## Transcript

**Katodane** : ...

**Mitari** : ...

**Eidal** : ...?

**Mitari** : ...

**Mitari** : What's the announcement?

**Katodane** : Are you ready to hear it?

**Mitari** : I've been ready. Now hurry up.

**Katodane** : Okay, okay.

**Katodane** : \*inhales\*

**Katodane** : Are you sure, though?

**Mitari** : Yes.

**Katodane** : ...For realzies?

**Mitari** : I am going to punch you.

**Katodane** : Alright, alright. I'll go ahead and say it.

**Katodane** : \*inhales\*

**Katodane** : Say, Chross-kun is working so we should just talk outsi-

(Mitari grabs Katodane and kicks him outside)

**Eidal** : ...

**Mitari** : SAY IT ALREADY!

**Katodane** : Ahahaha, alright. Alright.

**Katodane** : Um...would you mind letting go of my collar? Just so you know, I don't swing that way.

**Mitari** : ...Oh, uh, okay.

**Katodane** : Oho-kay! Much better. More room to breathe means more oxygen input for me.

**Mitari** : Be quick about it.

**Katodane** : I'm thinking of adding a competition of music in our school. What do you say?

**Mitari** : Huh? A competition?

**Katodane** : Considering many bands are formed in this short time period, I'm thinking of blasting them to bigger heights! And with my position as Prezzy-on-a-dent, I might just give them the PUSH they needed.

**Mitari** : But why are you searching for me? I'm not in a band.

**Katodane** : Oh, right...because you will form a band.

**Mitari** : What?

**Katodane** : OHOHOHOHO, YES YES! YOU WILL FORM A BAND, FOLLOW IN YOUR SISTER'S FOOTSTEPS! CONTINUE HER LEGACY IN YOUR OWN MAGNIFICENT WAY!

**Katodane** : I believe she would have wanted that, rather than running around and blasting your sister's reputation to pieces with your poo-poo techniques.

**Mitari** : "Poo-poo" techniques? The hell does that mean?

**Katodane** : It means.....my brotha! Is that you could not even comprehend the sheer shame your sister is feeling right now, ja?

**Mitari** : ...Am I really that shameless?

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : To be frank, yes.

**Mitari** : Huh...Hey, Kato-

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : Shush! I am not only Katodane, but I am now Frank for about one hour.

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : I learned this joke at the hospital, about an American tourist who got injured in a car accident. It's pretty fun, actually.

**Mitari** : ...Huh?

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : Oh, what I'm referring to "fun" is the joke, not the accident.

**Mitari** : ...

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : Anyways...!

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : I'm going to host the competition! And YOU, are going to join!

**Mitari** : Tch...Fine!

**Mitari** : How many people do I need?

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : Four more.

**Mitari** : Any recommendations for me?

**Katodane "Frank" Imagawa** : ...Find it yourself, LOL!

(Katodane dashes away, leaving Mitari speechless)

**Mitari** : ...Damn it.

**Eidal** : Don't worry, he probably means well.

**Mitari** : Say...

**Eidal** : ...I refuse.

**Mitari** : ...Were you eavesdropping?

**Eidal** : The window was open, so I heard everything.

**Mitari** : Should have just closed it off.

**Eidal** : I was about to, until I heard that you are planning to join a music competition.

**Mitari** : Yeah, why?

**Eidal** : ...I have a friend that plays an instrument. Maybe I can recommend him to you.

**Mitari** : ...Is that true?

**Eidal** : I see no reason to lie about that.

**Mitari** : ...

**Mitari** : ...Lead the way.

**Eidal** : Alright. Let me shut down the furnace first.

**Mitari** : Cool.

(Mitari waits for Eidal to finish tidying up, then they both head to Eidal's class)

[YamiTsume High Class 3-C, Morning]

**Eidal** : Obayashi.

**Noriyuki Obayashi** : Oh, hi there. Who's that with you?

**Eidal** : His name is Mitari Tokunaga. He wants to find members for his band. Can you help him?

**Noriyuki** : Hm? Wait a second, aren't you that impulsive guy from earlier?

**Mitari** : ...

**Eidal** : "Earlier"...?

**Noriyuki** : He caused a ruckus in the Music Club today, screaming about wanting a song from Fuyu.

**Eidal** : Is that true?

**Mitari** : I will not apologize. What I did was not a mistake.

**Eidal** : ...

(Eidal looks at Noriyuki, who shakes his head)

**Eidal** : Come with me for a second.

(Eidal grabs Mitari by his shirt, and walks out of class)

**Noriyuki** : \*sigh\* You're far too kind, Eidal-kun...

[Corridor]

**Eidal** : You are a stubborn man.

**Mitari** : Hmph. So what if I am?

**Eidal** : You will face difficulty if you keep on acting like this.

**Mitari** : Hmph.

**Mitari** : Leave me alone. I can find my own crew,

(Mitari leaves)

**Eidal** : ...If you say so.

[Rooftop]

**Ren** : ...

**Ren** : Is that you, President?

**Katodane** : Shubee-duba, shubee-duba, ai ai-yaa-i~

(Katodane dances around)

**Ren** : State your business.

**Katodane** : Wanna join a music competition?

**Ren** : I prefer the silence.

**Katodane** : Oh, what's that? Too bad~ I've assigned you to the Music Club by accident since you didn't register to any clubs~

**Ren** : ...Are you serious?

**Katodane** : Since when am I not?! Wahahahahaha!

**Ren** : ...Ngh.

**Ren** : Guess I have no choice.

**Ren** : I'll play along with your games...Uninitiative One.

**Katodane** : Alright! Welcome to the club!

(Katodane runs away, leaving Ren to sigh)

**Ren** : ...What a bother.

(Just then, the rain gets bigger)

**Ren** : Shizukesa...Looks like the rain ain't letting up today.

(Then, something reflected off of Shizukesa)

**Ren** : ...!

(Ren quickly blocks something from behind, revealing it to be a dagger)

**Ren** : ...You again.

(A white haired girl appears, standing from the steel fence)

**???** : Tch.

**Ren** : How many times are you going to attack me? No matter how many times you do, you'll never-

(Ren dodges a strike from behind)

**Ren** : (There's another...?!)

**???** : Akagiri, Kurogiri!

(Two more appears and attacks Ren, but he parries their attacks)

**Ren** : (That was...close!)

**Akagiri** : Fumi, now!

**Ren** : (...Another one!?)

(Another girl attacks Ren with a downward slash, injuring his shoulder a bit)

**Ren** : ...Kuh!

**Kurogiri** : He's good.

**???** : ...

**Ren** : So this time, it's all five of you at once?

**Ren** : What did I even do to deserve this...?

**Kurogiri** ; Fumi, what's the plan?

**Fumino Shirokage** : We take him down. Sorround him and we'll overpower him.

**???** : Okay~

(The white-haired girl walks forward)

**???** : We were defeated once. But not anymore.

**Ren** : ...

(Ren draws out Shizukesa)

**Ren** : I've defeated all five of you before.

**Ren** : I can do so again.

**Fumino** : Answer me this, Takenaka.

**Fumino** : What do you know of the incident between our clans?

**Ren** : I'm sorry. But I don't know anything.

**Fumino** : Lies.

**???** : Takenaka-kun, we do not wish to harm you if you just tell us the truth.

**Ren** : There is nothing to talk about.

**Fumino** : So be it.

**Fumino** : We'll have no choice but to interrogate you after we take you down.

**Ren** : Hmph.
