## Transcript

[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.

(silence fills the air)

**Akira** : ......Hey.

**King** : Yes?

**Akira** : Let's talk. Not as Class Leaders, but as friends, this time.

**King** : ......Alright.

**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 kept 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 I'll be relieved by it....because I held on to those memories.

**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. But I guess that's natural. You just formed your band yesterday, after all.

**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 hits King's shoulder lightly)

**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** : Good luck.

**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** : After all, we're equals now, aren't we?

**King** : Of course.

(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'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)
