Kuro: Hm? What, they’re outta water? Guess I’ll just have tea.
Glug glug, Hahh…… That hits the spot. I was sweating a lot during the strength training.
I should get the guys in the trainin’ room some tea too. Uh, how many bottles is that……?
Tumblr media
Idol A: ――Those guys at Starpro……
Kuro:  (……Hm? I hear people talkin’. Did they say somethin’ about the guys at Starpro?)
Idol B: ―― Is it okay to be doing something like this……?
Idol C: ――It’s final.
Kuro: (It seems like a buncha suspicious talk.)
(Where are theyーー Aah, they’re in that hallway over there. I should hide myself.)
(Those guys… I think they’re from the same agency as I am.)
(I don’t know ‘em personally, but I’m pretty sure we passed each other a few times in ES. Just what the hell are they talkin’ about in that corner?)
Tumblr media
Kuro: ………
(It’s no use. I can hear bits and pieces, but I can’t hear the whole thing. But they way the were actin’ was just too suspicious.)
Idol A: It’s fine. If no one finds out, we’re in the clear.
Tumblr media
Kuro: ………
(They left……)
(What did that guy just say? What’d he mean, “if no one finds out”? He’s shady.)
(……Okay. I gotta go follow those guys.)
Tumblr media
Location: Forested Path
Kuro: They went to back around here…… I thought there was only a storage room for props here though.
What could they do in a place like this?
Tumblr media
Location: Set Piece Storehouse
Kuro: ………
(Okay I think I see someone in the backーー Yeah, as I thought, it’s those guys.)
(Hm? Is that the dragon boat we’re usin’ for the project? Was it kept here?)
Idol B: Hey. We really can’t get caught here.
Idol A: I know that! There’s no point to it if we get caught here. The boat has to sink for unknown reasons durin’ that race.
Kuro: ! Those guys…!
Hey! What the hell are you doing!?
Idol A: ! That hurts! What the hell!?
Idol C: You…… You’re Akatsuki’s Kiryuu aren’t you?
Kuro: Didn’t I ask what the hell you’re doin’?
Idol A: I didn’t do anything! Let go of my arm already!
Kuro: It’s useless to play dumb now. I heard what ya were talkin’ about earlier. You’re gonna drill a hole through the bottom of Starpro’s boat, right?
Don’t go doin’ somethin’ stupid.
Idol B: Stupid……? It’s not stupid! We got no choice but to do this! We try our best, but it never matters cuz Starpro just goes and steals our jobs!
You get it, don’t you Kiryuu!? I mean, you’re from Rhylink too!
Ah, I get it. The top idols at Rhylink don’t care about what’s happening to the underachievers in the agency, right!?
Idol A: It’s no good to wipe the stuff that was in that weekly magazine. It’s fine that we don’t get along.
Being good friends with Starpro? Don’t make me laugh!
Kuro: Hahh…… Quit all the yappin’. You’re too noisy.
‘Course I know what it’s like while workin’. I get how frustratin’ it is.
But there’s no point in ventin’ your frustrations like this.
There’s a buncha stuff that don’t go the way ya like in this industry. Small fights are even normal. But being an idol means taking the frustrations ya get from workin’ and using it to do your job even better.
Idol B and Idol C: ………
Kuro:  Look.
Idol A: Guh……! Damnit, stop twisting!
Kuro: I’m pretty much done here. Ya should be grateful I’m not beatin’ you to a pulp.
I’ll just report it to the higher ups this time. But I’ll at least include that it wasn’t that serious since it was a failed attempt.
Idol B:  W-Why……
Kuro: ……Well, everyone has moments where they lose their footin’. But it doesn’t change what’s been done. Ya need to reflect on your actions and become better people.
See ya.
Idol A: ――Don’t fuck with me……!

Tetora: Ah, Taishou! Welcome back. Practice is just about to start ssu~
Kuro: Sorry for comin’ back so late.
Tetora: Don’t worry about it. But it was a very long break.
And your mood is a bit different from usual, Taishou… Or well, it looks like you’re in a bad mood or somethin’… Did somethin’ happen?
Kuro: ……It’s like ya can see right through me, Tetsu.
Tetora: Eh? What’d you say? I didn’t hear what you were sayin’……?
Kuro: Nah. It’s nothin’, don’t worry ‘bout it. It’s just some personal business.
Tetora: …… Sigh. Taishou is really just like Morisawa-senpai ssu.
Kuro: What was that……?
Tetora: I didn’t say anythin’ either. Then, let’s start practicin’, Taishou!

Dragon's Head - Resume

Location: Training Room
Tumblr media
〈A few days later〉
Tumblr media
Adonis: Mm. Ah, it’s Anzu. What is it? Oh, did you come to watch us practice?
I see. There’s nothing to worry about. I think everything’s been good so far.
Ah, earlier we were practicing the basic stuff, like strength training and cardio. Now, we’re going to practice the roles we’ve been assigned.
Hiiro: Otogari-senpai. I got the equipment ready.
Hm? Umu, I see. We’re not allowed to bring the boat on land, so Tenshouin-senpai arranged some equipment for us to practice rowing.
It’s really impressive how convenient it is to be able to use tools like this……!
Tumblr media
Adonis: ………
Ah, no. It’s not the movement itself that’s difficult. Rowing through currents makes the oars really heavy, but we were chosen for the rowing role because we are strong.
It’s just hard to get in sync with everyone else. I’m sure it’ll be easier with a lot of practice, though.
Hm? You have a good idea, Anzu? What is it?
A metronome [1]? I understand. We should try syncing up our movements to the rhythm of a metronome…! That’s a good idea. Thank you, Anzu.
Hiiro: Then I shall go borrow whatever that metronome thing is!
Metronome…… That’s a difficult word to memorize, so I should try really hard to make sure I don’t forget it!
Then I’ll just repeat the word to myself until I find it. Metrohome……Metrohouse……Mechorohouse……Mechoropause……Necorobupause…… [2]
Adonis: Wait, Amagi!
Tumblr media
Adonis: ―― Aah, he left……
Then it can’t be helped. I’ll go with him. I’m sorry Anzu, I can’t talk with you any longer. I’m going to go as well.
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Don, don. Don ーー don. Don, don. [3]
Ah~…… I thought it’d be easy to play a taiko [4], but it’s surprisingly difficult to play a beat in a steady rhythm…… When I get focused on the rhythm, my hands don’t cooperate.
Uwaah!? You scared me~……
Aah, no it’s okay. I think my ears got numb from listening to myself drumming loudly for a long time. I’m sorry for not noticing you when you called out to me.
I see. I got assigned to play the taiko, but it’s really hard……
Eh. Tell Oogami-senpai?
Tumblr media
Koga: ……Hm? Oh. What is it, Anzu? What’d ya need from me? Just so ya know, I’m not in the competition.
If we were gonna compete with another agency, we thought it’d be better to have one person from various different units. So, Adonis is gonna represent Undead.
Tomoya: Really? Then why are you here, Oogami-senpai?
Koga: I’ve been assigned as a commentator. I thought I’d help out by watchin’ some practices to give some criticism before ya go on the show.
And? Why’d ya call me, Anzu?
Taiko? I don’t play the taiko, though?
… Well, I’ve messed around with the drums before, but I wouldn’t say I played seriously.
Hm? Show ya how to get used to rhythm?
Tomoya: Ah, yeah. It’s hard for me to hit the taiko in steady rhythm. Could you give me some tips?
Koga: What, that’s it? If that’s the case, ya should’ve said so sooner.
I guess I can help. Drums and taiko [4] use the same type of rhythm.
First, ya should be able to get a rhythm if ya use your feet or your body. It’s harder to stay on beat if you use your hands.
Tomoya: Ah. I see! Maybe I shouldn’t think so much about the rhythm in my head then……♪
Koga: It’s the same shit ya do during dance lessons, right? You’re thinkin’ about it too hard, dumbass.
Tumblr media
Eichi: Aah, Anzu-chan. Good timing. I wanted to ask you a few questions about the costumes. Is that fine?
Hm? Yes, that’s correct. I’m participating in the competition as a representative of Starpro’s fine.
Well, I’m not strong enough to row the boat like Otogari-kun and Hiiro-kun, so I’m going to be playing the role of a drummer.
Yes, that’s true. I’m going to join Mashiro-kun and the others for practice once we finish discussing the costumes.
Tumblr media
Tetora: Taishou~? Huh?
Oh, Anego. Sup~! I was lookin’ for Taishou, have you seen him?
Eichi: Kiryuu-kun? He just left the training room to drink some water.
Tetora: Oh really?
Umyuu. I guess I’ll just wait around til he comes back~.

This is what a metronome is!
Hiiro is progressively just changing one letter as he repeats metronome, but I didn't know how to write that well so I was writing words that seem similar visual wise not really sound wise . ex. he went from mekorohoosu to mekoropoosu , so i changed it from mechorohouse to mechoropause
The sound of Tomoya hitting a taiko
On that note , this is what a taiko is ! pretty much a japanese drum, but this goes into specifics ! :) I specified that it was a taiko because Koga mentions that drums and taikos are similar, so I'm assuming he's talking about a more western drum there.

Dragon's Head Interval - Chapter 2
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Firefly Riverbank
Tumblr media
Tetora: Hmm.
Personally, I wish martial arts wasn’t lumped together with violence. But martial arts is a no go since it’s too violent, right?
If that’s the case, it should be fine to have that type of variety show showdown we suggested in a studio somewhere as long as it doesn’t involve martial arts, right? Or is that not allowed?
Kuro: ’m not sure if that’s an option or not. But...
Tetora: Is there somethin’ you’re thinkin’ about, Taishou?
Kuro: From the viewer’s standpoint, a showdown in a prepared studio looks like it’s from a script.
‘Course, I’m sure the competition itself would be serious, but there’d definitely be parts of it that’s scripted, right?
But from the viewer’s perspective, it’s hard to tell which part is scripted and which part isn’t.
Well, I think somethin’ on TV like that could be enjoyed, preparation and all.
But what I think doesn’t matter here.
There’s gotta be somethin’ that shows the audience that we’re serious and that makes them believe that a bond was formed by the end of it.
Tetora: Hmm. So, the best thing to do is to come up with a sport other than martial arts…… Wouldn’t somethin’ like that be a real competition?
Kuro: Like baseball, soccer, or basketball?
These days, ya can watch pros play stuff like that as much as ya want, though.
Tetora: Well, yeah ssu. I’m not sure what would be somethin’ serious like a sports competition, unique enough to stand out, and fit as a showdown between our two agencies.
There’s nothin’ I can think of that would suit this project perfectlyーー
Tumblr media
Tetora: ………
Kuro: Hm? What’s up, Tetsu?
Tetora: ーーThat’s it! Taishou, I got somethin’ ssu! The perfect sport for the project!
Kuro: Hah……?
Tetora: I gotta go tell Tenshouin-senpai right now ssu! Taishou, c’mon get up!
Kuro: H-Hey!? I get it Tetsu, so stop pushin’ my back like that.
Tumblr media
Location: StarPro Office (Conference Area)
Eichi: ーー You have a good idea for the project?
Kuro: Sorry for callin’ ya out like this so suddenly. Tetsu says he suddenly got a good idea.
Eichi: Don’t worry about that. I’ve been at a loss thinking of alternatives for this project myself.
If Nagumo-kun truly has a good idea, I’d love to hear it.
So? What exactly is this alternative you’re proposing, Nagumo-kun?
Tumblr media
Tetora: That would be “Dragon boatin’ [1]” ssu!
Eichi: ……Dragon boating?
Tetora: Ossu! Umm, I thought of dragon boatin’ when I saw people racin’ in boats while we were at the riverbank.
Kuro: Aah, around that time huh. Now that you mention it, I think I remember seein’ somethin’ like that when we were eatin’ taiyaki.
Tetora: Yeah. I think regular boatin’ would be fine, but dragon boatin’ is flashier and the drums would add a rhythm, so I thought it’d be more memorable ssu.
Since, unlike basketball or soccer, most people probably haven’t heard of it. And since it’s a race, the rules are pretty simple, and it’s easy to see who’s the winner or the loser. What do you think?
Tumblr media
Eichi: Hm. Dragon boating huh……
I like it. Just like Nagumo-kun said, it’s a sport that aligns with what the project requires. And it sounds like it’d be interesting.
I think I’ll use this. Thank you for the good idea, Nagumo-kun.
Tetora: Really!? I’m glad it works!
Kuro: Ah, Tenshouin. Are ya gonna use the same members we had before?
Eichi: Mm? Yes, that’s correct. I already chose the members I originally selected for the project, so I’m planning to use the same ones. Since it’s a boat, it’s necessary to ensure we have enough people participating.
Kuro: ‘s that so. A boat is like a small ship, right……? It’d probably move a lot……
Tumblr media
Tetora: ? Taishou, what’s the matter ssu?
Eichi: Ah. Now that I think about it, Kiryuu kun isn’t good with riding around in vehicles, right? Keito mentioned something like that to me when we were thinking about the plan.
Tetora: Ah! That’s right, Taishou gets motion sickness…… Then, I guess we shouldn’t go with the dragon boating idea……
Eichi: As an idol, you should be prepared to travel for long periods of time, so I think this is a good opportunity to get yourself used to moving around on vehicles. Isn’t that right, Kiryuu-kun?
Kuro: That’s easy for ya to say…
Eichi: And you wouldn’t want to turn down your cute junior who spent so long trying to come up with an alternative plan, would you?
Kuro: ……Geez. I get it already. I can see that the project is at a standstill. I wasn’t goin’ to make you drop it just because I can’t do it myself.
Tetora: Eh… Taishou, are you sure? You don’t have to force yourself…
Kuro: It’s okay, I’m fine. I’ve managed up till now. I can handle this time, too.
Eichi: Great. It seems like we’ve reached an agreement. Then, let’s call Anzu-chan and start to plan this project.

Tumblr media
〈A few days later〉
Tumblr media
Kuro: Tetsu. Have ya finished shoppin’ yet?
Tetora: Ossu! Thank you for comin’ with me! Thanks to you, I was able to finish everythin’ I needed to do ssu. Are there any places you wanted to go to, Taishou?
Kuro: Me? Nah, I don’t need anythin’. I just wanted to come along for the walk.
Tetora: I see ssu. Then, where should we go nowーー Hm? Hmm~?
Ah, somethin’ smells super good ssu! Ugh, I just got so hungry, I couldn’t help but drool…
Kuro: Smells good…? Now thatcha say it, there is some kinda sweet smell floatin’ around.
Is that taiyaki [1]? Ah, it looks like it’s comin’ from that food truck over there.
Tumblr media
Tetora: ! Taiyaki! I love Taiyaki ssu! They’re super delicious ssu!
Kuro: Oh yeah, I think my lil’ sister said somethin’ like this was happenin’. That there was a stylish taiyaki shop that’s only open for a limited time downtown somewhere.
Tetora: Stylish? Is there a thing such as stylish taiyaki ssu?
Like is it not the normal fish shape? Maybe it’s a dressed-up fish? I dunno, I don’t think it matters if it’s dressed up or not. I think people would just eat it anyways…
Kuro: I think ya got the wrong idea of what stylish means.
In this case, I think they’re usin’ stylish to describe the fillin’. Normally, it’d be red bean paste fillin’ or cream fillin’, but this place ‘s sellin’ a variety of different ones.
It could be somethin’ as light as a dessert or as heavy as a light meal. Like how there’s different versions of crepes [1] with various ingredients.
My lil’ sister says they’re really popular ‘cuz they’re like a taiyaki restaurant with how many different varieties they have.
I think she recommended the ham and cheese one…?
Tetora: Ham and cheese! I love ham, cheese, and taiyaki ssu! ♪
Kuro: If ya like them so much, why don’t we buy some and go eat somewhere? I haven’t had lunch yet so I was just startin’ to get hungry.
Tetora: Ossu! Yeah, let’s do that!
Tumblr media
Kuro: Tetsu, here.
Tetora: Thank you ssu! Uumyu. I wanna eat right now, but I dunno if I want to eat standin’ right here. It’s a holiday, so it’s kinda crowded…
Kuro: That’s trye. We should go somewhere else.
Tetora: Ah. Then, should we go eat at the riverbank ssu?
Like, we used to go eat food at the riverbank after we finished club activities, right? It’d have a lotta places to sit down, and it’s warm, so it’d be nice to go there ssu.
Kuro: Ohh, that’s right. Nice idea, Tetsu.
Tumblr media
Location: Firefly Riverbank
Kuro: Man, it’s been a while since we’ve been here huh.
Tetora: Ah, Taishou! I think this bench here is free ssu!
……Alright! Then, thank you for this meal~! Chew chew……♪
Mmm~! The sweetness of the dough and the savoriness of the ham and cheese go so well together…!
I always thought of taiyaki as somethin’ like a dessert, but somethin’ like this could be a meal!
I hope they add more meat options to the menu next time~ Like kalbi [2] taiyaki!
Which taiyaki did you get, Taishou?
Kuro: Hm? Me? I just got the normal bean paste one.
Tetora: Ehh? After seein’ all those options, you got the normal one? Why?
Kuro: ‘s just a personal preference of mine to get the kind I’m used to durin’ these kinds of things.
Besides, my lil’ sister brings home a lotta food from “stylish” places. Gettin’ to eat the normal version of foods is more rare than not. ‘s nice to have after a while.
Tetora: I see ssu. Well, it’s very Taishou-like to pick somethin’ normal like that. Chew chew…
Oh yeah, I haven’t heard anything from Tenshouin-senpai since everythin’ went down. What ended up happenin’ with the project ssu?
Kuro: I dunno. From the way Tenshouin was actin’ before, it must be hard to have to a lotta different obligations.
Tetora: Right ssu. That’s why it’s so hard to get in touch with Anego too…
Since Tomoya-kun and I were the ones who found the weekly magazine, we’ve been wonderin’ what was goin’ on.
I wish there was a way I could help out.
Kuro: To do that, ya have to come up with a plan that’s good for both agencies, somethin’ that works with the management, and somethin’ that changes the fans opinions who are strugglin’ with the whole issue.
That bein’ said… I’m not that good with variety type shit to begin with.
Tetora: Hm~………

Tomoya: Excuse me. Good work today~……
Tetora: One two~, three four~. Two two~, three four~ [1]. Hiiro-kun, make sure to stretch really well, okay?
Hiiro: Umu! I understand, Buchou. If you don’t stretch properly, you can get injured, so I’ll do it well. One two~, three four~. Two two~, three four.
Koga: Hey, Adonis. Let’s spar together ‘kay?
Adonis: Okay, I don’t mind. But Oogami, do we have to go that far when you're not competing in the show?
Koga: Heheh, don’t say things like that. You and I are friends.
C’mon, put on your gear already. I’m gonna beat the shit outta you ♪
Adonis: Hm? You’re going to be the one hitting? Oogami, maybe you just wanted to get your body moving?
Kuro: Aaand thereーー that’s enough punchin’ bags, right? I think we have this many people.
Lil’ miss might be stoppin’ by to check out how things are goin’, so maybe I should get a chair ready for her too.
Tumblr media
Tomoya: ……
I don’t understand why I was chosen as a member for this!!
Tetora: Ah, Tomoya-kun. Sup~☆ What’s up? You just came in yellin’ all of a sudden.
Tomoya: No no! This is crazy, right!? The “The Starpro Rhylink Reconciliation Strategy” is a martial arts battle between both sides, right!?
So why was I chosen for this!? I can’t fight at all!?
Eichi: That’s because I recommended you, Tomoya-kun.
Tomoya: Ehhhh!? But why would you do that!? You’re participating too, right Tenshouin-senpai? Then just join by yourselfーー
Ah, is this your way of trying to be considerate to me? Sharing your work? Thanks, but no thanks. Please just compete by yourself.
Tumblr media
Eichi: I’m not trying to be considerate. Have you taken a look around you? I have no other choice.
We’re surrounded by people with the strength of gorillas. Ah, maybe it’s more accurate to say they’re like gorillas themselves.
And yet I, someone as frail as a gazelle, got thrown in the middle. There’s no way I could compete in something like this, right?
Tumblr media
Eichi: That’s why I recommended Mashiro-kun as a person I could compete with ♪
Tomoya: You’re not being considerate of me at all, are you. I’m more of a sacrifice than anything.
Koga: Haah? Just who are you calling a gorilla, Tenshouin-senpai? [2] Don’t blame me when I bite back after you talk shit behind our backs.
Eichi: Hey now, I never said that. I’d like it if you didn’t put words in my mouth. I said, “people with the strength of gorillas.”
Tomoya: You literally called them gorillas right after though……
Eichi: Did I now?
Ah, it’s my phone.
…Hm? Why are they calling me?
I’m going to step outside for a bit, so you can begin practicing without me. Helloーー
Koga: Aah. That bastard~ He just said his piece and ran away!
Tomoya: Sigh…… Based on how Tenshouin-senpai responded, it doesn’t look like I can get out of this one……
Tumblr media
Tetora: Hi~yah!
Tumblr media
Hiiro: Guh……!
Kuro: And there it is, technique! With that, Tetsu wins based on points!
Hiiro and Tetora: Thank you very much!
Hiiro: As I expected, you’re great, Buchou. I thought you were going to strike towards the upper half. I totally read that wrong!
Tetora: Yeah, I knew you were being wary of me striking you at the upper half, Hiiro-kun~. Tomoya-kun, you should join us next time ssu!
Tomoya: Absolutely not! That’s definitely impossible! Hell no! We’re at totally different levels! I’d die, y’know!? At the very least, let me fight against Tenshouin-senpaiーー
Wait, huh? Speaking of Tenshouin-senpai, he’s been on the phone for a long time, hasn’t he?
Koga: Maybe he got scared and ran away~.
Kuro: He doesn’t seem like the type of guy to run away like that…… I wonder what happened.
Adonis: Ah, Tenshouin-senpai is coming back.
Kuro: Hey. Ya were gone for quite a while. Any trouble? If ya can’t make it to practice today, it’s fine.
Eichi: Trouble… Yes. You can say I ran into trouble. Big trouble.
―― Everyone, we’re going to have to cancel today’s practice.
Kuro: Ha? The hell’s that mean?
Tetora: Literally ssu. It was really hard to get everyone’s schedules lined up for this…. Why do we have to cancel so suddenly?
Eichi: That call I just took was from the management at ES. They told me that we have to stop this plan.
Tetora: Ehhh!? Stop the plan… But why now!?
Tumblr media
Eichi: Well, it’s not like I didn’t consider this possibility.
If two agencies that have been rumored to be on bad terms suddenly appeared on a TV show fighting each other, it might give an even worse impression of both agencies.
If they want to limit the number of risks taken, it’s not hard to imagine why they would be reluctant to go through with a project like this.
In fact, both Anzu and I understood these risks when we came up with the plan.
However, since this kind of project has many risks, it gives a sense of authenticity, even if it’s dramatic.
The more drama there is, the easier people are influenced.
Good grief. I thought the managers understood that. I didn’t think they’d be so spineless…
But since it got rejected, there’s nothing I can do but follow what they say.
Tomoya: So, are you going to come up with another plan?
Eichi: Perhaps. It’s hard to do anything right now. They asked me to come up with an alternative plan, but I haven’t came up with one yet.
At any rate, today’s practice has been cancelled. I will contact you all if there’s any progress made.

They're doing that type of counting where you say which set you're on as you count. So like, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (1) 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (2), and so forth. I hope that made sense TOT
Koga's being sarcastic here ofc, but he also said senpai in katakana instead of 先輩, so I italicized it for emphasis.

Dragon's Head - True Intentions and Stances - Chapter 3
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Meeting Room
Tumblr media
Kuro: I more or less get why ya called us out now, but… Can we really do somethin’ like wipin’ out the whole problem?
Hm? What’s wrong, Lil’ miss?
Huh, so you came up with a plan. That musta been a disaster for you too, Lil’ miss. Sorry that ya had to get caught up in this mess.
Eichi: Yes. You truly saved us here, Anzu-chan. I only asked you to think of one yesterday, so I wasn’t expecting you to have an entire proposal written out already.
Tetora: The proposal is calledーー “The Starpro Rhylink Friendship Strategy” ……? It’s a pretty fun sounding title, considering the circumstances ssu.
Tomoya: It says “I didn’t put much thought into the title” underneath it.
Eichi: Well, I don’t exactly care for the name of the plan as long as the contents are good. So? What does the plan say?
Tetora: Hmhm. So, you’re aimin’ for the world record by participatin’ in an endurance challenge using giant dominoes……?
Eichi: I see. So, you want to show teamwork by helping each other out while holding up dominoes.
Dominoes huh…. This is probably our best suggestion.
Tetora: Eh? Why’s that ssu?
Eichi: This isn’t a regular scheduled event, so we want to try to avoid a big budget. Also, things such as days and effort need to be limited as well.
From that point of view, I think the dominoes are our best angle at clearing things up while keeping the project affordable.
Tetora: If it’s about showin’ that Starpro and Rhylink are on good terms with each other, will everyone here be in charge of this stuff ssu?
Eichi: Well, possibly yes. I haven’t made any final decisions about the members yet, though.
Tetora: Uumyu. If we are, I’m not great at this kinda thing y’know?
It’s a problem for me if I can’t move much or haveta limit myself.
Kuro: I’m the same way. I’m no good at stuff like that.
Tetora: Eh? Really Taishou? I thought you’d be better at stuff like settin’ up dominoes though, since you sew and are pretty crafty and stuff.
Kuro: I don’t mind workin’ with my hands. It’s more of an issue of my body not bein’ suited to work with a limited amount of space.
I’d be afraid to even breathe while tryna avoid knockin’ over dominoes.
Eichi: I see. I don’t really have time to care about your preferences, though.
It’s important to have mishaps happen as well. If nothing like that happens, I’d just write a scenario into the script.
Tetora: Uu~… I know there’s no helpin’ it, but I don’t like that sorta thing. It doesn’t feel like it’s authentic ssu.
Eichi: If you don't think these things are a part of being an idol, you’ll never get used it. I don’t think you can call me evil for thinking this way, either. We’re just performing a script at the end of the day.
Tetora: That’s one way of puttin’ it~
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Performing a script……
Hm~……
Eichi: Hm? What are you thinking, Mashiro-kun?
Tomoya: Ah. Ummm…… I don’t want to rain on your parade or anything since you seem settled on this idea though……
Eichi: Don’t worry about that. If you feel like you want to comment on something, I’d like you to say it.
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Then……
Maybe it’s just because I’m a normal person, but I generally tend to believe things I see. That’s only if I don’t have any bias already, though.
Um. Basically. If I believed that Starpro and Rhylink didn’t get along with each other from the start, and then I suddenly got shown stuff about them being friendly with each other…
Wouldn’t that look super scripted? I don’t know the right way to say this, but…
Ah. Yeah, Anzu-san, that’s what I’m trying to say! Preconceived notions are getting in the way.
Eichi: So, what you’re saying is, it’s hard for people to believe the new depiction if they already believed something different to begin with.
Kuro: That’s true. I think there’s a good chance that some people would believe it, but there’d be a good portion of people who don’t. That might cause issues later.
Tetora: It’s like how us in Ryuuseitai were beaten by Crazy:B in the Idol Royale~
Most people tend to believe bad news more…… What was it called, that feeling?
Eichi: That is also a preconceived notion. Most people believe that bad news should stay hidden.
That’s why whenever you’re quick to say, “that’s wrong”, it makes you look more suspicious in the end.
Tumblr media
Kuro: Like a conflict bond......
(I’ve been feelin’ like I knew a situation like this for a while now…) 
……
―― Aah, that’s right. I remember now.
It’s not the exact same, but it’s kinda similar……
Tetora: What’re you thinkin’, Taishou?
Tumblr media
Kuro: ……
So… Well, delinquents usually belong to some group or are in charge of some kinda territory.
Obviously, this leads to conflicts. And the solution to those is usually…
Tumblr media
Eichi: A fight?
Kuro: …… Yeah. But there’s this weird thing that happens. When ya get into a fist fight, ya start to recognize each other’s strength. It usually results in some kinda sense of respect for one another.
Sometimes, a weird bond gets developed after the fight’s over.
I just thought the situation was kinda similar to that. ‘s all.
Eichi: Hm……
Yes? You just thought of another idea, Anzu-chan? What a coincidence. So did I.
Kiryuu-kun’s story gave me a strange idea. If preconceived notions would get in the way, then we’ll just change it so that they don’t.
Tomoya: Eh? You can do something like that?
Eichi: Yes, it’s quite easy. So, we’ll go along with the idea that Starpro and Rhylink are on bad terms.
Tomoya: Ehhh!? Isn’t that against the whole point we were trying to make?
Eichi: Fufu. Earlier, you mentioned that people are susceptible to preconceived notions. But I believe they are even more susceptible to something else.
Tomoya: Huh?
Eichi: That is, drama, of course.
Tomoya: D-Drama…?
Tetora: Hmm? Anego, you’re changin’ the proposal ssu?
The title went from “The Starpro Rhylink Friendship Strategy” to “The Starpro Rhylink Reconciliation Strategy” ……?

Location: Starmony Dorms (Common Room)
Tumblr media
〈A few days later〉
Tumblr media
Tetora: Aahh…! Uwaah, don’t go that way, main character!
There’s a monster with a clenched fist that got sealed up a thousand years ago! As soon as you go over there, it’s gonna put a buncha holes all over your body ssu!
It’s not too late to turn back! MAIN CHARACTEEEEEEER!
―― Hm? Did I get a message on my phone ssu?
Wah, I got distracted by my phone and the movie kept playin’! Hold on, lemmie pause it…
Ugh, who is it? I was in the middle of really interestin’ part…
Wait, it’s from Anego? What is it? I wasn’t supposed to be workin’ today.
Umm. “Good work today. There is an urgent meeting about the matter we discussed the other day. Do you have time today?”?
The thing we talked about the other day was… the weekly magazine? Well, I guess I’ll find out if that’s it once I get there. Umm... “I’m… on… my way… ssu…” [1] …there.
Sigh… I guess I’ll just leave the rest of this movie for another day huh~.
Tumblr media
Location: Starmony Dorms (Exterior)
Tetora: Oh? Over there isーー
He~y! Taishou~!
Tumblr media
Kuro: Hm? Aah, it’s Tetsu. What a coincidence.
Tetora: Ossu! Where are you headin’ to ssu?
Kuro: Ah. Well, I’m supposed to be representin’ Hasumi, but I got called to ES by the Lil’ miss and Tenshouin. I’m on my way now.
Tetora: Ehh, you too, Taishou? I’m also on my way to ES ssu. Anego just called me.
Kuro: What, so we’re goin’ to the same place? Then, let’s walk there together.
Tetora: Ossu!
Tumblr media
Tetora: ………♪
Kuro: What is it? Ya seem to be in a good mood. Somethin’ good happen?
Tetora: Hehe, I was just thinkin’ that it’s been a while since we walked together like this~ that’s all.
Kuro: Hm?
Tetora: See, Taishou already graduated from school, right? We haven’t been able to walk home together after club activities ssu.
Plus, even when we end up workin' together, we always end up leavin’ by ourselves.
That’s why I was happy to be able to walk with you like this ssu……♪
Kuro: Hahah, now that ya say it, that’s definitely true. Tetsu used to follow me around a lot at school.
Tetora: Ou, hey, T-Taishou!? Stop, don’t mess up my hair like that~!
Kuro: Haha. Hey, we shouldn’t keep the Lil’ miss and Tenshouin waitin’. Let’s go to ES, Tetsu.
Tetora: Ossu! Let’s go!
Tumblr media
Location: Meeting Room
Tomoya: Ah, Tetora and Kiryuu-senpai. Good work today.
Kuro: Oops, were ya waitin’ for us to come? Sorry for bein’ late.
Tetora: Really sorry for makin’ you wait ssu!
Eichi: Don’t worry about it. We were the ones who called you over so suddenly.
Tomoya: Plus, we only just got here ourselves, so please don’t worry about it.
Kuro: ‘s that so. And? Why’d ya call us all out here on such short notice?
Eichi: Anzu-chan, could you hand out those printed copies to everyone?
Tetora: Hmm? What’s this for ssu? It looks like a bunch of comments from SNS……
Eichi: That’s correct. It’s a collection of the fans’ opinions after reading that weekly magazine that was brought up a couple days ago.
Tetora: The weekly magazine?
Ah, Taishou. The thing about the weekly magazine wasーー
Kuro: Aah, no need to explain. Hasumi explained that to me a bit. That was the thing that had a bunch of complicated stuff goin’ around, right?
But I thought Tenshouin and the Lil’ miss said not to worry ‘bout it since it wasn’t that big of a deal?
Eichi: We did, but…
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Uwaah. What is this…
Tetora: ? What’s the matter, Tomoya-kun?
Tomoya: The fans seem really upset. There’s a bunch of really rough feedback…
Tetora: Eehh!?
Tumblr media
Eichi: Yes. It seems I underestimated how much this issue would affect our fans.
Apparently, fans of idols from various agencies got into a dispute over the content of the article. The situation ended up causing a flame war.
It seemed to have been over something small at the beginning. But now, it sparked into something that goes beyond what the article in the weekly magazine was talking about.
In the span of a few days, the situation has quickly spiraled out of control.
Good grief… I truly was not expecting this. I never thought the fans would get this upset about something we decided wasn’t a big deal…
Tetora: But won’t this just go away after a while?
Tumblr media
Eichi: You would think so. But at the rate that this is going, it’s going to take a very long time for this to settle down.
This goes past disputes over the contents of the article. The fans are even bringing up past grievances. At this point, they’re just lashing out at each other.
Of course, both agencies have decided that we cannot overlook this situation.
I called everyone here to ask you to brainstorm ideas on ways we can improve the image for our respective offices.

Dragon's Head - True Intentions and Stances - Chapter 1
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: StarPro Office (Conference Area)
Tumblr media
Tetora: Excuse me!
Tomoya: Good work today, Tenshouin-senpai and Anzu-san.
Eichi: Hello. Good work today, both of you.
I suddenly received a call from Nagumo-kun, so I invited Anzu-chan to join us.
So, what is it? What exactly did you want to report? Judging from the text I got, Nagumo-kun seemed quite panicked.
Tumblr media
Tetora: Right ssu! I found somethin’ really bad! Earlier today, when Tomoya-kun and I were at the bookstore, we found this weekly magazine!
I thought it was somethin’ worth reporting, so I quickly reached out to you to ask for some time to show it to you ssu!
I mean, this is a hoax! A hoax like this shouldn’t be allowed to be published, right!?
Tumblr media
Eichi: Hmm? Let’s me see.
Ah. So it’s this. Anzu-chan look, it’s the thing I was telling you about earlier.
Tetora: The thing you were talkin’ about earlier? Does that mean you and Anego knew about the magazine already, Tenshouin-senpai?
Eichi: Yes, I was aware that this article would be coming out soon. From the looks of it, it was released today.
Tomoya: Well, I’m relieved that our seniors know about it at least… But, isn’t this bad? The contents of this article are pretty bad.
Eichi: I’m not surprised that you both seem so startled by this. Normally, ES would have had articles such as this suppressed before it was even publicized.
Tetora: Eh? You had stuff like this happen before?
Eichi: Of course. This kind of thing can’t be avoided when you’re in this line of work.         
I would’ve stopped the article from being published under normal circumstances, but things at ES were a little hectic. It seems the publishers took advantage of that and published the article before I could get to it.
Tomoya: So, something like that was happening huh… Then, why can’t you just request that the publisher remove it now?
Like Tetora was saying earlier, the article is a hoax to begin with.
Look, this photo―― I was actually there too. But the way the article describes what was happening is all wrong. I mean, the atmosphere was light-hearted.
Eichi: Well, I wouldn’t say it was a hoax.
Tomoya: Ohh… So, it wasn’t a hoaxーー
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Ehhh!? Really!?
But…… The atmosphere really was nice……
Eichi: Ah, sorry I think you misunderstood me. I wasn’t talking about the picture. If we were only talking about that, then it’d be just like Mashiro-kun said. A peaceful scene.
I was actually talking about the article itself.
Tumblr media
Tetora: Eh? What’s up, Anego? You’re sayin’ it’s right here in the article?
Ummm. “There are reports that Starpro is trying to steal projects from the idols in Rhylink.
All the while Rhylink are sabotaging new and upcoming idols joining Starpro. Actions such as these are what is causing such a big rift to form between the agencies.” ……?
Eichi: Yes, that one. These types of problems are common in every office, whether big or small.
I mean, that’s to be expected, is it not? We are fighting for a single seat in the same field.
So, there could be conflicts between idols over the smallest of things.
Well, those are usually settled behind the scenes before it scales into something bigger.
That’s how these things are in this industry. Wherever a light shines, there will always be a shadow. The stronger the light shines, the deeper and darker the shadow becomes.
Tetora: Then, wouldn’t it be even worse for articles like this to be published? Maybe it’s like Tomoya-kun said, we should just ask for it to be taken down……
Eichi: Unfortunately, it’s too late now.
Especially since it’s the truth. Imagine, after the article was published and many people saw it, we desperately try to take it down and tell everyone that it was all just a hoaxーー
Do you think that would be believable to the public?
Tetora: Uumyu… I think I’d wanna believe it, but I’d probably start wonderin’ if you’re bein’ desperate ‘cuz you’re hidin’ somethin’ ssu.
Eichi: Exactly. Whether it’s just gossip, a hoax, or even the truth has nothing to do with it. The only thing that matters is whether the public would believe it. 
That’s why it’s important to not get too hasty when articles like this get released.
Tomoya: I understand~ Looking at it that way, I can see how just leaving it be is the least harmful.
Tumblr media
Eichi: Anyways, it’s important for the managers of idols to keep an eye on weekly magazines such as these and to make sure they don’t appear.
I suppose I made a mistake this time.
Well, there’s no use in lamenting it now. We should use this mistake as a learning tool and get better at censoring these things. Let’s do our best, Anzu-chan.
Yes, I’m relieved to hear you say that.
And both of you as well. Thank you for going out of your way to inform me about this.
I know it’s not comforting to hear this after a frightening discussion, but please don’t worry about it.
It’s a more common issue in places other than the idol industry as well.
There’s not much we could do about it unless someone was deliberately trying to sabotage us.
Tumblr media
Location: ES Lobby
Tetora: ……Well that was interesting ssu~
Tomoya: There’s probably way more things they’re doing than they told us about too. Managing an idol agency must be hard.
Tetora: I’m just gonna let the higher-ups worry about difficult things like that. At the very least, I was relieved by seein’ how calm Tenshouin-senpai and Anego were!
Tomoya: Right. I’m glad we came to report that to them.

Location: Bookstore
Tumblr media
〈At the bookstore in the downtown area〉
Tumblr media
Tetora: Tomoya-kun, sorry to keep you waitin’ ssu! The line at the register was really long.
It took a long time huh~. You had some free time to look around while you were waiting, right ssu?
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Yeah. I was just looking at all the books around. Did you find the book you wanted?
Tetora: Ossu! I was able to find what I wanted ‘cuz of you~. Look, “The Way of Karate—Monthly”! If I forgot anythin’ else, it doesn’t matter! This one is the one I really don’t wanna miss!
What were you lookin’ at before, Tomoya-kun?
Tomoya: Hm? I’ve just been wandering around the manga corner the whole time.
I thought using e-books was easier since it takes up less space, but sometimes it’s nice going to a bookstore~
See, the staff here sets up the manga section with stacks of manga underneath popups for recommendations. I end up finding manga I never would’ve found before!
Tetora: That’s like buying books based on their covers ssu~
Ah, did you see any mangas you wanna buy, Tomoya-kun? I can wait around this time.
Tomoya: Hm~. I think I’m good. I don’t want to spend any more of the money I have on hand today.
Tetora: That so? Then, let’s go back ssu~
Tomoya: Okay~
Tumblr media
Tomoya: ……… (Staring intensely)
Tetora: ? Tomoya-kun? What corner are you lookin’ atーー Aah, that’s the weekly magazine corner isn’t it? What, were you thinkin’ of getting one ssu?
Tomoya: Ahaha…. No~. It’s just, I realized that ES really made idols a more prominent discussion, right?
So maybe I just get too defensive whenever I see idols being talked about in weekly magazines like this.
It’s weird right? I’m not even doing anything wrong, so it’s not like the paparazzi is going to pop out and take pictures of me.
Tetora: Nah, I kinda get what you’re sayin’! It’s like that feelin' you get when you see a police car. I’m not even committin’ crimes, so it’s not like I’m gonna get arrested, but… I always get kinda nervous seein' one ssu.
Tomoya: Right! That’s exactly it!
Tetora: I understand what you’re feelin’, but don’t worry! You don’t needta be nervous! It’s not like we have anythin’ to do with this magazineーー
Tumblr media
Tetora: Huh!?
Eh? Eehh!? Wait a sec, ssu!
Tomoya: W-What is it? What’s the matter…?
Tetora: Tomoya-kun, look at this weekly magazine ssu!
Tomoya: Let me see… “Starpro VS Rhylink, a new spark in the entertainment industry!?” ……?
Starpro and Rhylink… They’re talking about the agencies we work for, right? Not something with the same name or abbreviation?
Tetora: I don’t think they could be talkin’ about anythin’ else… Here, lemmie look at what the article says ssu.
Tumblr media
Tetora: Ummーー “Two major entertainment agencies, Starpro and Rhylink,
A credible source informed us that there was a heated confrontation hidden under that peaceful façade they are maintaining to the public.
Both Starpro and Rhylink have a large number of top idols. They’re undoubtedly major agencies in the entertainment industry.
While both agencies are respectable figures in the industry, they’ve secretly been engaged in frequent infighting.
There are reports that Starpro is trying to steal projects from the idols in Rhylink, while Rhylink are sabotaging new and upcoming idols joining Starpro.
Actions such as these are what is causing such a big rift to form between the agencies.
Some reports even indicate that Starpro is trying to convince an ace idol at Rhylink to leave the agency and join Starpro instead.
On top of that, there are even rumors that Rhylink is offering an exclusive contract to a Starpro idol”?
Tumblr media
Tetora: What is this ssu…? Was somethin’ like this really happenin’ when I had no idea?
Tomoya: Hmm… I don’t know.
Ah, but all of us in Ra*bits were at the scene this picture was taken in.
It looks like Rhylink and all the other staple idols were fighting if you add the context of the article. But, from what I remember, the atmosphere was actually pretty playful and light.
So, I don’t think there’s any hostility there~
I can’t go as far as to say the whole thing is a hoax, but I do think it’s pretty exaggerated.
Tetora: Do ya think the higher ups in the office know about the article ssu? And Anego too?
Tomoya: I don’t know. But it’s probably better to report it ourselves, just in case.
Tetora: That’s true. Let’s head over to ES and report it ssu!

Location: Aquaria Park (Cove)
Tumblr media
〈15 minutes until the event ends〉
Tumblr media
Chiaki: Hmm~… Not here, huh. This is where the last clue leads to, though…
There’s only 15 minutes left too… I wonder how the other teams are doing? It’s hard to tell if we’re doing better or worse since the treasure map is different for each team.
Eichi: There would be an announcement if someone finished already, so I don’t think anyone found the treasure yet.
Chiaki: What!? Then we have to hurry up and find it before anyone else does! Let’s look again!
Eichi: Okayーー
Woah…!
Chiaki: ! Tenshouin, you’re staggering! Are you okay?
Ah, now that I think about it… We’ve been moving a lot… All day, we’ve been swimming, treasure hunting, and just overall using our bodies a lot.
I wonder if it’d be fine if we took a little rest…?
Eichi: I wasn’t staggering. I just tripped over a small step.
Don’t make that kind of face. It’s different from last year. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been getting a lot better. My physical condition seems to be really stable right now.
Just because you were able to get healthier now doesn’t mean you need to treat me like I’m still the same sickly kid as before.
Chiaki: What are you talking about? You and I are the same, aren’t we?
I wasn’t treating you like that because I think I’m better than you, much less because I pity you either. It’s because I understand what it’s like. I’m just concerned as someone who’s been in that position before. I’m concerned because I’m your friend.
Tumblr media
Eichi: ………
That’s all the more reason not to worry. That is, if you really do understand what it’s like.
Chiaki: Is that so? I guess I’m easy to worry. Other people say the same thing too. That I’m good-natured or something? It’s hard for me to not worry.
Alright then, let’s continue the treasure hunt! Because we could still come out first!
Eichi: Yes, let’s. Since we are participating, aiming for 1st place is the only way to go. Winning is what’s fun about games.
Chiaki: Okay! Then, let’s go check out those bushes over there!
Eichi: I’ll help you look too.
…Hm. It doesn’t seem to be around here.
Chiaki: Yeah, same for me…
Eichi: (Just where in the world is that treasure? I know I said I’d help out with looking in the bushes, but I don’t think they would hide it in a place like this.)
Chiaki: Say, Tenshouin~
Eichi: What is it? Actually, you’ve been talking a lot since the beginning, haven’t you Chiaki? If you want to find the treasure, it’s best to move your hands more than your mouth.
Chiaki: It’s fine! I’m still searching thoroughly. This is like… a chat while searching.
See, it’s not fun to search silently without talking to each other at all, right? It’s a timed event, after all.
Eichi: Well, I guess I don’t see the harm in it. Then? What is it?
Chiaki: Do you remember the promise we made that long summer ago?
Tumblr media
Eichi: ………
What promise are you talking about? I don’t remember anything like that.
Chiaki: I see. If you don’t remember, it’s okay.
Alright! I finished checking the bushes, but I can’t find anything. I wonder where the treasure really is?
Let’s look on the other sideーー Uwah!?
(Oh no! I slipped! I’m gonna fall into the poolー!?)
Eichi: Chi-Chiaki! Wah!?
Chiaki: Cough cough… Fuah!
Eichi: Fuah…!
Chiaki: Haーー HAHAHAH! That shocked me! I accidentally slipped! HAHAHAH!
Eichi: Hah… Seriously. It was not funny, Chiaki. I got dragged into the pool too.
Chiaki: Haha, sorry. You suddenly held out your hand, so I pulled on it and accidentally took you down with me! … Hm?
Hey, Tenshouin. There’s a box that fell down. Was that always there?
Eichi: Eh? Whereーー Ah, you’re right.
When I was trying to help you earlier, I grabbed something like a string that was on the wall without thinking. Maybe it fell out when I pulled the string…?
Chiaki: Then, is that the pirate’s treasure!?
Eichi: Um… Umph, there. Since it’s called a pirate’s treasure, I was expecting something bigger. But it seems to be pretty small.
Tumblr media
Eichi: Yes. This does seem like it’s meant to be the pirate’s treasure.
Chiaki: ! You, you did it, Tenshouin! There wasn’t an announcement yet either, so we must be the first ones who found it!
Eichi: Fufu. You’re right. I can’t believe it’s really…
Tumblr media
Location: In front of the train station
Chiaki: Ah~. Today was super fun~ ♪
Eichi: It was. I truly never thought the day would come.
Tumblr media
Chiaki: ………
Chiaki: I knew it. You really do remember that promise, right? You’re not an honest guy, are you.
Chiaki: That promise we made on that summer, long ago… “I promise that when we get healthier, we can go to the pool together as friends! Because, that’s the kind of future we’ll have!” is what we said.
Tumblr media
Eichi: ………
Chiaki: Jeez. Why’d you have to go and say you didn’t remember it at all? It took a lot of courage to ask, you know! I felt so empty, thinking I was the only one who remembered something like that.
Eichi: Fufu, it was embarrassing to admit… That I kept such a small promise from the past so close to my heart. It felt childish.
Chiaki: I thought it was weird… I mean, you were the one who invited us. Plus, the pool looked pretty busy from what I was seeing.
At least, it felt like it was different than what you were telling us.
So, I thought about it and reached several different conclusions, but in the end, I think you just wanted to enjoy being able to go to the pool with your friends.
――Am I right?  
Eichi: …Chiaki. You really didn’t have to go on with some detailed explanation for my actions.
Especially when it was obvious that I wanted to hide those feelings.  That’s not being honest, it’s being insensitive.
Leo: HE~Y! You guys are too slow! What is taking you so long!?
Kaoru: I was just talking to Tsukinaga-kun, and we were wondering if you guys wanted to stop by a café on the way back home~?
Leo: Right! We’re going to leave you~! If you guys are too late, I’m gonna eat everything you order!
Eichi: Aah, sorry about that. We’re coming.
Chiaki: What were you saying, Tenshouin?
You’re not the only one who wanted to see this scene… this kind of future. I also wished for it.
That pinky promise we made in that hospital room belongs to both you and meーー the ones who shared it. Right?
Eichi: … I see. That’s right… That’s why I shouldn’t have to hide what’s hidden in my heart from you, correct? Ever since then, you’ve been my kindred soul.
Chiaki: Yeah, exactly!
Now, let’s go, Tenshouin! We shouldn’t make our friends wait on us any longer!

Chiaki: If you win, you’re in heaven! If you lose, you’ll go to hell! It’s time to raise our strength, intelligence, stamina, and luck!
Eichi: Shut up, both of you. You’re too loud. You don’t have to raise the tension every single time.
Kaoru: And, what’d you mean by New York……?
Chiaki: AHAHAH ☆ I was so excited, I ended up referencing The Trans America U*tra Quiz [1]!
Eichi: Anyways. Back to the subject at hand. Let’s review the rules again for the sake of clarity.
Teams are made up of pairs of two. That means that Chiaki will be with me, and Hakaze will be with Tsukinaga-kun.
The rules say that somewhere hidden in the pool area is the pirate’s treasure. Each team has been given a treasure map, correct?
Participants will have to solve riddles found around the map at random. There, they will end up at the hidden treasure.
The time limit is one hour. Once the hour is over, or if the treasure is found, the Adventurers Guild―― That is, the resort―― will call the teams together.
The rules state you have to take the treasure there and have the Guild assess whether or not it’s the actual treasure that the pirates left behind.
Well, setting aside, the game is basically focused on orienteering [2]. That’s all. So, is everyone prepared?
Chiaki: Yes! I’ve been ready to go at any time ☆
Kaoru: I’m also good. Then, Tsukinaga-kun, shall we go find the treasure?
Leo: Yup! Alright then, bye bye~♪
Tumblr media
Eichi: Alright then. I think it’s time for us to start treasure hunting as well, Chiaki.
Chiaki: Okay umm. Opening the map…
The first question says... “Three slender tall people, all with hands full of children. What is this?” Hm, why does it sound more like a riddle than a code?
Eichi: Well, it’s to be expected, isn’t it? This is a family friendly waterslide event.
The main goal was to create something that children can enjoy. If the children are happy, the parents are also happy. That’s what a family-oriented business is all about.
Chiaki: Ahh. That’s something I can understand. Tokusatsu is pretty much the same way. A lot of cast members are chosen with the mothers in mind, and a lot of the toys can even be enjoyed by adults too.
Hmm…… Now I’m wondering if it’s okay for us to do our best at this… Won’t we be pushing aside the children who want to find the treasure too?
We even said we were going to get first place when the event started…
Eichi: Ah, yes, you don’t have to worry about that. It’d be unfair if adults and children had the same riddles.
The difficulty changes during the middle of the game depending on if you’re an adult or a child. There is also a second treasure just for the kids too.
Chiaki: Really? That makes me feel better! Then, we can definitely give it our all!
Hmm… Tall people with hands full of children… I still don’t know what this means.
Tumblr media
Eichi: ………
I think it’s those 3 palm trees over there. Look, the way the coconuts are placed by the leaves. Doesn’t it look like the palm trees are holding children?
Chiaki: ! Ohh, I see! I can totally see what you mean! Then, let’s go to those palm trees!
Tumblr media
Location: Aquaria Park (Cove)
Chiaki: We came here pretty quickly, but from here I don’t see anything… What about you, Tenshouin?
Eichi: …… Hm? Hey, isn’t this it Chiaki?
Chiaki: Yeah? What is it?
Ah. This tree… Well, there’s definitely hiragana written at the base of it isn’t here…?
Um…… “Oatsua”? What is that? This list just looks like a bunch of scrambled up hiragana…
Tumblr media
Eichi: ………
Could I see the map please? … Hmm, the second question says “Atage” and there’s a picture of a strawberry next to it.
If we look at this like a cipher, we can solve it by shifting down a syllable. So, if we shift the letters we have on the palm tree, we’ll get……
Chiaki: ! ―― “Bottom of the ocean!” [3]
That’s definitely that area at the bottom of the waterslide we were at earlier! It was made to look like the bottom of the ocean! Let’s go!
Tumblr media
Eichi: Ah, Chiaki!
…Sigh, seriously. He ran way too fast.
Well, I do know that quick to move aspect of Chiaki is one of his virtues.
He’s always made it hard for people to follow his lead ーー Whether it be now or in the past.

Chiaki is referencing this gameshow called The Trans America Ultra Quiz. Got no idea what it's about but thanks
If you're like me (has no clue what orienteering is and definitely had to look it up) this is a copy paste definition ! "a competitive sport in which participants find their way to various checkpoints across rough country with the aid of a map and compass, the winner being the one with the lowest elapsed time."
Omg okay this one was really fun to do I hope you guys can follow along. Okay so look at this chart. So basically, Eichi and Chiaki got the hint that strawberry was equal to "Atage." Strawberry in Japanese is "ichigo." So it's telling you that it's a word scramble and you have to move every letter down by one. A becomes I, TA becomes CHI, and GE becomes GO. This means that the cypher they got, Oatsua, has to be solved the same way. O becomes KA, A comes I, TSU becomes TE, and A becomes I. This turns Oatsua into Kaitei, meaning bottom of the ocean !!!

Red Hot Island - Chapter 6
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Aquaria Park (Slides)
Tumblr media
Chiaki: Swim, swim ♪ Just as I thought, swimming around in a big place like this feels really good huh. I’m starting to understand why Kanata likes to “puka puka” so much. Well, I can’t understand wanting to drag people into fountains or ponds, though…
Kaoru: Moricchi~. It’s about time for lunch, so we were thinking about getting something to eat.
Chiaki: Oh! Sounds good~ I was just starting to feel hungry.
Hm? I don’t see Tsukinaga around anywhereーー
Tumblr media
Chiaki: GABOGOBABO??
Kaoru: Uwah!? Moricchi suddenly sank!? Wait, what’s happening!?
Chiaki: Cough! GAH…!? S-Something’s pulling my leg!?
Leo: I’m a kappa [1] ~ Bow down to your knees and worship me~ Kappappappa☆
Kaoru: Oh. Tsukinaga-kun is the one pulling at Moricchi’s leg, right? You shouldn’t do that, y’know. That kind of prank is dangerous~.
Leo: Wahaha ☆ Sorry sorry!
―― Hm? Ah, Tenshi’s not paying attention right now.
Perfect… This Lord Kappa just found his next prey. Diving in… Getting close…
Kaoru: Sigh… He didn’t listen to a thing I said…
Chiaki: What’s up with his image of a kappa? Kappas don’t give off the air of demon king, right?
Tumblr media
Eichi: ……
Leo: (And now, to pull on his leg, and scare him~…)
(GAAH!?)
Tumblr media
Eichi: ……♪
Leo: Cough, Gah…! W-Water got into my nose! Owww that hurts! Uuu, it burns!
Can you see behind you or something!? Stupid! Idiot! You’re a dummy~!
Eichi: Ah. Tsukinaga-kun, were you always there? My, since you were underwater, I didn’t see you there. Sorry for not noticing you ♪
Leo: You definitely knew I was there! You have the face of an angel, but the personality of a devil!
Chiaki: Ahaha…… It seems like Tenshouin was two steps ahead of him…
Kaoru: Come on guys. Let’s go get food already. It’s lunchtime, so it’s gonna be harder to find seats right now. We also have to attend the event in the afternoon, right?
Chiaki: Oh, that’s right! Let’s go, let’s go!
Tumblr media
Chiaki: Thanks for waiting! I bought four Yakisoba [2], two big sausages [2], and two shaved ice [2].
Eichi: I was wondering how we were going to have lunch if we were at the pool... So this is how you get food and drinks here.
Leo: Finally~! Thanks, I was starving!
Kaoru: Thanks for getting it for us, both of you. Thankfully, Tsukinaga-kun and I were able to grab a seat for us.
Leo: Thank you for the food~ ☆
Eichi: Thank you for the food. Munch munch… gulp ♪
Wow~. I was surprised because the color of the yakisoba was so dark. It tastes better than I expected…
Chiaki: Hm? But it’s always that dark, isn’t it? Cuz the sauce is so seasoned.
Eichi: Eh…?
Chiaki: Ehhh?
Kaoru: Ah… Tenshouin-kun might be more used to the Chinese version of Yakisoba, I think? The sauce is more lightly seasoned over there, so the color is a bit different. The one we know is more of a B-class gourmet type [3].
Chiaki: I see… I didn’t even know yakisoba was called B-class gourmet in the first place!
Eichi: B-class gourmet huh… It’s true that I’ve heard of it, but I never had it before.
Leo: Seriously!? That’s such a waste! That’s where all the really good food is! You’re basically missing out on a third of your life!
Chiaki: Ahaha. You could say. It’s true that the food is really good though!
Maybe it’s because I’m just hungry after swimming, but why does food taste so much better when you eat it from outside?
Kaoru: It does it does! Like, when I get food from trucks around parking lots or on the beach, it always tastes so delicious!
Chiaki: And I always end up wanting to buy everything I see! There was a long line at the concession stand earlier, and all the different foods everyone in line got looked super good!
Leo: Ughh! Can you guys stop talking about food!? I just ate, and you’re making me super hungry again! I wanna get more!
Kaoru: Ehh?? Already? You want to wait in that long line again―― Aaand, he’s gone.
Chiaki: Well, speaking of long lines… I wanted to ask you something, Tenshouin.
Eichi: Mm? What is it?
Chiaki: Earlier, you told us that Aquaria Park wasn’t performing well. That’s why you wanted us to monitor it and offer our honest opinions, right?
Eichi: …… Ah, yes. What about it?
Chiaki: Well, looking around right now, Aquaria Park seems to have a lot of visitors though? Is it really not doing well?
Tumblr media
Eichi: ……
It’s not. It costs a lot more to maintain a facility like this than you think, Chiaki.
Chiaki: Ah, really? Well, I guess you would know. I don’t know about management or business performance or anything.
Eichi: Yes. It’s not something you need to worry about.
Well, the event is about to start soon.
We were split into teams. It seems you and I are on the same team, Chiaki, so you should keep that in mind.
Chiaki: Ah! That’s true! Alright, we both definitely have to be the first to get the treasure!

Kappa meaning that I'm just gonna copy and paste. It's basically a myth. Kappa (Japanese: 河童 or かっぱ, meaning "River child") are aquatic reptilian humanoids who inhabit the rivers and streams found all over Japan. Clumsy on land, they are at home in the water, where they thrive during the warm months. They are excellent swimmers, and despite their small size they are physically stronger than a grown man.
Links to the food in case you don't know what they are yaaay !! The sausages, shaved ice, and here's the yakisoba. I think the food that Eichi is used to miiight be chow mein ? I'm def not 100% sure on this so let me know if I'm wrong cuz I'll update it !!!
B-class gourmet is another name for street food ! Usually found in like street vendors or casual restraunts. A-class gourmet is like fine dining !!

Red Hot Island - Chapter 5
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Starmony Dorms Exterior
Tumblr media
Kaoru: Ah. Moricchi, good morning~
Chiaki: Good morning ☆ Sorry, I’m a bit late…! I was still looking for my swimsuitーー
Leo: Uchuu~☆ I also couldn’t find my swimsuit. It’s been a while since I pulled it out huh! I’m glad there isn’t mold!
Eichi: Hello, Chiaki. Good morning. It’s good weather for the pool today. Well, it’s not like it matters since it’s an indoor pool.
Tumblr media
Chiaki: ……
Eichi: ? What’s wrong, Chiaki? You have a really lost expression.
Chiaki: Hey, Tenshouin…
Eichi: Mm? What’s the matter?
Chiaki: ……No, it’s nothing.
Eichi: ? Are you sure you’re okay? I mean, it’s a bit too early to be worn down by the summer heat, but…
Chiaki: Sorry! I’m fine. Then, let’s get going! I’m super excited ☆
Tumblr media
Location: Aquaria Park (Slides)
Chiaki: Woaaaah~! The glistening surface of the water! The shining sun! The straight palm trees!
As I thought, I just get so much more excited when I’m actually here! It’s been years since I’ve been able to play in a pool area like this! I’m getting fired up~!
Kaoru: Literally~. It’s been so long since I’ve been to a pool outside of the school ♪ I know I like the ocean a lot more, but the pool is nice from time to time~
Leo: Fuu, haaah… this smell is stimulating all 5 of my senses~ Inspiration has come! Now then, please listen to “The Chlorine Song”!
Eichi: Hey now, can you stop singing weird songs? You’re going to get unwanted attention like that.
Leo: Hey, just which songs are you calling weird!? Any songs I create are always on the level of a global masterpiece!
Chiaki: Now, now… Oh yeah, Tenshouin. The test play event… Umm, was it the treasure hunt? When does that start?
Eichi: Ah yeah. The event starts in the afternoon, don’t worry about it right now. You can play however you like.
Chiaki: Hmm really? Then, where should we start…
Kaoru: Umm… Right now, there are 4 areas I can see in Aquaria Park.
First, over there is the sailboat area. Ah, it looks like the treasure hunt event will be held at that area.
Then, the wave pool area is next to the resort. And that leaves, over there, which is the waterslide area.
Tenshouin-kun, you’re the manager of this place yeah? Which area would you recommend?
Eichi: Hmm… It’s true that I’m the manager, but… I haven’t really been here myself. I don’t know anything about the areas; it’s all new to me.
Chiaki: Then, I have a request! How about that eye-catching waterslide!? I want to experience something thrilling that represents summer ☆
Leo: Oh! Nice! I agree!
Kaoru: Well yeah, that’s like the king in the overview of this place. Then, let’s go to the waterslide area first.
Chiaki: Alright, let’s have as much fun as we can!
Tumblr media
Leo: Wahaha. We’re pretty high up huh~? It didn’t seem this high when looked at it from the bottom.
Ah. The people below are waving! HEELLOOOOO! ☆
Kaoru: Moricchi, Tenshouin. Here, an inner tube.
Eichi: An inner tube…
Chiaki: Ah. You’re wondering why you got handed an inner tube right? I get it! I to~tally get you! I didn’t know why I got handed one for the first time too!
Alright! I’ll show you how to use it ☆ First, you get on top of the inner tube like thisーー
Eichi: Hey, how do I use this, Hakaze?
Kaoru: Oh uh, just get on top of it I guess? I think I heard that the buoyancy of the inner tube makes it go faster or something? I don’t know much about it though…
Chiaki: Tenshouin, that was cruel!? It feels awful to demonstrate to no one!
Eichi: Well, I was bothered by how you were acting like you were better than me since you knew everything. It was annoying.
Chiaki: Uuu… Isn’t that fine? I really did know how to use one…
Kaoru: Right right, that’s enough chit chat. You’re holding up the line, so let’s keep it moving guys~
Chiaki: Ah, that’s right. Sorry, sorry.
Tumblr media
Chiaki: ………
Kaoru: Mm? Moricchi, what’s wrong? You’re just staring at the inner tube y’know~?
Chiaki: Hakaze. When I was a kid, there was this anime I really loved to watch.
In the anime, the main character was in an aircraft, and he got launched out from the control center like he was Superman… That scene was so cool~♪
Kaoru: Huh~. Then?
Chiaki: I’m wondering if I could recreate that anime scene on the waterslide? Am I allowed to lay down on my stomach when I’m going down the slide?
Kaoru: Ehh? Stop it, Moricchi. I don’t want people looking at us like we’re elementary schoolers.
Chiaki: Yeah, I knew it. It looks like a no go~ But it’s such a good opportunity though…
…Huh? But Tsukinaga is on his stomach and he’s about to go down… Is that fine?
Tumblr media
Leo: ♪~
Kaoru: Eh!? W-Wait Tsukinaga-kun!? Stop! Don’t do it~!
Chiaki: Ahaha. Poor Hakaze has it rough huh!
Eichi: Chiaki, the staff is calling you. I think it’s your turn, isn’t it?
Chiaki: Ah! Yes yes, I’m coming!
Oh!? If I’m not careful, the inner tube will float away with the water… Umm, I have to be extra careful to keep it still and just get on, and…
There! All ready now!
Haha ♪ It feels just like sitting in the cockpit in a robot anime~ I can feel my heart racing!
Tumblr media
Chiaki: Ryusei Red, Morisawa Chiaki! Here I go~!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO ☆

Red Hot Island - Chapter 4
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Starmony Dorms Kitchen
Tumblr media
Eichi: Actually… I have a request I would like to make. I wanted to ask if you would like to monitor the events at Aquaria Park.
Chiaki: ――Monitor the events at Aquaria Park?
Eichi: Yes, that’s right.
Kaoru: Aquaria Park is that large leisure pool that got built last year, right? Wow~. I didn’t know the Tenshouin conglomerate ran it.
Leo: You have pretty much everything~! What’s next? Outer space? Are you gonna land on the moon?
Eichi: A moon landing huh. It’s a not as much of a problem for me financially as it is for me physically…
Tumblr media
Eichi: And about Aquaria Park, it originally belonged to another company. The Tenshouin conglomerate just happened to merge with it this year.
So, I didn’t get management of it until this year.
Anyways, let’s get back to the story at hand. I’m actually planning a fan event for ES.
But it’s a large-scale event. That’s why I’m thinking about doing a play test of the park as a one-day event first.
That’s why I’m asking you all to help monitor it for me.
It’s nothing too difficult. You would just enter and spend time in the park, the same as regular customers.
There’s no reward to be given, but we’ll cover all costs associated with admission.
Instead, I want your honest opinion on how you felt in the moment.
The most important part is honesty, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t hold back. How about it?
Chiaki: That’s… So you want all the members here to play in the pool?
Eichi: Well… Yes, that sums it up.
Chiaki: Ah, then that’s fine! If you like that kind of thing, then it’s cheap for what it’s worth ☆ Right, guys?
Kaoru: Hmm… Well yeah. It’s a bit disappointing that it’s not the ocean, but I don’t mind being at a pool, so that’s fine…
Leo: Hmm? With these members?
Chiaki: Huh? What’s wrong, what’s wrong? The both of you look like you have something bothering you?
Kaoru: Well, I wouldn’t say it’s bothering me but…… There doesn’t seem to be a good reason for it to be us who goes, right?
I mean look, wouldn’t the members of Tenshouin-kun’s unit be fine too?
I dunno. I think the kids in “fine” would have said “OK” with no issue, so why does it have to be us?
Leo: Exactly! You came in here making a scene and everything. It makes us wonder if you have an ulterior motive or something? Suspicious…
Tumblr media
Eichi: ……
Well, there’s nothing wrong with being suspicious. I’m not saying the play testing is the only goal I have.
Chiaki: What else is there besides the play test?
Eichi: That being said, it’s a pretty easy request. I just want you to spend some time at Aquaria Park and give me your honest opinions.
Kaoru: You want to hear our impressions of the park?
Eichi: Yes. Earlier, I told you how the company that originally ran Aquaria Park ended up merging with the Tenshouin conglomerate, right?
The reason for that merger was due to poor business performance. In fact, Aquaria Park was piled with debts from that time.
No matter how hard I try to improve it, the results never seem to show.
Chiaki: Hm… Well, if Aquaria Park is struggling financially, then it’d be hard to get results immediately.
Eichi: I guess. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to be patient. I have to improve it as soon as possible.
The way I see it, it’s a test of sorts. Designed to test my management abilities.
Kaoru: Bleh~ I can’t say I don’t understand this. Who knows, tomorrow this could be my reality, so it’s not a great thing to hear about~
Well, it’s not as bad as your case. My brother is the one who’s actually in charge of the live house, so.
Leo: Hmm. It seems like a pain to be in charge of something like that. I’m glad I only have to worry about Ruka-tan! [1]
Chiaki: Umm. This kind of problem isn’t really relevant to someone like me who grew up in an ordinary household, but… I can understand how difficult it must be.
Eichi: Fufu. That level of empathy is good enough for me. Well, that’s why this is important to me. That’s why I wanted to request if someone could monitor the area and search for improvements.
On top of that, I also need to play test the new event. So, it’d be more convenient for me if the same people worked on both of these things.
Earlier, Hakaze-kun asked why I didn’t ask this of the members in “fine".  It’s true that it would be easier if I asked everyone in my own unit.
But I’m not too keen on that idea.
What I need is to hear your honest opinion. It pains me to say, but Wataru is the type who enjoys living in the moment. He might not be too focused on critique.
Putting Yuzuru aside, I think it would be rather difficult for Tori to express something negative like that to me. In that sense, you guys are different.
Since you guys can call me something like a panda or a ferocious bear with no qualms ♪
Tumblr media
Leo: Gyah! You heard that?! Damn hell ears!
Chiaki: Hahaha! I get it. In that case, I won’t hesitate to tell you if something is good or bad, so don’t worry!
Isn’t that great, Tsukinaga, Hakaze? If having fun is helping someone, isn’t that a great thing?
Kaoru: Right right, I understand. Fine~ If Moricchi and Tenshouin-kun are that keen on going, then I’ll follow your lead. [2]
Leo: Yeah! It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a pool~! Maybe it’s okay to go every once in a while!

Ruka is Leo's little sister!
Here, Kaoru says 付き合って which I was way more familiar with being like. To go out with someone. And I sat here confused for like 5 minutes. Looking it up, you can also use it for like going along with someone's idea or to compromise. Glad I didn't make that mistake. I was going to keep "I'll go out with you" since that can also be just going on an outing, but I kept it like this for simplicity
