Teddy Bear - Trace of a Thread Chapter 3

Season: Autumn

[Nurse's Office]

Leo: Alllright, it’s looking good! I’ve whipped up another timeless masterpiece~! Wahaha☆

Adonis~! Come over here, I’ve finished your new song so I’ll gift it to you! It’s a day you’ll treasure your whole lifetime!

Adonis: Hmm. Thank you, but is it really okay to take this?

I believe you’re also active as a composer, right, Tsukinaga-senpai?

A professional who can make money shouldn’t be offering his services for free. I think. Probably. Hakaze-senpai was saying something like that.

Leo: It wasn’t for nothing, it’s thanks for carrying Mr. Faintsalot for me!

Not to mention, you also gave me inspiration when you started playing the ocarina, you know?

Adonis: Hmm. I see, rewards can be more than money.

Tsumugi: Ahh… that sound from before was your ocarina? It was hidden in your big hands, so I couldn’t see it earlier.

You’re very good at it, huh, Otogari-kun? It’s an unexpected skill.

Adonis: Is it really that unexpected? Well, I don’t have many chances to play it in UNDEAD.

…Actually. I only just realized it, but I probably shouldn’t be playing instruments in the nurse’s office.

There are people sleeping in here, after all. I’m a bad kid.

Leo: But that’s fine, right? UNDEAD is popular for their villain image~♪

Adonis: Fufu. Tsukinaga-senpai, you really don’t disagree with anything I do, huh.

Leo: I don’t have a reason to! I love absolutely everyone! Wahaha☆

Mika: Mnn, nnn…?

Mnn…? H-Huh? Where am I?

Leo: Ah crap, we were too loud!

We went and woke up Mr. Faintsalot~ Sorry about that! You can go back to sleep!

Mika: Ngaa? Nah, I’ve been kinda half awake for a while already…

I heard some sorta pretty sound, so I was dozin’ off, feelin’ all floaty and nice.

Wait, huh? Who’re you? Mnnn, my head’s all foggy!

Tsumugi: Ah, Mika-kun! So you were the “Mr. Faintsalot” Tsukinaga-kun was talking about?

Did you collapse from malnutrition again? I’m always telling you, you need to eat more, you know?

Mika: Ya don’t eat that much either, Tsumu-chan-senpai…

Wait, what? Tsumu-chan-senpai’s here too!

Eh, what’s with this group? Aren’t ya all a kinda weird mix?

Adonis: I can’t really answer that either.

Kagehira, Tsukinaga-senpai saw you collapsed and got worried, so he carried you to the nurse’s office. I just happened to be passing by and helped out.

Mika: Ngaa? Y-Ya did so much for me! M’sorry for the trouble!

Thanks, yeah? Uhh, Otogari-kun from Class A, and Oshisan’s friend… Tsukinaga-senpai?

And Tsumu-chan-senpai too♪

Tsumugi: Ahh… I just happened to be here, and didn’t really do anything, you know?

Mika: Really? There’s no harm in thankin’ everybody, though~?

Oshisan gets mad at me though, tellin’ me I’ll look cheap if I thank people so much♪

Leo: Mnn~? Ah, I just remembered. You’re that kid Shu’s so fond of!

I thought I’d seen you somewhere before~ Ahh, I feel better now☆

Mika: Huh, you forgot? Nghh~ Am I that invisible?

Leo: Sorry about that! Just like Nazu, you’ve changed a lot!

Everyone just feels so alive and human these days, I’m glad♪

Mika: N-Nazu… y’mean Nazuna-nii? Tsukinaga-senpai, are ya friends with him?

Leo: Yeah, we’re friends in the same class~ I made a unit called “Knight Killers” with him and had some fun going on a rampage not too long ago♪

Mika: O-Oh, ‘s that right… Nazuna-nii doesn’t even try ta come back to Valkyrie though.

Tsumugi: Ahh Tsukinaga-kun, I think that’s a pretty sensitive topic...

Sometimes you can be inconsiderate when you talk, so I think maybe it'd be better if you considered the relationships in a situation, and understood them first before speaking?

Leo: I don’t wanna hear that from Obachan… Ahh, are you purposefully trying to hit on sensitive topics here?

Well, whatever. I guess it was something you didn’t want to touch on? Sorry, uhh…

Mika: Mika Kagehira. Don’t go forgettin’ it, okay? I don’ really like my first name, so call me by my last name if ya can, yeah?

Leo: Really? But it sounds kinda like an angel! Michael, Michael! Wahaha☆

Mika: Ahh… Nazuna-nii whispered the same thing in my ear when I first met ‘im.

He used to belong to a choir, so he knows a bit about that stuff.

Ehehe. That was the happiest time for us…

Now, it’s like we’re in pitch black darkness, and I can’t see nothin’.
