NicoMaki Short Stories

Nico's Sick Day

It was a bright Shiny day. μ's were ready to practice Except for 1 certain member.
"Where's Nico-chan?" Said Maki curiously.
"Oh about Nico, She didn't come to school today" Said Eli.
"That's unusual" Said Nozomi.
"Yeah! Yeah! I don't think Nico-chan would skip school just because she hates studying" Said Rin.
"I-I don't think that's the point Rin-chan" Said Kotori with a innocent yet forced smile.
"So what happened to Nico?" Asked Umi.
"She said she was sick today" answered Eli.
"I-I see. I hope she gets better soon." Said Hanayo.
"Me too" Honoka followed up.
"I guess we have no Choice but to practice without her today" Said the blonde haired.

Eventually they started practice with the remaining 8 Members. They all felt a weird vibe without the one person that has the most will as an idol not present. A few minutes passed by as they practiced their dance routine.

"This is too awkward nya!" Said Rin out loud.
"That's right! That's right!" Said Honoka as well.
"But we have no choice, Honoka" Said Umi.
"I have an idea!" Said Nozomi enthusiastically. "Why don't we skip practice pay Nicochi a visit today!". "
You just want to skip practice today don't you, Nozomi?" Said Maki with a straight face as always.
"Ehehehe you caught me there Maki-chan" Said Nozomi.

"Actually I also kind of agree with Nozomi-chan." Said Kotori nervously.
"You too Kotori!?" Said Eli with a slightly shocked expression.
"So can we skip just for today Umi-chan?" Honoka begged.
"Absolutely not" said Umi with a high tone. "We have a another live in less than 2 weeks and we have no time to skip practice even with 1 person not present."
"Bu-but we're not skipping, we're going to pay nico-chan a visit" said Kotori.
"Yeah that's right!" Followed Honoka. "Please, Umi-chan~" Begged Kotori with her cute puppy dog eyes pose.
"K-kotori!? You're being unfair." Umi sighed.
"Than we'll practice at least once for today, agree?" Said Umi. "Yay!" Honoka shouted.
"Then let's start over from the top" said Umi while bringing her spirit back up.

So they practiced the dance routine once then practice was over.
"Huuft I'm tired nya" said Rin exhausted.
"Me too" Hanayo said.
"Now you as you said we're done, but how are we going to pay Nico a visit?" Asked Umi.

Everyone just started with a confused expression out of Umi's question.
"I see no one actually made a plan. Though suddenly barging into a sick person's house isn't a good plan" Umi said.
"Then how about we just go buy supplements for her for now. I'm Pretty sure she'll need some medicines & warm food." Kotori said.
"Then let's go!" Honoka shouted.

On the way to the convenience store near school Umi walked up to Maki.
"Maki, what's wrong with you today? You weren't focused at practice at all and you kept making the wrong steps on the routine. Is there something bothering you? You're usually not like this" said Umi while worrying.
"I-it's nothing" Maki startled. "But I beg to differ. You're never like this--" said Umi while being cut off by Nozomi.
"Well just leave her be. She'll be fine by tomorrow right Maki-chan?" Teased Nozomi that was obviously eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Y-yeah of course" Maki said.

A moment later they got to the store and bought a few medicines & some supplements. They got out of the store and started discussing how they'll go visit Nico.

"Okay now I guess we have everything for Nico, so who'll go visit her?" Asked Eli.
"How about Maki-chan?" Nozomi suggested.
"Ueehhh!? Why me!?" Maki asked with a shocked expression. "Well we could take Honoka & Rin but I don't think that's a good idea" said Umi.
"Heyy!! That's rude!!" The two orange head said.
"But it's the truth" Umi denied.
"I-I guess so..." Honoka said.
"Yeah and I need to have a little talk with Umi-chan so I don't think I can go either" said Kotori. "Yes that's-- wait what?" Umi said. Kotori just smiled at the confused Umi causing face to flush a bit and look away from the grey haired.
"Then how about Hanayo?" Maki wondered.
"I-I don't know where Nico-chan's house is" she said nervously.
"What!? We all went there together last time" Maki said vigorously.
"I-I forgot! Someone help me!!!" Hanayo yelled.
"Alright fine, then how about you two" Maki said again while looking towards Nozomi & Eli.
"Us? We're going to go get a parfait" Nozomi grinned.
"What kind of an excuse us that!?" Maki said with a high tone.
"Excuse me but getting a parfait is really important for me & Elichi, right?" Said Nozomi.
"Y-yeah" Eli said with a slightly forced smile.
"Plus I don't think 3 people barging into Nicochi's house is a bit too much. Anyways 'good luck' Maki-chan" Nozomi said with a sly smile.
"Wait- wh-what do you mean by good luck?....." Maki said while everyone went away from the red head without hesitation.
