Oh. Why do you keep him around then? Is he getting better?

[Annoying and not talented. BYE.]

[syunsyun]

I guess the president has his reasons.

[ The president is a strange person. ]

[staminaroll]

You have a president?

Do you have a coach or is he your coach?

[syunsyun]

Yeah, the president of Noel Japan Agency. And he's not a coach. Besides, I guess Tesshi would be closer to that, but he's more our manager.

[staminaroll]

[Furuya's slowly aligning these roles with Seido's management in his head, and the cat is slowly relocating herself into Shun's lap. Hello there.]

Our managers don't really do that kind of thing, they're more there to support us. I guess it's different where you guys are already professionals, though.

[syunsyun]

[ ...He's stuck. There's a gigantic cat on his lap. ]

Uh. We're only kind-of pros, really.

[staminaroll]

[Could always try to move her... good luck. She's thumping her head on his shoulder, demanding attention.]

But it's not a school club, is it? So it's more than that.

[syunsyun]

No, we don't even go to the same schools.

[ Three of the others go to private schools, Shun goes to a public one. And the last one doesn't go to school at all. ]

We're hired, but we haven't debuted yet.

[staminaroll]

[The idea of a team that isn't based on school affiliation is kind of an odd one but then there is one word that's very different that he can't help but notice. Hired.]

Do you get paid? Or that like getting drafted but you don't get paid until you debut?

[There's a whole process. He had no idea.]

[syunsyun]

[ They're not really a team though. They're not even friends. ]

Yeah, we get paid. It's a lot of work just getting routines and songs memorized properly and I don't know if it's how all agencies work, but Noel Japan Agency pays us.

[staminaroll]

So you're a professional that way. You get paid for what you're doing, even if it's just practice.

[That's the dream. Get paid for practicing baseball... if only.]

[syunsyun]

[ Excuse you, playing baseball is not the same as being in showbiz. ]

I guess, I haven't thought of it that way.

[staminaroll]

[Not really all that different either, though, but idols don't even have to compete!]

Well, do you have another job or just the rehearsals and performances?

[syunsyun]

[ Sure they do, just not the same way. They have to sell and stay interesting or they're dead to the world of showbiz. There's a lot of competing in different ways, just not in sport matches. ]

Like I would have time for that. I don't exactly have any free time with school and the agency.

[staminaroll]

Then that's your only job and you get paid for it. You got picked to do it and you're good enough that they want you to keep doing it. What else do you need to be a professional?

[syunsyun]

Debut. We haven't had our debut yet.
