Tsukasa: As a Knight, As a King (Feature Scout 5*) - Chapter 1
Many thanks to Nazunyan for proofing!
Title: As a Knight, As a King
Season: Summer
Writer: Yu-masu

[Cafe COCHI]
Tsukasa: (It's nearly time for our meeting, but I don't see Onee-sama anywhere.)
(Oh?)
(A message on WholeHands... Hm. It appears Onee-sama's current engagement is running a bit late.)
("Do not let it trouble you. Please, come at your leisure, and do take care on your way back." ...And, send.)
(Well then, while I wait, I shall focus on Knights. There's plenty of detail work to do—schedule adjustments at the members' requests, for instance.)
(Leading my juniors at Yumenosaki is my duty as well, after all.)
(...Mm? Something smells sweet...)
(Ah, so it was a dessert. It appears to be a special sort served only for a limited time. I should order it once Onee-sama arrives. ♪)
(Oh, but she's quite busy, isn't she... She may not have the time to spare for a snack.)
(But it's because she's busy that taking breaks is all the more important; besides, they say that sweets are good for exhaustion. I'll try suggesting it.)
...Ah, Onee-sama! Tsukasa is over here!
Working hard, I see. ...No, I wasn't waiting long.
Besides, as long as it's you, Onee-sama, I would gladly wait however many hours it takes.
First, let us order... Ah, you ordered a drink at the entrance already, I see.
You wish to talk about my "personal outfit"? Yes, certainly.
(I hadn’t so much as a chance to talk about sweets...)
(No, I shouldn't be too discouraged.)
(I think that somewhere in my heart, I'd hoped to share an enjoyable teatime with Onee-sama.)
(But we are here for my personal outfit—in other words, this is a business meeting. I must compose myself.)
Now then, I'd like to see the design. Please hand me your sketchbook.
(Marvelous! It's a knight motif just as I asked—at once gallant yet luxurious. ♪)
(Mm? But with this crown and scepter, it seems a bit more king-like...?)
Ah... I see, you've based this design off my status in Knights.
Only I, the King, would be allowed to wear this. It's certainly fitting as a personal outfit.
However, er... It pains me to critique a design that you created just for me, but...
(...Hm?)
(While it's true that I admire the chivalric warriors of legend, being in the unit Knights has shifted my image to be more knightly, like our unit outfits.)
(Even the design that came to my mind just now would suit anyone in Knights.)
(Personal outfits are specially made costumes for each and every idol—)
(Would it be correct to use a knight motif for Tsukasa Suou...?)
...My apologies. I didn't mean to suddenly fall silent. Please forget what I just said.
I thank you for the wonderful idea. May I borrow this sketchbook for a night to think of how to brush up this design?
Yes, let us reconvene tomorrow. Good day to you, Onee-sama.

[Tsukasa, Shinobu, and Souma's Room]
Tsukasa: (Hmmm... What a conundrum.)
(Anyone can critique, but to change Onee-sama's idea, I must come up with a fitting alternative.)
(But as for the design in question... I'm simply drawing a blank.)
(Perhaps I cannot think of anything because somewhere in my mind, I've already accepted Onee-sama's idea. Mnnngh...)
Shinobu: Suou-kun, what has you looking so intensely at that sketchbook?
Souma: Mayhap you are troubled over your "personal outfit"?
Tsukasa: What? How did you know?
Souma: I've seen that sketchbook before. It belongs to Anzu-dono, no?
Tsukasa: Ah... That's right. The both of you have already received your personal outfits.
Shinobu: Indeed! We are your personal outfit "seniors", so to speak. Nihihi! ♪
Now, what worries you? I'm happy to lend you my advice, if you'll have me!
Souma: I would gladly, as well. I should hope our wisdom can come of good use to you.
Tsukasa: Thank you very much. Well... I'm having trouble deciding the motif for my outfit.
Onee-sama's design is certainly fantastic... but I felt I wanted something slightly different, so I asked for some time to think.
However, I cannot come up with anything concrete...
Kanzaki-senpai, Shinobu-kun... How did you choose the theme for your outfits?
Souma: 'Twas barely a choice—I am a warrior. I knew from the beginning that I would wear traditional garb.
Shinobu: I said I wanted to be a ninja! Ninjas and I share an inseparable bond~ Nin nin! ♪
Souma: I am a warrior, and Sengoku is a ninja. I'd think Suou would naturally choose to be a knight...?
Tsukasa: Yes. I'd thought so myself, but...
I became fond of the knightly image after joining Knights.
The Suous are a warrior-class family, so I'd only thought it only natural to join Knights...
But if it had been a different unit, I might have aimed for something else.
Shinobu: Hm, hm. This is just hypothetical, but if you were to join another unit, which one would it be?
Tsukasa: Oh, um... I can't quite picture it, but...
Perhaps the noble fine, the righteous Ryuseitai, or even Akatsuki, as I am a son of warriors.
Souma: Truly? Among the many units here, I am honored that you would select Akatsuki.
We have three brave and noble heroes here today. Let us sing a song of Akatsuki together!
Tsukasa: Hm, an Akatsuki song...? I see. It may serve as a hint, and besides—it could be a breath of fresh air for me.
Assuming you would sing your own part, Kanzaki-senpai, I shall sing Hasumi-senpai's part.
Shinobu: Then I will have Kiryu-dono's part. Now then, start the music! ♪
