## Transcript

[Tamaki's House, Nighttime]

**Tamaki** : Hah! What a tiring day!

**Tamaki** : I guess I'll go sleep now.

(Phone rings)

**Tamaki** : Huh? I wonder who it is.

**Tamaki** : Hm, a foreign number...

**Tamaki** : ...

**Tamaki** : AH!!!

(Tamaki runs towards the balcony and answers the phone)

**Tamaki** : Hanami!

**Hanami Taira** : Makki! I miss you so much!

**Tamaki** : Haha, same here!

**Tamaki** : How did it go? Are you doing fine there?

**Hanami** : Hehe, absolutely! Our team reached Top 500!

**Tamaki** : Yes, so I've heard. Keep up the good work out there!

**Hanami** : Of course! Nobody can beat me when it comes to, well...anything!

**Tamaki** : Hm, that much is true.

**Hanami** : So, Makki, how's the school? I heard from Ichinohe-senpai that...Dojima is at it again.

**Tamaki** : Yep.

**Hanami** : ...

**Tamaki** : It's alright. We quickly stopped him though.

**Hanami** : I heard our friends were hurt, even Shimazu-sensei.

**Tamaki** : Yeah.

**Hanami** : Did by any chance...Fuyu get involved?

**Tamaki** : Yes. She fought him for a bit, but thankfully she's not hurt.

**Hanami** : That's a relief. I knew I could trust her to you.

**Tamaki** : She's our childhood friend. I would do anything to get her memories back.

**Hanami** : I wish we could just told her everything, but...

**Tamaki** : Yes, "he" said not to try to force her to remember.

**Hanami** : ...How is she doing?

**Tamaki** : She's doing very well, and she joined a club.

**Hanami** : A club? Which one?

**Tamaki** : The Music Club.

**Hanami** : ...!

**Hanami** : Interesting. She may have lost her memories, but it seems like her instinct is as sharp as always.

**Tamaki** : That's Fuyu for you.

**Hanami** : Hehe.

**Hanami** : Anyway, isn't it almost 10 p.m. there?

**Tamaki** : Yes.

**Hanami** : You should go to sleep, Makki.

**Tamaki** : Alright, then. Good night, Hanami.

**Hanami** : Good night...

**Hanami** : ...my Dreamcatcher.

**Tamaki** : Sweet dreams, my Morning Star.

**Hanami** : Sweet dreams.

(Tamaki closes the call)

**Tamaki** : Okay then, time to go to bed.

(Tamaki goes to bed)

[Tamaki's Dream World]

**Tamaki** : Oh, I'm here again.

**Euterpe** : Hello.

**Tamaki** : Ah, it's you! The goddess of hopelessness, I mean lyrical poetry!

**Euterpe** : At the very least, be a bit more respectful when you're talking to a goddess.

**Euterpe** : But since the age where Gods roam this land was over for a long time, I suppose I can overlook your attitude.

**Tamaki** : Okay, I really appreciate that Eu.

**Euterpe** : Hey, don't cut my name short!

**Tamaki** : Alright, then. How shall I address you, "Goddess of Lyrical Poetry, whose other name was "Giver of Delight", member of the Nine Muses of Greek mythology, and sister to the other eight namely Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Thalia, Polyhymnia and lastly Urania". Euterpe?

**Euterpe** : You are unbelievable!

**Euterpe** : Putting that aside, have you found what you have been searching for?

**Tamaki** : Ah yes, something about music, if I recall our last conversation.

**Tamaki** : Unfortunately, no. I have found nothing regarding music.

**Euterpe** : What?!

**Tamaki** : Well, my club activities just doesn't really align with music.

**Euterpe** : "Club"? Isn't that what Hercules used? You beat people up in your time?

**Tamaki** : Oh, right. I forgot you're a goddess from long ago.

**Tamaki** : So, a club can be a weapon that Hercules used. But, a club has another meaning now. It basically means that several people form up a group to learn something, either separately or together.

**Euterpe** : I see. So, it's kind of like a gathering or some sort.

**Tamaki** : Yes, exactly. I know you would get it.

**Euterpe** : Hm, Father did say I have some of his smarts in me.

**Tamaki** : Your father? Smarts?

**Euterpe** : ...

**Tamaki** : Before my real body gets divine intervention, I need to tell you that I'm only joking about your father.

**Euterpe** : Don't worry. He is usually very calm.

**Tamaki** : (I wouldn't say anything about Zeus is calm, but might as well keep my mouth shut...)

**Euterpe** : Anyway, make sure that you do some progress about music.

**Tamaki** : Oh yeah, why are you even telling someone who is not associated to music all this? Shouldn't you find more professional musicians?

**Euterpe** : Because you believe in us.

**Tamaki** : Us, as in who?

**Euterpe** : You believe in gods, therefore here we are!

**Tamaki** : "We"? But I've only met you so far!

**Euterpe** : Don't worry, there will soon come a time where more gods or goddesses will flock your dreams.

**Tamaki** : I was expecting to increase my knowledge, not an interview with the gods in my literal dreams.

**Euterpe** : Well, Clotho did not specify, but music is going to affect your city in a large scale.

**Tamaki** : Clotho, huh?

**Euterpe** : Actually, not just your city, it'll affect the whole Jah-pan.

**Tamaki** : You mean "Japan"?

**Euterpe** : I am not familiar with that pronounciation, but yes.

**Tamaki** : What about Lachesis and Atropos? Did they have nothing to say?

**Euterpe** : Mortals aren't supposed to know their entire fate.

**Tamaki** : I agree. What's so fun knowing your entire life before getting to experience it? I'd rather be stuck wondering about it.

**Euterpe** : You're pretty wise for a rude mortal. I see that's why "they" chose you.

**Tamaki** : They who?

**Euterpe** : Not telling. Anyway, that's all for today. See ya!

(Euterpe stomps on Tamaki's foot and he wakes up)

**Tamaki** : For goodness' sake, can you pick a softer way to wake someone up?!

**Tamaki** : Ah, it's quite late. I should get ready and go get Fuyu.
