Summer Choice!
Members of Six Gravity and Procellarum's version of A or B Summer Choices ♥
Six Gravity and Procellarum's members challenge themselves to answering 9 double-choice questions regarding summer's standard activities and items! Having to choose between A and B, we might be able to take a glimpse of an unexpected way the twelve spend their summer! On the last page, we grant the title of "Summer King" toward members whose answers tell that they're specialist when it comes to fully enjoying summer ♥
Q1. Where would you choose to go to play to, the sea or the mountain?
Editorial Check!Going to the sea!
They're completely divided between going to the sea or going to the mountain! In general, the more active type prefers the sea, while the ones who wants to take it easy choose the mountain, maybe?
Koi: Talking about summer then it has to be the sea, of course!
Arata: Female's swimsuits. That's my sole, absolute reason.
Aoi: I'd like to challenge myself on scuba diving.
Kai: It's a matter of course, considering my name! ... Just kidding (laughs).
You: While having fun dressing up in swimwear, we get to play to our limits!
Iku: Playing beach volley on the sandy beach! Swimming! Free diving! I'd like to enjoy sports that can only be done in summer.
Going to the mountain!
Kakeru: Mushrooms, edible wild plants, bamboo shoots, tree fruits! When it comes to foodstuff hunting, you can leave it to me!
Hajime: I'd like to feel some chilling breeze.
Haru: I'd like to spend the day comfortably, doing things like reading books under the tree shades.
Rui: A crowd less place is nice.
Yoru: I'd like to go there together with the Animals.
Shun: Both are fine, but as someone in charge of Hajime's summering, I need to go along with him, right?
Q2. Do you prefer ice creams or sorbets?
Editorial Check!Ice creams!
The type that has milk in it and rich in flavor, or the crunchy jelly dessert... Members of Gravi and Procella seems to like rich flavors better.
Kakeru: Due to a certain reason, I'd like to have milk intake as much as I can.
Hajime: I want to eat some of the nice things just a little bit.
Koi: I can even go for the triple scoop~!
Haru: Topping the fresh waffles with vanilla ice and red bean paste. I'd like to have it together with green tea.
Arata: I love the strawberry milk flavor.
Rui: I want to eat it together with pudding as a parfait.
Yoru: Because they have pretty hues, even just looking at them feels fun, so.
Shun: Häagen-D*zs is of utmost supremacy.
Sorbets!
Aoi: It's my recent addiction. I want to try going to shop that sells fluffy shaved ice too.
Kai: Frankly, I like both, but right now I feel like having something crisp, I guess?
You: I like both of them though. If you have a particular favorite, do tell me~ ☆
Iku: I like its crispy aftertaste.
Q3. Are you the type that finishes homework early or on August 31st?
Editorial Check!Finish early!
The ultimate choices of what occured during their school days! Looking at those who chose to leave their homework until the last day of summer holiday, we went, "I see~ (laughs)."
Kakeru: I'm the type who wants to fit my schedules with short-term part-time works as much as possible, so I finish them in the middle of July.
Hajime: It's not limited to homework; I'm the type who if I see that there are things that can be taken care of, then I want to finish them off as soon as possible.
Haru: Because it'll be easier for me to finish them all before I'm getting used to the holiday atmosphere and starts slacking off.
Arata: Things like independent research we had during elementary school, I finished them within one day that it ended up becoming a topic in my family meeting. *
Aoi: Finishing them earlier let me play around without needing to feel constrained after all.
Yoru: Because it gives me a peace of mind to finish them early.
Shun: Getting all panicked in the end isn't elegant at all after all, see?
On August 31st!
Koi: ... Since I drag it on until the first class starts, I guess I'm actually the type that finishes on September.
Kai: Ah... (eyes looking at a distance)
You: My switch just doesn't get turned on~
Iku: I'm the type who cry in the end because I got too engrossed in club activities and playing around (laughs).
Others.
Rui: I never experienced something like homework. I feel a little jealous of the others.
Q4. If you get a full month worth of holiday, will you actively play outside or spend it lazily inside?
Editorial Check!Actively play outside!
We see that there's gap between those who wants to spend their summer holiday 'outdoor' or 'indoor'. The ones who choose to stay indoor seems like they enjoy it enough ♥
Kakeru: Hooray! I can do part-time jobs as much as I want! ... that what'll happen (laughs). I think I'll be going here and there.
Koi: I want to go around playing! Enjoying being in a crowd of people is also a part of summer holiday, I guess.
Aoi: I want to go on a family trip!
Kai: I'll take those who lazes around in the dorm out!
You: I'll go overseas to train my dancing skill!
Yoru: I want to carry a camera with me and go on a short trip. I'd like to go to a highland where I can clearly see the beautiful stars.
Iku: Returning to my family's home... going to the sea... going to the mountains... there are many things that I want to do.
Spend it lazily inside!
Hajime: I'll fully enjoy it by sleeping the day away without setting the alarm.
Haru: I'd like to buy many books from the stores and read them from morning til evening.
Arata: If it's alright to just laze away, then I'll be happy to...
Rui: I want to turn it into a time where I'll listen to a lot songs, and compose a lot songs myself.
Shun: I'd like to let myself be engulfed in drowsiness, without getting trapped by the concept of time.
Q5. If you're to go to a resort, which will you choose: a cottage or a ryokan?
Editorial Check!Cottage!
It's a choice on where to go to heal the fatigues from daily routines. The ones who chose for ryokan seems to carry the idea that all members will stay in the same room.
Haru: I've been yearning to experience walking through the woods.
Aoi: If possible, I'd like it to be a cottage in the middle of a forest. I want to try seeing squirrels or foxes.
Yoru: It'll be nice to have an astronomical observation at nighttime with everyone.
Iku: Let's have barbecue!
Ryokan!
Kakeru: I want to get in the onsen, play table tennis, and have a pillow fight!
Hajime: Having a leisure time in the onsen.
Koi: A full-throttle pillow fight match with all members of Gravi and Procella! It's a must!
Arata: A strawberry milk after taking a bath is delicious, you know.
Rui: I want to try sleeping together and form the kanji 'kawa' (川).
Kai: It looks like it'll be fun to sleep together with everyone in a large room!
You: I want to see you in yukata... just kidding.
Shun: I was talking with Rui about wanting to sleep together and form the kanji 'kawa'. We're recruiting one more person.
Q6. Are you the type who tans or burns?
Editorial Check!Tanned!
It's a source of distress for many idols, the problem of getting tanned! Looking at members who tans under the sunlight... it might actually be interesting to see!?
Kakeru: Before, when I put on a sun-visor while working part-time, I ended up having weird tan patterns...
Koi: Back in elementary grade and in middle school, I tanned up quite well!
Kai: Because I go here and there, when I realized I already got suntanned.
You: I was pretty down when I got partially tanned because I was wearing my watch.
Iku: Back in elementary grade, I got tanned up quite well.
Burned!
Hajime: Speak of which, I don't really mind about it.
Haru: I got sunburned, and that's all. I'd like to have healthy tan for once though.
Arata: Basically, I love getting under the shade when summer comes.
Aoi: Hm~... I get sunburned, but they return to normal quickly.
Rui: There were times where I'll feel sick before I can get sunburned, but it doesn't mean that I'm delicate.
Yoru: I'll get sunburned and feel the prickling pain.
Shun: I'm the white demon lord, after all.
Q7. Are you the type who takes care of your skin properly or doesn't really care?
Editorial Check!Takes proper care of it!
The most troublesome thing to do when summer comes is taking care of one's skin. As expected due to their line of job, everyone is making a considerable effort in taking care of it.
Kakeru: Since I start this job, I come to mind about it.
Hajime: Ever since I was put in charge as an image character of a cosmetic product, it became my etiquette to at least do the most basic skin care.
Koi: I only started since starting this job. I'm using stuffs that Ai recommended to me~
Haru: I'm an idol after all. Before, I don't mind at all about it (laughs).
Aoi: I did skin care methods that the stylists taught me.
You: Before, I don't care at all. Right now, because of my job, I'm doing it properly. The stylists taught me a lot about it.
Yoru: I had cried because of the stinging pain before, and because right now I have a job, I came to take care of it properly.
Iku: I was part of the track-and-field club, so sunblock is a necessity for me. It has become a part of my habit.
Doesn't care!
Arata: Only if I'm told to do it...
Rui: I had Shun cast a charm on me.
Kai: Recently I'm told that it's okay to get tanned, but I need to be careful so they won't turn into spots.
Shun: In the first place, thanks to my 'charm', I had UV prevention around me all the time.
Q8. Are you the type who loves listening to ghost stories or doesn't want to hear it?
Editorial Check!Loves it!
A standard activity to do on summer, telling ghost stories! It looks like they made it clear whether they like it or not, but Arata-kun's no comment is... (laughs).
Hajime: It's not that I like it, but I'm interested in it.
Haru: If I'm asked which side I am, then I'll say that I'm the side who tells stories. Fufufu, I have a lot in stock, you know?
Aoi: I'm often told that it's surprising that I like it. I wonder why?
Rui: They're interesting, you know?
Kai: I'll get scared together with them, all while enjoying the reaction of those who get scared (laughs).
Iku: I generally like listening to strange stories.
Shun: Even within strange stories, there are surprisingly some truths mixed in it, you know? Fufufu.
Doesn't want to hear!
Kakeru: I get scared easily, so. But, I have zero ability to sense something supernatural!
Koi: Let me run away with all my might!
Arata: No comment (smug).
You: Sometimes I would get asked whether I have some stock of stories, guess it's because I'm son of a Buddhist priest? Rather than amusing myself with it, I'd rather have some peaceful sleep, so I choose this side.
Yoru: I get scared easily.
Q9. Are you the type who puts the cooler on full blast or can bear with the heat?
Editorial Check!Puts the cooler on full blast!
Rather than saying that they can bear the heat, we found out that they actually doesn't like using cooler. They're members of people who are friendly to Earth!
Hajime: I can't stand it, but I also don't like cooler's breeze, so I'd rather go to the shelter (Shun's room).
Koi: I'm glad I'm born in modern society!
Arata: The type who lazes around in a cool room.
Rui: I can't stand hot weather.
Can bear with the heat!
Kakeru: Saving electricity consumption! I'm being eco-friendly!
Haru: It's not that I bear up with it, but I'm the type who doesn't get bothered with the heat.
Aoi: I like feeling the wind coming through the windows.
Kai: Nature feels the best!
You: Heat in summer is a matter of course, right?
Yoru: I dislike manmade wind more than the heat, so I try my best not to use the cooler.
Iku: I'm the type who has his tension rises together with the heat!
Shun: I have my 'charms', so I don't need cooler.
