Requiem - Dies irae Chapter 1
Mar. 17th, 2019 05:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
shivalriesT/N: Dies irae = Day of Wrath.
The chapter titles of the Requiem event are the Japanese translated titles of two movements in Mozart's Requiem. However, in English, we generally refer to them by their original Latin titles.
It's also worth a mention that the Requiem piece was never finished by Mozart before his death, and it was instead finished via commission. His wife, Constanze Mozart, popularized the idea that Mozart believed he was writing a requiem for his own funeral.
Anyway... enjoy the requiem for our very own Knights!!

Leo: Wahahahaha! Great job, you guys! Today’s live was a total smash hit!
Izumi: Excuse me? We didn’t “smash it”, though? At the very most, we did an average job, right?
No, it might’ve even been below average. No matter how good we’ve been doing recently, if we get too complacent we’ll end up closing off our future with careless mistakes, you know?
Leo: Incorrect~! I didn’t say we smashed it, I said it was a smash hit~! Fufu, wow Sena, you’re looking pretty uncool right now♪
Izumi: ……
Leo: Ow! Ow, that hurts, Mr. Sena! Please, no more violence!
Izumi: Why so polite, huh? Treating me like a stranger? Sooo~ annoying!
Leo: Wahaha! I’ve had more chances to talk to adults lately - such as at award ceremonies and meetings!
So I thought I’d try watching my words, but I kinda suck at switching between tones, so now I’m just trying to talk politely all the time!
Izumi: It sounds gross when you do it… Well, I guess you need it, though.
Leo: Yup! Oh Sena-kyun, why not twy being a good widdle boy wike me~? ♪
Izumi: ……
Leo: Ow! I said it hurts, Mr. Sena! Please stop karate-chopping the back of my neck!
Seriously~! You’re an intelligent lifeform, so use language instead of pain!
If you don’t use your mouth to speak, it’s the same as forever leaving a sword in its sheath! An absolute waste of a treasure!
Izumi: As if you’d listen anyway, though~?
Also, this doesn’t count as violence, you know? I was just being nice and trying to fix your messy hair, so could you not say things that could cause a misunderstanding?
Leo: That’s exactly what a bully would say! Don’t paint a pretty picture with your words when you’re actually just picking on someone!
Save me, Rittsu-sensei, Naru-sensei! There’s bullying going on in this class!
Ritsu: Oh no, bullying within our institution simply does not exist. I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about - this child is usually such a kind and hardworking student… perhaps you must be mistaken?
Arashi: Aha, how nice of you to play along, Ritsu-chan♪
Ufufu♪ Well then, let’s say I’ll be the beautiful lady instructor who drives the students crazy! I’ll also be Kunugi-sensei’s colleague, and at night, with just the two of us, we’ll have our own secret teachers’ meetings…
Oh?
Tsukasa: ……
Arashi: What’s wrong, Tsukasa-chan?
You’ve been looking rather gloomy recently, and it seemed like your mind was elsewhere even in our performance today… your Oneechan’s worried, you know?
Tsukasa: …Huh? Ah, did you say something, Narukami-senpai?
Arashi: …I was just asking you why you don’t call me “Oneesama” even though we’d made a bond of sisterhood only the other day.
Tsukasa: Ah, um, I’m sorry, but I must ask you not to say such nonsense with such a serious face. As you know, my only Oneesama is Anzu-san.
Izumi: Even she’s not your sister, though~ …For that matter, she’s been worried about you too. She said that lately you’ve been often absent from school.
And she even came all the way to my classroom just to ask if I knew anything about it, you know?
As the youngest child, don’t make your elders worry about you.
Tsukasa: …Alright. Yes, I understand. My seniors are not my real brothers and sisters, so I must conduct myself properly so as not to disturb them, right?
Izumi: ? No one said anything like that, though? Are your ears really attached to your head? It’s true that I’m not a fan of your attitude right now, but that’s not the problem here, you know…?
Leo: HIYAAAARGH! I’m first at the kotatsu today! I shall plant my flag right here~☆
Ritsu: Too late! I’ve already claimed this territory for myself ♪
Leo: Whoa, Rittsu?! When did you get under there?! Damn it~ you’re as quick as a cat!
Arashi: Ahaha. Why’re you two already jumping at the kotatsu when we’ve barely turned it on? On that note, how long will we leave this in the studio for?
This isn’t our personal room, after all…
People use it for work and class, too. I know it’s been here for a while, but it actually gets really in the way, you know?
Leo: That’s true! Mnn~ but I don’t wanna let it go! I wanna stay with you longer! I love you, kotatsu~♪
Ritsu: Excuse me? Don’t go cuddling up and whispering sweet nothings to my kotatsu!
Leo: What’s this? Rittsu, were you the one who stole away my beloved Guinevere, whom the people know also as Kotatsu?
You who takes the name of Sir Lancelot! I had believed you alone would not betray me!
Ritsu: Fufu. O King Arthur, a man can win over more than just the throne.
Izumi: Come on, don’t start playing around… Ousama, you’re the one who said you wanted to have some kind of meeting after the performance today, right?
That’s why we dragged our tired selves over to the studio instead of going straight home, after all.
Don’t get too comfortable. Let’s do what we have to.
Leo: Alright already, I gotcha~ I was gonna do it anyway without you telling me, Sena~
But you’re making it sound like I did something wrong, so now I don’t wanna do it anymore~
Izumi: Ghh… you’re just sooo~ annoying no matter what you do!
Tsukasa: …Fufu ♪
Izumi: (Oh, he laughed. At least he seems to be alright, to some extent. That’s a relief.)
(But really, why’s he looking so down? Is he sad after all about me and Ousama graduating?)
(I guess this is the first goodbye Kasa-kun’s had to do, so it’s to be expected…)
(We’re the ones who’ve gotten too used to saying “farewell” to those who used to be our former comrades, aren’t we?)
