And then.

Finn: What's wrong?

Finn-san approached me.

Rina: This person is trying to tell me something, but I don't understand Chinese ...

Finn: I see. Hold on a minute.

Finn-san turned to the staff.

Finn: What's wrong?

Chinese staff: Important call for you.

He began conversing in fluent Chinese.

(Wow! I remember that Finn-san's language skills are outstanding!)

After a few moments, the conversation ended and the local staff left. Finn-san turned to me.

Finn: I heard that the time allowed for filming on the street here is less than planned.

Finn: We have room in our schedule, but we have to make sure that the whole thing is rolled up and we don't go overboard.

Rina: Well, I didn't know that's what he meant ... You're very good, Finn-san.

Finn: It's no big deal. I mean, shouldn't we tell the rest of the staff.

Rina: I really appreciate it! Thank you very much!

(Thanks to Finn-san for the help ...!)

With a pang of relief, I ran out to relay the message.

Ivy: ...

Jace: She was fine. You can count on Finn at times like this.

Ivy: ... I see. Rina-chan seems to appreciate it.

Ivy: ...

Jace: Eh, what's wrong, Ivy?

Hugh: ... You not feeling well?

Ivy: No ... it's nothing. Nothing like that. It's normal.

Ivy: ... I think we're ready to shoot. Let's go.

Jace: ... No, no. It's definitely out of the ordinary.

Hugh: ... very strange ...

Jace: Is it because he feels inferior to us?

Hugh: ... Maybe ...

Jace: That's definitely true. Oh man, if things continue like this, it's bad. We have to do something!

... After a successful shoot in the city, it's time to move on to another location.

Jace: Aegis-chan, come her for a second.

Jace-san called me in a whisper.

Rina: What's wrong ... woah.

He pulled my hand and four serious-looking people surrounded me.

Rina: Wha-what's going on?

Xeno: Keep your voice down.

Hugh: Ivy ... notices ...

It was somewhat strange because everyone was speaking in hushed tones.

Finn: I heard that Ivy was really depressed just now. I couldn't leave it like that.

Rina: ! Really?

(I didn't notice it, but something must have happened. I certainly can't leave it like that.)

Jace: So we're going to have an emergency meeting. Meet us at Xeno's room tonight at 10.

Xeno: Why in my room ...!?

Finn: No one would guess we're all gathered in your room. It's a good place for a secret meeting.

Xeno: Tch ...

Hugh: And Housekeeper-san ... comes too ...

Rina: I understand.

(I didn't expect a meeting on the road, but I guess everyone is that worried about Ivy-san.)

... and just then, a voice called out to me from behind.

Ivy: Don't you guys get on the bus?

Rina: !

Xeno, Jace, Finn, Hugh: !

Ivy: What are you so surprised about? What's wrong?

Finn: I-it's nothing!

Jace: That's right. We were just talking about how hungry we are. Right?

Rina: Y-yes.

Hugh: I don't know ... either ...

Xeno: Don't worry about it. Just get on with it and let's get to the next location.

The members quickly boarded the location bus.

Ivy: Oh, hey! What are you ... what were you saying?

Rina: Umm, I guess I'll run, too.

I ran to the other staff members, feeling Ivy-san's suspicious gaze on me.

(I hope he doesn't find out ...)

(We're meeting tonight at 10. I'll try not to forget.)

After that ... the filming finished safely until late into the night.

After the entire group, including the staff, has finished their meals, we arrive at a luxurious hotel.

Sakura Eito: Good work, everyone. Let's break up here for today.

At the order of Sakura-san, everyone disperses to their room. The clock says it's past 9:30.

I was about to go to Xeno-san's room to be inconspicuous when I was approached by Ivy-san.

Ivy: I wonder if you'd like to come to my room with me afterwards.

(Finn-san and the others said he was depressed ...)

Rina: What's wrong?

Ivy: Oh, it's not like I'm in trouble. Don't look so worried.

Ivy: I want to talk business.

(I have a meeting ... but I can't turn him down if it's about work.)

Rina: I understand.

Ivy: Thank you. Let's go then.

As soon as I entered the room, he offered me a seat on the sofa.

Ivy: Make yourself comfortable. Do you want a drink?

Rina: Eh ...

Without waiting for a reply, Ivy-san opens the refrigerator and starts making drinks.

(Drinking? I thought we were talking about work ...)

A glass was offered to me in front of my bewildered eyes.

Ivy: It's a champagne cocktail. You liked it before, didn't you?

It must have been when I had dinner with him.

Rina: You remembered it?

Ivy: Of course. How could I forget?

His smile and thoughtfulness make me feel happy.

(I shouldn't drink it, considering what will happen afterwards, but ...)

Rina: Thank you very much. Okay, just a little bit.

I couldn't refuse, so I accepted the glass.

Ivy: Good. It's a special night in Macau, so let's relax together.

Ivy: But I'm not going to drink too much and get drunk like I did the other day. Don't worry.

Rina: O-okay.

I remember his drunken hug and almost kiss, and my hearts starts pounding.

Ivy: ...

He sat down next to me, not across from me, with his glass.

Rina: ...!

The unexpected close proximity makes me concious of the fact that I can't help but be aware of it.

(... Ugh, how embarrassing.)

I couldn't bear the staring eyes, so I looked away and took a sip of my glass.

Ivy: Delicious?

Rina: Yes. Very ...

Ivy: Yeah? ... I'd like to try it. I'd like to have a taste, too.

Ivy-san clutched my glass in his hand.

Rina: !

He took my breath away and brought the glass straight to his own mouth.

Ivy: ... Mmm, it's sweet. It's fragnant and delicious.

... When I realized that my hand had been released, Ivy-san's glass was now in front of my mouth.

Ivy: Please try mine, too.

Rine: Eh, I couldn't possibly ...

Ivy: You don't have to be. But I think it might be a little strong for you.

Ivy: That's what happens when you drink just one sip of a cocktail mixed with juice.

Laughing, he lightly patted my arm.

Rina: ...

... Even without being told, I could see that my face was turning red.

(What's wrong with him? I've never had anyone touch me like this before.)

My heart is loud. I'm so embarrassed, I can't stand it.

Rina: ... Um, didn't you say we are talking about work?

I couldn't take it any longer and asked deceptively.

Ivy-san then said "Oh", and opened his mouth.

Ivy: ... You did a great job at the set today.

Ivy: I was amazed at how well you were able to work as a staff and how well you supported the members.

Rina: Really?

Ivy: Yeah. I always do that kind of thing, so it was a lot easier today.

I'm happy to hear that, but ... his face is clouded.

Ivy: To tell you the truth, it was a little less than fun.

Rina: What? Why?

Ivy: ... because you're always taking care of the others.

Rina: !

Ivy: They're relying on you. They seem to get along with you ...

Rina: Ivy-san ...

(Does that mean ... you're jealous?)

(No way. But if you put it in such easy-to-understand terms ...)

... My heart beats faster and faster.

Ivy: It's nice of you to take your job so seriously, but it's a lot to take care of the members, isn't it?

His arms gently pulled my hips closer.

Ivy: So take it easy and focus on supporting me ...

His beautiful eyes look into my eyes. His voice, as gentle as the calm sea, makes me feel as if I can't help but to fall in love with him ...

(Ivy-san ...)

... It was then that I heard a commotion outside the room.
