#Knight tsukasa came home guys

[ksksksrahrah]

[valeriele3]

Have another TWST and Enstars crossover (kinda)

Dorm Leaders + Jamil

Your friends remind you of another friend from back home

Riddle:

“Hey Riddle, I just noticed..You look a lot like a friend from back home”

“I do..?”

“Mhm! His name is Tsukasa Suou! He looks almost exactly like you! Except his eyes are a different color and he doesn’t have your uh heart ahoge”

“I see..Tell me, is he a follower of rules?”

“Uhm..I guess? I mean he is a knight so..”

Leona:

“Y’know..You forcing me to let you sleep on my lap reminds me of someone dear to me back in my world..”

“…”

“You remind me a lot of Ritsu. He’s very veryyy dear to me..He would basically sleep 24/7 and whenever he saw me he would force me to sleep and cuddle with him. If not that then he’ll use me as a pillow”

“Huh? H-Hey Leona where’re you going??”

Leona leaving you because he’s jealous about this Ritsu and it put him in a bad mood(Leona’s annoyed lol)

Azul:

“Sigh..You and Ibara would get along nicely”

“Who?”

“A businessman who also likes to suck up to people”

Kalim:

“Hey Kalim, thank you..”

“Hm? For what?”

“For making me feel at home..You too Jamil”

“Eh?” (He was secretly hiding in the shadows)

“Oh! Jamil! You were here the whole time?!”

“..No comment on that”

“Anyways, what’d you mean “thank you?””

“You guys just remind me a lot of two of my friends back home..”

“Their names are Subaru Akehoshi and Hokuto Hidaka”

“Kalim’s energy and personality is just like Subaru and Jamil’s demeanor reminds me of Hokuto”

“Especially because of how you always take care of Kalim..It’s just like how Hokuto keeps Subaru in check..Well, as best as he can at least since Subaru can just somehow rope you into his problems—”

Vil:

“Sigh..I get it..! Please stop nagging me so much Vil”

“Hah? Nagging you? I’m just telling you to take better care of yourself”

“I swear it’s like Izumi came here with me..Sigh..”

“And who is this Izumi you speak of?”

“A friend although he feels more like a mom for always nagging me to take better care of myself..Or more specifically my skin”

“Now that I think about it, you guys would get along so well because of your obsession with looking good or somethin’..”

“Seems like a person who understands the importance of beauty. And, fix your way of speaking! It’s ‘something’ not ‘somethin’.

“It looks like Epel has been influencing you in a bad way. You aren’t allowed to see him anymore”

“Wha— Hey! You can’t do that!”

“I’m afraid I can darling”

Idia:

“Idia~ Come..Hang..Outtt with me..!” (You’re trying to drag him out of his room)

[Insert Panicked scream] “No! I don’t wanna..!”

“Staying inside 24/7 is bad for you! You need to get under the sun at least once in a while..!” (Don’t worry Idia I’m like that irl)

[Insert a picture of you trying to drag Idia out and him desperately hanging onto his bed]

“Oh!” [Accidentally drops Idia on the ground]

“If you don’t want to go outside that bad then..How about this? You can just use the vents to travel from place to place!”

“Huh..? W-What gave you that crazy idea..”

“Hm? Don’t worry it’s probably safe! A close friend of mine likes to travel around the place using the vents!”

“He even uses the vents in my room to spy on me every night” You wholeheartedly smile and laugh at the thought like it isn’t weird at all

‘What the heckkkk..That’s a different kind of weird..! That’s straight up creepy’ Idia is going a thousand miles a minute inside his mind right now

“C’mon..! You can be like Mayoi!”

“Is that what that creeps name is..?” Idia whispers to himself but you still heard it

“HAH?! DID YOU JUST CALL MAYOI A CREEP?! 💢💢”

[Insert Idia’s scream again] “N-NO! I DIDNT..!”

“Good” :))

“Now let’s go! Let us brave through this storm called life!”

Malleus:

“Heheh..I have a feeling you’ll get along well with a friend of mine back home Tsunotaro!”

“Oh?”

“I’m sure Nagisa would love to talk to you someday..! Maybe when I get back home I’ll introduce you to him”

“I see. Well if the child of man says so then I mustn’t refuse”

Malleus is thinking that maybe if he gains Nagisa’s favor Nagisa will allow you to date him. After all it’s good to have points from your close ones right? And if you mentioned this Nagisa then surely that person is close to you

Sorry about the other’s parts like Azul and Idia I couldn’t really think what to write for their part

[esidolmail]

Dear, Izumi, Tsukasa and Tatsumi.

I have been thinking about how certain Vocaloid songs fit in my opinion with you guys. So here is what I came up with! So for Tatsumi I have 'Snowman'. The snowman is like giving advice to the little boy who is in a troubled situation. Knowing your character I think you would do the same that is why I think it really fits you , Tatsumi! Plus the song is a absolute banger! As for Izumi and Tsukasa I think that 'Brother Confrontation' really fits you even if you guys aren't related. The reason is because I really like both your voices together, plus the word 'Checkmate' comes in it to also it's a absolute banger. Another I song That would sound good would be 'Knight of light'. It's about a boy saving a girl of boredem.

Also Izumi I hope you like my service as your producer! I will do my utmost best to be your producer, just like I do with the rest of my idols. I am happy to have you in my squad of TTIS.(standing now for Tatsumi, Tsukasa, Izumi and Shu.) ((i know I can make another word with those letters but I refuse to call my squad that.😭))Anyway I hope all of you have a amazing day as I do!

PS. Tatsumi and Izumi please come more often! The tea of our tea party with the squad is getting cold... I will otherwise have to physically drag both of you home if I must!

With love🫶🏻,

Glaze

leo tsukinaga - treehouse : alex g

childhoodfriends -> lovers

I don't think there's any warnings

' do not enter is written on the door way, Why cant everyone just go away. except you, you can stay '

: YN! come! come look!! . Leo Yelled, the taller boy came running to see what his best friend was talking about, when he came to the backyard of leos house. he was amazed! : W-woah! oh my god! A treehouse!. yn said

: I KNOW!! LETS PLAY LETS PLAY!!

'what do you think about my treehouse?'

: leo.. its been two years! we've had this treehouse for TWO- whole years!. Neither of them could believe it They've been friends for so long and this was there best achievement. : I'm so happy I met you yn! you'll be my best friend forever, right?. Leo asked And you nodded excitedly.

'it's where I sit and talk, rea-lly LOUD! '

Yn visits the treehouse everyday. waiting for leo to come home, It's been a few years and They're both in high-school now. Except one has idol work, and the other has sports. leo and yn make time to see each other, Now that they have phones. Numbers have been exchanged.

' I'm the captain and you can be the deputy. I'm so glad, you think I'm so funny- '

: I don't think I'll ever let you leave, leo.. i love you.. . You confessed to the male beside you. he was a bit confused at first but he finally got it : h-huh! You- i... You like me back?.. he asked, And you Kissed him on his lips. yns lips were soft and tasted like Oranges. And Leo wasn't expecting the kiss so he started to laugh, And yn joined him.

' do not enter is written on the Door way, why can't every one just go away. '

: Hey ah,, leo?..Who're they ?... Your greet to leo turned into a question as He slowly brought the rest of Knights to the treehouse. Your shared treehouse.

'except you, you can stay.'

: arashi, Tsukasa, Izumi, and ritsu! , Meet my partner. They waved up at you as leo climbed up the ladder to get up there, he sat next to you and you rested your head on his lap as everyone, one by one came up.

'What do you think, about my treehouse. '

yn is unusually quiet , leo thought to himself. but he didn't think much of it. everyone else talked with joy and questions, so why weren't you?.

'it's where I sit and talk really loud. '

The discomfort was growing unbearable, how could leo Invite people to You and his private treehouse. where so many memories were made?

'usually I'm all by myself'

: I'm gonna go inside and grab some... uh, drinks.. what do you guys want?. you asked as you stood up from your place beside leo. : Apple juice arashi said, : Grape soda ,said Tsukasa : Cherry juice... Ritsu said tiredly. and some water for Izumi. Surely that would buy you some time.

'I'm the captain and you can be the deputy '

Everyone left but leo. You could go to sleep new. Oh yeah! did I mention you sleep in the treehouse , In a shared bed with leo?. yn had went to go lay down until leo came in and asked : why were you so quiet todayy? .

'I'm glad you think I'm so fun-ny.'

so it wasn't obvious. You were jealous that he had more friends than you, but it wasn't that either. yn wanted all of His attention on him , : this is our! treehouse.. . yn said with a frown evident in his tone, leo knew now, And apologized with cuddles.

'I don't think I'm ever gonna let you leave.. '

5 years later, you guys were adults now! and guess what, You got married. And moved into Leo's Actual house.. Haha! you weren't leaving each other anytime soon

IK THE ENDING IS DOO DOO IM JUST TIRED AND I KEEP SEEING STUFF CASUE OF THE JNSECASCERRY NEED OF LIGHTS ON LIGHTSWITCHES.

[seishun-emergency]

HELLO i heard you say you like pondering bizarre combos of characters and so i am BACK. in honor of one of my friends on discord: thoughts on reichia (rei/chiaki)? or perhaps the rinne/kanata/hiyori dorm? and maybe even ritsukasa?

i also love thinking about new combos of characters. this is why i ended up with a 13 chapter fic in the works for a npc/playable character that have never even been in the same country canonically. but that 1. requires so much context and 2. i dont even know if you know genshin

HELLO WELCOME BACK !!! i Do love pondering bizarre combos it's like a fun brain exercise. a challenge in how well i know each character and also if they've interacted in canon yk. anyways. ritsukasa and rinne/kanata/hiyori first because . well you'll see why i saved chiarei for last. i also know nearly nothing about genshin so unfortunately i probably would not understand your 13 chapter fic but in another world i would like to

ritsukasa - love them. silly guys. knights r all in love with tsukasa and tsukasa is in love with all of them. my ritsukasa chess fic is one of the silliest things ive written and i looove it i think ritsu has too much fun being an absolute Menace to tsukasa and tsukasa keeps getting made the fool of but its ok bc they are in Love

rinne/hiyori/kanata - they are so. god. what a dorm. i dont think they'd be a very stable relationship but they'd be a fun one !!! hiyori and rinne seem like they'd either be flirting or fighting or both and kanata stabilizes them somewhat by just being a calmer and more easygoing guy but honestly. hiyori tomoe the baddest bitch of ensquare and rinne amagi assigned troublemaker at birth would not be stopped by just kanata. unless he like picked them up or somethign i believe him. they would have the best date aesthetics tho hiyori's feed would be pinterest fodder with their date pics

chiarei - SO OKAY. STORY TIME. we're getting into some leo lore here. leore if you will. now when i started the game before i fell into ibara and toriP hell i was chiakiP along with mao and koga (the ryuseitai episode in the anime changed me + meteor impact was the first ! era story i read) (i know.) and i REALLY wanted chiaki's atoz card when that gacha banner was out. i did 110 pulls on the banner and this guy REFUSED to come home.

fast forward to around the start of november. in this time ive gotten my roommate into enstars and between the two of us we have three accounts: my phone, her phone, and her ipad. rei's bday rolls around and my roommate, who really likes rei, decides to do pulls on rei's birthday banner to try and get his initial 5* home.

we do the pulls. we get the rainbow lights. it isn't rei that comes home - it's date plan atoz chiaki. (not even his initial 5*! the specific shuffle unit chiaki that refused to come home for me!)

we do pulls on the collective ipad account, also on rei's birthday banner: date plan atoz chiaki comes home again.

now you can imagine how envious i am at this point. the envy isn't the point of this story though the POINT IS. because of the fact that chiaki came home two separate times on rei's banner i made a joke that chiaki's holding rei's hand and that's why he's on rei's bday banner. and then i kinda ran with it and chiarei is perhaps a rarepair i am Considering. spinning around in my brain like a microwave,

okay onto the actual. commentary. i think chiarei is really fun actually :3 contrasting imagery of demon/villain vs. hero plus also the mutual friends of kanata and kaoru. rei flirting with chiaki because he has a smooth fanservice demon persona to uphold and chiaki getting flustered but then responding earnestly bc he is In Love and then rei getting Even More Flustered back. yeah. holds them in my hands Consider Them

- Sunshine - Sunny Side Episode 3

A few days later

Izumi: Fuuun... So that's why he went home first.

I get the whole story, but why do I have to participate as well?

Tsukasa: You've known Leo-san for a long time. Even Sena-senpai wouldn't like it if Leo-san's in bad shape, right?

Izumi: Hooow annoying. When you put it that way, there's no way I can refuse.

So, jobs where you can earn money while you play, right? I guess resort work would be the answer...?

Tsukasa: What the hell is that?

Izumi: Part-time jobs in tourist spots. We can earn money while enjoying ourselves there.

Tsukasa: I see. I'll consider it.

Izumi: No, no, don't. It's mostly about manual labor, and I heard that it's veeery busy during summer.

Letting your guard down and suddenly jumping into things will just get us hurt, 'kay?

Tsukasa: Ha-haah... Why mention it in the first place?

Izumi: ーI just gave you an example. You said you wanted to find a job where you could earn money while playing around, right?

What else... how about outdoor festivals?

But that kind of thing is mainly rock 'n' roll, we're not suited for it. Hmm...

Let's change the topic. This is just a waste of time.

Tsukasa: Right. Let's go to the office first then... Hm?

O-oniisama...

Izumi: Haa? What's wrong with you? I'm pretty sure I'm only a big bro for Yuu-kun.

Tsukasa: No, I don't mean you...

Izumi: Wait, who the-? Don't just tap my shoulders casuallyー

Izumi: Uwaa, Tenshouin!?

Eichi: Yo♪

Izumi: The hell do you mean "yo♪"? Don't just stand behind me without saying a thing.

Eichi: Fufu. I have not seen you as often as I did when I was at school, so my mischievous spirit was a little light. You just came back from abroad, right?

Izumi: Yeah, I just arrived a few minutes ago. Ah, right.

Tenshouin, we're looking for a job, have anything in mind?

Tsukasa: Sena-senpai!

Izumi: Let's take this chance, 'kay? Let's just see if he has anything in mind.

Tsukasa: But... I don't want to ask the Tenshouin-oniisama...

Izumi: Then, shut up. I'm the one asking here, not you.

It seems like Leo-kun's in a slump. We can't just leave him alone, right?

That's why we're looking for a dream job where we can play around and make money at the same time.

You're from a different company, so you wouldn't want to pass on such a good case but, let me know if you know of any.

Eichi: Hmm... Playing around huh...

How about joining the [SSF]?

Izumi: [SSF]?

Eichi: Wait just a minute, I'll send you the details in "Hold Hands".

...Did you receive it? The official name is the [Sunnyside Festival], a large-scale music festival held on the southern islands.

It's quite famous abroad. Artists from all over the world gather there and perform for three days and three nights.

Izumi: It's not a bad job. You, are you plotting some scheme?

Tsukasa: You're being rude.

Izumi: Kasa-kun, please keep your mouth shut. If it's such a famous festival, he's most likely to give it over to his "fine" or anyone belonging to StarPro.

Why are you giving it to us? Is there a special reason?

Eichi: Fufu, you don't have to be so defensive. I was informed by ES about this [SSF].

They won't send usー a unique Japanese cultural "idol" . We've already discussed this at the "summit".

"For an hour-long appearance, you'll have to stay in Japan for almost a week, including travel time. During that time, you cannot work in other places."

"They are not well-known and do not match our target demographic, so there is not much value in having them on the show."

"We can't just send those inexperienced rookies. Especially when they're basically representing us."

ーThose are their reasons. They didn't want some rookie to take this job, I was actually going to send them a rejection email tonight.

How about you "Knights"? As the reigning champions, it's also going to be hard to get a week's worth of your time.

There aren't many jobs with these terms and conditions. Do you think it's possible for you guys?

Tsukasa: (This is exactly the job we were looking for, but we have already taken on some work during this period.)

(Even if we move it, we still need to coordinate closely with the other parties...)

..........

...Please give us some time to think about it.

Eichi: Sure, but we don't have much time, alright?

Tsukasa: I understand. One night is fine, we'll make sure to give you our decided answer after.

Eichi: One night, alright. I'll be waiting.

Izumi: ..."One night is fine" you said.

Just because we're in front of that Tenshouin, you're all confident. We have less than half a day, 'kay?

Tsukasa: Yes, I understand. I'll make sure to call the others this instant.

[yandere-daze]

aaa can i request izumi and female s/o thats kind of scared of him after hearing about what he did to makoto? i love ur works best friend

Hey hey!! First of all thank youuu🥺 you guys really have no idea how much it cheers me up when you guys compliment my writing sbdbdhd

I know I took a pretty long time with this so I apologize! I hope you still like what I came up with!

Also damn that's one long ass title absbs

mentions of past kidnapping, Izumi being rude

Izumi with an s/o that's scared of him after finding out what he did to Makoto

You have been in a relationship with Izumi for a few months now, and even though he was often blunt or even rude to you, you knew that he truly loved you and only wanted the best for you, no matter what he said

Most of the time, you had been the affectionate one in the relationship, always wrapping your arms around him in a hug or planting a kiss on his cheek when he had to leave for practice. He would always grumble about how annoyingly sweet you were being but he not even once pushed you away

That is exactly why it came as a huge surprise to him when one day, you didn't come to give him his usual goodbye kiss. All he got was a sort of meek sounding farewell from the corner you were sitting in, barely even glancing at him

Izumi honestly grew quite frustrated at that but didn't want to admit he missed your usual affection. Time also wasn't on his side today so despite his concerns he had to leave so as not to be late. He would make sure to ask you about it when he got home though

The thought that something was wrong plagued him the entire knights practice session and it was very noticeable to his unitmates, seeing as he was even stricter than he usually was and lashing out more often. They too were worried for him but didn't dare say something after he once threw a nasty glare at Tsukasa when he had earnestly asked him

Izumi was very impatient on his way back home, just wanting to see you to know what's wrong. Because he knows there is. Even the past few days you had seemed more reluctant to be affectionate with him, hesitating before taking his hand when he offered it or not looking in his eyes when he was talking to you, instead nervously shifting your eyes back and forth

So when he got home, he practically slammed open the door, causing you to jump out of your seat in surprise at the sudden noise. A scowl made it's way across his face when your eyes once again looked everywhere but at him. With an annoyed sigh he made his way over to you, taking notice of how you shrank back from him when he sat down next to you

"So annoying. I'll cut right to the chase. Why are you avoiding me? And don't play dumb, I know you are"

You didn't know what to say then, it was written all over your face. You felt conflicted, not knowing how he would react when you told him. Scared even of how he would react

But with Izumi impatiently tapping his foot and his intense gaze on you, you knew you weren't going to get out of this one

So you told him what had happened

A few days ago, you met up with one of your best friends, Makoto. You two had known each other even before you got together with Izumi so you were surprised to hear that they knew each other

So when the conversation eventually shifted to your boyfriend, you had noticed that Makoto got a bit nervous and awkward. Concerned for your friend of course, you asked him what was wrong

And then he told you. About the time Izumi had kidnapped Makoto and locked him up, completely isolating him from everyone. And about how scary the whole experience was, how scary Izumi was in that moment

You were absolutely appalled upon hearing this. Your boyfriend really did that? He kidnapped one of your friends and held them there against his will? That was crazy to think about! But from how Makoto's voice was slightly shaking as he told the story, you knew he wasn't lying. Not that he would be someone to lie to you anyway

But it still felt so unreal. You knew Izumi had his oddities, but this? If you were being honest, this new information really shocked you to your core. It made you scared of him, scared of your own boyfriend. You wondered if he would ever do something like that to you as well. Just the thought of it made you shiver

Noticing your shaken state, Makoto had tried to placate you, telling you that he would never do something like that to you because he loves you but there's nothing really he can do

And that was the reason why you had been so avoidant recently with your boyfriend. You were scared

When you had finished your explanation and dared to look up from the ground again, Izumi had an unreadable expression on his face. There was complete silence for a few seconds before he finally spoke up

"So that's what was on your mind, huh? You idiot! You know you can tell me important things like that, right? Honestly, you're helpless."

Then he softened his tone of voice and continued after a deep sigh

"Y/n, I understand why you might be scared. It's something you would have never thought of me. It's been a long time since then and I have learned to be better now. I regret what I did back then and I know it wasn't the right thing to do. Believe me when I say... I've changed. And... I kind of like you so don't leave me, okay? You idiot wouldn't be able to take care of yourself on your own anyway.. "

And while his choice of words was once again quite rude, it was what you knew Izumi for and the little blush on his face told you everything you needed to know

With a small smile, you hesitantly leaned forward before wrapping your arms around your boyfriend, surprised when you feel him hug you back tightly, as if he was afraid you would leave at any second

You realized then that you felt the safest in Izumi's arms and that you would believe in him. He went through many changes but no matter what would happen, you would stay at his side

[sailor-cresselia]

Zi-O 21; both raw AND subbed~!

Advance Warning: I have never seen Ryuki, and it’s probably going to show. A lot, if only because I have no connection to whoever the Guest Characters are, and what any issues they bring in could mean. I’ve seen Marcosatsu’s History Of Ryuki though, so that should help a little. (three links, because he wound up doing it in three parts)

Starting off with watching the Raw!

BlackWoz’s Storytime Vault doesn’t have much to offer, aside from a worrying angle at the end.

I’m impressed by Uhr’s control with reversing the damage he’s doing to that mirror. Of course, he’s paying almost zero attention to Schwartz in the process, but there’s a method to his being a little brat this time.

He’s trying to get the attention of some guy in Ryuki’s mirror world.

Sounds like his idea is “So, my new candidate? He’s from another world. Remember how that Tsukasa guy traveled? It’s kinda like that, but not.”

(What was going on in Ryuki?! Also, how many endings is this going to make for that season? Because I seem to remember hearing that there’s like, five? At least?)

I like the touch with Another Ryuga’s name and year – they’re backwards, like you’d see in a mirror.

Sougo’s DEFINITELY using Gun Mode a lot more recently. I like it’s finisher with Double, though – it’s basically a smaller scale version of the CycloneTrigger Memory Break. … What was that one called? Ah, there it is. Trigger Aerobuster.

Names are important. I’m doing my best to get them right.

But it’s basically that, with purple shots in the center of the wind bursts.

… of course, it gets reflected right back at them, because MIRRORS, but still. Points for fighting at a distance, especially with that dragon arm – that was doing some damage, it looked like.

Geiz’s Drive armor is back! (I’ve missed the shift cars, so it’s nice to at least see Max Flare, Funky Spike, and Midnight Shadow’s tires again.)

But again, mirrors.

Tsukuyomi: So, you lost him?

Sougo: Well, yes, but also we had to help the injured construction worker.

Geiz: And everything got sent back at us, so…

blah blah, ‘whats the deal with the time jackers’ blah…

“What IS this Day of Oma you mentioned, anyway?” Good question, bud.

“Well, in our history, it’s the day that Oma Zi-O took over the world.” Geiz, I get that you’re upset. But. Um. What did you just do to that chessboard?

As far as I know, you’re not able to cause shockwaves. Not just by symbolically slamming a chess piece down. ...I don’t know anything about chess, but I’m assuming that piece is the Black King. Wiping out all of his opposition in one strike… along with all of his allies.

Sougo retaliates with “And the one WhiteWoz is from, says that you stopped that from happening.” He uses the White Knight to knock down the Black King, leaving the Knight alone on the board.

And then we have the Time Jackers, trying to get someone else altogether in charge. Black Bishop takes out the White Knight. The Time Jackers are from the same timeline as Tsukuyomi and Geiz, after all.

That day is when the world’s future is decided… ooh, ominous.

… drat, have to skip the next bit of exposition, but while they’re outside talking about… victims? I think?

I hear that same sound that heralded Geiz’s Time Mazine arriving back in Episode one.

Okay, so the victims are all connected to the magazine/journal/website from Ryuki? Makes sense.

Oh man, Shinji’s already dead?! Welp, that’s it, arc over, time to go home. (dusts off hands)

Hm. He covered up all the reflective surfaces – which would include windows and vents. Because Mirror World.

Of course, that poses a problem when you use a gas heater.

Okay, so at this point, while I was watching, Over-Time posted their subs. So I just got the script, went back to the beginning, and started over.

Well, at least BlackWoz is going along with the nicknames for now. I guess he understands the need for the distinction.

Hm. Schwartz seems to think that Geiz is going to be trying for the throne on the Day of Oma. But, sir, have you met this kid? Yes, yes you have, we’ve seen you interact with him. There is nearly no way that Geiz would ever want to be in charge.

...I say nearly, because time travel and predestination and all of that jazz. WhiteWoz is screwing with the kids head.

HUH. Uhr’s logic isn’t even “it’s kinda like that Decade guy”, he was specifically told about the Mirror World by Tsukasa. (insert a certain 10-year-old meme here.)

And what’s even more interesting than that… is that Schwartz didn’t know about the Mirror World.

And we’ve already seen that Schwartz can go to other timelines, as per when he created the Another Shinobi Watch.

Hm, looks like we’re in for another variation of ‘not the Another Rider you think he is’, aren’t we? Another Ryuga has the last portion of his name covered by what appear to be burnmarks. Much like how Another OOO’s year was cracked, so it could appear to be 2016 while actually being 2010.

Oh dear GOD they’ve been fighting Another Ryuga for a WEEK. He just keeps showing up and disappearing. (Because mirrors, not that they know that.)

“Why do they keep getting harder to fight?” Well, Sougo, it’s probably largely because we’re about out of Phase Twos, and the Earlier Heisei Riders were pretty brutal, from what I’ve heard. Plus, you keep getting teleporters involved, so that doesn’t help in the slightest.

Thank you for finally asking what the Day of Oma is, though.

(Low INT, high-ish WIS.)

“Well, what future do the two of you want?” Asks the noodle with a pretty decent Charisma stat. And neither Geiz or Tsukuyomi actually have an answer for him.

(Ow, my heart.)

Okay, all the victims followed Ore Journal online, but it has since gone completely under, since it just couldn’t keep up with the times.

I was right on the money about Shinji, though, he clearly knows full well about the reflection teleportation, and now so do The Kids.

GEIZ I UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO LIKE IT.

“Beat him in the time before the attack returns.” Because there’s a lag before the mirror shield shows up, so there’s a brief window of time. But an attack that would take it out that quickly would return just as powerful… directly at where it came from. Also known as the Rider who launched it.

And also also known as Geiz, if he gets his way.

Because a soldier who can’t defeat his enemies isn’t much of a soldier, now is he?

(Thanks a lot, eps 15 and 16. Thanks.)

Aaaand Uncle Tokiwa doesn’t actually know Woz’s name! All he could do for the Watch was clean it up… oooooh...

Sougo’s next powerup has an awful lot of that burnished gold on it. The same, or almost the same, tone as Oma Zi-O’s.

“Hello, my overlord~!” “Not. Now.”

Good boy, Sougo. And you even met this weeks tribute, and didn’t realize it!

I still don’t buy the “he doesn’t remember” thing, by the way, especially given the mirrored surfaces – how would he have known without having been Ryuki? Does he know about all the other victims? I don’t think you’ve actually talked to him yet. But I’ll let the memory ‘detail’ slide for now, since it looks like BlackWoz is actually being straightforward at the moment…

Aaand Sougo’s desperately trying to ignore him. Fair. Since that second Zi-O watch is tied to him becoming evil and all. Decent WIS stat, and also BlackWoz’s idea of ‘subtle’ is very much not so.

Meanwhile, with Geiz and Tsukuyomi… Yeah. He doesn’t plan to come out of this fight. Because what good is a soldier who can’t win?

And also, he, too, knows he is being stalked by his own personal Woz.

“What’s your end goal? If I come out on top, what’s your future like?”

“Just like this, a peace as if time has stopped.”

… Hi, yeah, not here for that phrasing at all, actually. Having just come out of HUGtto! Precure, wherein ‘stopping time so that despair can’t happen’ was kind of the villians whole thing, I’m trusting you even less than before.

Nothing can disturb the peace if nothing moves again, now can it?

But for Geiz and Tsukuyomi, literal veterans who have seen armies destroyed in the wave of an arm… they don’t have that frame of reference, now do they? They might just hear the “a time not unlike the one here” aspect.

“Hey, think I can use that notebook?”

“Nope, nuh-uh, OP reality warper powers are mine and mine alone.”

OOF. Right. Uhr contracted Mirror World Shinji, didn’t he? Which, of course, means that his existence is tied to Regular World Shinji’s existence. Can’t defeat the Another Rider? Take out his other link to living.

WhiteWoz and his “Obstacles are for killing” attitude does not sit well with Geiz.

“Hey, other me! You want revenge on that guy, right? The one who attacked you? Of course ya do! Why not!”

Meanwhile, Regular Shinji looks like he’s having thoughts along the lines of “I’m not going back to the belt! I’m out, man! I finished! I’ve finished like FIVE times already! Let me retire!”

Huh. The smudge over ‘Ryuga’ is gone. Neat. (aaand at which point I realized i’ve probably been spelling it wrong, and went back to fix all the places I used two ‘u’s on instinct.)

Clever, clever Uhr. “You can’t get a watch from a person who never existed, from a world that no longer ever was.”

...well, Schwartz could go to alternate timelines, so… Hey, Geiz, Tsukuyomi, Sougo, did any of you happen to get Tsukasa’s contact info?

Also, Tsukasa, did you have to clue the Time Jackers in on the ‘other worlds’ thing? I’m just saying, that might come back to bite you.

You are coming back, right? You don’t get to drop cryptic ‘I’m destroying this world first’ comments, and give tips to the assorted groups, and then just never come back.

It’s rude.

We need some sort of follow-through on this stuff, at least.

Geiz attempts his suicide attack… but Sougo knocks him out of the kick before he can gain momentum…

“I’m not letting you die, damnit! You still need to make sure I don’t go evil, and I’m definitely tempted by this watch right now...”

and then said watch doesn’t even try to activate.

Aaaand then Sougo gets wrestled into the Mirror World.

(Isn’t that place supposed to be super fatal if you don’t have an Advent Deck?)

Aaaah! The backwards writing, and the fact that some of it is glitching is bad enough. But the lack of sound? Nope, I’m not here for that at all. That’s never a good sign.

Although Kudos to O-T for getting the subtitles for some of those signs. Well done.

So, yeah, sorry Sougo, it’s not 3-Days-From-Now You this time. (But seriously, what happened to him?) This time it’s Evil You.

Not even 50-Years-From-Now Bad-Ending Evil You.

We’re talking a “Terran Empire Enterprise” type of Evil You. … well, at least he doesn’t have a goatee.

OH GOD AAAAGH GO BACK TO SILENCE PLEASE

Distorted belt effects are not okay! Agh! NononoNO!

Oh, and uh... Hey! Remember literally yesterday? When I said I’m loving the ‘parallel self’ juxtapositions that Zi-O’s been doing?

I should probably have remembered that the Ryuki tribute was next, and that I’ve seen the preview screenshots with Mirror Sougo being super creepy.

I may have changed my mind a bit on that juxtaposition love.

MISTAKES WERE MADE.

[imagineyourstars]

Since the Halloween season is upon us, could you do a scenario where producer and knights go to a haunted house for Halloween?, I also really love all that you guys do!!

happy halloween everyone !! there are more halloween requests to come after that one by the way ! i wrote it as Knights going to a haunted house as a group rather than individually, so it turned out pretty long ! (also this was a real haunted house rather than a fake one ?) it’s a bit ship-tease-y but still rather platonic and friendly, so i hope you still like it !! (it was super fun to write too !!) - mod mademoiselle

The evening was foggy, cloudy and gloomy : a perfect Halloween night. Even with all the fog, the huge house on the hill could be spotted froma distance. The environs were eerilysilent, at least before you arrived. The decidedly creepy atmosphere was kindaruined by Leo, who was singing happily and hopping towards the ominous mansion.

“Trick or treat, trick or treat,gimme something good to eat~ ! If you don’t, I don’t care, I’ll show you myBUT—”

“Oh my, Leo sure is in high spiritstoday !” You suspected Arashi to have raised his voice at that exact moment onpurpose. Especially with how triumphantly he glared at Leo, proud to haveruined his little moment.

“He’s always like that. Whenever hehas a terrible idea, he gets fired up. Seriously, how annoying…” Izumi fakedan afflicted sigh, but you knew full well that glimmer in his eyes. He wasprobably more than happy to have to be the reliable big brother of the bunch tonight, andwas dutifully carrying all the candy you’d gotten from neighbors. Or maybethat was to avoid Tsukasa eating all of them while no one was looking. Whoknew.

“What are you talking about ? I think thisis a pretty good idea too… ~” Ritsu seemed strangely fired up as well, andchuckled when he noticed you eyeing him with a smile. His eyes were glinting happily, and hewas even humming faintly to himself. A small and polite cough suddenly drew yourattention to Tsukasa, who was walking behind everyone else, and lookedobviously troubled.

“With all due respect, I do not thinkso. This house has obviously been abandoned for a long time. I believe noone will answer even if we ring. Isn’t this merely a loss of time ?” Well, hewas right. The closer you were getting to the mansion, the more glaring itsstate of disrepair became. The garden was unkempt, wild herbs growing as theypleased. The dog house was in ruins, some of the windows had been nailed shut and… were those huge holes in the roof ?

“Oh my, he’s right.” Arashi’s handinstinctively flew to his mouth as he was evaluating the damage in theproperty. Leo barely even touched the mailbox, which was covered in cobwebs, and it fellto the floor with a worrying squeaking noise.

“Maybe the person living here justhas eccentric tastes… It doesn’t look that bad.” Ritsu was admiring the crowperched on a dead tree’s branch, mouth pursed in a tiny appreciating pout. Hedidn’t look out of place here at all…

“Come on, there’s no candy here.Let’s just go back to the city center”, Izumi asserted, as he tried to take a holdof Leo’s arm to drag him along with the rest of the group. But before he couldso much as touch him, the latter jumped above the rusted gate and ran towardsthe mansion’s door, drawing his tongue at Izumi.

“I saw a light in there ! There’ssomeone inside !” Leo gestured for everyone else to join him, but no one somuch as took a step towards him. Especially not Tsukasa, who actually took astep backwards.

“Leader, you can’t be serious… Wecan’t ring here. If you would just come back already…” It was subtle, butTsukasa’s voice was trembling slightly. He seemed paler than usual too. Andthere was the way he was hiding slightly behind Izumi… You bit your lip torefrain a smile at the thought he was scared of that abandoned house.

“Just come back, would you, Leo-chan?Poor little Tsukasa-chan’s scared…” Arashi’s intervention made Tsukasa’s entireface sour immediately.

“I am not scared, I’m just… cautious.That is all.” Was he pouting ? How cute…

“I bet there’s no doorbell here anyway”, Ritsu commented airily. Strangely enough, this thought seemed to makehim even more enthusiastic than he already was.

“There’s not ! But I’m gonna knock !If you guys don’t come, I’m gonna take all the candy !” Leo chirped.

“Don’t ! Leader, what if—” Izumi’svoice cut Tsukasa’s panicked plea short.

“Leo, come back here now. You’rejust wasting everyone’s time.” Leo shot a bright grin to Izumi before knockingon the door. Izumi just sighed, massaging his temples, as the ginger bangedenthusiastically on the door.

“Open up ! We know what you did !We’ll call the police !” he chirped, banging louder with each passing second.By now, Izumi’s entire face was hidden in his hands.

“What’s with that character he madeup… Did we shift from a horror movie to a police procedural…” Ritsu feignedaffliction, but the corners of his lips were tugging in a small smile. Youcould tell he was fighting the urge to go join Leo with all his might.

“I do not know, but this isridiculous. As Sena-senpai mentioned, we are losing time.” Tsukasa was nowstanding a good ten feet away from the mansion’s gate, eager to just get awayfrom here. With a sigh, Izumi eventually climbed up the gate in his turn to gograb Leo and bring him back by force.

“Come on, stop banging on that door! What are you, a child ? No, don’t answer to that”, he added in a hurry, as Leo’s mouthwas already opening. “Just let go of that handle—”

“Izumi, lemme go ! I don’t wanna— Ah!” Leo suddenly let go of the handle, wincing in pain, as if it had just burnedhim. Izumi was about to sermon him, but his face got a shade paler when helooked up at the door.

“Leo, are you alright ?” Arashigracefully jumped over the fence, rushing to see what happened. “Isthere something— Oh my… Did this… Did you do it, Leo ?” Leo just shookhis head fervently, looking shocked himself.

“What happened… ?” Tsukasa regretfullycame back towards the gate, hiding behind you without noticing.

Ritsu’s eyes were bright as he spoke. “The door opened by itself… Lookslike we’re getting to see the inside of this house.” 

Tsukasa’s audible gulp almostechoed in the heavy silence.

The inside of the house was just asunkempt as its façade suggested. The furniture was dusty, the air stale andheavy, the floor’s planks creaking with every step. There was this weird,almost palpable tension too. Or maybe this was just because of Tsukasa’sconstant shivering.

“Y-You can hold my hand if you’rescared.” He tried to look gentlemanly even as his lips were slowly turningblue, gallantly offering a trembling hand to you. You mostly took it out ofpity for him, gently squeezing his fingers in yours in a gesture that obviouslycalmed him down a bit.

“Don’t worry, nothing’s going tohappen…” You didn’t know if he even believed you, but the important thingwas that he nodded fervently.

“Yes, you are right… This is not one ofthose horror movies where— Gyah ?!” He suddenly squealed and rushed in yourarms, hiding his face in your neck. The culprit of his sudden outburst was acertain self-proclaimed vampire, who was visibly very much enjoying the effectsof his little joke. Ritsu was cackling, even wiping away a stray tear atTsukasa’s undignified reaction.

“You’re the best, Suu-chan… I just hid and pinched your leg, but youcried out like a little girl…~”

Tsukasa’s cheeks blushed profusely and he immediately turned away,furiously stomping down the hallway. Ritsu was still chuckling, getting out ofhis hiding place and removing the worst of the dust and cobwebs from hisclothes. You were intent on getting away from him before he played a trick onyou as well, but he grabbed your wrist and drew you to him instead.

“Be careful, alright… ? Monsters are out tonight, and they bite.” Trueto his words, he let his lips wander on your neck for just a moment, and youfaintly felt his teeth drag along your skin… And then he was away again,gesturing for you to go and join a sulking Tsukasa with an ominous smirk. Youdidn’t have to be told twice and hurried along the hallway, completely ignoringthe huge portrait depicting the six of you on the wall to your left.

Izumi was leading the team, lightingup the dusty rooms with his phone. Arashi was cowering behind him, wincingevery time something moved suddenly or made some noise.

“Come on, there’s nothing here…Let’s just go back, a-alright ?” The sudden noise of the door to the kitchenopening startled him, but he looked relieved to see it was just you joiningthem.  “Ah, you’re here ! Where are theothers ?”

“In the hallway, having fun”, youreplied, barely restraining a smile when you heard Tsukasa squealing again. Nodoubt he fell victim to Ritsu’s pranks once more.

“Well, I can’t say we’re having funhere. He is, though.” Izumi gesturedto Leo, who was searching in every drawer and cupboard with passion. Hesuddenly gasped, causing Izumi to rush to him in a panic. “What’s wrong—”

“I found a super moldy plate ! Lookat that, Izumi ! I bet it’s been growing for, like, years !” Leo wasstarry-eyed, admiring his discovery with the pride of an archeologist whofinally found the rare fossil he’d been hunting for months. Or maybe that of afather holding his newborn child. You weren’t too sure. Izumi just gagged,turning away. He was visibly not impressed by Leo’s talents as an archeologist.

“Ugh, get this thing away from me…When you stop being a baby, tell us. It’s getting cold and late, and we shoulddefinitely go home—” Leo gasped again, jumping happily on place at his newdiscovery, and Izumi rolled his eyes. “What now ?”

“Look, look ! It’s the first time I’veever seen worms in a fridge !” Izumi and Arashi, who’d been curiously leaninginto the fridge to confirm Leo’s latest finding, turned away immediately.

“Oh my gosh, I feel like throwing upnow.” Arashi went out of the room in a flash, paler than you’d ever seen him.Izumi just breathed in slowly, running a hand through his hair.

“Seriously… Let’s just get out ofhere before we find something really disturbing— Oh fuck, where did you evenfind this ?” Leo was now holding what looked like spoiled meat and examined itcuriously.

“In the fridge ! It was in acontainer labeled ‘Teresa’… Hey, give Teresa back !” Izumi had ripped the meat(was it even meat ?) from Leo’s hand and threw it in the sink, holding backgags. “Izumiii ! Give her back !” Leo whined as Izumi dragged him to the sink,retrieving an almost-empty bottle of dishwashing soap.

“This is gross. Wash your hands,now, or else you’ll get sick.” Leo pouted but complied, and Izumi freneticallyrubbed his own hand (up to his wrist) in soap… until you interrupted their frantic washing.

“Wait… Why is there running waterhere ? I thought this place was abandoned ?” Izumi stopped at your thoughtful remark,eyebrows knitting.

“… You’re right, actually. The poweris cut off, though.”

“Oh no, the fridge is definitelyrunning”, Leo commented absent-mindedly. Izumi stared at him until he stoppeddrying his hands in a forgotten dishcloth. “Why are you looking at me like that… ?You’re scary, Izumi.”

“You’re the scary one ! We’re in anabandoned house and you don’t think it’s weird that the fridge is running ?!”Leo just shrugged, causing Izumi to let lose. “Don’t just shrug at me ! Do youeven have a brain inside that pretty head of yours ?”

“Aw, thanks Izumi. You don’t looktoo bad either, you know that ? You too”, he added to you with what wassupposed to be a seductive wink, but came out as the desperation of someone whohas something stuck in their eye. Fortunately, neither you or Izumi had toanswer anything to this, as the door to the kitchen opened and a very satisfiedRitsu peered into the room from the hallway.

“Oh, you’re there… What are youdoing together in the dark ?” He didn’t pay any attentionto your explanations and smirked instead, gesturing to the hallway. “Nacchanand Suu-chan are getting real scared… I’m having a lot of fun, but I’m thinkingone of them may have a heart attack anytime by now, soooo… maybe we should goback home soon ?”

Leo just whined in protest as Izumidragged him out of that kitchen. “He’s right. Let’s go home before you get acrazy idea again—” And Leo was gone with an audible gasp once more, running offinto the darkness before anyone could catch him. You and Izumi just exchanged ameaningful look, before he sighed deeply. “Let’s just go look for him. He’s adumbass, so he may hurt himself doing something stupid.”

You jumped up when somethingsuddenly brushed against your arm, but it was just Izumi’s hand, even as he wasdeterminedly looking away. “Stay with me, alright ? I don’t want you gettinglost or something.” 

His eyes subtly widened when you caught his hand, gentlyholding it. “I won’t, promise”, you answered,low enough that only he could hear you. He smiled a bit, his features softeningimperceptibly as his eyes fell on your face.

“Good.” That’s all he said, but his fingers intertwining with yours toldanother story entirely.

“This is definitely going to break… I don’t want to get hurt, guys !” Arashi was grimacing with each step hetook on the creaking staircase, even as Izumi rolled his eyes.

“Nothing else broke, so I’m guessingit’s not going to break either. Just go upalready. The less time we spend in here, the better I’ll feel.” He graciouslyoffered his hand to you as you climbed the stairs together, and you had toadmit you did need it to balance yourself. There were no railings on that thing,and the wood was creaking dangerously…

“I’ll go next”, Ritsu hurriedlysaid, climbing right after you. Tsukasa raised an eyebrow but let him go, thatis, until he understood his hidden motive.

“Wh-Where are you looking ? Don’tlay such eyes on them ! This is unbefitting of a knight !” Ritsu just smirkedat Tsukasa’s embarrassment, seemingly not a bit flustered.

“The view’s the best in stairs,y’know. You’re missing out on a lot, Suu-chan ‘Goody Two-Shoes’.” 

Tsukasa andRitsu kept bickering (playfully on Ritsu’s part, not so much so for Tsukasa) asyou, Arashi and Izumi were finally reaching the first floor after what seemedlike an endless staircase climb. Was the house even that big ? There definitelywere too many steps for it to be a normal first floor, right ? You started tosuspect that Tsukasa and Ritsu were talking about you, as you heard your namebeing dropped several times, but you had more pressing matters to worry about.Namely, Leo was still missing.

“Leo ? Where are you ? Can we gohome yet… ?” Arashi was getting crankier with each creepy discovery, andhonestly you couldn’t blame him. This house looked like a very realistic horrormovie set, and you weren’t sure you wanted to explore all of it.

“Leo, we’re leaving without you if youdon’t ans— what are you doing on the floor ?! I almost stepped on you !” Ah,sounded like Izumi had found him. You and Arashi abandoned your investigationof what looked like a storage room to go back to the end of the hallway, whereLeo seemed to be… writing a song ?

“Can’t you see ? I’m writing ! Nowshoo, you’re disturbing me !” You honestly wouldn’t have minded Leowriting a song on the floor, if only he wasn’t writing in something that lookedlike…

“Blood… ? Where did you find that ?Did you get hurt ? What happened ?” Izumi was now examining Leo’s entire bodyin a panic, while the latter just obediently let him do as he pleased and keptwriting his masterpiece with the tip of his bloodied finger on the floor.

“Did I hear blood… ? I’m here… What’swrong ?” Ritsu had appeared out of nowhere (you suspected he was hiding in theshadows to scare you again), licking his lips. Izumi barely even paid attentionto him, busy as he was rummaging through his pockets to find something he couldstop the blood flow with.

“This dumbass hurt himself. I knewsomething like that was bound to happen.” Well, he said that but he looked moreworried than you’d ever seen him. Leo just raised an eyebrow, shooting him aninquisitive glance.

“Did I ? I found that blood on thewall, though. Look, it’s gushing from a hole ! Funny, right ?” Izumi lookedliterally anything but amused, and you and Ritsu had to seriously stop anincoming nervous bout of laughter. No doubt Izumi would have killed the threeof you if you hadn’t.

“I can’t. I’m… I need a break.”Izumi just wobbled away, furiously massaging his temples. You and Ritsu crouched near the wall, examining the strange blood flow. It didn’t look exactly likeblood to you, now that you were closer to it…

“Isn’t it a bit too… thick ? Itlooks like the fake blood you can get in stores”, you commented. Ritsu noddedpensively, tilting his head on the side as he was thinking.

“It does, yeah… but then again,coagulation can do that too.” The black-haired boy paused a moment, then slowlyparted his lips again, eyes suddenly lighting up with his new idea. “Guess onlytasting it will bring answers…” You caught his hand before he could tryanything any of you would regret.

“Can’t let you taste blood gushingfrom a wall in a weird house, sorry. Izumi would choke me.”

“Always knew he was a kinky littlething”, Ritsu remarked airily, prompting you to roll your eyes.

“To death, I meant.”

“I don’t know, that’s kinda hot too,to me…” Before you and Ritsu could hold a serious debate over the matter, Leo’seyes shot daggers to you.

“I said shoo ! You’re seriouslydisrapping my concentration !”

“Didn’t you mean ‘disrupted’ ?”Ritsu lazily corrected, getting up again. The glare Leo threw him was seriouslyscary.

“Wow, congrats, you can spell. Now just go away, I’m writing !” Ritsujust mumbled a rather unconvinced ‘yeah’ before he took you away. You couldhear loud voices from the last room on the first floor, and it looked likeRitsu didn’t want to miss any of the fun.

“Can’t you just put that down ? Whatif, like, the owner of the house decides to curse us because we messed withtheir stuff… ?” Arashi was still hiding behind Izumi, whose sole function wasnow to light up the room.

“That would suck. But you know whatwould suck more ? Getting out of here without knowing anything about whatreally happened”, Ritsu answered as he was busy rummaging through the drawersof the nightstand.

Seeing he was going to stay at itfor a while, Tsukasa sat on the huge bed reluctantly, but got up immediately whena cloud of dust rose from the bedsheets.

“Just get this over with and let’sgo home. I’m tired of this all.” True to his words, Izumi did look like he wason the verge of a nervous breakdown.

“Yeah, yeah, got it. Let me justlook on the desk as well…” Ritsu was the only one who seemed to still be havingfun. Well, there was Leo too, but he was still writing on the floor in thehallway. Tsukasa was carefully looking at the antique dolls exposed on top of a dresser, andshyly tugged on your hand when he noticed one of them in particular.

“Don’t you think this doll looks abit like you ?” He whispered in your ear, causing Izumi’s eyebrows to knit ashe noticed the two of you standing so awfully close to each other.

You carefully looked the doll over,and sure enough, everything about it was fairly close to how you looked like.The hair was perfectly identical to yours, its face as well… Well, there werejust its eyes that were disturbingly lacking. As in, the sockets were plainempty.

“It does, but I’m not sure thatmakes me happy”, you answered with a small grimace. Visibly worried you’d feeluncomfortable, Tsukasa motioned to hug you but ultimately changed strategiesand briefly stroked the back of your hand with his thumb in a soothing motion.As subtle as the gesture was, it still caught Izumi’s inquisitive eye.

“We will get out of here very soon.Let’s just hold on a little bit more.” You nodded to his reassuring words, beforeRitsu’s pleased exclamation drew your attention.

“I found a diary… That’s what youget for looking thoroughly everywhere.” He looked mighty pleased with himself,and even more so when Izumi came examining the desk.

“Where did you even find it ?” Izumigroaned, and Ritsu hummed mysteriously in response.

“There was a fake bottom in the lastdrawer, and it was hidden inside… Shall I read it ?” Arashi fervently shook hishead, already motioning to the door.

“Ritsu-chan, I don’t think this is agood idea—”

“Sure, why not ?” Izumi answered,shrugging. Arashi looked at him like he’d gone completely mad, and so Izumi rolledhis eyes, explaining himself. “By now, we’re pretty much fucked anyway.”

Tsukasa’s hand found yours again,just after you’d let him go. “Don’t be afraid, I’m—” He caught Izumi’s deathglare and cleared his throat, immediately correcting himself. “We’re all herewith you.”

“I’m reading it then… Let’s justpick a random page.” Ritsu ceremoniously opened the diary, assessing hisaudience with a serious look before he gravely started to speak. “… She gaspedin delight, fingers grasping the sheets as her mind went blank. ‘Harder !’ shemoaned, as her muscular lover groaned above her. ‘You’re so tight’, he hissed,gazing down at her lovingly. She felt his hard—” Arashi rushed to Tsukasa tocover his ears, much to his annoyance.

“Just— Stop please. I don’t wannaknow what’s in there anymore.” Izumi was trying his best to look unaffected,but the tips of his ears were turning dark pink. Ritsu pouted a bit,regretfully eyeing the book’s next few pages.

“Eh… I kinda wanted to know whathappens next though…” Izumi’s glare prompted him to snicker. “Alright, alright,that was just something I made up. I’m really reading it this time.”

“Wait, you mean—” Arashiinterrupted, eyes wide, but Ritsu ignored him and started to read again.

“October 31st. Hey,that’s today”, he mentioned, but Izumi sighed.

“Just keep to the text, please.”Ritsu rolled his eyes at his interruption.

“Okay, okay. So, October 31st.Lots of lovely children are running about, tonight. I can see six of them headingtowards here. Maybe it is finally time.” Ritsu fell silent, and the atmospherejust froze.

“Did you make that up again ?”Tsukasa hesitantly asked, as Arashi was holding his breath.

“No, it’s all written here.” Izumididn’t seem to believe Ritsu, as he rushed to him and grabbed the small diaryfrom his hands forcefully. What he saw apparently shocked him enough to put thebook away with trembling hands. Arashi’s hands immediately flew to his mouthagain.

“What, Izumi-chan, is it true… ?”Izumi didn’t answer, and you faintly felt your breath hitch in your throat whenhis eyes fell on you again. He looked afraid, an emotion you’d never seen onhim until now.

“Let’s— Let’s get the fuck out ofhere. Now.” No one even questioned him, and you all rushed outside the room,almost fighting to get to the stairs first. Leo just watched you pass by himwith a confused smile.

“Where are you going right now ? Isaw something great while you were all busy ! Some grandpa came to tell methat— Ow, Izumi, that hurts… !” Izumi just ignored his complaints and draggedhim down the stairs with him, probably breaking one or two of his bones in theprocess.

“Shut up and follow us ! This is why you should listen to us when wetell you something’s a bad idea !” Leo’s whining could still be heard withinthe house, even as you all rushed outside,sprinting to the civilization with all your might.

A certain someone was stillsnickering behind the “haunted mansion” ‘s door, holding a cellphone in hand.

“Nii-san… ? Yes, I made sure to captureit all on video. I’m sure that will make for a rather interesting show. Let’sjust sell it to some TV station. With how popular they are, that should makefor a good prize.” His voice stopped a moment, as he listened intently to thevoice at the other line. “The young producer, you say ? You’ll have to thankthem for their help. If it weren’t for them, this would all have been ruined.” He paused a moment, lips pursing in a satisfied smirk, before his tongue briefly darted over them.

“Oh, don’t you worry, I’ll make surelittle kitten is thoroughly rewarded for their precious help…”

Ensemble Stars Event: Sweet & Bitter Chapter 7 Translation

Tomoya and the rest of knights spent a leisure time in the studio until Leo suddenly proposed something.

My summary is just getting worse...

Tomoya: Ahaha. I am being discharged just after I came here. Staying for too long sure is no good, but I am free at the moment.

Leo: No~ you already came all the way here, so you may as well drink some tea.

Not to mention I've stayed too long outside, so my body became cold. Suo~ and Shiro are cold too, right? Give me some warm green tea, normal tea is also alright~♪

Ritsu: *yawn*....♪ Ah~... it's "Ou-sama". Since you haven't came for a long time, I put my head inside the kotatsu and took the warmth.

Tsukasa: You're being like that again, huh. I've told you it's not good for your health.

Now, at the very least, please pull out your face.  what if you suffocate there?

Ritsu: Uh~.... don't scold me. I've had enou~gh of Secchan's scolding.

What do we have as tea snacks? If it's rice crackers, we'll go with green tea, but if we have cookie or choco, normal tea would be good.

Arashi: If that so, I'll prepare normal tea.

I think I've already told everyone, but Mao-chan asked me to teach "Trickstar" and "Ra*bits" how to make chocolate in the afternoon.

I was there only as a teacher, see. I am fine with making chocolate and all, but I am having a trouble in disposing it.

"Knights" is supposed to make different chocolate, see.

There is a limitation as to how much you can take sweets, you know. It's no good even when you already made your debut, see, it's not beautiful.

That is why, it will be ve~ry helpful if everyone eats it♪ and since I made it myself, I can guarantee the taste♪

Tomoya: Ummm, Narukami-senpai!

Arashi: Oh my, why is it? Ufufu, are you nervous? It's alright, cutie rabbit-san. I'll give you lots♪

Tomoya: Ah, no, I am not nervous or something... You know that we were late in the afternoon, right? I want to apologize for that.

Narukami-senpai, we apologize for being late that time!

Arashi: Well, you sure are polite, aren't you? Besides, you've proper~ly told me in advance, so don't mind it, okay?

Nonetheless, you're really splendid for admitting you own mistake. Tomoya-chan, why don't you sit next to me? Come here, come here, let onee-chan stroke your head♪

Tomoya: Ah, thank you, I guess....?

Leo: Ugh. Naru has taken Shiro for himself, hasn't he? Should I just make it do with Suo~?

Ah~ so warm. Hmm hmm. Body warmth is just as good as home heater♪

Tsukasa: Wai, can you not use me as your home heater?

I was also outside with Leader, see, so my body is not warm, you know.

Leo: That's not it~ Children have high body temperature, don't they? Even one would feel warm while hugging animals.

They can defeat the cold weather with such small bodies. Animals sure are strong, see~

Take a look, Suo~. that Sena, he is taking care of the cat so briskly. He was complaining and all, but he's ended up doing the work.

I mean, looking at how happy he is makes me jealous.

Izumi: ~....♪

You sure eat well, huh. Are you really hungry or what? Don't hold back, eat a lot. We don't have cat food, see, so I am giving you food that will be alright for you to eat.

Eat well, then take a sleep. You have to be healthy. Even if you have an excellent lineage, it'll really be a waste if you get sick easily.

What is~it, even if you do not cling onto me, I will still take care of you, you know. I will take a really good care of you.

Yes yes, I give up....♪

Tsukasa: It's good that we entrust Choco-san's caretaker job to Sena-senpai, isn't it? Well, Sena-senpai is good at taking care of someone in general.

Choco-san, too, is fond of Sena-senpai. I can say that they have good relationship.

Leo: Hmm hmm. Kind-hearted blood sure is flowing in him.

Everyone in "Knights" likes to do things as they please, so as the older one, I have to be reliable. I guess he shows off that kind of feeling?

Tsukasa: Leader is also the most senior one here, see, please learn to be calmer, okay?

I won't tell you to keep quiet, but please do not go anywhere when I take my eyes off you.

Whenever I see Leader fallen flat in the ground, I think my heart is going to stop.

I know that you're just too focused in your composition, but I would like you to refrain from making such misleading posture.

Leo: I get it, I get it. Even if you say those kind of things to me, I'll only get confused, you know?

I am not a composition genius nor Prince Shotoku, see, I'll get overheated if I process it all at once!

Let's just chilling out and drink some tea, okay~ Wahaha, Rittsu is not only good at making sweets but also tea, huh.

Green tea is good and all, but normal tea also seeps into every fiber of my being~♪

Ritsu: I am a member of tea ceremony club, you know, if I serve you unappetizing tea, it'll be a disgrace to tea ceremony club.

Is Tomoya-kun the type who put milk in his tea? There's also sugar, see, so do as you like~

Tsukasa: Umm, Ritsu-senpai? I am not Mashiro-kun. Are you still half asleep?

Ritsu: Ah~... I won't deny that one. Even so, I want you to praise me for making such delicious tea while hiding my sleepiness.

But when I look again, Su~chan and Tomoya-kun are about the same height, huh. I mean, both of you? stand together side by side.

.....Yeah, it's almost the same. By the way, you two, what's your height?

Tsukasa: Umm, when they held physical measurement in April, I think it is 167 centimeter.

Tomoya: Ah, me too. Suou is also 167 cm, huh. It's almost been a year since then, though; maybe I get a little taller now.

It's not like I am growing drastically, though. I mean, even now, I think my height is not that different with Suou.

Leo: Shiro, are you interested in "Knights"' outfit?

Tomoya: Eh? A, ah, "Knights" outfit sure not only shows a chivalry "unit" feeling but also looks cool.

I am a guy too, after all. I want to wear a cool outifit like "Knights"'.

Leo: Well said. Okay, let's do outfit swap, Suo~ Bring your own "Knights" outfit....☆

[imagineyourstars]

Heyo! Can I request a matchup? I'm around 156cm tall, with short pastel pink-orange hair and light blue eyes. I'm awkward around new people, but I open up fast. Bad at eye contact. I tend to space out a lot. Laid back, but embarrassed easily! my face turns really red! I love making bad puns, laugh a lot, and tend to tease people close to me. I'm super self-conscious and stubborn,, I tend to hide my emotions, to not trouble others. Very clumsy, a destructive cook, and gets lost easily. Thanks!

Here comes thematchup ! aaah what a cute description ! also, welcome to my“Dyed-Haired Tenkousei” club ! *high five* i hope you’ll like it ! - mod mademoiselle

Your match is Leo Tsukinaga !

You met Leo around the same time you had to meet all the unit leadersin Yumenosaki, as the producer. You’d have to be friendly with them,after all ! Everyone seemed reliable enough, so when you heard ofKnights, you automatically thought their leader would be the bossy,cool and elegant type. Wrong. All wrong. You were there, facing anecstatic boy who claimed he’d just been abducted by aliens and couldstill “hear their vibrations”, whatever that was supposedto mean. (The truth is, he was knocked out cold by a tired Izumi.)

You really struck him as someone unique, when you two first met.He’d met tons of assistants and fans before, but you really standout. First of all, thanks to your bright hair. Truth be told, heprobably remembered you as “that fairy girl with pastel hair”.Yeah, he’s not very good with names. You surprised him a second time,though, when you offered to go back home with him. You quicklylearned the members of Knights have a tendency to take turns bringingLeo back home, just in case he’d get bright ideas and decide to hidein the school all night long. Leo was chirping happily, and you werelistening, finding yourself to already be at ease around thispeculiar boy. That is, until you realized you were completely,helplessly lost. And his sense of orientation is as bad as yours. Youtried to find your way back home, but only succeeded in getting evenmore lost when he decided to chase after a stray cat. In the end, youhad to call Izumi for him to come get you. He lectured you both anddecided you should never stay together with Leo without surveillance.

Your mutual friends, especially the Knights members, all agree inthat you and Leo share a similar… quirky vibe. You tend to spaceout a lot and they think you’re a bit ditzy ; on the other hand,Leo’s mind is a mystery no one can even claim to understand. Whentogether, you tend to suck away all the rationality in the room,which gives Tsukasa the shivers. Izumi calls you two “the commonsense black hole”. The truth is, you’re much more rational (andheck, even normal) than Leo, but as you love joking with him andteasing him, you often jump on the crazy bandwagon he seems to be thedriver of. Hey, nothing’s as funny as exploring the entire school tolook for clues about aliens ! Especially when you’re supposed to betraining. Expect another lecture from Izumi when you come back.

As much as Leo loves your laid-back, friendly and teasingpersonality, you two share a huge flaw : you tend to hide youremotions, especially to protect other people. I sure hope you don’tintend to make Leo admit how he really feels about you, because thisboy would be ready to jump out a window rather than be serious forone second. And as other people were also really close and friendlywith you, a few rumors about them having a not-so-secret crush on youspread in the school, you didn’t really want to admit that maybe youalso had just a tiny crush on Leo. Whenever he’d hold your handduring one of your explorations or treasure hunts, you’d always getreally embarrassed, butterflies in your stomach and all that. So, youhad to piece things together regarding how he felt about you. Forstarters, there were his songs : each new song would mention a“muse”, watching over a proud knights army and illuminatingthem with her grace and smile. Cheesy, right. Then, there are theother Knights members’ reaction every time Leo gets all clingy withyou, snuggling on the studio’s ground (yep, that’s right) andshouting how much he loves you. Arashi can’t help but giggle, Izumilooks like he’s feeling nauseous, Tsukasa just shivers violently andRitsu quietly flees the romantic atmosphere in the studio, as itdecidedly doesn’t fit his character.

You didn’t really know what to do about Leo, until big sis Arashicame to your rescue : expect him to prepare a full-fledged first datefor you two, and even a love confession script, to push yourrelationship in the right direction. Of course, Leo being Leo, thewhole date was a mess and he just did whatever he pleased. But thatwas a great first date all the same. Ignoring the whole script, youdecided to honestly confront him about his real, serious feelings,suspecting he might hide all that behind a happy-go-lucky facade. Andyou were damn right : he went quiet all of a sudden, bashfullyturning his eyes away from you. You had to confess your own feelingsfor him as he wouldn’t say anything, which prompted him to go rightback to his usual self. He even shouted something about you being hisinspiration, before cupping your face and loudly smooching you infront of everyone. Cue you getting really embarassed.

Dating Leo is truly a rollercoaster : you never know what’s going tohappen next. Sometimes it’s tiring, sometimes it’s energizing. Heshows a well-hidden sensitive side to you once in a while, and ashammy as he is, he’d do anything for you to be happy. You guys wouldbe so sweet together !

Other possible matches : Nazuna, Kanata, Tetora (in the mean time, please form an official “Kitchen Disaster” club with him)

Ensemble Stars Event: Sweet & Bitter Chapter 1 Translation

Another chapter from the latest enstars event o/ notes to A3 players, I am going to translate Azuma/Yuki cross backstage story, but if you have another cross backstage story unlocked beside the ones that I already posted (Itaru/Banri and Banri/Tsumugi) and would like to have it translated, just drop the ss on my ask o/ (link me to gdrive or something)

Tsukasa came to studio because knights is going to hold a meeting for the upcoming chocolat fest, but upon coming there, he was told that the meeting would be postponed until after school. Thus, he decided to linger around the studio until Leo came..

Tsukasa: Pardon my intrusion. Everyone must have gathered already, right....

Hyaa!?

Arashi: Ahn, I am sorry! Tsukasa-chan, you let out such a strange voice, are you injured somewhere?

Tsukasa: Ah, no. I was just surprised because Narukami-senpai suddenly jumped out of nowhere.

Today, "Knights" members are supposed to come to the strategy meeting for "Chocolat Fest", yes?

...Hm. But it seems like there aren't any other members beside Narukami-senpai and I in the studio.

Not to mention that I do not see Ritsu-senpai's figure under the kotatsu, do they forget about it? It is no good, I have to call the other members...

Ah, is that why Narukami-senpai seems to be in a hurry?

Arashi: That's not it, Tsukasa-chan. I actually forget that I have an important appointment, so I have to go to garden terrace's kitchen now.

Tsukasa: Hmm, that isn't like Narukami-senpai to have double appointment, yes? Do you have something on your mind when you agreed to that?

Since Narukami-senpai is also one whom I can depend on, if you are tired, please don't push yourself and just rest.

Arashi: Our baby is rather cheeky, isn't he? No worries, I am in perfect condition today.

I am just happy that some people asked me to teach them how to make chocolate that I ended up agreeing to one or two requests at the same time.

But when I checked my schedule book, I regret doing so.

I've already talked it out with the other "units" too, so it is impossible to refuse it as we've came to agreement.

Fortunately, I am only gonna teach "Ra*bits" and "Trickstar". I will use my lunch break time for that, so I am free after school.

I've sent an email saying that we should gather again and hold our strategy meeting until then, have you not received it?

Tsukasa: Please wait a moment. ....Ah, I've received it. I didn't notice that I got an email since I put my phone on silent mode.

I understand the situation now. You thought that you have sent the email to the others, but there may be some who do not notice it and go to the studio.

For that, I am going to remain here.

Arashi: I am truly sorry about that, okay?

....Oh my, the kids from "Ra*bits" sent me an email saying that they may be late.

Ufufu, if that so, maybe there's no need to hurry, right?

Just kidding, I don't get any email from "Trickstar", you see. I have to hurry and go after all.

Well then, Tsukasa-chan. See you again after school....♪

Tsukasa: Have a safe trip. I don't know if anyone will really come, but for now let's just kill time with eating.

Leo: Wahahahahaha.....✩

Tsukasa: Jesus Christ!

I am eating right now, so please be quiet!

Leo: So~rry. Rather, why are you so carefree?

We're here to hold a strategy meeting for the upcoming "Chocolat Fest", right? I thought I was back home because you're way too relax!

Well, Sena house sure is comfortable~ I couldn't help crawling under the kotatsu too. Ah~ so warm♪

Tsukasa: Please do not dive under the kotatsu as soon as you enter the studio... Unlike holidays, the air conditioning is working now, so your body probably will not get cold...

Hyaan!?

Wh-why is your body so cold!? Did you compose music outside again? or else, did you get lost?

In either case, I can't believe this. Please take better care of your body, and don't make me say the same thing over and over again everyday!

Leo: Don't get so worked up, Suou~ I don't really remember where the studio is, so I kinda get lost for a moment.

Tsukasa: I don't understand why are you keep getting lost even though this is not your first time here... well, but it is just like the usual.

I don't want to get used to this, but I ended up getting used to.

To begin with, I or someone else has always been searching for Leader, so the fact that Leader reached the studio without any problem is very pleasing to know.

And I am sorry to tell you this but apparently the strategy meeting was changed to after school. Because of that, you can just dismiss now.

Please come again after school.

Leo: Eh~... Just when I was very excited about thinking of strategy to crush down the enemy soldiers...

Isn't "Chocolat Fest" a kind of Dreamfest that determine who is Yumenosaki Academy's top idol by scattering the units who participate in it?

Tsukasa: Where did you get such information... That is absolutely wrong.

"Chocolat Fest" is a Dreamfest where you entertain the guests with handmade chocolate, songs, and dance.

Leader sure likes rough Dreamfest, doesn't he? But unfortunately, there won't be any Live showdown this time.

It's an indecisive, peaceful Dreamfest.

Well, but there is a fixed rule that you have to watch all participating "units"' live in order to get the handmade chocolate from idols.

That way, any "unit" live will surely be flooded with guests.

It is also possible for some unknown "unit" to not be able to display a satisfactory live in front of a large number of guests.

It can also be the other way around. In order to get the guests enthusiastic, we have to show them a more wonderful live than usual, and we can get new fans as well.

After us "knights" declared our come back as a veteran, we still continue to advance until now. Even without winning over new guests...

Nonetheless, we can't be too relax.

As long as we hold the position as one of the powerful "unit", we can't afford to fall below one's expectation.

We're still far from being solid, not to mention that idol industry is like a world where people can catch a weasel asleep.

That is why, let's try to acquire more fans. "Chocolat Fest" is our biggest "change" to do so.

Be it song, dance, or even handmade chocolate, we can't let it slip through our fingers...!

Leo: What's th~at, isn't it just like a war? In order for the guest to support us, we still have to rout the other guys, right?

Wahaha, leave it to me! Since war is my glory, this time too, let's do it easi~ly♪
