EPISODE 14: Recruitment Test

Hmph!

Ukita Ren is the new member of Eternal Boys?!

Of course not, Fatty!

I'm the one who invited Ren over.

He's had some problems so we're going to be taking care of him for a while.

He's currently taking a break from school because of a problem he had with his friends.

So his parents asked me for help.

They thought it would be better for Ren

if he were somewhere our staff could look after him rather than leaving him home alone.

I see.

Then who is the new member...?

Ah!

Pepe-chan?

Oh!

-Nicolai! -Nicolai-san!

Nicolai-san is the new member?

That's right. So try to get along with him!

Kakizaki!

You're deciding things on your own again!

I'm sorry!

Do you know what's going on, Nicolai-san?

Kakizaki-san only mentioned it the other day...

Please actually explain to us what's going on!

Of course I will!

During my next live stream,

I'll explain everything to both you and the fans!

[LIVE] New member announcement

Five minutes till stream.

ETERNAL BOYS

Hello, Eternal Boys.

Good morning. I'm your producer, M. Kakizaki.

Kakizaki-san? what's going on? it's so dark It's 8pm he looks imposing A new member!?

Kakizaki-san...

That pose seems familiar.

Quiet.

I have good news for you today.

A new member of Eternal Boys has been chosen.

This is Nicolai Asakura-kun.

Nicolai Asakura is an extremely talented person.

He's scary! Nicolai! what's happening right now? Who? Who is he!? Oooooh Who's he? He looks scary

I'm sure he would be a great asset to you if he joins Eternal Boys.

But that's only if he joins you.

Huh?

We don't know if he's going to join?

Eternal boys is a professional idol group.

All of the members went through a rigorous audition process to get here.

"Rigorous"?

Should that really be called that "rigorous"?

So, of course Nicolai will also have to go through a rigorous audition process as well.

That's why, at the end of this month, I reserved the stage at Hatakeyama shopping mall.

Isn't Hatakeyama shopping mall...

The one where no one came...

It left us all traumatized...

That place was horrible!

That's right!

I know it was a very humiliating experience for the Eternal Boys.

But I'd like to see you go back and get your revenge on that stage.

Revenge?

This is an image of StoLove holding concert there a few days ago.

Wow!

Now, this same sight!

I want the new Eternal Boys with Nicolai to show it to me!

Huh?!

We need that many people?!

Without, Kakizaki-san?

That will be hard...

If you don't get that amount of people watching,

I'll take that to mean he wasn't accepted as a new member and his invitation to join will be rescinded.

But if you do get that many people, then he will be accepted as the new Eternal Boy.

Whether Nicolai becomes an Eternal Boy or not is entirely up to you.

Good luck.

This live stream has ended.

What should we do?

I don't think we have an option...

So we have to perform there again?

While the venue is one thing,

shouldn't we ask Asakura-san what he thinks about it first?

Nicolai-san,

do you want to join Eternal Boys?

Actually, I use ta work as a host with Kakizaki-san.

What? Really?

Back then, he r'lly took care o' me.

So if Kakizaki-san wants me to be an Eternal Boy,

I want to try my best!

And I also love Eternal Boys!

I ken that Eternal Boys are the best idols, who make people smile!

We're not the best...

Flattery will get you nowhere.

O' course, I also ken ev'rythin' you guys went through too.

So I don't take this lightly.

I don't want ta cause you guys any trouble!

I just want to try doing this with you all!

I'm gonna do my best!

What do you all think? He's so enthusiastic about doing this!

I think we should try our best to make Asakura-san a member of the group!

Let's do everything we can to make the concert at the end of this month a success!

Yeah, I agree!

Let's do our best!

Let's do this!

We'll leave Kakizaki-san speechless!

You guys...

Yeah!

[Live] Introducing, N, the new member of Eternal Boys

Hello everyone!

We're Eternal Boys!

Today we're going to be introducing the new member who will be replacing Kakizaki-san to you!

He's a nice guy who can sing and dance!

He's kindhearted and tough boy!

and his name is Nicolai Asakura!

H-h-hello... everyone. I'm Nicolai Asakura.

I-I, Nicolai, w-will do my best to f-fill the hole left by Kakizaki-san!

I'll be sure ta, I mean... I will become number oun!

Ah... Starting tomorrow we're going to be uploading videos to introduce him!

If you like him, please come to our concert at the end of this month!

Time to say goodbye, Nicolai.

H-Here's looking at you, squid!

Ah!

I mean, kid!

This live stream has ended.

It's over So disappointing. I don't want a replacement for Kakizaki-san.

This was sudden. You're kidding me. Nicolai is too mysterious What the hell was that?

Squid!? That was a disaster. Will the Eternal Boys be okay? Now I'm worried Kakizaki-san, come back!

This isn't good...

Well, don't worry about it!

That's right, they'll get used to you soon!

What is it, Ishida?

I don't think we're doing this the right way.

What do you mean?

I don't think Nicolai-san can ever fill the hole left by Kakizaki-san.

I knew it, I'm not good enough!

Hey, Ishida-san!

That was too mean!

That's not what I mean.

If you'll allow me to speak an idol fan,

what I mean is that the fans don't want Nicolai-san to be Kakizaki-san's replacement.

He's the Nicolai-san who has had a whole bunch of different jobs and experiences.

The Nicolai-san who uses a jumble of dialects.

The Nicolai-san that Pepe-chan loves.

I think it's important that we show Nicolai-san just the way he is.

I think it would be best for Nicolai-san to just be himself.

You want me ta be myself?

Even though you're not getting requested to serve anyone, stop trying to imitating me.

It will be okay.

Just be yourself, Pickles Nikotarou!

Oh!

Kakizaki-san told me that once before.

I'm gonna try my best bein' myself!

ETERNAL BOYS 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS

Oh! You're good, Nicolai!

I built muscle when I was workin' in construction!

He's got amazing muscles! He's actually cool He's so strong! Wow!

Asazuke, furuzuke, bubuzuke, and bettara!

There's also shibazuke and kasuzuke!

Go ahead and try them all!

It's good!

Pickles are full o' lactic acid bacteria so they're great for digestion!

Pepe-chan!

Pepe-chan likes it when you do this!

Wow!

You're amazing!

Huh? No way! That's amazing! Pepe-chan actually likes him!

I'll be his fan since he likes cats!

And so... we steadily made progress preparing for our concert at the shopping mall.

Nicolai had no trouble learning the song and dance.

Are we ready?

We did everything we could.

This won't be like last time!

Thanks for ev'rythin' you've done for me, guys!

Don't matter if there's an audience or not, I'm gonna give it my all on stage!

Let's go!

Nicolai!

He's so handsome! I love him!

Hello ev'ryone! Nice ta meet cha!

I am Nicolai Asakura!

And...

We're Eternal Boys!

♪Now grab hold of that wonderful world!♪

Isn't he good? The new member, Nicolai.

♪If I lose focus I'll fall down in an instant, no♪

He is.

He has a nice smile.

♪When you're at the very front lines, there's no turning back♪

Hey! What is this?!

These are the nukadoko that I use for pickling!

I stir them every day to make delicious pickles!

Th-that smell sure is something...

Just because you've become a member doesn't mean you can just do whatever you-... Wah!

This is chaos.

Ren-kun seems to be in a bad mood...

Yeah... it seems he didn't get a call back for an audition again...

By "again" do you mean...

It's been happening for a while now.

He's probably entered the difficult stage for a child actor...
