Leo: Wahaha! It's hard knowing just when exactly you choose to be nice, Sena!
Izumi: I'm nice all the time, though? The only time I'm strict is when you give me a reason to be angry at you, right?
Leo: That's true! I'm sorry though, that some flighty guy like me wound up as the leader...? I've put you through a lot, huh, Sena?
Izumi: Huh? What are you talking about? At least it's way better than before.
Unlike the times when we did nothing but rot away in Othello and Backgammon, I actually feel some sense of accomplishment.
Fighting, rampaging, and knocking down everyone we can't stand! It feels good, and I'm pretty satisfied with how things are right now, though?
Leo: I see... You too, Sena, hmm...?
Izumi: What is it? If you have something to say, then say it. You're usually acting up however you please, Leo-kun. This isn't like you, you know? Seriously, did something happen...?
Leo: Not really~?
It's just that... I'm kinda tired, Sena~
Izumi: Uwah? Don't cling to me like that, it's too hot for this!
Leo: Wahaha☆ You sure can't handle heat, huh, Sena! Sorry about that!
Izumi: Your apologies are always so flimsy, though. Do you really feel like you're in the wrong?
Leo: Mm~... Until I became the leader of Chess, I never once thought I was wrong~
Maybe I don't really understand what "wrong" is?
More importantly, Sena, when did you get so friendly with Little John?
Izumi: What? Little John?
Leo: He's right there next to you, the cat! That's this guy's name~ He's huge but he's Little John♪
Izumi: Uhyah!? Since when did that get here..?
Leo: He's been there the whole time, though? Cats don't make sounds when they walk~ so you don't know it even when they get close to you!
It seems like he liked your singing, and he was moving his body like he was dancing. How lovely ♪
Ahh, inspiration—it's come, it's come! I missed this feeling!
Lately my head's been feeling kinda heavy, like I'm in some kinda slump, so I'm glad!
Izumi: Excuse me? A slump? Give me a break, we've been totally slammed lately, you know?
Chess is so divided right now, and among them we're just a gathering of small-timers... of vagabonds.
If we don't have your songs as weapons, we won't even stand a chance against our former comrades!
Leo: Weapons...?
Izumi: ...What? You have a problem with that word?
Leo: Nah, it's a perfect fit. Really, Sena, your language sense is wonderful~♪
Wahaha! Can you put lyrics to my songs sometime? With Sena's power added, we'll be undefeatable~ We might be able to create the greatest masterpiece in all of history ♪
Izumi: I don't have time for that. Like I told you, I'm busy. It feels like every day we have a live battle, fighting to the death with our former comrades...
Honestly, how did it even get to this point?
To me, being able to kick aside all those guys I never liked actually feels refreshing...
But continuing to fight without meaning makes me a bit depressed.
It'd be nice to at least have some sort of goal.
Leo-kun... At some point, it seems the fans started calling you "Ou-sama" during our lives.
As you crush everyone around you, are you really aiming for the top?
Leo: Wahaha~! You got fatter again, Little John! You're so heavy now! You might even be heavier than Ruka-tan~♪
Izumi: Hey, listen to people when they're talking to you, alright...?
Leo: Hm~? I kinda lost interest in whatever it was! More importantly, cat tummies are nice and soft and squishy! They feel like happiness~♪
