Chapter 2: Episode 2

Fantôme Iris' Bewilderment
While waiting for their turn, the members feel uneasy, but Felix's words calm them down.

 ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

— Backstage —

 FELIX:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Hm, those kids are quite amazing! I believe their name was Fujin RIZING, right, Tomoru?

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Yes. I thought that they'd be more nervous because of the sudden lineup change, but they seemed pretty excited.

 HARU:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎It’s like youth at full spin, and that’s pretty good!

 ZACK:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Ahaha...We’re not that young after all..

 D:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Since we're all around our 30's.

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎H-hey, we’re going next. Don’t say something so depressing!

 HARU:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎But it's the truth. The only ones still in their 20s are you and Jun, right?

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Yes, but...

 FELIX:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Well onstage, age doesn’t matter. All that does matter is how brilliant our performance is.

 D:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Agreed.

 ZACK:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Felix-san says really nice stuff...Ah!

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎What’s wrong, Jun?

 ZACK:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎My shoelace just broke...

 HARU:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎You're lucky that it happened before we started.

 ZACK:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎No, Koharu-san...This must be an omen...My guitar strings might snap, or the amp could explode...

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Or Tomoru could even get a sudden call from his company...

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎S-stop that! Don’t say such ominous stufF!

 D:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Well the thing from Tomoru’s company could actually happen...you never told them about the band, right?

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Not you too, Daimon-san, please stop!...Well it *is* true that I haven’t told them.

 FELIX:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Now is the time to forget about your normal jobs, everyone. Our live is about to begin, after all.

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎From here on out, this stage belongs to Fantome Iris. The world of vampires.

 D:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...That’s right.

 ZACK:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎YAHOO! ALRIGHT, LET'S GIVE THE AUDIENCE A PIECE OF OUR H\*\*\* LIVE! !

 HARU:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Oh, looks like Zack’s switch just flipped.

 Mod:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Fantome Iris, you're up!

 LIGHT:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Well then, shall we start, My lord?

 FELIX:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Ah, let us go.

 FELIX:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Now, my dear subjects! Tonight, we shall take you! with us!

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Under my call, the Silver Lilies shall bloom and go beyond this crimson night!

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Good job, everyone! Um, excuse me! I have to go back to the company after this..

 Koharu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Me and Daimon'll take care of the next meeting. Be safe out there!

 Daimon:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Tomoru, your eyeshadow isn’t fully removed yet.

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Thank you so much!.. Huh? Where’s Jun?

 Koharu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Over there, brooding.

 Jun:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎I'm sorry, Tomoru...

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Me falling during the live, the guitar strings snapping, and you being called to go to work are all because of my bad luck...All because my shoelace broke!

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Just how strong are those shoelaces...? If that’s the case, just wear laceless shoes!

 Felix:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎That’s right, Jun. It’s nothing to be worried about. Tomoru just likes to work a lot, after all.

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎There was a sudden change in specifics, so it can’t be helped. Plus, I can’t just discard my job halfway through...

 Koharu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Damn, you're really serious aren't you, Tomoru..

 Daimon:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎What about the live we'll have in 2 days? If you're unable to make it, I won’t force you to make yourself watch it.

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎No, I’ll watch! Since we’ve come all this way to Tokyo, I know I'll be able to handle both the band and my job!

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎We’ll win this Fes and prove it!

 Felix:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Mhm~, I admire that determination. Do your best, Tomoru.

 Tomoru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Then if you'll excuse me, I’ll be going first!
