Hime Narration: {Sometimes reality is harsh.}
After the recording session is over, the music producer Yuki and Producer Yamada are drinking coffee by themselves. Yuki is still concerned about this "better use" of Hime that Yamada mentioned earlier. Yamada tells him that, truly, he has no use for her for the time being. However, he's planning on using her.
The next day at school, all Hime's classmates are laughing at her because she failed. They expected as much from her of all people, the Gorilla dropout. Hime screams like a gorilla and starts throwing desks at them. Someone pats a male student on the shoulder. When he looks to see who it is, it's Shou holding a thick chain, smiling and looking quite bloodythirsty^^. He asks the boy if he's the one calling his friend an idiot. Tsukino tells him that what he's about to do is no good. She holds up a doll and a needle saying she can make him go bye-bye with one pierce. Shou tells her to do it. Everyone else is freaking out^^. A student asks Mitchi to do something about his "friends", but Mitchi denies being friends with them and tries to distract everyone with a "glorious" female action figure. Shou kicks him for denying their friendship^^.
Hime recalls her experience with the dub recording the day before. She really did do it with all the strength she had, but in the end she was disqualified. In keeping with their promise, Yamada won't be using her again. This is really depressing for her. She's completely spacing out. She doesn't realize that Tsukino has been trying to get her attention. Tsukino asks he if she's alright. Hime says she's fine.
On another note, she seems to be the one who has tons of homework to do. There's a big pile of work on her desk that she stares at. Tsukino guesses that it's because she failed the dub recording. The word "Failed" rings in Hime's mind. Tsukino asks if she's alright again, probably meaning Hime is spacing out again. Hime assures her that she's doing fine. She asks Tsukino if she came over to talk to her about something.
Tsukino becomes hesitant. She lowers herself and holds onto the edge of Hime's desk. In her soft voice, she tells Hime that a 3rd-year from the Sports Department has confessed his love to her. Hime blurts it out in surprise, allowing everyone in class to hear. Tsukino becomes extremely embarrassed and covers Hime's mouth.
When they're alone, Tsukino tells Hime the whole story. Hime asks her what she's going to do about it. Tsukino has already rejected this guy, but he's being persistent. He told her she should make a proper decision after she gets to know him better. Hime is doubtful that this is an actual confession.
They're not alone for long. The 12th grader who confessed makes his appearance and loudly greets Tsukino. Tsukino hides behind Hime, making Hime go into protective mode. This boy, Eda, asks why she's hiding, but guesses right away that she's just being shy and laughs. Hime notes that he's definitely annoying.
Tsukino flat out tells him that he's bothering her. Eda points to himself and declares that a sportsman's good trait is that he never gives up doing anything. Hime yells at him, saying Tsukino is still bothered by him. They manage to get away from him.
During lunch break, the 4 dropouts eat together outside and talk about Tsukino's situation. Mitchi suggests that Tsukino should just put a curse on him if he's bothering her so much. Tsukino insists that even though Eda is annoying, he seems like a very positive person, so she can't put a curse on him. Mitchi looks a little sick, seeing as she has managed to put a curse on him before...(^.^)
Shou sees no choice but for him to deal with the stalker. Hime is happy that "General" is getting involved. (Reminder, Shou is the former leader of a yakuza gang.) As he's reaching for his chain, Hime tells him that all he has to do is say something like, "Keep your hands off my Tsukino." This totally blows Shou's mind. He tries to say it but can't even get the first 2 words out before he breaks under the pressure and runs away^^.
Next is Mitchi. He offers his help. The stalker will definitely leave her alone after he's through. Of course, when Mitchi actually gets a glimpse of the boy during rugby practice, his stomach starts hurting really bad. Hime knows exactly why...the coward.
It's just Hime and Tsukino now. Hime comes up with the idea to find out what type of girl he hates and then make Tsukino that type. Tsukino isn't positive that she'll be able to do that, but Hime assures that she can.
"I won't use you. You're disqualified."
Hime once again remembers Yamada's words. She spaces out in the hallway. Tsukino snaps her back and asks once again if she's really alright. Hime blushes and says that they should get going, jumping into a sprint. Since she was so spaced out, she didn't realize someone else was in the hallway and ends up colliding with his shoulder.
Hime sees that the person she bumped into was Mizuki Haruyama from Idol Unit AQUA. His partner, Shuuma Kawai, frantically asks if he's alright. From the looks of it, Mizuki is telling him he's fine. He spots her and bends down, and with his dazzling idol smile, asks her if she's alright. Hime blushes like crazy and bows to him over and over telling him she's okay. Then she notices Shuuma, who's giving her a piercing look.
Shuuma: "Watch out. Because if you hurt Mizuki then you're gonna get what's coming to you."
Mizuki: "Now, now, Shuu^^."
Indeed, this guy is scary^^.
Mizuki apologizes for Shuuma's rude behavior and they both walk away. Hime is left behind wondering what's with that idol unit, especially the one that was called "Shuu". Tsukino explains that Mizuki Haruyama is very special to Shuuma Kawai. There's even a rumor that when someone hurt Mizuki in the past, Shuuma totally demolished that person by making everyone beat up and wear down that person. Hime definitely doesn't want to become wrapped up in something like that...
Hime remembers that Producer Yamada was the one who created the Idol Unit AQUA. However, she doesn't dwindle on it for long since they have another problem to deal with.
They go to Eda's classroom and ask the boys there what type he doesn't like. They recall him saying he didn't like noisy girls. So Tsukino tries her best to be noisy. However, she just seems more adorable than before to Eda and he sprints after her. Poor girl^^.Hime apologizes for her mistake. She had no idea the exact opposite of what was expected would happen.
During lunchtime, a teacher comes by Hime's desk and plops another big pile of homework on her desk. The teacher cheerfully explains that all this extra work is due to her bringing shame on both the school and Producer Yamada with her failed dub recording attempt. She absolutely has to do this work.
Hime sinks into the feeling of failure and submits to doing it. When school ends, Tsukino offers to help Hime with her problems. Hime declines her offer. Afterall, these problems were given to her and her alone. She needs to do them by herself. It'd make no sense otherwise. She can't stop moving forward just because she was disqualified. Tsukino repeats the word "myself" and decides that Hime is right. If she has a problem then she really should do all she can to solve it herself. She leaves the classroom to go decline Eda once more. Hime wonders if she'll be alright and decides to wait in the classroom for Tsukino to return.
While everyone has seemed to gone home, Hime is still waiting in the classroom. She hears the door slide open and looks to see if its Tsukino. Instead, it's Senri. He looks just as surprised as she does. He goes to his desk and starts looking for something. Hime asks him why he's there when everyone else has gone home already. He doesn't answer her, which irritates her. She continues to look away from him.
Hime thoughts: [At the professional scene, there was nobody who did a more excellent performance than Senri Kudou...]
Senri glances at her and sees the look she has.
Senri: "...Hey...That last performance you did..."
Hime stiffens as if to brace for the harsh truth.
Senri: "I thought it was rather good."
Hime turns to look at him after he praises her. Of course, he being the tsundere he is, blushes like crazy and yells that he didn't particularly say that for her sake. He quickly slams the door when he leaves. Hime thinks he's a strange person indeed, but she smiles and admits he did make her happy when he said that.
Without warning, Hime's cellphone starts going off. She sees that its Tsukino calling and answers. She asks if anything is wrong.
Tsukino: "Help me..........."
Hime dashes out right away in a panic. It turns out that when Tsukino rejected him again, Eda wanted to know the reasons behind it. She kept telling him that it was because she was already dating someone else, but Eda didn't believe it. He told her that until she calls her "boyfriend" out, he won't let her go home. Hime doesn't know what to do. She can't easily ask any guy to do this since everyone has gone home. There might just be someone in the faculty room, though.
She passes a room and spots a boy reading alone. Just as she thinks things are solved, she sees that the boy is one half of AQUA, Mizuki Haruyama. She's in a pickle now! If she gets Mizuki involved then she's practically inviting trouble. Then she comes up with another idea. She approaches Mizuki and asks the most odd question.
Hime: "Could you please take off your clothes?!"
Mizuki: "Eh?"
Wheezing, Hime rushes to the room where Tsukino said she was. She repeats to herself that she can do this. She can perform. Even Senri Kudou of all people commended her. She will become Tsukino's boyfriend. She opens the door of the room to see Tsukino almost in tears and Eda trapping her against a chalkboard. Hime has taken down her hair and tucked it beneath the shirt. She is out of breath for running so quickly there.
Eda, with his annoying blank smile, ask who this intruder is. With her rare, low male voice, she glares at him and asks him back who he is.
She steps between them and slaps his hand away. Eda makes a sissy fuss and tells her to let go of Tsukino.
Hime: "Let her go? I won't. I'm Tsukino Todoroki's boyfriend. Don't you dare touch my woman."
She gives him an even deeper glare that, along with her chilling voice, sends Eda running for the hills. Hime relaxes and smiles, patting a crying Tsukino on the head. Hime is thinking right about now that acting is indeed fun.
Meanwhile, the other AQUA, Shuuma, walks in on Mizuki reading and freaks out. See, he's completely naked^^. Mizuki blushes a bit and says he took his clothes off and a girl from the seiyuu department named "Hime" has them. Needless to say, Shuuma is pissed.

AAAAAAHHHH~! This is where it all starts~! I covered chapters 6-11 before I even knew RAWs for this were out! So I already know what's gonna happen with Hime, Shuuma, and Mizuki. But I'm going to write this afterthought as if I didn't know^^.
*with a bad-actor voice* Wow! I'm concerned about that rumor that Tsukino mentioned about Shuuma. If he's out for revenge for Mizuki, then we can definitely expect Hime to go through a lot of rough times in the future. I hope she'll be alright!
Okay, Eda was indeed annoying. And ugly^^. According to how everyone looks in this series, anyway. I hope he never returns again.
Once again, Hime pulls off a male scene that I absolutely love. I think this is my most favorite one yet.
Lastly, Mizuki just keeps getting weirder in a cool sense. I mean, he's just sitting there as if everything s normal BUT HE'S NAKED! Imagine walking in one someone like that...(XD) I wonder if he's completely naked...? Would it really be necessary for Hime to take his underwear too?

AAAAAAHHHH~! This is where it all starts~! I covered chapters 6-11 before I even knew RAWs for this were out! So I already know what's gonna happen with Hime, Shuuma, and Mizuki. But I'm going to write this afterthought as if I didn't know^^.
*with a bad-actor voice* Wow! I'm concerned about that rumor that Tsukino mentioned about Shuuma. If he's out for revenge for Mizuki, then we can definitely expect Hime to go through a lot of rough times in the future. I hope she'll be alright!
Okay, Eda was indeed annoying. And ugly^^. According to how everyone looks in this series, anyway. I hope he never returns again.
Once again, Hime pulls off a male scene that I absolutely love. I think this is my most favorite one yet.
Lastly, Mizuki just keeps getting weirder in a cool sense. I mean, he's just sitting there as if everything s normal BUT HE'S NAKED! Imagine walking in one someone like that...(XD) I wonder if he's completely naked...? Would it really be necessary for Hime to take his underwear too?
