[Fortune Live Stage]

Tsukasa: To those who have come of age today! And to all ladies and gentlemen, young and old! We would like to extend our thanks to you for attending this theater’s grand opening…!

Sora: Haha~♪ It’s a little late for coming-of-age day, but we will sing and dance for everyone, praying for your good fortune!

Yumenosaki Academy’s Knights and Switch present you, especially all of you who’ve become adults this year, with a moment full of love and emotion! Come on, let’s begin the Feast of Good Fortune~♪

Tsukasa: Marvelous! We shall wish from our hearts for your good fortune! Or rather, we will perform for you an extraordinary coming-of-age ceremony!

Now, let us have a toast! Many, many congratulations to you all…☆

Sora: Of course, we’d love it if you enjoy yourselves even if you aren’t celebrating this month, you know~♪ Though after this live will be the real thing, a grand opening performance by Yumenosaki’s theater course!

We’re just a little warmup before you all step into a world of hope and dreams! I’d like you eat us up like an appetizer~♪

Now, please feast yourselves on this delicious magic!



Come! Come, good luck~♪

Tsukasa: The feast has begun, everyone! Let us celebrate you as you make your brilliant departure!

Let us guide you down the road toward dreams and the future!

Let the knights and magicians pave the way, and build landmarks to guide you!

Sora: Now, everyone, come over here! It’s fun, right~? HaHiHuHeHo~♪

♪~♪~♪

Tsumugi: (…Fufu. I wonder when Sora-kun got so good at opening speeches~)

(I’m sure he practiced a lot and also used what he learned from experience.)

(In the beginning, he kept going on and on about things the audience didn’t understand, and it was hard to get the message across…)

(Well, rather, it didn’t click with them, and it left everyone confused.)

(But now, it might still be hard to really understand what he’s saying when you think too seriously about it…)

(…But it really, thoroughly feels both fun and happy.)

(That’s all he needs right now. Fufufu, Senpai is looking forward to your future, Sora-kun.)

Natsume: …Senpai. Don’t just keep looking at Sora with Worry, face the audience Instead.

The Feast of Good Fortune is based on the coming-of-age Ceremony.

New adults often feel more confident being acknowledged as adults in the World, so they tend to be a little Arrogant.

If you look down on Them, they might say things like “this bastard, where’s the respect?” You will invite Backlash.

This is especially because we are still Minors, and in the eyes of Society, we are little kids lower than grown People… than Adults.

Let’s play obedient for Now. Thanks to some special Arrangements, the new adults are being served with Drink. It’s possible that some person might get drunk and have an Outburst.

Tsumugi: Okay, okay, I understand already. In the underground livehouse we used to use as our main battlegrounds, it wasn’t uncommon to see drunk customers…

Well, I at least know how to deal with them.

Alcohol won’t erase one’s darkness or negative feelings. It simply has the effect of inflating the joy and happiness of the moment.

We should be working with that power and using it to our advantage.



We shall sow the seeds of fortune, grow them to buds, and let the flowers bloom! That’s what we’re always doing as Switch anyway, right?

Today, we need only cast the same magic as always.

♪~♪~♪

Natsume: (Mm~ He sure seems awfully Happy, and it’s making me unusually Irritated. Well, I suppose it’s Fine, it’s much better than his gloomy Look, after All.)

(Just as the name Suggests, the Feast of Good Fortune is a Banquet. I shall overlook all the things that irritate me for the sake of the Party.)

(And Sora looks like he’s enjoying Himself… I’m glad to see how much he’s Grown. I’m feeling unusually Excited.)

(I was slightly worried when I heard we would be working with Knights…)

(One could call them a bitter Enemy, whom both Senpai from the old fine, and I from the Five Oddballs have fought against many Times.)

(Well, compared to the older knights and Magicians, the two youngest members seem to be getting Along…)

(Times have Changed, I See. Time is always the greatest Medicine.)

(As simple Humans, perhaps we should abandon ourselves to the flow of Time, without floundering about Uselessly…)

(…Leaving everything to the will of God.)

(But we are Magicians. We twist the law of Nature, overturn Fate.)

(Perhaps I shall cast the full extent of my Magic, to drag in a better Future, no matter how Slight.)

(Ahh… There is no need for Predictions. The future already shines so Brightly.)
