[StarFes Stage (Last Half - Knights)]
Tsukasa: …
Izumi: You look bothered, Kasa-kun. Stop pouting, it’s not very attractive, you know?
Ritsu: Ahaha. Isn’t he just tired after all of this?
We wasted some mental energy helping out Valkyrie too, so in a way, the first half was pretty rough.
Leo: I told you, right? If you jump in right from the start, you’ll just wear yourself out! You okay? Need to sit out the second half, Suo~?
Tsukasa: It is no problem, my seniors.
I always say this, but please do not treat me like a child. I am fine, I can still continue.
Arashi: Fufu. You’re frustrated that our results in the first half didn’t go as high as we’d hoped, right, Tsukasa-chan?
Though we didn’t reach up to fine or Trickstar’s level, I thought it was a pretty reasonable result.
Tsukasa: That’s just it, Narukami-senpai. Stopping to back up Valkyrie in the middle of it is no excuse.
That was just a natural action grounded in knightly spirit, and the duty of nobility.
And it seems there was also trouble, both big and small, among other units.
So, in place of the difference in pure strength… there came a difference in performance order. It makes me frustrated.
I thought we could win. As we are now, as Knights, together with my honorable seniors…
But we could not make it. It was an unexpected shock.
Arashi: Let’s bounce back from it, Tsukasa-chan. There wasn’t much we could do, especially against Trickstar, who were a dreadfully strong force this time around, right?
Ritsu: Yep. I heard from Ma~kun earlier…
Looks like Trickstar sent fine, or rather Ecchan, a letter of challenge.
In the SS at the end of the year, they’ll be representing Yumenosaki as the highest achieving unit.
So they’re determined to get first place in StarFes.
If they can’t get the grand prize in a competition that includes almost all the units at Yumenosaki…
They have no right to be in the SS, or so they believe.
If they couldn’t win through the first half and end up in first place, they were going to withdraw from the SS.
They were fighting with their backs against the wall all this time, like their lives depended on it.
In reality, if they said they were withdrawing from the SS this late in the game, it’d be impossible.
For about half a year already… an enormous amount of investments and people have been used to support them.
Izumi: They couldn’t possibly bring it all back to square one. They’re as egocentric as always, our protagonists…
But that’s fine, boys are better when they can’t see so far ahead.♪
It seems like Yuu-kun had been avoiding me because he thought if I knew all that, I’d worry about him too much.
I’m so glad, he doesn’t actually hate me.♪
Arashi: Ahh, so that’s why you’re in a weirdly good mood. Yuuki-kun isn't the type to be good at lying. If I was in that position, I’d avoid Izumi-chan too.
Isn’t that great, though? Trickstar managed to win first place in the first half and proved they have the right to go to the SS.
Everything turned out alright, ufufu♪
Ritsu: But learning all this after the fact is like a splash of cold water. I wish Ma~kun had come talked to me about it…
Especially after I woke up and cheered for him, as thanks for always receiving his care.
Ecchan definitely wouldn’t have pulled his punches either.
If Trickstar really didn’t win first place, didn’t they say their right to be in the SS would have been revoked?
Leo: That’s true. That blockhead emperor might be a rotten fiend, but he’s methodical. A man’s art is his pride.
He wouldn’t go easy on anyone foolish enough to go back on something they’d vowed to do.
These Trickstar guys are pretty good… I’m getting more and more interested, wahaha☆
In any case, we’re also right in the midst of the battlefield, so we don’t have the time to be entertaining our thoughts about other units.
Bring back your energy! It’s almost our turn.
Tsukasa: I understand. Or rather, I’ve already gotten fired up. Our greatest enemies are better stronger, our journey better riddled with hardship.
Is that not right, Leader?
Leo: That’s right! Wahaha, finally you have a good face on too, Suo~!
Let’s enjoy the hardships, go on a rampage, laughing and soaked in blood!♪
Only at the end of a harsh journey do we find our utopia. Let’s aim for that, together.
The holy grail we call glory, obtainable only as spoils from a terrible conflict - let us take it all for ourselves.
Wahaha! I actually can’t stop smiling! It’s the same for you all, right, my Knights...☆
Tsukasa: Yes. As your Knights… no, as our Knights… this evening, let us magnificently unfold our legend, fit to be passed on into eternity.
(To everyone in Trickstar… I shall give up the stage as a Christmas present to you all, just this time.)
(I do not yet know the satisfaction of sitting at the throne at the top of Yumenosaki Academy. Please have your fill of it.)
(However, someday I will have you relinquish it to me. I believe you all know this veeery well, but I am quite greedy.)
(I believe in acquiring everything I want, no matter what.)
(Tori-kun. You must be frustrated as well. You have cried loudly waking up from nightmares of your loss to Trickstar in DDD…)
(I have heard from Fushimi-senpai.)
(Even now, I’ve had nightmares many times. But I believe that in time, they will be covered with a shining reality, a shining future, and eventually disappear.)
(On our respective battlefields, let us raise our swords and claim victory.)
(To you, my sworn enemies. I am honored to have been born in the same era as you all.)
(Fufu. I am sure Santa Claus will gift us something nice...♪)
