[Fantome Iris live]

???: Tonight, I shall grant upon you all, the pleasure of submission…

???: Now come, praise my being. Submit and offer the very proof of your existence; the red blood that flows within you, to me !

HARU: Don’t think you’re all getting home safe and sound tonight !

ZACK: We’ll drive you to the brink of ******** ! Gyah-ha–!

D: The evening banquet is upon us

LIGHT: Let us begin, my Lord

???: Feel the reverence and awe you hold within! My followers, shout our name! 

???: We are…. 「Fantome Iris」!

—-------

–[After the live]--

Fan A: Hah~~ The live was so good ~!

Fan B: Don’t you feel like FELIX-sama’s air has kinda changed recently ?

Fan A: Yeah, but thats what makes it so good !

Fan B: Really? Well.. I kinda liked the previous gentleman schtick FELIX-sama a bit more…

Mashu: ….

[Dreadnought Records office]

–[A few days after the live]--

Tomoru: Thank you for finding time to meet me despite being so busy

Mashu: No problem. Since I also had something to discuss with you as well

Mashu: I want you to explain the new song situation for the 「Sales Ranking Game」

Tomoru: …It’s currently in the works

Mashu: Is that so

Mashu: Normally, the song’s concept is decided by your vocalist Felix no

Mashu: I watched your live the other day… it seems like his whole atmosphere took quite a turn

Mashu: Suffice to ask but, is everything doing fine?

Tomoru: ……actually–

– —

Tomoru: –is how it stands. Since his return from France, he’s been a bit uneasy…

Tomoru: Of course, the song creation is continuing on, but there’s a rift in the band in regards to the direction of it as of now

Mashu: I see

Tomoru: So erm, I was wondering what to do… um, I’ll follow any kind of instructions given out

Mashu: Up to you.

Tomoru: Pardon?

Mashu: I’m saying that I’ll leave this up to you

Mashu: For comparison, unlike the GYROAXIA that revolves around Asahi Nayuta, Fantome Iris follows a different path

Mashu: Is what I believe

Mashu: …Time is almost up. I’ll request a progress update on a later date 

–--------------

[Street]

Tomoru: (hm… up to us huh…)

Tomoru: (Maybe the reason Mashu-san said that was because he didn’t think it was best to move forward on another’s orders…)

Tomoru: (... to make me think for myself)

Tomoru: (But I’m sure Mashu-san would have been able to make a better decision than me..)

Tomoru: Gosh I’m in trouble… what to do…

[Sharehouse]

Tomoru: Hah….

Jun: Ah, welcome back Tomoru

Tomoru: I’m back. Were you perhaps discussing something?

Daimon: No, we just happened to get together like this. I’ll go prepare the food

Tomoru: Thank you

Tomoru: …and Feli-san?

Koharu: He’s in his room

Tomoru: Is he still, just like that..

Koharu: Yeah. 「Wait with patience until I grant you an order」 and stuff

Jun: hUeUe… I have a feeling that whatever song Felix-san puts together is gonna be some jumbled crazed arrangement…!

Koharu: Me too… But, I guess we don’t have another choice other than letting him be

Koharu: For now, it seems like most of the followers have been accepting of this change but still…

Jun: It’s a long way ahead… wait no, this is more like misfortunes that never come alone ? or maybe adding salt to an open wound?

Koharu: We’re having a tough time as is, but from the looks of it, the other bands are in their own pile of problems.. Gotta hope this isn’t gonna be a repeat of LRFes

Tomoru: Did something happen with the other bands as well?

Koharu: You didn’t hear? Apparently Argona’s leader’s household mess got out and fans are runnin’ amuck

Tomoru: Wha–!

–

Tomoru: You’re right… I didn’t even notice this

Tomoru: (Goryo-kun’s having a really hard time huh… oh, was the thing he mentioned last time, regarding this?)

Tomoru: (...wait, this really isn’t the time to be worrying about others either though…)

Tomoru: (Since I gave Goryo-kun advice, it’d be lame if I wasn’t more stable on my end either..)

Tomoru: ( About Feli-san, about what to do from now on, we all need to think about this or else...)

Side: EpsilonΦ

Tadaomi: It looks like everyone’s already gone home. Makes sense since our practice today ended a tad late

Tadaomi: Before I go, I should note down the recent happenings 

Tadaomi: As expected, Reiji-kun reacted the most when his previous family is mentioned

Tadaomi: Its the first time I had ever seen him lose his cool this much 

Tadaomi: He even raised his voice a bit last practice. It seemed that Kanata-kun and Haruka-kun were troubled by his attitude

Tadaomi: If I mention troubled, then Shu-kun comes to mind as well. As if he was confused, or as if he was hurt… the chances of me seeing those expressions are rare

Tadaomi: When he was let go by his father; the president of Duck Rivers, he had a similar expression, but this one was completely different from that

Tadaomi: He wore an expression similar in likeness to a child you’d see on the street make… how exactly do I explain this one

Tadaomi: I had thought I had already see munch of what everyone in EpsilonΦ is capable of producing in emotions and expressions yet…

Tadaomi: As expected, the human heart is an endless pit. I feel like I’ve come to love everyone so much more… fufu

Reiji: …sorry. I need to take a break..

--[Walks off]--

Shu: What's up with Reiji. He’s just stuck like that.

Kanata: It’s so rare to see Karasuma-senpai so out of shape like that right~ and for so long too, thats a first~? Am I right, aniki?

Haruka: How would I know

Shu: Haruka, how about you? Surely you’re making progress with Tadaomi on the new song too?

Haruka: ….there’s progress…to an extent

Kanata: On that topic, what kinda song is it? I haven’t heard even a snippet of it so~

Tadaomi: You’ll have to look forward to the demo then.. Right, Shu-kun?

Shu: True. At times maybe it's fun to do it other ways

Shu: But, I’d like it if you didn’t keep us with bated breath either okay~

Haruka: ….can’t you wait a little longer

Shu: I implore you

Kanata: Aniki, you’ve been holed up too much y’know. How ‘bout going out with me a little more often why not~

Kanata: Got it ! Lets stop by at Tennichi later on~ *

Haruka: No way in hell I’m going

Tadaomi: ……..

Shu: Tadaomi, what’s with you

Tadaomi: hm? It’s nothing. I just thought that Reiji-kun is taking a while, thats it

–------

[Sharehouse]

Reiji: Shit…!

Kanata: Woah~ Karasuma-senpai’s super pissed~~ Something happened?

Shu: ….oh come on, cut it out will you?

Haruka: oi, what are you…

Shu: Reiji, how much longer are you going to be short-fused. It’s getting annoying how much we’re needing to wait for you to cool down

Reiji: …my apologies 

Shu: …hey, what's with that look. 「Shu’s being noisy and annoying so I’ll just apologize for now」 is written ALL OVER your damn face

Shu: Is the wittle Reiji looking for someone to come cheer him up~? ( ´ ▽ ` )⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎♡

Reiji: …..gh!

--[Reiji grabs Shu ? ]--

Kanata: Whoa– Karasuma-senpai, no violence here!

Reiji: Is it a fun game to you to get on people nerves and rile them up? …no, I’m sure as hell it is !

Shu: You’re the one who said I can use you as I see fit right? You really think you can do your job if everything’s out in the open like that !?

Shu: Reiji, you’ve been acting unbefitting of you for a while now

Reiji: You’re one to talk, considering you don’t know shit about me!

Shu: Hah? What’re you saying? I’ve known you since–

Reiji: …..I need to .. cool down. Let me be alone for a bit…

--[Walks off]--

Shu: What’s his PROBLEM …!

--[Walks off]--

Kanata: oooof~ scary~~

Kanata: But doesn’t this feel right up our alley, aniki~?

Haruka: Hell if I know

Yamato: …I, really want to do something

Yamato: Its normal to want to help out a friend who’s suffering right

–[End] –

Haruka: (Thats the difference between him and me. That I don’t give a damn about others)

Haruka: (However, if they become a hindrance to my goals…)

Haruka: Oi

Tadaomi: hm? Something wrong?

Haruka: Do you have time, tomorrow. I wanna readjust the demo

Tadaomi: Got it, sure

Tadaomi: Then, I’ll be going back to my room. Good night to you both

Kanata: Good night Kurama-senpai~~

--[Tadaomi walks off]--

Kanata: Then I’ll also…

Yamato: How’s Fuuta?

Aoi: Still no response. Is he okay…

Yamato: That's worrying…

Aoi: yeah… what if… Fuuta just stays like this and…

Yamato: There’s no way this is going to continue on forever. We just don’t know when he’ll feel better, that's all

Yamato: Oh and, where are Misaki and Kohei-san?

Aoi: They’re out. I want to prepare for the live as well but, at the same time, I want to make sure Fuuta’s doing okay and check on him

Aoi: Its really like what Ko-nii said, we just need to wait and see…

Yamato: ….

–------

[Street]

Yamato: (The 3 of them think that they should just wait until Fuuta recovers…)

Yamato: (But, is that really for the best?)

Yamato: (I’m sure for Fuuta that it was all too much, and the shock was huge)

Yamato: (Since it was in middle school, thats around… 6 years ago)

Yamato: If it's a zodiac calendar it’d be… the year of the cat? Wait no that can't be right

???: …what’re you murmuring about?

Yamato: hm?

Yamato: Oh, hey Nijo. What are you doing here?

Haruka: That’s my line. What are you doing on the side of the street muttering weird stuff and all

Yamato: Good timing. Can I ask you about something

Haruka: what?

Yamato: We’re going to that cafe over there

Haruka: wait, no, huh, hold up..!

–

[Cafe]

Haruka: Don’t pull me, let go..!

Yamato: Sit over there

Haruka: I’m telling you to listen to others for god's sake. Who said anything about me giving you advice

Yamato: It’s just between us

Haruka: The hell do you mean…!

Haruka: hah…damn, fine… you better treat me to something

Yamato: You’ll settle for that? That's a piece of sack

Haruka: Pretty sure you meant piece of 「cake」*

–

Yamato: …so thats it, and my band is pretty down in the dumps in atmosphere

Yamato: What do you think I should do?

Haruka: …nah it’s not about what you should do, you should just wait until he gets back on his feet

Haruka: There’s probably nothing you can do after all so..

Yamato: No, there is

Haruka: If you knew that there was, then just do it dude

Yamato: There’s something I can do, but I don’t know what I have to do

Yamato: Thats why I thought I should ask someone else

Haruka: Ha! And that someone else is me? Dude are you dumb?

Yamato: Are you not good at giving this kind of advice, my bad

Haruka: No thats definitely not the problem at hand here

Yamato: …I, really want to do something

Yamato: Its normal to want to help out a friend who’s suffering right

Haruka: ….

Haruka: (Its normal to want to help out a friend who’s suffering huh…)

Haruka: …then, instead of moping around, how bout you charge head first instead

Yamato: I see, so I should break the door down and ask

Haruka: I never said that..!

Haruka: I mean that instead of waiting around patiently, you should do what you just did to me, and go about it your way instead is what I’m saying

Yamato: Go about it… my way…

Yamato: What is the ‘my way’ that you’re thinking of?

Haruka: What ??

Haruka: How you can’t read the room, don’t listen to others, super my-pace and also, how your guitar sucks

Yamato: Really? I thought I was getting better at the guitar though

Haruka: Its more because you roped the other bands’ members in to teach you right

Haruka: gah, the conversation keeps deviating..!

Haruka: Anyways, rather than overthinking it, why dontcha just go all in, break it down and see what happens

Yamato: I thought I wasn’t supposed to break stuff?

Haruka: Well I can’t imagine you actually breaking anything. But rather, thats the only thing you can really do right now so yeah

Yamato: …I see, I’ll take it to heart. I’m glad I was able to talk to you

Yuuto: I have something to do with Furusawa-san so, I’ll be off

Ren: okay, get there safely

--[Yuuto walks off]--

Ren: I wonder if Yuuto is really..okay…

--[Door opens]--

Banri: Oh, did Yuuto-kun already take off?

Ren: He said he was meeting up with Furusawa-san

Banri: I see.. With the live promotion and the other projects, seems he’s been getting a lot busier.. I’m a little worried

Ren: yeah… did, you also see it?

Banri: The online stuff? Of course. Since it was our prefectural news it didn’t take flight, but it seems like a bunch of our fans have starting picking it up

Banri: While it stated that there was an investigation into if its true or not, of course the fans are also worried

Ren: because it seems that there have been some people trying to bring it up during our recent interviews…

Ren: and that Furusawa-san and the staff have been handling that…

Banri: You got that from Wataru-kun right? Same here

Banri: Seems like the decision was to just not respond to it, and pretend like none of that happened, to prevent any further spreading and stuff

Ren: ….i see

Ren: If it was the previous versions of us, we could've been able to just speak to our fans directly and quell their worries… 

Banri: Isn’t that one of the differences… between being indie and being pro…

Ren: yeah, same here but even so… is this really for the best…

Ren: There are also people who are saying 「They’d say something in the past! 」or 「They’d tell us!」so…

Ren: and theres…

Banri: …Ren-kun..?

Ren: Ah, no. It’s nothing. I think I’ll continue my uni report until tonight’s practice instead

Banri: Sure… I hope you’re also not overthinking it either kay

Ren: Thanks

[Ren walks off]

Banri: I wonder if Ren-kun is really…okay..

Banri: (I’d hope he won’t be bothered by all the stuff said online.. but still..)

--[Studio]--

Yuuto: ….’kay, let’s leave it at this for today

Yuuto: Can I have your attention, before we clean up, go back and all that

Ren: What’s wrong?

Yuuto: …y’know, with all the recent stuff from my side causing a ruckus and all, sorry. I know there’s also a lot of stuff written online too but it’s all hearsay and stuff and….

Wataru: You don’t need to apologize for that. We’re just wondering if… there was anything we could… do

Banri: Yeah yeah. We’re teammates right? In times like this, we’ll be a helping hand so reach out kay

Yuuto: Thanks for that. But I’m doing fine, plus I don’t want to cause anymore trouble so I’ll.. I’ll find a way to deal with it !

Rio: You’ll find a way… seriously, Goryo, you–

Yuuto: No, I just wanted to apologize face to face with everyone… thanks for hearing me out guys !

Ren: ah, y-yeah…

--[Street]--

Ren: hah….

Wataru: Ren, what’s wrong? Did the practice tire you out?

Ren: No that's not it

Wataru: It’s really helpful that the label’s doing all the work for live promotion isn’t it

Ren: yeah…

Wataru: Is the stuff online, still bothering you?

Wataru: Because of Yuu’s stuff, the fans are jumping to their own conclusions, and I’ve seen a few spats here and there too

Ren: yeah, I’m worried… about Yuuto, and also about our fans…

–--------------------

--[Park]--

Yuuto: ….hah–

???: Hah…

Yuuto: Hm? Huh? Wait… Kurokawa-san…?

Tomoru: Goryo-kun. Hold on, were you guys from around this area or ?

Yuuto: Ah no, I just took a detour when walking home. Rather, were you guys from around this area, Kurokawa-san?

Tomoru: Nope, I just decided to stop by here on the way back from work. What a coincidence

Tomoru: That was a pretty heavy sigh you did, did something happen? If you’re okay with it, maybe I could be of help

Yuuto: Really? Well so.. actually…

---------------------------

Tomoru: I see… Well, even if you’re always together, there are also times you disagree. I get it

Yuuto: I… I wasn’t sure how much I could even tell them

Yuuto: I was under the impression that I shouldn’t involve the other members in my personal problems… but now, I’ve started to think that maybe… I should discuss it with them

Tomoru: …yet, you can’t bring yourself to tell them?

Yuuto: Yes. Like I missed the timing and if I do now, they’ll be like 「Why now then?」

Yuuto: haha… I’m sounding really pathetic aren’t I…

Tomoru: Well, you’re thinking of telling them right?

Yuuto: …yes

Tomoru: Then, how about setting a 「If I do this, I’ll tell them」sort of counter for yourself

Tomoru: If there isn’t a right timing to do something, you should create that timing

Tomoru: ….I mean, it wasn’t very meaningful advise that I gave so uh

Yuuto: No, thank you so much. I’ll try that

Yuuto: I’m sorry for having you hear me out when you’re so busy... but, Kurosawa-san... your sigh was for…

Tomoru: Don’t mind it too much. I’m sure that other guys are still waiting for when you’ll tell them so

Yuuto: …thats.. true. Thank you so much

--[Yuuto walks off]--

Tomoru: Despite not being in a position to do so, I tried to play it cool…

Tomoru: Feli-san… what should I do…

--[Door opens]--

Reon: Kenta-san..! Is Nayuta okay!?

Miyuki: Did his asthma get worse, or?

Ryo: It didn’t look like that though…

Kenta: ………..gh

Miyuki: Oi Kenta. What's going on

Miyuki: We’re all worried sick y’know. Can’t you hurry up and explain–

Kenta: –they said it was ‘Sudden Deafness’.*

Reon: …….eh

Reon: hey wait a moment… sudden deafness…? The kind that if not treated immediately can lead to permanent hearing loss one..?

Miyuki: you’re… joking right…

Ryo: Kenken…

Ryo: For now, let's sit down. Kenken looks like he’s about to faint too

–

Kenta: …first, Nayuta will be admitted to the hospital for the next few days

Kenta: While he strongly said he’d be out by tomorrow, it was best to keep him hospitalized further in order to not worsen the symptoms

Ryo: Its reassuring that Nayuta seems piper enough, for now, that’s a relief on its own

Miyuki: But, the ‘deafness’ part that Reon was talking about earlier… it won’t get better?

Kenta: That was highly likely in the scenario where it’s treatment had been delayed. But, it seems like Nayuta had previously been to the hospital for it

Reon: What !? But he.. there weren’t any signs of it

Kenta: When he collapsed, I had found medication in his room that wasn’t prescribed for his asthma 

Kenta: …recently, have any of you noticed Nayuta acting strange maybe?

Ryo: Maybe from a little back, the amount of times Nayuta paused during practices did get less

Reon/Miyuki: Ah…!

Reon: Then, you’re saying that from even then, Nayuta’s ears weren’t working properly !?

Kenta: Sudden deafness only affects one ear, is the common consensus 

Kenta: The doctor said that a lot of people rather choose to ignore the blockage or tinnitus, which makes it worse in its stead

Kenta: But since Nayuta has good hearing, I’m sure he noticed it immediately and went to the hospital

Miyuki: So then, he’ll get better?

Kenta: …they’re unsure

Reon: unsure… so that means…

Kenta: At the moment, he’s receiving the highest level of treatment to alleviate symptoms. But the cause…  and even if he’ll be cured, the doctor said they can’t say for sure either…

Reon: But thats…!

Kenta: ….its…my fault

Ryo: Kenken, that's not right. It’s not your fault

Kenta: No it’s MY FAULT ! IF ONLY I PAID MORE ATTENTION TO NAYUTA’S CHANGES !!

Kenta: Just how many… how MANY TIMES am I going to repeat this cycle…!?

Miyuki: –CUT IT OUT ALREADY ! !

Kenta: ….gh !?

Reon: wha– Miyuki-san !?

Miyuki: Why can’t you stop trying to shoulder all this shit on yourself !

Miyuki: Yeah, GYROAXIA is a band made for Nayuta. No ones disagreeing with that now anyway

Miyuki: BUT, with where we’re at now, we’re bound to hit the plateau y’know ..!

Miyuki: If we let Nayuta do what he wants all the time, one of these days his throat is gonna give in and GYROAXIA is over just like that !

Miyuki: AND YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU’RE OKAY WITH THAT !?

Reon: ….miyuki-san….

Miyuki: Hah….

Kenta: ….miyuki…

Miyuki: …what now..

Kenta: Punch me

Miyuki: Wha !? …I mean, YEAH I feel like pummeling your face in right now but I’m really trying to hold it back y’know !?

Kenta: I know. You’re free to hit me like that.

Reon: wait um, Kenta-san, calm down…!

--[Ryo flicks Kenta’s forehead]--

Ryo: okie-dokie, that’s enough

Kenta: Ryo…?

Ryo: Miyuki-kun’s words really stung right, Kenken. You want him to punish you for that, right?

Ryo: So, that was a punishment-level forehead flick. It’s settled

Ryo: It’s true that GYROAXIA’s center is Nayuta but, GYROAXIA’s leader, is you, Kenken

Reon: That's right. If anything, I believe Nayuta’s the one in the wrong here !

Ryo: What we’re going to do now and later on, let's think about it together okay?

Miyuki: Yeah. You’ll be using us well right, Leader

Kenta: You guys… yeah.. thank you

[Right after Felix returned from France]

Felix: Recently, memories of my father have begun popping up again

Felix: This pendant that I received from my brother in France.. was something that was inherited from my father if I recall…

—Flashback — [France]

Gilbert: It’s relieving that uncle had recovered without much hassle. Apologies for sudden calling you over

Felix: No, rather thank you for telling me. After all, I owe a lot to him too

Felix: So, what was it you wanted to discuss?

Gilbert: When I was cleaning up our home, I actually found this..

Felix: This is… a pendant?

Gilbert: Does it ring a bell for you ?

Felix: …is this…father’s?

Gilbert: Yeah. Wrapped in a piece of paper writing 「 To the descendants of my lineage  」…

Gilbert: A fittingly grandiose calling from him

Gilbert: If you’re up to it, would you like to keep hold of this

Gilbert: I’m not forcing you to accept it. Especially since to you, these memories are all bitter and cold

Felix: …no, it’s fine, I’ll keep it

Gilbert:  It’s your boarding time soon right

Felix: Yes, I’m sorry for not being able to stay for too long

Gilbert: No. You can’t afford to have a gap in lives after all. Make sure to make all your fans who enjoy your music happy.

Gilbert: Since I’m one of those fans as well

Gilbert: Felix, don’t push yourself okay. Take care of your body, and treasure your friends

Felix: I know that already, Gil. Then, see you

—End of flashback—

Felix: (Descendants, huh…. )

Felix: (In the past, my father had placed much pride in the Mont d’or family that held a long sense of history in France)

Felix: (As we transferred into the modern era, our name lost its noble standing, and it seems he had a strong push to restore our family name to its former glory, is what my brother had said)

Felix: (He wished to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors; where those of the Mont d’or family were known to be vampires)

Felix: (My father who was relatively wealthy, brought in shady business practices and dealings in an attempt bring back reputation and create connections)

Felix: (Truly.. such as how a vampire drains a human’s blood)

Felix: In the past.. I used to hate how being his son granted me a title「The vampire’s son」

Felix: (A pendant with a mirror pendant… What was the reason that this was left for me.. )

Felix: (Were you trying to say that this son of yours would walk down the same path as you)

Felix: I will… never become like you 

???: To think so is not a fault of yours. However, one must also acknowledge it’s temptation

???: The same blood of mine runs through your veins. Regardless of how much you loathe me, you are unable to run from my grasp

Felix: you’re wrong…

Felix: (10 years have already gone by since his passing… why now of all times…)

???: (Surely you know the answer?)

???: (I am not your father. But rather, I am you. The you who continuously chose to look away, the other ‘bastard’ in you.)

???: (When you were in a state of frustration, when you were in a state of suffering, it was I that helped you)

Felix: (What do you…!)

???: (Whenever you begun to stray from your ideals, burdened with troubles, I would take care of them in your stead)

???: (Is that not why you constantly stand to create what you truly desire?)

???: (It’s the same as now.)

???: (Hand it over to me, as I can truly shape it into the form you desire. What, I won’t destroy it like last time)

???: (You’re itching to remake what was last time no?. I can grant that wish...)

------------

???: hm…?

???: ….oh. It seems as something very interesting has taken root

???: To turn it down, thoughtless…. It seems I’ll have to tighten the leash on my servants

???: It seems I am to return… to my residence.

--[Door opens]--

Tomoru: Oh, Feli-san. Welcome back

Felix: Why are we not to participate.

Tomoru: eh…?

Felix: An opportunity to make my presence known to the world is not something one cannot afford to simply lose.

Felix: You lot. You lot are my servants no?

Felix: You are to respond to that calling. To let the people hark our music, as it shapes into a more refined melody to signify my rebirth 

Felix: To show to the world, that I, the vampire king that rules over all others, has been born once more

Felix: fufufu….

-----

???: (A vampire king is a species of superior ranking, with the power to rule over his subordinates and humans alike)

???: (This hierarchy was instilled to me at a young age, as I became aware to my own position as an exploiter)

Jun: umm… he was born in France, is a language teacher, is Fantome Iris’ vocalist and…

Tomoru: He’s also on good terms with his older brother Gilbert right. Even his interest in band work was because of him as well

Daimon: That’s right

Jun: But, only that… if it’s anything before we met him then we don’t know much…

Koharu: Well, that makes sense. What I’m gonna talk about is the stuff that happened after I met him in Nagoya so…

Koharu: I don’t remember if Daimon was there or not but this one time when we were drinking… he just spilled…

Koharu: Things like 「I used to hate being called a vampire」 and things like that..

Jun: eh… is.. Is that so?

Daimon: …I don’t remember that one. Maybe it was one of the times I wasn't there then

Tomoru: To make something that he hated being labeled as to become a major part of his band character, I wonder what happened…

Koharu: It seems that he met someone who changed his perspective on it. According to him, if he never met that kid, then Fantome Iris would have never existed

Jun: Something as important as a trigger like that… happened so long ago..

Jun: But then… if his mind had never changed, he wouldn’t have thought of Fantome Iris’ worldview either…

Daimon: So then Koharu. How does that relate to this?

Koharu: I mentioned that I had also once seen Feli act out like that right?

Koharu: Just a while before that, he said it himself 「I hated my father who had been ridiculed as a vampire. Hence being the son of such a man, I could never have loved myself. 」

Tomoru: Feli-san’s father…

Jun: To be ridiculed is, to be mocked with contempt right?

Daimon: Vampires are often depicted as exploitative monsters towards humans, in other words they are likened to devils.

Daimon: In that case, it's possible he was called in a way similarly meaning that

Koharu: Yeah. When I heard it, I though 「Damn, this guy is going through some rough stuff too」but…

Koharu: Maybe, that was the reason altogether

Tomoru: So you mean, when Feli-san started acting off, it was maybe because he was thinking of his father?

Koharu: It’s just a guess though. Well, that's the main reason I’m lingering on this feeling so

Tomoru: …thank you

Tomoru: Going back to the topic we discussed earlier, I suppose it's really best if we don’t participate in it after all

Tomoru: I’ll take this time to contact Feli-san and relay it to him too

--[Tomoru walks off]--

Daimon: It’s already so late. I didn’t think we’d be talking this much…

Daimon: I should get ready to prepare dinner

Koharu: Yeah lets. I was just about feeling a bit hungry too

Jun: Then, I’ll go back to my room so I won’t get in the way

Koharu: You better come when we call you okay-? Sometimes you get so into your games you can’t hear us sometimes so watch out

Jun: I- I’ll be careful..!

———————————

[One hour passes]

--[Door opens]--

Tomoru: Oh, Feli-san. Welcome back

Felix: Why are we not to participate.

Tomoru: eh…?

Felix: An opportunity to make my presence known to the world is not something one cannot afford to simply lose.

Felix: You lot. You lot are my servants no?

Daimon: …Felix, what’s wrong… This isn’t like you

Felix: What does a cretin like you know of me? You who have only known me for only a few short years.

Daimon: …

Koharu: Oi. Feli. Even if you’re joking, there’s things you can and can’t say.

Koharu: Are you recovering from a bad hangover or something?

Felix: Intoxication huh… True, I may have certainly been quite drunk upon the alcohol of sweet reverie for some time now

Koharu: …Ha?

Felix: To be named the king of vampires, one must truly act as one. More vampiric – indeed, it seems I may need to suck them dry

Felix: As if one were drinking the blood of the living, as if depriving one of life. With more violent ways, more savagery… as they say 

Tomoru: This is… is this what you mentioned previously Koharu-san…?

Koharu: Don’t say something that stupid. Even I’ve never see him fly off the railing this hardly either

--[Jun enters / Jun falls]--

Jun: w-why with this sudden uneasy atmosphere…. It scared me so hard that I fell… ouch ouch…

Felix: It seems there was a servant remaining. You lot, heed my words.

Jun: F- Felix-san…?

Felix: You are to respond to that calling. To let the people hark our music, as it shapes into a more refined melody to signify my rebirth 

Felix: To show to the world, that I, the vampire king that rules over all others, has been born once more

Felix: fufufu….

Kanata: Whats this~?? 「Reasoning behind SkyFox Record’s resuscitation」 ?

Kanata: Isn’t this like, super late by now? Why’s it getting posted on music gossip sites at a time like this?

Haruka: …who knows

Kanata: The stuff written is just about the previous director and stuff, like who gives a damn~

Reiji: Don’t just take people’s stuff, give it back…!

Kanata: Whoa, Karasuma-senpai, what’s with the scary face?

--[Door opens]--

Shu: Fwah~ (yawn).... Good morning

Reiji: Shu. Do you know anything about this news?

Shu: First thing in the morning…. what, a gossip article? Oh~ it’s about my label isn’t it

Reiji: ….So you weren’t the one who did this then?

Shu: Why would I do something like this. At this points there’s nothing too it anymore

--[Door opens]--

Tadaomi: Good morning. Everyone’s all riled up this morning, seems like you’re all having fun

Kanata: Kurama-senpai, take a lookie at this

Tadaomi: Hm~ It seems our label got on the news

Tadaomi: Since there are people with eyes on us, should we take it as a sign and be happy…

Reiji: NO FUCKING WAY

Kanata: God that scared me~ It’s rare to see you so angry Karasuma-senpai

Reiji: …shu. I’m going to make a visit to Sosui-san.

Shu: Sure. Today was a scheduled off-day after all, feel free to do so

Haruka: …do you have an appointment reserved

Reiji: …thats… I’m doing that NOW.

--[He runs off into his room]--

Kanata: Karasuma-senpai looked so panicked ~~

Haruka: If you poked around someone when they wanted to be left alone of course they'd snap

Haruka: You sure You didn’t do this

Shu: Both you and Reiji… why would you think I’d do something like this this far in. Morons, both of you.

Shu: I’d rather instead of you being so concerned about Reiji, to maybe be a little more concerned about your songwriting~

Shu: You making progress?

Haruka: …a bit

Tadaomi: We’re working on it while consulting each other right

Kanata: It’s unfair that you get him all to yourself Kurama-senpai. I wanna talk to aniki as well~~

[SkyFox Records office]

Reiji: I deeply apologize for making a sudden appointment.

Sosui: No, I’d say the same here. I didn’t expect that this far in there’d suddenly be talk Fushimi family either

Reiji: I just want to confirm but… this.. Is not your work is it

Sosui: No.

Sosui: To me, the previous director of SkyFox Records ; your actual father, was someone I deeply respected

Sosui: Even if I had thoughts of raising the popularity of SkyFox Records, I would never have resorted to these methods

Sosui: Or maybe, you can’t trust my words?

Reiji: …ah no. To start the suspicion I had was quite small but just in case, I had to confirm first hand

Reiji: This article, who do you think is possibly responsible for it

Sosui: …To be honest, I can’t think up any person who would target us at this time either…

Sosui: The timing isn’t right. If maybe it was when we first started, or during your debut live, I would see as to why but this time is…

Sosui: I can’t seem to pinpoint the reason as to ‘why now’

Reiji: …The possibility of it being from ‘Duck River’ is zero?

Sosui: If this was really the work of ‘that man’, then he would have chosen a more fragile time

Sosui: In the time I worked as his secretary, I understood his methods and reasoning

Reiji: is that so…

Sosui: I’ll also continue looking into this news as well

Sosui: On that topic, are you in contact with your family– your birth family ?

Reiji: ………

Sosui: ….I see. I’m sorry for asking a hard question…

Reiji: …the people of the Fushimi family, have already suffered enough everyday…

Reiji: I can’t have outsiders chase them around anymore either.

Reiji: I never want to ever see my mother, father…. brother, to be cornered again

Reiji: I’ll get to the bottom of who pulled this

Sosui: …I understand your feelings. I’ll help out too. That being said, having you take direct action right now is not recommended.

Reiji: So you’re telling me to Stay Put and Not Do Anything… !?

Sosui: I said 「right now」. In regards to your family, I’ll follow up on them

Yamato: The atmosphere here is so heavy… did something happen?

Misaki: Nah, its just ….

Yamato: and Fuuta?

Aoi: …He’s confined himself to his room. I think it’s best if we just let him be for now

Yamato: Is this something related to Fuuta’s beloved sax? You went out and got it fixed right

Kohei: ah–... you don’t need to think about it. I’ll call you when dinner’s served

Yamato: Will Fuuta be able to recover quickly then?

Kohei: ……….i don’t know

Misaki: For the time being… maybe not

Yamato: …Usually you guys would answer ‘If you leave him for a bit he’ll calm down’.

Yamato: That's how its always been. Since you guys know Fuuta so well.

Yamato: And if it’s you guys that are saying that its impossible to tell, then, I think I have a valid enough reason to know too

Yamato: I’m not asking for you to tell me everything that happened in the past

Yamato: But. I’m also a part of FuRai as well. If it's really a heavy issue, then I deserve to bare the weight of it too

Kohei: yamato….

Yamato: If it’s something so difficult that you can’t tell me, just say so too

Kohei: …no, that’s not true. I’ll explain what happened

Yamato: Are you really sure?

Kohei: Weren’t you the one that told us to tell you

Kohei: You’re just as important a companion of ours. The reason we didn’t tell you, was because we didn’t want you to become wary around him as well

Kohei: It’ll be a bit long but… hear me out

– [Kohei explains everything] -

Kohei: ….–and that’s how it is

Yamato: ………

Kohei: I’m guessing you didn’t expect it to be this heavy. Shocked, aren’t you…

Yamato: no…

Yamato: You guys were… always carrying the weight of it yourselves

Yamato: For Fuuta, it was an incident so traumatic that it caused him to lose parts of his memory. For you guys, it was difficult to never speak about a person that you all held so dear to your hearts…

Aoi: (crying) it wasn’t for a reason as gallant as that…. even if we said it was for Fuuta’s sake… we still selfishly…!

Misaki: stop it, Aoi

Yamato: It must have been hard for you too, Kohei-san. Since Fuuta’s brother was a brother to you too as well

Kohei: ….! *Sniffle*

Yamato: Thank you for telling me. I felt glad to be included

Yamato: I apologize for forcing you to spill it…

Kohei: *Sniffle* no, it’s okay

Kohei: didn’t I tell you before, you're a fellow bandmate. A important companion, and an irreplaceable friend.

Yamato: Kohei-san…

Aoi: (crying even harder) uuu…. Yamato~!!

Yamato: a–ah~... we’re gonna need to get the bath towel

Aoi: You say that as if you’re not bawling too!

Yamato: Is this what they call 「After the storm, comes a wall」*

Misaki: If you’re saying that, it should be a 「calm」!

Sosui: Fuuta-kun is… under the weather right? Is he okay?

Kohei: I apologize on his behalf that he can’t attend. He should be better after taking some more rest

Sosui: nono, I would have liked to say to rest well …. But well…

Aoi: Is there something wrong?

Sosui: Could you take a look at this?

Yamato: SYANA’s ex-vocalist…!

Misaki: Oh, were you a fan of him?

Yamato: The musician I look up to, once mentioned that he felt in awe when watching him live

Misaki: To have a reaction based off that is something else too though…

Aoi: A 「Sales Ranking Game」?

Kohei: Then that means, that we should..?

Sosui: Yes. Since it’s a sponsorship project run by the world-famous label GENESIS TRAX, I also want this label to participate

Sosui: It should also be a good step to help your future endeavors as well

Kohei: ….

Sosui: …It seems you may have something that’s making it difficult for you to reply

Sosui: I can’t wait too long, as there are already alot of people announcing their participation …but, you can bring it home and discuss it there

* The correct proverb is「雨が降って地固まる」, Yamato says 「雨が降って壁固まる」. It should fully (correctly) translate to 「After the storm, comes a calm」

Kenta: Leave it in a way that we can start immediately when Nayuta comes back

Ryo: k~~ay~

Miyuki: He’s letting us through alot more today huh

Reon: You think the same too?

Reon: Since Nayuta usually stops us at the smallest points 

Reon: Maybe thats a sign thats he’s satisfied with how we’re doing 

Kenta: (...no. I feel bad for Reon by saying this but I feel like its not that our playing has gotten better at all…)

Kenta: (He let the parts where he’d usually stop us slip through more… that isn’t like him)

Ryo: Earthlings get sick when they ignore their needs right?

Kenta: Yes. It’s true that Nayuta has been focusing on song writing recently but…

Kenta: (This isn’t a one-off incident. However, usually he would become hypersensitive to everything and point out even smaller misses..)

Kenta: (...then possibly, is his asthma acting up even more?)

Kenta: (But if that were the case, there would have been signs like wheezing, but there’s been nothing)

Kenta: (Regardless, Nayuta’s condition is different from all the other occurrences. I should be more on alert.)

Miyuki: Isn’t this because you’ve been so into songwriting. After this, make sure you do nothing but rest kay?

Nayuta: …don’t give me orders

Ryo: But Nayuta, shouldn’t you rest for today at least?

Ryo: Because if you don’t, Kenken will get worried, become a watchdog and keep an eye on you until you drift off, from the inside of your room..

Reon: Eh, that’s taking it a little too far there…

Miyuki: Reon-kun, take one look at Kenta and tell me you really think Ryo’s words are a joke?

Yuuto: Got it

Furusawa: The promotional live for the project is currently in the works. I know you just had that live a while ago but, I have trust that you can pull this one off just as well

Furusawa: It’d be helpful if you planned your new song around this project as well, I’ll leave it to you

Wataru/Rio: Yes.

Furusawa: It’s a big project so the direction will be stirred from over here but…

Furusawa: Is there anything you’re particular about?

Ren: a……………

Furusawa: Hm? Ren, something wrong

Ren: n-no. Everything’s fine….

Furusawa: Okay. Well, if there is something, just tell me later on if you want

Furusawa: Then, we’ll end today’s meeting here. You’ll be busy in the near future but good luck

Banri: Thank you very much

Furusawa: Yuuto. Stay back for a bit. There’s something I need to talk about

Yuuto: huh? o…   understood

Furusawa: You know what I’m referring to right?

Furusawa: It’s about your father

Yuuto: …guessed so…

Furusawa: Well off course. After the news broke you’ve been all over the place, I can’t just let it be either

Yuuto: did I… is it really that easy to see? I thought I was operating as normal…. But…

Furusawa: No self-awareness huh… then its pretty bad. So, have you been in contact?

Yuuto: With my family? …not in the slightest…

Furusawa: You…. Okay, listen to me. [--------]

--[Hallway]--

Banri: Will he be okay?

Ren: surely, it’s about his dad right…

Wataru: Since this is Furusawa-san we’re talking about, he’s probably talking to him so Yuu can get back to normal and calm down…

Rio: Well since Goryo isn’t the type to talk about his family on his own accord after all

Rio: We should also wait for him to feel comfortable enough to open up on his own as well

Wataru: Yeah, I’d say the same 

Ren: Yuuto also has alot weighing on his shoulders right now too. So…

Banri: We should think about what to do from now on then. To lessen that burden on him

Wataru: Yup. I also want to get the new song concept down soon. Kikyo, maybe later  we could have a meeting–

Ryuusuke: Woah, y’all were called by unc as well?

Rintaro: The only one not here is, your leader boy it seems

Wataru: Good work today. Yuu is currently talking to Furusawa-san at the moment

Ren: um. I’d like to apologize for not properly greeting you that time

Ryuusuke: Hm? ….oh~ that thing. We don’t really mind it so don’t worry so much

Ryuusuke: How-ever…

Ryuusuke: Nanahoshi. I need to tell you one thing.

Ren: Me..? What is it?

Ryuusuke: You… You’re not fulfilling your role as a vocalist one bit.

Ren: ….. —— Huh?

Furusawa: Oh, good work today to you two

Ryuusuke: We arrived on time as requested

Rintaro: We met those Argonavis kids just now 

Ryuusuke: The leader had this super muddled face when we passed by, something up?

Furusawa: Ah… well, just some stuff. More importantly, how are they in your opinions

Ryuusuke: Young

Furusawa: Well, if you’re looking at it that way then they’re always young. …plus, you know that's not what I meant

Ryuusuke: Being young isn’t a bad thing. The fresh vibe is a strong selling-point. The problem is… how long can they push through with just having ‘that’.

Furusawa: I see, as expected… I hope you’ll continue to look after them then

Ryuusuke: Yeah yeah, we don’t have a choice but to listen to your requests

Rintaro: So, what’s the main topic?

Furusawa: I’m sure you already know about it but… its about the project that Iryuu Koga is involved in

Furusawa: Hah! You don’t even need to ask, you have your answer

Ryuusuke: We’re joining it. Ain’t that right, Rin-chan

Rintaro: Of course. What Ryuusuke wants, is what I also want after all

Reiji: Yeah, I had a bunch of stuff to consult him about. Didn’t expect you to still be up

Tadaomi: I was doing university work. Rather than being holed up in my room, I’d make more progress in the living room instead

Reiji: I see…

Tadaomi: You seem to be a little troubled, is something wrong?

Reiji: …recently, have you felt something off?

Tadaomi: Felt something?

Reiji: No, I was just thinking that the band atmosphere was kinda off recently but…

Tadaomi: Haruka was off last practice but… he didn’t do so this time, so I think its okay

Tadaomi: You’re always spotting the small things arent you, Reiji-kun

Reiji: …it’d be great if I was overthinking

Tadaomi: If you’re talking about things changing recently, wouldn't it be Shu-kun instead?

Tadaomi: Since getting cut off from Duck Rivers, and cutting his hair, it feels like his attitude sort of changed right

Reiji: That’s true…

Reiji: Since up till now, he was moving in ways that tried to make his father deem him useful, after getting suddenly cut off, he probably felt a sense of confusion in what to do going forward

Reiji: And now he made the decision to see to that SkyFox succeeds

Tadaomi: (And with that, Shu-kun became a lot more behaved, so it’s gotten boring…)

Tadaomi: But still, I wonder why the secretary of Duck River suddenly became the representative

Tadaomi: I heard about the contract between Sosui-san and Shu-kun but… its kind of an odd relationship 

Tadaomi: Do you know anything about it, Reiji-kun?

Reiji: To an extent I’d say

Tadaomi: Hmmm…

Tadaomi: Maybe Shu-kun, rebuilt SkyFox for you?

Reiji: What….?

Tadaomi: Well because, your ‘original’ family, the Fushimi’s originally managed SkyFox right?

Reiji: …I don’t want to talk that much about.. my home

Reiji: and anyway, I’m sure that Shu doesn’t have intention in mind

Tadaomi: Really?

Reiji: It was only because conditions aligned. Thats it.

Reiji: Plus, because of that name use, Sosui-san did reach out to me. So, you’re not entirely wrong

Tadaomi: Thats right

Reiji: …? Look at the time

Reiji: I’ll be heading to my room soon, you’re gonna stay here?

Miyuki: You fi–nally left your room. For starters, it's a relief that you're alive and kicking

Nayuta: …I’m going back to my room. Don’t bother me

Kenta: At the very least eat a bit before you go back. You haven’t ate anything right, here, we made some

Nayuta: Don’t need it. Just hand me the water

Miyuki: Hah… could you cut the stoic-act in half? I’ll give you my jelly supplements so at least just take that and eat in your room

Nayuta: …hmph

--[Nayuta enters his room]--

Reon: Kenta-san….

Kenta: It’s the usual thing. If we just leave it in the fridge, he’ll take it out when he feels like it

Kenta: At least he took Miyuki’s jelly supplements, so there’s one good thing

Miyuki: But still, how long does he intend to hole up like that? If he keeps exerting himself at that rate, he’ll really pass out no?

Kenta: I’d assume until the song is done but still… Perhaps I really should be more forceful towards him…

Miyuki: Doesn’t he get that if he really does fall it’ll all be for nothing…

Reon: The Nayuta from the past few days feels more and more like he’s running through and it’s hard to watch…

[Street]

Reiji: Shu, where do you intend to go?

Shu: Does it matter? It just felt suffocating to be holed up like that

Shu: I’ll take a walk out for a bit and maybe when I get back Haruka will be somewhat better

Reiji: …that's new then

Reiji: If you were really concerned about Haruka, I don’t think it was the best choice to leave those 3 together 

Shu: What? Reiji, aren’t you misconstruing something here?

Shu: It’s not that I’m being considerate to Haruka 

Shu: I couldn’t care less if he got pushed back by Kanata and suffered more for it

Reiji: …then, you’re looking for a sort of dissonance?

Shu: Haruka’s music and voice heavily depend on his mental state right? Then wouldn’t it be better if he just broke, is a thing for thought

Reiji: (...he and I are the same, sort of justification then)

Shu: Plus, I’m quite looking forward to what sort of music Haruka and Tadaomi can muster up

Shu: Maybe at this moment, Tadaomi is also joining in and putting pressure on Haruka too

Reiji: It seems that they’re having trouble with the songwriting process at the moment, so are you intending to just watch it go over?

Shu: Yup. Isn’t it more fun to see someone get overwhelmed and sink down in something they thought they had sturdy footing in, right

Shu: And I think the harder he gets stuck in a slump, the better the resulting product will be

Reiji: I understand

Reiji: …my condolences to Haruka

Tadaomi: Haruka-kun, welcome back

Tadaomi: I was thinking about some things, are you willing to listen?

Haruka: ….what is it

Tadaomi: I regret saying things that made me sound like I was waiting on you earlier

Tadaomi: When I thought about it for a bit, Shu-kun did say that he wanted the both of us to create something

Tadaomi: So, rather than having both of our ideas laid out, how about we think this through together

Tadaomi: That way, there's a chance that better ideas can come to fruition

Haruka: …you.. What are you thinking

Tadaomi: I’m only thinking about what I just said?

Haruka: …………fine

Haruka: I’ll join that

Haruka: I have no idea what you’re thinking about but, it’d be faster this way too…

Tadaomi: Fufu, that’s lovely. Then, from the top again, I look forward to working with you, Haruka-kun

.

--[Door opens]--

Kanata: Sounds like you’re havin’ fun. Whatcha chattin’ about? Songwriting?

Haruka: You have nothing to do with this.

Kanata: Aww don’t say that, aniki–

--[Door opens]--

Shu: I’m back. Lets restart practice~

Reiji: Haruka, is everything okay now

Haruka: yeah

Kanata: Boo~~ I got interrupted 

Tadaomi: Shu-kun. We’ll work hard on the songwriting okay

Shu: Why are you repeating yourself. Well, I’ll look forward to it then

Reiji: I would like to apologize for taking up your time despite being so busy

Sosui: No, don’t mind it. Lucky timing though, since there was also something I wished to discuss

Reiji: And that is?

Sosui: I want you to relay this to Shu-kun

Sosui: A little while back, this sort of project information started circulating

Reiji: …a 「Sales ranking game」?

Sosui: GENESIS TRAX, where Iryuu Koga is under,  is a worldwide known music label

Sosui: I’m not sure if what’s written there is pure fact, but it doesn’t change the fact that this project has great benefits attached

Sosui: A bunch of labels have already announce their partnering to it as well

Reiji: So EpsilonΦ is to join this too?

Sosui: Yes. I also indeed to offer this to Fujin RIZING! as well but at the moment they’re a little rocky

Reiji: Fujin RIZING! as well?

Sosui: Hm? What do you mean by 「as well」?

Reiji: …To tell the truth, this is what I wanted to discuss today as well but, we’re also a tad rocky these days

Sosui: Is that so

Reiji: You don’t sound very surprised. Possibly you’ve already noticed Haruka’s slump?

Sosui: I did have a thought. But, I didn’t know the exact reasoning as to why. Do you have any ideas as to why, Reiji-kun?

Reiji: …no, there wasn’t anything that stood out to me in particular

Sosui: I see. If possible, I want both EpsilonΦ and Fujin RIZING! to participate in this promotion project and release a single, so maybe just keep this in mind

Reiji: I understand. I’ll relay that to Shu as well

[Sharehouse]

Koharu: It’s not that I have a suspicion… it’s more like…

Koharu: In the past… I had also once seen Feli act out like that…

Daimon: Are you thinking about the time when the previous band disbanded?

Koharu: You also caught on?

Daimon: Not really, I had a fleeting thought that that may be the case

Tomoru: What happened?

Koharu: I can’t pinpoint where but, the Feli from back then, there was definitely something up with how he acted

Koharu: Well, him making decisions to go here and there are the same as now but…

Koharu: How do I put this… there was sometimes a more dictator-like feeling there

Koharu: Plus there was a lot more disputes between members too��

Jun: I thought that it’d be inevitable that there’d be some disagreements and conflicts between so..?

Koharu: That's true but… I can’t really put it into words, sorry

Koharu: Somehow, I felt like I was seeing a double of the Feli from back then, so it kinda got me thinkin’

Tomoru: His previous band, huh

Jun: Is…is this another warning for disbandment…?

Koharu: I don’t know. Just like then, nothing was really explained either

Koharu: I’m not in the position to say this but still… in truth he’s already broken up one band already 

Koharu: As it stands, the current Fantome Iris has succeeded in bringing forth his ideal world, and that's something that Feli himself gets as well

Koharu: Thats why, I can’t really imagine him letting this go so willy-nilly either

Jun: thats… thats right…

Tomoru: …in this situation, its better to postpone our participation then it seems

Daimon: Tomoru, what do you mean?

Tomoru: Ah, sorry. Actually, I was planning on discussing it here too so

Tomoru: Could you take a look at this?

Koharu: hm? Whats that?

Jun: 「Notice: Sales ranking game sponsored by GENESIS TRAX to commemorate the return of the vocalist of the legendary band SYANA, Iryuu Koga 」...

Daimon: Thats reminds me that a while back there was news about him returning

Koharu: GENESIS TRAX is like, a worldwide-known label isn’t it. Whoa

Jun: wha…what’s with this one?

Tomoru: I got this from Mashu-san post live

Tomoru: He said that it’ll be good promo for both GYROAXIA and Fantome Iris so give it a try

Jun: 「This promotion will be aligned with the sale start of Iryuu Koga’s solo single, in order to light the music industry up. In particular, we would like to request newer bands to participate as well」 ...

Jun: But, to release alongside that Iryuu Koga, thats… isn’t that too reckless?

Jun: It’s more like, those who are worthless dross bow your heads and look upon my presence ..?

Daimon: Aren’t you just imagining it for the worst? I’m pretty sure its just as written there

Tomoru: If we released a new song alongside this promotion, there is a chance we’ll bring in more talk so, I was thinking of discussing this in the direction of joining but…

Tomoru: If I put Feli-san’s current condition into consideration, maybe its for the best that we skip out on this one

Koharu: He did seem to be in a stump for new song ideas too…

Daimon: While he has already started, considering he was just in France yesterday, I don’t believe that he’s made much progress on that end

Daimon: Even the walk he’s out on right now, he said he wanted to finalize the concept 

Tomoru: and dealing a final blow like this on him isn’t good either

Tomoru: …later, I think I’ll just put in a call to decline with Mashu-san 

Daimon: …yeah. For this time, that sounds like the best choice

Jun: Ah, but… is it really okay for us to be making this decision on our own…

Koharu: True. It’s probably a good idea to form a solid reason as to why we’re thinkin’ of declining this offer to Feli that he’ll need to accept too

Tomoru: That's right. Thank you

Daimon: …Koharu. Don’t you think its better for you to explain Felix’s situation a little more to these two?

Koharu: But thats…

Daimon: I believe that anything that affects the band’s financial input should be equally and thoroughly discussed with every member.

Tomoru: Daimon-san…

Koharu: …you, you got a point there. But at the same time, it’s not like I know everything either

Daimon: When needed, I’ll chime in too

Koharu: Feli wouldn’t want his personal reasons to negatively affect the band either so

Koharu: He definitely wouldn’t talk on his own accord

Daimon: …

Koharu: Well, if me spilling it sours his mood, I’ll apologize for that

Aoi: Ko-nii….

Fuuta: Why aren’t you telling me !? You know don’t you! Both Ko-nii and Aoi!

Misaki: Fuuta, lets calm down for a bit

Fuuta: Misaki… Lemme guess, you know too?

Misaki: …yeah, I know. I’ll tell you in a bit so give us some time

Misaki: Ko-nii. Choose a side

Kohei: Misaki…

Misaki: Fuuta himself is giving you this chance. By ignoring what he wants, do you think that’ll make him happy?

Misaki: Fuuta ain’t a kid anymore. Take this timing and it suddenly coming back to him, dontcha think it's ‘bout time to tell him

Aoi: …it’s become too hard to hide it from him now too

Kohei: ( I know what Misaki and Aoi are getting at. Even I wanna tell Fuuta about Sakutaro. But how…)

Kohei: ( how am I supposed to tell Fuuta without breaking that promise…)

Kohei: ( the last words of Sakutaro’s… to 「protect Fuuta’s happiness」...)

Kohei: ( I made a promise that I’d honor his final wish. To make Sakutaro’s wish a reality alongside Fuuta…)

Kohei: ( If I really tell Fuuta everything that he wants, I can’t tell if he’d break down like last time…)

Kohei: …sorry. Right now, I can’t… tell you everything

Fuuta: why…?

Kohei: I promise, one day I’ll tell you everything I know. …Misaki, you should at least tell him about Sakutaro

Misaki: ….got it

Kohei: …thanks

Fuuta: … … …

--[Flashback]--

Misaki: When I first met your brother, Sakutaro, I was pretty young back then. Maybe that was around, 3 years old I guess? I’m talking way before I met Aoi levels

Misaki: He was 7 years older than me so I always thought he was a cool bro. And you were all attached to your brother’s, always going around callin’ him 「Saku nii-chan, Saku nii-chan」.

Sakutaro: Kohei. Is it okay if my little brother and his friend come along to play?

Young Kohei: Saku nii-chan’s little brother, and his friend..? Sure, I’m okay with that

Sakutaro: Fuuta, Misaki. This is my friend, Kohei-kun. He said he’s happy to play with you

Misaki: Ko–he -kun?

Sakutaro: Kohei-kun is 2 years older so maybe it's better for you to call him Kohei onii-chan

Fuuta: Ko-he nii-chan !

Kohei: Er… nice to meet’cha, Fuuta-kun, Misaki-kun

Misaki: Ah..ah… um.. Is it okay to call you Ko-nii?

Fuuta: Ah! That also sounds good! I wanna call you 「Ko-nii」 too!

Sakutaro: These kiddos are also in the same nursery as you

Sakutaro: They’re different years but maybe if you come to play with them at the park. I’d love for you 3 to get along

Kohei: Got it. Maybe I’m not as good as Saku nii-chan but… I’ll be you two’s onii-chan!

Fuuta: Yaaay! I got a second nii-chan!

Sakutaro: Haha, rather than a friend you ended up getting a 「onii-chan」 huh. Isn’t that nice, Fuuta, Misaki

.

Misaki: …but Sakutaro prone to gettin’ sick, so when we hit elementary school he got hospitalized, and wasn’t able to play with us anymore

Misaki: and then… when we were our 2nd year of middle school, his illness suddenly got worse and…

--[Flashback ends]--

Misaki: ..You couldn’t bear the idea of your beloved brother passing away that you well… by forgetting everything up ‘til that point you were able to stabilize yourself

Banri: True that there’s a drum set, base and even guitar but… why'd cha bring us here..?

Ryuusuke: Oooi–, is it fine to use em?

Bar owner: Yeah sure, even reserved em for you this time

Ryuusuke: Thanks!*

Rintaro: hm? …What are you loitering around for? You guys better get ready too

Yuuto: !?

Wataru: Since you suddenly dragged us along, I’m not catching the drift here…

Ryuusuke: What, y’all don’t know our lives or something?

Ryuusuke: Ain’t it obvious by now that we’ve been using support members provided by the label by now

Banri: Yeah we know that part but more like now, here now, are we supposed to be playing that part !?

Rintaro: Play the part. C’mon, get ready

--[ST//RAYTRIDE performance starts, with argo as supporting]--

Wataru: (Ah–, what is this…)

Banri: (You’re joking right, even if we’re all over the place they’re matching us..)

Yuuto: (It feels like I’m being pulled up by Tennoji-san and Yodogawa-san’s voices..)

Yuuto: (Its different from him, and also different from Ren but… this prowess is overpowering…)

Wataru: (These are… the true pros….)

--[Performance ends]--

Ryuusuke: Thanks a bunch–!

Bar owner: That's my line. Cause of your performance the mood here is completely lifted so it helps a bunch

Rintaro: Thats because we’re on friendly terms with you of course. Right? Ryuusuke

Ryuusuke: Yeah! We fancy this place alot so look forward to the next one

Bar owner: These guys over here, are they the juniors you were talking about the other day?

Ryuusuke: Yeah yeah. Well now we know they’re more jello than we thought they’d be though

Ryuusuke: Lemme borrow that place for a bit~

Rintaro: For now, take a seat

Yuuto: r…right…

Wataru: Do you frequent this place alot?

Rintaro: You could say so. We poked in and out here a few times before our major debut so I guess you can say we’ve been long time patrons

Ryuusuke: We can’t go too frequently anymore since we’ll get mobbed by fans so we’re holdin’ back

Ryuusuke: Okay. Let's switch to the main topic here

Ryuusuke: You kiddos, just like your presentation; your playing is just as sugary

Banri: …so you mean to say we’re lacking in skill…?

Rintaro: Half right, but also half wrong

Ryuusuke: I ain’t callin’ ya lacking in skill in total. But yeah, y’all got that roughness that comes with bands newly starting off

Ryuusuke: Just as I said, y’all are all ‘sugar’. Maybe ‘sweetly spoiled’ is a better word

Ryuusuke: When you hit a troubled wall somebody will help you, everyone’s all in this together holdin’ hands kinda stuff….  Its all just fluff

Banri: But, isn’t the internal workings of the band just as important right

Ryuusuke: If ya wanna go off and just casually have fun playin’, then go do it as a side hobby or something

Yuuto: ….!

Rintaro: If you’re really looking into going pro, the current rate you’re at needs to change, stat.

Ryuusuke: …On that note! The special advice lesson cuts off here!

Wataru: sorry…?

Ryuusuke: What, ya thought we’d go from a to z or somethin’?

Ryuusuke: Do we look like a pair of nice seniors like that to you?

Rintaro: Ryuusuke in actuality is a nice person though 

Ryuusuke: Rin-chan ya didn’t need to add that in

Ryuusuke: Yeah but he actually wanted to put a word in with Nanahoshi directly but yeah… maybe it can hold off ‘til next time

Ryuusuke: So, we’re gonna log out now so y’all better hurry back

--[They leave]--

Banri: …hah, from start to finish I don’t get them

Wataru: Yeah… but saying all that, they were amazing. Yu? You’re spacing out, something wrong?

Yuuto: Hm? Oh… oh, yeah… We’re going back right

Banri: Yeah. It feels out of place for us to be here anyways so…

Banri: Ren-kun’s pair, are probably already at home right…?

[Park]

--[A while back]--

Ren: r…Rio, wait!

Rio: Nanahoshi

Ren: Um… about Yuuto

Rio: Yeah, I get it. At the moment, Yuuto is trying to hold it out alone

Rio: …well, there’s also a feeling of disappointment that he didn’t come to talk it out either..

Ren: Same here… I wonder if Yuuto is really okay

Rio: Once some time has passed and he has all his thoughts in place, I’m sure he’ll explain it
