Arashi: Fufu. You don’t have to be a working adult right after graduation… You can also go to college, right?
In some cases, you could relax and have it even easier than in high school, you know?
Like my big brother - we wonder if he’s actually going to school, with how much he messes around.
Ritsu: Huh? You have a big brother, Nacchan…?
Arashi: I do, more or less. At least, that’s what I believe our relation is…
We’re not really that close, it’s like everyone in my family’s off in their own business. So when we invite people over, our family often gets weird looks.
Ritsu: Mmm, that’s surprising… But Nacchan, you’re pretty clingy yourself.
Arashi: Yeah, somehow…
Being born and raised in a family that’s pretty cold to each other, perhaps I started subconsciously looking for that closeness.
Or not~… Fufu, in short, all this time I was actually a little sister, you see!
What do you think, Ousama? Does it strike a chord? I can call you Oniichan if you like~♪
Leo: I don’t want a big little sister like you.
Arashi: Excuse me, how rude!
It’s so boorish of you to talk about outer features like that! When I was young, I was an angel, a fairy, the cutest little creature alive, you know?!
…Sniff, sniff. It’s not like I wanted to get this big!
Leo: Sorry, sorry. It’s okay, Naru~ You’re cute~ Don’t pout, okay~…?
Ritsu: Yup yup, you’re a cutie.
…Hmm?
Arashi: ? What’s wrong, Ritsu-chan? Need to pee?
Ritsu: No, I just thought I heard footsteps.
Tsukasa: Eeeeeek?! Why are you chasing after me, Sena-senpai?! What did I dooooo?!
Izumi: Wait right theeeeeere! Yooooou shitty brat, don’t run away from meeeeee!
Leo: Ohh? W-what’s going on? What happened?
Arashi: …Oh my, did you go and do something wrong again, Tsukasa-chan?
Tsukasa: W-Why are you making me sound like some kind of troublemaker?! How truly regrettable, please withdraw that statement!
Ritsu: But you are one… I don’t really care, but don’t struggle so much, okay~ You’re gonna get dust in the tea, you know?
Izumi: Wheeze, haa haa… D-don’t just sit there and watch, catch him!
Ritsu: Mm~ I dunno what’s going on, but… it seems fun, so I’ll listen to Secchan for now, hup♪
Tsukasa: Uhyah?! Don’t curl around me like that, Ritsu-senpai?!
Ritsu: Fuhaha~ I shall drag you down into the depths of the kotatsu with me♪
Tsukasa: Eeek?! W—Stop--… Ouch?! M-My calf is touching the heater under the kotatsu?
Hot hot hot, Ritsu-senpai, stop, what if I get a burn~?!
Leo: Wahaha. Just give up and be good for now, Suo~.
You’ll seriously get hurt if you struggle so much. It was already your loss when you got cornered in this room with no escape route.
Tsukasa: Ghh, how regrettable… No one will take my side here, I see. It is very sad.
Arashi: Well, usually when this happens, you’ve gone and done something, Tsukasa-chan…
But it depends on the story. Why were you two out there playing tag with each other?
Explain it clearly. We won’t do anything bad to you, okay.♪
Izumi: Phew, I can finally breathe… Kasa-kun, for now, do seiza right there.
Tsukasa: S-Seiza? Why seiza? This is humiliation! I am strongly opposed to this treatment!
Izumi: Just do it. Here, fold your legs, okay~? Straighten your back, okay~?
Tsukasa: Khhh? Why do I have to go through this?! I really haven’t done anything bad this time, alright…?!
Izumi: But, you’re hiding something, right?
Mmkay, let me explain to you all how it went.
I was walking down the hallway and saw Kasa-kun, but see, when I went through the trouble of saying “let’s walk together”--
This kid didn’t even notice. Just kept muttering to himself and sighing.
Something’s definitely up. More than anything, it pisses me off that he ignored me.
Tsukasa: I-I apologize for that! I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something and didn’t notice you there!
I was definitely not intentionally ignoring you, Sena-senpai…!
Izumi: Even if it was unintentional, it’s already a serious crime being disrespectful to me…
What should I do with you? Should I leave you in seiza for a whole night?
Tsukasa: T-That’s inhumane… Even though we have heating and a kotatsu, this studio gets chilly when the heater is turned off, you see. I will catch cold.
I-If I get sick, it’ll be trouble for you all too, right? After finally gathering all Knights together, are we just going to let one member go missing~?
Izumi: Hm? Are you trying to negotiate with me? Losing one little chick won’t shake the foundation of Knights, you know?
Leo: Come on now… Don’t be so mean to him, Sena. You know, you could just be honest and say you were worried about Suo~.
Izumi: Excuse me? I’m not worried about him or anything! Idiots should shut up…!
Leo: You’re the idiot here. If you’re worried about him, it’s no use if you hurt him instead. You’ve always been that way~ Why don’t you try being honest for once?
Izumi: What’s that? Hey, why are you talking like you know everything about me? Despite being holed up aaaall this time?
Tsukasa: U-Umm. Please don’t fight… It is true that my attitude needs some improvement. I apologize for that. So please, don’t get so angry.
As the cause of this whole mess, I realize I’m not in a position to say this, but this situation is just like when I first joined Knights.
Haven’t we changed, everyone?
Izumi: Talking all big… You’re always all talk, since the very beginning. But put that aside and just hurry up and spit out what you’re hiding.
Then we’ll talk. And relax, Naru-kun said it before, but... we won’t do anything bad to you, alright?
Tsukasa: ……
