Sakuta and Uzuki hopped off the car at Kamiooka, but the next car also had high schoolers talking about her commercial. Three boys, this time.

“Her voice is so good!”

“And she’s cute.”

“You gonna buy that magazine?”

“You first.”

It was way too early for that energy. Horny energy.

They ended up getting off again at the next stop, Kanazawa-bunko Station, before moving to a third car.

“It’s like a secret date,” Uzuki said, grinning. But Sakuta was Mai’s boyfriend, and their current situation was mildly nerve-racking.

Regardless of his true reasons, if he was spotted with Uzuki now, people would think he was her boyfriend, and all kinds of bullshit stories would circulate. He really wasn’t up to facing accusations of two-timing.

Once they finally reached Kanazawa-hakkei Station, he let out a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

They passed the gates and went down the stairs to the west exit.

Almost everyone walking this way was in college. Or faculty.

“That’s some impact,” he said.

The night before, he had not expected it to change things this much.

“Yeah,” Uzuki said, agreeing with his consternation but not looking all that thrown by it. Why would she be? This was just another success stemming from the career she’d built. She’d finally gotten a chance to make her popularity explode, so that would mostly feel like a good thing. Train rides might become a tad more difficult, but she’d live.

“It’s a one-way trip to Koshien.”

“That’s baseball, Sakuta.”

“The Japan National Stadium?”

“That’s soccer.”

“Hanazono?”

“Rugby.”

“Ah, then it must be Ryogoku.”

“So close, but that one’s sumo.”

Uzuki nailed every single reference, fully aware he was doing a bit. She matched his timing perfectly. The old Uzuki would have just asked, “Why Koshien?” and made things awkward for him. How many times had she made him explain his own jokes?

“I’m trying to get to the Budokan,” she added. Well aware he knew that.

“Is it getting any closer?”

“That’s a good question,” she said, straightening up. With the mask on, subtle expressions were hard to catch, but her tone of voice and the way her eyes stared straight ahead made it clear she wasn’t going easy on anything.

Sakuta wasn’t exactly caught up on the inner workings of the idol industry, but her attitude showed just what a big deal the Budokan was. At the very least, it wasn’t the kind of place Uzuki currently felt like promising she’d get to, even in jest. She was picking her words carefully.

“Why Budokan anyway?”

“As long as we had a goal, I didn’t mind where it was.”

“Oh?”

“I told you before, right?”

“What?”

“How I stopped making friends in junior high.”

“Yeah.”

“So everyone in Sweet Bullet meant a lot to me. More than friends.”

Only Uzuki could know how important they were. So Sakuta said nothing. He had no right to say he understood.

“Aika and Matsuri may have graduated, but the rest…Nodoka, Yae, Ranko, and Hotaru. I still want to go there with them. Together.”

The last word was a whisper. Which made it clear that was what really mattered here.

And the success of this commercial would put the wind in their sails, hopefully helping them achieve their goal.
