People are so annoying sometimes, but that’s also a trait that makes them human. I just wish they would be less annoying. You used to be so annoying as well. Not that you aren’t right now though. You’re still so troublesome, lying in a hospital bed half-dead just because of a stupid accident caused by a fool.

Being Center, that’s just stupid. Well, you are a fool. Center, it seems that I can’t be involved in your life that much longer. Now, I just need to finish my unfinished business with that overly negative little brat and the problems created by the idiots.

Seriously, I wish those so called adults wouldn’t cause so much trouble for their children when they were the ones that caused the problem to begin with. Even though I solved that problem, there’s more stuff popping up. Them and their stupidity.

“Nezu-chan~ So you’re staying at the same place as me for a bit?” Yuki looks at me curiously.

I nod in response. Somehow, I get the feeling that I won’t be able to lie to her. A dark feeling comes out of her whenever she’s down in the dumps, but it’s really nice when she’s happy. But I don’t want to get too involved with her life.

“Nezu-chan, I’m curious. But Nezumi isn’t your real name right?”

Somehow, I’m actually amazed she caught on. This makes it seem that my impression of AKB is a group of weird people and idiots doesn’t it?  I guess I do think that way, I guess I do. These idiots keep on getting too close to crossing my mental line though.

“I would think that it’s obvious…” Blunt reply.

“Eh... Well, what’s your name, Nezu-chan?”

Yuki had a really stupid [Eh…] reaction, but then she asked me what my name was. I don’t really like my surname. It’s the same as the ‘traitors’, but sadly, I don’t hate them, so it’s a mixed feeling.

“…Ma-yyu”

Thwack, a random person accident hit me with a signboard causing me to mess up on the end part of my name. I knew it; I shouldn’t have opened up so much to her. Now I’m just making excuses, it’s not her fault. I’m just plagued with negativity.

At least the random person apologized afterwards. I’m betting my eyes are really giving off this [Are you serious?] look, but she probably can’t see them with the hoodie in the way. For some reason, all of AKB and SKE that I’ve met so far haven’t messed around with the hoodie.

I clear my throat and answer her again. “My name is Mayu. [麻友]”

“Hrm… Mayu… But I’ll call you Mayuyu because you messed up~”

Seriously? Yuki, you already gave me a nickname, so now it’s Mayuyu? I sent a piercing glare towards the poor guy that ended up hitting me by accident. Like a child, I decide to get some revenge. I guess it is childish, but it’s her fault for being an evil marimokkori that for some reason I find nice. Ok, cut that last part.

“Then, you’ll be Yukirin and the Black Marimokkori.”

Yuki PoV

I don’t like being called Black. That’s because it’s true and a bit hurtful when people say it usually.

“Yukirin and the Black Marimokkori…” Due to the fact that I gave her another nickname, Ne- Mayuyu, decided to take ‘revenge’ in that childish way that kid’s do. Somehow, it doesn’t seem exactly hurtful to be called Black by her, but marimokkori is an interesting way to call an idol.

I lightly flick her on the forehead, or at least where it looks like it. Mayuyu’s fashion sense is interesting, but then again, she might not even care about such things. She pouts and turns my way to view my possibly awkward reaction.

“Pfft” I can hear a light laugh come out of her.

“Mayuyu~” I complain.

I guess this might be a bit bad to be having fun when there’s so much turmoil going on, but it would be bad to be moping around as well. Yuko is missing isn’t she? I saw Haruna when Rena, Takamina, and I were waiting. Well, life is harsh isn’t it?

She keeps on walking in front of me, leaving me behind. But then she turns her petite frame and with her somewhat monotone voice, reaches out for me. “Hey, Yuki-rin, hurry up.” She calls me out of my train of thought with a stutter on the new nickname.

“Hai, coming.”
