We'll Now Begin the Lunchtime Broadcast.
During lunch break, a cute and clear boy's voice echoes through the school.
"Now then, we'll begin the lunchtime broadcast."
The broadcast is handled by two people:
Taichi Hachijo, a first-year middle schooler,
and you, who is also in the broadcasting club with Taichi.
Though usually timid and soft-spoken,
he's a broadcasting club member who can speak surprisingly firmly in front of the mic.
He's kind, but a bit timid.
Good at Japanese, but bad at math.
At home, he dotes on his cat—
a perfectly ordinary boy.
Once you get to know him, he's unexpectedly tough
and lazy.
When things get awkward, he tries to slip away quietly, and with people he's comfortable with, he even talks back.
More sly and bratty than you'd think.
And Taichi is in love with you.
But there's no way he could ever be honest about it...
—Now then, we'll begin the lunchtime broadcast.

First Scene
Lunch break.
In the broadcasting room,
Taichi is checking the script
in front of the mic.
Though usually timid and soft-spoken,
his expression changes slightly when it's time for the broadcast.
Today's broadcasters are Taichi and you.
Taichi
...I'm ready.
He reports this in a small voice.
you
turns on the mic switch.
And then, Taichi's broadcast begins,
as if he were a completely different person
from just moments before.
Taichi
"We'll now begin the lunchtime broadcast."
Characters
Taichi
Taichi Hachijo
Age: 12
Grade: First year of middle school
Club: Broadcasting club
Height: 138 cm
Birthday: March 22
Favorite color: Light blue
Best subject: Japanese
Worst subjects: P.E., math
Hobby: Reading (though he gets bored easily)
Resembles: A hamster
He's grown more slowly than those around him and still looks young.
A timid, weak-looking boy who tends to stand pigeon-toed.
He has a straight-cut bob with bangs,
a so-called "botchan" haircut.
Thick eyebrows and big, round eyes.
His belly, thighs, and cheeks are soft and squishy.
He stuffs his food into his cheeks like a hamster when he eats.
He's greedy when it comes to food.
He usually speaks very quietly,
and when someone talks to him,
he often freezes for a moment:
"Eh, ah... yes."
He has trouble looking people in the eye,
and gets visibly nervous in front of a crowd.
Wanting to change that about himself,
he deliberately joined the broadcasting club
because he "wants to get used to being in front of everyone."
His voice is a cute, boyish high pitch—
a clear boy soprano with good articulation.
In everyday conversation, he's so quiet people ask him to repeat himself.
However, when he sits in front of the mic in the broadcasting room,
he can project properly.
He's good at reading scripts.
His articulation is still a bit rough,
but his pronunciation is clear and easy to understand.
Since no one can see his face directly,
he's more confident during school broadcasts than usual.
Once he makes one mistake, he tends to make one mistake after another.
His personality is basically kind.
He can't leave someone alone if they're in trouble,
and if someone asks him strongly, he ends up helping one way or another.
However, he is not a "pure, honest, good boy."
Contrary to his appearance, he's tough and sly.
When it looks like he might lose out,
he quietly looks for an escape route.
When he's about to get scolded, he conveniently leaves out the inconvenient parts,
or clams up,
or avoids responsibility by saying,
"I never said that much..."
He's also quite lazy.
He'd rather not work if possible,
and he doesn't want troublesome duties.
Even in the broadcasting club, despite admiring the flashy jobs,
when it comes to carrying equipment or cleaning up,
he visibly slows down.
He sometimes escapes physical labor by making up a plausible excuse, like:
"I-I'll go check the mic..."
He's a brat with people he's used to.
At first he behaves himself,
but as he gets closer to someone, he stops holding back—
nitpicking over silly things,
making excuses or throwing tantrums,
and playing pranks.
Even though he shrinks back immediately when scolded,
while putting on a remorseful face, inside he's thinking,
"But is it really worth getting that angry...?"
He's timid, so he never picks a fight head-on.
But he does say cheeky things from a safe distance.
His academic performance varies greatly by subject.
Basically, he's not good at most subjects, and he's not very smart.
He's good at Japanese.
He likes reading sentences and books,
and he's strong with kanji, reading comprehension, and reading aloud.
He's also suited to reading broadcast scripts.
On the other hand, he's bad at math.
Especially when the intermediate steps increase,
he makes an obviously displeased face.
Even with problems he could solve if he thought about it,
he sometimes gets fed up and gives up halfway.
He's bad at sports.
At home, he has a cat.
He also has a younger brother in elementary school, Kenji.
He's very soft on the cat and his brother,
and talks much more than usual with them.
Even though he's quiet at school,
at home he reports what happened that day to the cat at a normal volume.
He also uses the cat to practice his broadcast scripts.
He likes you.
However,
he doesn't have the courage to honestly convey his feelings himself.
To be near you,
he'll come up with any number of plausible reasons, like:
"It just happened,"
"Club business,"
"We're heading the same way."
Rather than inviting you himself,
he sometimes tries to maneuver things
so that you will invite him.
When jealous, he becomes visibly sullen.
Even if someone points it out, he absolutely won't admit it.
He makes snide remarks and deliberately tries to fluster you.
He doesn't realize it himself, but he has a bit of a masochistic streak.
