Rainbow Boys (レインボーボーイズ)

Where might our Akira-chan have gone after leaving us?

I wanted us to have a lovely tea time together.

Same, where could he have gone?

My cute Akira-chan, where might you be?

- My cutie pie Akira-chan... - Akira-chan!

Those two are seriously persistent.

Thank you for your assistance.

Nikaidou Akira

Third-year at Toudai Private School, second son of a head of the Nikaidou School of Nihonbuyou Dance.

That's dangerous!

Are you okay?

You alright? You're not hurt, right?

You okay?

Was that scary?

Sanguubashi Yuutarou

Third-year at Minosui Private Senior High, the only son of the leader of Kantou Sanguubashi-gumi.

Ryuuji, you have any plans for the summer holidays?

Nope, not really.

I've only ever played rugby, so there's really nothing for me.

Let's go to the sea!

And pick up some girls!

Not interested in that.

What's wrong with you?

Nonami Ryuuji

Third-year at Rakuei Metropolitan Senior High, in rugby club. Eldest son among six kids, with 2 younger brothers and 3 younger sisters.

So you guys are all still in high school...

Nikaidou Akira-kun...

Which one of you is Nikaidou Akira-kun?

That's me.

Your family runs a School of Nichibu Dance, in which you're also involved.

Nichibu - shortened form of Nihonbuyou Dance

Goodness, this school is a pretty famous university prep school, is it not?

Shouldn't you be studying instead?

True, studying is very important.

However...

For the last summer vacation of senior high school,

I wanted to have a valuable experience that I can't normally experience at school,

thus I'd like to do a part-time job at your company.

As expected from someone attending a top-tier prep school.

The way you express yourself is just different from the rest.

Okay, okay.

Alright, next we have Sanguubashi Yuutarou-kun.

That's me.

Sanguubashi-kun, you're...

Sanguubashi?

This Sanguubashi...

Could it be you're related to someone from that Sanguubashi-gumi?

I am.

Don't tell me you're the son of the...

Well, I am.

Why did a son of yakuza come here...?

Pardon me.

I can't believe the son of a president of a large corporation would come here to work as a security guard.

My father is my father, I am my own person.

What if something were to happen to you?

Don't worry about that.

Will I get a bullet for it?

I said you don't need to worry!

It'll be okay. I don't need to worry.

Next person is Nonami Ryuuji-kun.

Oh, you play rugby!

Yes!

Why do you want to work as a security guard?

Well, I'm...

Uhm...

Pardon me.

I brought you the information about this month's shifts.

Hayakawa-kun.

Thank you for your hard work.

Your timing is on point.

I'll introduce you. These are our new hires.

This is Hayakawa-kun, person in charge of training part-time workers.

Hello. I'm Hayakawa Makoto.

And these are the part-time workers who will be on duty starting tomorrow.

I'm Nikaidou Akira.

I'm Sanguubashi Yuutarou.

No-Nonami Ryuji here.

- Pleasure to be working with you! - Pleasure to be working with you!

Hayakawa-kun wants to be that...

What was it again?

Singer, right...

Actor.

Oh, right!

He's aiming to become an actor while working part-time.

He's so cool, right?

Nice to meet you, guys.

Let's get along well.

- Please treat us kindly! - Please treat us kindly!

Oh, long time no see, Ryuu-chan.

You haven't visited in so long, Ryuuji!

True.

You've got nothing to do as usual.

Hey, how rude of you! That's none of your business.

Never mind that. I actually got a part-time job.

A job? Why look for one when I said I'd employ you here?

Well, I wanted to work as a security guard.

Whaat? "Gei-biin"?

T/N: "Kei-biin" means security guard in Japanese. He makes it "gei" which means "gay" in Japanese.

It's "kei".

Oh, "kei". I do know the word.

Still, I wonder why he'd want to work as one.

There's a bunch of reasons.

A bunch of reasons, huh?

By the way, Ryuu-chan, I have a favor to ask of you.

Listen, if you have handsome guy friends, could you introduce them to us?

Sakura has lately been swamped.

It doesn't look like she'll always be able to come.

You've got it.

So is your job at the TV station going well?

You could say that. It's going pretty well!

I still have a long way to go as they treat me as a part-timer.

Well, if you keep working here, you'll never have a boyfriend in your whole life.

There are lots of guys who approach me, though!

Is that really true?

Even if you do get some guys, won't Mama here steal them from you?

T/N: Mama is a word used for female bar owners in Japan, but also gay male owners / drag queens.

Meanie! What are you saying?

Of course, I'll steal and eat them all up.

Now that's mean to me!

Alright, let me feel your abs.

Pull up your shirt.

- Show them to me. - I won't!

Well, I guess that's about it for what you need to keep in mind.

It's not a complicated job,

so all you need to do is keep those in mind while working.

- Got it! - Got it!

About time for the first patrol.

Night patrols are usually done in groups of two.

So let's split ourselves into two groups.

So the person going with me will be...

- Me! - I'll go!

I volunteer!

Nice to see you all so motivated.

I'm fine with whomever.

Rock, paper, scissors!

It's a tie, so again!

Tie again!

Why did I use scissors?

What the hell is wrong with me?!

Say, Nikaidou-kun...

Uhm, please feel free to call me Akira.

Oh, Akira-kun then.

No need for "kun", just call me Akira.

Akira?

Yes!

What's wrong, Makoto-san?

There's nothing wrong,

but don't you think you're too close to me?

Sorry about that!

Silly me.

What was that?

Let's go check it out.

H-Hey, Ma-Makoto-san!

Glad it's nothing after all.

What a relief!

I'm sorry.

You okay?

Actually, I don't deal well with scary stuff.

I guess you can't help it. Come on.

But you need to get used to it as soon as you can.

I will.

They've been on patrol for half an hour already.

Do you think something something happened?

Half an hour?

It probably takes that long to go around the whole building.

What if those two sneaked off somewhere?

We're back.

- Thanks for your hard work! - Thanks for your hard work!

How did it go?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Alright, shall we take a break?

- Yes. - Yes.

Hey, Makoto-san...

Please have this if you'd like.

It's a deluxe multi-tiered food box from a place in Ginza.

You'll be helping me a lot in the future, so this is the least I could give you to express my thanks.

It looks really wonderful.

Feel free to dig in.

Well then...

How about we eat it all together?

What?!

- Thank you for the food! - Thank you for the food!

Yum!

Tastes good.

Makoto-san...

The sausages in golden foil are simply divine.

Sausages with golden foil around them...

First time seeing something like this.

Delicious.

By the way, Ryuuji-kun, you seem like you work out a lot.

Do you play any sports?

Yes, rugby.

Do you go to gym and such?

Oh, I have my own muscle training routine.

Your own?

That's impressive.

Please give me some lessons on that some other day.

About how to build up muscles on your own.

- Huh? - Huh?

What do you say?
