[StarFes Stage (First Half)]
Arashi: Come on…
Can’t anyone around here be at least a bit better at this?
We could’ve all used all our words and sincerity, become kinder to others little by little, and avoided any kind of tragedy…
Why do we hurt each other? Why can we do nothing but draw blood from each other?
Tsukasa: ...Narukami-senpai, you are not as good as you say you are, either.
Arashi: What’s that?! When did this child get so cheeky?!
Am I the one being mean?! Am I?!
Tsukasa: Wah, don’t touch me! I do not like my cheek getting pinched…!
Ritsu: Don’t get all noisy backstage.
Also, I’m not as pessimistic as Nacchan is. Even if we hurt each other or draw blood, it’ll scab over.
Humans have that kind of function. A sheltered upbringing will only make one frail.
They have no choice but to live on, slathered in dirt and bacteria. Us, Valkyrie, and everyone else in this world…
If we don’t get involved with anyone, we won’t get hurt.
But that’s not truly living, Nacchan. It’s so lonely, ending one’s life inside a coffin, beneath a grave…
Isn’t that right?
Arashi: That might be true. I just feel so powerless.
Why can I do nothing but watch? Never rocking the boat, always treating things like someone else’s problem. I’m embarrassed with myself.
Tsukasa: Never rocking the boat? Preposterous… As your name implies, Narukami-senpai, you are like a storm.♪
Ritsu: Mhmm, you’re always helping us out, Nacchan. So don’t make such a face…
StarFes is still in its first half. Our battle has only just begun.
Izumi: We’re back! What’s the status?!
Tsukasa: Ah, welcome back, Sena-senpai.
The situation is as explained over the phone. As having my ringtone go off during a live would be a shame I would bear until the end of my life, may I turn off the power?
Arashi: Ahaha. Tsukasa-chan, I thought you were looking restless for a while there.♪
Leo: Wahaha☆ You shouldn’t hold back the urge to pee, Suo~!
Tsukasa: Uweh? T-That is not the issue!
Please refrain from such undignifying words, Leader! Are we Knights not more noble, splendid, and pure…?!
Leo: At least forgive some jokes to lighten the mood! You’re gonna seem intolerant of everything.
...It looks like you just barely made it, Shu. What are you gonna do now? Will you get onstage?
Shu: ...Naturally. To have others think he is being used like a doll is the disgrace of a puppeteer.
I heard about it already, but seeing it with my own eyes, I still cannot believe it. Nito is really taking action…
I suppose it would be rude of me to ask what turn of events this is.
While saying my thanks, I will take advantage of this good chance. I will not allow Valkyrie to end here.
I will hasten to the stage. ...You’ve taken care of me, I will return the favor someday.
Leo: It’s fine, it’s fine, don’t sweat it and just have fun. Even you have to, sometimes…
It’s a Christmas gift from us, just open the box and enjoy it.
Merry Christmas.♪
Shu: Thank you. ...Ah, that’s right, today is Christmas.
I thought it was just a foolish ruckus by snobbish people, a meaningless parody of the holy birthday where even the religious meaning was stripped down to its bare bones…
But it seems that, at least, miracles do happen.
Mika: ♪~♪~♪
Nazuna: ♪~♪~♪
Shu: Kagehira. Nito. Sorry I’m late.
Nazuna: ...You’re not feeling well, right? Is it okay to be up right now?
Mika: That’s right, Oshisan. We’ll do somethin’ about this live, so get warm and rest.
Nazuna: Fufu. If Valkyrie and Ra*bits formally go against each other in StarFes… one of them will have to be eliminated.
We’re comparing our vote counts right now.
But if you come back, Itsuki, Ra*bits will lose their chance of winning.
Shu: You are too modest. I looked at the reports just now, it seems those kids are working hard as well.
Well, they don’t even reach up to our feet yet… But we cannot let our guard down.
...Do not speak onstage, it conflicts with my art. Concentrate on the performance, Valkyrie’s live shows must be perfect all the time.
Though it does feel a bit like, “what’s this all of a sudden?”
Kagehira, go ahead and go further toward the front. Valkyrie’s program today is centered around you.
You must act more majestically, more like Valkyrie… more like a sovereign.
Mika: Ngah, understood, Oshisan!♪
Nazuna: Is there something I can do, Itsuki… No, Oshisan?
Shu: You are always perfect, Nito. ...That’s why you didn’t need a guiding hand like me.
I could feel this truth deep in my bones, but I became fixated with you. I couldn’t let you go.
And I pushed the role of the villain onto you. I want to believe there is a way I could repent. Nito, my cute Nito…
As for now, I only feel shame at my pitiful and immature self.
Mika: Ahaha. Oshisan, you’re the one who said not to talk but you’re talkin’ the most of all of us.♪
Shu: Fufu, forgive me. It seems I am getting deeply emotional.
I’ll concentrate. ...Ahh, this view, it is like a happy fantasy seen in a child’s dreams. Dreams are only dreams, we must wake from them someday. But, just for now…
Let us sing together, my Valkyrie. My greatest masterpiece, and everything I have ever loved.
