(Dolce) Chika Tohmi - Part 2

[flair]

After calling for Helpman, the person who appears is...!?! Many thanks to Mola (manbouwords) for proofing this for me once again! And thank you Theater Club for being so... themselves.



Chika: Helpman! Helpman! HELPMAAAAAAN!

Chizuru: Wait, who've you been calling for?

What wrong, Chika-chan? If anything's bothering you, you can come to Oneesan for advice!

Uhyaah!?

S-Someone came in?!

Oh, if I'm not mistaken, you're the transfer student... The Student Council's errand boy, I guess?

Are you Helpman? What's "Helpman" anyway...!?

Chika: Spr~ong, Helpmaaan ♪

Eheheh, Chizu-chan-senpai started talking about something troublesome, you see?

Help me, please ♪ Pleeeaase protect my spoiled child lifestyle~ ♪

Chizuru: Hey, Chika-chan!

Just a reminder that he's a guy, so you can't just cling to him like that!

What's he to you anyway? Your b-b-b-boyfriend?

Chika: Mmmm, not really?

It was on a rainy day...

Chizuru: What's with that far-off look!?

Chika: It was pouring, but... I didn't have an umbrella, so I was plum out of luck.

That's when I remembered Chizu-chan-senpai telling me the rumors about Helpman.

Chizuru: Huh? Me? What did I say?

Chika: Chizu-chan-senpai, who always took on a lot of work, had a really helpful boy around.

That student who's famous at school for going around and helping out people in trouble in his spare time!

AKA Helpman! ...Within this school year, he's become pretty famous.

Chizuru: Ah, guess I did now that you mention it...

It seems that he'll do any kind of work no matter how much of a pain it is.

Well, glad to have you with us! Once in a while, there's heavy stuff you can lift for me, I guess ♪

Chika: What's Chizu-chan-senpai's is mine, and what's mine is mine...!

Wait, could it be that you didn't even consider...

... that this guy was here to save me?

And that's why, on that rainy day...

Just to see what'd happen, I called out, "Save me! Helpman!"

And then this guy appeared like a knight from a fairytale and lent me an umbrella! ♪

Ever since then, whenever I've got some trouble, I've called for him ♪

Chizuru: Th-that kind of reason is...!

I'm so sorry that my junior's been such a hassle!

Chika: That's right. Apologize a whooole lot, please.

Since Chizu-chan-senpai hasn't been spoiling me,

this boy's workload's increased a bunch, you know?

Chizuru: Don't you have the option to put in the effort yourself, I guess!?

Chika: No way, I hate bothersome stuff.

Helpman~, since I called for you I got all thirsty ♪ Help me out ♪

Chizuru: Woah, he actually went and bought some tea that fast!?

Chika: Helpman~, when I say "tea," it's gotta be black tea!

And it's gotta come with melon bread or it's no bueno!

Chizuru: Chika-chan, you're being way too selfish!

Chika: Helpman~, I'm tired, so pleaaase lend me your shoulder ♪

Chizuru: I can't even guess how you can be tired if you haven't even done anything in particular!?

Chika: Yaaawn... What a nice boy... He sure is useful ♪

As long as this boy's here, I might not even need Chizu-chan-senpai anymore...

Chizuru: Huuuuuuh? What could this FOMO-like feeling be...!?

G-Guh! I guess it's weirdly irritating....!

And you! You can't spoil Chika-chan too much, I guess!

If you keep it up, I guess she's gonna become a useless child who can't do anything by herself~!

Chika: Spr~ong ♪ Chizu-chan-senpai, quit doing nothing but complaining and come over here~♪.

And then you can work Helpman to the bone with me~?

It's really fuuun. Let's be useless together~♪

Chizuru: G-Guh! That sort of temptation won't work on me, I guess!

Because I — I love working hard!

... Wait, huh? Chika-chan? What're you wearing?



Chika: Hmm?

Ohh...?

What... is this?

Helpman, did you change my clothes while I was resting on your shoulder?

Chizuru: I guess that'd be the costume for this show's leading lady!

Chika-chan....☆

You're finally willing to play the part! Oneesan's so happy ♪

Chika: Th-that's not...!

Spr-Spr~ong! What is this- it won't come off!

It's like it's tailored to me perfectly so that it won't slip!

Spr~ong! So you've betrayed me, Helpman! Even though I've trusted you!

Chizuru: Amazing...!

While you were granting Chika-chan's unreasonable demands,

you also sneakily finished fitting for the play's costume...!

I guess you're that kind of person, Helpman!

Huh? Minami-san from the Art Club asked you to come and take measurements?

Yup, it fits her just right, I guess!

Gooosh, I thought your appearance was way too convenient, Helpman-kun(?), but you were planning on coming to our clubroom in the first place, huh?

It suits you~, Chika-chan!

You totally look like a princess from the Land of Sweets ♪

Chika: Spr-Spr~ong!

I don't wanna be the princess of some land that's ripe with diabetes!

Chizuru: I got it...!

Oneesan's seen the light, I guess!

It's not about one-sidedly giving demands...

In the first place, if you grant someone's wish, then a troublesome thing should be taken care of for you as a reward, at the very least!

That's what "give and take" is, after all! I'll keep that in mind, Helpman-kun!!

Chika: Spr~ong, no way!

Taking's only good when I'm the one doing it - a life where 100% of everything's given to me is the ideeeaaal!

Chizuru: Alright, it's about time! Let's practice for the play this way!

Don't worry, I'll go change into costume too!

That way neither of us'll be embarrassed, I guess! That's "give and take"...!

I've memorized it perfectly, I guess! How to handle Chika-chan...☆

Chika: I'm not even getting anything out of this~ It's just "give" on my eeeend~!

Spr~ong, save me, Helpman! Helpmaaaan, it's such a pain~!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaah, I didn't ask for any of this?

Please oh please, protect my spoiled child lifestyle~!
