Rainbow - Revival 1
Aug. 1st, 2023 03:18 pmSeason: Spring of ES! timeline
Location: Yumenosaki Infirmary
Characters: Chiaki, Jin <Some days later>
Chiaki: Excuuuuuse meeee!
Chiaki Morisawa, nay Ryusei Red… has entered the premises ✰


Jin: …Why are you this energetic. If you’re injured, act like it, Morisawa.
Chiaki: Yes! It’s as you say, Sagami-sensei, I’ll be more careful from now on!
Jin: At least you're responding properly.
…Why are you in your unit outfit exactly. Did you have Ryuseitai activities since early in the morning?
Chiaki: Yup! We were doing “Good Morning Exercises” along the neighborhood school route!
Also, I’m so excited to have inherited the color red that I often wear this outfit even without any reason!
Jin: Huh. I’m guessing you only have one set of that outfit, so don’t go dirtying it too badly now.
Well, whatever… What’s wrong today, did the wound I treated the other day start hurting again?
Let me see for a bit. Sit down over there.
Chiaki: Yes! Ryusei Red, sitting down!
Jin: Your energy is gonna tire me out so please stop. Speak normally. You’re a high schooler already, so you should graduate from playing hero.
Chiaki: Fufun♪ That won’t be a problem, Sagami-sensei. I’m not “playing” after all!
Jin: That’s an even bigger problem, though… Hmm, your wound from the other day was around your knee, wasn’t it?
It appears you’ve pretty much healed, so what are you doing at the infirmary today? Skipping class?
The bell’s gonna ring any minute now, so make sure you go straight to your classroom, okay?
I have to close the infirmary and head on over to class 2-A soon too, or else the students will complain that I’m slacking off again.
…It might be too late to complain at this point, but why exactly am I a homeroom teacher when I’m also the school nurse anyways? Does Yumenosaki Academy have a teacher shortage or something?
Chiaki: Fufu. Sagami-sensei is so reliable, so people end up trusting you with important work. An “ally of justice” takes no days off ♪
Jin: No thank you, I’m not the type to be called an ally of justice, so I’d like to take days off.
…I could have declined the offer if I really didn’t want to do it, but I never was very good at telling people no.
Turning people’s favors down is pretty mentally exhausting in and of itself, after all.
So I prefer to say yes and work hard through the struggle on my own.
Chiaki: Fuhaha♪ As expected of Sagami-sensei, you’re so kind! So you can’t turn down people’s requests, huh, you really do possess heroic qualities!
No, that’s exactly what makes you a legendary hero… Ryusei Rainbow ✰
Jin: You’re the only one who still remembers that name. Y’know, if you want it, I’d gladly give you that stupid nickname any day of the week.
Chiaki: No thank you, I wanna be red!
Jin: Is that so. Well, that color suits you… I’ll disinfect your wound, so shut up for a bit so you don’t bite your tongue.
Chiaki: …Mgh!?
Jin: There you go, your knee is disinfected. You should be fine to wear a bandaid instead of a bandage over it now, just make sure not to get it wet when bathing.
Chiaki: Yes, I’m well aware! I often get injured after all!
Jin: You really are always injured, aren’t you… Are you okay? You’re not being bullied or anything?
Chiaki: No, it’s because I’ve been doing more stunt work recently. I want to make connections with people in the industry, so I’m working on expanding my connections.
It seems like if I get along well with people on-set, more work might come for Ryuseitai as well, after all.
Jin: Hmm. Stunt work, huh. You’re an idol, you know, so you should be the one asking for a stunt man, not working as one.
You’re getting by with small injuries for now, but make sure you’re careful so the worst doesn’t happen.
Retiring due to an accident, illness or injury sometimes feels worse than losing your job because of messing up, you know.
Kunugi-sensei went through something like that, and he’s always bitching about it in the Izakaya.
Chiaki: Oh, did he really? I’m not too familiar with Kunugi-sensei, so I had no idea!
Jin: Yup. Everyone should show more interest in Akiyan.
The general public sure is cruel, they won’t even give anyone the time of day unless they get the gold medal.
Especially people from outside the industry, I don’t think they recognize the fine details that go into niche parts of the idol industry at all.
Chiaki: Exactly! People who aren’t into Tokusatsu shows think that every Kamen R*der is the same Kamen R*der after all!
They don’t get what I’m talking about when I mention stuff like De*ade or A*azon!*
Jin: Actually, that’s pretty much where my knowledge stops as well. Just how many of those shows are there at this point, they’ve been creating too many Kamen R*ders… It sure is a dangerous world to live in for a villain.
Chiaki: Fufu. When you put it like that it makes it sound as if the villains are the ones being bullied, it makes me want to cheer for their side instead.
To save the weak and punish the strong, heroes will always be the allies of the weak ✰
…Owie!?
Jin: N? Oh, Morisawa… Did you hurt your arm? I just noticed, but you’ve got quite the graze there haven’t you?
Chiaki: Yes. I actually came to the infirmary to get this wound treated.
Jin: Say that sooner. Take off your jacket for a bit, lemme see.
Chiaki: Y-yes. I’ll take it off, so please turn around.
Jin: Why. There’s no need to feel embarrassed, we’re both guys… You’re so weird.
Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. Come now, Chiaki-chan take it off, take it off~♪
Chiaki: S, stop it, Sho*ker! Are you drunk again, Sagami-sensei!?**
Jin: Ahaha, I’m just joking.
