Leo: Yeah, 'bout time the complaints started rolling in.
I mean, Anzu told me all about it! She said Knights was just oozing with discontent! Wahahaha! ☆
Oh, and there she is! You sure show up everywhere! Are you God or something, forever omnipresent?!
That's pretty interesting, but forget it for now! Gimme some tea, will ya~♪
Tsukasa: Y-You knave! You dare to treat Onee-sama like a servant! Truly, who do you think you are?!
Leo: Calm down, geez. If you blow a gasket like that, you're gonna ruin your pretty little face, Newbie. ♪
Tsukasa: A-Again with that "Newbie" nonsense! Could you please remember my name already?!
Leo: Hey, well, I don't really know you.
So I wanted to test your mettle, and also Knights as a whole... That's why I had you perform nearly every single day, you know?
Newbie, I gotta say... are you even trying? Today was preeetty awful. I honestly couldn't even stand to watch.
Are you even aware that you're dragging everyone else down?
Before you get catty at me, have a gooood long think about it: just who do you think is dragging Knights' name through the mud right now? Huh?
And to be clear, this is my Knights we're talking about.
I left Yumenosaki for a while only to come back to this hot mess. Almost makes me wanna regret coming back in the first place.
Don't tell me you guys can't do anything without me?
Tsukasa: Mngh? W-Well... who was the one who broke my concentration, hm?
Leo: Look, Newbie... This is gonna sound condescending, but there's no point in making excuses after the fact. Not that I'm one to talk, really.
But if you can't show your best stuff on stage where you're supposed to...
Then no matter how much you strut and swagger around afterward, you'll just look stupid! Like the biggest joke of the century! Wahahaha! ☆
Tsukasa: Ngh... Mnghhh?
Izumi: Pipe down already, Kasa-kun. You're just wasting your breath whining to this guy, seriously.
He's not gonna listen to a word, okay? You'll only stress yourself out.
Tsukasa: B-But! But Sena-senpai, I am so very frustrated! And what's worse is I cannot refute a single thing he's saying! Am I... a burden to you all?
Arashi: Of course not, Tsukasa-chan. You're still a first year, and you don't have much experience. It's completely understandable.
It's clear to me that you've been working harder than anyone else...♪
Leo: Don't spoil him, Naru. Geez, Knights sure lost its bite while I was gone, too.
Getting all cozy with each other gets in the way of growth—of evolution, even! You guys have hit rock bottom! Go home and polish up your basics till they shine like a sword!
You heard me! But no point pitching a fit about how things are right now. We should be thinking about the future!
Let's get constructive! We're gonna rebuild my kingdom from the ground up, right here and now! ♪
Tsukasa: W-What do you mean by all this? Leader, could you please explain in a way that makes sense?!
Leo: Just work harder to understand, Newbie!
Mmkay, well, nothing's set in stone just yet, buuut... around this time next week, we're gonna have a Duel. I've already asked Anzu, and she's working on the details as we speak.
Tsukasa: A-A Duel? What now?! We're already exhausted from having concerts day after day, and you do this? How outrageous!
Leo: Oh, c'mon, you're young. Won't kill you to push through it, right?
When you're on the battlefield, you think you can just turn to your enemy and say, "Excuse me, I'm very tired. Can we please take a break?"
You think you can look a spray of bullets in the face and ask 'em to kindly wait a sec...? Is this a joke to you?
Ahhh, whoa, that's actually pretty funny! I could write a whole song about it! Ah, it's come, it's come—inspiration!
G-Gotta write! Aw crap, but all I got is the floor and this marker...!
