Adonis FS2- Let my voice reach for you Chapter Two
Did you struggle… To be found by someone…
Cast: Adonis, Souma
Author: Suika
Season: Winter
Location: Beach

Adonis: Huh, you just got here, Anzu? I just arrived too. It seems Kanzaki arrived a little bit earlier, it looks like he’s gazing over at the sea.
Souma: Hmm… It seems as though there are no drastic changes; that puts me at ease.
However, Shinkai-dono, too, would probably be more relieved if he sees for himself. Let’s take a picture with this “smartphone.”
“Press here to take a photo,” but why is my face on the screen? I do not wish to take a “selfie,” I wish to take a picture of the sea!
Hah?! What happened… The screen’s completely different now…?
Adonis: Calm down, Kanzaki. Let me take a look at it.
Looks like you’re on video mode, if you press here you’ll be on photo mode.
…? Huh…? Wasn’t it here?
Souma: Adonis-dono, it looks nothing like the other screen we saw. Is it possible to take a photo with this still?
Adonis: Give me a minute… I don’t know how to use smartphones that well either, so I’m a bit confused.
Souma: Aaah, that’s right! I must apologise! I am so sorry for rushing you!
…Hm…? It looks like it’s fixed?
Adonis: No, that’s not this phone. Look over there, Anzu is taking pictures of us.
Souma: Oh, that’s right… Anzu-dono is here to take photos for the “pamphlet.” I must apologise for all the ruckus.
You don’t mind? When Adonis-dono is with me, you get to see a different side of him? I’m happy to be of use.
Adonis: Alright, you should be able to take pictures of the sea now, Kanzaki. I want you to try it out now.
Souma: Aah, thank you.
Mhm! The ocean was captured in all its glory! ♪
Adonis: Hmm, thinking about it now, I’m pretty sure I’ve been to the beach with Anzu before.
But that was a foreign sea, the atmosphere was completely different—but the sea is as beautiful as ever.
Souma: Of course, the weather is good today, so the sea’s surface is shining ever-so brightly under the sun.
The ocean’s charm is that it changes depending on the weather and the ocean currents.
It is especially beautiful in this season, particularly in the early mornings, when the sky turns to white. And when snow falls, it’s a perfect scene! It reminds me of a saying, “early mornings in winter are the best.”
Adonis: I think I’ve heard about that before, wasn’t it related to an old Japanese book?
Souma: I expect nothing less of you, Adonis-dono! Your diligence is admirable; you are truly wonderful ♪
Adonis: No, I’m pretty sure you told me before.
You teach me a lot of things I do not know about this country, Kanzaki—not just you, Kanzaki, but Anzu and Oogami too.
This is the sea’s edge. I came from a land far from here, but you all accepted me all the same. I have a lot of good friends, and that makes me happy.
…I’m sorry. When I see the sea, it reminds me of my hometown.
Souma: There’s no need to worry. Many people come to the sea to reflect on themselves. It allows us to accept our thoughts and emotions in its gentle embrace.
Moreover, if you can find your true feelings about your “feature live,” then it would all be worth reflecting here.
Adonis: Thank you… For Anzu and Kanzaki… And for my own sake, I hope I can get something out of this.
(I’m able to continue my idol activities in this foreign land alongside my friends. I think I have learned many things compared to when I first came here).
(Am I getting closer to my dream?)
Hmm…?
Souma: Are you alright, Adonis-dono?
Adonis: The sand between my feet is moving…
…! Kanzaki, there’s a tiny creature that jumped out of the sand!?
Souma: Calm yourself… Hmm, looks like it is taking a rest. What a rare occurrence in a place like this.
Adonis: Is it rare for hermit crabs to be near the sea…?
Souma: No, I didn't mean it in that way. Shinkai-dono told me that hermit crabs are usually found on the sea shore this time of year, so I was taken aback to see one beneath the sand.
Adonis-dono, let’s take the hermit crab over there.
Adonis: Are you sure I’m the right person for the job…? Wouldn’t they get hurt by my touch?
Souma: There is nothing to be afraid of. Someone as kind-hearted as the Adonis-dono I know would only make a creature feel at ease. Hold it just as you usually do, in your gentle grasp.
Adonis: Anzu, you also think it’s fine? Understood, I’ll try it.
Oooh… Such a small creature is moving in the palm of my hand…
Look over here, Anzu. Isn’t it cute? I could end up staring at it forever.
Souma: You scooped it up perfectly. Let’s take it over to the shoreline over there. Are you comfortable doing so?
Adonis: Aah, don’t you worry. I would never even dream of dropping it.
Hmph, the wind is strong. With the way things are going, the hermit crab will end up getting blown away…!?
Oh, is the wind slowing? Will the hermit crab be safe…?
Looks like it’s taking cover in its shell. I’m glad; it looks like you can protect yourself. Allow me to take you to the shore before the wind starts coming down again.
I’m sorry if you felt scared with me. Please go back to your friends now.
Heh… —Anzu? You’re surprised I noticed the hermit crab?
The sand was moving strangely, so it wasn’t too hard to figure out what was going on.
Kanzaki, I should also thank you. I could find hermit crabs by myself, but I would have never thought to bring them to shore.
Souma: I didn’t help too much, I just gave you some knowledge I had.
I do not know what happened with the hermit crab exactly, but it likely got swept away by the waves from the shore onto the sand.
I am sure it was desperately trying to get back to the shore once more.
I am sure that it felt like begging people to find it on this large beach, and its patience finally paid off when you found it, Adonis-dono.
I am certain the hermit crab appreciated it.
Adonis: Did you struggle… To be found by someone…
Souma: What did you say?
Adonis: It’s nothing… I just thought the hermit crab was like me.
I’ve been singing for a long time too, for songs are a way to express your wishes and your feelings.
This is what I cherish most as Otogari Adonis of UNDEAD. I hope my voice can bring someone peace, even if only for a moment.
I want my voice to be echoed around the world, and I want you to know… I am here.
I have been trying my best to have my dream be heard. That’s what I want for my “feature live.”
Could you consider taking the pamphlet into that direction…?
Souma: So you want to tell the world, then? …Fufu, what a lovely “thought,” it is just like you, Adonis-dono. I cannot wait to see the end result of the “pamphlet.”
Adonis: Ah, then I will be sure to meet the expectations of those who are looking forward to my “feature live.”
No matter where I am in this world, I will be sure to send my voice across the oceans.
Adonis FS2- Let my voice reach for you Chapter One
It’ll take me time to come up with an answer… I’m sorry Anzu, you even made time for me and I left you hanging.
Cast: Adonis, Souma
Author: Suika
Season: Winter
Location: Class 3-B
Proofed by: ketsuinoyaiba
Adonis: Kanzaki, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t this what they call the “boar-deer-butterfly” combo?
Souma: Aah, Adonis-dono, it seems you’ve bested me once and for all. To turn the tides in your favour, why, only someone as wonderful as you could pull something like that off.
Adonis: It’s not like that, I didn’t think I’d get a pull so good.
And anyways, Kanzaki, weren’t you just one card off from victory? You were going for the “three light combo,” right?
Souma: As always, right you are! Fufu, Adonis-dono, looks like you’ve completely memorised all the “rules” in Hanafuda, that makes me happy—completely, wholly, happy ♪.
Adonis: In Kanzaki’s words, “isn’t it best to memorise the pictures?” So, I took your advice, and it’s the reason I managed to recall the “boar-deer-butterfly” combo in the first place.
Souma: Hmm? In the blink of an eye, Adonis-dono, your technique improved so much so that you beat me just like that. I am glad that I had the chance to teach you.
In any case, I am just as happy to be able to play Hanafuda with my friend. Thank you for learning how to play; I truly appreciate it.
Adonis: I should be the one saying thank you.
Kanzaki, you taught me tirelessly, with patience, never once failing in your perseverance. Even when I couldn’t even manage to remember the basics, you never once gave up on me. That’s the only reason I am able to play Hanafuda like this now.
It wasn’t just my own ability that got me this win. I was only able to win because you were there, Kanzaki. So this is all to say… This is a victory for both me and you, a victory for the both of us.
Souma: So, it is our victory, together? What was that word in English again… Oh right, you could call it a “win-win” situation?!
Adonis: Yes. We are a win-win.
Souma: Fufu, Adonis-dono, you think the same too, hm ♪.
Adonis: So how about we—if it’s ok with you—we have another round?
Souma: Of course!—Is what I want to say, but I cannot in good conscience say that, for I am a little worried for Anzu-dono.
Did she not wish to discuss your “feature live” today, Adonis-dono?
Adonis: She asked me to talk to her after school today, but she seems really busy. I can’t even go talk to her now because I don’t know where she is. I’m frustrated.
I hope she hasn’t gotten herself caught in trouble, but just to be sure… Let’s contact her on “HoldHands.”
Souma: I do not think it necessary, Adonis-dono. Speak of the devil and she doth appear.
Adonis: Hmm? Anzu? It’s no worries, I don’t mind waiting, Kanzaki and I were playing Hanafuda together, see?
Souma: It’s true, you do not have to apologise, Anzu-dono. Being able to talk to Adonis-dono was a fun way to pass the time.
Adonis: So don’t worry about us, because it seems like you need to worry about yourself. Take a deep breath in, let’s get you relaxed first.
You okay now? Hmm? You really want to talk to me about my “feature live,” huh? Alright, if you say so.
This is… Oh, it’s those pictures we took for the pamphlet the other day. I guess we should check it over.
Souma: Oh? Could I see too?
I’m unsure if I could be of any use, but if it is for the sake of Adonis-dono’s “feature live,” I wish to give you all the assistance you may need.
There seems to be a lot of options… This one, you’re practising with “Andeddo?” Oh! And this one, it's you running for the track and field club.
Adonis: This one was taken backstage at a live house event.
I was taken aback when Hakaze-senpai suddenly pointed a camera at my face.
I didn’t really understand what an “off-shot” was supposed to be, so I’m grateful to Oogami and my seniors in UNDEAD for their help. And, of course, I’m grateful to you too, Anzu.
Could these pictures be used?
No problems? That’s good to hear.
It seems our problem is that we have too many good photos that we cannot decide on the ones we should end up using…
…Hmph.. This is hard.
When you say “off-shot,” doesn’t that imply what an idol does when they’re not busy dancing or singing on stage? I feel like all these photos match that vibe.
All these photos are taken in good quality too… I can’t decide which one to use at all.
Hmm…? So you’re saying I should just choose a concept for the pamphlet and that’ll help me narrow down which photos to use?
What do I want the pamphlet to look like in the end, anyway? …Another tough question.
Singing and dancing is all good, but this pamphlet stuff is all new to me.
It’ll take me time to come up with an answer… I’m sorry Anzu, you even made time for me and I left you hanging.
So, let’s talk a bit more. The more you get to know me, the clearer the concept may become.
Please do not hesitate. I would rather you say things bluntly than sugarcoat them.
…But is it enough to just talk?
I do think these pictures are all good…
But the fact I cannot decide on which photos I wish to use on my own pamphlet, means that I would have to take more photos, doesn’t it?
Souma: When you decide on what type of “pamphlet” you desire to create, you can choose which photos you can use to fit the theme. However, I do understand your worry.
Adonis: Aah, but I’ve run out of ideas for what other pictures I could take for my “off shot.” I wish I had better ideas…
Souma: Well, if that’s the case… How about we invite Anzu-dono to go to the beach?
Adonis: Is that it? It’s true I haven’t taken any photos by the ocean yet… So perhaps I’ll be able to get a different type of feel compared to my other photos.
Hmm…? Anzu, are you asking if me and Kanzaki already made plans to go to the beach tomorrow?
Actually, we did. Kanzaki and I were going to take a walk down the beach area that’s behind our school during our lunch break.
Souma: Every so often, I go to the beach to check up on the area so I can give Shinkai-dono a report.
In truth, I was initially going to go with Sengoku, but he had work to do, and thus I was thinking about postponing my trip.
Adonis-dono overheard my situation and offered to give me company instead ♪.
Adonis: I also enjoy the sea, and with Kanzaki by my side, I was bound to learn something new out of the experience.
So, if you don't mind, would you like to join us?
Alright, then meet us at lunch time tomorrow.
Souma: Things got a lot more exciting, didn’t they? We’ll see you tomorrow, Anzu-dono.
please tell me summer bird ends up with souma going to uni :(
im so sorry i really am. it does not.
forgive me for ranting on ur post anon but basically. souma only did mock exams to prove he could do it, and had no intention of going to university despite all the chapters setting it up. nazuna also tries to talk him out of school before he says that. essentially it was a fake conflict, his path is "akatsuki" and only "akatsuki." very big bummer bc he doesnt carve his own path really, and kuro and keitos conflict on what they'd do without souma is given a easy solution. AUGH. its so unsatisfying im so sorry. its just bait.
Hinata: Mhm! With Yuuta-kun, I feel like I could reach for the mountaintops!
Yuuta: Don’t you hold my hand while aiming for your goal, let’s prove ourselves by individually competing for who’ll get there first!
Adonis: Hinata and Yuuta have a good relationship, don’t they? With each other’s presence they can encourage each other to reach for the next level.
Souma: Mhm! In other words, the pair of brothers are hard at work together in friendly competition, splendid ♪.
Adonis: Friendly competition, huh? I remember you told me we had that type of relationship, Kanzaki. When we compete against each other, we grow stronger together.
Souma: Mhm! It is not only limited to only siblings, but close friends like us. We can make each other better as people, and as idols.
Adonis: That’s right. With Kanzaki, I feel like I can reach heights I never could have before. If we team up, I’m sure we can compete against Hinata and Yuuta.
Souma: That sounds excellent to me, come, let us brave this together, Adonis-dono!
Hinata: Is this some sort of game? Even if I’m competing against my senpai, I still wanna reach for the top! Let’s go Yuuta-kun
From today and onwards, I’m the lord of the hotpot… ♪
Cast: Adonis, Tetora, Izumi, Yuzuru
Author: Yuumasu
Season: Summer
Location: Kitchen
Proofed by: Gelyan
Tetora: Ooh, it’s Otogari-senpai! Ossu!
It’s such a coincidence to see ya here~! Are ya here to get some cooking done?
Adonis: Ah, yes. You can cook here to your heart’s content, so I can eat as much meat as I want to. What about you, Nagumo?
Tetora: You’re asking about me? I was hungry, so I came here to make some cup ramen.
Adonis: Cup ramen, huh…? It’s easy to make, but it’s not very nutritious.
I’ll cook for you, too. You’re a growing boy, so you need to eat meat.
Tetora: Is it really okay for you to treat me like this? Aww man, let’s go!
I’d feel bad if I’m just sitting and watching ya, so I’m gonna help too!
I’ll do whatever I can~♪ I’m not the same guy who blew up that one oven before…☆
Adonis: You blew up an oven? I feel like you’d need to be particularly skilled to accomplish something like that.
Izumi: What’s this? Nagumo and Otogari, what are you doing here? —Well, it’s a kitchen, so I guess you must be cooking.
Ah, what are you making? Perhaps it’s shogayaki?
Adonis: I haven’t decided yet, but why shogayaki?
…Aah, is it because of that cooking contest from before?*
Izumi: That’s right. Only those who are confident in their cooking ability would enter a contest, but you ended up entering one so recklessly with shogayaki as your main dish..
It’s a simple dish, that only requires dipping it in some tare sauce and letting it grill, yet you still caused such a scene, huh? You gave me such a hard time, didn’t you, Nagumo?
Tetora: Ossu! Thanks for helping me back then.
(Mumbles) But back then, wasn’t Sena-senpai the one who got involved first…?
Izumi: What did you say?
Tetora: Er, it was nothing!
Yuzuru: Thank you for your patience, Sena-sama. I have brought some ingredients, so—hmm?
Adonis: Fushimi? Are you here to cook?
…The box is full of vegetables.
Izumi: Vegetables are essential if I want something low calorie, nutrient rich, great for the skin, and delicious. Perhaps I’m asking for too much?
Yuzuru: Being in “Niki’s Kitchen,” Sena-sama’s goal is to cook for his figure, while I’m learning to cook for the young master’s sake.
We had a mutual understanding, so we shared our ideas with each other and tried to create the ideal nutritional diet.
Shall we begin, then? Sena-sama, I look forward to working together with you.
Tetora: Woah, there’s all sorts of vegetables I’ve never seen before..
It looks like they’re giving it their all, c’mon we can’t lose!
…Otogari-senpai? What’s with the frown?
Adonis: …Will they only eat vegetables?
Meat has as much nutritious value as vegetables. I wish they would eat it…
Tetora: Aah, is that it~?
If you don’t know what to make, how about you make a dish they both want to eat?
Like, a dish that uses a bunch of vegetables and meat!
Adonis: Ah… I see… Good idea.
But, my culinary repertoire is limited. I only have general knowledge, like how to grill skewers, or boiling things in a pot.
I don’t have the skill to come up with ideas like Sena-senpai and Fushimi. Let me go over to the book room and get a cookbook.
Tetora: …Or you could search it up on your phone? …Hm?
Ah! I have a great idea! Spare me a second, will ya? Whisper whisper
Adonis: Hm. I guess I could do that.
—Sena-senpai, Fushimi, we have something.
If you don’t have a recipe yet, then why not combine forces and cook together with us?
(After a while)
Tetora: Woah! It’s boiling like some cauldron in hell~
Adonis: Oh, has Nagumo seen a cauldron in hell?
Tetora: What, no way! It was just an example!
Izumi: I thought about a lot of things to make, but I never thought about making mizutaki.
Yuzuru: Fufu, it’s not unexpected. It’s perfect for this cold weather.
Adonis: Mhm. Warming up your body will increase your basal metabolism, which will make it easier for you to burn calories. Letting the vegetables simmer will also let you consume plenty of them.
And most importantly, this chicken is delicious. It’s a dish that sparks joy and satisfies all of us.
Nagumo, how did you know so much about mizutaki?
Tetora: During our “SHIN” activities, I remember taichou making it. It was popular among us circle members because you could eat a lot of vegetables and meat at the same time ☆.
Adonis: Is that so? I’ll have to thank Kiryuu-senpai later.
…Hm? Sena-senpai, it looks like you’re only eating vegetables?
Izumi: It’s not just vegetables, there’s soup too.
Adonis: Soup is a drink.
Sure, it’s true broth that’s been extracted from boiled meat can be beneficial to the skin, but without the amino acids found in meat, you miss out on the full health benefits.
Izumi: What’s all this? You know so much about this?
Adonis: I like meat. When you like something, it’s only natural to become familiar with it, right?
Izumi: I see. Well, I too know a lot about my beloved Yuu-kun.
Adonis: Mhm. So, that’s why you should eat meat.
Izumi: What do you mean by “that’s why?”
Alright, alright. If you insist, I’ll go ahead and eat a bit.
…Hm… Delicious.
Adonis: Heh, I’m glad.
Meat is good for you. It makes people smile.
Okay, I’ll go and get the biggest piece for Sena-senpai.
Izumi: Hey, aren’t you being too considerate?
Yuzuru: Fufu, you’re like the lord of the hotpot.
Adonis: The lord of the hotpot? I don’t understand, but it sounds like a title straight out of a period drama, doesn’t it? I like it.
From today and onwards, I’m the lord of the hotpot… ♪

The contest Izumi and Adonis are referring to at the start is a reference to the scout Cooking!
Koga: Oioi, who even are they!? Is that seriously AKATSUKI…!?
Kaoru: Ahaha! Koga-kun, why are you so surprised? Well, I mean my eyes can’t believe it either.
This is going to be a good competition with how close the results are~
But… I know a lot of girls are going to come see the show. And, of course, I want to win their affections.
Sakuma-san, let’s not lose either.
We’ll show them that guys with a hint of danger are more attractive than guys who whisper sweet nothings in your ear ♪
Rei: Kuku, it seems the flames of your motivation have been ignited.
Likewise, I’m full of energy as well. Soon the sun will set, and night will come. It’s time for us monsters to rise. It’s too late to escape now, for it’s time for us to feast.
Kaoru: Save it for the stage. Aah well, I guess I am counting on you to support me out there, huh?
…Hey Anzu-chan? Didya come here to support me? I’m so happy~ You really love me don’t you ♪?
Huh? I’m not the only one you’re here to support? It’s cuz you got off work and so you’re here to cheer everyone on?
Ahaha, I wish you’d say it was “only me” you’re here for, even if it’s a lie… Huh? You’ve got one more thing to do?
Eeh?! What’s wrong Anzu-chan! Why’d you suddenly bow your head like that?
You’re sorry for causing a misunderstanding…? Eh? Isn’t this about Adonis-kun?
You don’t need to apologise, Anzu-chan. It was my fault, afterall, for making such a big deal out of some miscommunication.
I’m glad everything is going well, y’kno? Plus Adonis-kun is back to normal—or I guess, now he’s bustling with energy after getting chocolates from his juniors.
Well, obviously, I’d prefer to get chocolates from a girl I like and not my juniors… Eh..? What? Happy Valentine's Day?
Hah? Is this, could it be? Chocolate from Anzu-chan? “Yes, that’s it,” haaah?
Thank you, Anzu-chan! I seriously didn’t expect to get anything from you like this, your surprise makes me sooo happy!
Could this mean… Is this a serious declaration…?
Huuh? I’m not the only one, you’re going to give it to everyone?
Eh? You made chocolates for, like, everyone? That’s a ton of work, isn’t it?
Not really? You’re good at making sweets, huh? Well, if you say you had fun making it with such a big smile plastered all over your face, then I can’t argue with that.
…Thanks. Even if you made these chocolates to give to everyone, I’ll still savour every bite ♪
Aah, AKATSUKI’s performance has ended. It’s our turn next, so let’s hit the stage.
Anzu-chan, don’t take your eyes away from us, alright? Nah, I’ll show you a performance where you won’t be able to take your eyes away from us.
Kuro: Hasumi, Kanzaki, good job out there.
Keito: Mhm, Kiryuu, you did great work too. AKATSUKI’s performance was just as good as Knights.
It’s all thanks to your hard work. I’m serious, thank you.
Kuro: What’s with all the thanks? It was fun ta do somethin’ that ain’t our usual.
Souma: I, as well, think likewise to Kiryuu-dono.
However, when the “live” came to an end, all of the girls gathered to say, “that was ‘totes sexy!’” Such words leave me perplexed.
I felt like I was not doing what I was taught. They even asked me to “blow a ‘kiss,’” as a request, which greatly troubled me.
Kuro: I get it, I also felt strange ‘bout it.
…Oh, it looks like UNDEAD’s on the stage now. Haha, they’re already on fire, maybe our performance gave them some inspiration?

AKATSUKI- Bright Future◆Black Paradise Flycatchers Facing the Heavens Chapter Seven
Cast: Souma, Adonis, Koga, Ritsu
Writer: Akira
Season: Summer
Plus, unlike Corgi, Kankan is actually pretty good at studying. But I don’t think the current Corgi is ready for that discussion ♪
Chapter Seven
(Lunch time, several days later)
Souma: This question seems to use the law of cosines…
(...Splendid. It looks like I am making strides to overcome these difficulties I face in the subjects I am no good in.)
(At this rapidly progressing rate, I am sure I shall attain the grades I desire on the mock exam too… Next, I should try to go over English once more.)
…
Koga: …Yer still goin’ at it, huh~? Zakki~
Don’t ya tell me, fuckin’ glasses over there’s got some study fever~. Damn, is he seriously gonna waste away gnawing at that desk.
Adonis: Don’t talk badly about my friend, Oogami.
To endeavour to study hard is a good thing. Kanzaki said he willingly chose to do this, so we will support him.
Koga: Well, yeah, sure it’s a good thing. But Adonis, ya should know what AKATSUKI’s current situation is?
Y’kno, I even heard from Sakuma-senpai that one of their jobs got canned cuz the RhythLink’s Veterans got a business trip.
So far, all AKATSUKI’s been doin’ is little jobs that the big guys don’t care ‘bout.
Yah, “freedom” sure sounds great, but if ya ain’t put in the work, ya ain’t gonna eat. If Zakki takes the exam, there ain’t no way in hell it’s not gonna impact AKATSUKI~
I mean, it’s why Nito-senpai’s activities in Ra*bits are on hiatus, they’re becomin’ more individualistic.
And if he wants to go back, is there any guarantee there’s even an AKATSUKI to go back to?
Adonis: Hmm… I didn’t think about that…
But, I’m sure AKATSUKI will be fine. AKATSUKI is a talented group, one that everyone recognises.
Koga: That was the case in Yumenosaki.
Adonis: Hah, is that so. It seems you too, Oogami, recognise that AKATSUKI is one of Yumenosaki’s powerhouse units.
Koga: Eh?! That ain’t what I mean~!
Damn, y’kno we shouldn’t even be the ones stressin’ over this~ Wouldn’t it be better ta just tell Zakki ‘bout all this?
Ritsu: I’m against it.
Koga: Jesus!—yer awake, Ricchu~…!
Ritsu: Well if we want to be technical, you woke me up. Corgi, you’re always chattering away when I’m right by you.
Koga: Damn, that’s my bad…
But what about this, Ricchu~? When Zakki’s off studyin’ AKATSUKI might end up in some major shit.
Yer not in RhythLink, so you wouldn’t get it. I guess that's why ya can have an optimistic outlook on all this?
Ritsu: Hm~ I mean if he’s decided, then what does it matter?
Plus, unlike Corgi, Kankan is actually pretty good at studying. But I don’t think the current Corgi is ready for that discussion ♪
Adonis: That’s also true. If Oogami told him to stop studying, I doubt it’d even resonate with him, he probably wouldn't follow through with the demand, or that’s what I think.
Koga: Hey man! Now you’re just calling me an idiot in some 4D chess type of way…!
Adonis: Don’t get so angry. I don’t think it’d have an effect if any of us were to tell him.
Ritsu: Yes, yes. Our opinions on idols isn’t going to dissuade Kankan.
Thinking of all the profits and losses, I don’t think I’d play the troublesome role of class representative if I knew we’d be talking about this… ♪*
Hey, Corgi, you’re a member of a traditional agency, so what if they told you to stop behaving so vulgarly~ You’d rebel, wouldn’t you~?
Koga: Well if yer askin’ me, then that’s just rock~
Ritsu: Mhm ♪ Seems like you’re convinced then?
Anyways, you always learn more from your own mistakes than from what other people tell you.
Koga: …? You’re talking like you know Zakki’s going to fail?
Ritsu: Heh, nah I was just talking broadly speaking. Kankan is smart, so I don’t think he’ll fail ♪
…Huh? Anzu, you came to our class? Is there anything wrong?
Oh, it has to do with Kanzaki? What are you talking about?
Souma: (Hmm… I still cannot shake the feeling that I am insufficient at English)
(Although I’ve begun to memorise vocabulary, it is far from perfect. Not to mention these grammar points and idioms—)
Hm…? What’s the matter, Anzu-dono?
Ooh, you saw me studying and you wanted to learn yourself?
Just as one would expect of you, Anzu-dono, splendid! I heard that teaching is one way of learning itself, so it’s all fine by me if you join. I shall give you various types of problems… ♪
Koga: She came to study here? She’s usually in the producer department, what kind of stroke of luck got her to come here?
Ritsu: Hmm… Anzu seems to have come here to check on Kankan. I mean there’s a lot of rumours floating around, so I guess that must be why she’s here.
Koga: Then why not just say that. What’s the point in coming here to study?
Adonis: …So that’s it. Why didn’t I think of that?
Souma: Haha! So Anzu-dono is too busy with work to study? I am the same ♪
Let’s review what we’ve learned… ♪
Adonis: Kanzaki, can I join you?
I’m no good at Japanese, but I can teach you English. And if Kanzaki says he wants to do his best, I want to work hard alongside him.
Souma: Ooh, Adonis-dono as well…!
How about the three of us all work together on this problem? It would prove to be useful for the end of term “tests.”
Adonis: Thank you. Let’s get to it then.
Koga: Hey, wait, now Adonis’s in the group? Bastard, don’t you dare start thinking about shit like college too…!?
Ritsu: Aha. Corgi, you don’t really hate studying, do you?
…I can’t read Anzu’s thoughts, but I’m sure instead of being treated like some foreigner it’s better to embrace this situation.
Anzu~ If you’re going to study, then let me join you ♪
Koga: Yo, Ricchu~ Don’t ya tell me yer gonna join them too!?
Ritsu: Hehehe, in this day and age even idols need to be smart, no ♪? Instead of sulking by yourself, why don’t you study with us, Corgi?
Koga: Tch, I’ll never get into this studying crap!
Souma: …Haha. My classmates seem so lively ♪
Instead of opting to study alone, perhaps it is best to deepen our understanding together… ♪
(However, I did not think this would become such a large scale study group.)
(I shall create results that include everyone, that way I’m sure Hasumi-dono may also—)

*This line was hard to interpret, since Souma’s the class representative I thought this would be about him, but it seems like Ritsu is being sarcastic about the role he found himself in.
