Chapter 27 My Ideal Group?! No Way!
(Nijigasaki Academy Clubroom)
(Two weeks later...)
(Leon POV)
Everyone has been doing great so far past weeks taking a good look into the group work footages and also my training with Barry helping him becoming real natural into what he wanna do for the best...Although Leonidas seems to be hesitant since last week I thought it was bringing Barry with me while I was in Starlight Sentinel mode but it's not that about the Nijigasaki Idol Group...
"Leon...don't you think something bit wrong with everyone doing the group work," Leonidas said, "Hm what you're talking about?" I asked confused setting stuff ready for practice "Towels and Drinks are a go Leon" Yu said smiled "Alright Yu" I said smiled as we waited "Like I been looking into the footages for myself..." Leonidas said hesitated "If something wrong buddy let me know this is well important for all of us," I said confused "Well I think my training is kinda fast though I never went into real danger scenario yet," Barry said confused "Don't worry Barry with you backing me up things should go pretty smoothly," I said smiled "Hey everyone!" Setsuna yelled, "Alright everyone let's take it from the top!" I yelled as we begin practice like the usual...
(Times Passed By)
"Alright everyone takes 5!" I yelled, "I think we are really improving," Ai said grinning "Yes, that seems fairly balance," Shizuku said smiled, "I think for the second verse, instead of doing the leg move altogether, we should try something little more creative. What you all think?" Emma asked confused "Oh I thought so too. The angles should match up" Kanata said confused "Hmm hang on I will recheck the footage..." I said confused (Leon seriously something not right!) Leonidas thought (Not right now Leonidas hold on) I thought "Oh I kinda ruin the balance here," Karin said "Wow Karin your so slender and stylish," Ayumu said amazed "We don't want me to only be the one standing up this time, though," Karin said sweatdrop "Hmm...then let's tweak up this part then," Setsuna said (What? Karin looks completely fine though?) I thought confused "The singing needs to match up too. We should decide on everything now" Rina said "Everything??" I asked confused "Like when the beats hold on the note at the end of the hook. right?" Rina asked confused "Yea Rinari, I guess if we are gonna do this then we need to be more thorough," Ai said "Oh sorry, that was my fault. I'll make sure to match the music better" Emma said smiled (But...there's nothing wrong with it Emma's voice fits perfectly on this part...well after all this is a group performance after all so sacrifices are necessary) I thought (No Leon you know it's wrong something not right this group almost feel like forced but worse than Setsuna style) Leonidas thought (...I wait what???) I thought eyes widened "Leo are we gonna go again?" Ayumu asked confused "Y-Yeah alrighty," I said shook the weird vision appeared of creepy being controlling people... (HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!) ??? "Leon??" Yuu asked, "Oh right everyone ready?" I asked "YEAH!" All yelled
"Okay from the top! One! Two! Three! Four! Again! One! Two! Three! Four!" I yelled "Whoops! I accidentally added another step again" Kasumi said nervously "You really hop around on stage like a little bunny. A certain somebody telling me how cute that is" Ayumu said smiled "WHAT?! He told you stuff like that?? He should tell me too" Kasumi said "Ahaha...I will let him know on walk home" Ayumu said giggled "W-When it's time to leave! I will go with you! For now, watch out for those extra steps!" Kasumi said (Who?) I thought confused (You idiot) Leonidas thought (Ow) I thought sweatdrop "Alright everyone let's give it another shot I'm recording it!" Ai yelled "Okay!!" Everyone yelled as I was stunned for the most part "Woah! That was great!" Ai yelled "Yes we were very synchronized," Rina said (After all of those sacrifices...I know something is wrong but what is it!) I thought (HEHEHEHHEHHEHE!!) ??? Thought as I flinched clutching my chest for bit eyes widened wide (Leonidas what the fuck was that?!) I thought (I don't know...I gotta check on your memory scan after this) Leonidas thought serious expression "Leo-Senpai, what did you think?" Shizuku asked smiled (What I think...uh agh...they did so well and fully practice becoming as one whole group...but I know this isn't right nor feels like the U's and Aqours...What have I done...) I thought "Leo? Are you okay?" Ayumu asked "Uhh huh? Yeah, I'm okay!" I yelled (Lies you know what's wrong Leon hehe) ??? Thought (So tell me how much you loved these girls close as family am I right?) ??? Thought snickered (Who the hell are you?) I thought dark tone (Oh me I'm well your conscious the side you never so much as often don't worry though we will meet hehehe) Thought "Leon!" Yu yelled "AH WHA?!" I yelled flinched looked around "If you okay then how we do in the performance?" Ayumu asked "It was spectacular! You guys were perfectly in sync!" I yelled (SYNC THIS?!) I thought "Really? That would put me in good mood" Karin said smiled "We're getting closer to become your ideal idol group" Shizuku said smiled "Y-Yeah...?" I said hesitated (...Ideal group?) I asked eyes widened (This is slowly becoming an Ideal group only for you and what you really wanted Leon...this isn't anything about Nijigasaki at all only you) Leonidas thought with a worried expression (WHAT?! And...we been practicing all this time just to only suit my needs only for me and not to represent them or Nijigasaki at all) I thought clenching fists tightly (This isn't what I had in mind this all feels like...facade....) I thought eyes widened "Let's go play it back again and review it!" Emma yelled, "Oops my smile feels forced right there." Kanata said nervously "Oh same for me though mine is a little stiff to how embarrassing," Emma said nervously laughed "...No stop" I said slowly clenching fists "Ah?" Barry asked looked at me felt the unknown steam of negative aura flaring...
"Karin you look amazing. Your expression never falters. I guess it thanks to modeling" Setsuna said smiled "Well I am supposed to slightly feeling better at controlling my facial expressions. Still, I just stand out way too much during this part, maybe I should move behind everyone?" Karin asked confused "...Quit it" I said slowly trying to contain myself from blurting out...
"Maybe I'm moving too much?! I always end up adding so many extra steps there." Ai said chuckled "I know what you mean! I always end up wanting to add pose during that part right here" Kasumi said nervously "THAT'S ENOUGHHHH!!!" I yelled stood up (L-LEON?!) Leonidas thought eyes widened flaring of the huge mist of steam then faded away instantly "Leo?!" Ayumu yelled "Leon?!" Yu yelled "Boss???" Karin asked flinched "Producer!?" Setsuna yelled "Leon-Senpai!?" Kasumi, Rina, and Shizuku yelled flinched "...This isn't right...THIS IS ALL WRONNNG!!" I yelled took off running "WHAT?!" Ayumu yelled shocked...
(DAMN IT!) I thought kicking empty soda can into the trash basket... "Leon calm down hey you didn't know I only realized it too," Leonidas said "...That my fault if I hadn't been so blinded..." I said concerned expression "It's full of lies and fulfillment...I was trying to FORCED them to be like U's and Aqours" I said punch the wall growled "Such idiot..." I said dark tone "Leon all we can do is fixed up where we make mistakes we aren't just some mindless puppet taking orders that weird thing bothering you is called Ruin he used manipulation and well cause fake bad implant memories on the host," Leonidas said "Whatever your seeing when he appears isn't real," Leonidas said "I basically butchered everyone individuality and freedom restrained into small damn facade..." I said clutching my head "Raise up your head high Leo you always fixed stuff before this time I know you can make it work kiddo" Leonidas said smiled "Right...I need to head back and apologized to everyone" I said sweatdrop "Yep come on" Leonidas said hop on my shoulder as I raced down "...Hehe, such an easily fool you are Leonidas" ??? said grinning...
