## Transcript

[Jumpin' Jack & The Beanstalks Cafe, After School]

(Akira and King arrives at the cafe)

"**JJ"** : Welcome back, Akira-chan, and Rosenkreuz-kun. Is it just the two of you today?

**Akira** : Yes. JJ, I'll have the usual, please.

**"JJ"** : Of course.

**King** : I'll have Yorkshire Tea, please.

**"JJ"** : A tea befitting of a noble. Coming right up.

(Akira and King sits near the glass window of the cafe)

**King** : Today has been rough, isn't it?

**Akira** : ...........To think......

**King** : Akira-san....?

**Akira** : One of the Student Council members was the culprit......

**King** : ......?

**Akira** : If the Student Council have people like Niizato-san, then I.......

**King** : ......

**Akira** : I don't know who to believe anymore.......I just......I....

**Akira** : Hanami-san......What would you do if you were here?

**King** : ......Akira-san.....

**King** : .....you need to believe in yourself.

**Akira** : .......

**Akira** : Why would I believe in myself.......if I can't even do anything right?

**King** : You have to.

**Akira** : .....?

**King** : Because there are others who believe in you.

**Akira** : ........Others?

**King** : Everyone in Class 2-A! They all believe in you.

**Akira** : No use trying to flatter me. I am nothing but a substitute.

**King** : Even so, everyone respects you.

**King** : If they don't like you, why would people like Hirai-san and Shinomiya-san stay by your side?

(Akira turns her eyes away)

**Akira** : They are merely doing their job. Once Hanami-san returns, my role will be over.

**King** : That's not what Taira-san wants you to think.

**Akira** : What do you know about her?

**King** : .......

**King** : True enough. In fact, I've only known Taira-san for a year or so.

**King** : But what about you?

**Akira** : Eh?

**King** : You've known her for a long time, right? What do you think she'll say to you if she sees you like this?

**Akira** : .......

**King** : Do you remember when our Class all went to send Taira-san off?

**Akira** : Of course I do. Hanami-san even forces the teachers to bring Katayama-san along.

**King** : True. She really likes Tamaki, hm?

**Akira** : Hm. I'm not surprised. They've been friends ever since they were little, after all.

(Akira turns to look at the road)

**Akira** : I think it's wonderful to see childhood friends grow into something more, don't you think?

**King** : .......

(King gives a faint smile)

**King** : Yes. It sure is.

**King** : Anyway.....

**Akira** : Hm?

**King** : Do you remember what Taira-san said to you before she left?

[Flashback starts]

[Kotō Airport, Saijō City]

(Hanami, and several other students prepares to leave)

**Hanami Taira** : Well, I guess it's time to go!

**Tamaki** : Take care out there, alright?

**Hanami** : Of course! Tama-kyun, you take care too!

(Hanami hugs Tamaki)

**Tamaki** : I'll be waiting until then.

**Hanami** : Of course! I'll make sure you miss me everyday!

**Tamaki** : Exaggerate as much as you like, Hanami. I will definitely miss you everyday.

**Hanami** : Ehehe.

(Hanami looks at Akira)

**Hanami** : Akira-chan.

**Akira** : Hanami-san......

**Hanami** : Starting from next April, you'll take over as the Class Leader!

**Akira** : But-

**Hanami** : No buts!! I will only accept a "yes" as an answer.

**Akira** : .........

**Hanami** : I know it's going to be difficult, since you're always training in the Kendo Club....

(Hanami puts her hand in Akira's shoulder)

**Hanami** : It's going to be alright with you, Akira-chan.

**Akira** : Hanami-san......

**Hanami** : ........Yoink!

(Hanami hugs Akira)

**Akira** : Hanami-san!?

**Hanami** : I'll miss you, Akira-chan.

**Akira** : .........

**Akira** : So will I.....Hanami-san.

**Hanami** : King-kun.

**King** : Yes, Taira-san?

**Hanami** : Please take care of our class while I'm away! With Akira-chan here, I know you two can do it!

**King** : You got it!

**Hanami** : And take care of my darling Tama-kyun too, okay?

(Everyone laughs)

[Flashback ends]

**King** : After that day, we started talking and we became friends in the process.

**Akira** : ........

**Akira** : For several weeks since my first day as a class leader, I was so inexperienced in doing my role.

**Akira** : When Dojima caused a ruckus, all I did was stay quiet.

**Akira** : When Dojima pushed Ichinohe-senpai, Fuyu solved the problem.

**Akira** : Where were we then?

**King** : Akira-san.

**King** : Some things are meant to happen, you can't change what happened.

**Akira** : ........

**King** : But, if we work together to improve ourselves, then we're bound to become good Class Leaders!

(King stands up)

**King** : With everyone's support, we can maybe even become Class Leader of The Year!!

**King** : So!

**King** : Are you with me, Akira-san?

(King offers Akira a hand)

**Akira** : .........

(Akira closes her eyes)

**Akira** : I.....I'm sorry.....

**Akira** : I need some time to think about it.

**King** : That's alright. Take as much time as you need.

**Akira** : I-I'll be going ahead. Thank you for today.

(Not long after that, the Beanstalks arrive)

**Toki** : I'm sorry for being late. The subway is having a bit of trouble.

**King** : No worries, Wakitashiro-san.

**Toki** : Thank you.

(Toki then sits at Akira's seat)

**Toki** : So, what is it that you want to talk about?

**King** : ........

**King** : I want to form a band.

**Toki** : Oh?
