Shinobu: Woaaaah....... So this is the stage for the "Wisteria Festival", Kachouen*.
*T/N: "Kakegawa Kachouen" is a real place. It's an amusement park in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shinobu: There's so many birds, they're kind of scary-de gozaru.
Kanata: Yes, they are. Scary.
Chiaki: Hm?! You look so blatantly scared?!
Chiaki: Fuhaha! What, what's wrong? Both of you have no energy!
Chiaki: It'll be fine! All living beings are friends who were born on the same planet! So it's not scary, not at all...... ☆
Chiaki: Rest easy! On the rare chance a bird actually tries to attack you, I'll chase it off! ♪
Shinobu: Urgh. I'd feel bad if you did that, the bird didn't do anything wrong-de gozaru.
Chiaki: Exactly! You just said something good! So good that I want to frame it and hang it up!
Kanata: You're so energetic~, Chiaki....... I'm almost jealous.
Kanata: I find all this to be very "troublesome". It's a holiday, so why are we "working"~?
Chiaki: Don't say that. If we help with the "Wisteria Festival", Mikejima-san promised to stop doing slasher-like things.
Chiaki: Let's do the best we can so we can protect Yumenosaki Academy's peace.
Kanata: Urgh~. That person will just forget his "promise"~....... Irresponsible, or is it too carefree?
Chiaki: Ahaha. Mikejima-san's just a really talented person who doesn't care for small details. Really, it's impossible to put geniuses on the same scale with average people.
Shinobu: Hmm. Captain-dono, you think of that weird person strangely well-de gozaru.
Chiaki: That's because he's a legendary predecessor. Sengoku, make sure you watch and learn from Mikejima-san.
Chiaki: If he were Ryuuseitai's captain, then everything would be solved without any of you needing to suffer and toil.
Shinobu: No thanks~........ That person has a large frame, carries a lot of impact, and he's scary, so I'm satisfied with the easy-to-befriend Captain-dono.
Chiaki: Hm? You're not good with big people, Sengoku? Then are you scared of Takamine or Kanata too?
Shinobu: Umm~. When I spoke to Midori-kun, he was unexpectedly normal and didn't seem like he could hurt a fly, so....... But with Shinkai-dono, truthfully, I don't really understand him so he's kind of scary.
Kanata: Huh?! I'm scary? It's alright~, I won't eat you, you know?
Chiaki: Fufu. Even more reason why you should try deepening your friendship during this "Wisteria Festival".
Chiaki: If only Nagumo and Takamine were free, then they could've participated in this "Wisteria Festival" too......
Chiaki: But this time, it's not a job for "Ryuuseitai", nor are we the main stars.
Chiaki: If we just undertake the job when we have no motivation, it'll just cause trouble for the others.
Kanata: Were you someone that cared about causing trouble for others....... Chiaki?
Shinobu: Captain-dono~. Kids nowadays might seem like they don't care, but they'll properly do as they're told-de gozaru.
Shinobu: It would be easier on them if you just pulled them in without hesitating-de gozaru.
Chiaki: Really?
Chiaki: But I just don't like it...... I can't sweep away the thought that I'd just be using "an ally of justice" as an excuse to forcefully drag them along.
Chiaki: That said. They seem to have some sort of extracurricular lesson today, so I can't have them skip that.
Chiaki: It's important to attend class, after all.
Chiaki: That's why "Ryuuseitai" was off today in the first place.
Chiaki: But Mikejima-san came back~, and I can't really refuse any favor he asks of me.
Shinobu: Does he know a weak point of yours or something?
Chiaki: Something like that. One day I'll talk about it, that day when I took over his soul of justice.
Kanata: Rather than "took over", wasn't it "forced to take on"?
Chiaki: Fufu. It was already in me, so he just kind of lit it for me.
Chiaki: Anyway. Let's quickly meet up with the other participants, then greet the organizers or start practice or something else.
Chiaki: There's not much time before the day of the "Wisteria Festival".
Chiaki: This time, you'll be working with someone new....... So you need to quickly match your breaths.
Chiaki: To top that off, it's a live for individuals, not "units", so we're unused to it.
Kanata: Fufu. But for me, it's like my "former home".
Chiaki: A familiar old home, huh. Well-phrased, the "Five Oddballs" normally acted alone, after all.
Shinobu: Umm, "Five Oddballs"? Don't you mean "Three Oddballs"......?
Mitsuru: Make way, make way, make waaaaaay~?!
Shinobu: U-waaaaah?!
Kanata: Woah?! Shinobu~, suddenly jumping is a big "no", you know?
Chiaki: What's going on? That person is...... the one who rushed by, was that the kid from the Track and Field Club?
Chiaki: We've been doing lessons together to prepare for the "Wisteria Festival", so I remember him!
Chiaki: I think it was, Tenma? Why was he rushing, was someone chasing him? It smells like something happened!
Shinobu: Tenma-kun is almost always dashing around though......
Shinobu: Even in class, he'll suddenly start running around, so one time Kunugi-sensei got mad and tied him to his seat-de gozaru.
Kanata: He really "loves" running, doesn't he~. I don't really "understand" that "feeling" though.
Mitsuru: ......it's dangerouu--?!
Chiaki: Uwoah, he fell down?! Are you okaaaaaaay?! I'm coming to help you!
Kanata: Mm~m, I don't really understand, but...... let's go too, Shinobu.
Shinobu: Roger-de gozaru! Being the only first year among a bunch of upperclassmen makes me nervous....... so honestly, having Tenma-kun here is a big relief-de gozaru~ ♪
