## Transcript

[Road to YamiTsume High, Yahata City]

**Tamaki** : So, how did the Music Club go?

**Fuyu** : It's doing well. But there has been no new member so far.

**Tamaki** : I see. That's unfortunate.

**Fuyu** : ...It can't be helped.

**Tamaki** : Yeah, I knew about it. The Music Club lost its reputation after Tokunaga-senpai and her bandmates graduated.

**Fuyu** : Don't worry. It'll be fine.

**Tamaki** : Huh? You're planning on something?

**Fuyu** : ...No. I just know it.

**Tamaki** : You and your blocky way of speaking never ceases to confuse me.

**Fuyu** : ..."Blocky"? How rude.

**Tamaki** : H-Hey, I didn't mean it to be-

**???** : Oh? Arguing this early, are we?

**Tamaki** : Yo, Nishimura! Good morning!

**Reina Nishimura** : Good morning, Katayama-kun. and to you too, Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : Good morning, Nishimura.

**Reina** : Have you rested well, Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : I have.

**Reina** : That's good to know. Shall we go to school together?

**Tamaki** : Yes, let's go.

**Fuyu** : I don't mind.

**Reina** : Thank you.

**Tamaki** : By the way. why are you using this route, Nishimura? I thought your house was near the Shizo-Yasahi subway line.

**Reina** : Yeah, about that...

**Reina** : I had just visited Naoko, since her house is near here.

**Tamaki** : How is she doing?

**Reina** : She's doing fine after the incident with Dojima, but she recently caught a fever so she won't make it to school for a while.

**Tamaki** : Dojima, huh...

**Reina** : Oh yeah, since we're in the same class, I thought I should let you two know.

**Fuyu** : What is it?

**Reina** : Principal Kimura said because of his recent actions, he will be suspended for about three weeks.

**Tamaki** : I see.

**Reina** : \*sigh\* To be honest, I don't know why he plans on keeping Dojima as a student here. If he wanted to, he could have just expelled Dojima right out. Sometimes I wonder if the Principal is on his right mind.

**Tamaki** : He's probably doing this for a reason, Nishimura.

**Reina** : I can only hope that you're right about his decision.

[Front Gate, YamiTsume High School]

**???** : Good morning, Katayama, Fuyu and Nishimura.

**Tamaki** : Shimoyamada! Good morning.

**Fuyu** : ...Morning.

**Reina** : Good morning, Class Leader. What are you doing here, by the way?

**Akira Shimoyamada** : Since Shimazu-sensei is still on recovery, and since I am responsible for the actions in the class, I have to take responsibility and become Sensei's substitute. So, here I am.

**Reina** : What about Rosenkreuz-kun?

**Akira** : To make things easier, we'll trade shifts each day. So the two of us will be responsible for this place until Shimazu-sensei recovers.

**Tamaki** : I see. I do hope we have a way of helping with this situation.

**Akira** : No, you and Fuyu did enough. You stopped Dojima on your own, therefore I cannot thank you enough.

**Reina** : With the suspension going on, Dojima won't be causing trouble in YamiTsume. But I do hope he can stop wreaking havoc everywhere.

**Akira** : In my opinion, he is a lost cause. Should Hanami return, she should know what to do regarding this.

**Fuyu** : Imagawa. How is he?

**Akira** : He's still unconscious, it was a miracle he even survived, considering he fell headfirst. Perhaps his endurance might be one of the aspects they chose him as the Student Council President.

**Tamaki** : (Does endurance even have anything to do with this?)

**Akira** : Who knows? Our Student Council are mostly weirdos anyway.

**Akira** : You three should get to class soon. I'll meet you all in class.

**Reina** : Alright, then. We'll go first, see you.

**Tamaki** : See you!

**Fuyu** : Hm.

[YamiTsume High Rooftop, After School]

(Tamaki and three of his classmates are sitting on the rooftop)

**Tamaki** : Gamon, how's your head?

**Gamon Arai** : Er...It still hurts, if you touch it. I think you can hear it throb-

(The other classmate touches Gamon's head)

**???** : Throbbing? Let me see.

**Gamon** : OI, I SAID IT HURTS!

(Gamon kicks the classmate)

**???** : Buhargh!!!! H-How barbaric...I was just concerned...Bleh...

**Gamon** : At least ask if you wanna touch, ya dumbass!

**Tamaki** : The fault lies entirely on you, Sakurai.

**Jin Masuyama** : I agree. It seems like something an idiot would do.

**Hideaki Sakurai** : Oi, Masuyama! Whatchu say about my being an idiot!?

**Jin** : Shut up! You are clearly the biggest idiot of us all!

**Hideaki** : Huh?! You wanna take this outside?!

**Jin** : This is already outside, you big oaf!

**Hideaki** : You callin' me a "big oaf"?!

**Tamaki** : Alright, alright, settle down. This is why you two were called names in the first place.

**Jin** : Names?

**Hideaki** : What kind of names?

**Tamaki** : It varies. Mostly bad ones, though.

**Jin** : Yeah, I mean, we're just losers hanging around in the rooftop after school.

**Gamon** : Technically, this is more like the "Loser Club" instead of the "Myth Research Club".

**Tamaki** : Hey, come on! Mythological Research is really nice!

**Gamon** : I guess it has its benefits, but...

**Gamon** : With four people, what can we do?

**Jin** : You should have at least taken one of those empty club rooms, Tak-bro!

**Tamaki** : Nah, learning about mythologies needs to be done in an open field, not inside a room.

**Hideaki** : But you usually went to the librar-

**Tamaki** : THAT'S RIGHT, THE LIBRARY! HOW COULD I HAVE NOT THOUGHT OF THAT PLACE!

**Gamon** : Sometimes I wonder what Hanami sees in you...

**Tamaki** : Shut up and let's go to the library!

**Tamaki** : Oh, and we're gonna meet our fifth member there!

**Jin** : Oh? A new member?

**Hideaki** : Is it a girl? Is it Fu-

**Gamon** : If you're looking for Fuyu, she's in the Music Club.

**Hideaki** : N-Nevermind, then.

**Tamaki** : Let's go!!

**Jin, Gamon and Hideaki** : Okay!!
