Tsubaki: | Toya, there’s no need for you to apologize. |
Toya: | Tsubaki... |
Tsubaki: | That time, you just can’t let a gap to open up on the stage, so you forced yourself to perform, right? That was admirable. |
Tsubaki: | Thanks to you performing, we were able to safely make the live a success. A live of all four Tenjyou Tenge members together! |
Tsubaki: | But… Even though I knew that you weren’t feeling well, I said nothing and let you stand on the stage. |
Tsubaki: | And that’s why I have to apologize to you. I’m really sorry, Toya. |
Toya: | What are you saying? That time, Tatsumi, Aoi, and Tsubaki, all of you backed me, who was feeling unwell, up, right?! |
Toya: | I’ve caused you trouble… I’m really, really sorry… |
Toya: | (That’s right… If only I didn’t get on the stage in the first place, the three of them would’ve been able to put on a greater concert… after all, I’m...) |
Toya: | (... I was originally a mere assistant.) |
Toya: | … Originally, my status was that of a mere assistant. Even if I’m not around, the three of you would be able to success the concert- |
Tsubaki & Tatsumi & Aoi: | That's not true!!! |
Toya: | !? |
Tsubaki: | I said it before, didn’t I? ‘All four Tenjyou Tenge members together’, right!? |
Tsubaki: | If we left anyone of us out, then it wouldn’t be a Tenjyou Tenge concert anymore! |
Aoi: | Do you think there is anyone who can replace Toya in terms of gracefulness when dancing? It’s definitely impossible for Tsubaki and Tatsumi. |
Aoi: | And I’d say, I can barely do it… Because I have my own role to fulfill. |
Tatsumi: | Toya said it earlier, right? That each of us has amazing techniques. |
Tatsumi: | To draw out each of our techniques, we need to focus solely on them on our own. That’s why, we can’t just throw anyone away here! |
Toya: | Everyone.... |
Tsubaki: | That’s why, Toya. We need you! Don’t make me say it twice, okay? |
Toya: | ... Okay! |
Tsubaki: | Yup! That's a good answer! |
Toya: | *chuckles* … Nevertheless, it’s funny that we’re apologizing to each other! |
Aoi: | Yeah, really. We can’t show something this unsightly to our juniors… |
Tatsumi: | Right. There’s no way I’d want to show them something that’s so not cool like this! |
Tsubaki: | Means that we still have a long way to go, isn’t it… It’ll still take some time until we’re acknowledged as idols… |
Tsubaki: | But, as long as we have a goal, then we just have to go on with all our might! |
Toya: | Yes! I feel that we’ll be able to have a wonderful performance today! |
*knock knock* | |
Aoi: | Oh my, could it be a guest? Come in. |
*ker-chak* | |
Michiru: | Pardon my intrusion. |
Michiru: | I came because I’d like to greet Toya-san. |
Toya: | Me? |
Michiru: | Yes. Today, I’m assigned to dance behind Tenjyou Tenge as your back dancer. |
Michiru | Actually, I… I really respect Toya-san, and that’s why, I’d like to convey this happiness of being allowed to dance together like this to the person himself. |
Toya: | Respecting me.... |
Michiru: | Yes! Like Toya-san, I’d like to perform gracefully… yet calmly and beautifully! |
Toya: | I see. How reliable! Please assist me today, Michiru-san. |
Michiru: | Yes! I apologize for intruding before the live. Once again, I’m looking forward to working with you! |
*ker-chak* | |
Toya: | .... |
Tsubaki: | He said he respected you. With this, you’re getting more aware that Tenjyou Tenge needs to be made of four people, right? |
Toya: | You’re right! I’m an existence needed in Tenjyou Tenge! |
Toya: | Tsubaki, Tatsumi, Aoi! We’re going full throttle today to reclaim what we lacked on our previous live! Please follow me! |
Tsubaki & Tatsumi & Aoi: | Yeah! |
Tsubaki: | Geez, that last line usually would be for me to say, though! |
Toya: | *chuckles* Let me copy you for a bit, Tsubaki. |
Tsubaki: | That gutsy attitude is exactly what my ex-assistant should have! Help me from my side from now on too, okay? |
Toya: | Of course! Then, let’s go to the stage where fans are waiting for us! |
Toya: | (Even if I’m feeling unwell, I have comrades who will support me. There are people who need me!) |
Toya: | (What a refreshing feeling. It’s almost like I can even climb up to the sky.) |
Toya: | (No, no, I can’t do that. I’m still an inexperienced I-Chu after all!) |
Toya: | (First, I have to keep my feet planted on the ground and success the concert with all my might!) |
Toya: | Tonight, we shall bewitch the princesses! We are the four greatest flowers upon heaven and earth, the ones that brought buds to bloom! |
Toya: | *chuckles* Please watch us to the very end! |
