[Judgment Stage]

Izumi: Naaaru-kun. You’re nervous, huh? Even though you always act like it’s easy!♪

No need to get all worked up. We’re not the lead actors this time, you know?

This time, our king of Knights is… Kasa-kun. This is a fight between Kasa-kun and Ousama.

Though it’s already stupid that the parents are participating in a children’s fight.

Before Kasa-kun has his turn, we’ll thin out his enemies. We’ll clear the battlefield for him, and that should already be more than enough.

This is about all seniors can do for him.

Arashi: Izumi-chan, what’s this? Aren’t you also being weirdly considerate?

Well, neither of us can stay calm right now, I suppose. Goodness, every single time… it’s such hard work!♪

Eichi: Hm, I feel pretty energetic today, and I'm not missing anything, considering today's opponents.♪

While taking my health into consideration… as long as it won’t become a hindrance to fine’s activities, I guess I’ll try my best.

Kuro: Speaking of which, Tenshouin, you seem to be in high spirits right now, more than the rest of us.

That’s some nice grin you got there… You’re the one who thought of the lame name “Knight Killers”, aren’t you?

Eichi: Is it truly lame? That’s just a difference in opinion, Kiryu-kun.

Fufu. I have an image of a night cruise… The king quietly, stealthily floats down the river in the dead of night.

Then I played around with it a little. Isn’t it a great pun?

Kuro: For a pun, it’s terrible… Though of course, it also means we'll be murdering Knights.

You look like an idiot with your eyes all sparkling like a little kid’s.

It’s just as I heard from Hasumi. You sure have a reputation for your childishness.

In contrast to that solemn title of “Emperor”, you have a mischievous side to you too, don’t you?

Eichi: That’s precisely what an emperor is, Kiryu-kun. Those who have power are also selfish children…

Fufufu, I sure am interested in how Keito speaks of me, though.♪

I intended to join as a celebration of Tsukinaga-kun’s return.

It was a lonely Yumenosaki Academy without you, Ousama-kun.

Leo: And here I was thinking the mighty “Emperor-sama” wouldn’t remember a lowly being like me.

I’m surprised you like me that much. Even though you put me through all kinds of pain?

Eichi: Pain is also a kind of pleasure, Tsukinaga-kun. The throne is quite the boring place. Even the enemies who challenge you over and over again slowly become dear to you.

Leo: I see, sorry to bore you~ But still, no matter what…

The toy always breaks first. I hate to say it, but that means I was your toy, yeah?

But even then, you went at it with those Trickstar guys, right? Though I haven't heard the details yet.

Even without me here, were you even that bored?

Eichi: Mmm... After you and the “Five Oddballs” stopped coming to play with me, there was a short period of time before Trickstar showed up…

I was so, so, so bored, I could've just died from boredom.

So, that’s why I’m so happy lately - I’m satisfied. Tsukinaga-kun has come back here…

It seems I’ll at least be able to avoid boredom until graduation.♪

And you’re making it enjoyable for me this time as well. You really are a wonderfully rare kind of archenemy.

Knight Killers… I never imagined myself outside of fine before.

It’s like I’ve been reborn. Perhaps my life could have been like this. I think I can understand part of why Wataru loves theater so much.

Leo: You sure are enjoying this, huh… By the way, I know it’s been a while…

And I only heard half the story, but did you really lose to those Trickstar guys?

You sure have gotten soft.

Nah-nah, loooser! You got way too cocky on your throne and slipped up, did a faceplant and kissed the ground!

That’s so lame, wahahaha☆

Eichi: It’s true that I lost, but I think of it as a good experience. Hearing you say it like that, though, I do actually feel a bit irritated.

Izumi: Excuse me? Don’t just stand there chatting. If we’re gonna do this, do it already. Well, us Knights will win anyway!

First me and Naru-kun will go. Are you sure you want to send out all four of your members from the start?

Well, even if you wage an all-out war… The two of us will easily sweep you out of the way.♪

Eichi: Fufu. It’s time to stop acting brave. It’s cute…

We will send out Nito-kun and Kiryu-kun first. That’s the strategy, right, Tsukinaga-kun?

Leo: Hey, I’m the king this time!

Don’t try to take control! Aren’t you getting too used to being at the top?

Well, it’s easier for me if you speak for me, though.☆

Just as this blockhead Emperor said, Kuro and Nazu will go first. It’ll be a fair, two-on-two fight.

I’m counting on you two.♪

Nazuna: Okay~! Alright, let’s have fun with this, Kuro-chin.♪

Kuro: Yeah. Though it pains me to have to go along with guys like that “Emperor” and “Ousama”, who think they're all that.

But if you’re my partner, Nito, we can take it easy...♪

Izumi: Two against two? Aren’t you being too cheeky, matching numbers with us?

It’d be embarrassing if we fell behind in Knights’ own forte. Shall we give it our all… Naru-kun?



Arashi: Yeah, alright. I’ll go along with you anytime.

...On this night, let us dance, elegantly and beautifully.♪
