Chapter 9: Non-Stop Inspiration[edit | edit source]

Monster:
RAWRRRRR!
Kirara:
Ugh! It's tougher than expected!

Mira & Ao:
Uwaaaaah......
Kirara:
Mira-san, Ao-san, look out!

Mira & Ao:
S-Save us!!
???:
That's enough, vile beast who dares to threaten peace! I'll be your opponent!
Mira:
Eh? Umm......who're you?
???:
I'll explain later. First things first, let's claim our victory over this monster!
Monster:
Gurrrrr....(retreats)
???:
Seems like the danger has left us. Are you hurt?
Mira:
Thank you so much!
Ao:
We would've been done for if we're all alone. You're a great help.
Iri§:
If it means I can be of help, I'm happy to contribute every last ounce of my abilities.
Kirara:
Ah! You're......
Kirara:
Iri§-sensei!
Ao:
......I-Iris?
Kirara:
Correct. I am Iri§. Formerly in the earthly world, I lived my life in disguise as a student......

Mira & Ao:
...........
Iri§:
However, as I seek to weave the irresolute tales inside me, I've now become a traveler who wanders in the another world known as Etoilia.

Mira & Ao:
...........
Ayame:
......Ha, ahaha! I'm just joking! Sorry, I might've gotten a bit hyped up that I got into that weird character......
Kirara:
I knew you're as marvelous as always, Iri§-sensei! You've been gathering inspiration for new stories just like that, haven't you!?
Ayame:
Eh?
Kirara:
Mira-san, Ao-san. Iri§-sensei has written many ingenious and captivating stories.
Mira:
That's so cool! She's like a bard you'd meet in a video game!
Ao:
As expected of another world. Never could you meet someone this great anywhere else.
Ayame:
Ah, uh well, that's...how should I put it......
Kirara:
I'm looking forward to your new work, Sensei!
Mira:
Let me read it too, please!
Ao:
I'd like to read it too!
Shiina:
Vicarious embarrassmeeeeent!!
Shiina:
Cough, cough...I'm sorry......I just couldn't bear to watch.
Ayame:
Shii!
Kirara:
Ah, so you're here too, Shiina-san.
Shiina:
I heard everything in the shade of a tree, Iri§-sensei.
Ayame:
Uhh, Shii......
Shiina:
For this situation, I think it would've gone much better if you stayed in character. I mean, Kirara-san was playing along too......
Ayame:
Are you here just to complicate things for me!!?
Kirara:
What were you two doing here?
Shiina:
We heard there's a place nearby that could perhaps provide us inspiration for the SNS Club's next title.
Iri§:
Ahem! T-The waterside where stardust glitters. We had been straying in search of its glamour.
Kirara:
Ah! Same here.
Iri§:
Through the trees, we had a glimpse of the colorful rays of light......It was like a treasure chest.
Iri§:
For a while, our eyes were glued to the spectacle. However, we heard voices calling for help.
Shiina:
Simply put, while we were writing a scenario by the river, we heard your screams.
Mira:
So that's what happened......Huh, then Iri§-sensei, Shiina-san, have you two spotted "the waterside where stardust glitters"?
Ayame:
Eh, well......Yes, indeed! As the rumors suggested, it was so fantastical that it could draw you in.
Shiina:
It's over there. Would you all like to go take a look?
Ao:
Y-Yes, definitely.
(Transition)
Shiina:
Right here.
Mira:
The lights surrounding the lake are flickering with a pale green hue......What are these?
Ao:
They're......fireflies.
Iri§:
This place is known for its clear waters. In this time of the year, you can spot a swarm of fireflies around.
Mira:
They're so pretty......
Ao:
We don't often get to see this many fireflies together, do we.
Mira:
Ao! Come check this out!! The stones underneath are glittering as they reflect the fireflies' light!
Ao:
They really are. It's like...the Milky Way......
Mira:
What are those stones called? The ones that are reflecting the light.
Ao:
They're in a translucent green. Looks like chrysoprase to me.
TL: (From Wikipedia) Chrysoprase is a gemstone variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of silica, that contains small quantities of nickel. Its color is normally apple-green, but varies to deep green.
Mira:
I want to show this to Sakura-senpai~!
Ao:
If only we can take these back.
Ayame:
Phew. I'm happy that those two seem delighted.
Shiina:
Yeah......though you three wanted to see real stars, don't you? This is probably an unfortunate outcome......
Kirara:
No, not at all. Besides, we'll be going to see the meteor shower tomorrow.
Shiina:
Meteor shower?
Kirara:
Apparently, there's a meteor shower that's only visible from a beach town up ahead.
Ayame:
Huh! That's news to me!
Kirara:
I'm sure we'll be able to see real stars there.
Mira:
Heeey, Kirara-chaaan! The water's cool and refreshing here~
Mira:
Get over here too~!
Kirara:
Coming!
Shiina:
Aya, have you seen enough fireflies?
Ayame:
The promised site where people look up at meteor showers, stars visible only in one night......It's coming to me. The inspiration's coming to me......Fwheh!
Shiina:
......The deadline for the plot won't be postponed because of this, just saying.
