I Was Supposed to Be Giving Love Advice on the School Radio, but Before I Knew It, the Beautiful Girls at School Were Hitting on Me
The two walk on stage, illuminated by many lights, waving their hands.
In an instant, the voltage of the venue goes up. Cries that can neither be described as cheers nor screams fill the hall.
“Wow ! ! !”
I shout in excitement, letting the momentum of the event carry me along.
“Toyama chan ! You’re so cute !”
“Makise san ! You look great today !”
“Toyama chan, nice voice you have today !:
Cheers flying from all over the place.
The MC for Heart Lady Night is Makise san, who has a calm voice of an old man, and Toyama chan, who has a lot of energy, but Toyama chan is the one who gets most of the cheers. The audience was mostly male, so many of them probably came for her.
The two on stage did not make a sound at all. Perhaps surprised by the unexpected response, they looked at each other.
Oh dear, these geeks don’t know how to cheer, I’ll have to set an example for them…….
“Toyama chan ! Makise san ! Let us hear your wonderful voice today !”
This is the proper way to cheer. It’s the best way to make it easier for the first word to be uttered.
“Kageyama kun’s cheering is strange…..”
“No way !?”
When I looked at her in surprise, I saw Kitahara, who looked like she was having a good time.
When I returned my gaze to the stage, I saw the two of them holding microphones.
“Everyone ! Konradio~!”
“Konradio~!”
The audience greeted in unison. The not-too-small hall shakes with the loud sound.
“All right ! Then, let’s start the special edition of Heart Lady Night, the public recording !”
“Yaaaay ! ! !”
The hall was filled with a sense of unity; the two MCs nodded their heads in satisfaction and sat down in their prepared seats.
The jingle played again.
“Yes, let’s start again ! Today, July 14, we would like to go to Heart Lady Night for the first time ! What a surprise, this time it will be an open recording at Emiplus ! Let’s have fun, everybody !”
“Wooooo ! ! !”
“Hoooo !”
We responded to Makise san’s call with all our might. Kitahara, sitting next to me, is also shyly raising her arms in a small gesture.
“Is this what a public radio recording is like? I thought it would be more quiet.”
“The reason is that……radio is an underground genre that doesn’t get a lot of exposure, so I think it’s more exciting than usual.”
“I certainly agree with that.”
For some reason, Kitahara looked at me and nodded. Why? I’m still one of the normal people…I guess.
“Oh man, Toyama chan, I’m so glad so many guests came !”
“It’s true ! Everyone seemed to be having a good time?”
[ [ [Yay ! !] ] ]
“Hey hey, this is a radio show ! It’s like a live show !”
“Oops….”
The audience laughed.
“Now, let’s pull ourselves together and do our best today on Heart Lady Night !”
[ [Wooo !] ]
The two MCs raised their hands lightly, and the show began.
♢
The open recording proceeded smoothly. Makise san calmly commented on Toyama chan’s story.
“I knew she had great speaking ability……”
The audience was filled with laughter. Although it wasn’t as exciting as the opening, it still got the crowd excited.
I took a notepad in one hand and took notes on what I thought would be useful as a member of the broadcast club.
“Fufu.”
To my delight, I hear Kitahara giggling beside me.
“This is the first time I’ve been to an open recording, but it’s hilarious.”
Kitahara puts her face a little closer to me so that I can hear her better amidst the cheers, and her voice is strained.
“Really !?”
“Yes, it’s kind of strange to see all these people I’ve always heard by ear standing right in front of me.”
Kitahara is smiling with satisfaction. I’m glad, I’m relieved too.
“Now then, on to the Letter Corner !”
“Yay !”
“I’d like to say, but this time it’s a special edition ! I’d like to solicit questions from the audience at the open recording !”
[ [ [Whoaaa ! ] ] ]
Makise san extends his hand toward us. The audience’s voltage rose another notch.
“Here it comes ! The best part of the day ! The main event of the main events !”
“Hey, you’re getting a little over-excited.”
“No, no, no, I’m just saying, how can I not be excited? What do you think, Kitahara? Have you thought about what you’re going to ask?”
“Well……”
Kitahara made a little thoughtful gesture when I asked her. Then she stared at me. What is it? Is it something to do with me?
“Well, I’ve sort of made up my mind.”
“I-I see…..”
Kitahara gave a small nod. Kitahara’s question, what on earth is it……
“Kageyama kun, by the way, what about you? Have you got one?”
“No, the thing is…..”
Brrrrr.
I was about to answer that question when a cell phone rang. The ringtone was not mine, it was Kitahara.
She took her phone out of her bag, checked the incoming call and…..gave a small sigh.
“Sorry, Kageyama kun, can I have a quick phone call?”
“O-oh, I don’t mind…..”
“Don’t worry, my mom is just a worrier. I’ll be right back.”
I was worried because she was sighing, but there was no sign of any displeasure on Kitahara’s face; rather, she seemed to say, “Well, it can’t be helped.”
“But if that’s the case, I’ll go with you. It’s not safe to go alone.”
If a playboy like the one I saw earlier shows up again, she’ll be in trouble.
But Kitahara shook her head.
“The security guard seemed to have driven away the people who came earlier, and I can handle it on my own.”
“But……”
“You were looking forward to the public recording, weren’t you? I’ll be back soon, so have fun, Kageyama kun.”
With that said, Kitahara parted the crowd and slipped off somewhere by herself.
I wonder if she’s okay…….
”Well then, anyone with a question, raise your hand !”
“Ah.”
I was distracted by Kitahara, and before I knew it, the question corner had started. I desperately tried to raise my hand, but it was already too late.
By the time I realized it, many hands had already gone up.
“Well then, the gentleman with the red hoodie and glasses ! Ask your question !”
Toyama chan pointed at another person, and the man also asked a question about the funniest letter he had ever received without any difficulty.
And so the same kind of crap went on several times. The content varied, sometimes it was a normal radio-like letter, and other times it was a fast speech.
“I was getting pretty tired after answering so many different questions……”
“I guess it’s time for the last question.”
“I guess so. Then you can choose the last one, Toyama chan.”
The last person can be chosen by Makise san.
I know it’s a tough battle, but I’m going to raise my hand.
“The man in the back with his hand up, the one wearing a white T-shirt and gray outerwear !”
The last one is a white T-shirt and gray outerwear……well, yeah, right. I knew it, but there’s no way I could hit a jackpot ……
Thinking this, I looked around and noticed that everyone was looking in my direction for some reason. ….Eh?
I checked my outfit again and found that I was wearing a white T-shirt and a light gray jacket.
…..For real?
As I looked around, unable to understand what was going on, a staff member appeared out of nowhere and handed me the microphone. Not understanding what was going on, I took the microphone and turned to face the front, where Toyama chan was looking my way.
“Then, you, there, Sir ! Stand up and ask your question !”
I stood up, receiving resentful glances from the audience around me.
“Erm………Makise san, Toyama san, Konradio……”
“Konradio !”
Toyama chan replies with her usual intensity. But now she is facing me.
“Um, well, I usually send letters from here under the name Sangenjaya…”
“Oh, Sangenjaya ! I know, I know ! You send me some pretty interesting letters, don’t you !”
“Oh, yeah…..?”
“Yeah, I didn’t think you were this young !”
I thought it would be rude not to mention my name, so I commented, and Toyama chan, who seemed to recognize me, gave me a look of genuine surprise. …Oh my, I’m grinning.
No, that’s not it !
“Well, about your question…….”
After saying that, I realized for the first time that I hadn’t been thinking about anything.
What should I ask you about…. should I talk about Heart Lady? Or should I talk about the radio show I’m doing now? Or…
And then I saw the seat next to me. The seat next to the now blank one, the one that hadn’t been back for a while since she said she was going to call her mother.
As I stared blankly at that seat, where not even my bag was left, I remembered what had just happened.
Kitahara accepted my invitation today. I don’t know how interested she is in this radio show, but she came along. For some reason, it’s because she started talking to Kitahara at school. The reason why she started talking to her is…
—Kitahara told me that my radio show was interesting.
I have been working hard to exceed my seniors in the broadcasting club, but there were times when it was hard.
But Kitahara told me that my radio was interesting. She always listened and told me what he thought. That saved me more than anything else.
So, what I should be asking here is:…..
“Well, Sangenjaya? Have you decided on your question?”
Toyama chan asked anxiously. I quickly looked up at her.
“Please tell me how to cure my shyness…how to talk to people well.”
