riayainepilogue part 1
Madara: Here I go, Mitsuru-san! High, so hiiiiiiiiiiigh........ ☆
Mitsuru: Hahya ♪ I'm so high~!
Madara: Hahaha! Right, right, this is the Track and Field Club's secret technique, the flying leap*!
*T/N: The actual term (yasoutobi, 八艘飛び) actually came from the Battle of Dannoura. They would jump from ship to ship to fight. Minamoto (Genji) was famous for doing this to escape a particular enemy, Noritsune's, attacks.
Madara: Having a light body sure is great, I just hurled you into the air!
Mitsuru: You have incredible arm power, Mikejima-senpai! I'm flying in the sky~! I can see all of Kachouen! Ahaha, there's "so many" birds~!
Mitsuru: The flowers are pretty too........ Are these those "wisteria"?
Madara: That's right. That's why it's the "Wisteria Festival"........ I'm so jealous Mitsuru-san. What a great view, what a splendid view*! Is it kind of like that?
*T/N: The actual line comes from a line in the kabuki play "Kinmon/Sanmon Gosan no Kiri". The kabuki actor says this while watching an entire mountain full of blooming cherry blossom trees.
Madara: But don't forget to sing, okay? Also, if you struggle, you might open your wound, and if you aren't careful, it could lead to an incident, so pay attention!
Madara: Well, no matter what happens, I plan to follow up thoroughly ♪
Mitsuru: Ah! Sorry, I forgot to sing! The scenery stole all of my attention, you know~?
Mitsuru: But I'm also an idol! I'll sing with all my heart and soul~!
Mitsuru: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪
Madara: Ahaha. Even though you're in the air and unable to move, you're still singing without any sign of fear! Splendid, wonderful, you're definitely a promising kid........ ♪
Madara: The song's still rather roughly put together. It could use a bit more passion, but it's still pleasant to the ears! I don't plan to lose in singing, so let's harmonize........ everyone ♪
Madara: In this very moment, let's play this miraculous ensemble! Let's risk even our lives to satisfy everyone in this ephemeral festivaaaaaal!
Madara: This world is but a fleeting dream, all those haughty and prideful shall eventually crumble....... That's what makes it interesting! Hahahaha ☆
Madara: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪
Kanata: Fufu. Those two look like they're "playing around".
Kanata: But they're not holding back and the guests all seem "extremely happy", so...... I'm sure this was the "correct" answer.
Kanata: I also want....... to perform a more and more "fun" live.
Kanata: With everyone.
Kanata: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪
Souma: (Hmph. What exactly is this, I wonder. Perhaps it's because I am yet inexperienced, but everything's progressing before I can fully grasp the situation.)
Souma: (But. Still, it's extremely fun. As if I was being carried away by rough waves, only to suddenly stumble upon this world's paradise.)
Souma: (The sensation really feels like I've been bewitched by a fox*.)
*T/N: "Bewitched by a fox" means that things have gone in a strange direction, so they're completely confused and clueless on what to do.

Souma: (What a strange man, Mikejima-dono is......... The slasher who caused chaos in Yumenosaki Academy.)
Souma: (For a scoundrel who caused chaos in every way possible, no matter how you look at it, he's living life to the fullest.)
Souma: (So much that it's irritating. Guess there are guys like that too.)
Souma: (In the end, that's what "idols" are. Talented people that can push various flowers to bloom.)
Souma: (No matter happens, flowers will be flowers. They're beautiful, loved things that are loved by many.)
Souma: (I wonder what sins a flower carries.)
Souma: (Mikejima-dono too....... is a friend who shares the same motive as me.)
Souma: (I'm also starting to bloom like a flower.)
Souma: (Minamotokurou Yoshitsune's outfit is still too big for me. But one day, I hope to believe that this role was destined for me........)
Souma: (I will embrace your big will and proudly display this dance.)
Souma: (I pray that like Yoshitsune, I can evade a tragic conclusion.)
Souma: (While praying for your divine protection, I'll be running through this battlefield they call "life".)
Kanata: .........Souma? You're not "concentrating"~, are you alright?
Souma: Mmmm. It's humiliating to say, but because everything this time is brand new...... it's easy to get distracted, and I find myself difficult to get used to it.
Souma: After all, "Akatsuki's" style has been completely ingrained into me.
Souma: I do find this delightful, but I also find myself lost in activity during unexpected situations such as these. I am still yet inexperienced, I believe.
Kanata: There's nothing wrong with that~. Because Souma is still a "child".
Souma: Hmph........ Captain-dono hasn't changed a bit.
Kanata: Cheeky~. You don't have to hurry to become an "adult", okay. Slowly, leisurely enjoy your "youth".
Kanata: Just bubble, bubble......... ♪
Souma: .........mmm. I've somehow managed to worry you, my sincerest apologies.
Kanata: Fufufu. I do at least "worry". I am, after all, your "club captain"~.
