Kuro: ...Speaking o' which, I heard that Tsukinaga guy's been seen around school lately. Has he finally made a return?
I haven't seen him in class, that's for sure.
Nazuna: Ah... Oh yeah, I think I did hear something about that. His suspension was supposed to have ended a long time ago, but he still hasn't come back to school.
To be honest, I thought he'd dropped out.
Kuro: Well, wherever he shows his face, it spells trouble. He's a wild one, after all.
Why he isn't counted as one of the Five Eccentrics is seriously beyond me.
And just when things were startin' to get a little more peaceful at Yumenosaki, too...
If Tsukinaga goes berserk again, he's gonna give the ol' boss an ulcer.
Leo: Wahahahahaha! 'Morning, all! Guten morgen! ☆
Nazuna: Whoa, where'd you come from?! Geez, speak of the devil...
So you really came back to school, Leo-chin! Long time no see~♪
Leo: Who?
Nazuna: You forgot who I am?! Ouch! We're supposed to be classmates!
Leo: Wait! Stop right there! Don't say a thing!
I'll guess—no, I'll imagine it! In my little noggin, endless stories and countless operas are wailing their first cries into this world! Wahahahaha! ☆
So you're my classmate, huh? That means this is 3-B's room! Nice!
I got a little lost back there... This school's so complex and mysterious and I just can't figure it out!
So where's my seat? Here? Oh this one's good, just the perfect spot of sunlight! It's like my brains are goin' through photosynthesis! Oh man, this looks like the perfect place for a nap. ♪
Nazuna: Hey, that's my seat! You can't just sit there! If I'm still standing when class starts, I'm gonna get marked as late!
Leo: Wahaha! ☆ What's up with you? You're adorable!
Oh, maybe you're a fairy! Why're you trying to lead me astray, huh? If you're a fairy, then serenade my ears with some witty poems!
Nazuna: Is this some weird form of scolding?! K-Kuro-chin, help...
Kuro: There, there. Hey, Tsukinaga, you're stressin' Nito out here. What's got you so hyped up first thing in the morning, anyway?
Leo: Ah, Kuro! It's been a while! Man, you're as huge as ever! ♪
Are you a giant? Ooh, maybe I'm in some fairytale land right now? Wait a sec!
Don't go adding new characters when I haven't even gotten the plot down yet! So what's my role? Hero? Monster?
No—I've gotta be the king! I've always been the king with no clothes! Wahahaha! ☆ [1]
Ahhh, I can write something with this! My creativity's just bursting to come out! I feel a masterpiece coming on! An opera! I'm a genius, wahahahaha! ☆
Envy me from the grave, Wagner! Gnash your teeth and watch me, Shakespeare! I'll weave together a masterpiece with my own two hands—with my very own lifeforce... ☆
Nazuna: Ah! You can't just doodle all over the walls and floor! Cut it out! You're not a toddler!
No, don't start with the music and notes, too! The teacher's gonna be vewy angwy!
C'mon, we've already got all the teachers side-eyeing our class thanks to the Three Eccentrics!
Leo: Three? Huh, thought there were five of 'em.
Wait, I heard a lot happened while I was away, but why're there only three now? Mrghhh...?
Wait a sec! Don't tell me! Lemme imagine it, okay? I wonder who went missing...
And why? Whoa, it's all so deep! Thought of a punchline too, did ya, God?
But until it's all confirmed and reality hands me the boring true answer, this lil' head of mine contains a boundless treasure trove of possible stories!
An endless stream of tales, granted to me and me alone... ☆
Ahhh, it's still not enough! I need more time! Quick, somebody! I need like, a thousand more arms for this! Like one of those thousand-armed buddhas! Wahahaha... ☆
Nazuna: U-um, alright... Leo-chin sure hasn't changed, has he?
Kuro: You're right about that. Looks like things are boutta get even more outta hand, huh...?

[1] In !, Leo often referred to himself as 裸の王様 (hadaka no ousama, lit. "the naked king"). However, "The Naked King" is actually the Japanese title for the classic fable "The Emperor's New Clothes". This is a bit tricky in English as Enstars so often plays off the Japanese title (notably referring to the "king" bit with Leo being king of Knights and all)...
In dialogue, I've left stuff like "naked king", but I set the name of the next set of chapters to "The King's New Clothes" to make the allusion a little clearer.↑
