## Transcript

[Principal's Office]

**Miezu** : Principal Tadatsune!

**Tadatsune** : Good morning, Tadashiro. Oh......Fuyu and Yuna, too.

**Miezu** : Fuyu and Sakaki-san have a report they would like to tell you.

**Tadatsune** : Alright. Tell me the details. Do you want to hear it, Miyasaka?

**Miyasaka** : I have to.

**Tadatsune** : Haha. Let's hear it, then.

(Fuyu and Yuna tells Tadatsune and Miyasaka everything about what happened at Kiyoyasu Riverbank)

**Fuyu** : .......And that's what happened.

**Yuna** : Do you know anything, Principal?

**Tadatsune** : ........I'm sorry. I have no idea what to do. I'm sorry I can't be of much help.

**Miyasaka** : Shizuka.......Yagumire.....?

(Miyasaka is reminded of something)

**Miyasaka** : Tadatsune! You fool!

**Tadatsune** : H-Huh?!

**Miyasaka** : Shizuka Yagumire!! You would know who that was!!

**Tadatsune** : .....!!!

**Tadatsune** : Fuyu, Yuna......

**Fuyu** : ......?

**Tadatsune** : When you met Yagumire in the hospital........What was she wearing?

**Fuyu** : ...........

**Yuna** : She was wearing a school uniform with an emblem of a giant tree.

**Tadatsune** : Then, it's true.

**Fuyu** : What is?

**Tadatsune** : Your friends are in trouble, Yuna. Shizuka Yagumire comes from......

**Miyasaka** : .......Drasil Elite Academy, our archrival.

**Fuyu** : .......Drasil?

**Yuna** : D-did Drasil has something to do with Kagura and Hitomi? Then, we have to do-

**Tadatsune** : No. We can't do anything if it's them.

**Yuna** : Why not?!

**Tadatsune** : Drasil isn't just some normal academy full of elite students......The Principal of Drasil is a man of many connections. He will do anything to keep his academy's reputation stay on top.

**Yuna** : .......So then, getting Hitomi and Kagura back is pointless, that's what you're saying, Principal?

**Miyasaka** : Sakaki! Watch your mouth!

**Tadatsune** : It's okay, Miyasaka. .........I'm sorry, Yuna. But for now.......

**Yuna** : ........How did Hitomi and Kagura even come in contact with them anyway?

**Miyasaka** : Drasil has been setting sights on our school for a while now. They must have done something to them so that they would obey their commands.

**Fuyu** : But.....would they really have any reason to obey them?

**Yuna** : .........I can't think of one.

**Tadatsune** : Well.......I suppose as your principal, I have to do something. You girls, forget about this incident and allow us to research more into this incident. We'll need to know more than this to retaliate against Drasil.

**Yuna** : But I-

**Fuyu** : Yuna. Let's try and leave it to them.

**Yuna** : Ugh.......Alright.

**Miezu** : Well then, we will return to the Music Club. If you excuse us, Principal. Yokomichi-san.

(The three girls leaves the room)

**Miyasaka** : .......Tadatsune.

**Tadatsune** : This is the second time our student is put in dire measures......We have no choice, looks like we have to try to take action after all.

**Miyasaka** : I'm glad you could understand.

**Tadatsune** : .......

[Music Club]

**Bestisia** : Hmmmm....I see.....So our orders were to stand down until Principal Tadatsune gets some new updates on it.

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan, are you really sure you're okay?

**Yuna** : I'm fine now.....Thanks to all of you.

**Ayaka** : So, what do we do now?

**Fuyu** : The Principal told us to forget about this incident, didn't he? Then it's obvious, it's time to practice again.

**Bestisia** : Finally! Metéore and I are itching to play again!

**Ayaka** : Yuna, you'll be joining us starting now. Is that alright?

**Yuna** : I'll be fine. Thank you for your concern.

**Ayaka** : We'll be waiting at the Practice Studio, then.

(Fuyu, Ayaka and Bestisia heads to the Practice Studio)

**Miezu** : I suppose I should go supervise some of the other students, as well.

(Miezu leaves)

**Yuna** : Well, Tamami? What are you going to do now?

**Tamami** : H-Huh?

**Yuna** : The incident won't be brought up until Kimura-san found something, so....

**Tamami** : U-Um.....Yuna-chan.....I-if possible....I.....

**Yuna** : Hm...?

**Tamami** : I want to join the Music Club!!!

**Yuna** : Huh? Where did that come from?

**Tamami** : You knew that I always admired you, and I was a big fan of Night Fall........And I always will be a fan of Night Fall, even though they're no longer here. You changed my entire life when you talked to me that day. But......when I saw you during that storm......For the first time in my life, I never felt so terrified in my life.

**Yuna** : Tamami......

**Tamami** : I don't want you to suffer through that anymore! I've decided! I'm going to join the Music Club and I'm going to stay by your side! I won't let anything bother you anymore!

**Yuna** : .......

(Yuna sheds a tear)

**Yuna** : I appreciate your help, Tamami. But, do what you have to do. You don't need to force yourself to accompany me.

**Tamami** : But I-

**Yuna** : My friend, if it wasn't for your support, I wouldn't be here right now. Please, just do what you want to do.

**Tamami** : .........Okay, if you say so, Yuna-chan. Well then, I'll go back to my class, then.

**Yuna** : Thank you.

(Tamami opens the door, but before she leaves)

**Tamami** : ...........

(Tamami closes the door)

**Yuna** : .........

**Yuna** : I'm sorry, Tamami. I didn't want you to get hurt......

**Bestisia** : Ooooooi. Yuna, are you done?

**Yuna** : I'll be right there.

[Unknown Location]

(Hitomi is being beaten by Shizuka while Kagura watches)

**Hitomi** : Urgh.....

**Shizuka** : So, you showed your true colors at last, Nakayoshi.

**Kagura** : .......

**Hitomi** : .......

(Shizuka grabs Hitomi's collar)

**Shizuka** : What did you tell the YamiTsume Students?

**Hitomi** : Aah....\*cough\* \*hack\*

**Kagura** : ........

**Shizuka** : Answer me.

**Hitomi** : ........Ne-

**Shizuka** : What was that?

**Hitomi** : .....I.....ll.....Ne.....ver.......te....ll....

**Shizuka** : You!

**Kagura** : Yagumire.

**Shizuka** : .......What?

**Kagura** : You're getting pissed quite quickly. Take a rest, it's my turn.

**Shizuka** : .........I suppose I was getting tired lately.

**Kagura** : Heh.....

(Shizuka leaves the room)

**Kagura** : ......

**Kagura** : ......Hitomi.

**Hitomi** : .......

**Kagura** : .....Hitomi.

(Kagura lightly taps Hitomi's cheek)

**Hitomi** : Ka.....gu...ra?

**Kagura** : ......

(Kagura slaps Hitomi)

**Kagura** : Wake up, you traitor.

**Hitomi** : ........

**Kagura** : Your punishment is staying here all night. Don't worry, there's still food for you.

**Hitomi** : ........I see.

**Kagura** : Well, I don't plan on torturing you so....I'll just leave.

**Hitomi** : .......

**Kagura** : .......

**Hitomi** : Yuna........

**Kagura** : .....?

**Hitomi** : Yuna......Help......Yuna.....

**Kagura** : Guh.....

(Kagura leaves the room)

**Kagura** : (WHY?! EVEN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO MASAKI, IT'S JUST YUNA, YUNA AND YUNA!!!)

[Music Club]

**Yuna** : (Hitomi.....Kagura.....)

**Yuna** : (I promise......I will get the two of you back!)
