BlackStar ~Theater Starless translation

Season 1 – Episode 8:

Chapter 4– I will never lose

(Hari, Kei, Mokuren, Kasumi, Qu, MC)

Kei: Saki, which do you prefer, citrus or mint?

MC: Eh? What are you talking about?

Kei: I'm talking about the scent of the shampoo. If the staff were to use one of those scents, which would you prefer?

Kei: I decided to arrange it as part of the store's customs. The people here lack the self-awareness to properly appear in front of customers.

Mokuren: Soap is enough.

Kasumi: Kei~ do you have some time? There is someone I want you to meet.

Mokuren: It's you again.....

Hari: Please give me your time.

Kei: I'm listening, I have heard you are calling yourself Hari. So then, what do you want from me?

Hari: Please let me join Starless! You have the power to decide, right?

Kei: Hmm, I guess you heard it from Ran, but I have no intention of increasing my crew right now.

Kei: Mokuren, what do you think? Is he necessary?

Mokuren: I don't need him. He will get in the way.

Hari: Guh... [sorry I don't know how to communicate this word lol].

MC: That's a little much to say Mokuren. Please think a little more.....

Mokuren: ......If you want me to think about it. Princess, I do owe you something.

Mokuren: Minimum facilities in the shower room and backyard. It's guranteed because you are here.

Mokuren: That being said.......you [Hari] can't dance, can you? I really don't need that kind of person.

Hari: I haven't even tried yet so you cannot be convinced!

Kasumi: That's right, if that is the case, there is no choice but to give him a chance~.

Hari: That's it! Mokuren, I challenge you to a 'game'.

Mokuren: Are you an idiot? There is no way you can beat me.

Kasumi: You won't know unless you try, right?

Hari: That's correct! If you don't compete, I win by default.

Mokuren: .......Okay then, I'll make you regret it. Kei, please judge us.

Hari: I won't back down. I have a secret strategy to not lose.

Kei: ......Can't be helped. Kasumi, I'll take advantage of your scheme.

Kasumi: Please don't say bad things about others. I'm not planning anything.

Kasumi: Ah, I'm still on a shift! I'll leave the rest to the two of you~.

Kei: Hmm, he ran away.......Okay I'll just ignore him for now.

Kei: MC, should we go? Qu should be at the lesson venue.

MC: Ah, yes.

Mokuren: ........How stubborn.

Kei: ......Do you still want to continue?

Hari: .....No......Not.... yet......I can still do it.

MC: Isn't it better to stop now? Hari, you seem light-headed.

Qu: Can you stop it, Kei? As expected, I will have trouble waking him up.

Mokuren: No, you don't have to stop. He himself says, 'I can still do it'.

Qu: Are you a demon?

Mokuren: It's his wish. I'll dance until he admits to losing.

Kei: Hm, I'm glad you're motivated. There is no need for judging anymore. Let's go, MC.

MC: Eh, but!

Kei: Him doing this means that there is no way to judge. He will never admit defeat.

Hari: I'm enjoying this so much, that I'm not losing......I won't stop such a fun lesson......!

Qu: By calling this a lesson you have the guts to back it up. You are much more stubborn than I thought.

Mokuren: .......It's really annoying. Tell me when you can dance better.

Qu: Even you are having fun. Mokuren, you don't know many words.

Mokuren: Dance is the only word I need. It is enough.

Kei: That's right, your performance is so eloquent. Including the fact that the dancing up until now was different from W's.

Kei: Hari, I allow you access to the backyard. You can use the lesson area as you like.

Hari: I did it.....!

Qu: Ehh. Forgive me Kei, but is it okay? I think Mokuren will do whatever they want [to Hari].

Kei: I don't care, I'll leave him in your care for a while. Feel free to use him as you like.

Mokuren: Hey, wake up, you keep rolling around forever. If you want to die that much, I'll kill you.

Hari: If you can do it.....try to..... Because I won't die easily.

MC: Ahh....Um, Kei, is it okay to leave the two of them like that?

Kei: Qu, the rest is up to you.

Qu: Throwing it all at me? Oh well, good for you that it's Mokuren.....

To be continued.....

Sorry for the late upload, it's my exam period at the minute, so updates will be slow.

[BSTS] Main Story S4Ch1 ‘Setting Sun’ - Part 1

reliving the heath angst era 😔✊

Chapter 1

-starless office-

narration: The second anniversary performance ended, and Starless returned to normal business hours. The next show was planned to be Team B, but—

mizuki: What!? No one told me this. Who the fuck decided that?

unei: Yikes, it was the Boss of course...

mizuki: Who gives a fuck about that shitty owner. The next show is ours!

saki: (Apparently the next show which was planned to be Team B was suddenly changed to Team K... I wonder what's going on.)

-kei and haseyama walk in-

kei: Be quiet. Your voice could be heard all throughout the hallway.

mizuki: Oi, the hell are you planning, stealing B's show like that?

haseyama: What's this, Kei. Did you not get his approval beforehand?

kei: Do not jump to conclusions. I'm not stealing anything, Team B's show has simply been postponed to a later date.

mizuki: Post what now?

kei: It's been pushed back. You will eventually get to debut your show.

mizuki: So it hasn't been cancelled or anything then... Well, I guess that's fine.

saki: (That's good, it looks like things will be settled peacefully.)

-heath appears-

heath: We won't be postponed. Why should our show be pushed back for Team K's sake?

saki: (Heath-san...?)

heath: Don't insert yourselves into our show.

haseyama: My you look quite displeased there huh, Heath? In that case there's an easy solution. Just take over Team K's show by force, you lot are good at that aren't you?

kei: ........ (not happy)

heath: Why did you change the schedule on your own accord?

kei: I got approval from your team's leader.

heath: That's not an answer. B will perform, don't make any changes to the schedule.

haseyama: Oi, the announcement for K's show has already gone out. If you're performing too then it needs to be made a versus.

mizuki: A versus... Heath, are you all good with that?

heath: Yes.

mizuki: Then, it's a versus between K and B. Better prepare yourselves, Team K.

-heath and mizuki leave-

saki: (A versus... Somehow this situation seems different from usual though.)

kei: ........ (frustrated sigh)

—end

Chapter 1 extra

-starless lobby-

sinju: I know it's a bit late to be realising this, but there sure are a lot of last minute changes made at this store huh. Stuff that's decided in advance rarely gets carried through.

ginsei: B were told that their show was postponed though, why make it a versus? If it were me I'd choose postponement over a versus. Ah, take that poster down.

sinju: This B one? Ok. But I mean, that's just cause it's B right? They have an image that makes it seem like they enjoy doing versus’.

ginsei: Just how much do they like them then... Here put this K poster in place of the one you took down.

sinju: Oh? Woah, K's posters are always so cool.

-he puts the poster up-

sinju: ........

sinju: Say, Yakou's in Team K right now isn't he? I was happy when he came back for the second anniversary performance, but honestly... I'm a bit conflicted. Like, why did he join K?

ginsei: ...Kei must've had a reason for it.

-mokuren walks in-

mokuren: You're still putting the posters up? Get on with it already, don't leave the trolley behind.

ginsei: Sorry, we're just about done.

mokuren: Sinju, extra flowers were delivered out back. We need to go get them.

sinju: Ok.

-mokuren and sinju leave-

ginsei: (looks contemplative)

—end

Chapter 1 SideA

-voice training room-

rindou: Kei? Good day. ...The way you changed the show schedule like that was quite forceful of you. That's why I don't understand the reasoning behind making it a versus? Why did things end up like that?

kei: It was better for K to take this performance rather than B. That was simply the conclusion I had come to. The ones that made it a versus was the other party.

rindou: Is it because they didn't know why you came to that conclusion either, so B opposed you?

kei: Rindou, if you want to make idle chatter then move to the break room. I need to train here.

rindou: ...I may not know what it is that you're burdened with. But if there's any way I can be of help, then as work colleagues please don't hesitate to tell me.

kei: ..........

Chapter 1 SideA extra

-city, day time-

taiga: Hey what the hell? What are you doing out here!?

???: Chill chill, don't use such a loud voice, you'll startle the people around us. What's the matter?

taiga: As if I can chill, I went to the hospital to see you only to be told you'd already left. Quit messing around, making a shut in like me run around this much... Why'd you get discharged without saying a word to me? Are you planning to up and disappear all over again? The entire reason I joined Starless was to find clues about your whereabouts. And yet you still haven't explained a thing to me!

???: Sorry, I've caused you a lot of grief huh.

taiga: ........

taiga: Anyways, what are you even planning to do now?

???: First off all I'm going for a job interview. I'm bringing my resume to Starless, I'll be returning to working there.

taiga: You're what...?

???: What about you? If you don't like the place then you can quit now right? Your goal has been achieved after all.

taiga: Huh? Ah, that's...

???: Well, it's your life at the end of the day, think it over yourself. I'll be going now, see ya.

-nekome leaves-

taiga: Wha... Wait... Huh? HUUH!? What the hell is he on about? I don't get a single thing he's saying!

—end

Chapter 1 SideB

-rehearsal room-

lico: What...? A versus? Over what?

mizuki: Huh? It's already been decided so don't go complaining.

lico: (big sigh) ...I told you already, did I not? No more versus'.

mizuki: Oh shut up, our show was going to be pushed back for no reason. Do you think I'd let them look down on the strongest team this store has like that?

lico: Could you not use your dumb ass logic here? For starters, quit deciding things without getting any consent from your number 2. When did I ever say you could just decide whatever you want cause you're the leader?

mizuki: Huh? Become the leader yourself then, quit whining.

lico: Are you giving me permission to take over? Wow I'm honoured.

mizuki: Fuck off, I'm the leader. B is my team!

lico: I'm not your freaking property.

-heath cuts in to stop them from fighting-

heath: Wait, stop it. I'm sorry for doing something selfish and not discussing it with our number 2 first. I was the one who rejected it. I didn't want to back down and let Kei have his way in postponing us. ...That's why I'd like for you to cooperate with us in this versus.

lico: (big sigh) ....This is the worst. I'll forgive it just this once.

heath: Ok.

mizuki: Who needs your forgiveness?

lico: By the way, are you even feeling up for it? You look pale as hell.

heath: I'm fine, the same as always.

lico: Whatever you say. Don't go collapsing on us again, it'll be pretty annoying.

-ran runs in-

ran: Woohoo, here I am~! Hey hey ain't this crazy, we get to do another versus? Let's beat the hell outta K!

mizuki: Hell yeah, I'm glad you get it, Ran.

lico: Tch, none of them are taking this seriously.

—end

Chapter 1 SideB extra

-break room-

kongou: (drinking) ....Phew. Sigh...

saki: Good work, Kongou-san. Was rehearsal difficult?

kongou: Ah, no, it's not like that.

saki: Um... Is everything alright with Team B? The show suddenly turned into a versus... Even though Kei had said your show was just postponed at first...

kongou: I would've just accepted the schedule change, it's something that used to happen all the time when I was still a pro wrestler. That's why the fact they turned it into a versus because of the postponement is a mystery to me. I don't really get why there was a reason for it.

saki: Yeah...

kongou: Sigh... Why do things always end up like this?

saki: (Heath-san was acting strangely too... I wonder how this performance will go.)

—end

Chapter 2

-starless office-

kei: This is Team K's performance schedule.

-kei hands it to haseyama-

saki: I see Yakou's a standard member.

kei: He will be put in the fifth position this time, that's all. Whether he properly becomes a standard member or not shall depend on his efforts from here on out. Yakou himself has already been informed of this.

haseyama: Harsh as always ain't you, Kei-sama. Don't you agree, little lady?

saki: Uh...

unei: Ah, stop! You can't just walk in unannounced, the boss is in the middle of a meeting!

-nekome appears-

???: If he's here already then that's perfect. Excuse me~

-he steps into the room-

???: Um, so you're the owner right? Hey there, I've brought my resume with me.

haseyama: Who the hell are you?

???: Oh, it's written right there on my resume. Hm? There's a young lady here too, could you be—

-nekome introduction cg-

nekome: My name's Nekome, nice to meet you. Hey, could you back me up here? I want to work here y'see.

saki: (So this person is Nekome-san... Wait, he just gave me his resume as well...!?)

-kei pushes nekome aside-

kei: Don't get so close to her.

nekome: Ah, did I frighten her? My bad.

haseyama: I've heard that name before. Taiga's older brother was it? Thanks to you dealing with the aftermath of the store was a massive pain in the ass, you know that don't you? Trespassing, arson, property damage. Just how many digits do you think I should charge you, huh!?

nekome: Ah, you've got it all wrong. The only thing I committed was trespassing, so just charge me with that thanks. Well, nevermind the circumstances, I understand that I've caused the store trouble. I want to make up for it. It'll be just fine, I can handle whatever. I'll wait for your call once you decide whether or not to employ me~

-nekome leaves-

unei: W-wait just a moment!

-unei chases after him-

saki: (Taiga-san's previously missing brother has returned and wants to work here?)

—end

Chapter 2 extra

-break room-

kokuyou: .......

nekome: Hey there, Kokuyou.

kokuyou: You... Why are you just roaming around the store like it's normal?

nekome: Ah, before we get into that, could you lend me a light?

-lights cigarette-

nekome: Thanks. ...Say, this store's pretty big isn't it? I was surprised, you could go adventuring in here. Though it's pretty funny not a single cent was spent on the back end, I don't hate it.

kokuyou: Oi, answer my question already.

nekome: Well that's cause it seems like I've caused everyone a lot of trouble? So I want to make up for it by working here. —That's all.

kokuyou: Does Taiga know?

nekome: Mm, it's not like I need to explain every little thing to him, right?

kokuyou: ...So you didn't even tell him the bare minimum then.

nekome: So strict~ You haven't changed at all, Kokuyou.

kokuyou: ...Neither have you. So, then where have you— No nevermind, what are you planning to do by returning here?

nekome: So you're not asking about the past but rather the future, that's just like you. I plan to do exactly what I just told you, work here and pay back the trouble I've caused.

kokuyou: .......

kokuyou: You really...

-takami walks up-

takami: Kokuyou, breaks ending soon, we need to get back to the floor.

kokuyou: ...Got it, coming.

-kokuyou leaves, takami looks at nekome before he leaves-

nekome: ........

Chapter 2 SideA

-starless kitchen dining area-

ginsei: Hey Gui... Hm? My staff meal is different today, is this fried rice?

gui: I made it myself.

ginsei: Huh? You made this?

gui: Kongou taught me how to.

ginsei: Is that so... Is that why it's got these conspicuous burnt bits in it then... But still, I never imagined you'd get into cooking.

gui: Ginsei, try it.

ginsei: You want me to eat it? Ah well... I don't have very good memories when it comes to fried rice so...

gui: .........

ginsei: ...Ok fine, I just have to eat it right? I'll try a bite then.

ginsei: ........ (eating)

ginsei: Hm, it's good. I’d say it’s passable.

gui: Passable... Next time I'll make sure to char it more.

ginsei: Um no, this is burnt enough as is. I think it's more how everything is mixed together? That you need to work on. What did you think? Do you think the food you made tastes good?

gui: ...I don't know. That's why I got you to try it for me. I'll be careful not to burn it next time, thank you.

ginsei: Cooking's all well and good, but how are you going with our show? Are there any parts you're unsure about? Like about the original text...

gui: Yakou was very thorough in his explanation, he's told me a lot.

ginsei: ...I see. I guess he is also someone that's into books.

gui: Also, you've taught me about 'Carmen' before Ginsei. Carmen was a shameless and devilish woman, so Jose stabs her to death.

ginsei: Wait, no, that's not how it is. Well nevermind, thanks for remembering what I'd said. If there's anything you don't understand just ask me, I'll teach you.

gui: Ok. I'll be going then.

-gui leaves-

ginsei: ...I need to do my best too.

—end

Chapter 2 SideA extra

-starless restaurant area-

kasumi: I heard Nekome showed up at the store recently.

sotetsu: That's quite the sudden topic to bring up.

kasumi: Seeing the restaurant reminded me of him. This is where he was found injured right?

sotetsu: He was found covered in blood by Kokuyou wasn't he? It may be repaired now but this place is totally the scene of the crime.

kasumi: I wonder why Nekome was here.

sotetsu: If you mean about earlier, I heard he was here hoping to get hired. Or I guess in his case it would be returning to work here. I saw Unei holding a resume and making a fuss, so I'd say this is accurate information.

kasumi: Huuh, is that so... At this store then.

-maica walks up-

maica: There's going to be a new menu added today, so please update each of your tablets.

kasumi: Roger~

sotetsu: I'm interested to see whether or not Nekome will be aiming to be a cast member now that he's returned.

kasumi: Guess we'll find out~ He has no reason not to after all.

maica: This Nekome you're talking about, he used to be a cast member at the old store didn't he?

kasumi: Yep~ He's one of the oldest members along with Kokuyou.

sotetsu: I actually heard that it was Nekome that dragged Kokuyou into helping him out with the store.

kasumi: Oh~ If that's true then that would make Nekome the original member then.

maica: Hmm, so how come this guy who no ones been in contact with for two years has returned now? Not to mention he appeared whilst there was a fire burning this place down. It doesn't make any sense.

sotetsu: Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we're all wondering the same thing.

maica: ...I wonder where the owner who disappeared at the same time as him is.

kasumi: I know right~ I'm intrigued by that too.

sotetsu: For now I'll stay in the observation party. There's bound to be drama if Nekoke ends up joining us again.

maica: Looks like you're enjoying yourself already.

kasumi: You've got bad taste as always~

sotetsu: What are you talking about, I'm enjoying myself plenty right now. Yakou got added as our number 5 for this show. Kei said whether he becomes a standard member or not will depend on his performance.

maica: ........

kasumi: Do you have mixed feelings about it, Maica?

maica: Hm? Oh, no... nothing like that. Everyone at this store has their own desires. In that case Yakou would be the same. Something must've happened for him to return to the store. I just need to keep singing, and if he decides to get in the way then I'll knock him down. That's all.

kasumi: Hahah, looks like you've been corrupted by this store too.

Chapter 2 SideB

-starless balcony-

akira: (smoking) Haa~ A smoke when you're skipping out tastes great. I can leave those heavy beer kegs to that muscle gorilla, ok ok~ (yawns) Ah... I'm so sleepy... Hm?

-screen pans down to behind starless, akira is watching from the balcony-

heath: ...Get out of my way.

kei: Did you look at the contents of that envelope?

heath: And what if I did?

kei: Is it still too difficult for you to make a decision?

heath: This may just be something insignificant to you, but to me it's my life.

kei: The faster you come to your decision the better. The risk of side effects will be lessened.

heath: Only 'lessened' huh.

kei: It's not something that you can fight against without there being any risks. You yourself must already understand that too. What I'm trying to say is that you should make up your mind as soon as—

heath: Are you trying to make amends? I don't give a shit about your regrets, don't try reaching out to me now. Just keep feeling bad about it for your whole damn life!

heath: (coughing fit)

kei: Heath.

heath: Don't touch me! (coughs, heavy breathing)

kei: ...The burden of that sin from back then will never be lifted. I will carry it with me for my entire life. However Heath, you are still able to fight it...

-balcony-

akira: I can't really hear what they're saying but man... that's one intense convo they're having. I can't go intruding.

-behind starless-

heath: If you care so much then win the versus and order me to do it.

kei: .....Fine. It's the same as always then. We'll come at you with full intentions to win.

-kei leaves-

heath: ...Godammit! (hits something) The one who's gonna win isn't you. As if I'd let you do whatever you want...!

-heath leaves, akira appears-

akira: They finally left huh. That sure was freaky. What the hell were they talking about anyways. This envelope... He threw it away but I wonder if that's ok... It sure didn’t seem like it.

Chapter 2 SideB extra

-cafe-

takami: I was surprised to be invited out by you.

taiga: You're the only one who can help me out here.

takami: Well, what did you want to talk about? Though I can pretty much already guess.

taiga: My brother decided to discharge himself from the hospital, and now he's apparently returned to Starless already. I still don't know why he disappeared, and he keeps dodging the question of why he came back. I keep getting a really bad feeling about it, it's unsettling if I just leave things be.

takami: You want to know every little thing about your brother do you?

taiga: Could you not make it sound gross? All I want to know is stuff in relation to his disappearance. It's the reason I joined the store after all. I have a right to know.

takami: Nekome didn't get you involved. You're the one that chose to get yourself involved. So I wouldn't say you have a right to know anything.

taiga: We're siblings.

takami: Ahaha that's a fitting response. It's definitely something someone looking for their brother would say. However, being 'siblings' with someone is where the depth of the relationship starts and ends. You can still have different values and outlooks on life, you could be completely different people. You have a right to ask for an explanation, and Nekome also has a right to refuse you one.

taiga: You're really just gonna keep taking his side aren't you?

takami: That's not my intention, I'm just saying that's how things are.

taiga: Tch....

taiga: That night, maybe if—

-flashback, old starless back room-

taiga: Hmm, doesn't seem like there's any shady external devices connected. Time to look around in the logs. It's been a while since I last saw you, PC-chan. Sorry, but please allow me to lay my hands on you once more~

-time pass-

taiga: Hmm...?

takami: Did you find something useful?

taiga: Nope, nothing. It's just it looks like the data I extracted last time wasn't damaged in any way. For now I'll just make a copy of the entire hard drive.

-takami gets a phone call-

takami (on phone): ...Hm? Kokuyou, what is it? ...Huh? (gasp) Where are you right now? Yes, yes ok, understood.

-takami ends call-

takami: Taiga, they've apparently found him.

taiga: Who, what?

takami: Nekome.

-flashback end, cafe-

takami: You wonder how things would've gone if you had been at the store to find your brother, that's what you want to say right? Do you think that would've changed something?

taiga: I'm... not sure. Big bro was out for the count so he wouldn't have been able to tell me anything anyways. But the person who was caught in the accident with him, I might've been able to verify their identity. I think I'm done with worrying over my brother.

takami: I heard that your reunion didn't go as you'd expected. How do you feel about it now?

taiga: He's alive so it should’ve been a happy occasion but... That wasn't all.

-flashback, city-

nekome: What about you? If you don't like the place then you can quit now right? Your goal has been achieved after all.

-end flashback, cafe-

taiga: I can't just go ahead and quit whilst things are like this. I can't just leave it alone. Big bro is planning something.

takami: ...Is that so? Well, you're the one that's decided that.
