Holy Knights Chapter 1

Season: Winter

---

[StarFes Stage (First Half)]

Tsukasa: Everyone! It is now the day of the long-awaited Star Light Festival!

It is a magnificent stage where our great name, Knights, shall thunder to even greater heights!

Have you prepared your fighting spirit? I too will depart for the stage with the greatest and highest of tensions…☆

Leo: Suo~, shut up.

Tsukasa: Wh- What do you mean by shut up?! There was no need to say that!

You are not all still lethargic, right?

On this battlefield, letting down your guard will bring everything to an immediate end. If we continue with the sluggishness we usually have, we will only bring ourselves to ruin.

Leo: Who do you think you’re talking to, Newbie? Don’t go underestimating your Knights Oniisans, wahaha☆

StarFes is a long stretch from morning to night. If you dive in right now you’re gonna wear yourself out, so I’m telling ya, calm down.

Take a deep breath. They say weak dogs bark more, don’t they?

You might be okay because you’re still young, but leave some strength for the moment you squeeze the life out of your opponent.

If you don’t, you’re going to sabotage yourself. Getting rest when you can is the law of the battlefield.

Suo~, if you understand, answer me!

Tsukasa: Ah, yes! I apologize... Have I, in my inexperience, said something impertinent…?

Leo: It’s fine. It’s more fun when you’re so resilient. Brimming with vigor is what’s good about being young.

If you use that wisely, it could become the breakthrough we need to overcome hardships.

I’m actually watching and evaluating you, Suo~… So don’t draw your sword so easily. Thrust forward at my command.

It’ll be fine, war is my greatest specialty.♪

To those little babies who think Knights is a group of nice, happy Oniisans, let’s drench them with cold water.

Let us have the whole universe recognize our fearsomeness once again.

Let us rule, Knights, and sweep away the small fry.

Ritsu: Ahaha. Ousama, you always slip right into a speech…♪

Leo: What’s wrong with that? This way is more exciting! Rittsu, what’s the strategy this time?

Ritsu: Hehe, I thought of the perfect plan~

There are more units performing than predicted. If we’re careless, it really will all be over without having done anything.

Leo: Then, let’s push forward at lightning speed. They say soldiers must charge forward regardless, and I don’t like the idea of just sitting and watching other people’s lives.

So, why don’t we crush that upstart Trickstar or something first?

You all fought with them a lot while I was gone… I’m a little interested.♪

Ritsu: Mnn… that’s more like the main dish.

The StarFes is like a going away party for Trickstar before they challenge the SS, or something.

If we eliminate them too early, we’ll look like the bad guys.

Arashi: Ufufu. We used to be first-class villains, I don’t want to go back to that now…

We’re not the shining knights of justice in fairy tales, but…

For the fans who have such idealistic visions of us, we can’t betray their hopes.♪

Izumi: That’s right, making dreams come true is what idols do. All that mundane realistic stuff can be done behind the scenes.

In front of the fans, we should be the proud knights they dream of.

Arashi: Oh my, Izumi-chan, after flipping out in DDD, you’re not one to talk.♪

Izumi: Hah? How long do you plan to dig up the past like that? That part of you is soooo annoying!

Arashi: Ahaha. They say the fault of another is a good teacher, Izumi-chan. You’re always so bothered about the past…

What’s wrong? You seem a little moody today.

Izumi: Mm… it’s none of your business, Naru-kun.

It’s fine, I’m not some amateur. I’m not so soft or inexperienced as to let my condition worsen with the state of my mind.

Ritsu: Ah, I got it. You tried to give a Christmas present to Yuu-kun, but you were flat-out rejected.

Just give up already, Secchan.♪

Izumi: No, you know Yuu-kun’s in Trickstar, right?

I mean, he’s the main actor today, and he’s busy so we just couldn’t see each other, I’m not being hated or avoided or anything, okay?!

Ritsu: Ahaha. You’re so desperate lately, it’s actually amusing…♪

Leo: Don’t poke fun at people’s weaknesses. That’s a bad habit of yours, Rittsu.

Sena~… If your scarf wasn’t accepted, I’ll take it.♪ It gets surprisingly cold while we’re waiting.

Izumi: I gave you a hat and gloves, didn’t I? You’re a boy, you can handle a little cold.

Leo: Okaaay, fine, Mom…

Speaking of which, Sena, you don’t like the heat but you’re okay with cold, huh? I’m the other way around, and my whole body won’t stop shivering. I’m really gonna freeze to death.

Izumi: You’re not just trembling with excitement? We just took back the stage, and if you show this unsightly side of yourself, you’re going to be kicked aside without mercy.

…Show me how cool you are, Ousama.

Leo: Alrighty, I will. Come on Suo~, let’s go, stop spacing out.

Tsukasa: Ah, yes. Truly, the way everyone seems to change in an instant between peacetime and wartime… it is strange.

It is reassuring, however. I will chase after you all today as well.♪

Leo: Wahaha. You’re not a retainer but a knight, right? Come on and fight!

There’s no room for guessing on that stage out there, I don’t know if I can afford to protect you.

You’re not still a baby toddling on his feet, right?

Tsukasa: Yes! The heart of this Tsukasa Suou is the same as all of you!

I will put my all into this. Let us unfold a magnificent tale of knights and romance...♪
