Izumi: You really do only live in the moment, don't you... Ugh, it's pissing me off—do I need to kick you?
Leo: Ahhh~ stop it, Sena~! I don't agree with violence!
It's because you have that attitude that everyone misunderstands you, y'know~ they say you're scary or unpleasant or that you're hard to approach!
When in fact, the truth is you're actually such a nice, caring guy...?
Izumi: ......
Leo: Ahh, poor Sena... Everyone hates you, huh... There, there, this nice Leo-san will give you a biiig hug♪
Izumi: I'm gonna kill you.
Leo: Eek, that's why I said you're scary! Don't glare at me~ that's a nasty look in your eyes!
Izumi: Excuse me? You've got a problem with my face?
Leo: Not at all! You're always pretty no matter when~ just like the moon!
Izumi: You're the one who's the moon... Anyway, let's stop with the chatter and start with practice already. [1]
The wars continue tomorrow and the day after, too, so it's nothing but lives day after day, you know?
Leo: Ugh, I like lives, but... Lately, it's just~ different from how I imagined, kinda~...
Like the unit system, and the live battle system... They're both weird, somehow.
Is this what being an idol's supposed to be like? I wanna, you know, laugh "wahaha☆" and smile with everyone more! I wonder if I can make~ one hundred friends~♪ [2]
Izumi: Don't just talk as you please. Also, you can't keep squeezing the cat so tightly like that, alright.
It's a living creature, so you have to be careful with it. Hand it over.
Leo: Oh, you wanna hold Little John too, Sena?
Izumi: It's because you're being so reckless with it, so I just want to let it catch a break over here for a bit. It's a stray, right? I never wanted to touch it, to be honest.
It's dirty, you know, so it might have fleas or ticks. Sooo annoying~
...♪
Leo: Wahaha. You're surprisingly fond of animals, huh, Sena~
Izumi: More than I am of people, anyway. ...Ah, right, I had something I wanted to ask you.
Leo: Huh, what is it? You want to know who I like? Well, guess what~ I looove Sena☆
Izumi: No one's asking you anything like that. What I wanted to say was that we have to decide on the name of our unit.
Leo: Huh? Isn't it Chess?
Izumi: About that—you know how Chess is split up right now, right?
After that, the unit system started being tested out, where we have to register our unit name and members.
And the name “Chess” has already been taken by someone else... So we need to think of some other name instead.
It looks like if we don't register, we can't participate in official DreamFes... official lives.
Anything's fine right now. We just have to hurry up and hand in the paperwork.
Leo: Whaaat? I don't care what the name is, honestly. Can you think of something that sounds good, Sena?
Izumi: I shouldn't be the one to choose it, right? You're the leader, after all.
Leo: Whyyy.... But actually, I still wanna be Chess!
I was raised on Chess's songs~ They always had the spirit of an artist dedicated to creating music, you know?
Chess was super cool in the past!
Izumi: It's just a name for convenience, so that we can have something on paper. There's no point in being selfish right now.
Because you suddenly disappeared, the others got to it first.
By the way, as for the other guys who branched out of Chess...
It seems they have a tendency to name themselves after chess pieces, maybe out of consideration for their old unit.
Strong-sounding, or rather showy names like King and Queen are all already taken...
And names derived from those are pretty much all gone too.
If it were you, Leo-kun, which chess piece would you pick?
If you don't pick soon, we're gonna be Pawn, you know?
Leo: Pawns are strong too... But it might sound a bit dumb, huh. If we were like, “We're Pawn!” it'd sound like we're selling ponzu.
Mm~ as for other chess pieces, there's bishop or rook or knight, right?
Izumi: Ah, sorry. I just checked on my phone, but it looks like those are all unit names already.
If we change it up a little, we can register without a problem, though.
Leo: Hmm... What about making it plural, like "Knights"?
Izumi: Ahh, we can register with that! Right then, it's decided: we're going with Knights ~♪
