MAKE A HOLIDAY: Chapter 6

the jig is up (not clickbait)

previous part (chapter 5)

next part (chapter 7)

IV: I’ve long since noticed that you guys have been sneaking around me.

IV: You’ve been arriving on-site earlier than usual, and you’ve even been contacting the staff yourselves, haven’t you?

IV: Care to explain what’s going on?

DAI: Wha… You knew?

IV: Of course I did. Or, rather, how could I not have noticed it?

DAI: Then why didn’t you tell us that you noticed it?!

IV: I was just waiting to see what you guys were up to.

RIO: So in other words, we weren’t able to hide it from you at all.

MEGU: You’re kidding~. How embarrassing!

YUI: You saw right through us, and yet you kept quiet about it. Your personality sucks.

IV: I don’t think the four of you are any better, with all of that sneaking around, though?

YUI: Ugh… Well, you have a point, but…

IV: In any case, I found out about it, so you guys should just come clean about everything.

IV: What are you trying to hide from me?

DAI: Fine. I give up…

DAI: We were trying to take over your work for you, IV.

IV: …Eh?

MEGU: We’ve been talking about how pale you’ve looked as of late, y’know?

YUI: We figured that you may be overworking yourself.

RIO: We’ve been leaving all of the backstage work to you, after all. So we decided that we’d try to take over the parts of your work that we could.

YUI: Yup, yup. We just want you to get some rest.

IV: …I see. So that’s why you’ve been arriving on-site early, and contacting the staff yourselves.

DAI: But in the end, you beat us to each and every thing, and we couldn’t get anything done at all.

IV: You guys don’t have to worry about me, though…

DAI: Huuh?! Don’t be stupid! Who wouldn’t worry about their friends?

MEGU: Exactly! Isn’t it a given that we’d be worried about you?!

RIO: IV… It’d be terrible if anything happened to you.

YUI: Yeah… So you should just get some rest…!

RIO: Such are our feelings on the matter. It’d be pointless to tell us not to worry about you.

IV: …Sorry. That came out wrong, didn’t it?

IV: I’m sorry for worrying you guys. I understand how you feel.

IV: It’s just that… you guys should be focusing on something more important instead.

DAI: There’s no way that something more important than you exists!

IV: I’ll explain, okay? Follow me, please?

YUI: This is… the venue for our next live?

RIO: Yeah. The stage has already been set up for us.

MEGU: It feels as though we’re just about to get onstage, right?

DAI: Why’d you bring us here?

DAI: You have a reason for it, right?

IV: …We’ll be standing here in a few days’ time.

IV: We’ll be firing up the crowd from this very stage as Full Throttle4.

IV: No one else will be up there with us.

IV: None of it will be possible without you guys.

YUI: …

IV: I know we haven’t talked about this before, but… could I share my thoughts with you?

DAI: Why’re you even giving us the choice not to listen to you? I’ll hear you out, so spill everything, got it?

MEGU: It’s rare for you to want to talk about something, IV. I wanna hear it tooooo!

IV: Thank you.

IV: The topic I want to talk about is Full Throttle4.
