[Soundproof Practice Room]
Tsukasa: One, Two, Three… Okay, perfect! Marvelous...☆
Fufu. I do not think highly of singing one’s own praises. Instead, I would like to ask your opinion as a capable producer, Oneesama.
I have been doing a little more training lately… No need to hold back, it would be of a great benefit to me if you could honestly point out anything I am lacking.♪
One, Two, Three...♪
Oneesama? What’s wrong? You’ve been helping me with lessons all this time…
It is no surprise that you are tired. Please allow yourself to rest.♪
Shall I prepare some tea?
Hm. You say it looks perfect to the untrained eye, so you cannot offer advice…? You are being modest.♪
Oneesama, are you not the remarkable producer, known to all in Yumenosaki, who has provided guidance for countless units…?
Please have more confidence.♪
Hm… You say you would feel sorry if you gave me thoughtless advice and I ended up forming a weird habit?
Well, I suppose you are not an expert, Oneesama.
It would be nice if I could request guidance from an instructor or someone like that.
But Judgment is a rank B1 live - in other words, an unofficial live - so it is rather difficult to request aid from the school.
You had to make up reasons for acquiring the songs as well, right? Such as using the songs in some other kind of work...
Any more than that and we would be suspected.
Hm. Oneesama, have you been learning composing from Leader lately?
It appears you have been learning how to make costumes from Akatsuki's Kiryu-senpai as well, though…?
You say it would be more convenient to be able to take care of it yourself? Oneesama, you are certainly overflowing with the desire to improve. How wonderful, I deeply respect you...♪
But Leader appears to let his guard down around you.
He won’t listen to a word I say, and yet he teaches you all sorts of things…
Truly amazing, Oneesama, even that hopeless weirdo… or rather that odd… uhh, unique person seems to think well of you.♪
But even so, teaching composing…
If Leader has the time to do that, I would like for him to participate more in our unit activities.
Ahh, I do not mean to blame you, Oneesama!
For the idols of Yumenosaki Academy, it would be desirable for you to blossom your talents in every direction.
Oneesama, what kind of song are you making? I want to listen!
No, I want to sing, to dance the songs you make...♪
Hm, it’s not at a level high enough to show people yet? What a shame… but please allow me to enjoy your music someday...♪
With this as my dream, I shall exercise diligence every day. I shall not be tripped up at such a time, by such a low-ranking commoner.
For a future of glory and honor, I shall work myself to the bone.♪
Anyway, I've only noticed this now, but… where have my seniors from Knights gone?
I would not want to think they switched sides for Leader…
But even if that were so, I am still prepared to win all the way through Judgment alone.
No, I will believe in them. Though they may have many personality problems, they are my seniors in Knights, and they deserve respect.
We Knights value individuality. We are a gathering of individuals, and we do not unite.
But I want to believe that through the experience we’ve gained from many, many battles, we have formed a bond between us.
I want to believe we’ve become comrades with the same will.
No, that we have become like a family. Oneesama…
Sometimes, when I return to the studio, I almost want to say “I’m home”.
So I do not wear out the friendliness of my Oniisamas… I want to be by their side, at least as a youngest child who isn’t too much of a handful...
And as a member of Knights, from now on.
I am the newest and most inexperienced of Knights. For now, the only thing I can do is train so I do not drag everyone down.
Isn't that right, Oneesama.♪
Ritsu: Yup. Suu-chan sure is a hard worker...♪
Tsukasa: Gwa?! E-Excuse me, uh, Ritsu-senpai? Since when were you there?
Ritsu: I’m anywhere, anytime… in dark places, comfy sleeping places. Fufufu, yaaawn♪
Anzu told me we had practice in this room today. I knew for sure I’d forget, so I went ahead and slept in the storage room.
I was on standby. Aren’t I a good boy…?♪
Tsukasa: Why in the storage? That’s not very sanitary, you know?
Ritsu: Compared to Anija’s coffin, any place is the greatest napping spot. It’s so bright in here with the lights turned on…
But it’s a calming pitch black in the storage room...♪
If it’s too bright I can’t sleep very well...♪
Tsukasa: Of course the lights would be turned on in here. If you cannot see the state of the ground beneath you, you could trip on something.
...But on a relatively minor note, could I ask you to stop calling me “Suu-chan”?
Honestly, every one of my Knights seniors is much too crude!
Ritsu: You're so stiff, Suu-chan… Just chill out, relax♪
Tsukasa: But Ritsu-senpai, aren’t you too careless?
It would be trouble for me if you aren’t strict with yourself when you need to be. Though perhaps this might be too forward coming from a novice such as myself.
Ritsu: I hate being nagged~ just praise me instead. I’m trying my best to get my days and nights back in order so I can be awake for Judgment day.
So… I asked Anzu to wake me up every day one hour earlier than before.
If I keep going like this, maybe my eyes will be wide open for the day of~?
Mnn… I slept well. Maybe you can call this jetlag… My head’s all fuzzy from trying to correct my body clock by force…
Anzu, gimme a drink to wake me up.♪
Hm? No, not tea, I’m saying I want blood...♪
Tsukasa: Ritsu-senpai! I, Tsukasa Suou, will not look past causing injury to Oneesama!
Ritsu: I’m not gonna cause injury to her… It’s an expression of love… well, not really.
Mnn, my whole body is all creaky from sleeping in that small space. I dunno how Anija sleeps so soundly in that little coffin…
