[Teacher’s Room]
Jun: ‘Scuse me~
Huh… No one’s even here. That’s pretty careless, y’know~? No one to blame but yourselves if anything gets stolen, alright? You coulda locked the door~!
(Oh…? Wait, looks like someone’s wiped out on the sofa over there?)
Jin: ...Yaaawn. Who’re you? That’s not our school’s uniform.
Ah… Right, you’re probably one of the kids in that joint event we have with Reimei. Well, welcome. Got some business in the teacher’s office?
Jun: Ah-- Uh, yeah. I came to turn in some forms and stuff.
Jin: Ohhh, good work.
Sorry ‘bout that~ It’d be a lot easier if we could just do it digitally. But we still have some old-fashioned folks here, so we have to do every little thing by paper.
Jun: Nah, it’s fine. It’s not like this was a whole lot of trouble or anything. Just a few papers.
But I had a few things I wanted to ask about…
We talked about the school who invited us--Yumenosaki Academy--paying for the expenses up to a certain point, but...
Are you really gonna be okay~? That idiot in my unit spends money like water, so I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a huge cost to you guys. For real, you know?
Jin: I dunno, really. Our resident rich kid apparently has a hand in the budget, so we’re probably fine.
Go wild, if you want. I’d rather you kids have a good time since you dragged yourselves all the way over here.
Though it’s not really my place to say, since I’m not in charge of that Summer Live thing.
Wait here, I’ll get Akiyan-- Uh, the teacher who’s managing the plan for it.
Lessee… Huh? Where’d I put my phone again? Crap, I can’t remember anything after I opened my third bottle of sake.
Jun: ...You were drinking on school grounds? Uhh, you are a teacher here, right? Not just some bum who wandered in?
Jin: Ahh, it’d be pretty bad if the headmaster or some other higher-up found out about it, so keep it a secret, okay?
I thought my secret stash was gonna get found out, you see. I panicked and tried to drink it all but then I guess I blacked out.
Jun: Damn… I can’t even imagine that happening at Reimei.
I heard Yumenosaki went through a pretty rough patch, but seems like corruption runs rampant among the teachers, too, huh?
Jin: You know, you shouldn’t say that when there’s a teacher right in front of you…
It’s all good, though. They’ll overlook it as long as I’m not doing anything illegal.
Not like I’m demanding a favor from them, but I did earn a lot of money for Yumenosaki.
I just want ‘em to be more forgiving about my stupid behavior, to a certain extent.
Jun: …?
Jin: Ooh, there’s my phone. Hellooo, Akiyan? It’s me! Jin~
Yeah, there’s a kid from Reimei here… Can you deal with him?
Jun: Jin…? Wait, don’t tell me you’re…Jin Sagami?
You look real different, so I didn’t see it at first, but… Ah, now that I look-- You’re actually Super Idol Jin Sagami, aren’t you…?!
Jin: Huh? Are you my fan or something? I thought young‘uns these days don’t have a clue who I am.
Ahaha, you here for my signature? Nah, just kidding...♪
Jun: Goddamn! Who’d want your signature, you murderer…!
Jin: Eeek?! Wait, what’s going on? Why are you mad at me? It’s the terrible teens…!
Jun: Ugh, right, as if you’d know… You wouldn’t have the slightest recollection of all the rabble you crushed underfoot, would you.
My name’s Jun Sazanami, by the way. Ring any bells for you, Jin Sagami?
Jin: Wait… Unh, what? Sorry, my head’s still half-asleep…
Jun: …”Jun” sounds kinda like “Jin.” Does that remind you of anything?
Jin: Huh? What do you mean?
Oh no… Crap, I don’t wanna deal with someone claiming to be my illegitimate child or something! I don’t know how to raise a kid!
Jun: Seriously, how long are you gonna play dumb… I’m pretty sure my father sent you a video around springtime this year?
Jin: What? Ahh, that thing! That cursed video!
It was pretty creepy, so I had it burned at the Hasumis’ temple, but I remember it had my saboteur-- I mean, my rival in it!
Right, his name was Sazanami! Wait, you said he was your dad… You’re his son?!
Urgh, I had a bad feeling about this and it was right on the mark… So, is that what you’re up to? Out to get your dad’s revenge or something?
You’re an era too late for that, though~ The law doesn’t allow for revenge, you know?
Jun: As if? My dad’s been pretty messed up for as long as I can remember…
Didn’t even treat me like a human, no love or anything.
I’m not gonna waste my life getting revenge for a bastard like that…
But of course I got curious, and from the videos I watched back then, I might’ve even kinda admired you just a little.
My dad was done in by such an incredible guy… I thought he might’ve been even satisfied with that.
So I’d accepted it and even felt kinda relieved. But now...
Ugh, fuck! God dammit, this is the worst…
You’re telling me my dad got his life ruined by this useless drunkard with a 5 o’clock shadow who gets smashed at his workplace?!
Jin: No, um, but, I’m usually a bit better put together than this?
I mean, yeah, I felt sorry for your dad, but… I didn’t mean any harm. It’s just how things were back then.
Just go easy on me, okay?
And don’t say anything weird to the students, even by mistake… If you’re gonna have your revenge, have it with me.
I won’t complain even if it stings me. I earned it, anyway.
Jun: I said I’m not trying to get revenge. My dad may have raised me and sent me to Reimei for that purpose, but…
My dad’s my dad. I’m my own person.
Though if I take down your precious students… It’ll be like punishing the kids for their parents’ mistakes. Maybe it’d even make me feel a bit better?
My dad’s idol career ended in utter defeat…
But I can prove that when it comes to raising idols…he’ll outdo Jin Sagami anyday.
Haha. Ohiisan had to drag me to this Summer Live thing, but...I’m kinda looking forward to it now~
Jin: Mmgh… Well, it’s great that you’re excited about it, I guess.
But I do feel like the stage is no place to bring your thirst for revenge, or any other motives.
It was from giving into those kinds of scummy, dishonest thoughts that both me and your dad wound up losing our way.
Jun: ……
Jin: And besides. You act like it’ll be such a breeze to take them down, but our brats here are pretty talented themselves…
They may still be little babies without much experience, but don’t underestimate ‘em.
If you let your guard down, you’ll be the ones getting eaten up.
You don’t wanna repeat your dad’s failures either, right?
Jun: ...Thank you very much for the advice. I’ll really take it to heart, Jin Sagami.
