## Transcript

[YamiTsume High Music Club, Morning]

(Azama sings and plays the guitar splendidly, with everyone in the room clapping)

**Azama** : Thank you, thank you!

**Miezu** : Well, here you go.

(Miezu hands him the blue notebook, and Azama writes his name on it)

**Miezu** : Welcome to the Music Club, Chosokabe-kun!

**Nagi** : Welcome!

**Azama** : Let us be more closely acquainted, senpais!

(The Music Club door opens)

**King** : ...?

**Azama** : ...?

**???** : ...

**King** : Dojima-kun?

**Hidetaka Dojima** : Rosenkreuz? What are you doing here?

**King** : Never mind that. Aren't you still in suspension?

**Hidetaka** : That's not the darn issue right now.

(Hidetaka looks at Miezu and Nagi)

**Hidetaka** : Are you the President of this club?

**Miezu** : That would be me.

(Miezu sits on her chair)

**Miezu** : Is there anything you need?

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Hidetaka bites his lip and trembles greatly)

**King** : ...?

(Hidetaka raises both of his hands upwards)

**Nagi** : ...!

**Palamedes** : ...!

**King** : Do-

(Hidetaka then grovels to the ground)

**King** : ...

**Palamedes** : ...

**Miezu** : ...?

**Nagi** : ...What are you-?!

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : Ngh...

**Hidetaka** : Please...

**Hidetaka** : I beg of you...

**Hidetaka** : Please...let me join this club!

**Miezu** : ...

**Nagi** : ...Do you have any musical experiences?

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Just then, Jinya and Oyamada enters the room)

**Jinya** : I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion, Tadashiro-senpai.

**King** : Zenkouji-kun.

**Jinya** : Oh, and I see His Highness Rosenkreuz is here. Howdy.

**Nagi** : Hey, aren't you missing someone here?

**Jinya** : Ah, Asagami-senpai.

**Jinya** : That aside...

**Jinya** : I will tell you what happened...and what caused Boss to do this.

(Jinya closes the door and explains the situation)

(As he explains further, Hidetaka starts crying and begged Miezu to let him join the Club)

(Jinya and Oyamada bows their head to the ground as well, while the others who heard Jinya's story are deemed speechless)

(Palamedes looks at King, who stared blankly at the crying Hidetaka)

(Miezu, Nagi, Azama and Palamedes felt the same. They didn't think it was such a desperate situation for Hidetaka and the others)

(They can only be surprised by the extent of the horrible reality that awaits Hidetaka should he fail to enter any clubs)

(Miezu closes her eyes and stands up, as she walks over to Hidetaka and gives him the blue notebook)

**Miezu** : ...

**Miezu** : This is the least I can do for you.

(Miezu looks at Hidetaka's bleeding forehead, and his fingers seems to have bled due to gripping his own hands too tightly)

**Miezu** : We'll help...in any way we can.

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Hidetaka exploded into tears and thanked them endlessly)

(It was the first time anyone has ever seen Hidetaka expressing his gratitude to someone else)

(Hidetaka soon writes his name in the notebook, his tears dropping even while he was writing his name)

**Nagi** : ...

(Nagi slams the table in anger)

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Nagi** : You said...you were rejected by every single club before coming here as your last resort.

**Jinya** : ...That's true.

(Nagi's face turns into anger as veins starts appearing on her hand)

**Nagi** : So tell me...

**Nagi** : ...who was monitoring the Drama Club at the time?

**Jinya** : ...

**Oyamada** : It was Nakamura.

**Oyamada** : Nakamura Ukon.

**Nagi** : ...Got it.

(Nagi leaves the room, anger in her eyes)

**Miezu** : \*sigh\* That girl...

**Miezu** : Anyways, I have to make a report on our sudden "influx" of members today. So, I'll be going to visit the Principal now.

**Hidetaka** : Tadashiro Mi-no, Tadashiro-senpai.

**Miezu** : Yes?

**Hidetaka** : ...Thank you very much. I will not forget this until the day I die.

**Miezu** : Ahaha, now that's just exaggeration.

(Miezu walks away, but she stops at the door)

**Miezu** : But...I understand you.

(Miezu turns to Hidetaka)

**Miezu** : That's why I decided to help you.

(Miezu smiles, before leaving the clubroom)

**King** : Dojima-kun, what will you do for the day?

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : ...I don't know.

**Jinya** : Boss, you're still in suspension. It would be better if you return home for now.

(Hidetaka seems unresponsive)

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : ...Alright.

(Hidetaka slowly walks over to the door)

**King** : ...

**King** : Dojima-kun.

(Dojima turns to King)

**Hidetaka** : ...What is it?

**King** : I'll wait for your return.

**King** : I know as classmates, we were never really close but...

(King walks over to Hidetaka and offers his hand)

**King** : Let us work together as friends, and together we'll learn music.

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Hidetaka ignores King's hand, and he walks out of the room)

**King** : ...

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : Don't get close...with someone like me.

**Hidetaka** : It'll only hurt...in the long run.

(Hidetaka leaves the room, prompting Jinya and Oyamada to leave as well)

**Jinya** : Please, excuse us.

**Oyamada** : \*nods\*

(Jinya and Oyamada follows Hidetaka)

**King** : ...

**Azama** : Look how horrified he is...'Tis a sad sight.

**Palamedes** : To think...someone would have the heart to do that.

**Palamedes** : If what Jinya said is true, then...

**King** : ...Then we need to inform Father about this.

**Azama** : ...

**Azama** : King, I think what he's dealing with might be too far from our reach.

**King** : Indeed.

**King** : But...I can't bear to see him like this.

**Azama** : Hm, maybe we can ask info from someone familiar with Dojima's family?

**King** : ...

(King thinks for a bit, then he suddenly thinks of something)

**King** : Oh.

**Azama** : ...There is?

**King** : ...Maybe there is someone who could help.

**Palamedes** : Very well, I suppose I shall travel around the school area until you are allowed to go home then, Your Highness.

**King** : Alright. You can walk around outside, too Palamedes. If someone were to ask about you, just show them your emblem.

**Palamedes** : I will do just that, Your Highness. Please continue your studies. You as well, Chosokabe.

(Palamedes bows and leaves the clubroom)

**Azama** : Now, King. What to do?

**King** : ...I'd say we practice some singing. We should at least stay here until Tadashiro-senpai or Asagami-senpai returns.

**Azama** : True. Very well, then! Let's use that room over there to sing to our heart's content!

**King** : ...

(King looks around the clubroom)

**King** : Say...

**King** : The clubroom looks rather...messy.

**Azama** : Hm? Ah, you're right.

**King** : What do you say if we clean it for them? We are members now, so we should at least fulfill our duties.

**Azama** : Very well! Let us start right away, my friend!

**King** : Hahaha, right.

(Azama and King starts putting the messy books back to the right order)

**Azama** : Books scattered and stacked near the shelves...perhaps the girls from before preparing for something.

**King** : Most likely.

(A bit later, Azama and King cleans the whole clubroom)

**Azama** : Phew, a job well done!

**King** : Nicely done.

(King offers Azama a fistbump, to which Azama bumps his fist into King's)

**Azama** : Hahaha...It's a pleasure to clean a room with a prince such as yourself.

**King** : Oh, come on. Even a prince has to do daily chores by himself.

**Azama** : Really? They let you do that?

**King** : "Being responsible over my own things" is one of my set orders for my retainers, so there's that.

**Azama** : I see. Not bad. Not bad at all.

(Just then, Miezu and Fuyu returns)

**King** : Fuyu...

**Fuyu** : I met Tadashiro-san on the way back. Looks like you two did it.

**Azama** : Indeed, there was no way we could fail such simple tests!

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu quietly stares at Azama)

**Azama** : I-I'm sorry. Perhaps I was too loud...

**Fuyu** : That's right.

**Miezu & King** : (S-She just agrees...)

(Miezu looks around the room)

**Miezu** : Oh, you two were cleaning the room?

**Azama** : Yes. We saw several stacks of books lying around, and some dust has gathered up at the shelves.

**Fuyu** : Ah.

**King** : Do you perhaps, in need of some of those particular stack of books?

(Fuyu walks over to the shelves and stares at it for a while)

**Fuyu** : ...It seems like you two set it up alphabetically. Then it shouldn't be that hard to find.

**Miezu** : Thank you for being such model students, you two!

**King** : ...It was nothing, really.

**Fuyu** : It was our mistake to leave it behind in the first place.

**Miezu** : It can't be helped. I mean, Sakaki did bolt out in the first place?

**King** : ...Wait, Sakaki?

**Miezu** : That's right. She's Yuna Sakaki, the ex-leader of Night Fall.

**King** : ...!

**Azama** : I heard of her. They said she went missing for weeks. How did you find her?

**Miezu** : ...

**Fuyu** : Tadashiro-san.

**Miezu** : I suppose it's fine if we tell you.

(Miezu tells King about how they found Yuna, and everything that happened during that process)

**King** : ...I see.

**Azama** : Still, that was pretty horrible.

**King** : And for it to happen right under our noses, too...

**Miezu** : Yes, and if it wasn't for "a certain someone"...

**Miezu** : ...We might never have found Sakaki in the first place.

**Fuyu** : ...

**Miezu** : Speaking of Sakaki...Fuyu, where is she?

**Fuyu** : With Lorraine-san, Saito-san and Tamami. They're taking her for a walk.

**Miezu** : How is she?

**Fuyu** : ...

**Fuyu** : I'm afraid what they did to her was worse than we thought.

**King** : "They"?

**Azama** : ....

**Miezu** : The one who abducted Sakaki in the first place...

**Fuyu** : Drasil High Academy.

**King** : So it was all their idea?

**Miezu** : We have solid proof, but they moved fast.

**Fuyu** : The day after we rescued Sakaki from them, the students involved with her abduction went missing right after.

**Azama** : But...wouldn't that makes them more suspicious?

**Miezu** : You're right, but here's the catch.

**Miezu** : Without the culprits around...who can we accuse for abducting Sakaki?

**Azama** : ...!

**Fuyu** : I asked Katayama about Drasil, and they seem to hold a lot of power in Kōtō.

**Miezu** : Which is why we of YamiTsume are merely defending ourselves from Drasil's wanton attacks, knowing they won't suffer any consequences in the long run.

**King** : Then, the Principal-

**Miezu** : You can forget about that part, Rosenkreuz-kun.

**King** : Eh?

**Fuyu** : In fact, it was Drasil's Principal who started the plan to turn Drasil into Kōtō's most influential school.

**Miezu** : By taking down other schools...by force, if necessary.

**King** : That's just...

**Miezu** : Absurd, yes. But since they hold much power, we were never be able to do much but protect our school from their clutches.

**King** : ...

(King stays silent for a bit)

**King** : Perhaps...

**King** : There is something I can do.

**Miezu** : ...

**Fuyu** : ...

**Azama** : King, you don't mean...

(King stands up)

**King** : I'll ask the Royal Family to side with YamiTsume.

**Miezu** : ...
