2 Years Ago, Mito.

???: Real lame, don’cha think?

???: He’s pathetic as a delinquent.

???: And equally pathetic when trying to play at being part of the Student Council.

???: …HAH?

???: We can’t seriously be tolerating this.

???: Probably.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: What, no one’s here again?

Sakuya: We’ve successfully held our concert, and we’ve even pasted our posters up at the Music Education department, yet we don’t seem to be getting any new members.

Hayate: The people in music ed aren’t like those in general ed. We don’t exactly have the time to go parading around with such a suspiciously shady Orchestra.

Sakuya: If so… then what does that make you, exactly…?

Tomoharu: Hahaha. He does have a point.

⊳ Choice: It’s not anything to be joking about

Tomoharu: Pfft- Sorry. I do suppose it’s bad to joke about this, considering our situation.

⊳ Choice: You’re completely open to jibes

Hayate: Wha- Is that how you treat someone who lends you a helping hand!?

Tomoharu: Hmm… But if that’s how it is, then I don’t think we’ll have much luck recruiting members in Seiso Academy.

Sakuya: Yeah. Maybe we should try appealing in a different place—

Ginga: Oh, you’re all gathered?

Ginga: Ready to head out? Plum, natto and history-rich streets await us all!

Kazuma: Do you remember Hashizumi-sensei, from the Mito Symphony Orchestra, who was in attendance for our concert?

Kazuma: She has graciously offered to introduce us to a place where we can hold our future concerts if any.

Tomoharu: Eh? We’re going to hold our next concert in Mito?

Sakuya: Isn’t that kinda far?

Ginga: Cease your chatter! Yeesh, you lot. For people who are aiming to go global, your worldview really is tiny!

Ginga: Isn’t Ibaraki just a moment away if you go by the Joban Expressway?

Hayate: Mito, huh? It would be great if we could get Osakabe-san to join us…

Hayate: He was the Trumpets’ leader from last year’s Starlight Orchestra.

Hayate: He won 4th place in the Brass Section of the Jr. Classical Music Concours just as he’d entered his first year in high school.

Hayate: We were in different sections, so I didn’t really get to interact much with him. But, he’s reliable and someone worthy of respect.

Ginga: Heh? He sounds like an amazing person. Alrighty then, let’s try our damndest to induct him into our ranks.

Hayate: If he’s willing to join the Starlight Orchestra again, then…

Hayate: Maybe there’s some helping this misfit of a Starlight Orchestra, as well as how messy this room is.

Ginga: Huh?

Hayate: I’m talking about this sloppy mess in here— Empty cup noodle cups, pet bottles, and that barely standing mountain of papers just piled together in a heap.

Hayate: He’s also the Student Council President of his school, and very neat about things. I’m sure he’ll put the right to things here.

Hayate: I’m seeing a glimmer of hope here, (L/n).

Ginga: I, on the other hand, am absolutely horrified…

Sakuya: Well, it works out for you too, doesn’t it?

Tomoharu: If we have brass instrument players joining us, that’ll also mean that we’ll be able to play a wider variety of songs.

⊳ Choice: Let’s head out to Mito then! 

Tomoharu: Yes! It’s going to be fun, don’t you think, senpai?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Nono: You’re going to Mito? That’s brilliant~!

Nono: That place is a noted place of connection of a really amazing Orchestra Conductor from Berlin ♪

Nono: I look forward to seeing the superb new members who’ll be joining us, Concertmistress!

Seiji: “Let’s hold another study session next time”? That Concertmistress sure has some sharp intuition.

Seiji: …Hm?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Feels odd to perform with you again like we did earlier…

Seiji: It’s been two years, hasn’t it?

Akira: We only have about half a year before we graduate from high school. It’ll pass in the blink of an eye.

Tomoeda: President Osakabe, please come to the Student Council Room immediately. Saito-sensei’s here regarding the activity report and-

Akira: You’re being summoned. Looks like you don’t have the time to be standin’ around talkin’. Good luck with your job, student council president.

Seiji: I don’t have it as hard as you do, Boss.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Yasu: KIRIGAYA-SAN!!! SOMETHIN’ BAD HAPPENED AGAIN!!!

Seiji: And lookie here, you’re being summoned as well. Looks like we’ll both have to work hard today.

Akira: Well, looks like we both have our hands tied today. I’ll be leavin’ first then.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Good work today, Concertmistress. Why do you look so out of it? Are ya’ hungry or somethin’?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: There’s no reason for you to hide it from me. That gloomy look on your face is as plain as day.

Akira: …It’ll be alright. You’ve seen it for yourself. You don’t have to force Osakabe and me to be friends with each other. We can still perform well together regardless.

Akira: Just like that video you saw.

Akira: Although, I’m aware that we may have been a handful. Sorry ‘bout that.

Akira: But that guy has his reason for being an honor student. He has to be.

Akira: Not like he can be a bad boy like me, anyway.

⊳ Choice: What if you changed for the better…?

Akira: If you force me to? I can keep up the act for ‘bout three days before the show’s over.

⊳ Choice: He has to be?

Akira: You’re really pressin’ me for answers, huh. Though, I think that’s not somethin’ I should be sharin’. It’s his story to tell, so you’ll have to hear it from him.

Akira: Well, just take it as the delinquent havin’ a fight with the strict student council president, and let’s leave it at that.

Akira: And what happens after the Starlight Orchestra Concert is over? Well, I s’pose we’ll be back to the usual status quo.

Akira: It would be weird if I got him to perform with me without any good reason.

Akira: I guess we were just a dream unit about two years ago.

Yasu: B-Boss! Somethin’ bad has happened! Somethin’ really bad! Like there are no words to explain it kinda bad!!!

Akira: You’re really kickin’ up a fuss here. What’s gone and kicked the bucket this time?

Yasu: It’s that guy! Busujima has set us up!!!

Yasu: They came and abducted a first year, clamoring for a one-on-one fight!

Akira: Heh? So those small fries they sent back then were just a warm-up? So where’s the fight this time?

Yasu: It’s down at Ouroboros… Wait, are you really goin’ down there, Kirigaya-san!?

Yasu: They look really confident this time, it feels like they’ve gone up to a different league!

Yasu: Even you won’t stand a chance against that monster in a one-on-one fight… At worst, he’ll kill you!

Akira: Perfect. It wouldn’t be as interestin’ if there wasn’t a risk bein’ held over our heads.

Yasu: But…

Akira: We can’t just let someone abduct a first year and stand by doin’ nothin’, right?

Yasu: Damnit! There’s no way we’d lose if we had our badass biker man here…

Akira: Who in the right mind calls for backup in a one-on-one brawl, dumbass? Stop tattlin’, let’s go.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Are you not going to inform Osakabe?

Akira: Surely you must be joking, (L/n)-san.

⊳ Choice: What if we looked for someone else? Someone reliable.

Akira: And who would that be? Osakabe? Akira: No.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: I told you, didn’t I? He has a reason why he has to be an honor student with a blemish-free record.

Akira: Don’t stick your head into this mess, you hear? Concertmistress.

Is it really alright to let him go just like that…?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: Going up against the “Mito’s Armoured Car” just like that…

Seiji: You will tell me if he ends up facing off Busujima on his own, yes?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Now’s the time to act, not hesitate

If I don’t act now, I’ll only live to regret it!

Yasu: Good work today! See ya'!

Joyo Male Student: Bye.

Seiji: Well, don't you look happy, (Y/n)-san.

Tomoeda: I don't know what you're thinking, but it's not a good idea to hang out with a group of good-for-nothing delinquents like that who are more trouble than they're worth.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Even good-for-nothings have something going for them

Seiji: Oh? Seems like you've gotten pretty friendly with them.

⊳ Choice: What's wrong with me hanging out with them!?

Seiji: Stubborn. Did they teach you some defiance too?

⊳ Choice: Wow, harsh. You didn't have to gut them like that.

Seiji: So you’re saying that even people like them have praise-worthy moments?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: Kirigaya? Picking up trash? Oh my, my eyes are starting to tear up…

Seiji: Or so, I'd like to say, but it might be due to the gain-loss effect. That being said, there's a prime example right here.

Seiji: Look, Tomoeda’s unable to help his annoyance.

Tomoeda: What's the point in cleaning up that abandoned place? If he has that much free time on his hands, I'd rather he change that attitude of his and maybe contribute to the school a little.

Tomoeda: Furthermore, is he even aware of how much effort the president is putting in for the sake of the school?

Tomoeda: The school has been reformed ever since the president took over.

Tomoeda: The Culture Club, which was previously a dump of lazy sloths finally started to show some results after the president's budget reforms.

Tomoeda: The president also abolished the outdated systems and eliminated useless procedures. Hence, that's why the Student Council is no longer burdened by piles of meaningless paperwork.

Tomoeda: And—

Seiji: Thank you, Tomoeda, but you're starting to pile it on a little too thick.

Tomoeda: You're too humble for your own good… I'd love for Kirigaya to take a page out of your book.

Tomoeda: Plus… he's probably only picking fights with the random thugs in town, right?

⊳ Choice: I heard that someone by the name of “Busujima” was pretty strong

Seiji: What?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: Did you just say Busujima?

Seiji: That idiot! What is he thinking…

Seiji: Going up against the “Mito’s Armoured Car” just like that…

Tomoeda: Looks like you're quite informed.

Seiji: It’s part of my job to remember the big players in our area.

Tomoeda: And that’s why you’re the man for the job!

Seiji: You will tell me if he ends up facing off Busujima on his own, yes?

Seiji: Please, if you will.  I would like to keep tabs on our students, after all.

Akira: Oh, (L/n)-san.

Akira: …Why do you look so curious? Ah, are you interested in what's inside this huge bag?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Doesn't look like you're shopping…

Akira: Are you really that curious about it? Must be nice to have such free time to meddle in the affairs of others…

⊳ Choice: Are you becoming an off-season Santa Claus?

Akira: Haha, if this bag's goin’ to be filled with presents, then the recipient might be in for the surprise of their lifetime.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Well, I s'pose it's some sort of fate that I met you here. Help me out? I'll bring ya' someplace nice.

Akira: Why are you givin' me that look?

Akira: I'm not doin’ anything bad, I swear. Welp, this bag's all yours then.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: *sigh* What a huge mess again today.

Discarded plastic bottles, crushed cans, and cigarette butts were scattered all over the place.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Do you always pick up the garbage in here?

Akira: Not always, but I'll come by whenever I feel like it. Otherwise, untended, this place will end up being nothin' but a trash pile. Akira: What? Does it come as a surprise to you that I'd do this?

⊳ Choice: Who the hell made such a mess here!?

Akira: Drunkyards and elementary school students find their way here sometimes. This is the trash pile left in their wake. Akira: It's a real mess.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: But well, it's been a long time since this place went outta business.

Akira: No one's manning nor managing the place, so it's not like we can really do anythin' about it.

Akira: …Ah, be careful about the back. There are broken bottles over there.

Akira: Oh? Your movements are really swift, smooth, and effective. You're pretty apt at this yourself.

……

Akira: …Aight then. My bag's kinda full now so let's stop here for today.

Akira: We managed to clean up quite a bit. Thanks.

Akira: Want a cola?

Akira: Phew! Cola's best served ice-cold!

Akira: Hm? Why do I make the effort to maintain this place?

Akira: I wonder why.

Akira: I guess it's because there are people out there who call this place home…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Teacher: There's no other way to go about it, is there? The grandson of the Kiryu Clan’s Boss…

Teacher: If problems were to arise due to someone like that being in our Brass Band Club… Well, it'd be too late to do anything by then; the damage would have been done.

Akira (Past Self): Are you for real…? And THAT'S why you cut-

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: …

Akira: Well, it's not too shabby, right? I guess you can call it a secret hideout of sorts.

Akira: I used to come here a lot back in the day since they allowed the oddballs like me up on stage without so much as a bleet.

Akira: It used to be a pretty popular place. Although, you probably won't be able to imagine that ever happening with the state it's in right now…

⊳ Choice: I saw a video of it back in the day

Akira: Oh, really? I didn't know you watched something like that. Akira: I wonder when that video got taken though.

Kirigaya had been in the video with one other person— someone who played a Trumpet.

⊳ Choice: It's a little hard to ask…

Akira: Why are you fidgeting so much? Did you get somethin’ on your back? Akira: Who was the other guy I was performing with? Well, that's…

⊳ Choice: Who was the other person performing with you?

Akira: Other person? That's… Akira: A secret. Akira: Wouldn't life be much more interestin’ with a secret or two?

Akira: Hey, hurry and finish your cola. There's nothin’ more depressing in life than a fizzled-out can of cola.

Akira: Phew…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: That was brilliant!

Akira: Well, your Violin playing skills weren't bad either.

⊳ Choice: I was right to invite you two to join us!

Seiji: You think so? I'm glad to see that you're pleased.

Seiji: Well, I'll have to excuse myself here.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Dunno. He's busy too, isn't he? Though, I wouldn't know much about it.

Akira: 'Sides, that song we just played went well, so it's not that much of a problem now that he's gone, is it?

Akira: He did play the Trumpet in the past too, for that matter.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: What about you, Kirigaya?

Akira: Me? Well, there was the Brass Band Club back when I was in elementary school. Akira: Then there was the Brass Band Orchestra Club in middle school who was a pain in the ass, tellin' me to clean up and put myself together a lil' more.

⊳ Choice: What of the "Yaksha of Route 6"?

Akira: Huh, you're aware of that? Oh, I s'pose Yasu was the one who told you about it. He does like to run his mouth off.

⊳ Choice: Is your middle school nearby?

Akira: Yeah. It's 10 minutes away from Joyo on foot.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: This place is like my backyard, see? I've been loitering 'round these streets ever since I was a kid.

⊳ Choice: Was Osakabe in the same middle school?

Akira: Yeah, he was.

Akira: Wouldn't it be better to ask him about it if you wanted to know more about him?

Akira: What, you tryin' to get in his good graces or somethin'? Must be hard being in your position, Concetmistress.

Akira: Well, I s'pose that's part of your job and all, but I'm sure that even you know that this is not somethin' I can help you with, yeah?

Akira: After all, we're just a bunch of "bad students" who are shunned by the school.

Akira: The way he does things is pretty insidious, and there are loads of people on my side who hold a grudge against him.

Akira: Some of my guys would rather dance a dance of death with a snake than team up with Osakabe.

Akira: But each to his own, right?

Yasu: Kirigaya-san! Trouble! Big trouble!!

Akira: Hm? What happened?

Yasu: Those guys from Oba Commercial High School who came to our school came back. And this time, with their top dog, Busujima, in tow!

Akira: Oh? They're back? Things are finally getting interesting…

Yasu: Now's not the time to be amused by things like this!

Yasu: He's a monster notoriously known as "Mito's Armoured Car"! It doesn't matter how hard we retaliate; it doesn't work at all!

Yasu: He should have been abroad to play rugby or American football, but he messed up big-time over there, so now he's back.

Yasu: Our guys are so frightened that it feels like we're all attending a wake or somethin'!

Akira: There's no helpin' you guys. So? Where's the funfair at?

Yasu: Wha- Wait! Hey! Kirigaya-san!? You're just going to walk right up to him without taking any precautions!?

Yasu: W-WAIT UP!!

Hayate: …That looks bad; as bad as it comes. Looks like it won't be possible for him to compromise with Osakabe-san.

Hayate: What? I don't hate people like Kirigaya.

Hayate: He's chivalrous enough to protect his subordinates, and even takes the initiative needed to see it through. I can understand why people are willing to follow his lead. 

Sakuya: Oh? That's unexpected. I thought you were more of the "That's against the rules. Let's crackdown on them" type.

Hayate: For students of our school, yes. First, I'll have him tuck his shirt tails, that's hanging out for the world to see, back in his pants.

Sakuya: …I'm glad Kirigaya isn't one of our school's students. Wouldn't you agree, (L/n)?

*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Main story tag will be #Main Starlight

Yasu: Huh?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: You’re Kirigaya’s friend aren’t you…? / You were at Ouroboros…

Yasu: Ohh! You’re the leader of the Orchestra that came down from Yokohama, right?

Yasu: I heard about it from Kirigaya-san! You came to recruit both him and the Student Council President, yeah? You have guts!

Yasu: Kirigaya-san’s an amazin’ person! With him, you’ll definitely be able to reach the top of the world!

Yasu: And you set your eye on him, so you’re not bad yourself either.

Yasu: Because he’s a legend! A true legend!

Yasu: What? You invited him to join you without knowing anything about that?

Yasu: Seriously? You people of Southern Kanto are really unbothered by your own lack of common knowledge, huh.

Yasu: Joyo Technical High School was nothing but just a bunch of good-for-nothings gathered together in a school a couple of years back.

Yasu: And the one person responsible for making our school as ballsy as we are now, is the “Yaksha of Route 6”— and that’s Kirigaya-san!

Yasu: He had a reputation! Everyone out there had heard of him around the time he was in middle school.

Yasu: Teamed with the speedily swift Captain “Rasetsu of Route 6”, they managed to quash 3 large teams!

Yasu: The “Rasetsu of Route 6”  always wore a full-face helmet, brandishing an iron pipe. Those were his items of office and he was a right mystery!

Yasu: *sigh* I should have joined them back then. I even got their signature!

Yasu: Well, he was THAT notorious back then, so I s’pose there was no helpin’ it when our Student Council President made it a point to keep an eye on him. 

Yasu: Huh? What if we changed the Gyojo?

Yasu: I don't know what that is. Gyojo might be Gyoza's cousin or something or whatever, but I'm vehemently against that!

Yasu: If we do things half-heartedly, we might end up backtracking and reverting to the old Joyo where everyone was half-assed at everything!

Yasu: I heard that in the past, Joyo was a school that was looked down upon, and no one could do anything to help it.

Yasu: I mean, I'm only the way I am right not because I don't want to be belittled by the Student Council either.

Yasu: Huh?

Tomoeda: It's a bag check. Open your bags so that I can see the items within.

Tomoeda: Magazines are prohibited. I'll be confiscating this.

Joyo Male Student: I only brought that here because I was going to return it to a friend.

Tomoeda: No exceptions.

Yasu: They're going around doing that again?

Tomoeda: Hm? You, over there. Yasuda from 2nd year, correct? Open your bag too.

Yasu: Hah? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll have to decline.

Tomoeda: Wait… You're being undeniably suspicious. We'll open your bag.

Tomoeda: I knew it. Why do you have so many snacks on you? What are you, an elementary schooler? We'll be confiscating these.

Yasu: Ahh! That's enough, don'cha think!? Give it back!

Tomoeda: What's with that attitude? Don't tell me you're still hiding something else in here.

Yasu: I'm not hidin' anythin'!

Tomoeda: And that's what everyone who breaks the rules says. Hmm, and what do we have here? What's this scrap of paper?

Tomoeda: "I've always adored you. I've never had the chance to say it, but I love you."

Yasu: G-Gi-Give it back!

Tomoeda: "I only started liking Japanese after meeting you, Sakuma-sensei."

Tomoeda: Hahaha! This is addressed to the Japanese Language Teacher, Sakuma-sensei? Well, she's beautiful, no doubt~ But, to write a love letter to your teacher?

Tomoeda: Plus, you even spelled "meet" wrongly. What a dumb fool.

Yasu: Shut up! Give it back!! *sobs*

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Enough.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Stop being so lame. Don't tell me you're even going to confiscate that one little, harmless, letter? 

Tomoeda: …Kirigaya…

Akira: Here you go, Yasu. Take this, tuck it away in your bag, and get inside the school.

Yasu: Kirigaya-san… T-Thank you!

Tomoeda: What do you think you're doing? You should open your bag too, senpai.

Akira: Huh? You for real?

Tomoeda: ……

Seiji: Enough, Tomoeda.

Seiji: Please excuse us. I believe we've overstepped our boundaries this time.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: If you can't discipline your underlings, then maybe you should let them out without a leash, Student Council President.

Seiji: Never thought that the leader of a pack of wild dogs would be giving me a piece of his mind either.

Joyo Male Student 1: Yikes! They're terrifying…

Joyo Male Student 2: Our Student Council President really doesn't get along well with the leader of the delinquents…

Akira: Osakabe and I, together, in an Orchestra?

Akira: You sure have some bad taste. Or, I suppose, you’re being rather unreasonable here.

Akira: You can see for yourself, can’t you? Our Student Council President doesn’t even think of us delinquents as part of the school as things stand.

Akira: Now, you want us to make music together? No way, no shot.

Akira: Well, but your dream is to be the best this world has ever seen, right? It’s not bad to aim for the top.

Seiji: And you, somehow like the top for one reason or another, right? The higher the better.

Akira: Hah? What’cha comin’ at me like that for? Wanna go?

Seiji: And the blood rushes right up to your head and that’s precisely how you get into conflicts with students from other schools, wouldn’t you agree, Leader of Ouroboros?

Akira: That’s rich coming from the guy who just drenched me with a hose…

Seiji: Well, now you’ve seen it all. This is how it is here. It’s embarrassing to admit this, but our school’s quite a rough patch too.

Seiji: I’m personally interested in joining an Orchestra, and even more so since the Starlight Orchestra is a particularly nostalgic place I’m fond of, but as you can see… I think it’s not feasible for me to join you as things stand.

Seiji: I’m afraid I’m unable to leave this school to join your cause. There is also a large percentage of the student population who are against the very presence of the Student Council.

Akira: Well, I can’t join you too. The top dog just got removed this spring, so the other schools are all getting rowdier as we speak.

Akira: I can’t afford to travel to Yokohama like this.

Seiji: As a token of our friendship in the past, I’ll help you out if you come here to prepare for a concert held in Mito.

Seiji: You can use any of the empty music rooms here. Besides, it’s not like any of our students are putting it to good use anyway.

Akira: That’s that then.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Wait!

Seiji: You’re still not letting the bone go?

⊳ Choice: Let’s talk over it a little more.

Akira: I’m utterly drenched, no thanks to that Student Council President over there, though.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Akira: Jesus, you’re persistent! What is it about us that makes you want us so?

⊳ Choice: please watch this.

Akira: Hm? Is that a video? Wow, someone actually recorded it? Akira: This was from back when the store was still in business… How nostalgic.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: ……

Akira: You want that in your team? You have spunk. It won’t come cheap, ya know?

Seiji: Kirigaya.

Akira: If you truly intend to be the best of the best in the world, then I’ll lend you a hand.

Akira: But first, let’s start with your next concert. Fill the seats; get a full house. Show me that you can do it. If you can, then wouldn’t aiming for the top of the top be nothing but a breeze?

Seiji: …It’s troubling to have you accept something like that on a whim.

Akira: Petty talk from a petty person.

Akira: It’d be interesting if these guys took out those pompous assholes and took the crown, wouldn’t you say?

Akira: We’ll lend you a hand only when you’re playin’ in Mito. Try lighting our passion with your music, little lady.

Ginga: This is Joyo Technical High School? What a scene…

Sakuya: Paint vandalism is so apparent on its walls, and it spans such a huge area…

Tomoharu: They’re a huge difference from Seiso Academy. It really feels as if we’ve stepped foot into another school. How exciting!

Sakuya: I’m booking it the moment a fight breaks out.

Ginga: Now, now, Kujo-kun~ Aren’t your opponents merely high schoolers? Stand your ground and fight for-

Joyo Male Student 1: Sup, girls, and boys. Where'd ya come from? What business do you have with our school? 

Joyo Male Student 2: What’s your business here, HUH? We’ll hear ya out. 

Ginga: Wha- Are high schoolers these days usually  so… burly? This is far beyond my capabilities. We’re booking it!

Sakuya: Sensei!

Kujo: He really ran off with his tail between his legs…

Joyo Male Student 1: Ya good to stay? We’ll introduce you to our school.

Joyo Male Student 2: Whoa, dude. Aren’t ya just being a flirt, hittin’ someone up like that?

Hayate: Using numbers to pick a fight with a girl who’s alone? Is that how low Joyo Technical High School is willing to stoop? I’ll take you on if you so insist.

Tomoharu: Wow. You’re really cool, Ryuzaki-senpai!

Sakuya: Dumbass! Don’t egg them on!

Joyo Male Student 1: Ya wanna have a go? Your pretty clothes are all gonna end up all roughed up, sirs.

Joyo Male Student 2: We’ll show you what Joyo gives to the people askin’ for it! Come to the back of the gym!

???: That’s enough. You’re being a disgrace.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

???: I can’t say I appreciate you trying to pick fights with students from other schools right outside of our school’s gates.

Joyo Male Student 1: *blanches* President Osakabe…

Seiji: As students of the traditional  Joyo Technical High School, I would have expected you to have acted in a manner befitting of whence you came.

Joyo Male Student 2: Tch… Damnit! If Kirigaya-san were here, he’d…

Joyo Male Student 1: C’mon, let’s go. It’ll be bad if we get into a fight with the Student Council President.

Seiji: Dear me… I do apologize on behalf of our school’s students.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Thank him

Seiji: Heh? You seem pretty calm after all that. Looks like you have nerves of steel, unlike how you look.

⊳ Choice: That was terrifying…

Seiji: I sincerely apologize for their actions. Will you forgive them on my behalf? They’re not that bad of a person, deep down.

⊳ Choice:  You’re THAT “Osakabe-san”?

Seiji: Yes. Have we met somewhere before?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Hayate: Osakabe-san! It’s been a long time since we met!

Hayate: You’re… Ryuzaki? From the Starlight Orchestra?

Seiji: It’s been a long time. You’ve also grown taller compared to last year.

Seiji: I never thought that you’d actually come to Mito. Color me surprised.

Hayate: I do apologize for asking you this so suddenly, but there’s something I’d like to discuss with you regarding the Starlight Orchestra.

Seiji: Please, there’s no need for you to apologize. But, we can’t exactly talk standing out here.

Seiji: It’s a little sordid, I’ll admit, but why don’t we continue this conversation up in the conference room?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: I see. You’re reviving the Starlight Orchestra? That does sound interesting, but…

Seiji: Making another Orchestra that was as disorganized as the last? I can’t say that it’ll be an easy endeavor.

Seiji: Many people know of what happened last year, even in Seiso Academy. Thus, I’m sure it’s hard for you to gather any members, so to speak.

Hayate: It is just as you say. I will not deny that it’s been hard for us up till now.

Hayate: However- No. That’s precisely why we need people with skills— people who can make an impression; people who can solidify the fact that we’re making a comeback.

Seji: I do understand your situation and where you’re coming from.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Let’s aim to be the best in the world, together!

Seiji: You’ll spill your cup of tea if you lean forward like that.

⊳ Choice: (This isn’t going to work out, is it…)

Hayate: Hey, Concertmistress! You should ask him to join us too!

⊳ Choice: Will you lend us a hand?

Seiji: It is as the saying goes, “Even the hunter will refrain from killing the bird that has flown to him seeking shelter”. I do want to help you. I really do.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Seiji: I see your passion, but you don't currently have any Brass players at all, correct? Given that, it’s a little hard for me to—

Joyo Teacher: Hello, hello, pleased to meet you. I hear that you want our boy, Osakabe, to enter the International Concours?

Joyo Teacher: Please, we’re grateful that you took the time to come all the way here from Yokohama. It’s a brilliant offer, wouldn’t you say, Osakabe?

Seiji: Sensei? Where did you hear that from?

Joyo Teacher: There was an odd little minivan parked outside, so I went to talk to the driver. Turns out that that person happened to be their Conductor.

Joyo Teacher: The Vice Principal was excitedly talking about how it was just like you, the pride of our school, to net such a brilliant offer,  back in the staff room.

Joyo Teacher: Well, our school does have its own different departments and all as well, but…

Joyo Teacher: Ever since you enrolled, the Student Council and the Cultural Club both became much more active, and both the academics and sports in this school took a turn for the better.

Joyo Teacher: And adding on participating in an International Concours on top of all of that? Wow, I’m really excited to see how far you can go.

Seiji: …I do not understand why you hold such high expectations of me, but I do admit that I would like to give it my best shot.

Seiji: Well then, sensei. I apologize for cutting this short, but I have a meeting I should be attending, so I shall have to take my leave now.

Joyo Teacher: Sure thing. We’re anticipating your achievements!

Seiji: Oh dear… This has become quite troubling. If this was all a calculated move of yours, then you’ve proven to be quite the terrifying force.

Seiji: Do you seriously intend to participate in the International Concours with your current lack of members?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: We’re thinking of asking someone named “Kirigaya” to join us too.

Seiji: Kirigaya?

⊳ Choice: We do have someone else we’d like to join in mind.

Seiji: It feels like you don’t mind who joins you, so long as someone does.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Tomoharu: There was a student from Joyo Technical High School who was playing the Trumpet earlier at a shop named Ouroboros.

Seiji: I see… Looks like you’ve got your eye on a troublesome one.

Seiji: You mean to put me and Kirigaya in the same Orchestra? Clearly, there are many things you are unaware of.

Seiji: Now, if only that guy joins this little Orchestra of yours without putting up a vicious fight of his own. Let’s see, I’d say you currently stand at a 1/10 chance of success.

Tomoeda: P-President! President Osakabe! Something bad has happened!

Tomoeda: Some people from Oba Commercial High School’s riding around our schoolyard with motorcycles, yelling for us to hand Kirigaya over!

Seiji: My, my. Business really is booming today.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Delinquent: KIRIGAYAAA!

Delinquent: Hand Kirigaya over!!

???: Oh? Clean shot.

???: Hmph.

Delinquent: Don’t mess with us!

Student: What should we do…?

Seiji: Burst them down with a hose.

Delinquent:  TAKE THI- Wargh!?

Delinquent:  D-Damnit, let’s retreat for now!

Delinquent:  We’re not done here!

Delinquent: We’ll remember this!

*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Main story tag will be #Main Starlight

Sakuya: Mito really does have a lot of beautifully scenic locations.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Is it your first time here, Sakuya?

Sakuya: …I don’t think I’ve gone anywhere else other than Tokyo and Yokohama…

⊳ Choice: Let’s enjoy ourselves since we’re here.

Sakuya: What’s with that super bookmarked and labeled guidebook you have there with you? We’re not here to play, you know…

Tomoharu: Wow… Hey, this stamina ramen looks delicious. Why don’t we come to try it out next time?

Hayate: It’s said that the first person in Japan to ever eat ramen was Lord Mito Mitsukuni.

⊳ Choice: What’s a “Kodokan”?

Hayate: What, you’re from the General Education department, and you know nothing about Japan’s history?

Hayate: It’s the domain school founded by Tokugawa Nariaki, a feudal lord from the Mito Clan.

Hayate: Its development eventually had a great influence on Yoshida Shoin, Saigo Takamori, as well as the other patriots during the final years of the Edo period.

Hayate: This Bizenbori Canel seems to be part of Modern Mito’s eight picturesque sights, including the Hinuma River.

Hayate: It’s a famous historic city that has prospered since ancient times, thanks to the waterborne transport trade of the Naka River.

Joyo Male Student 2: C’mon, c’mon! Seems like it has already started!

Joyo Male Student 1: You were way too slow with that bowl of ramen!

Tomoharu: I wonder what happened? A fight, maybe?

Ginga: Maybe, but hearing them mention ramen makes me want to have a bowl of it for myself too.

Ginga: Stamina ramen chock full of ingredients, huh. But Mito Ramen sounds good too~

Sakuya: Huh? Wait… hang on.

Sakuya: Sensei? Didn’t you just cook rice back at the minivan’s kitchen? And quite a large amount of it too.

Ginga: Huh? Err…

Sakuya: And weren’t you saying how all you had to do was to purchase some side dishes for a perfect lunch?

Ginga: Ehh?  But I can just throw them into the refrigerator, can’t I~?

Sakuya: The refrigerator isn’t capable of holding that much food, and you know that.

Sakuya: Looks like it’s decided then. I’ll go buy some side dishes for us. Ramen next time, yes?

Ginga: …Fine…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: Honestly. His lack of planning is shockingly disconcerting.

Sakuya: And you look like you’re having fun with everything and anything, either way… Hm?

Sakuya: This sounds like… a Trumpet? But where is it coming from?

Sakuya: “Let’s go check it out”? Wait- Hey, (L/n)!

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: Wow… What a rich and smooth reverberation…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Joyo Male Student 1: *sobbing* Kirigaya-san… How amazing…

Joyo Male Student 2: My heart’s been rekindled…

Sakuya: Wha- Watch out. This place is filled with dangerous-looking people!

Sakuya: Let’s quickly make our escape, (L/n). We have to get out before they notice us.

⊳ Choice: I want to listen to the performance a little more / I want to know that Trumpeter’s name

Sakuya: Now’s not the time for that!

Yasu: Oh no! Boss! Something terrible happened!

Akira: Hm? What’s happened, Yasu?

Yasu: Some guys from Kasa High are tryin’ to pick a fight out at the bridge! They seem super full of themselves!

Yasu: Our 1st and 2nd years are getting overwhelmed by about 3 or so people.

Akira: Oh? Now that’s some guts they have to be attacking Joyo in broad daylight. 

Akira: They asked for it, so I’m going to play along. Let’s go.

Delinquents: YEAH!

Sakuya: I guess they’re all going out to… fight? Everyone filed out just like that, at a snap of his fingers…

Sakuya: I don’t think they saw us at all.

⊳ Choice: I missed his name.

Sakuya: You mean that Trumpeter? I heard someone addressing him as “Kirigaya-san”?

⊳ Choice: Now my adrenaline’s pumping!

Sakuya: You’re really prone to sticking your nose into things that you really should be steering clear of.

⊳ Choice: Terrifying…

Sakuya: Well, I suppose we should count our lucky stars for having avoided them.

Sakuya: Besides, what is this place? The signboard says “Ouroboros”...

Sakuya: There’s a stage here, but it doesn’t seem to be in use.

Sakuya: Anyway, let’s get out of here quick. It’ll be troublesome if those people come back.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Ginga: Huh, I see.

Tomoharu: A delinquent Trumpeter? Sounds like Louis Armstrong if you ask me.

⊳ Choice: Louis Armstrong?

Tomoharu: He’s an American Jazz Musician. He was sent to a Juvenile Home as a kid and had many ups and downs in life, but…

Tomoharu: Despite facing discrimination,  he was a brilliantly talented genius Trumpeter.

⊳ Choice: Yeah…

Tomoharu: I should have gone with you guys.

Tomoharu: “Ouroboros”...? I recall that that was the name of the Jazz  Café & Bar that opened for business a couple of years ago.

Tomoharu: Here, look. This video seems to have been taken from when the place was still in business.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

I saw 2 Trumpets being played on the video that Narumiya showed me on his phone.

⊳ Choice: It’s the guy from earlier!

Tomoharu: What? This performer’s the same guy you saw earlier? Wow. He’s definitely good…

Ginga: We can’t really see the other guy. The video’s too dark.

Tomoharu: It looks like this video was shot from the audience, after all.

Hayate: This uniform looks like Joyo Technical High School’s; the same school that Osakabe-san is in.

Tomoharu: What?

Sakuya: Come to think of it… Those guys were saying something about “Joyo” as well…

⊳ Choice:  Let’s check out Joyo Technical High School.

Hayate: Yeah. We’re going to ask Osakabe-san to join us, so we might as well drop by.

Sakuya: That’s the school that those guys we saw are attending, right? I’m already having a bad feeling about this…

⊳ Choice: Huh? What about the best orchestra in the world?

Sakuya: Looks like you’re still half-asleep.

⊳ Choice: 5 more minutes…

Sakuya: Are you planning on sleeping here till the morning after?

Sakuya: I really admire how you can just drop off to sleep like that. You haven’t submitted your career guidance form yet, right?

Sakuya: I was just gonna ask you to hand it in ASAP, but… it doesn’t look like you’ve filled it in any way. I mean, look at you. You fell asleep while reading a magazine.

Sakuya: *sigh* If you’re worrying about whether or not you drooled in your sleep, maybe you should stop sleeping out in the open like this. You’re reading about Tsukishiro Kei again? I don’t know how you aren’t bored of it yet.

⊳ Choice: It really brings me back… / I won’t ever forget that…

Sakuya: Yes, I’ve already heard that conversation many times over. You fell in love with his music ever since you heard him play back as a kid, right? The music of Tsukishiro Kei’s violin.

Sakuya: But it doesn’t matter how much you adore him, he’s still someone a world apart from us.

Sakuya: Didn’t the orchestra that you joined during middle school end up disbanding?

Sakuya: There’s no way I can ever forget what happened… Especially not when something like that happened on the day the results were announced…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: A pass, huh… Well, I suppose that sounds about right.

Sakuya: —Hm?

Sakuya: …Ah…

Sakuya: ……

Sakuya: Hey, wa-wait a minute! Why are you using my scarf to wipe your tears away!?

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: *sigh* I was truly unfortunate to have been the one standing beside you back then…

Sakuya: I never thought that I’d end up keeping an eye out for you ever since we enrolled…

The day we were rejected from music education and ended up being sorted into general education.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Sorry for troubling you…

Sakuya: Well, I’ve already accepted my fate.

⊳ Choice: You weren’t exactly keeping an eye out for me.

Sakuya: And what do I have to thank for that? Your non-existent self-awareness.

⊳ Choice: Why makes you say that?

Sakuya: Don’t you remember? Everyone around us was chattering about how I was the one who made you cry.

Sakuya: You fell sick with a fever during the period where the exams for the music ed department took place, not to mention how the orchestra you were part of disbanded…

Sakuya: You weren’t able to give the exam your best shot. Maybe it was because of the string of unlucky incidents you’d experienced before that, but it might also be fate.

Sakuya: Because even if you did get into the music ed department, there’s still no guarantee that you’ll be able to join the Orchestra Club…

—Wait, the Orchestra Club!?

⊳ Choice: Hang on, what time is it now!?

Sakuya: Now? 3.40 PM, wh-

Sakuya: You’re participating in the Orchestra Club’s entry test? So that’s why you stayed up all night just to practise and… Wait, but doesn’t that mean- Hey, (L/N)!

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Music Ed Guy: *sigh* There are so many people hoping to join the Club… Then again, this IS Seiso Academy’s Orchestra Club, so that does make sense.

There was a line of hopeful prospects queuing outside the Music Room, awaiting their turn for the entry test.

⊳ Choice: Now I’m nervous… / I just have to treat it like normal practice!

Music Ed Girl 1: …Hey… Isn’t that girl… that uniform… Isn’t that general ed’s?

Music Ed Girl 2: Ehh? Why’d she come here? And she’s a 2nd year, judging from the colour of her tie. She’s not even a freshman.

???: Hey, you lot! We’re in the middle of a test, so quit yammering.

???: Next, please.

⊳ Choice: Okay! / I’ll give it my best!

Hayate: What? Aren’t you… a general ed student?

Hayate: Are you the same student that came last year? I believe I’d already told you back then…

Hayate: Look, you can see for yourself. We’re currently swamped with freshmen who’re applying for the club. After all, we’re one of the usual few schools to end up entering the National Concours.

Hayate: The chances of entering the Club even as a music ed student are slim enough. What makes you think we’ll even consider people from general ed?

Hayate: Stop joking around and go home. If you want to play the violin, then do so in front of the park or the station.

Hayate: Next person, please.

⊳ Choice: 1 minute! Just 1 minute!

Hayate: No.

⊳ Choice: I can go last! 

Hayate: How persistent. It doesn’t matter whether you go now or later.

Hayate: Wha-what? Don’t grab at my sleeve!

Hayate: You won’t lose to their passion? Who cares!? I’m telling you that we don’t need people like you here!

Music Ed Girl 1: Yikes… Poor thing…

Music Ed Girl 2: Nothing they can do about it. I heard that there used to be an Orchestra Club for general ed students.

Music Ed Girl 2: But they’d suddenly decided that exams were more important and disbanded right before the Concours.

……

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Music Ed Girl 1: I hope they somehow win the Concours this time.

Music Ed Guy 1: I heard that they’re going to have a joint concert with the students from Yokohama Amane Gakuen High School.

Music Ed Girl 2: Looks like I’ll have to get a new dress so that I’m prepared if I’m ever called up to stage as a guest.

Music Ed Girl 3: Who knows? I might even get into a violin romance with someone…

Music Ed Girl 4: Isn’t that one of this school’s 7 mysteries? The one where the Fata, the fairies of music, tie your fate with someone who also plays?

Music Ed Guy 2: I’m gonna be late for Ogura-sensei’s class! And my analysis isn’t done either!
