 	So sleepy... (Division Battle's preliminaries, huh? Heh, Maybe I should call those two to put them in the mood.)
 	Kuuuuukooooo!!
 	Ah?
 	Take thiiiis!!
 	Uuuuuuuggh!!
 	What did you do to the son of that supporterShakku calls them 檀家さん (danka-san), a term to designate a family which supports a temple.?!
 	Huh? Aaah, that little shithead. He graffitied the gravestone, drank the offering sake and went batshit crazy on the cemetery while he was drunk. Obviously, I had to do something.
 	So that's why... you just went and gave him a buzz cut! And not only that... but even to the father?!
 	It's shared responsibility! He holds a great responsibility for raising such an idiot!
 	You're as much of an idiot as him!
 	Don't mess with me!
 	Haa... haa...
 	Good grief... Just when I thought you were less objectionable... You haven't changed a bit from back then! If you continue like this, you'll never be able to guide people!
 	What did you say?!
 	I'm making an assertion! You're not fit to be the leader of Hitoya-kun and Jyushi-kun the way you are now!
 	Ngh... Fucking Dad, daring to look so important... Just watch!
 	
Fans 	Kyaah!~
 	Well then, on the night of the next full moon... We'll meet again.
Fans 	Jyushi!!~ Don't go!!~
Bandmate A 	Well, we're getting pretty popular now, huh?
Bandmate B 	Yeah! We even replaced the main event last time. Right, Umura?
Umura 	You know... I have something I need to say.
 	Something you need to say?
Umura 	I'm... going to leave the band starting today.
Bandmate A 	Haaaa?? What are we gonna do without you?!
 	Why...? What's the reason?
Uozaki 	I'll take over from here.
Bandmate A 	Who are you guys?
 	...!
Uozaki 	Yo, it's been a while... Jyushi.
 	Ugh, Uozaki-kun...!
Bandmate A 	Jyushi, is he an acquaintance of yours?
Uozaki 	Acquaintances? We're more like close friends from middle school, right?
 	!!!
Bandmate B 	J-Jyushi!
Uozaki 	Umura is joining my band starting today.
 	Eh?!
Bandmate A 	Haa? Umura, is that true?!
Umura 	My mom is sick in bed... If I don't earn some money...
 	Umura-kun...
Umura 	I'm sorry. I don't mind if you speak or think bad of me.
Uozaki 	Ah, that's right, Jyushi...
 	?!
Uozaki 	At the result of the Battle of Bands next week, the main event will be decided as well. If you don't find someone to replace this guy on the guitar before next week you won't even be able to participate in the contest! Haha, HAHAHAHA!!
Bandmate A 	What do we do, Jyushi?
 	Eh?! Eeeh...!! ? Kuko-san...?
 	
Lawyer 	Excuse me.
 	Sure. What's wrong?
Lawyer 	In today's trial...
 	I admit I made a mistake but we won, right? You shouldn't complain.
Lawyer 	Yes, but... Hitoya-san. Are you alright?
 	What's that about?
Lawyer 	You've been acting strange since you went to Shinjuku.
 	I'm not a superhero, I can make mistakes too. Looks like I ended up showing you a shameful side of me. I'll be more careful next time.
Lawyer 	I understand. If something ever happens I can lend you some of my strength, even if it might not be really helpful.
 	Thanks, that could save me some trouble. ...Ah? Kuko?
 	
 	Kuko-san, what was it about having something urgent to tell us?
 	For you to say it can't be told over the phone it must be something very important, right?
 	Hehe. Look at this.
 	This is... an announcement about the Division Battle.
 	So it's finally starting, huh...
 	Therefore!
 	Hm?
 	I'm going to guide you both!
 	...
 	What do you mean by "guide"?
 	Isn't it obvious? It's... erm... um...
 	You can't think of anything, can you?
 	You dumbass! It's nothing like that! It's more like... Ah, that's right! First you have to tell me what's bothering you and then I'll straight up solve it for you!
 	Something that's bothering us...?
 	...
 	Hey, Hitoya, where are you going?
 	Can't you see? I'm leaving.
 	!?
 	I-I'm gonna leave as well!
 	Hey, you bastards! Wait up...! Dammit!
 	Haa... That novice...
 	
 	That idiot, I swear... Who does he think he is?
 	Ah... hahaha...
 	Hitoya.
 	What is it?
 	I have a favor to ask.
 	Uhm, I'll go ahead!
 	What kind of favor is it?
 	Well, actually...
 	
 	Haah... It would be impossible for me to live up in the mountains...
Uozaki 	Yo.
 	Ah!!
Uozaki 	Hehehe.
 	Uozaki-kun...!
Uozaki 	You've been acting pretty rude towards me...
 	...!
Uozaki 	Anyhow... It's been a year since I was thrown in the juvenile...
 	T-that's because you guys have...! Ugh..!
Uozaki 	Shut your mouth! You went as far as getting us tossed into jail. Well, I don't give a shit about the other guys. It's because of you that my youth has been a mess!
 	...!
Uozaki 	Jyushi... I'm gonna ruin everything precious to you, so you better be ready for it.
 	...! Crap...
 	
 	Haa...
Receptionist 	Ah, Amaguni, sir!
 	Hm?
Receptionist 	You have a visitor.
 	A visitor?
Receptionist 	Yes, his name is Hitonoki. I've told them to wait in your office.
 	Got it.
Hitonoki 	Hello.
 	Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hitonoki 	My name is Hitonoki.
 	I'm Amaguni. So, what kind of business do you have with me?
Hitonoki 	Well...
 	Hm?
Hitonoki 	I'm the one that told you... about your brother's bullying long ago.
 	!!!
 	
 	Hey, Buddha... do you know what I'm doing wrong? ...Tch, it's not like a statue of Buddha can answer... The Buddha is silent, that's the only answer he'll ever give... That's freaking useless.
 	You cursed bastard!! Take this!
 	Ooouch!
 	What are you doing, calling the Buddha names?!
 	You shitty father!! This head of yours is harder than stone so don't freakin' head butt me!!
 	Stand up.
 	Ah?!
 	Hurry up and stand!
 	'the hell... Here, I'm standing.
 	Kuko, take out your mic.
 	Haa...? What, are you kidding me?
 	...
 	...!! Why do you have a mic...?
 	Kuko. You don't understand the true essence of anything.
 	What did you say?!
 	That's why I'm going to directly carve the real meaning of those words with this.
 	Haa?
 	Take out your mic. I'm sure such weak words like yours won't work against me.
 	You better not regret this, old man! Let's go!
 	Yo, don't head butt me, you violent monk!Restrain yourself and your insatiable hatredIt's sermon, sermon, sermonAgain and again with the head butt set!Which of us is the cursed one?Using ascetic practices as an excuse is really tiringIf you're feeling dizzy this is retributionI'm gonna send you off to Amitabha's Pure Land!Kuko uses 極楽浄土 (Gokuraku Joudo), a term used for a buddhist paradise.
 	Hmph, that's all you've got?
 	W-what...?!
 	Kuko... Your words are too light. I'll make you listen to a genuine sermon!
 	Damn...! (M-my words won't come out...! I also can't counter a single word the old man said...!)
 	Looks like it's over.
 	Kh...!
 	Kuko. You're still young. That's exactly why you should think! Think again and again. It doesn't matter if you go in circles thinking over and over, you might find the answer eventually. However, that process is very important. The thinking process will get you closer to the answer!
 	...!
 	The rest is up to you.
 	...Shit! ...Think, huh...?
 	
 	What the hell are you...?
Hitonoki 	About 10 years ago... I sent you an anonymous letter. It seemed like my guilty conscience would have crushed me otherwise...
 	You're talking about that letter...!
Hitonoki 	When I saw you on the TV for the Division Battle, I had a flashback from that incident in the past... I can no longer run from that case... That's what I thought, so I came to visit.
 	That incident...?
Hitonoki 	The reason why your older brother... Sora Amaguni is not here... Why he's dead... might be because of me...
 	What... do you mean...?
Hitonoki 	The first person that started being bullied... was me. And Sora-kun came to help because he was unable to just stand doing nothing! But then Sora-kun... also started getting bullied. To run from all of that, I changed schools. And then after that, I heard about Sora-kun's death. I was so afraid that I couldn't tell anyone! It's because Sora-kun helped me that he--
 	You better listen very well. There's two things I can't tolerate. First, the Queen's Rum. Second, selfish bastards! Just to put yourself at ease you sent me that letter back then and came here today! You say you wanted to help the deceased's family but in the end it's all for your own peace of mind! Don't give me that shit!
Hitonoki 	Ugh, cough, cough...!
 	Get out of my sight. ...'tch, so that means he was trying to do the right thing until the very end...?
 	
 	Hitoya. You can't do that.
 	Shut up! You might be right, but the world doesn't care about right or wrong!
 	If you don't go to school now, all the effort you put into studying will turn to nothing.
 	No one cares about that!!
 	Don't give up yet! Keep searching for evidence of your older brother's bullying. I'll give a helping hand as much as you want.
 	It's no use! I can't find anything like this, even if I look for it. Even the contents of the letter... in the end no one knows a thing. It's a dead end! I'll just...
 	If you do something like forging evidence, you will be denying all the self-study you wanted so much to achieve. And above anything else... Your older brother wouldn't wish for something like this!
 	As if you'd understand... Don't talk like you understand! What did you know about my brother?!
 	I... really didn't know your brother. But looking at the way you're right now, it seems like you want to pass down the punishment to the wrong-doers for yourself. Vengeance won't give you anything. Why not use this determination to help others in a similar situation instead?
 	Kh...
 	And right now you don't have any proof that those wrong-doers really did it. If you sue them under these circumstances, you might ruin their lives.
 	They drove my older brother to his death and you want them to have their way?! That's it?!
 	I just said it's a possibility.
 	... I don't have anything else to discuss with you. Goodbye.
 	
 	If I could have gotten this testimony back then... Fucking hell!
 	Ah!! O-ouch...
 	Jyushi...? How long have you been standing there...?
 	I-I'm sorry! I-it's nothing!!
 	...
 	(I can't burden Hitoya-san even more when he's in that state... I have to solve this on my own...)
 	
 	I'm home.
Jyushi's Mother 	Welcome back. A friend of yours has come.
 	A friend?
 	Yo.
 	K-Kuko-san...?!
 	You have a lot of CDs... Dreams and Gods are Fake?
 	Ah...! This is the band I admire the most!
 	"Fake", huh? That's one helluva name!
 	YumeMagaThe band's name in Japanese is 夢と神は紛物 (Yume to Kami wa Magaimono) so Jyushi shortens the name to YumeMaga., right? Their songs are obviously amazing but I really love the lyrics!
 	What do they sing about?
 	The lyrics of YumeMaga are basically about a lonely timid young man who's the protagonist! And this young man keeps moving forward no matter how hopeless he is or if he's about to lose! This is the kind of person I admire the most!
 	I see. So that means you've been seeing yourself as the protagonist from the lyrics?
 	I've thought about how much I wanted to become like him. To see myself as him... would be absurd.
 	Is that so? I don't think there's anything absurd about it.
 	?
 	Isn't that right? Even thought I hit you with my rap over and over, you were hesitant but still faced it. And you've also overcome a painful experience from your past, right?
 	...
 	You're someone I've recognized as a powerful person.
 	No way... I'm not like that at all...
 	What you're lacking is confidence. You won't be able to move forward unless you find it yourself. Don't rely on anyone else. That's what "pride" is.
 	Pride...
 	Wish for pride with all you have, and when you feel like your heart is giving in nonetheless, remember you're not alone. This White FalconWhite Falcon is a Guitar brand created by Gretsch. It's a white rounded guitar with gold-sparkle pickguard featuring an engraved falcon., you got it from Hitoya, right?
 	Yes... it's a memento from Hitoya-san's older brother...
 	Keep on striving continuously. And if you feel like falling, then do it. Because Hitoya and I will be there to get you back on your feet no matter what! We're your true companions who'll make up for whatever you're lacking!
 	Kuko-san...
 	I'm gonna borrow that CD! See ya, then.
 	I'm.... NOT! WEAK!! I can do it!!
 	
 	(Shit! I can't find an excuse to break into their rooms... There's nothing I can do to carry this out... If only he had introduced himself at that time... I could have a way of doing it...)
 	Yo.
 	What do you want?
 	Here. Your mic. My shitty father sent his thanks.
 	Heh, did he tie you down tightly?
 	Hahaha! Thanks to you.
 	I'm busy right now. If you're done, hurry up and leave.
 	I'm not done.
 	There's still something you want?
 	I've known you for quite some time. I can do something as simple as noticing you haven't been acting normal lately.
 	There's two things I can't tolerate. First, romance novels. Second, sharp sighted brats.
 	If you say I'm sharp sighted then you recognize there's something troubling you.
 	And what about it? It has nothing to do with you.
 	Heh, I've told you.
 	Told me what?
 	That we're family. And family talk to each other about anything, and help each other! Besides, if you talk about it you might feel better afterwards.
 	...It's somehow related to my older brother. The other day...
 	...I see. So you're telling me that since you can't do anything about it, you're planning on using brute force to kick their asses yourself? I don't know your older brother, but looking at the way you are right now, it seems like you want to punish the wrong-doers for yourself! Vengeance won't give you anything. Why not use your determination to help those in a similar situation instead?
 	...! You too... have said the same thing...
 	The same thing?
 	What you said is the right thing. But even though I know I'm doing something wrong, I have things I just need to do regardless.
 	That won't do you any good.
 	Get out of my way.
 	I'm not doing that.
 	I told you to get the hell out of my way!!
 	If you want to go no matter what, you'll have to beat me up first!
 	Then... I'll do it as you wish! Hurry up and take out your mic.
 	I'm fine like this.
 	You better not regret that.
 	"Good" and "Evil", "Right" and "Wrong", there's both of them"Point of view" and "Circunstances", "Essence" and "Convenience",Sometimes they're the justice you stick toIt doesn't matter if they're considered a bad behaviour,Even so life goes On,I have a sort of damage that can't be repaid,And to rescue that I look for an answer!
 	Hah! What's with those cowardly words?! Come on, come at me!!
 	Don't look down on me!
 	Yo! This feeling of rage that has no outlet,Accept them, or rather, take them into considerationThey are 100% to blameAnd if something prescripts it turns into voidIn law, void means of no legal effect. An action, document or transaction which is void is of no legal effect whatsoever: an absolute nullity - the law treats it as if it had never existed or happened.I can't possibly accept such a thingNo matter how you look it's a guilty sentenceWhat do you even know about it in the first place?I'm gonna punish the evil with my very own hands!
 	I can't hear you!
 	Uaaaargh!!
 	
 	What's wrong? You're done already?
 	Haa... Fucking shit!
 	Your words can't reach me the way they are right now.
 	Even if that's true, I'm not backing down!
 	... Tch! You fucking idiot...!
 	You're a person who punishes evil,But you can't cross that lineEven if you want a payback for your own good,You won't have anything ahead of you if you doMake no mistakeThe purpose of the justice you believe inIsn't to bring revenge to othersBut to do the right thing for oneself!
 	I... I...! Shit... Not yet... I can... still go on...!
 	There's no way you can do it. Because in your heart... You've already accepted that my words are right!
 	Ngh...!
 	What I meant to say is that you're excessively trapped in your past.
 	I don't want to forget... What happened to my brother...
 	Not wanting to forget and being trapped in it are different things. You're not alone. I would end my own life for you. And I think the same about Jyushi too, of course.
 	Your life, huh...? I can put my life on the line for you guys as well.
 	Haha!
 	
Vocalist 	We love you guys! We're counting on you to vote for us!
Uozaki 	Yo, Jyushi. Looks like you're going as a guitar vocalist, huh?
 	...That's right.
Uozaki 	Oh yeah? A White Falcon, huh? You've never played it in your life before, did you?
 	This is a piece that an important benefactor... No, an important friend told me to look after.
Uozaki 	Well, I don't think you're able to put up a decent musical performance in such a short time. At least you can try! I can't wait to get a good sight of you guys failing from the floor! Hahaha, HAHAHAHA!!
 	...
Bandmate A 	I wonder if we can really do it with just the 3 of us.
 	It'll be okay. Didn't we practice desperately? Hard work always pays off!
Bandmate A 	That's...true!
 	Alright, here we go!
Fan 1 	Huh? There's only 3 of them!
Fan 2 	Jyushi is playing a guitar?!
 	This night, as long as there are fakes, the true knights of the musical world will punish them. Feel free to come at us. Let's go!
 	Blossom up! Come, no matter which demon you embraceWe are the 14th Moon and will play any delightful dreamThis is a shining love song from a certain eraEven if you hate the stars, cover your eyes for a momentWe will show you!
Fan 	Gyaa! So cool!
Uozaki 	...gh!
Uozaki's Bandmate	Hey, Uozaki! Isn't it getting bad?!
Uozaki 	Heeheehee, don't worry! I have a plan.
Uozaki's Bandmate	A-and what is it?
Uozaki 	I'll stop the sound. This way their fun will be over, right?
Uozaki's Bandmate	That's true. Then I'm gonna turn off the illumination.
Uozaki 	Okay. I'll leave that to you!
Uozaki's Bandmate	Sure!
 	
Uozaki's Bandmate	Hehehe...
 	Stop right there.
Uozaki's Bandmate	?!
 	If you interfere, I'll show you hell.
Uozaki's Bandmate	Hehehe, and what kind of hell can you show me? Don't go on saying whatever you--
 	I'm a lawyer. And you're not dealing with a low class scum, but a first-rate expert. If you deliberately tamper with the illumination, I'll sentence you to the punishment of the law.
Uozaki's Bandmate	Uh...!
 	If you understood, hurry up and get out of here!
Uozaki's Bandmate	Uh... Uaargh!
 	Jyushi... that's a good sound.
 	
Uozaki 	Heehee, if I destroy the mixer... I might be able to do it!
 	Yo. What are you doing?
Uozaki 	W-who the hell are you?!
 	Who, me? I'm... Take that!!
Uozaki 	Uwaahgah!
 	Just a monk passing by, you piece of shit! ...Heh, not bad, Jyushi!
 	
 	What's that? You've come here too, Hitoya?
 	I can say the same about you. Did you come to talk to Jyushi?
 	No. Just seeing him being comfortable like this is enough.
 	Hah. I agree with you there.
 	Let's go home, Hitoya. We're aiming for the Division Battle starting tomorrow. This is the battlecry coming from hell!
 	...From hell, huh? Sounds interesting.
 	(Those two are the best. It doesn't matter who comes at us, we're gonna beat them all up!)
