Utapri- A butler a day

Prologue

'QUARTET NIGHT HAD CAME BACK WITH THEIR LATEST SINGLE, 'THE DICE ARE CAST' WHICH LET THEM ARRIVE AT THE TOP TEN WEEKLY IDOL AWARDS! EVEN THEIR JUNIOR, STARISH PREVAILED WITH THEIR LATEST SONG, 'MAJI LOVE REVOLUTION' WHICH HAD SURPASSED 1 MILLION VIEWS ONLINE! WILL THEY RISW TO THE TOP AND BEAT THEIR FELLOW SENIOR IDOLS? OR WILL THEY BE BEATEN? STAY TUNE FOR THE NEXT BROADCAST OF MMM NEWS!' the reporter thundered through the news broadcast on the projected screen.

"So, did you people hear that? They are expecting you guys to rise to the top!" Shining exclaimed while pointing on to the screen which the news broadcast was shown a while ago.

After speaking, his eyes averted to where the group of idols were standing. What he saw was a group of sleepy looking faces while about half of them were still in pyjamas, except for Ai, Masato and Camus. Only Syo, Ittoki, Reiji, Natsuki and Cecil were seen sleeping comfortably on the floor and on the sofa.

"Ara, you boys are still that tired? Isn't 4am a normal time for you guys to wake up and train, everyday?" Ringo asked as he was staring at them in dismay as he sat with his legs crossed like a boss on a comfy couch.

"Fools that wake up later than that do not deserve to become an idol!" Camus stated as he had a sip from his warm cup of sweet tea. He was sitting at Shining's working desk area together with Ai who was busy starring at the screen blankly.

"Myu-chwann....dat's sooonot...like yew...yew are alwaysss da latest to wake up....among the rest of uss..." Reiji mumbled in his sleep, which deeply embarrassed Camus, as he choked on his tea.

"Silence, Kotobuki!" Was all he managed to say as he gently wiped the drink from his lips with a clean tissue, which Ai gave after being startled by the sudden commotion.

"Camels always hide its tru ssef...wif a sly...facade..." Cecil mumbled in his sleep too as he stretched his arms and legs with a big yawn.

"Shut up, Aijima!" Camus yelled as he nearly broke his cup's handle after hearing what Cecil just said. "Who are you calling camels?!"

"Ringo-san...it's not that we are not used to it...just that we were practicing throughout the night and ended up with only 3 hours to sleep," Masato explained, while ignoring what was happening in the background, to which Ringo just looked at him with a 'oh-I-see' face.

"We all know that it's very tiring while staying as an idol and we are very sorry for asking you guys out into Shining's office for a brief meeting this early," Ringo apologised with a bow.

"Hm...the president asked us into a meeting? Isn't it more like kidnapping us?" Ichinose stated calmly while thinking back the past events. Ichinose and Ittoki were still asleep until someone knocked on the door. Ichinose was the one to get the door. In surprise, he was being snuck into a big bag together with the still asleep Ittoki by someone.

For Masato and Ren's case, they were called by Ringo when they are about to shower. Yes, that is when Ren was putting on a robe while Masato undressed himself. Ringo's expression was priceless after looking at them, partially naked.

For Syo and Natsuki, they are being carried to Saotome's office by Hyuga without them knowing. Finally, for the seniors, they were being informed earlier than the Starish by the president himself, so they woke up earlier on time...albeit Reiji, Camus and Ranmaru had a hard time waking up but somehow they managed. Back to where we left off...

"Just to ask, isn't little lamb supposed to be involved in this meeting too?" Ren asked while adjusting his sleeves (he was wearing a robe)

"Unfortunately, nope. Miss Nanami has things to do which was more important than this!" Shining replied. "But, you'll know why soon!" And takes out a microphone out of nowhere and speak, "I NEED YOU PEOPLE'S ATTENTION!!"
