4th Anniversary The Key to Daydreaming: Secret Key - Event Translation

Aye~ I have nothing to say, but if you would have realized, the event is divided into a few parts. The first part will be these 2 chapters called Secret Key, followed by Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter story, followed by the so called epilogue. Following this though, I will be translating in random order (actually based on which troupe I like most first *cough cough*). But yeah, unless other translators pick it up, I will slowly do these per troupes. Also, remember that the event story is voiced in the game, so you can listen while reading my translation for better experience.

Without further ado, Happy 4th Anniversary to A3! and enjoy~

4th Anniversary The Key to Daydreaming: Secret Key / / Spring’s Door / / Autumn’s Door / / Winter’s Door / / Opening the Future Door with You

TN: The direct translation of the event title is supposed to be ‘Your Voice that Opened the Door’ but I decided to use the actual title since it’s given in the event title.

Secret Key

Tsumugi:

Eh, everyone’s already gathered here.

Tenma:

That’s fast.

Banri:

We set it at 1pm though.

Sakuya:

We somehow gathered 20 minutes earlier than expected.

Tsumugi:

I thought I could take a look at the flowerbed first, that’s why I came earlier.

Tenma:

I was thinking of reading scripts in the courtyard.

Banri:

I was just taking a little break.

Sakuya:

Me too. The weather looks good, I was thinking of just relaxing on the bench.

Tenma:

Well, let’s wait until Director is here then.

Tsumugi:

Right.

Banri:

By the way, Sakyo-san said that he will replace old equipment, so we should list up the stuffs that we need.

Tenma:

Even if we list it up, I have a feeling that they’ll end up getting rejected.

Tsumugi:

Sounds like he will check it thoroughly.

Banri:

Well, there’s no doubt that he will bizzarely sieve the list.

Sakuya:

Speaking of equipment, it seems like a lot of chairs in the rehearsal hall are infested by moths…

Tsumugi:

The bench in the courtyard is also quite old, it’s getting dangerous.

Tenma:

If you say so, the sofa in the lounge is getting too flat as well.

Banri:

If it’s the lounge, I kinda want a projector.

Sakuya:

Projector?

Banri:

We have a lot of people, moreover we’re all guys, it’s so suffocating to gather just for everyone to look at that one small television.

Sakuya:

True that… It’s always a struggle to get in front of the television.

Tsumugi:

Yeah, I’m kinda troubled, it’s hard to watch even reference videos…

Tenma:

If we have a projector, everyone would be able to see, it sounds great.

Banri:

Right?

Tenma:

But, will Sakyo-san even say ok to that?

Sakuya:

It might be impossible…

Tsumugi:

Sounds like he would tell us to bring it up again after the television broke.

Banri:

After it’s broken huh…

Sakuya:

Eh!?

Tenma:

You’ll get found out immediately.

Banri:

Tch.

<Short Time Skip>

Sakuya:

This should be more or less all of the things we need.

Banri:

We managed to squeeze a lot of stuffs there, I wonder if we can pass about 80% of them.

Tenma:

Right, Tsumugi-san, are you sure it’s alright not to ask anything for your gardening?

Tsumugi:

Yeah…

Ah, speaking of which, I found something interesting recently.

Umm, I saved it last time…

Eh? I wonder where it is.

Tenma:

Save? Like a screenshot?

Banri:

If you’re looking for your bookmark, it’s over there.

Tsumugi:

Ah, let’s see…

Oh, it’s here, look at this.

Sakuya:

“Mix Flower Box”?

Tsumugi:

It seems to be a box of assorted seeds, there are a lot of different seeds inside, but we won’t know until it blooms so you can look forward for the seeds to bloom.

Tenma:

Oh, sounds interesting.

Tsumugi:

There was a time when Citron-kun bought a seed that he didn’t know what kind of flower will bloom…

Before the flower blooms, I feel the excitement every day, like opening an unknown treasure chest. I thought it was good.

Sakuya:

That feeling, I feel that I can understand…

For me, the days I spend in this theatre troupe feels exactly like that.

Something unpredictable happens everyday, it’s so exciting, and in the end, they will become treasurable memories.

Tenma:

That’s true, life here’s pretty unpredictable.

Banri:

There’s just too many guys who have nothing to do.

Tsumugi:

You’re right. Everyday’s an exciting one.

Tenma:

Director too, I wonder how she can deal with all the members with these quirks.

Banri:

Well, it was the members that she gathered in the first place.

Sakuya:

Haha, you’re right.

But, I think it’s thanks to Director too that we can live like this everyday.

Tsumugi:

Speaking of which, it’s already 1pm now…

Director’s late.

Banri:

--Ah, a LIME message.

She said she got held back at work and she wants to do the leader’s meeting on another day.

Tsumugi:

Director seems pretty busy recently.

Tenma:

Fleur Award requires a lot of recognitions and connections, it seems that she’s trying to get us to appear in a lot of performances.

Banri:

We have to be able to live up to Director-chan’s expectation as well.

Sakuya:

You’re right. I definitely want to win the Fleur Award.

Manager:

Oh, why are you guys gossiping about Director in this kind of place~?

I guess when you’re with each other for a long time, there would be a lot of things to say huh~ I see I see.

Banri:

No, it’s not even close.

Manager:

It’s fine! I’ll definitely not tell anyone!

Tenma:

Don’t say as if we’re badmouthing her!

Tsumugi:

We were talking about how Director is very busy nowadays for the sake of our theatre troupe.

Sakuya:

We also have to try our best for Director’s sake.

Manager:

I see…!

If that’s the case, that’s the perfect topic…

Sakuya:

Eh?

Manager:

There’s a bit of an issue over here…

<End of Chapter 1>

Tenma:

Ugh, who would have thought that we would end up organizing the warehouse again…?

Banri:

It’s a chaos as per usual.

Sakuya:

I feel that I’ve just cleaned up recently though…

Tsumugi:

I wonder where all these stuffs came out from.

Manager:

Actually, I was looking for something, so it gets a bit messy here…

Banri:

It’s not just a bit.

Tenma:

What are you looking for?

Manager:

You see, one of the condition for the act off with the first generation was the rehearsal video of the first generation that Mr Kamikizaka asked for.

I was asked by Director to find it, and I’ve been forge—I mean, I can’t find it alone.

Sakuya:

So you forgot about it…

Banri:

It’s troublesome so you leave it alone, then you ended up forgetting huh.

Manager:

We, well, let’s leave it at that! For the sake of our Director who has worked hard, I need everyone’s help!

Tenma:

Is that how you’re supposed to convince us.

Banri:

There’s no other choice.

Tsumugi:

If it’s for Director, I do want to try looking for a bit.

Sakuya:

Let’s do our best to find it!

Manager:

Thank you so much!

The first generation’s stuffs are at the back.

Tenma:

Oi, by behind you mean…

Banri:

How are we supposed to get behind this pile of stuff.

Tsumugi:

I guess for now, let’s clean up from the stuffs that we can reach.

Tenma:

I wonder when the storage will finally be cleaned…

<Short Time Skip>

Sakuya:

It’s not here…

Banri:

If we can’t find it after this much searching, I bet it’s kept somewhere else.

Manager:

That’s weird~…

I’m sure, I put it in this storage room somewhere…

If it’s not here, is it in that warehouse, or maybe it’s in that shelf…

Tenma:

You’re too vague!

Manager:

I’ll go take a look at the warehouse over there!

Banri:

Sigh, can we even find it.

Tsumugi:

Eh, isn’t this a projector?

Banri:

Oh, it’s a bit old, but it’s a pretty good one.

Sakuya:

So we also have this kind of thing here.

Banri:

Sakyo-san doesn’t seem to know about this too.

When I have a screening last time, I was still wondering whether I need to rent it or not.

Tenma:

Rather than that, what should we do with the search now?

Should we try looking at different place?

Tsumugi:

You’re right.

We’ve already searched here--

Sakuya:

Ah! It’s here! I found it!

It’s at the most back, there’s a cardboard box with documentary written on it. Isn’t this the one?

Banri:

When he said the back, does it really need to be the most back.

Tsumugi:

It seems that there are a few videos of their past performances and practices here.

Tenma:

For now, I’m glad we managed to find it safely.

Banri:

Hmm? What’s this box.

Tsumugi:

It’s locked.

Banri:

It’s a dial-type lock huh.

I wonder if there’s something precious locked inside?

Tenma:

It looks like Hakkaku-san’s treasure box.

Sakuya:

I feel kinda excited somehow.

Tsumugi:

Ah, there’s a memo pasted there.

Tenma:

“One day, surely—”

What is it about?

Tsumugi:

It’s the hint about the lock maybe.

Banri:

‘One day surely’ huh.

It doesn’t feel like a code.

Tsumugi:

How about taking the words literally?

‘One day surely’… Maybe it’s about something that was unreachable in the past.

Sakuya:

Something that the first generation didn’t get to reach is--

Tenma:

There’s only one thing that came to mind.

Banri:

It’s this isn’t it.

“FLEUR”

Sakuya:

It’s opened!

Tsumugi:

Inside is… Another treasure box?

Banri:

Is it a matoryoshka or something.

Tenma:

This box doesn’t seem to be locked though.

Sakuya:

Is the content another treasure box?

Tenma:

No, it’s a key and a video tape.

Manager:

I’m sorry, I was trying to find it in the warehouse over the—

Eh? You found it?

Banri:

It’s here, but there’s also a weird box inside.

Manager:

Ah! That is--

<Time Skip>

Director:

(It’s finally my day off after a long while, what should I do today I wonder.

*LIME ping*

--It’s from manager)

<LIME starts>

Manager:

I managed to find the first generation practice video that you asked for!

Director:

Eh!? Really!?

Manager:

I left tape on the table in the courtyard, please take it later.

<LIME ends>

Director:

(Courtyard?)

<LIME starts>

Manager:

I’ll leave it up to you~

Director:

Understood.

<LIME ends>

Director:

(Why is it the courtyard though…?

Well, it’s fine.

I’m here anyway, I kinda want to see it soon, let’s go get it now)

<Shifts to Courtyard>

Director:

Hmm…

Ah, it’s here.

(Eh? There’s a key placed here… Whose key is it?

There’s no keyholder though, I have no idea what key is this…)

Manager:

Ah, Director~

So you found the tape~?

Director:

Yeah, it’s here.

Thank you so much.

Then, there’s this key that’s placed with it, do you know who it belongs to?

Manager:

E, eh~!? A key you say~?

Hmm, I have no idea at all~

Director:

(He sounds a bit too monotone somehow…)

Manager:

If it’s an important key, someone might be troubled out there, why don’t you go check the room one by one and see how they’re doing~?

Director:

Eh? I don’t need to do that, I’ll check with everyone through LIME--

Manager:

It might be a key to a secret room that they don’t want other people to find out about you know!?

Director:

(What kind of room is that even…

Well, there are some people doing errands now, it’s true that a key is something private as well, I guess I’ll go and hear from them directly.)

Then, I’ll be going.

Manager:

Have fun~!

Director:

(Which room should I start with--)

4th Anniversary The Key To Daydreaming: Autumn’s Door - Event Translation

I’m back~ Nids will be translating the Summer part of this event story, so I will be going straight to the ending/epilogue after this~ Anyway, bias time, but, Taichi is so precious. Another random thing though, my mind was kinda in error for a while, I kept trying to translate ‘musume’ as little girl, then I realized, ‘young lady’ actually works well enough XD

The recorded video for Autumn will be here: AUTUMN’S DOOR

4th Anniversary The Key to Daydreaming: Secret Key / / Spring’s Door / / Autumn’s Door / / Winter’s Door / / Opening the Future Door with You

Director:

Umm…

What key is this I wonder.

*ping*

Oh? A LIME message.

<LIME starts>

Banri:

Director-chan, have you bought the magazine that I asked before?

<LIME ends>

Director:

(Ah. Right, he asked me to help him buy a magazine when I was out shopping before…

I have to unload a lot of stuffs that time, I postponed unloading the non-food items to the last and I completely forgot about it…!)

<LIME starts>

Director:

Sorry! I bought it, but it’s still in the car.

Banri:

I see. Sorry, but I need it as a reference for my university assignment, do you mind getting it fast?

I’m outside right now, but I’ll give you a call when I’m back in dorm.

Director:

Understood. I will take it from the car.

<LIME ends>

Director:

I should go to the garage as early as possible.

…Hmm?

(There’s a paper pasted in front of Room 104)

‘Unlocked’…

???:

“Of course, that’s no good!”

Director:

(Eh? Just now, Banri-kun’s voice?

But, Banri-kun went out earlier…

What’s the meaning of this. It sounds like an argument too, I’m quite worried…

…Let’s take a look for a bit)

<Shifts to Room 104>

Shinbashi?:

“If you say that, even if it’s just a prank just now, you might get caught by the police one day!”

Moran?:

“There’s something called necessary evil in this world.

Even if it looks like a criminal act to you, there are people who will be saved by it.”

Shinbashi?:

“But a bad deed is still evil.

Even you learn about differentiating good and bad in moral lesson right.”

Director:

(Those are… Shinbashi and Moran!?

It seems like there’s an argument between the hot-blooded new teacher, Shinbashi, and Moriarty’s underling, Moran.

Hmm, regardless, this situation is…

An etude practice maybe?)

Shinbashi:

“… Ah, certainly, there are cases of educators who uses disciplinary actions for  students who misbehave and it works sometimes.”

Moran:

“So you finally understand.”

Shinbashi:

“Speaking of which, I became an educator due to that kind of teacher, even that student ended up being called teacher now.”

Moran:

“Teacher…? So, you’re a teacher.”

Shinbashi:

“Yeah. I’m still a fledgling though.”

Moran:

“I see, you too…”

Shinbashi:

“You too? You mean, you’re actually a teacher as well?”

Moran:

“No… It’s not me, but instead, I’m following a teacher.”

Shinbashi:

“I see. Even you have someone that you trust.

For you to be able to meet such a reliable teacher like that, it’s once in a lifetime treasure!

About that person, make sure you cherish him.”

Moran:

“…”

Director:

(Moran doesn’t reply, but I’m sure he actually agreed with him.

It fits well somehow?)

Moran:

“…By the way.

You’ve been eavesdropping since earlier, who are you.”

Director:

!? Wha, yes!

Shinbashi:

“Oi!

Even if it’s just a toy, it’s not good to suddenly point a gun at people…”

Moran:

“You, what do you want.”

Director:

Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I heard voices that sounds like people arguing just now—

I thought some of our troupe members were quarreling, but apparently…

Moran:

“Our troupe member… Are you a person who guides others as well.”

Shinbashi:

“Ah, perhaps it’s our fault?

I’m sorry to surprise you.”

Director:

It’s fine. Even so, Banri-kun and Juza-kun too, you two fits amazingly well into the role.

Moran:

“…?”

Shinbashi:

“Banri-kun, Juza-kun…?”

Director:

(Ah, I guess the etude is still going on.

Maybe it’s a better idea to match them for now)

Eh, umm, by the way, what were the two of you doing?

Moran:

“By a request, I was investigating around this area.”

Shinbashi:

“As for me, I was asked to check for a student who didn’t come to school, that’s why I ended up here.

And then, I met this guy by chance, when I was about to ask if he knows that student—

I realized he was behaving quite suspiciously.

Afterwards, I just dashed carefully towards him.

But, after hearing his story, he doesn’t seem to be a bad guy.”

Director:

(Ah, as expected of Shinbashi… So straightforward)

Shinbashi:

“Oh, this is not the time for small talk.

I need to find that student quickly.”

Moran:

“I can’t keep dawdling in this kind of place as well.”

Director:

Ah, wait a minute…

Shinbashi:

“Then, see you!”

Moran:

“…”

Director:

(They went off.

Ah, speaking of which, I should have asked the two of them if they know anything about this key…)

<End of Chapter 3>

Director:

(Even so, I wonder what was that just now.

Where did those two go after that?

Hmm? Someone’s running this way…?)

Mikami?:

“Huff, huff…

Wh, what should I do…!”

Director:

(Now it’s Taichi-kun?

As I thought, he’s wearing the costume from the Mixed Play performance…

He looks like he’s in a hurry, I wonder what happened. Let’s try to ask him)

<Shifts to Room 105>

Mikami?:

“It’s not here either…”

Director:

Are you alright? Are you looking for something?

Mikami?:

“Woah!?”

Director:

Oh, umm, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.

Mikami:

“Eh, umm, it’s…”

Director:

(Hmm, this feeling… It this perhaps, the continuation of the etude with Banri-kun earlier)

Mikami:

“Ex, excuse me!

Do you happen to find a lost earring around here?”

Director:

An earring…?

(I see. Mikami doesn’t have an earring on one of his ear)

Mikami:

“You don’t know, of course…

Sorry for raising my voice suddenly.”

Igarashi:

“…Hmm?”

Director:

(! It’s Igarashi this time…!)

Mikami:

“Ex, excuse me!

Do you happen to find a lost earring around here?”

Igarashi:

“An earring, perhaps it’s this one?”

Mikami:

“--! It’s this one!”

Igarashi:

“I found it on the roadside earlier, so I picked it up.

I was thinking of delivering it to a police box but—

What, is it an important thing of yours?”

Mikami:

“Yeah. It’s from Kikukawa… Eh, umm, it’s from my partner who made this outfit, it’s an important item of mine.

I’m glad I found it…

Thank you, thank you so much…!”

Igarashi:

“You don’t need to thank me so much, I’m getting embarrassed here somehow.”

Director:

I’m glad you found it safely.

Igarashi:

“Yeah.

Don’t lose it again, take good care of it.”

Mikami:

“Yeah!

Ah, it’s time for the shooting…!

The two of you, thank you so much!”

Igarashi:

“There he goes. Haha, he come and goes like a storm.

Speaking of which, who are you?”

Director:

Umm, just someone who happened to pass by…

(Right, speaking of lost items!)

Excuse me, speaking of lost item, I also picked up this key earlier.

Do you know anything about it?

Igarashi:

“Hmm~ I have no idea about it.

Somehow, I ended up dealing with a lot of lost items today.”

Director:

Ahaha, true that.

Sorry, thank you though.

Igarashi:

“Then, can I ask you a question now?”

Kouhei… Ah, of course you won’t know him. Have you seen a high school student with black hair, one wearing a green-colored uniform like mine?”

Director:

No, I haven’t seen him…

Igarashi:

“I see… Then, if you happen to see him, can you tell him that Igarashi will be waiting at the meeting place first.”

Director:

Eh? Ah, alright, understood.

Igarashi:

“Thank you for your help.”

<Shifts to Courtyard>

Director:

(The Kouhei that he meant, I’m sure he’s speaking about Azami.

I wonder if he meant to ask me to go to Room 106 in a roundabout way.

I’m already this far in, I guess I’ll go)

… As I thought.

In Room 106 there’s also a paper written ‘Unlocked’ on it.

(The door’s slightly open as well, let’s take a look at the situation)

<Shifts to Room 106>

Kouhei?:

“…”

Seimei?:

“…”

Director:

(As I thought, it’s Kouhei and Seimei.

But, there seems to be a terrible mood here somehow…)

Seimei:

“I heard the news about the apparition, a lone child…

What are you doing here.”

Kouhei:

“It’s already the end of school hour, there’s nothing weird with a student walking around.

Well…

I kinda skipped class today though.”

Seimei:

“…You mean, you abandoned what you are supposed to do and wander around instead.”

Kouhei:

“…There’s something that I don’t like there, that’s why I slipped out.

You don’t know anything about me, don’t just say anything you like.”

Seime:

“What?”

Kouhei:

“Speaking of which, do you even have time to waste on me.

You seem to be busy grumbling about the so called apparition, are you sure you’re alright?”

Seimei:

“… I see.

According to Kou, our way of… Hmm?”

Director:

!

Seimei:

“So you’re there!”

Director:

Please wait a minute! Yo, you got it wrong!

(I jumped out in a hurry, but I feel that this already happened before, what a dejavu…)

About that, I just happened to pass by here.

Seime:

“You’re also here by chance huh… It’s so confusing.”

Kouhei:

“We were just walking though, the one poking into our business is you isn’t it.”

Seimei:

“…”

Director:

(They’re back to this terrible mood…!

I have to change the topic somehow)

Ri, right. Kouhei-kun.

Kouhei:

“?”

Director:

Just now, Igarashi asked me to tell you that he will be heading to the meeting place first.

Kouhei:

“Seriously, this is bad… I have to head there immediately.

Thank you for the message. Then, I’ll be going first.”

Seimei:

“Wait.”

Kouhei:

“What is it? You still have something to say?”

Seimei:

“You, do you happen to know of a place called ‘Garage’?”

Kouhei:

“I don’t know. Why don’t you just ask that thing you call Shikigami?”

Director:

(Garage… Right, at the beginning I was supposed to go to the garage to pick up the magazine)

Seimei:

“…Your face told me that you know something about it.

Young lady, can I ask for your guidance to bring me to this place called ‘Garage’.”

Director:

M, me?

I was about to go there, I guess. I don’t really mind…

Seimei:

“I appreciate it. Then, let’s go.”

<End of Chapter 4>

Igarashi:

“Oh, Kouhei?

You’re from just now! ... And, who?”

Seimei:

“…? The apparition’s presence seems to be leading me here.”

Igarashi:

“An apparition? Also that look… Are you a medium or something?”

Kouhei:

“Sorry for being late, Kouhei-san—

…Ah. You’re here again."

Seimei:

“The kid from just now huh.”

Shinbashi:

“I found you!

You’re the student who skipped school right.”

Kouhei:

“No, I only skipped 5 times.”

Igarashi:

“Kouhei, did you skip school again?”

Kouhei:

“…There’s just something that I hate today. I’ll properly come to school tomorrow onwards.”

Igarashi:

“I see… You should tell me if you get bullied again.”

Shinbashi:

“Bullied…? Do you get bullied in school!?”

Kouhei:

“It’s an old story, I don’t really get bullied nowadays.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter to you right.”

Shinbashi:

“Of course, it matters. As a lecturer, I want to be the student’s strength!”

Kouhei:

“Sigh…”

Seimei:

“…”

Director:

! Why do you suddenly assume that stance, what’s happening?

Seimei:

“The conflict might appear due to the evil spirit…”

Moran:

“What a dumb assumption… Of course, that’s not the case.

I marked you because you’re one of my target, but after hearing you, you’re less than a scammer, you’re basically just spitting out delusions.”

Seimei:

“What…?”

Director:

Wa, wait, everyone please calm down…!

(Somehow the atmosphere turns horrible on every side… What to do)

Mikami:

“I made it just in time…!”

Director:

!

Mikami:

“Pleased to work with you today!”

Together:

“…”

Mikami:

“…Eh, eh? Isn’t today’s shooting supposed to be here…”

Igarashi:

“Ah, you’re the one from earlier…”

Mikami:

“Yeah! Thank you for earlier.

So you’re also involved in today’s shooting.”

Igarashi:

“Shooting?”

Mikami:

“Yeah. Everyone too, you’re all wearing the costumes for the shooting… Right?”

Together:

“…”

Kouhei:

“…Pu.”

Igarashi:

“Hahahaha!”

Moran:

“Sigh…”

Mikami:

“Eh? Eh?”

Shinbashi:

“Haha, everyone has their own business, it just happened that we ended up gathering here.”

Igarashi:

“A mysterious coincidence huh.”

Kouhei:

“Geez, what the hell. Anyway, you too, you have something to do here?”

Director:

! Ye, yeah. I come by to pick up a thing that I forgot.

Moran:

“So, you too.

Really, this story sounds like a miracle. It’s hard to believe.”

Director:

(Before we realized, the arguments and quarrels from earlier have disappeared.

Fufu. But the view just now, really looks like the usual Autumn Troupe…)

Igarashi:

“Speaking of which, have you found out more about the key from earlier?”

Director:

…! Right.

Truthfully, I haven’t gotten any clue.

(Now is the chance to ask everyone at one go)

I picked up this key earlier, does anyone here know anything about it?

Kouhei:

“No, it’s not mine.”

Moran:

“I don’t know.”

Seimei:

“Not that I can recall.

It’s a very unusual looking key.”

Mikami:

“Umm, it’s not mine either.

Sorry, I can’t be of any help.”

Shinbashi:

“Umm, it’s not mine too.”

Director:

I see… Understood.

Everyone, thank you so much.

Igarashi:

“A lost key, huh. I’m curious somehow.

I wonder what’s supposed to be opened using that key?”

Moran:

“The reasonable answer should be a door isn’t it?”

Seimei:

“It might be a storage as well.”

Mikami:

“A treasure chest maybe…?”

Kouhei:

“There’s a possibility for it to be a vehicle key too.”

Shinbashi:

“Well, whatever it opens—

What awaits it in the future has to be decided by the person who opens it.”

Seimei:

“…Ah. Ultimately, a key marks the beginning after all.”

Director:

--

Igarashi:

“Then, we’ll be going for soccer practice now, I guess this is goodbye.”

Shinbashi:

“Yeah, good luck.

You too, you’re going to school tomorrow right.”

Kouhei:

“Understood.”

Shinbashi:

“Then, I’ll be going back too. I still have some papers to mark.”

Moran:

“…I’ve completed the request. I shall go back to Sensei’s place.”

Seimei:

“The presence of the apparition has disappeared as well…

I guess I should promptly return.

Young lady, thank you for your guidance.”

Director:

You’re welcome.

Mikami:

“… Excuse me.”

Director:

Hmm?

Mikami:

“That key’s owner, please look for him.

Perhaps, just like me, there might be someone out there who is in trouble after losing it.”

Director:

… Yeah, understood.

<Shifts to Courtyard>

Director:

(In the end, I still don’t know anything about that etude…)

Ultimately, a key marks a beginning.

It’s up to you to decide what to do ahead of it…

(Anyway, the stance to open up the path using your own power, that sounds like Autumn Troupe alright.

The thing that this key will open in the future, I wonder what it will be)

Alright, I’ll continue to look for the owner of this key…

…Ah.

Oops, I forgot about the magazine.

(But when I thought about the etude earlier, I’m sure he contacted me because he knows, it’s Banri-kun’s after all)

… I’ll go and get it later, let’s leave a LIME message for Banri-kun for now…
