## Transcript

[YamiTsume High School, Morning]

**Azama** : Good morning, King.

**King** : Good morning to you as well, Azama.

**King** : This is Palamedes, my retainer.

**Palamedes** : Greetings.

**Azama** : Ah, it's nice to meet you.

**Azama** : Now, shall we go?

**King** : Please, lead the way.

(Azama, King and Palamedes heads to the Music Club)

[In front of the Music Club]

**Azama** : We're here.

**King** : Alright, let's go in.

**Palamedes** : ...

(Azama grabs the doorknob, but the door suddenly swings open)

(This causes the door to hit Azama's face)

**Azama** : GAH!!!!

(Then, a girl runs out of the room)

**Brown-Haired Girl** : AAAAAHHH...!!!!

**King** : ...!

(Then, a green-haired girl follows the girl)

**Green-Haired Girl** : Yuna-chan!!!

(A blond-haired girl follows the girl, along with a grey-haired girl)

**Blond-Haired Girl** : Saito-san, we have to follow her!

**Grey-Haired Girl** : Right!

**Palamedes** : What...is happening?

(Just then, a pink-haired girl walks out of the room and notices King, Azama and Palamedes)

**Pink-Haired Girl** : ...Ah.

**King** : Excuse me, did something happen?

**Pink-Haired Girl** : Oh...It's nothing. They'll sort it out in a minute.

**Pink-Haired Girl** : Do you need something?

**Azama** : Actually, we're here to join the Music Club.

**Pink-Haired Girl** : Oh? Then please, come in.

(The girl looks at Palamedes)

**Pink-Haired Girl** : Wait, you're not a student. What are you doing here?

**King** : She's with me.

**Pink-Haired Girl** : ...Okay then.

[Music Club]

(Inside the club, a blue-haired girl is talking with a white-haired girl)

**Blue-Haired Girl** : ...This seems like a problem, yeah.

**White-Haired Girl** : We'll do our best to restrain her in case something happens.

**White-Haired Girl** : In any case, I should catch up with them. I'll be going now.

**Blue-Haired Girl** : Yeah. I'll have to trust you to keep Sakaki safe, Fuyu.

**Fuyu Hime** : I understand.

(Fuyu turns to the door and she sees King)

**King** : Fuyu...?

**Fuyu** : Rosenkreuz?

**Pink-Haired Girl** : Oh, you know each other?

**Fuyu** : We're classmates.

**Fuyu** : What brings you here?

**Pink-Haired Girl** : They want to apply for the club.

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu thinks for a bit)

**Fuyu** : I see. Goodluck.

**King** : ...?

**Azama** : Hello, my name is-

(Fuyu passes by Azama and closes the door behind her)

**Azama** : ...

**Blue-Haired Girl** : Ah, you'll get used to it.

**Azama** : I...I see.

**Pink-Haired Girl** : ...

**Miezu Tadashiro** : Anyways, welcome to the Music Club. I'm the Music Club President, Tadashiro Miezu.

**Nagi Asagami** : And I'm Asagami Nagi, a part-time helper here.

**King** : I'm King Rosenkreuz from 2-A, nice to meet you both.

(King bows)

**Nagi** : ...Wait, Rosenkreuz?

**Miezu** : Hm?

**Miezu** : As in that Rosenkreuz, the British Royal Family?

**Palamedes** : I can confirm that.

(Palamedes steps forward and shows Miezu and Nagi the Rosenkreuz's Emblem of Knights)

**Miezu** : ...

**Nagi** : ...

(Nagi pulls out a phone and quickly taps the screen)

**Nagi** : Yup, that's legit.

**Miezu** : How did you find out?

**Nagi** : For last year's event, we had to borrow references from the Knights in the Royal Family. Naturally, their knight's emblems are one of those props.

**King** : I see. I'm glad that our knight's costumes could help.

**Miezu** : So the ones who will be joining would be Rosenkreuz-kun and...

(Miezu points at King, then at Azama)

**Azama** : Ah, my name is Chosokabe Azama. I'm a student from 2-C. Thank you for having us.

**Nagi** : Having you? You're not a member yet, you know.

**Miezu** : For the Music Club, you have to pass a test. Be it singing, instruments, you name it.

**King** : Oh, so that's what Fuyu meant by "goodluck"...

**Azama** : Very well, then we shall have King go first.

**King** : Very well.

**Palamedes** : Goodluck, Your Highness.

**King** : Thank you.

(King rises to the stage)

**Miezu** : What will it be?

**King** : ...I'll sing.

**Nagi** : Alright.

**Miezu** : You may begin.

**King** : ...

(King draws his breath, and then he exhales)

**King** : ~~~~

(King's voice turns high as he sings)

**Azama** : Lady Palamedes, was it?

**Palamedes** : Just call me Palamedes, Azama.

**Azama** : His voice is awesome, even I trembled a bit when I heard it during the choir practice session we've had yesterday.

**Palamedes** : ...

**Azama** : Since when King practiced singing?

**Palamedes** : Since the age of seven. But he stopped when he was 11.

**Azama** : Any reason why?

**Palamedes** : ...

**Azama** : Ah, then it's his personal matters. Fine, I won't pry any longer.

**Palamedes** : Thank you for understanding.

**Azama** : Hm.

(King ends his performance)

**Miezu** : Wonderful job, Rosenkreuz-kun.

**King** : ...Thank you.

**Nagi** : Meaning he gets the clear?

**Miezu** : ...Yup,

**Nagi** : ...

(Miezu walks over to King with a blue notebook in hand)

**Miezu** : Rosenkreuz-kun, I welcome you to the Music Club.

**King** : ...Thank you.

**Miezu** : Now, please. Write your name here.

**King** : Did they do this with other clubs as well?

**Miezu** : No.

**Nagi** : That book was Fuyu's idea, actually.

**King** : Fuyu?

**Miezu** : Don't worry. We were pretty surprised too when she brought the idea up.

**King** : ...Okay, then.

(King writes his name on the book)

**King** : There.

**Miezu** : Alrighty.

**Miezu** : Chosokabe-kun. It's your turn.

**Azama** : Very well.

(Azama gets to the stage, guitar in hand)

**Miezu** : Will it be your guitar performance?

**Azama** : Of course not! It will be singing and guitar performance!

**Nagi** : Oh?

**Azama** : Now...Here I go!
