Shoma: It was so refreshing!! .....Oi megane? Shion: .....I feel sick Shoma: But you played like you were fine today! ... God,can’t be helped. Shoma: Sogo-san! I'm taking this Megane to the Aid room! Sogo: Got it! I'll clean up over here. Call me if anything happens. Shoma: Thanks! Shion: I'm sorry.... Toya: You're not going with them? Sogo: It will be alright, I have to take my drum apart too, and they getting along pretty well. Toya: I see .... Sogo: ? Sogo: What? You're in daze. Are you feel sick too? Toya: It's opposite Sogo: opposite? Toya: I could still perform. I want be on stage more. Sogo: Hee—It's rare that you're not tense after a stage. Toya: Tense... Sogo: Usually you're mumbling, 'I should have done that better', 'I should have done this'. Toya: I see..... Sogo: You're not going to say something like that today? Toya: It's not that. But reflection and regret can come later. That's what I feel now. Haiji: Umm....sorry to interrupt.. Toya: You are... Sogo: Aren't you Haiji-kun? Haiji: It's been a while Sogo-san. Sogo: Sorry, I'll hurry up and clear out. Just give me a minute. Haiji: Eh? Is just the two of you here? Toya: One member was sick and went to the first aid room. Kurono: That's seem tough. Let me help. Toya: Thankyou, but it's fine don't mind us. Kurono: As we all share the same stage, don't hold back. Mashiro: I mean, if Hauro doesn't clear out, we can't get in. Haiji: Mashiro-san! Sogo: Thanks, then, I will accept your kind offer. Mashiro: Forget about that. Just get your hands to work over there. Sogo: Ouch, Okay. Haiji: Cable over here, done! Kurono: It looks fine.  I think I can move the keyboard with this. Sogo: Oh, thank you. I'll take care of the rest. Hey, Toya. Haiji: Eh— I'll help. Toya: it's fine, your kindness is enough. Haiji: But— Toya: Now you need to concentrate on your turn. We need Rubire to be in the throne for a while longer. Mashiro: Hee— Toya: Otherwise, the impact when Hauro overtakes Rubire will be small. Mashiro: You heard that? Kurono: Well, if that's the case, then I'll stop helping you here. Haiji: I understand. . Sogo: ... I'm surprised. You're going to overtake Rubire? Seriously? Toya: You have problems with that? Sogo: No, but I don't think you'd come with something big. Toya: That's right. But, with the current Hauro I'm sure we can do it. I look forward to your performance. See you then.

Mashiro: .... what's with that confident face.. Kurono: Just get on with setting yourself up. You're late coming in the first place. Where were you and what were you doing! Mashiro: Ah .. Do you even bother to ask that?. Kurono: Ah. You went smoking again. Mashiro: I was smoking and watching for them to clear out. But they wouldn't move. Haiji: Mashiro-san, you're don't really like  Hauro member, right? Mashiro: Not really. But it's definitely the faces I don't want to see. Haiji: But I was really fired up by that exchange! Kurono: Me too. I won't give up my throne so easily. Mashiro: Well, we should make them regret they had to play against us.

[TRANSLATION] SOGO BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SHORT STORY(SS)🎉🎂

Late at night, Sogo stealthily left the living room, taking careful steps.

As I slid on my shoes by the entrance, I glanced over my shoulder. Empty beer cans lined up, a plate with half-eaten snacks, and the three of them, Shoma, Hibiki, and Shion, sprawled out in various sleeping positions.

(They're asleep, good.)

Stepping into the yard, Ricky, the Labrador Retriever, immediately perked up and stood. With a quick gesture of "stay," Ricky understood my intention and obediently squatted down.

"Good boy, Ricky."

I stroked the dog, and Ricky responded with narrowed eyes and a wagging tail.

(I wish humans could understand as easily as Ricky does.)

I attached a leash to Ricky's collar and walked quietly, trying to avoid making any noise. Leaving the yard and stepping outside, The neighborhood, filled with houses, was quiet, and there wasn't a single person on the streets. Normally, our walks were part of their morning routine. However, despite being well into the season of autumn on the calendar, the feeling of summer still lingered heavily, making daytime walks quite uncomfortable.

(It's lucky everyone's asleep.)

If I mentioned taking the dog for a walk, they might insist on joining. Especially Shoma. Having to walk alongside a cheerful drunkard on the streets at night was quite foreseeable. Hibiki and Shion might even tag along, saying they're going to the nearby convenience store.

(Ugh… what a hassle.)

I put on a slightly amicable expression, and Ricky immediately stuck close.

(It's suffocating, really.)

Lately, especially…

"…………Huh?"

Suddenly, my phone in my back pocket vibrated.

The name displayed on the screen was "Toya."

"Why are you calling at this hour?"

Ignoring the drowsy greeting, I listened and the short phrase bounced back, "Where are you right now?"

"Just around my neighborhood. What do you want?" "Am I not allowed to call you for no reason?" "it's fine, but you said you'd be in the studio until late today, and you don't like staying up late."

"Well, yeah. So, where are you?"

"I went near the park and turned back around."

"Isn't this the time for Ricky's walk? Do you want to let him play in the park?"

"Even at this time, it's too hot. If I make him exercise too hard, he might overheat."

"He…"

Even though I was just complaining about the heat, I sensed a subtle laugh on the other end of the line.

"You're kind to dogs, huh?" "Oi, oi. I'm kind to everyone. You know?" "Are you in position to say that? By the way, why did you decide to get a dog again?"

"Why, huh? That…Oh, hey, stop that!"

Ricky barked once and suddenly started running.

As I ran after him, shouting "stop," he didn't look back. However, from the direction and his pace, I could tell he was heading back home.

(Oh well.)

It's not a big distance. It seems easier to go along with him than to hinder his movement.

Once I'm back, I'll take a shower right away.

"Oh crap!!"

A massive voice, completely out of place in the late-night residential area, resounded.

Suddenly, Ricky surged forward, gaining speed and causing the leash to slip through my hand.

"Hey, Ricky!"

"Whoa! Wait, wait!! Hey, stop!!" "Your voice is too loud, do you even know what time it is?" "Shoma, Toya. What are you guys doing? In a place like this?"

"Seriously. I thought we could buy a little more time." Touya said that, tossing his smartphone into his bag.

"Ricky is way smarter than you. Did he hear the taxi in front of the house or did he figure it out in various ways?" "? Anyway, what's up with you, calling at this hour?" "Idiot, don't mess around like that! Ricky, sit!!" "Buying time? What the hell are you talking about?" "Shut up, you damn Yankee!" "Oh, it's Sogo. Welcome back." "Shion, Hibiki." "Ugh. Seriously, I told you over the phone to buy some time."

Said Hibiki who gave an exasperated expression.

"See, look at this face. As expected, you absolutely don't remember." "I agreed with Hibiki." "It's not like that's true. You were denying it." "Shut up! Don't you normally remember your own birthday!?"

I couldn't believe my ears.

(What's the big deal about a birthday?)

Didn't we just gather around Hibiki and drink, saying the same thing not too long ago?

(…So annoying.)

This atmosphere where celebrating one's birth is taken for granted.

Loving your neighbors is considered natural in this atmosphere, mixed with the languid lingering heat, "that" is so heavy and sickeningly sweet… it's suffocating.

"You've got to be kidding. Sogo-san seriously, did you forget?" "For now, let's go inside. Making more noise will bother the neighbors." "I've prepared something, sort of hastily though since I didn't have much time." "Come on, Sogo."

Seeing me at a loss for words, Hibiki lightly patted my shoulder. Then, with a nonchalant demeanor, he pretended, "Come on, just go along with it. Today, as special treat I'll sing a special birthday song for you."

[impish-crow]

[TRANSLATION] HIBIKI BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SS(Short Story) 🎉

Pushing open the studio door, the lukewarm heat from outside surged in all at once.

"Wow, it's so hot…"

Even my own voice escaping my mouth is irritating. Despite the fact that the sun has long set, the daytime heat lingers on, and not only that, it's carrying a dampness that hangs heavily in the thin evening darkness of summer.

(Truly unpleasant.)

I let out a sigh, not knowing how many times I've sighed since waking up today.

"Kouno, quit complaining all the time. It's annoying." "It can't be helped, it's hot." "The air is so muggy…"

"Shion." Toya, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned back with a concerned look.

"You really seem to be struggling. Shouldn't you let Sogo carry you?"

"I'm fine. I can manage. It's just to the parking lot, so I can do it somehow…"

Despite Shion's brave response, it's evident on his face that he is nearing their limit.

"I've always hated summer."

Muttering that, I noticed Endo glancing over in this direction for a moment.

But I pretended not to notice.

Intense heat. Right in the middle of August.

(It's hot and exhausting… so hot.) Nothing's going well. If possible, I'd want to pretend I'm dead and just get through this. While thinking that,

(Oh, not again.)

My phone is ringing.

(How many times since morning?)

I know who's calling without even looking at the screen.

Today is the day when once a year, I'm subjected to a one-sided confession of guilt and apologies for not being able to do anything. So, I'm not picking up. Absolutely not. (Mom, I've had enough of that.)

I'm not a kid anymore. I'm living on my own just fine. I'm not hurt anymore, really. (I've been raised well enough. I'm grateful. I don't want or need anything more from you.)

Please, I hope you understand soon. (… Ah, it got disconnected.) That's a relief. Explaining things is tiring anyway and it's hot.

"Hey, Megane.."

Shion raised his face slowly, and Endo continued.

"How about having today's drinking session at your place, after all?"

"…At Shion's place? Not Sogo's?"

Surprised, I asked again, and Toya nodded easily.

"Let's do that. Shion seems unwell since the morning, and it's worrying to leave him alone."

"I'm sorry, but my place is small."

"It's fine. As long as there's enough space for one person to sit, we're good." "Huh, Toya, you're coming too?" "Is there a problem if I'm there?" "There isn't, but you hardly ever come even if you're invited. And today, Shion doesn't seem well either, so there's no need to push yourself to drink on a day like this." "A day like this, huh?" "Kouno. Isn't today your birthday?"

All three of them looked at me simultaneously.

(Huh, no way… What? Is that so?)

They were looking at me with expressions that seemed like it should be obvious. I was surprised.

"Could it be that you forget it?" "Yeah, well… but so what?" "What do you mean? We're going to drink, it's your birthday." "I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you're saying…" "Get it together, you fool. Oh, Sogo-saan!"

Sogo came running back from the parking lot.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." "Whoa, you're all drenched in sweat!" "During summer, just lifting and lowering the drums is a workout itself. The inside of the car is ridiculously hot too."

"I'm really sorry, I had Sogo-san carry the keyboard too."

"Don't worry about it. I left the door wide open and turned on the AC, so let's go. It would be nice if our mood improves a bit while we're driving." "That's the thing, though. Is it okay to have it at Megane's place today?" "I don't mind, but is it fine for all of us to barge in? It's still an option to do it at my place as planned. I even aired out the guest room's futon the other day." "Home is where anyone most comfortable. Also, while we're at it, we can inspect Shion's room and buy anything necessary for his summer life. It's your first summer living alone, right?" "Yes… um, sorry." "Do you properly turn on the AC when you sleep?" "I set it on a timer." "Huh? You're gonna die, you idiot!" "Shut up! If I leave it on, I'll freeze to death!"

I'm living on my own just fine. I'm not hurt anymore. I still don't like summer, though. But…

(Since when did things become like this?)

At the very least, this year's summer is not the same as before.

"Hey, Hibiki, why are you smiling?" "Sorry. I just felt like, it's kind of fun."

Finding myself able to think like that was a bit refreshing. I couldn't help but smile.
