Tatsumi: | …Ah. |
Aoi: | ..... |
Tatsumi: | Um… Mornin’. |
Aoi: | …Good morning. |
Tatsumi: | S-so, hey– |
Aoi: | Well, see you… |
Tatsumi: | Ah… |
Producer: | We’ll end here for today. Everyone should get going to where they each have to be, okay? |
Tatsumi: | Aoi! I have to talk to you about someth– |
Aoi: | Sorry, but I’ve got something to take care of at the library. I’ll hear you out next time. |
Tatsumi: | …Damn it! |
Tatsumi: | (Aoi’s been avoiding me all day… What the hell should I do? Even though I want to apologize to him, I can’t…) |
Leon: | Tatsumi… Are you okay? |
Tatsumi: | Ah… Of course, I’m fine. |
Leon: | If I hadn’t invited you out back then, then none of this would’ve happened. I’m really sorry! |
Tatsumi: | !!! Don’t apologize! I was actually really happy that you invited me out, y'know? |
Tatsumi: | There’s no need for you to worry about what’s going on with Aoi and me. |
Tatsumi: | I mean, it’s not like Aoi’s a demon or anything. If I give him some time, I’m sure he’ll listen to what I have to say. |
Leon: | Tatsumi… |
Tatsumi: | I’m gonna go get some air on the roof. See ya! |
Leon: | Ahhh, this is a total mess! |
Tsubaki: | And yet you continuously worrying about it isn’t going to solve anything, will it? |
Leon: | Ack, Tsubaki! |
Tsubaki: | Yo! Looks like their fight’s going on a little long this time, isn’t it? |
Toya: | I knew it… It really would have been better if I’d gone after him and brought him back when all of that happened… |
Tsubaki: | Well, no use getting upset about things that are too late to change, right? All you can do now is watch over them. |
Toya: | Oh, come on! What kind of thoughtless things are you saying? This all happened because you kept me from going after him in the first place, Tsubaki! |
Tsubaki: | Huh? Is that what happened? |
Toya: | ~~! |
Tsubaki: | S-Sorry! Don’t be so grouchy, Toya. |
Toya: | I am not being grouchy! Sigh… But this isn’t the time or place for us to be fighting, too. |
Tsubaki: | You’re right. Now then, what do we do about this… |
Leon: | Tsubaki! Toya! |
Toya: | Oh? Leon-kun. What’s the matter? |
Leon: | Um, actually, there’s something I need the both of your help with… |
Tsubaki: | Oh-ho! I’ve got a hunch this’ll be something interesting! |
Toya: | …Tsubaki. |
Tsubaki: | Uh, I’ll cut it out with the jokes. Now then, what exactly do you want us to help you out with, Leon? |
Leon: | Okay. Well, it’s… |
Tatsumi: | I just noticed… the sun’s already starting to set, ain’t it? |
Tatsumi: | I skipped out on practice again… But even if I had gone, then Aoi would have just been nasty to me… |
Tatsumi: | And I still haven’t apologized to him… |
Tatsumi: | (Even though the timing was bad, I really was in the wrong back then…) |
Tatsumi: | (It wasn’t very good of me to feel so self-conscious and jealous towards Aoi, just like how a little kid would feel.) |
Tatsumi: | (But on the other hand, I still can’t agree with their selfish decision to make him the leader. Why didn’t they ask for at least a little bit of my input…?) |
Tatsumi: | I wonder if they really think that I’m that unreliable… |
???: | Tatsumi, did you have a fight with Aoi-san? |
Tatsumi: | Yeah. And then I completely missed out on a good time to apolo– Wait, eh? |
Mao Wajima: | Geez… If you had a fight with him, then you’ve gotta patch things up! |
Tatsumi: | …So it was Mao, huh? Hey, why’s it that Aoi gets a “-san” and I don’t? |
Mao Wajima: | Don’t worry about little things like that! |
Tatsumi: | Uuu… You really had to go for a sore spot there, didn’t ya? |
Mao Wajima: | Haha! But anyway, getting back to what we were talking about– If you don’t make up soon, even if you fight, then things will get a lot worse in no time at all, right? |
Tatsumi: | Things with Aoi really are getting awkward, somehow… |
Tatsumi: | And since I was so stubborn and didn’t go to practice this time, either, I’m gonna ultimately end up causing problems for everyone in Tenjyou Tenge… |
Mao Wajima: | Cheer up, Tatsumi. The way you need to be looked after so much is just like Jimpachi! |
Tatsumi: | Shaddup… Sigh. To think that I’m being cheered on by an elementary schooler… |
Tatsumi: | They’re all going to run out of patience with the way I’m acting… Not just Aoi, but Tsubaki and Toya, too… |
Leon: | They’re not the kind of guys who’d think that, are they? |
Tatsumi: | Wah! L-Leon! It’s you again? Don’t worry about what happened befo– |
Leon: | No, that’s not it! I’ve got some business with you, Tatsumi, so I’ve been looking for you! |
Tatsumi: | Business with me? |
Leon: | Yup! I’m just relaying this from Tsubaki and Toya, but they said you’ve all received a new gig all of a sudden, and that you should hurry over to where they are! |
Tatsumi: | What!? A gig, right now? It’s already getting close to nighttime, isn’t it? |
Leon: | Yeah. They said that the person who was actually supposed to perform suddenly came down with something. |
Leon: | So they put in a fast request to the producer, and she decided that Tenjyou Tenge would go on in their place. |
[shift] | |
Leon: | Here, take this. Tsubaki told me to tell you that this is the address you should go to! |
Tatsumi: | Whaaat!? Did they all go there already? |
Leon: | That’s right. They said that the show starts at 6 PM, so you’d better hurry and go meet up with them, right? |
Tatsumi: | Geh–!? But that’s only an hour away! |
Leon: | Come on, Tatsumi! You’ve gotta hurry! |
Mao Wajima: | C'mon, Tatsumi! Hurry, hurry! |
Tatsumi: | Yeah! Leon, thanks for the message! And thanks for listening to me, Mao! |
Leon: | Good luck–! |
Mao Wajima: | Good luck–! Phew… We’ve sure gotta look after him, huh? |
Leon: | Don’t we, though? …Now then, the stage is set! Now Tatsumi just has to do his best! |
