Title: HEROES THEATRE ~Part: Matori~

 

Characters: Matori

 

Summary: The chibi illustrations and short stories start this month! It looks like the six people from the NCD are getting fired up about horoscopes for this first round ♪
 

 

 

On this peaceful lunch break, the guys become fascinated over one madam.

 

Aoyama: Hm? Did she go off to lunch leaving the files all open on her desk?

 

Yui: Look closely, Itsuki. This magazine belongs to her. 

 

Aoyama: Magazine?

 

Natsume: Oh right, she made a surprised face saying, “These horoscopes are amazingly right on the mark!” while looking at that before.

 

Watabe: Ooh~ Horoscopes? What’s this all about? Sounds interesting so let us oldies in on it a little too.

 

Seki: Watabe, by “oldies”, do you mean me as well… ?

 

Watabe: Don’t fight the fact, Daisuke-kun.

 

Seki: …… Don’t give me that admonishing look.

 

Aoyama: It’s certainly left open on the horoscope page.

 

Seki: If it’s her personal belongings, then isn’t it wrong of us to look at it without her permission?

 

Natsume: Oh, but she did say, “Anyhow, it’s spot on so let’s do everyone’s fortune later!” before.

 

Watabe: Don’t tell me… you were imitating her voice this whole time with that?

 

Natsume: Wasn’t I quite pitch perfect with it?

 

Aoyama: “Madam Seiko’s Horoscope Divination” …… So she’s the fortune teller who’s already at the top in the overall recent blog rankings, huh.

 

Seki: Blog?

 

Imaoji: So you also check out blogs, Aoyama-san.

 

Aoyama: …… No, I just happened to come across it on the net.

 

Watabe: Well then, why don’t we jump right in and get Madam Seiko-chan to read our horoscopes too?

 

Yui: I don’t believe in such unscientific things like fortune telling, but I’d like to have an understanding of the stuff she’s into.

 

Aoyama: Then, for the time being, I guess I’ll read out loud “this month’s lucky item to raise your fortune”.

 

Imaoji: That sounds interesting. Please go ahead.

 

Aoyama: Starting from Imaoji then. Scorpio’s lucky item is…… apparently a “car air freshener”.

 

Imaoji: A car, is it? Unfortunately, I ride a motorbike so it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to increase my fortunes this month.

 

Yui: Don’t let it get to you, Imaoji. Divination is, after all, just a form of amusement. 

 

Aoyama: Kotaro’s Gemini reading says that it’s probably a good idea to walk around carrying a “towel handkerchief”.

 

Yui: I see. It would appear that a water absorbent one will do better than a regular handkerchief. I’ll put it to use wiping up her sweat.

 

Natsume: Huh? Didn’t you say that you don’t believe in unscientific things?

 

Seki: …… It’s dangerous to allow Yui to have a towel handkerchief on him. But if I stop him, then his luck will go down… ?

 

Aoyama: You don’t have to put that much thought into Kotaro’s fate, Seki-san.

 

Watabe: Me next, Aoyama-kun. By the way, I’m a Capricorn born on January the 11th.

 

Aoyama: Your lucky item, Watabe-san, is a “beckoning cat”.

 

Watabe: Uh-oh~ Here comes something you can’t carry around, huh.

 

Seki: Can’t you just put one up in your room?

 

Natsume: A beckoning cat in Watabe-san’s room…… 

 

Imaoji: Haha, it’s hard to picture, isn’t it?

 

Aoyama: If I’m right, you were born on April 19th, Natsume. For Aries, it’s supposedly “dumbbells”.

 

Natsume: Ugh, isn’t that impossible to hang up anywhere to boot?

 

Aoyama: If you’ve got a problem, then take it up with Madam Seiko. And I guess for a Libra like me, it’s “grilled meat”.

 

Watabe: Ooh! Don’t we have a winner for the most practical one here?

 

Aoyama: No, I feel like having grilled meat everyday would definitely be harsh…… 

 

Yui: Seki-san is the only one left. If another realistically difficult item pops up here, then this month’s fortune for the investigation and planning division is infinitely the worst. We’ll all be left without hope.

 

Natsume: Kotaro-san is the one who believes in fortune telling the most.

 

Yui: …… 

 

Aoyama: August 18th… Leo’s lucky item is…… 

 

Everyone: …… 

 

Aoyama: A “three-coloured ball pen”.

 

Seki: !

 

Watabe: Ooh~ Here’s something that can be easily clipped to the body. Even you, Seki, would have one on you~

 

Imaoji: Would you say our peace is secured with this?

 

Yui: …… 

 

Aoyama: Where are you going, Kotaro?

 

Yui: Off to buy a towel handkerchief.

 

Natsume: …… He believes in it, doesn’t he?

 

Seki: Haha. Well then, I’ll carry around with me a three-coloured ball pen too. I’ll be superstitious…… So that everyone in the division can safely get through their work this month as well.
