[YamiTsume Class 2-C, Morning]

**Female Teacher** : So now that you know these formulas, you should have no problem in the tests later!

**Bestisia** : I see....so to solve these questions, you need those formula...

\*Bzzt\*

**Miezu's** **Text Message** : Hi, this is a bit urgent, but.....can you come to the Music Club right now? Fuyu is already here.

**Bestisia** : (Tadashiro-senpai....)

**Female Teacher** : Bestisia-san, stop playing your phone in class and listen to the lesson.

**Bestisia** : U-um! Sensei, excuse me but, I need to go to the Music Club.

**Female Teacher** : The Music Club? Very well then, just show me the proof and you can go.

(Bestisia shows Miezu's message to the Teacher)

**Bestisia** : Oh yes, Saito-san will be coming with me too.

**Female Teacher** : Is my lesson really that uninteresting....? Alright, you two can go.

**Bestisia & Ayaka** : Please excuse us.

**Female Teacher** : Okay then, be careful on the way there.

**Bestisia** : Alright, Sensei!

(Bestisia leaves 2-C)

**Male Student** : Hey, Daisuke.

**Daisuke** : Zzzzz.....Huh....What-....Huh?

**Male Student** : Since when did Saito-san joined the Music Club?

**Daisuke** : \*yawn\* I dunno.....several days ago, I think.....or maybe yesterday...

**Male Student** : I...I see....

[Yamitsume High Music Clubroom, Morning]

**Bestisia** : I'm here!

**Ayaka** : S-so am I!

**Miezu** : .....Oh, good morning to you two.

**Fuyu** : Morning.

**Ayaka** : So.....what is the issue?

**Fuyu** : We haven't had an official name for the band yet.

**Ayaka** : Actually, I asked about that to Bestisia yesterday.

**Miezu** : I just remembered about it when I was about to go home.

**Fuyu** : ........

**Bestisia** : I-It's okay, Fuyu-san! After all, people do make mistakes sometimes.

**Fuyu** : I suppose....

**Ayaka** : (She's so overwhelmed by this......poor thing...)

**Fuyu** : I'm not good with names.....

**Bestisia** : Maybe.....maybe I can help....

**Ayaka** : You don't sound so sure....

**Bestisia** : I'm sorry......

**Everyone** : ........\*sigh\*

**Ayaka** : Don't lose hope, everyone! We can think of something soon enough! You'll see!

[Several Hours Later.....]

**Bestisia** : Hmmm.....

**Fuyu** : ......

**Ayaka** : Um....How about......"Guardians"?

**Fuyu** : .............

**Ayaka** : Uh......

**Bestisia** : "The Watchers"?

**Fuyu** : \*sigh\*

**Bestisia** : ........Alright.

[After School....]

**Ayaka** : Ah! This is irritating!

(Ayaka slams the desk as Tamaki and King enters the Music Club)

**Tamaki**: Whoa, what's wrong?

**Ayaka** : .....Huh?

**Fuyu** : Katayama-san.

(Fuyu looks at King, who is beside Tamaki)

**King** : Hello.

**Fuyu** : ....Rosenkreuz.

**Tamaki**: Looks like you're all been here since Fuyu excused herself. Is there any problem with the band?

**Bestisia** : Well, you see....

**Fuyu** : We're thinking what name would be suitable for our band, but unfortunately we don't have any ideas.

**Tamaki** : I see.....Then I'll help you out!

**King** : I'll help too!

**Bestisia** : Truly? Your help would be greatly appreciated, Tamaki-san, Rosenkreuz-san!

**Ayaka** : The more people we hvae, the more easier it is to think of a solution.

**Miezu** : What do you think, Fuyu?

(Everyone looks at Fuyu)

**Fuyu** : Sure, go ahead.

**Bestisia** : Then it's decided!

**King** : Tristan! Palamedes!

(Tristan and Palamedes enters the room)

**Tristan & Palamedes** : Yes, Young Master!

**Ayaka** : Whoa whoa whoa.....Who are these people?

**King** : My fabulous retainers.....or should I say butler and maid? Both are fabulous, anyway.

**Tristan** : Greetings, Young Master's Friends.

**Palamedes** : Palamedes, at your service.

**Ayaka** : They look like cosplayers....Are you sure they're butlers and maids?

**King** : Fabulously sure!

**Ayaka** : ........Okay.

**Bestisia** : Well, to have butlers and maids around isn't that much surprising, I guess....

**Fuyu** : ......How can they help?

**King** : Tristan is good at giving names, and Palamedes will give her ideas in case Tristan fails.

**Fuyu** : I see. What else?

**King** : They're both very proficient at cleaning. So, they can make your instruments polished and would feel like new.

**Miezu** : Does that mean.....less work for me?

**King** : Yup.

**Tristan & Palamedes** : We shall not disappoint!

**Fuyu** : Alright, we will start the discussion now.

[3 Hours Later....]

**Fuyu** : .........

**Tristan** : .......

**Palamedes** : .......

**King** : .......

**Tamaki** : .........

**Bestisia** : \*sigh\*

**Tristan** : This is unexpectedly more difficult at naming pets at Tintagel Castle.....

**Palamedes** : I'm sorry, Rosenkreuz-sama.....

**King** : Well, despite all that.....Good work every-

**Fuyu** : Good work for today. We'll see what we can think of tomorrow?

**Tamaki** : Phew, I'm beat......Anyone up for some ramen?

**Bestisia** : OH, ME! ME!

**Ayaka** : I can go.

**Tamaki** : .....Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : Sorry, I'm busy.

**Tamaki** : Alright. King?

**King** : Unfabulously, I can't go. I have some other business to deal with. We should get going, you two.

**Bestisia** : ("Un-Fabulously"?)

**Ayaka** : (Is that even a word?)

**Tristan & Palamedes**: Yes, Young Master!

(King and his servants leaves the room)

**Fuyu** : I should be going too. Have fun, you two.

**Bestisia & Ayaka** : Okay.

**Bestisia** : We'll send you pictures of the ramen later.

**Fuyu** : (smiles) Sure thing.

(Fuyu leaves the room)

**Tamaki** : That Fuyu.....she's been smiling a lot....

**Bestisia** : She must have been really excited about this band!

**Ayaka** : Yeah, it's like she wanted this to happen, deep down.

**Tamaki** : Yeah.....you could say that.

**Tamaki** : Anyways, we should go...

**Tamaki, Bestisia & Ayaka** : To the ramen shop!!

[Hallway, After School]

**Fuyu** : (This warm feeling......I've felt this way before.....)

**Fuyu** : (Was it when I befriended Hanami?......)

**Mizuki** : Fuyu.....Hime-san?

**Fuyu** : Who are you?

**Mizuki** : I'm just one of your underclassmen. Can you spare me some of your time? I just want to talk.

**Fuyu** : ....Make it quick. I'm very busy at the moment.

**Mizuki** : Sure. It won't take long.

[Outside of School Area, After School]

**Fuyu** : What is it that you wanted to talk about?

**Mizuki** : You are a member of the Music Club, are you?

**Fuyu** : ......Yes. Why?

**Mizuki** : ......I want you to....quit from the Music Club.

**Fuyu** : ......

**Mizuki** : Well?

**Fuyu** : You haven't answered my question.

**Mizuki** : What?

**Fuyu** : I said, "Who are you"?

**Mizuki** : I told you before, I'm your undercla-

**Fuyu** : Anyone with a clear eyesight could see that. I'm asking about your name.

**Mizuki** : Fine then. My name is Mizuki Tadashiro.

**Fuyu** : ....!

**Mizuki** : Miezu Tadashiro is my older sister.

**Fuyu** : What does this have to do with me quitting the club?

**Mizuki** : That club......I want to destroy that club......along with her hopes and dreams....
