T/N: OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION THAT HE WAS THE VICE CAPTAIN. now prepare for the inevitable ryuuseitai angst.
Chiaki: Sengoku~! Where are you~?! Tell me!
Kanata: Chiaki. Did you find Shinobu?
Chiaki: No, unfortunately, I lost him. As usual, I don't understand him, that "Mikejima-san"......
Chiaki: Even now, I don't understand his motive for taking Sengoku.
Chiaki: He suddenly came back after a long time of absence, but he's already on a trouble-making spree.
Chiaki: I don't get his intentions, though I do think he might be testing my skills.
Chiaki: Not only is Mikejima-san mostly focused on solo activities, but nobody can keep up with him, so he pretends to be aloof, but......
Chiaki: He unexpectedly loves to get involved with others.
Chiaki: So that's why he picks fights with people he just met or even acquaintances that he hasn't seen for a while.
Chiaki: He's kind of like a twisted demon, right? That's why this might be Mikejima-san's form of "skill testing".
Chiaki: To see if I can properly rescue my ally.
Chiaki: Gauging my abilities as a hero....... he's questioning whether I'm truly worthy to be "Ryuuseitai", an ally of justice.
Chiaki: Though at this rate, I'm going to fail that test.
Kanata: What a troublemaker, that guy is......
Kanata: You don't have to call him with "-san", you know, because he's a "rogue" that doesn't deserve respect.
Chiaki: No, I actually hold a lot of respect for him. He was the previous "Ryuuseitai" vice captain, after all.......
Chiaki: I'm jealous of how he chases after anything he wants without any fear.
Chiaki: Anyway. I contacted Anzu-chan since she knows a lot about what's happening on campus and found out that Mikejima-san's doing something at the basketball court.......
Chiaki: So let's hurry there first. It could be dangerous if Nagumo or Takamine come into contact with Mikejima-san, so let's have them wait in the soundproof practice room.
Kanata: "Understood"~. Though I do think you should "introduce" them to him eventually?
Chiaki: That's true. But right now, saving Sengoku comes first.
Chiaki: Mikejima-san's a genius at overwhelming others, so we have to be cautious on when to let Nagumo and the others meet him.
Kanata: There were "rumors" that all the other previous "members" of "Ryuuseitai" except for Chiaki quit, after all......
Kanata: Because of that "rogue".
Chiaki: It's not Mikejima-san's fault. It was a bad time where too sparkly things sometimes crushed others' glimmer.
Chiaki: Those weak, fragile others that couldn't bear that were in the wrong.
Chiaki: Having someone so great it seemed like he belonged in TV shows or legends by your side, and spending every day with him....... for normal people, that's hard to bear.
Chiaki: Even for me, I only stayed there because I had nowhere else to go.
Kanata: Chiaki, sometimes you're so "negative". That's not good~, I'm "sick" of hearing it.
Chiaki: Sorry. I should always stay positive and smile, right. A hero with a gloomy face just makes everyone uncertain.
Chiaki: ......Let's go, Kanata, to where Mikejima-san is.
Chiaki: Let's have the great predecessor of "Ryuuseitai" determine our "current" worth.
Souma: Look at this! Kanzaki clan's secret technique, the upside down spinning top...... ☆
Madara: Hahaha! Wonderful! You're not just talk, Kanzaki-san! It's gotten interestingggggg ♪
Chiaki: .......What's with all this noise?
Kanata: Ah, Souma's here. He seems to be playing with something......?
Shinobu: Captain-dono~! Shinkai-dono~!
Chiaki: Ohhhh, Sengoku! That's good, you were safe...... ☆
Chiaki: Rest easy! We're here to save you! ♪
Shinobu: Save me? Ahh, that's right, I was being kidnapped?
Shinobu: Nishishi, I was having so much fun, I complete forgot-de gozaru!
Shinobu: I should have reported that I was "completely fine"-de gozaru~!
Chiaki: That's right. But if you're fine, then that's all good.
Chiaki: Are you alright? You didn't get hurt, did you? Good, you did good ♪
Chiaki: Mmm~. Can you "explain" the situation to us, Shinobu?
Shinobu: Understood-de gozaru!
Shinobu: Even I don't fully understand everything, but that person there called Mikejima is currently battling Kanzaki-dono in a game of spinning tops-de gozaru!
Shinobu: Afterwards, I will also battle with him through target shooting, using shurikens-de gozaru~ ♪
Shinobu: We somehow started a huge commotion, which caused a lot of people to start watching us compete-de gozaru......
Shinobu: Aghh, I can't calm down in a crowd full of people-de gozaruuuu.
Chiaki: I see...... that's normal, for that Mikejima-san.
Shinobu: Hmm? Who exactly is this Mikejima person? It seems like Captain-dono knows something about him......?
Chiaki: I do. Putting it simply, he was the previous "Ryuuseitai" vice commander.
Shinobu: Vice commander...... So, he's Shinkai-dono's predecessor, correct?
Chiaki: Yup. As an exchange student, he was scouted overseas and should be working there, but......
Chiaki: It seems that he's come back, that boisterous "festival man".
