……I think we all have those moments when we just want to kick the crap out of everything.

I don’t know if it’s a stone you’ve kicked in the road, or the face of someone who pisses you off, or some boring duty or responsibility, but I’m sure it’s true, even if you’re not a Musicart.

The sound of my fists repeatedly hitting the air echoes through the empty training room. And then there are the sharp clicks of my shoes and the sound of my breathing.

Jupiter “……!”

The hypothetical enemy that I had imagined in my brain attacked me as if it was growing up. It’s now twice as tall as me. I quickly intercepted it with a low kick. It’s nice to have a good idea of what you’re doing. And then.

Jupiter “Darryaaaaaaaaaa! ”

I gave it a backdrop, my lucky move.

Jupiter “Haa…… Haa………”

I stood up, wiped the sweat from my forehead with my arm and calmed my breathing. I’m going to have to start again on throwing fists. I’m sure Walküre will be upset that this is not the way to fight. She’s a tough one. But I want to have “the power to blow everything away”.

I’ve been training hard for three hours now. My body is sticky with sweat. My muscles are screaming. My head is starting to feel fuzzy. I don’t know why I’m working out so much. I’ve heard that muscle training doesn’t do much good for Musicarts, who have a certain amount of fixed body tissue. Musicart training is only for the body to learn how to move. Putting a lot of pressure on the body wouldn’t resulted the desired effect. But while I’m working out like this, I feel at ease.

Jupiter “Wha… toto…”

My legs got tangled, I fell on my buttocks and fell flat on my back. In the silence of the room, I could hear only my breathing. The floor was nice and cold. I lay on my back and thought about the past.

I’ve been told that I’m a good fighter, that I’m a physical person, and I’ve done a lot of fighting. But all I can remember is losing battles.

It’s difficult to have a body that doesn’t die so easily. All the unpleasant memories accumulate more and more. When I close my eyes, the faces of all the people I couldn’t save come to mind and disappear. For example, the Conductor who used to fight with me. They were a feeble but caring and pleasant person.

Conductor —— *You’re strong but loose-fitting, aren’t you, Jupiter? Here, I’ve folded the laundry.*

Jupiter —— *Don’t do anything you weren't told to! Are you my mom or something!?*

We used to have this exchange. They had beautiful fingers and was embarrassed to tell me that they wanted to be a pianist when they were little. They didn’t like to be bent here and there and couldn’t leave anyone in trouble, so they became a Conductor.

Conductor —— *You’re everyone’s hero, Jupiter. That’s why I want you to do well.*

Jupiter —— *A hero, me? Don’t be joking.*

Conductor —— *Nope. You are one. You’re a hero because you’re the one who makes all the hard days and the terrible enemies go away in one blow.*

I thought I could make a strong connection with them and fight with them to the end. I thought we’d make a great couple and go to war together.

Or so I thought.

Conductor —— *I’m sorry, Jupiter. I screwed up….*

Jupiter —— *What the hell are you doing? I told you to stay behind me!*

Conductor —— *I heard a sound in the distance. It was a scary, sickening sound coming towards you….*

Jupiter —— *But that doesn’t mean you have to protect me! You’re only a human!*

The Conductor’s chest wound was bleeding uncontrollably. That beautiful fingers of theirs are dyed in red and black. But in contrast, my wound was healing quickly.

Jupiter —— *Stop! Damn it! Why won’t it stop bleeding?*

Jupiter —— *Just breathe, you idiot! Come on! We’ll never make it in time!?*

Jupiter — *Goddammit! Why are you human!? Why am I a Musicart!?*

………

I noticed that the corners of my eyes were a little wet and I rushed to wipe them with the back of my hand. Sweat is coming out from the wrong place. It’s not like me. I clenched my fists and stood up.

Is it time to think? No time to remember it. I’ve started training again. As long as I have this body, I will fight. If the enemy appears, I’ll beat them. That’s it, right? That’s all there is to it.

I wondered. If I had offered a “contract” to the Conductor at that time, would the result have changed? A “Contract” is one of the customs that we ask from the Conductor.

I don’t know.

It’s not my nature to think.

Jupiter “Ah, damn! I’m not like this!”

That’s right. Christmas is coming soon. I know I’m the one who’s always talking about how much fun we’re going to have and how good the food is going to be. Well, let’s go out with Walküre for a change! No doubt that we’ll get into a fight!

I gradually increased the intensity of my training. My heart is beating faster and faster. When I meet a new Conductor, I’ll ask them to join me in training. And then we’ll have dinner together, shoulder to shoulder.

Everyone, leave it to me.

Jupiter right here is real strong.

Either loneliness and melancholy, also the enemies of humanity, I’ll beat them all together!
