An Oath to  Maple Leaves

Live Stage

Rei: “Once again, good afternoon. I was looking forwards to the day I would meet everyone. I’m very happy that we’re able to go on a live show in Canada where we’re surrounded rich nature.”

Makio:“While learning more about this country, we grew liking maple! Similar to the pleasure that we received from everyone loving maple, we’ll deliver a lovely time!”

(In that live, I thought about in what way I could convey the magnificence of cakes, but…  It’s the same as having various raw materials, there must be various way to communicate! First, using the english that Rei-kun taught me…!)

“Everyoooone! Do you like maple~? I love maple too! But I also love cakes too… That’s why, with everyone, let’s make Maple Cake and Response! Let’s go!”

Rei: (...Huhu, amazing. We can hear cheers saying “cake” and “sweet”. Uzuki-san’s feelings of love for cakes have certainly reached them.)

Makio: “Huhu, thank you! If you have suggestions of maple cakes, please, inform me without fail!”

Rei: (Next is my turn. Now, I’ll put this enjoyable feeling into the cheers…!)

Nao: That’s an amazing cheer…! It seems that if we sing together, it will lightly shake the maple trees!

Makio: In addition, the sweet~ odor of the maple syrup will spread throughout the venue...

Huhu, my cheeks are loose.

Hayato:  We can go on such a live show only in Canada!  Everyone, the maple, and us too, we are the best! Let’s be more and more in high spirits!

Rei: (... As expected, that’s a good thing. It means we convey the things we put our heart in. Now I’m an idol… This sensation doesn’t change from the time I was a violinist. I want to share the fun of resonating sounds with more people…!)

“Come now, let’s sing together!”

After the end of the live

Makio: Is, is it really okay to accept everything!?

Rei: That’s amazing, right? There’s an assortment of sweets using maple syrup… Hm? There are also key holders shaped like a maple leaf.

Hayato: According to the Producer, it’s the venue staff thanking us for giving a fun live show… These words make me happy more than anything…! We conveyed our feelings perfectly!

Nao: Yes…! Ehehe, it was such a fun thing to convey our exciting feelings to everyone…!

Hayato: Yeah! But it was very fun, so when I thought it was over, I was a bit sad...

Makio: Ahaha, don’t do such a face! Besides… I doesn’t mean it’s over with this, right? Because we’re idols! Let’s come back here again one day!

Nao: Again one day… That’s right. I’ll do my best from now on in order to being able to go on a live show here with everyone again!

Rei: Yes. And at that time, surely we’ll see again a different scenery than now.

Hayato: I see… That’s right! Hehe, I’ll have fun from now on! I swear to this maple leaf, I’ll do my best for the next job!

Fin

The Sweet of Smiles

Sugar Shack

Hayato: Aaah, it was delicious! Looks like I’m addicted to...Huh? Haha, it seems that the children around are also within the dream of the maple taffy.

Makio: That’s true. Everyone has a good smile.

Rei: Yes. During our live too, I would like to make smile that way the spectators who came

Nao: Smiles… That’s right! For that too, as expected, I’ll do my b...Ah.

FLASHBACK

Rei: “Indeed, animals are aware of people’s heart. Your feeling of wanting to be friends with him surely reached the horse.”

END OF FLASHBACK

Hayato: Nao, what’s happening?

Nao: Ah, I’m sorry…! I just remembered the things when I examined Mister Horse...

Makio: The horse… That carriage at the carriage terminal?

Nao: Yes…! At this time, I had feelings. My feelings have been transmitted to my partner’s heart. So, rather than to be impatient, we should have more fun, and make everyone smile… It’s surely good to consider it that way…!

Rei: ...Huhu, that’s right. We will definitely transmit our heart inside our performances and songs into our partners’ hearts.

Makio: Yes, I think that too. If we want to share enjoyable feelings with everyone, we should enjoy it from our heart!

Hayato: Right! Let’s enjoy it with all our energy, the way we seem to be us! Nevertheless… Listening to the current talk, I’m thinking about it again, but Rei-san, you really think about people around you carefully!

Rei: Do I…? Being told that directly, somehow it’s embarrassing…

(...But, certainly, I had a lot of time to think about people around me, including Tsuzuki-san. Before I became an idol, I was suspicious of people around me… I’m happy.)

Nao: Hehehe. Rei-kun, you’re smiling like when you ate the maple taffy.

Rei: Is, Is that so? But...It’s a reality that maple taffies make everyone smile.

Makio: Fufu. Then, Maple taffy will be the sweet we make? Thanks to that, it appears again that we’ll do a live where everyone will smile… Besides, I didn’t eat enough of it yet!

Hayato: Haha. Somehow, it may be good with the feeling of our bonds’ proof! If it’s good with everyone, let’s make them quickly!

To be continued….

Sugar Shack

Hayato: The maple syrup is complete! ...Is everyone ready to eat it?

Nao: Yes! My, my heart is beating fast. If it’s a failure, what should we do...

Makio: It’s alright. it must be delicious! Because the feelings of our Maple water are packed in!

Rei: Somehow, it becomes a very big story...[1]

Hayato: Hahaha! Well, then, everyone together…!

Everyone: It’s, it’s delicious…!!

Makio: This, it is Canada’s sweet jewel!

Hayato: Yes, I can eat it a lot! There’s a use to do our best to make it!

Rei: Certainly, it’s a very tender and sweet taste…

...Hm?

Nao: Ah…! The people around are laughing, watching at us… Are, are we disturbing them?

Hayato: Eh!? Ah, it’s true…! Sorry!

(Uuuh, we got too much tension...We’re a bit childish now. We came to Canada, and even though we have to calm down more and show great places…!)

Makio: It was delicious so we were in high spirits. Me too, I’ll take care from now on…! Nevertheless...Huhu.

By no means, we’ll use that maple syrup to make sweets, right. While making them, I want to put our gratitude of giving us authorisation to the staff of the sugar shack staff.

Nao: That’s right! They helped us in various way when making the maple syrup…… But we haven’t decided what to make yet, right…?

Makio: Yes. I would like a cake using maple syrup! Nao-kun, what sweet would you like?

Nao: Eh, m, me? Hm… I think a Japan-like thing inside would be good. What about using red bean paste, for example…?

Hayato: Red bean paste, it’s certainly Japan-like. I want to make an amazing sparkling sweet!

Rei: An a, amazing sweet? Any plan seems to be interesting but...

(Each directions are dispersed. It’ll be good if we could agree… Hm?)

What’s on that desk is...?

To be continued...

Hayato: We’re finally here, Canada!

Nao: Ehehe, the landscape is also completely different from Japan! There are a lot of high mountains towards the back...

Rei: Indeed. Thinking that we’ll be able to do a live in this vast land, I’m looking forward to it.

Makio: I hope all Canadian fans will get excited too.

...Say, Hayato-kun. What’s happening? Your eyes are wet...

Hayato: Uuuh...I came to realize that we were finally able to do a live abroad.

I’m more excited than usual! As idols of 315Production, we need to show them great places!

Nao: That, that’s right! And it looks like that a lot of people will come to this live.

Rei: Indeed. It looks like the “Maple Syrup Festival” will be hosted in the place where we are right now.

Makio: We’re surrounded by a lot of sweet aromas! I want to taste the true Maple Syrup soon.

Hayato: Haha, you wrote a memo about what you wanted to eat before leaving Japan!

Nao: Makio-kun, it seems fun.I need to imitate you too...

Rei: Imitate?

Nao: Ah, yes…!

I’m nervous since we took the plane...

That...I’m happy when I think that people who don’t know us will come to see us, but… Uuuuh

Rei: I see.  Certainly, I can’t say that I know the feeling but… Our thoughts should be transmitted through songs and dances.

Hayato: It’s like Rei-san says!

Let’s deliver our song with all our strength to everyone in this country!

Makio: Yes. Besides, I think that people coming from the country that loves Maple Syrup will surely understand cake enthusiasts!

Rei: Uzuki-san… It looks persuasive, but it isn’t...

Hayato: Haha, it’s so Makio! Well, I also can’t say that I understand that feeling of nervousness, but… Like everyone says, it will surely be alright!

Nao: Everyone… I see, that’s right! Ehehe, thank you!

Rei: Huhu, your smile is back. But...For the live to be a success, we need to learn more details about this country.

In particularly, it would be good to actually taste their speciality the Maple Syrup. If that’s the case...

Hayato: It seems good to visit the food stands of this festival! Then, without delay…

...Huh, what’s happening, Producer?

Makio: There’s a good way to learn about Maple Syrup…? Is it by any chance…!

Nao: Waaw…! We can experience the creation of Maple Syrup together!

Makio: Well, can we bring back home the syrup we made!? Once back, I would like Soichiro-san to use it and make a cake…!

Hayato: Haha. In a way, watching Makio reminds me of Haruna.

Rei: Uzuki-san’s passion for cakes is amazing. For 30 seconds, I would like for Tsuzuki-san to have an interest for food...

(... Does he have dinner properly? He said it would be alright but… I’m worried.)

Nao: It’s, it’s surely alright! Kei-san succeeded in his live in Germany.

Hayato: That’s right!

Besides, surely he’s surely looking forward to what kind of live Rei-san will do.

Rei: … Huhu, that too is right. If it’s the case, I’ll have to be focused even more on the live.

Makio: Yes! With the power of us four together, let’s deliver the best live to everyone in Canada!
