Tsukasa: Leo-san! There you are at last!
Leo: ......
Tsukasa: Gah! Why must you spurn me so?! Have I offended you somehow?
I would rather think you, Leo-san, are the greatest genius at testing my patience!
I see you are intent on treating me like I do not exist! Very well then, if you insist, I—
Leo: ...Suo~. I'm no good anymore.
Tsukasa: Pardon? What does that mean?
Leo: I like to look at the sunset over the sea when I'm dealing with a slump, you know.
Looking at the pretty ocean lifts my mood and then eventually the inspiration gets flowing again.
Going to the beach in Italy didn't work, so I came back here.
But nothing's coming to me. Not a single note.
What's going on, God? Are you taking an early summer vacation? Without me? Don't leave me behind...
Suo~, you're the King. Do something.
Tsukasa: Leo-san...?
(Usually, Leo-san would be shamelessly throwing a tantrum in such a situation.)
(These... may be abnormal circumstances.)

Location: Dorms - Common Room
(About an hour later)
Tsukasa: —So, given that Leo-san is now experiencing a very serious slump, it would be no exaggeration to say Knights is facing a critical situation.
Ritsu: That is an exaggeration. Right, Nacchan?
Arashi: Right. It depends on the time and place, of course, but most of the time, Leo-kun's slumps are like little summer colds.
You know, the kind where you sneeze once and it's gone. Just let him be and it'll fix itself.
Tsukasa: I cannot do that. With the former king in such a state, it will damage the morale of our new recruits.
Ritsu: Pretty sure we didn't coddle them that much. A summer cold, huh...
...Oh, I have an idea.
Tsukasa: ? Why are you twisting that tissue?
Ritsu: I'm making it into a string. Here, Tsukipi~, turn this way.
Leo: Wah, it tickles! My nose is all itchy! A-Ah...
Achoo!
Ritsu: So? Feeling the inspiration yet?
Leo: Nope, not a smidge.
Ritsu: Damn it. I thought it was a genius idea.
Tsukasa: What is this foolishness? I must ask you to face this problem seriously.
Ritsu: Oh? I'm facing it well enough, aren't I? Have you yet to behold the powers of this string, Su-no-ji?
Tsukasa: Eek! That tickles! P-Please stop!
Ritsu: Oh no you don't. No running away, now.
Tsukasa: A-Achoo. Why me too...
Arashi: I think it's Ritsu-chan's way of showing concern for you, Tsukasa-chan.
It's just my intuition talking, of course, but I don't think you need to be so serious about it this time around.
We've got Leo-kun right here with us, after all. Let's take our time and try to untangle this situation bit by bit.
Tsukasa: Bit by bit... Of course. Let us start with trying to pinpoint the cause.
Leo-san, is there anything you can think of that may have caused this? Anything will do, no matter how trivial.
Leo: Anything? Mmmm...
...I got it! It's because it's summer.
It's only July, but it's been hot every single day, right? That's slowing down my brain! Pretty sure even God gets knocked out by the heat every now and then, anyway.
I can't work up the drive, and any motivation I have is dead in a ditch somewhere! Suo~! Make summer end right now!
No, wait! Don't end it just yet!
It's just been work, work, work, day in and day out! Summer's gonna fly right by us and we won't even get to enjoy it!
Every day, packed full with idol work? You wanna live like this?! Well, I don't!
Let's ditch those jobs and go out and play! Mountains! Sea! Long vacation!
Our summer's just getting started! Wahahahaha! ☆
Ritsu: ...I'm going back to my room. G'night.
Tsukasa: W-Wait, please! I, too, have found myself at a loss in front of this sudden outburst!
Er, in other words, Leo-san... you wish to take summer leave, correct?
Leo: Yeah!
Tsukasa: You cannot.
Arashi: Wow, that was fast.
Tsukasa: We have a few things on our schedule already. Canceling so suddenly would cause trouble for the client and damage our reputation.
In addition, we cannot afford to squander our funds. We must ensure we have enough for our new members' training.
Ritsu: "Squander", huh. You're gonna force Tsukipi~ to work because you need him for Knights, then?
You sure that'll lead to profits for us? Wouldn't we just end up embarrassing ourselves?
Tsukasa: ......
Arashi: It's a real toughie. It'd be nice if we could get a job that lets us relax as we work.
But it's not often something so convenient just pops up like that.

T/N: For what it's worth, there is a name for the string Ritsu made with that tissue, "koyori". Koyori generally look like this. Yeah it seems like he stuck the same tissue up both Leo and Tsukasa's noses lmao
