[TRANSLATION] AKANE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SHORT STORY(SS)🎉🎂

【7:30 AM】

I opened my eyes.

"Ugh, what's this? On a day like today, I could have slept a bit longer..."

As I mumbled my complaints, drowsiness quickly caught up, and I let out a big yawn. Today is December 6th, my birthday that comes once a year. Mashiro, anticipating this, showed up the day before with some alcohol, and we spent the night drinking while crossing over the date, engaging in pointless conversations. Though I intentionally avoided looking at the clock, it must have been close to dawn when I finally went to sleep. Despite being completely sleep-deprived, my eyes felt strangely alert, and I couldn't bring myself to go back to sleep.

(I guess oversleeping isn't a habit of mine.)

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I changed into sportswear and headed to the gym within the apartment building.

【8:55 AM】

After breaking a sweat at the gym, taking a shower, and returning—it's almost nine o'clock. As I entered the living room, Kurono's voice greeted me.

"Good morning."

"Morning... huh?"

On the table, there was a neatly sliced shortcake and a cup of black coffee.

"Since it's Akane-san’s birthday today."

"Oh, right."

Suppressing a strange ticklish feeling, I took a seat at the table. After midnight, Mashiro enthusiastically cut the cake and we had it with champagne. This was the remaining portion.

"When did we start having cake for breakfast?"

"I believe... it was the year after I moved in."

"Ugh, I don't want to count."

Because it's my birthday, cake for breakfast is a tradition—originating from a childish whim I expressed long ago. It was decided that the morning after cutting the birthday cake, the leftovers become breakfast. It's easy to say I'm not a child anymore, but stopping something I've done every year since childhood feels somewhat nostalgic.

(Well, it's only once a year.)

With a big bite, I see Kurono squinting happily. This happens every year.

"I said it last night, but again. Happy birthday."

"Thanks... by the way, where's Mashiro?"

"The bastard is passed out in the guest room."

Kurono's expression slightly turns stern.

"How late were you two up?"

"Oh... I don't remember."

"I should've kicked him out before the date changed."

"Well, let's enjoy cake without saying that."

【11:30 AM】

After soothing Kurono and finishing breakfast, I tackled the accumulated trivial tasks—checking audio files and documents, making calls, organizing mail, and other miscellaneous chores. Just as I was contemplating taking a break and stretching, my phone conveniently rang. The name on the screen was Haiji.

"What's up, Haiji?"

"Akane-san, happy birthday!"

"Oh, thanks."

"Did you drink with Mashiro-san yesterday?"

He’s quick to catch on—I thought. But yeah, that's probably it. Knowing Mashiro, he most likely posted about it on social media.

"We had a few drinks with the stuff he brought."

"Oh, unfair. I told him I couldn't make it."

"Are you coming today?"

"Yes. I'll come by in the evening."

"Once the meeting's done, I'll let you know. I'll pick you up, so be ready."

"Thank you!"

【4:00 PM】

In the afternoon, I headed to DigPro. Accompanied by Iwahara manager, we greeted the promoter and discussed concepts for next year's live performance. The enthusiasm on the other side was unexpectedly high, leading to an unplanned lengthy conversation.

"Oh, by the way. I saw BLAST."

"The energy is incredible, right? Not just RUBIA Leopard, but Impish Crow too. DigPro's newcomers are doing great."

"DigPro, led by RUBIA Leopard, has everyone with fantastic momentum."

"This was my first time on the scene, and I was surprised by the number of men more than I thought."

"There was that CM for the instrumental-only album a while back. It sparked quite a discussion even among hardcore rock fans."

"Oh yeah! That was amazing too!"

"I think there'll be more instrumentals on the next album. Looking forward to it."

I nodded in gratitude, suppressing the urge to say, "Did you finally realize we're not just a face for tie-ins?" I couldn't say it, not even if my life depended on it.

(What's his deal, holding a grudge against me?)

I stifled a laugh that was about to burst.

"So, here's the thing. We're thinking of expanding the venue a bit more next time. We're confident about the audience turnout."

"Please, consider it positively."

I glanced at the manager with a smile before interjecting, "Regarding the size of the venue in relation to the fanbase, it's my request."

I wanted to avoid blindly enlarging the scale, risking the diminished sense of delivering songs to each individual. Letting the surrounding enthusiasm accelerate on its own, rolling into areas I couldn't perceive, and collapsing at the last minute—I didn't want that again.

(I won't make the same mistake as with RUBIA.)

Consciously and unconsciously, I had been thinking about that for the past three years.

"But, I think it's about time to take a step forward."

"Thank you for considering it," I said, bowing my head. Iwahara next to me let out a small sigh of relief. He, who had been aware of everything, might have been the most anxious over the past three years. Otherwise, I couldn't find a reason for him to present the song of Impish Crow at that particular moment.

"So, as a trade-off, I have a suggestion. We've been relatively low-key so far, separate from the tour, throwing a bit of a curveball might be interesting."

"Oh, that sounds good!"

"Please allow me to assist with that as well."

【6:50 PM】

Once the meeting concluded, Iwahara promptly gestured for me to follow him to the manager's office.

"What's up, Iwahara-san? Nagging me?"

"Do you have any idea why?"

"Too many, I can't keep track."

"Ugh... let's just get this over with."

"... Alcohol?"

"Happy birthday."

"Seriously?"

"Just say 'thank you.'"

"Thanks. But, a birthday present from you that doesn't fit your character?"

"You're sharp. This is a joint gift with my housemate."

"What a hassle. A pack of cigarettes would've sufficed."

"If I gave you a present that would harm your throat and health, Haiji would scold me."

"Is it okay for me to be drinking all night?"

"Haiji is going to your place today, right?"

"A set of chaperones and a present. I see.”

【7:05 PM】

After convincing Iwahara to take a break for a smoke, I contacted Haiji and got into the car. Haiji and Iwahara's apartment was just a stone's throw away from the office. We'd be there in about five minutes.

(Everywhere is already in full Christmas mode.)

Navigating through the main street, I parked the car in a random alley and took a moment to catch my breath. I wasn't particularly fond of December. The city was lively and festive, and it felt like I was the only one standing still.

(So, that's why the shortcake.)

When I was a child, I lacked the ability to bridge the gap between the bustling city and the quiet home. When I realized that our home and others were somehow different, the most I could do was express small whims. Kurono was the only one who indulged those whims.

(But, it was okay back then.)

As I grew taller, my desires grew too, and I had more capabilities. Music filled the gaps and spaces.

(Still, enjoying it just within the confines of home wasn't enough for me.)

As my thoughts wandered off, the phone suddenly rang.

"Akaneeeee! Happy birthday, my little brother!!!"

The volume on the speaker seemed ten times louder than usual, and my brother, Mikado, continued.

"You must be happy, right? Of course! And why am I calling at this hour? Because, my dear brother, I'm in New York right now!"

"Oh, really?"

"Mikado, you have to go running soon or you’ll be late for the morning meeting."

"Oh, right, Kaede. Well then, I'm going for a run in Central Park! Kaede, I'm counting on you! That's all!"

As I was about to hang up, Kaede's voice came through the speaker.

"Wait, Akane."

"What?"

"Did you have cake this morning?"

"...Yeah, I did."

"I see. My breakfast was shortcake too. Well then, take care of Sora for me."

He said what he wanted to say and hung up. Immediately after, a message arrived—it was from our parents.

"A-chan, happy birthday. We'll send you something surprising again this year. From Mom and Dad."

"No, don't send anything."

I couldn't help but speak aloud.

(Man, my family, seriously, none of them have any sense of delicacy.)

Yet, their eagerness to make me happy came across 120%. It was quite annoying. But if I twisted about it, I'd just be a fool. I convinced myself of that, and it saw me through the sensitive teenage years. Or so it feels.

(Really.)

Throughout my life, there have been various thoughts. I've been hurt in trivial matters, but they never turned into significant pain or obstacles to moving forward because I've been incredibly fortunate. Now and then.

【7:10 PM】

"Akane-san."

The sound of tapping on the side window accompanied the call of my name. I hurriedly opened the door.

"Haiji, sorry. I was lost in thought and didn't notice."

"No, not at all. I just arrived!"

【7:30 PM】

I set off in the car with Haiji. By now, Kurono would probably be preparing some extravagant meal. While hurrying home, I received a call from Mashiro.

"Good morning, both of you."

"Huh, Mashiro-san, were you sleeping until now?"

"More importantly, where are you now?"

"I'll be home in about five minutes."

"Then, is it not snowing there?"

"Snow?"

"Oh, right!"

Haiji joyfully pointed to the sky. Snow in Tokyo at this time of year would likely stop in no time.

"I haven't seen snow in a while."

"This is such a rare sight for Tokyo in this season; it'll probably stop soon."

On my birthday this year, the events that unfolded, and the snowfall at this moment. I'm sure I'll never forget this different day.

DIG-ROCK -signal- Vol 2 Release Commemorative Short Story (side. HIBARI) TRANSLATION

Hibari entered alone, passing through the automatic door of his condominium. Hearing the voice of a woman saying "Welcome back" from the concierge counter, he momentarily felt a flutter in his chest.

(Excessive self-consciousness)

Suddenly feeling embarrassed, he hastily nodded and hurriedly entered the elevator hall.

At the hamburger shop where they received the news, when the four of them stood there in a daze, a call came from Tobikura.

("I'm really glad…!")

As they heard the voice repeating "glad" multiple times, its tone tinged with moisture, their nose tingled slightly.

(Yeah, that's right, it's good. Really good.)

Just like me. The first thing I felt was relief. (This time has been quite challenging…)

Overcoming a series of tense moments, completing the PV safely, with a good reputation, and having the single release decided. Tobikura, of course, and I think Samejima and Shigino were happy too. However,

(I guess I was still flustered…)

I hadn't thought about what comes next at all.

Whether it will sell or not. Rankings and such. Normally, I would forget about all these things that I usually care about so much, while keeping a calm exterior.

"Maybe you're concerned? You still can't say that the band is your main job."

Shigino asked me the other day, and I brushed it off.

Because I can't proudly declare it as my main job until I can earn enough. I don't want to be laughed at for being forever like this, for being pathetic, for feeling embarrassed, or for having dreams that seem worthless. But by who?

No one is laughing. None of the people around me.

The one who laughs at me the most isn't society, my father, or some unknown bystander; it's always myself. (Like a fool)

I want to create music with everyone in Impish Crow, I want to be in the band. With that single-mindedness, I threw everything else away. My parents, school. And the boring future that had been promised to me.

Yet, the part of me that's conscious of appearances still can't be abandoned.

Every time I notice my uncool self, I become disheartened. But,

("It's good.")

Right now, that's truly all there is.

We all put in our efforts.

We did everything we could.

People I respect wholeheartedly cooperated.

With Toki by my side. Tsugumi being safe. Reconciliation with Mitsuru.

Impish Crow remaining Impish Crow.

(Ah, seriously. I'm so straightforward, like an idiot)

Other matters are unimportant.

(It's really good.)

Even if it's self-satisfaction or self-indulgence, it's okay.

Right now, that's enough.

Don't rush. It's alright, believe me, I have a gut feeling,

Suddenly, I remembered what Akane told me earlier.

(Maybe he believed in me too).

Even more than I did back then.

(Truly kind-hearted, so much)

Scrolling through my smartphone's address book, I was about to tap his name… but I stopped.

(You were right, saying things like that. I don't want to say it even if I die.) So, I selected a completely different name.

As the elevator doors opened, I quickly slipped into the entrance and took a deep breath.

(…Alright)

From now on, surely, while experiencing joy, relief, and moments of disappointment. With both my uncool self and my proud self,

I'll continue walking together with all of them.

So, before that,

"Hello, Mom. It's me."

"Maps are central in everything we do."

Dagen efter pokerturneringen var vi inbjudna till Digpro. Digpro specialiserar sig på egenutvecklade geografiska informationssystem (GIS). Ett flertal från Datasektionen, både i och utanför StuDs, har eller har haft deltidsjobb eller exjobb där.

Först presenterade deras VD Jonas bland annat företaget och några exempel på kunder. Sedan gick deras lead developer Robert, mer in på själva produkterna och några exempel på intressanta problem som behöver lösas i ett stort GIS-system. Visst är det stort, med c:a 30 000 filer och över 1 500 000 rader kod så täcker applikationen in halva svenska marknaden inom energi med flera stora kunder som Eon och Stockholms stad.

Robert, med i StuDs '99, håller i den tekniska delen av presentationen.

Det är dessa intressanta problem som gjort att Robert stannat kvar; algoritmer och datastrukturer, grafer och topologi, kommunikation med kundsystem och även datorgrafik i både 2D och 3D och användarinteraktion. "Det finns mycket olika saker att göra men det hänger ihop i en stor applikation."

Han tog även upp att de lägger fokus på kodkvalitet, och berättade om deras interna system, code reviews, continuous integration och hur trafikljus i taket börjar blinka om något checkas in som triggar fel i byggmiljön på servern. De har även en lista på kod som kopierats och klistrat in på andra ställen, till för att minimera kodduplicering som inte bara är svår att underhålla utan även multiplicerar antalet eventuella buggar.

Markus och Johan med Digpros plattformsansvarig Fredrik.

Efter presentationerna var det mer öppet. Det bjöds det på mat och öl, och fanns det gått om tid för oss att prata med alla som var där. Riktigt trevligt. Sedan blev vi visade runt kontoret och såg var nuvarande exjobbare och deltidsjobbare som vi känner sitter. Vi fick även tag i ett par av deras sparkcyklar som stod där, och gled runt kontoret.

Lovisa på en av Digpros flera sparkcyklar.

Tack för en mycket trevlig kväll Digpro, hoppas vi ses igen snart! :)

[DIG-ROCK FANCLUB OFFICIAL] , RUBIA Leopard SS (Short Story) #1 TRANSLATION

A loud clattering sound of dishes colliding nearby brought Akane back to reality. As he rubbed his eyes, the messy state of the living room slowly came into focus—empty sukiyaki pot, dirty plates, scattered snack wrappers, and empty beer cans. And then...

 "....Haiji."

Calling out, Akane turned to see Haiji holding a stack of dishes, looking back at him.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?"

"Yeah. What time is it now?"

"It's four in the morning."

"Seriously?"

 Checking the clock, he confirmed what Haiji said. It was indeed early morning, and a faint light was starting to appear outside the window.

 "Wow, damn..."

 "Is there some urgent work?"

"Not really. I'll probably get scolded by Iwahara-san for going wild like this."

"There was a missed call earlier. Someone probably wants you to wrap up and go home already."

"Yeah, I figured. But that call came in at two in the morning. I can't say anything to others either."

"You're still a workaholic."

"So, when I get back, I'll apologize directly. 'Sorry for enjoying myself so much and being late', or something like that."

 Haiji's face brightened as he murmured, "This might be the first time."

 (Nice expression.) Akane's lips naturally softened at the sight of Haiji's genuinely cheerful demeanor. (At first, I was just scaring him away.) He couldn't think of a way to ease the tension back then, and he even felt that things were fine as they were. Trying to be greedy ended up in failure, so he discarded everything that could be discarded and gathered only the things he truly desired. If sacrificing music was necessary to achieve that, then so be it. He didn't need anything else. (I'm an idiot.) Recalling that determination at the time, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of tragic emotion, causing him to smile. (Can't say anything about others. Even I have changed.) (Actually, getting drunk and falling asleep in front of people is probably a first.) It might be the first time he did something like this.

 "But still, Haiji, you're pretty good with alcohol."

"Just a little red in the face, but otherwise, Akane-san seem pretty much the same."

"But I couldn't drink this much alone. Thanks for keeping up with me."

"You're welcome."

"Come again, alright?"

"Sure. If it's such a fun request, anytime."

"...By the way, where's Kurono?"

"He's passed out in his room... Speaking of which, Mashiro-san took Kurono-san with him when they left, but they haven't come back."

 "Maybe they're both passed out in the room?"

"It's possible. Even though he was stumbling, he refused to let me take him home."

"That guy can be surprisingly caring."

 Kurono and Mashiro were still as direct as ever in their quarrels. But did the two of them realize that there was no one else with whom they could be so straightforward? (Speaking of which, that Mashiro guy is fine with this. Leaving his bass lying around here like this.) Akane lightly touched the bass case. (Kurono too. Collapsing in the living room like this.) He could easily imagine the excuses they would make once they woke up.

 "Haiji, you don't have to clean up the dishes."

"I'll take Akane-san word for it and just stack them here. The kitchen is Kurono-san's territory, so he might mind if someone else touches it."

"It's not like he'll say anything."

"Kurono-san is kind, you see…"

"Not that. Haiji, you're not just some stranger."

 Haiji blinked, looking surprised.

 "Um, Akane-san. Are you still drunk?"

"Not at all."

"Then, are you teasing me?"

"I thought Haiji might get embarrassed, but I'm serious."

 As Akane raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, Haiji, who was unfazed by the alcohol, blushed slightly and said, "Please save that for when you're more drunk," while pouting his lips.

[TRANSLATION] DIG-ROCK HOUND ROAR vol. 1 - Track 03

Track 3: Things I don’t want to admit

(Bell ringing sound)

Toya: Haru-chan? Kasuga: I've come to pick you up~ Toya: How did you get all the way in here? Kasuga: The entrance and elevator lock were opened by someone passing by. It's a nice mansion~ Excellent security. (Door opens) Kasuga: Good morning, Toya. Toya: Your voice is loud… Kasuga: As you said, I don't want to cause trouble for the neighbors. Pardon My intrusion~ Toya: I told you before that I don't like other people coming into my room. Kasuga: you're not answering your phone--I was worried. Toya: Sit there. I'll quickly change and come out. Kasuga: Sure~ Kasuga: How are things these days? Toya: Just so so. Kasuga: Can you just say you’re in top condition? You being strict with yourself.. Toya: Haru-chan, you praise too much. Kasuga: Humans can receive more praise. That's my motto. Toya: You seem to have come up with that just now. Kasuga: Not at all~ There's a saying that praise can make someone grow, but hitting and destroying doesn't benefit anyone. Toya: Did you say something? Kasuga: …I said I'm glad to see you healthy! Leaving that aside, you change quickly! Toya: Have I ever been late for practice? Kasuga: Nope~ You're truly an honor student. Toya: It’s normal thing. Kasuga: Othes rarely practice, the record is fragmented and the technician patchworks it together delicately. Live is a binge of sound recording, TV is lip-synced and edited. That's not unusual, is it? Toya: I don't care how others are doing. And practicing is not particularly praiseworthy, nor does high skill guarantee success. Kasuga: Your words are reasonable. Oh, that's right. The tie-up for the new song has been decided. Toya: Tie-up…? Kasuga: It's the image song for a game app. We'll release a lot through CMs and promotions. If it goes well, it might be used longer than a drama theme. It should be easy for people to remember. And there's talk of releasing an album with this new song and the single ROAR, syndrome, and Reincarnation… Toya: Toya: Hold on. Talk about the album is fine, but keep the tie-up talk blank. Kasuga: Why? Toya: I haven't heard a single word about it beforehand. I can't consider the content of the job since I don't know what game it is for. Kasuga: Why? Toya: I haven't heard a single word about such matters beforehand. I can't consider the content of the work if I don't know what game it's for. Kasuga: Ah, sorry, sorry. Actually, this was discussed between companies. The deciShion was made recently. I played the existing demo of the song, received a response without problems, so it's okay. Toya: Haru-chan, you said HOUND ROAR is going to compete with skill, right? Kasuga: I said so, and I still sincerely believe that. Toya: I'm not saying tie-ups are bad. However, if we're going to do it, I want to compete with skills. Otherwise…

Kasuga: Toya. Skill, as you mentioned earlier, is not everything. It's the overall average of everything. You, with the backup of Renown Stage, just use it to the fullest to score. Toya: I know that! But… Kasuga: It's okay! Don't be so scared. HOUND ROAR is a good band. I guarantee it. Toya: Haru-chan… Kasuga: Besides, you don't want to lose to the bands of DigPro, right? RUBIA Leopard and Impish Crow.. Toya: …. Kasuga: I got it, leave it to Haru-chan. Don't worry about trivial things; just keep creating the music you love. Toya: … Kasuga: Well then, Let’sgo!

Kasuga: Good morning~ Hey, Toya, try to lighten up a bit.~ Toya: Stop that sugarcoating words. Sogo: Toya! Haru-chan! Kasuga: Good morning, Sogo. Sogo: Both of you… haven't you heard anything from Shion? Kasuga: Shion? Nothing at all. Toya? Toya: I don't know. What's going on? Sogo: I promised to move the keyboard today… went to pick him up, I kept ringing the intercom, and he didn't answer. He didn't come to the studio either. Toya: I don't want to imagine it, but… he didn't collapse at home, did he? Sogo: I'm starting to worry now. Should have asked him to open the door when I went to the mansion… Kasuga: No, no, they wouldn't have opened it so easily. Unless it's family or the police. Sogo: Ah…That’s right…

Shoma: Good morning,, Sogo: Shoma! Have you heard anything from Shion? Shoma: Megane? No, not at all. Kasuga: Any idea where he might be? Shoma: It's impossible… What happened to him? Sogo: He's not answering calls… Toya: How about sending Haru-chan to check his condition at the manShion? Kasuga: Let's do that. If it doesn't work out, we may have to contact his parents to open the door. Shoma: If it doesn't work out… Kasuga: If anything happens, we'll contact you. You guys can continue practicing. Shoma: But… that guy might have collapsed somewhere! It's not the time for a practice! Toya: There's nothing we can do. It's better than wasting time. Shoma: Don't say we're wasting time like that! Toya: Then how should I say it? Shoma: You! Your words are so heartless! Toya: So annoying… Shoma: What?! Sogo: Both of you, that's enough. Shoma: …Sorry. Sogo: Let's calm down for a moment. I don't feel like practicing right now either. Toya: Haa… Shion, that guy…

(footstep sounds)

Sogo: Oh? Haru-chan! Shoma: You're back so soon? Kasuga: …The police just contacted me. Toya: The police…? Kasuga: Shion has been arrested. Shoma: …Huh?!

Shion: … Sogo-san…? Sogo: Are you okay, Shion? How's your condition? Shion: I'm okay… Sogo: Thank goodness… Ah!! you surprised me! Shion: I'm sorry… But why is Sogo-san here? Sogo: I came with Haru-chan. Now, let's go. Shion: Huh? But… Sogo: The police were convinced by Haru-chan. There's nothing to worry about now. Come on, get up. Kasuga: Thank you so much~ I'm sorry for causing trouble. Police: Really, be more careful next time. Kasuga: That's true! I'll make sure to tell him that. Ah, here he is, Shion. Shion: Uh… Kasuga: Save the scold for later! Now, apologize to the police. Shion: I'm sorry… Police: Don't make any confusing actions in the future. And explain the situation more clearly. Since you're an adult. Shion: …Yes. Kasuga: Haa~ It's been a while since I visited a police station. Sogo: A while? Kasuga: …When you work in the entertainment industry for a long time, you experience various things~ Want to hear the details? Sogo: Haha… I'd rather not. Kasuga: So, Shion? Shion: Um… I'm sorry for causing trouble. Kasuga: You did well! Shion: Huh? Kasuga: Calling me first was the correct thing to do. Thinking that Shion relied on me in a crisis, it warms my heart. Shion: No, it's not really like that… Kasuga: Let's just go with that. It's resolved before it could become a bigger issue, and there won't be any hindrance to HOUND ROAR’s activities. No need to worry. Shion: Oh… Kasuga: Sogo, listen to the details. I need to go back to the office. If something troublesome happens, contact me. Sogo: Understood. Kasuga: I’m counting on you~ Sogo: Shall we go too? Shion: Sogo-san… I (coughing) Sogo: Are you alright?! I parked my car nearby, can you walk? Shion: Yes.. Umm.. I have a favor to ask. Sogo: What is it? Shion: I… I don't want to go home right now. Um… Sogo: Will you to come to my place? Shion: Asking for this… I know it's a lot, but… Sogo: I was planning to do that from the beginning. Shion: Huh? Sogo: You're not in good health, and it's harder to be alone, right? Plus… we want to hear the details.

Toya: It's opposite Sogo: opposite? Toya: I could still perform. I want be on stage more. Sogo: Hee—It's rare that you're not tense after a stage. Toya: Tense... Sogo: Usually you're mumbling, 'I should have done that better', 'I should have done this'. Toya: I see..... Sogo: You're not going to say something like that today? Toya: It's not that. But reflection and regret can come later. That's what I feel now. Haiji: Umm....sorry to interrupt.. Toya: You are... Sogo: Aren't you Haiji-kun? Haiji: It's been a while Sogo-san. Sogo: Sorry, I'll hurry up and clear out. Just give me a minute. Haiji: Eh? Is just the two of you here? Toya: One member was sick and went to the first aid room. Kurono: That's seem tough. Let me help. Toya: Thankyou, but it's fine don't mind us. Kurono: As we all share the same stage, don't hold back. Mashiro: I mean, if Hauro doesn't clear out, we can't get in. Haiji: Mashiro-san! Sogo: Thanks, then, I will accept your kind offer. Mashiro: Forget about that. Just get your hands to work over there. Sogo: Ouch, Okay. Haiji: Cable over here, done! Kurono: It looks fine.  I think I can move the keyboard with this. Sogo: Oh, thank you. I'll take care of the rest. Hey, Toya. Haiji: Eh— I'll help. Toya: it's fine, your kindness is enough. Haiji: But— Toya: Now you need to concentrate on your turn. We need Rubire to be in the throne for a while longer. Mashiro: Hee— Toya: Otherwise, the impact when Hauro overtakes Rubire will be small. Mashiro: You heard that? Kurono: Well, if that's the case, then I'll stop helping you here. Haiji: I understand. . Sogo: ... I'm surprised. You're going to overtake Rubire? Seriously? Toya: You have problems with that? Sogo: No, but I don't think you'd come with something big. Toya: That's right. But, with the current Hauro I'm sure we can do it. I look forward to your performance. See you then.

Mashiro: .... what's with that confident face.. Kurono: Just get on with setting yourself up. You're late coming in the first place. Where were you and what were you doing! Mashiro: Ah .. Do you even bother to ask that?. Kurono: Ah. You went smoking again. Mashiro: I was smoking and watching for them to clear out. But they wouldn't move. Haiji: Mashiro-san, you're don't really like  Hauro member, right? Mashiro: Not really. But it's definitely the faces I don't want to see. Haiji: But I was really fired up by that exchange! Kurono: Me too. I won't give up my throne so easily. Mashiro: Well, we should make them regret they had to play against us.
