The Unmovable Center Saorin

Y: "Honestly, Saori is noisy. Not just the sound, but her movements are noisy too. She makes noise even when nothing is happening. She's rampaging even when nothing is going on."
Me: "Well, she's like yellow phosphorus, so it can't be helped, right?"
Y: "Huh? What did you say?"
Me: "Yellow phosphorus"
Y: "Yellow phosphorus?!"
Me: "|Entry No. 15 <Atomic Number>, |P <Element Symbol>, her name is Saophosphorus!"
Y: "Can you stop saying it like some kind of audition?"

Like an idol, it has member colors, but the one that is especially energetic and has incredible influence is
“
yellow” yellow phosphorus-chan.Probably the unmovable center.

"Everyone is captivated by you,
You are the perfect and ultimate idol,
|never <at all> to appear again,
The reincarnation of the brightest star."

Its member color is yellow, but since it emits a blue-purple light when it burns,
when waving your glow sticks,
at the start:
yellow when the song gets exciting →
blue or purple, please.

Let me introduce the other members.

It seems that a research team including Kyoto University has succeeded in synthesizing a new
2025orangecolored allotrope.

I went way too far with the jokes.

When I was in high school, there was someone in my class namedSaoriwho was like a human firecracker.
She was always making noise, so
I thought she was "like yellow phosphorus".
Yellow phosphorusspontaneously ignites when it touches air, right?
No matter how you look at it, she's just likeSaori, who is noisy even if you leave her alone.

Moreover, Saori said in her self-introduction that she dislikes swimming, or rather, getting her body wet. Since
yellow phosphorus is stored in water to prevent spontaneous combustion, the fact that
Saori hates getting wet only further reinforced the ridiculous equation of

Saori = yellow phosphorus in my mind more than necessary. Y was seriously becoming like Bhairava of Lord Shiva for a while due to


Saori's spontaneous combustion noise, so I gave her some mysterious advice: "Just think of Saori

as yellow phosphorus. If she's being noisy, just think, 'Oh, she's spontaneously combusting again, I'll sink her in a pool,' and you'll be perfect."

Then, conversely, the flow of
Saori making noise = spontaneous combustion = yellow phosphorus
seemed to become funny to her, and whenever
Saori spoke with TodorokishishimoRoaring (extremely noisy), she would burst into laughter, start saying things like "Lol, it's all Yomogi's fault lolol," and treat me like the root of all evil—a total reversal of fortune. Y has gone beyond Aphrodite and is now in a state of Ame-no-Uzume.

And then, as usual, Saori was making a spontaneous combustion fuss, and even though I didn't call her, she approached me with the vibe of Typhoon No. 15, saying "Did you call me?", so I decided to act as if I had. Me: "Look at this (chemistry reference book)."

Saori


: "Hmm? ...
Yellow phosphorus ...?" Me: "It spontaneously combusts, apparently."
Saori: "Whoa!" Me: "It burns just by touching the air, even if nothing else happens. Plus, it's bright."
Saori: "Amazing! That's crazy!" Me: "
Yellow phosphorus
burns even when nothing is happening, right? Saori
, you act bright like that even when nothing is happening, right? Don't you think they're similar?" Saori: "Wait, hold on, then from now on, call me Saorin
!"

Saori, for some reason, takes a liking to yellow phosphorus. She then goes around the class telling everyone about the “
commonalities between yellow phosphorus and herself.” This drive and sense of speed also feel very
yellow phosphorus-like. That is exactly why she is the center of the class. The unwavering center

. I, who generally dislike noisy people, might have even held feelings of admiration for her because of the way she opened up to everyone equally, and because, at the end of the day, her brightness made me forget my gloomy feelings, even if just for a moment.

And so, Saori's nickname for all three years of high school became “Saorin.” Whenever
Saorin made a racket during class, someone would say, “
Spontaneous combustion! Who took her out of the water!” or “I’m going to sink you back in the water!” and Saorin

would reply, “Sorry! I’ll be quiet, just please spare me from the water!” The chemistry teacher, who understood this joke in a second, said, “Assigning classmates to elements to remember them is a nice idea. By the way, which element do I seem like? Hey, hey! I want to be an element too!” He talked about his dream with the same energy as a child saying, “I want to be a Pretty Cure!” so I granted his wish by saying, “You’re radon.”

Teacher: “Yay! But why did you ‘make’ me radon?” Me: “I have an image of you as a behind-the-scenes hero, someone who does great work where no one can see.” (Translation: Because you are there before I know it, gone before I know it, and despite erasing your presence like a ninja, you assign outrageous assignments. This was a memory from my first year of high school, where an elemental symbol festival occurred, with

yellow phosphorus


spontaneously combusting while radon stood at the podium, and for some reason, hydrogen
exploded in the classroom, causing a minor accident.

Even if her image color is yellow, her favorite drink is peach tea. I want to gift this to
Saorin.
