Tsukasa Substory: Yoichi's Revenge
Dec. 7th, 2019 04:36 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
shivalriesThanks Lee for proofreading!
T/N: This little substory is unlockable through Tsukasa's medal shop 3*! Additionally, many of the lines directly reference the events in the Robin Hood gacha story (Leo 5*, Tsukasa 4*), so if you haven't read that, I highly suggest giving it a look before this!
T/N 2: "Yoichi's Revenge" most likely comes from the legendary Heian Period samurai Nasu-no-Yoichi. According to the Heike Monogatari, Yoichi's enemies placed a fan on a pole on their ship and taunted his clan to shoot it down, and Yoichi succeeded in one shot while mounted on his horse, half-submerged in ocean water. As for what that has to do with Enstars, Tsukasa's specialty is mounted archery! Pretty cool, huh?

Tsukasa: (...Hm, how long has it been since I’ve last put on my hakama? It certainly feels like a while. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been busy with idol work?)
(I could say the same for my school uniform and idol outfits, but it feels nice to wear different outfits to match one’s surroundings. A simple change of clothes helps me feel more focused.)
(...? I hear someone humming. Do we have a visitor?)
(Well, classes have already ended, so I suppose it wouldn’t be strange for my archery club seniors to be here.)
Leo: ♪~♪~♪
Tsukasa: So that voice was you, Leader. Composing out here again, I see…
This place may be extraterritorial, but I would still prefer it if you didn’t spread papers all over the floor.
Leo: Hey! Who’s the scoundrel trying to make off with my papers, huh?! No one gets to take them from me! Grrrr!
Oh, it’s Suo~. You finally came, huh? You’re late! How long were you gonna make me wait for you? I got sick and tired of it!
Tsukasa: You were waiting for me? Did you have some business with me?
Leo: Didn’t you say “I will attend archery club tomorrow after school” or something like that? And since you suck at archery, I was curious to see if you got any better.
Tsukasa: How tasteless of you, Leader. Firstly, I’m certain you’re aware that I do not “suck” at archery.
Leo: Nope, I’m not. The only reason you hit the target last time was because I acted as your horse, right?
Well, I’m not gonna be the horse this time. C’mon, pick up a bow and start shooting~♪
Tsukasa: Please do not try to wear away at my concentration. We are here in the archery range, so how about you do some archery too, Leader?
Leo: Nah, I’m good. I didn’t bring my hakama.
I only came here to watch you shoot, anyway. So get shootin’ already~♪
Keito: Archery is not a spectacle. Don’t make such a ruckus in here, for God’s sake.
Tsukasa: Hasumi-senpai.
Keito: Just let him be, Suou. We’ll focus on our own club activities by ourselves.
...Hah!
Tsukasa: Marvelous! Excellent marksmanship, Hasumi-senpai! ♪ Now, my turn…
(It seems I’m still quite nervous in front of Leader.)
(But knights cannot choose their battlefield. I shall prove here and now that I can shoot well even without a horse.)
...Here I go!
Leo: Wahahahahaha! ☆ You still suck, Suo~!
Tsukasa: Ngh, I’ve hit the bullseye before, though…
Keito: Don’t rile him up, Tsukinaga.
...Looks like the issue’s in your form, Suou. Try straightening your back and relaxing your shoulders.
Tsukasa: Alright, I will try. Breathe in...and out…
(I must focus and keep my mind clear… This is my chance to show off the fruits of my labor, but I mustn’t worry about it so much. I need only shoot as normal-- That is all.)
(It’s still frustrating, though. It’s taking all I have just to catch up to my seniors as an idol.)
(But even so, I’m working hard every single day to improve. I wish to grow strong and fulfill my role as a member of Knights.)
(If only a small fragment, I wish you to witness my personal growth-- Leader!)
Tsukasa: ...Hah!
Bullseye! Did you see that, Leader? I hit it right in the center! ♪
You cannot badmouth my skills now-- No, even if you try, I will not allow you to...☆
....Huh?
Leo: …~♪
Tsukasa: That posture… A-Are you…?
Keito: Indeed, it appears he’s lost himself in his songs again.
Tsukasa: What? But you were the one who said you came to see my skill, Leader. Agh…
Keito: He always just does as he pleases. Don’t mind him so much. Rather, your form just now was quite good. You should shoot another arrow while you still remember the feeling.
Tsukasa: Understood!
(One hour later)
Tsukasa: ……
(Neither Leader nor I have said a word to each other, but in exchange, I was able to focus on my bow.)
(I’m quite pleased with the work I’ve done now. I suppose I’ll wrap up for the day.)
Leo: ...I finished! It’s done! The title will be: “When You Hear a ‘Shwup’ Sound feat. Serious Glasses Guy”!
Keito: Are you trying to offend me…?
Leo: Don’t say that! This is my respect for you! I felt the inspiration bubbling up the instant I heard your bows!
A harmonious duo: Keito’s steady arrows, no hint of hesitation, and Suo~’s still unskilled but powerful shots! Here, you can use it as the archery club’s theme song if you like!
Tsukasa: Japanese archery is about quiet concentration. Even if you give us a theme song, we can’t use it anywhere.
At any rate, is that where you got your inspiration…? I know that I yet lack the proper skill, but still, it frustrates me.
Leo: Fufu, groan all you like. You’re still a widdle baby, you know. Are you done growing already?
No, there’s no way you are. Grow big, Suo~... Big enough to surpass me!
Though it’s not that easy, I’ll have you know! Wahahahaha! ☆
Tsukasa: (...Leader. You weren’t ignoring me, were you? You were really watching me.)
(You’re always so nonsensical, always pushing me around, but...if you were not such a powerful person, I wouldn’t call you my leader.)
Leo: ...Ahh, it’s come, it’s come-- Inspiration!
Wait, I feel a second movement coming to me! Hey, go shoot some arrows! ‘Til morning, if you can!
Keito: Are you stupid? We can’t possibly go on all night.
Tsukasa: Agreed. Do you think we have infinite stamina?
(Leader had me impressed for a moment, but I take it back. Being pushed around in unit practice is one thing, but if he does this in club activities, it will take a toll on my health.)
(Ahh, but I did end up thinking, just a little, that it might be fun having Leader around… ♪)
