[Halloween Party Stage: Knights]
(That night)
Subaru: ~…♪
Leo: Heeey~ You’re from Trickstar, right? Ucchu~☆
No wait, maybe I should say this for today instead... Trick or Treat♪ Wahaha, got on some kitty costumes, huh? Cute!
Subaru: Mm? Uh, who’re you? I dunno what’s going on, but thank you…?
Leo: “Who”? Ouch, that hurts! Well, I guess I’m always saying the same thing, so I don’t have a right to complain, huh!
Fufu, feels like I keep saying the same things these days.
This whole situation is kinda like past Yumenosaki, you know. Getting hurt, crushed under some huge, unseen force…
But now, even if it all starts off the same, it turns out differently. Now it can turn out differently, thanks to you guys.
I’m happy, and I’m also impressed! Yup~ Nice job~♪
Subaru: Wah, stop— uh, could you please stop petting my head? We’re in the middle of entertaining the guests right now, okay…?
Makoto: Heeey, what’s going on, Akehoshi-kun? Something wrong?
Subaru: Nah, just some… drunk? person started talking to me…
Makoto: What?! Wait a sec, that’s Tsukinaga-senpai! This is that Knights leader you wanted to meet, Akehoshi-kun!
Subaru: Ohh, really~?
Leo: Really really. At least for now. Speaking of which, I guess I haven’t said hi to any of you besides “Yuu-kun.”
Hey there. I’m Leo Tsukinaga of Knights.
Subaru: …Nice to meet you. I’m Subaru Akehoshi, from Trickstar.
Leo: Okay! Nice to meet ya! But who cares about me, look at this outfit! So we took inspiration from that headless knight that hails death, then thought of Shinigami, reapers of souls—
Subaru: But it’d be a waste to just introduce myself, so I’m gonna call the other members over! Just wait a sec!
We came to the venue early to get ready for the performance, but it was so fun that we started going around talking to the guests and—
Leo: …Mm? Sorry, we started talking at the same time! What were you saying?
Subaru: Uh~? Sorry, I guess we were on different wavelengths, huh? Please, go ahead~
Makoto: Ahaha. Come on you two, don’t just blurt out whatever’s on your mind. You have to listen to the other person too. Honestly, you two really are alike in some ways…♪
Leo: Hey, no worries. That’s how youngsters should be! I should be the one showing a senior’s-- an adult’s patience here.
If you have something to say, then say it while you can. Life is long, but humanity is numerous, you know - we don’t know when and where we’ll meet again.
The live show will start after this. Once it does, we probably won’t have a chance to chat like this, right?
Subaru: Mm~… Feels like I had so many things to say once I met the leader of Knights but, nah, I think I’m good.
You’ll probably understand everything in the performance.
Leo: You sure about that? No matter how you use your words, not even a third of your feelings come across!
If you think everyone'll understand you if you just sing your hearts out…then, my condolences!
If that’s your “strategy”, then you’re never gonna win against us.
…Wait, I’m starting to sound a bit like that blockhead now. Ah~, no, no! I resent him so much I’m turning into him – love and hate are two sides of the same coin!
Subaru: Blockhead…?
Leo: Someone who was once my friend, whose wishes you granted. …Oh?
Ritsu: ‘Sup, Ousama♪ It’s getting pretty lively in here, huh?
Leo: Ohh, Rittsu! You alright? How’re you doing~? Man, am I glad you could come back before the show started.♪
We and the fans missed you!
Ritsu: Fufu. Actually, thanks to Anzu and Corgi, I recovered a bit faster. I’ve already had a nice, relaxing time enjoying Halloween.
Well, as much as I could, anyway… I rested for most of it.
I’ve mostly recovered, so I’m gonna meet up with you guys for real. Where’re Secchan and the others? Kinda feels like…I really miss everyone a lot…♪
Leo: Ahh, over here! I’ll take you there! Ehehe, let’s hold hands~♪
Ritsu: That’s not the kind of outfit you’re supposed to go “ehehe” in, you know. It’s too beautiful.
…Well, see you, Trickstar. We’ll meet again onstage. We’re not gonna just hand the win over to you, so go rack your brains for a while over it.
Leo: Yeah, good luck! I’m cheering you on for real!
But remember. We’re not some easy level shounen manga rivals placed conveniently to make the protagonists grow—
If you let your guard down, we’ll kill you in one slice.
Subaru: …!
Leo: Trick or Treat!
Wahaha, now’s when the real fun starts…♪
