## Transcripts

[Rooftop, YamiTsume High School]

**Ren** : ........

**King** : Wh-What did you just say, Akira-san?

**Akira** : .....Seriously?!

**Akira** : You could have just told me that you wanted to form a band in the first place!!

**King** : Since when did you know about-

**Akira** : Since we saw the Beanstalks' performance together.

**King** : .......

**Akira** : I looked at everyone's expression during the performance when nobody noticed.

**Akira** : After what happened that day, I thought you'll put on a sad face to pity yourself.

**Akira** : But.......

**Akira** : You were.....smiling.....

**King** : ....I did?

**Akira** : So....it was a reflexive smile. Hmph.

**Akira** : I'm not surprised you would enjoy music that much, considering you like to do pretty much everything.

**Akira** : Including lying and being extremely selfish, too.

**King** : Ah, I didn't mean that to-

**Akira** : Be quiet. I don't want an apology from a prince.

**Akira** : Instead.....

**Akira** : .....treat me as your equal and let's start over as fellow Class Leaders.

**King** : But I've always treated people as equals.

**Akira** : If what you mean by "treating people as equals" is to hide things from people, then you're wrong.

**King** : That.....

**Akira** : .....\*sigh\* Let's ignore that for now.

**Akira** : So.....what do you say?

**King** : .......I'm so-

(Akira punches King in the face)

**Akira** : CAN YOU STOP APOLOGIZING??!!

(somewhere not far from there.....)

**Ren** : Ah, she lost her patience again.

**King** : ........R-Right.

(King stands up)

**Akira** : \*sigh\* And I thought one slap was enough for you to understand.

**Akira** : Alright, let's do this again.

(Akira offers her hand to King)

**Akira** : Let's work together, King Rosenkreuz-san.

**King** : .......

**King** : Alright.

(King and Akira shake hands)

**Akira** : Now that that's done....

**Akira** : Let's talk. As friends, this time.

**King** : ......

**Akira** : I realized I never actually done this with anyone. Do you mind being the first?

**King** : Ah, I don't mind at all! What do you want to talk about?

**Akira** : ........Your band.

**King** : My....band?

**Akira** : What's your band's name?

**King** : Majesty.

**Akira :** Hmph. Figures.

**Akira** : Was it fun practicing with your bandmates?

**King** : It sure is.

**Akira** : I see.

**Akira** : .....

**King** : ......

**Akira** : I've always adored people who is in a band.

**King** : You do?

**Akira** : Honestly speaking, I do.

**Akira** : It all started when I saw the Beanstalks's live the first time....

**Akira** : It was astonishing, yet a part of me felt extremely satisfied when I saw them play their instruments.

**King** : So that's why you came to the Cafe almost everyday...

**Akira** : I told JJ that I came to the Cafe because I wanted to see The Beanstalks' lives everyday. Take it as some sort of stress reliever, you can say.

**Akira** : That is why......despite them announcing their hiatus, I keep on coming everyday.

**Akira** : I don't want to miss something that makes me happy, even if it's only lasts for several minutes. Even if they aren't there.....I always get the feeling that

**Akira** : Now do you understand....why I hit you?

**King** : I see. So that's why you're so angry when you found out.

**Akira** : Yeah.

**Akira** : So.....

**Akira** : Is Majesty going to have a live show soon?

**King** : Oh,not yet. Some of the members are still trying to master their instruments better.

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

**Akira** : But....do tell me when there's a live show.

**Akira** : If you would hide even that to me, you'll end up with more than a slap to the face. Is that clear?

**King** : ........

**Akira** : What's wrong?

**King** : Actually......

**King** : There IS a live show coming up.

**Akira** : Really? When?

**King** : Children's Day, or 5th of May.

**Akira** : Where will it be? At school?

**King** : At Jumpin' Jacks.

**Akira** : ........

**Akira** : I see.

**Akira** : Then I'll come running, if I have to.

**Akira** : I can't wait to see what you're capable of, Rosenkreuz-san.

**King** : I hope I could bring smiles to everyone present, like what the Beanstalks did to you and their fans.

**Akira** : Yeah.

**Akira** : Rosenkreuz-san.

**King** : ..?

**Akira** : Thank you again.

**Akira** : Good. Let's return to class, then.

**King** : I'll stay here for a bit. You should go back first, Akira-san.

**Akira** : .......

**Akira** : Rosenkreuz-san.

**King** : What is it?

**Akira** : We're friends now. Just call me Akira from now on.

**King** : .......

**Akira** : We're equals now, aren't we?

**King** : Of course.

**Akira** : A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Rosenkreuz.

**King** : Likewise, Akira.

(5 minutes later....)

[Female Bathroom, YamiTsume High School]

(Kirisana and Christine comes out of the bathroom, while Christine looking really pale...)

**Christine** : No....No.....This can't be happening....

**Kirisana** : Kohashikawa-san.....

**Akira** : Huh? Ichinohe-senpai, Kohashikawa-senpai....?

**Kirisana** : Shi-Shimoyamada?? What are you doing here?

**Akira** : I'm going to the bathroom. Kohashikawa-senpai, are you okay?

**Kirisana** : N-Nothing's wrong, Shimoyamada. She was just a little dizzy, that's all.

**Akira** : O-Oh, alright....

(Christine and Kirisana leaves)

**Akira** : (Something's not right.....)

(Akira was about to follow them, but...)

**Voice** : Shimoyamada-san.

**Akira** : ...?

**Fumino Shirokage** : May I talk to you about something?

**Akira** : Oh, Shirokage-san.

**Fumino** : Please, come with me.

**Akira** : Alright.

(Fumino takes Akira somewhere.....)

(Several hours later.....)

[YamiTsume High Courtyard, After School.....]

(King and Daisuke awaits the others at the Courtyard)

**King** : So, Ashikaga-kun.

**Daisuke** : Yeah?

**King** : It's been a week since we formed Majesty.

**Daisuke** : Huh, it's been that long? I didn't even notice.

**King** : Well, you're actually the one who's been really focused on your practice. In fact, you've really improved, even without anyone helping you!

**Daisuke** : Heh....I just don't want to be a liability to anyone, that much is certain.

**King** : I understand. Thanks for that.

**Daisuke** : .....I just hope I did the right choice by trusting you back then.

**King** : I promise you won't regret it.

**Genrai** : OI!!

(Genrai, Azama and Zanto arrives)

**Daisuke** : They're here.

**King** : About fabulous time!!

**Azama** : Oh, pardon me. I was so caught up in deciding a beautiful script for my-

**Zanto** : Yeah, whatever. Let's just go already.

**Genrai** : Ditto! I can't wait for another practice!

(Tristan and Palamedes arrives)

**Palamedes** : Your steed is ready, Rosenkreuz-sama.

**Tristan** : As for the others, we have a car prepared.

**Zanto** : Hm, didn't think you guys would use cars too.

**Tristan** : Cars are only used when three or more people joins Rosenkreuz-sama on his journey home.

**King** : Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you, Tristan.

**Tristan** : Hm?

**King** : We're going to GOLDEN LION.

**Tristan** : As you wish, Rosenkreuz-sama. I'll go get the car right away.

(Tristan leaves)

**Genrai** : Wait, what about.....uh.....what's your name again?

**Palamedes** : It's Palamedes, Edogawa-sama.

**Genrai** : Ah, right. What about her?

**King** : Of course.

**King** : She's my personal assistant, so she'll be riding her own steed with me.

**Genrai** : I see. Well, see you there Senpai.

**Zanto** : Do stay safe. The marketplace isn't the exact place for your giant horse to run around.

**King** : You got it!

(Daisuke, Azama, Genrai and Zanto leaves to find Tristan)

**King** : Let's go, Palamedes.

**Palamedes** : Yes, Rosenkreuz-sama.

**Voice** : Wait!

(King and Palamedes stops, then turns behind)

**King** : Akira?

**Akira** : \*pant\* \*pant\*

**King** : What's wrong?

**Akira** : Take.....

**Akira** : Take me with you.

**King** : .....!!

**Akira** : I want to see.....

**Akira** : .....how bright you'll shine.

**Akira** : King Rosenkreuz.

**King** : .......

**King** : Alright!

**Akira** : .....Thank you.

**King** : Wait, we need to call Tristan back, then.

**Akira** : Why?

**King** : That is, unless you want to ride a horse.

**Akira** : I don't think riding a horse will be a big problem.

**King** : Ahaha......

**Akira** : ...?

(Akira and King sits on Llamrei, who charges through the streets EXTREMELY FAST)

**Akira** : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WE'LL DIE!! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!! FATHER, MOTHER, HELP ME!!!!!!

**King** : Hold on tight, this is going to be real wild!!

(Akira fearfully grabs onto King as hard as she can while Llamrei charges full speed through the street)

**Akira** : YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME YOUR HORSE IS THIS BIG!!!

**King** : Sorry! Palamedes's steed is only for one people!

**Akira** : I could have used the subway!!!

**King** : But you're having fun, aren't you?!!

**Akira** : .....!!

**Akira** : ......K-Kind of....

**King** : Fabulous!! Llamrei, we march!!!

**Akira** : NO WAIT- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

(Llamrei charges even faster)

**Palamedes** : .......

**Palamedes** : I should go after them. Let's hurry, my friend.

(Palamedes' horse walks a bit faster, chasing King)
