Leo: ~♪~♪~♪
Wahaha! It’s come, it’s come, inspiration!
In this state, I can write a masterpiece. wait for me, Haydn-sensei...☆
Yup yup, one’s environment is really important!
The snow absorbs all the sound so I can concentrate, and my body gets so cold my consciousness gets fuzzy and I start tripping!
Okay, today I’m gonna carve another masterpiece into the world, one that’ll remain in history forever~
...Mmmph?!
Tsukasa: Leader! I cannot believe you…!
Leo: Oh, Suo~! You’re too energetic for this cold, that’s good, good! Playing around throwing snowballs, you’re still a child, huh...♪
Come on, let’s fight! I don’t hold back even in snowball fights...☆
Tsukasa: Jesus Christ!
Leo: Whoa?! Come on, actual kicking is against the rules!
If you don’t follow international law, you’ll be left out of the global economy! In certain cases, putting a rock inside a snowball is permitted!
Tsukasa: I do not understand! I’ve searched all over for you, Leader!
Do not always, always go missing as if it’s normal, I am going to have to implant a GPS into you, you know?!
Leo: Okay, okay, calm down. I’m sorry for worrying you, don’t get so worked up.
Sorry, I just got a little lost… This school’s too big, so I ended up getting a bit stranded.♪
Tsukasa: I would like to ask, exactly how could you get stranded inside the school…?!
Leo: Wahaha, I’m the kind of genius that can pull off things no one else can do!
Anyway, the air gets dry in winter, you’re gonna hurt your throat if you keep yelling like that.
Tsukasa: Instead of worrying about me, first take care of your own body…
If you continue sitting in this field of snow, of course you’ll catch cold.
We should always be mindful of our health. Soon enough, one of our school’s most distinguished seasonal events…
The S1, “Star Light Festival” will be held.
With as much or even more enthusiasm than the recent “Halloween Party”, in order to further increase the fame of Knights, we must exert ourselves to the fullest.♪
...Though you may not have interest in fame or influence, Leader.
Leo: I understand their importance. Even that Mozart bowed his head to the aristocracy and was made to write songs he didn’t want to, just to get work.
If you get famous, you can omit that part.
Gahh, don’t talk about Mozart! It’s irritating!
Tsukasa: Eh, you’re the one who talked about him, Leader?! Why is there no logical connection?
Leo: Ugh… Anyway, you’re saying we should work hard together for this starlight something-or-other, right?
I got it, I got it, I’m in the middle of making a new song for that right now.
Tsukasa: I do think composing is important, but I mean, let’s go to lessons as well, okay…
The other seniors from Knights have already gathered in our stronghold, the studio.
Leo: Ah, the Sena House. It’s comfortable there, I like it too.♪
Tsukasa: Leader, why do you call the studio such an odd name as “Sena House”?
Leo: But it smells the same as Sena’s house…
Hm, what?!
Tsukasa: What’s wrong, Leader? D-Don’t just suddenly yell out like that!
Leo: Yeah, sorry… Hey Suo~, is that Naru over there? Am I seeing it right?
Arashi: …
Tsukasa: Ah, it does appear to be Narukami-senpai. Why in such a place, though?
Honestly. I’d told everyone that Knights will gather in the studio.
Leader aside, to think even Narukami-senpai is wandering around out here.
I look like an idiot, wasting time going every which way… Everyone, please at least make an effort to keep in step.
Hey! Narukami-senpai, I do not know what you are doing, but--
...mmph?!
Leo: Suo~, shut up for a bit.
Tsukasa: W-Why? And don’t touch me so casually!
Leo: Yeah, sorry sorry. It’s just that Naru is making a strangely serious face right now, as if praying... So let’s not interrupt.
Tsukasa: Praying? It does seem that there’s something like a grave in front of Narukami-senpai. But why is something like that at school?
Leo: It’s not a grave, it’s that other thing— a cenotaph. It’s peaceful now so you wouldn’t know, but before there were quite a few guys whose dreams were crushed, and they committed suicide…
There’s a cenotaph here to pacify their spirits.
Tsukasa: Ahh, I get it. In my family’s garden, there is a cenotaph honoring the great spirits of our ancestors.
However, why pray there? Did someone close to Narukami-senpai pass away?
Leo: Hmm, I don’t know. My and Naru’s time in Knights are almost completely separate from each other.
We’re not very close, so I don’t know the details.
Naru doesn’t share anything personal, also. Sena’s been in the same modeling world and they seem to be old friends, so maybe he might know something.
If you’re curious, go ask him later.
However. Getting deeply involved with someone else means you step foot into their battlefield.
It’s impossible to stay in a safe zone and pick and choose the important stuff, so be careful.
Tsukasa: Haa… No, I don’t necessarily have that much interest in it either.
But somehow, something bothers me.
Narukami-senpai is always smiling, thoughtful, and kind… I've never seen such an empty expression.
Normally, Narukami-senpai is so reliable and elegant… Was it all just a mask to hide a true identity, worn out of care for us?
If that is so, I cannot find the right words to say it, but… it seems very lonely to me.
