Izumi: Excuse me? Naru-kun, Kuma-kun, Kasa-kun… Are you leaving me out?
Arashi: Huh? You're pretty early, Izumi-chan.
Izumi: Yeah, well, you see… Yuu-kun wanted to get away from me so badly that he went crying to Nazunyan.
And Nazunyan is a softie, so he spilled everything we wanted to know.♪
Anyhow, that Ousama is way more serious than we thought. I discovered something crazy, so I was kind of in a mad rush to get here and tell you, you see~?
Ugh, I got all sweaty running for nothing.
You see, unlike some conveniently placed bad guy in a shounen manga…
... Ousama's not simple enough to give us a challenge that’ll be easy for us to overcome.
Arashi: W-What do you mean? Something crazy? What is it…?
Izumi: Well, you know the temporary unit Ousama put together to fight against us? I found out who the members are.
And they’re way overpowered, you know?
Tsukasa: Excuse me. I apologize for interrupting the conversation, but what is this “temporary unit”?
Could that be the unit that will be fighting against Knights…?
Izumi: I see, so you don’t know about them. You don’t see them around too much anymore, maybe thanks to the student council getting stricter with the rules.
Though lately they’ve been getting just a liiittle looser, you know?
A “temporary unit” is a unit that’s only active for a designated amount of time… like the name, it’s essentially temporary.
Ignoring all kinds of set frameworks, it’s a unit put together for some kind of special job.
Other than being around for a limited time and being able to choose members freely, it’s the same as a regular unit.
For work outside the school, such as song contests…
Sometimes units are made from the best singers chosen out of all the Yumenosaki students. There's been lots of those, I guess?
If you compare it to baseball, it might be easier to understand.
You know how they select players from different teams for the Olympics? It’s kinda like that.
Tsukasa: I don’t know much about baseball, but… I see, it’s a unit made temporarily for a specific objective.
By that effect, if we Knights are a unit of loyal warriors, then a temporary unit is like a band of mercenaries?
Is that what we are up against this time…? Then the lineup in this temporary unit is dangerous enough to merit precaution.
Izumi: That’s right. By the way, the unit Ousama put together is called “Knight Killers”, apparently?
Tsukasa: Knight Killers... Those who... kill Knights?
Izumi: Just from the name, it's like he's all ready to kill us, right? Is he seriously trying to pick a fight?
If he thinks he can kill us so easily, he’s underestimating us, though?
Thinking they can flatten us completely, they're sure getting ahead of themselves for a unit that's just been thrown together, huh?
Well, we shouldn’t make light of them either, though. With just the songs Ousama makes, it's already gonna be trouble for us…
I heard a bunch of big-shot leaders from the strongest units are gonna be in Knight Killers, you know?
If we let our guard down, you realize we don’t even have a chance?
Tsukasa: ...
C-Could we really win against such a strong enemy?
Would I not hold everyone back again…? Because I lost my temper with Leader? I-It got this bad?
What do we do? What if we lose because of me? What if Knights has to disband?
I could not bring myself to face my ancestors-- no, I could not even face all of you!
Izumi: Ahh, don’t make that face… It’s not your fault we got backed into this corner.
It’s all that stupid Ousama’s fault.
If he didn’t say all those crazy things, we wouldn’t have to bother with this. Seriously, what a nuisance, right?
It’ll be fine. After all, Knight Killers is just a ragtag, unorganized mess. They don’t match up to us Knights, fufufu♪
Let's make it known throughout the world that giant killing isn’t restricted to Trickstar.
It's fine, we can win. We won’t waver even if you drag us down, Kasa-kun.
We’ll take it easy and win like always. That’s how we are… how we’ve always been.
So don’t worry, and don’t try to keep it all to yourself, okay?
...You can rely on your Oniichans sometimes, you shitty brat.
