In this formless world filled with sorrow
I call out your name and embrace you
The pouring rain is making the town lights look hazy
We two were next to each other and watched them
I had no destination however as long as you were there
That was my home
The broken mirror is reflecting the monochrome dream’s remains
What do you desire?
We are still alive and only want to live out our fate
If that’s not sloth then what is it?
As I overcame my insecurities I spill out my prayer
Before everything ends, please somehow give me your love
We cannot undo the things that we did
To pay for my wish
I won’t show my loneliness and give you a smile
Just stay by my side somehow
Someday the rain stopped, someday that something disappeared
I wonder if you have noticed yet
With no doubt that day was reality and despite my words
I already feel so empty now
On the other side of the deceitful purgatory the colors of my sins (memories) become crystal clear
..Where are you?
The feelings of losing you are piercing me
Please do not write it off as sentimentality
On the other side of the unreal sky, no more will I
be able to touch you and if you say there is still time to be honest
“I cannot forget the things that I did” I confess like a stupid grown-up
After all I destroyed you with my arrogant intentions and that wasn’t justice
As the seasons vacantly pass by and the funerals are lining up, my hopes from the past
Cannot reach my voice yet my monologue steadily continues
Hey, why does the rain’s sound remain in the depths of my ears
Although I am so angry it is pleasant at the same time
I wanted it to reach you yet couldn’t tell you my pain
You knew all of this and were hurting, weren’t you?
We are still alive and only want to live out our fate
If that’s not sloth, then what is it?
As I overcame my insecurities I spill out my love
Even now I am waiting and longing for you
We cannot undo the things that we did
To pay for my wish
I won’t show my loneliness and while laughing,
I shall offer you this poem for eternity
From the アルピュル山脈ROCKFES2017 (Alpyuru Mountain Range ROCKFES 2017) event.
Next up is the Monster Hunter event episode~
Selen
The Alpyuru live was so much fun, am I right guys♪
Orion
Ahh yes. Today’s golden melodias left no room for complaints yet again. Isn’t it so, Chitan?
Chitan
Yeah that’s true..
My horn has been responding relentlessly to the noble mountain range’s beats..This live show surely..
Argon
Haaa, Seeeeeiiiii! Alpyuru’s high density oxygen does the same to my 8 pack abs!!
Let’s do a steady revolution party~~~!! Foo~~!!
Selen
God! You’re so annoying, Argon. Would you leave behind that muscle brain for a second since everyone’s still on the Alpyuru, you know?
Orion
I have already purchased all leisure facilities that own the wide range of hot springs at the mountain’s foot. Over there we can heal from the live’s exhaustion slowly.
Jii! Book the golden suit room. These will be our afterparty preparations.
Jii
Understood, young master.
Argon
Before the afterparty I’m gonna look over the “Alpyuru mountain range 100 million sound dollar boot camp” tour’s opening place~
Selen
Hmm~ then I will head back to the hotel first♪
Chitan
Ah, well..I also have some business to do left. You guys can go ahead first. See you.
Selen
I heard that at night it can go below sub-zero temperatures here? Please be careful, Chitan.
Orion
(...Chitan is in such a hurry...What on earth could he be doing?)
---
Chitan
..Ugh..To think there’s a snowstorm of all times...
(Bolt..Nickel...)
-flashback-
Nickel
Awesome! Big bro is going to the Alpyuru? Hooray! Hooray! I wanna go too~~!
Bolt
You can’t, Nickel! Big brother is going because of work!
Nickel
Uhh..But..If I went to the Alpyuru I could see this painting..right?
Chitan
What painting?
Is there a painting in the Alpyuru that you want to see?
Nickel
Yep! In my favorite picture book there’s a story about looking for a painting hanging in the big Alpyuru church!
Bolt
But they were only looking for it and didn’t draw the actual painting in that book. So we have no idea what kind of picture it is...
Nickel
That’s why I always thought it would be nice to see that painting...
Chitan
..I know! You two, could you lend your big brother your notebook and some crayons?
Nickel and Bolt
Ehhh, why?
Chitan
Once I find the painting I will redraw it perfectly! Inside this notebook!
I’m not only good at the piano but drawing as well!
Nickel and Bolt
Yaay! I’m so excited!
Chitan
Yep! Leave it to your big brother!!
-present time-
Chitan
Hahh..hahh....This is the church..I finally made it...
This has to be..the painting Nickel and Bolt wanted to see...Something this beautiful...It’s the best..
Crap! ..My hands are trembling so much that I can’t touch the crayons...hah..the notebook is frozen and I can’t open it...
Bolt..Nickel...I’m sorry... The truth is..your big brother isn’t actually good at drawing..
..I just wanted to see you two happy...
Somehow your big brother..is getting really sleepy..
*bell sounds*
Argon
...i! ...Sei! ...Sei!
...Sei! Sei! Sei!! Se~~~~i!!
Oi oi Chitan~ If you’re gonna sleep at such a frozen place...
You will have a party at the great buddha’s heaven in no time~~!
Chitan
Sei..? ....Ar..gon..?
Argon
Wake up, Chitaaaa~~~an!! Let’s go home..back to everyone!
Chitan
S..sorry, Argon. This painting..I have to copy this painting...*zzz*
Argon
Chitaan~? ..He fell asleep. Did you even finish copying this painting~?
Selen
Chitan! Argon! Are you two okay?
Orion
Chitan!! ..Is he asleep? Jii!! Bring me a golden blanket! I will warm up his fingers immediately!!
Jii
Understood, young master.
Selen
That aside, why did Chitan even come to a place like this?
Argon
Sei..Didn’t I say he was about to fall asleep~? Lemme finish copying this painting for you~
Selen
Hmmm~...Chitan does some mysterious things sometimes.♪
Well, since it has to be pretty important to him I will just take a photo!♪ *click*
Orion
Anyways, let’s head to the hotel immediately. I shall escort Chitan back!
Selen
Despite everything, Chitan is sleeping with such a happy face~ Fufu♪
Argon
Good grief~ What a trouble causing sleeping beauty he is~. Foo~~!!
Notes
For those who forgot: Nickel (the young one) and Bolt (the older one) are Chitan’s younger brothers he keeps a secret in order to not uncover his private life. He takes care of them while their parents work off the family’s debts.
ARCAREAFACT tour episode 3 “Gold VS Crimson Red Collision!”translation
I know it took more than a year but here it is! And with that all Arcareafact tour episodes have been translated.
Chitan
This is today’s live stage..this must be the first time we are having an outdoor live. Our artist sound shall echo through the night sky!
Argon
Ha ha! Sei Sei Seeeei! Tonight’s liiiiveeee is party night! Let’s raise the tension!!! Fooo!!!
Selen
Fufu ♪When the money dances in the night sky everyone’s eyes at the venue will be dyed in gold..I’m looking forward to it ♪
Orion
Jii! Prepare it immediately! The Sound Dollar Shower Machine EX Gold Outdoor Type!
Jii
Understood, young master.

Crow
So lame.. damn it, weeding out the live venue. What kinda part time job is that?! If that’s popular nowadays it’s totally the apocalypse..
Aion
The darkness’s night wind..it even wraps the Dark God’s frozen heart into the abyss...
Crow
You bastard, help out too Hetareon* !! If we don’t finish this quickly we won’t make it to that Anime rebroadcasting in time!!
Yaiba
This time as well, with my Ryuukenden I shall show you the secret technique Legend of Weeding out I had mastered! Hence (rest omitted)
Chitan
? That’s..
Orion
Who are these suspicious men? Sneakily crawling on the ground. You don’t fit into our live venue.
...Or could it be you guys want money?
Selen
If you have heard about our live show we will give you the presents right away~ ♪
Argon
Hey hey~! These poor kids~~?
Could it be you’re interested in our party night~~?
Crow
Hah? Hey! What’s with you idiots?! Love Parry Might? Is this the apocalypse of foreign languages?!
Yaiba
Hence, it is something like a nightly live banquet. In any case this seems to be the band performing at tonight’s venue.
Orion
Good luck poor people! We shall now set up the Sound Dollar Shower Machine EX Golden Outdoor Type for a test run. Jii! Get started.
*Menacing*
Crow
W-what is this huge golden mecha thing..?! Somehow it’s blowing a crazy amount of stuff into the sky!
Yaiba
From the sky...something is raining down...Therefore..?
Aion
...Paper?
Rom
This isn’t paper! It’s...money!!
Crow
Rom!? You don’t have work tonight?!
Rom
While I happened to be around, I came to see how your part time went..And I saw something real disgusting happening.
You guys!! That’s money! Working so hard after shedding all that sweat! When you finally earn it you gotta value it!
Selen
Huh?
I have seen this person somewhere before..
Rom
Distributing this in large amount of bundles! Just what’s your intention?!
Chitan
...!
Orion
What are you getting so worked up over? We are merely saying that with our gold we will bring eternal light into your poor hearts.
Because we are the golden artists!
Yaiba
Hence? Golden artist you say.. Adding gold to everything seems to be your custom! This is the legend of inexcusable!
Argon
Oi oi~~ If you’re that greedy, you won’t be able to enjoy our live show~~?
If this keeps up it’s gonna make me dance~~~~ Fooo~~~!!
Aion
Not even the Dark Sun God is able to understand this language of another world. However I understood that you’re the army rebelling against God!
Crow
Hey you bastards!! Stop with that jingle jangle sparkle sprinkle!!
We might not have the money but minds are crimson red! And with this soul...we will get to the top of MIDICITY!
You bastards looking golden shiny brats, in this apocalypse we peel off your metal plating!!
Chitan
The top...?! We create the best art thus steal that spot faster than anyone...! I won’t let anyone interfere!
Selen
Could this be a declaration of battle of the bands? How nice..My heart has started throbbing~ ♪
Rom
Tch, although I was just passing by..But it’s not bad to settle a score with battle of the bands. Rather..isn’t that pretty hot?!
Orion
That’s fine with me! Our gold against your crimson red. The mass decides which is worthy of winning!
Jii! Golden-hijack all screens in Shibu Valley! We will broadcast the live in this city!
Jii
Understood, young master.
Chitan
Something like losing, I won’t allow it.. Whoever the opponent might be I will absolutely win..No matter what I’ll have to do..!
Rom
Spoilt brats who don’t know anything about the world..with the music of our real fiery souls, we will make you open your money fixated eyes!!
Orion
Let’s get started! Our Gold VS Crimson Red collision starts now!
---
Chitan
This is our art...Four people’s personalities are being weaved together into a harmony. This is the golden melodias..!
Crow
Hey! You cold-hearted horn boy**! This isn’t too shabby!! However! Our crimson red colored souls..won’t be controlled by your money!
Orion
You there with the glasses! It seems you’re not an ordinary beggar! I, of all people, am quite satisfied with this performance! With everything you have, let it all out!
Yaiba
You too***! Legend of you’re not fooling around!
When you play this golden violin, it seems you’re not just putting up a show...! In this case I won’t either!
Argon
Hey bro, covered in dark, can you keep up with our high speed dancing beat? Ha! Seiseiseiseisei!
Aion
Hmpf..! You’re just like the other world’s herbivorous animals...In this god-like domain, know your place!
Selen
Fufu ♪ This drum’s sound..it has to be it. I have heard this in my library before, there’s no mistaking ♪
Rom
What are you mumbling over there?! The fight has barely started!
Selen
Hey guys, did you know?

Selen
...the true reason why their former vocalist has signed a contract with Judas..?
Rom
Hah!! What did you say..?!
Yaiba
Hence, our rhythm!
Aion
..It’s being disturbed.
Crow
Hey!! What’s going on Rom! We were about to win!!
Rom
......
Yaiba
Rom!!!
Crow
Rom! Without your rhythm, who’s gonna lead Shingan Crimsonz!!!

Crow
Rom!!!!!
Rom

..Don’t worry cattles. It’s fine...! Let’s heat it up once more! Our crimson red soul!
Aion
Hah.. This time as well, I will show you my divine revelations..
Yaiba
Hence! This is our legend of the...!
Crow
This is our real crimson red fallen apocalypse!! Let’s go!!!!!
Chitan
Despite the rhythm being disturbed, they picked it back up in one breath! You guys...are artists..
But the winners will be us!
Orion
Wonderful. Who knew that apart from Chitan there were other guys who can make me this excited!
Argon
Foooooo! Let’s rise up our rhythm the best we can~~~! Everyone! Let’s fly~~ Golden high!!!!
Selen
I wonder if I said too much..This is indeed the most entertaining live I had so far ♪
*bzzzt bzzzzt*
Argon
Seeei~? The screens have been deactivated~~..?
Chitan
Due to the collision of musical energy, perhaps the facility overheated?
Orion
What did you say?! Like this we can’t let the mass judge the winner. Jii! Distribute street questionnaires!
Crow
Tch! Although it was just getting good!!.. But ahh..what a kill joy.
Aion
There is no moment of rest until the god’s anime rebroadcast...I will return to my sanctuary.
Yaiba
Can’t be helped then..It seems we will have to use the next opportunity to decide the winner. Furthermore our savage (rest omitted)
Rom
Hey you. It seems that you know some extra stuff but how about you drop your name first?
Selen
I’m Selen. Sorry about before ♪ You are Shingan Crimsonz’s Rom-san now ♪
Rom
Next time before you talk nonsense we should finish the battle.
Crow
Hey you bastards! Next up is your apocalypse of finishing this just right! Also be kinder to your money! See ya!
Chitan
They’re..people who are serious about aiming for the top. Hah..not bad.
Selen
Huh Could it be you’re smiling? This is the first time I have seen Chitan’s smiling face ♪
Band is so much fun after all. Let’s do our best at today’s live, guys ♪
Orion
Selen. back then when you talked to that muscle brain the live’s atmosphere changed completely..What did you say?
Selen
Ahh it was nothing. ♪
Argon
Seeei..Foooo...!! Foooo...!!! The excitement hasn’t calmed down yet~! Can we take our jets for a bit and head to a spa~? Sei!
Chitan
..Shingan Crimsonz huh. Next time we will settle the score for sure!!
Notes
*Hetareon/ヘタレオン: for those who watch the anime probably know that it’s a pun between hetare (weak;lazy;good for nothing) + Aion. Crow’s personal nickname for Aion
**Crow calls Chitan Tsuntsuntsuno/ツンツンツノ (tsuno=horn;tsun=cold/blunt,popular stereotype in anime)
***Yaiba refers to Orion as Onushi/お主 (”you”), which is an old-fashioned way to refer to someone inferior or equal to you.

Nickel
Wow~♪ There are so many games~
Bolt
Hey! You mustn’t run in the shop, Nickel!
Chitan
This is Ike Poach’s* famous electronics chain store. The selection is amazing..
Bolt
Big brother, this shop is amazing..! There are so many game consoles!
Nickel
Big bro big bro! Can I pick this one? I wanna try playing this game!
Chitan
Ah sure..it’s the test corner after all. You can choose whatever you want.
Nickel
Yaaay! Let’s play together, big bro♪
Bolt
Yeah! This game is super popular at my school right now! I always wanted to give it a try too...
Chitan
You two...Just endure it a little more until my part-time pays me..afterwards your big bro will definitely...
Nickel
Waaah, I lost....I wanna play with big bro together too! Hurry hurry!
Chitan
Sure! I just need to take down this monster, right?
Bolt
Exactly! Hunt it down! Do your best, big brother!
Chitan
Ahh, leave it to your big brother! ...!? W-what is this light?! I-I’m getting sucked in...!!! ...
Bolt
Big brother---?!
Nickel
Aaaah! Big bro got sucked in by the game~~!!

Chitan
Uhh....this is...?! ...Bolt! Nickel! Where are you?!
Maple
You’re finally awake meow, Chitan-kun.
Chitan
And you are?!
Maple
It’s me the totally pretty “Idol-chan style ♪ Maple-chan” meow ♪
Chitan
Where the hell am I? Are Bolt and Nickel safe?!
Maple
..Now, now please calm down and let me explain first meow.
This is the world of the game you just played. “Monster hunter”..!
You’re here at the Gathering Hall meow!
Chitan
World of a videogame..? It’s like something straight out of an anime became reality...
Maple
Well~ A lot of this and that and there and here happened...something like that meow!
Chitan
In any case! Bring me back to my little brothers immediately! They must be worried sick for sure!
Maple
..Chitan-kun, you must love your little brothers very much~ However~ With my power alone this is a wish I cannot grant...meow.
Chitan
Stop messing around! What’s with this “meow” bullshit, you egg shaped bastard! My little brothers are waiting for me!!
Maple
Ow! It hurts!! Don’t poke me with your horn~~~! Haaaah!!
F-for this situation there is a theory to go home meow!
To be precise! Force back the monsters! Take down “Ouma Diablos” and “Valphalk”!
Chitan
...What did you say?
Maple
If you want to return to your little brothers then you have to force back these two big monsters as soon as possible meow!
Chitan
I’m supposed to fight monsters..?
Maple
However~! The current you doesn’t have any weapons! And with only your horn you cannot win! This world’s monster won’t go easy on you meow~
Chitan
..So you’re basically saying I should collect equipment in order to counter the monsters. My horn is feeling it too.. I have to collect powerful equipment..!
Maple
As expected of Chitan’s horn power, it’s judgement is on point!
What fits Chitan best is something with a sharp form that is also captivating...
“Zex equipment”! Hurry up and collect it quickly meow! This way the path to your little brothers will open by itself..meow!
Chitan
Your...words are telling nothing but the truth..right?
Maple
Of course meow! Your brothers are surely watching their brother doing his best meow ♪
Chitan
Ugh...Wait for me, you two..! With my Zex I will make the world spin!

* Ike Poach is a wordplay of the district’s name 池袋(Ikebukuro). 袋(fukuro) means sack, bag, pouch, so yeah it’s probably a weird typo for pouch
From the “Summer Seaweed Panic” event 2017
This ep is weird as hell
Orion
Soon the “Judas★male swimmer tournament” will take place!
And I’m here to make an announcement! This time with no fail, we, ARCAREAFACT, will claim the golden victory! It’s midsummer..it’s blazing !
Last time at the “Judas★baseball tournament” we let victory escape by just one step…
Selen
This again? Really now Orion, you’re such a sore glasses wearing loser~♪
Argon
Well, that last throw came out as such an unexpected breaking ball~ It’s sad but that’s why they’re miracle balls~*
Orion
Dammit...If only I had seen through their last sign and taken an time-out..after all Chitan’s bat usually pierces the sky..
Chitan
..Hahh..hahh..hah!
Everyone
Chitan?
Chitan
Hah..hah..You guys, don’t worry about what happened last time. At the next tournament we will secure the top spot..for sure..!
Orion
Hmpf..I see. We should be doing an elaborated warm-up instead of letting our inner fighting spirit boil..isn’t that so?? Chitan!!
Selen
Well for me, next time I will definitely not lose ♪
Argon
Sei seeei~! When it comes to swimming, Argon’s butterfly will snatch the championship~~?? Foo!!
Chitan
Our entry event is the medley relay. With the four of us and nothing but the best I will make our golden swimming spin. That’s all.
Orion
Exactly Chitan!!
In order to make our victory at this tournament certain, I prepared only the finest and most secret strategy!
I invested 100 billion sound dollar and created this miraculous item. Jii! The example, please.
Jii
Understood, young master.
Orion
Look closely! This golden swimwear!!
Chitan
Golden..? It looks like common swimwear...
Orion
Hah, so foolish Chitan! This swimwear is made of the latest technology! The inside is being supported by a golden coating and furthermore..
Its water resistance has been reduced to the minimum! With this swimwear I had achieved my new personal record of 6.9 seconds!
And because of this, it’s the best of the best masterpiece!
Selen
6.9 seconds is your new best time? Isn’t that way slower than your former record?
Argon
Hah! Who cares!! Isn’t that great~~ this might just work! I’m getting all fired up too~~!! Foo!!
Orion
Anyways, for us no other word exists but “victory”! I have adjusted our system into perfection like never before!
And for this matter..let’s hold a strategy meeting!
Selen
Okay~ my mouth was getting a little dry~
Argon
While dancing let’s think of a strategy~~
Chitan
Ha..ha...Fu..!
Orion
Hmm indeed. With our current skill level our victory is safe but we don’t know what unexpected circumstances will await us at the tournament.
In order to build a solid system that breaks through any hardships we face isn’t there any good golden idea we can use?
Selen
Oh right! What if we swapped out the water with money and swim like this? Wouldn’t that shrink our time?
Orion
I see. We are best compatible with sound dollar after all. However this is a violation of the rules.
Argon
Seiseisei! I’m next!!
We could deploy an air charter jet at the starting block and jump along the jet’s pressure ~~!! Like this we will finish within one second~~! Foo~!!
Orion
Indeed. Since each of us owns a private jet this might work.
Selen
“This might work”?! Isn’t that also against the rules?! Hey Chitan, what do you think?
Chitan
...Hah..Hah..Hah..Fuh..
Selen
Chitan?! You’re still warming up?
Chitan
Ah yes. Entering the water without proper warm-up is bad for your health but I’m good to go now. Sorry but could someone measure my time?
Orion
Hmm..
Selen
Okaaay~♪ Are you done preparing? Ready...set...go!
---
Orion
!!!!!!!
Chitan, this swimstyle..?!
Argon
You’re so fast, Chitaaaaan~~!! It’s like you’re walking on water~! Foo~~!!
Selen
So fast! He’s way too fast! He already made the turn?!
Chitan
Hah!
*Splash*
Orion
This turn..?! I haven’t forgotten it..Back then during our time at the academy that guy showed me the same legendary Unicorn Q Turn at a swim-off.
But it’s even faster than it was back then...and this beauty..! What kind of training have you done..Chitan..!
Selen
Look! The water!!
Argon
Oioioi~~! In the center of Chitan, the water is splitting in half~~~??
Orion
I see! It’s Chitan’s horn!!
Selen
The horn? Does the horn have any secrets..? Perhaps it suppresses the water resistance?
Orion
No it’s different..It’s not as easy as mere suppression of the water. This guy’s horn is..
Controlling the water!!!!
---
Selen
Stop! T-this time is..that’s a-amazing..! This is..it’s a world record..!? Not too shabby, Chitan!
Hmpf... As of today this must be the first time I felt that I genuinely hate you, Chitan! At the tournament I will surpass your brightness. At all cost!
Chitan
With my free style I will make the world spin..! This time as well, the tournament’s victory will be ours!
Notes
*Breaking balls are called Miracle balls or Makyuu/魔球 (literally diabolical ball) in Japan. A breaking ball is defined as unhittable pitch which does not come to the batter in a straight line.

Yaginupan
Fufufu~n~
Ochi the Duck
You’re in a pretty good mood today, Yaginupan.
Yaginupan
Yep~ After all, it’s the fireworks today. I have been really looking forward to it, that’s why.
Taipeko
Didn’t they say watching the fireworks from an inn room at the river side makes a superb scenery~?
Shimiswans
Ah that’s right! Since this inn offers a great scenery, making a reservation at the inn was extremely difficult but..
Luckily I was able to get a reservation! Feel free to thank me more, guys~! 433
Taipeko
Ahh I’m really looking forward to the fireworks~.
Ochi the Duck
Let’s head to the inn soon. We should go by train.
Shimiswans
...Guys! Don’t leave me out!
---
Yaginupan
...Huh? It seems the train has stopped? What happened?
Taipeko
I overheard them saying that~ somehow seaweed is covering the tracks which has caused panic~..
I also asked the station attendant if the buses or any trains are moving but...
Yaginupan
This means..We can’t see the fireworks..? ..What a pity...
Ochi the Duck
Yaginupan...
Taipeko
Ah that’s right. Wasn’t Shimiswans the kinda type to eat his Miso soup with seaweed?
Ochi the Duck
That’s right. If he ate the track’s seaweed the train can move again right?
Shimiswans
Don’t you think eating this much is a little impossible?! Besides, eating seaweed that dropped on the tracks might ruin my stomach!
Yaginupan
That’s too bad but..shall we head back? I wanted to see the fireworks though...
Shimiswans
..No! Don’t give up, Yaginupan!
Taipeko
Oh! Could it be, that you made up your mind about eating the seaweed? Should I prepare the miso soup?
Shimiswans
Gosh no! We are migrating birds! In other words..we can simply fly to the inn!
Ochi the Duck
I see..this way we can actually avoid the seaweed and go to the inn.
Yaginupan
That’s it! Alright, let’s quickly head out then~ Fuwawa..
Shimiswans
Ahh! Spread out your magnificent wings and to the inn, we go! 43434343!
---
Ochi the Duck
Come to think of it..it’s been a while since we four flew together in the sky..
Taipeko
That’s right~ This reminds me of the time we migrated from Porossatsu to MIDICITY~
Shimiswans
Meanwhile, I will properly practice my poses in advance! 434343!
Yaginupan
Shimiswans-san...Isn’t it tiring to do weird poses while flying?
Shimiswans
They’re not weird! And I’m completely fine! There are fans expecting my usual poses after all!
---
Shimiswans
..Hahh hahh....that’s strange...what’s with this unusual feeling of exhaustion? Could it be that..
Honing the nerves of my wings’ tips while trying to maintain my poses at the same time..was actually reckless...4343
Yaginupan
That’s why I was saying...
Taipeko
..Are you okay, Shimiswans~? Although we are already going at a pretty slow pace...
Ochi the Duck
At this pace we won’t make it to the fireworks though.
Shimiswans
..Damn! Can’t be helped then..leave me here. You three go and see the fireworks please.
Yaginupan
..Oh man.
Ochi the Duck
Yaginupan?
Yaginupan
..Here we go.
Shimiswans
Yaginupan...why are you helping me fly..?
If we do it like this we most likely won’t make it in time for the fireworks, you know?
Yaginupan
If Shimiswans isn’t coming, who’s gonna treat everyone to shaved ice?
Shimiswans
I-I’m just your wallet?!
Ochi the Duck
You’re not being honest, Yaginupan.
Taipeko
The one saying we four should go see the fireworks was Yaginupan~
Shimiswans
I-is that true, Yaginupan?
Yaginupan
....*nods*
Shimiswans
I see..I said something rude. And I apologize for that
Ochi the Duck
Let me help you fly too, Shimiswans.
Taipeko
Me too!
Shimiswans
Everyone..Thank you...! Afterwards I’m gonna treat you guys to some shaved ice! 434343
Yaginupan
I’d prefer if you didn’t move around..
Shimiswans
?! I-I’m sorry..
---
Taipeko
Wow! I can see the inn~!
Ochi the Duck
Just in time for the firework...
*firework sounds*
Shimiswans
Seems like it just started..Although I heard that watching the fireworks from the inn makes a great view...
Yaginupan
...watching the fireworks from up here is also fine~
Taipeko
This is our secret spot~
Ochi the Duck
Yep. With just the four of us, let’s fully enjoy the fireworks!
From the MIDICITYミッドナイトくりすまちゅフェチュ“Midi City midnight christmas fes” 2016 christmas event. This is a gay af ep
Kuwagatatsuya
*sobbing loudly*
Tentoumutsumi
Kuwagatatsuya-san, you don’t seem happy again..did something happen?
Kabutomoaki
I guess it has something to do with “That girl” again. It’s december and yet he’s all gloomy. He’s such a coward.
But this aside, let’s start practice quickly!
Tentoumutsumi
But, unlike usually he seems to be completely burnt out and depressed?
Like this, we can’t do practice can we?
Kabutomoaki
Good grief..Hey, Kuwagatatsuya! What are you so gloomy about?
If there’s a problem I’ll listen! To you and to your problems!
Kuwagatatsuya
Shut up...As if I’m in the mood for practice right now. Buzz off...
Kabutomoaki
Kuwagatatsuya! In such a state you will affect the band’s existence!
As a member of the same band I will not allow neglecting practice! That’s why, tell us the reason for your gloominess!
Tentoumutsumi
Kabutomoaki-san..even at the end of the year he’s so worked up..!
Kuwagatatsuya
Jeez..you’re so persistent. If I only need to talk, I will talk..
This year is almost coming to an end and yet..in the end I couldn’t confess to that girl. I’m such scum, really.
Kabutomoaki & Tentoumutsumi
(I knew it!)
Kuwagatatsuya
We are already third years and if I don’t get to confess to her during this time, we won’t have a shrine date*, or even Valentine dates..
Whenever I think about how my high school life will end without a girlfriend..I...
Tentoumutsumi
This is dangerous, this is definitely dangerous! At this rate Kuwagatatsuya will turn into a dark monster..!**
Kabutomoaki
You stupid idiot--!!!!
*punch*
Kuwagatatsuya
Guha-!! What the heck are you doing, Kabutomoaki!?!
-eh..oh..are you..?
Tentoumutsumi
K-kabutomoaki-san is..crying?!
Kabutomoaki
I’m disappointed in you..Kuwagatatsuya!
“I want to be popular with girls” although you had such dirty motivations, your eyes at that time when you invited me..
They were full of hope!! Despite this!! Your eyes feel now less than a sewer rat’s!
“If I can’t confess I will give up” something as self-absorbed as this, since when have you grown into such a low life rat?!
You’re Dropout Sensei’s soul! It’s you! If you rot, then Dropout Sensei will expire as well!!
Something like this..why won’t you understand..my frustration..!!
Kuwagatatsuya
...Kabutomoaki...
Tentoumutsumi
Kabutomoaki-san..Ah that’s right!
I just came up with a great idea!
How about we have a christmas party?! At my house!
Kuwagatatsuya
Did you say party?
Tentoumutsumi
Ah yes! While we are partying, let’s remember all the great feelings we had when we formed the band!
Kabutomoaki & Kuwagatatsuya
....
Kuwagatatsuya
Oi, Kabutomoaki.
Kabutomoaki
....
Kuwatatsuya
Your punch woke me up so about that...how do I say..thanks.
Kabutomoaki
....Pff, for god’s sake, you’re such a troublesome guy, really.
Tentoumutsumi
Hm? Do I smell reconciliation? You two are sooo simple~
*jingle sounds*
Kuwagatatsuya
Bell sounds...from where..?
Kabutomoaki
It’s coming from the sky, I guess. Look up.
Tentoumutsumi
Waaah~! Santa-san! It’s Santa-san!
Kabutomoaki
We will definitely get presents this year.
Kuwagatatsuya
A-awesome! That’s awesome! Santa!!
Kabutomoaki
Even when we had this silly fight, Santa is still...
Tentoumutsumi
He’s giving out gifts to the small kids in town..that’s pretty awesome!
Kuwagatatsuya
Let’s do that party!! Our christmas party!!
Kabutomoaki
Heh, I agree!!
Tentoumutsumi
That’s great! I bought a new game recently, let’s go to my place quickly!
Kuwagatatsuya
Ohh! Let’s party all night until morning!!

notes
*by shrine dates Tatsuya means Hatsumōde, the first visit to a shrine at the beginning of the year
**I’m not sure how familiar people are with the dark monster lore but at least in the Anime the characters turned into corrupted monsters when their (music) souls were filled with negative emotions or doubt so that’s what Tentoumutsumi means.
From the 2017 Valentine’s Day event 恋栖流川メイピュー♥のドゥリ～ム♥ヴァレンタイン大作戦 みんなの恋をキャッチ＆リリース “Maple’s dream Valentine strategy! Let’s catch and release everyone’s love~”
Don’t be fooled though this has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. It’s not even Tomoaki running
Kuwagatatsuya
For this year’s Valentine’s day I wanna get choco from that girl!!!
Kabutomoaki
So sudden. This means you have some kind of plan right?
Kuwagatatsuya
Listen, dumbass! This year at the MIDICITY Marathon I will participate and win!
Then surely, that girl will notice me and I will get choco...!
Tentoumutsumi
Ohh~ Kuwagatatsuya-san has such a positive attitude this time~!
Kabutomoaki
Good grief, you always say whatever is on your mind...If you don’t train everyday for the marathon you won’t even make it to the finish line!
Kuwagatatsuya
That’s why during winter break I have been running laps early in the morning to train! Just look at this triceps!
Kabutomoaki
What the?! ..Sportsmanship! That’s such wonderful sportsmanship! Kuwagatatsuya!
We will support you with everything we have! Only you!!
Tentoumutsumi
Although it’s so cold outside you two are so fired up...~~
Kuwagatatsuya
Ou! Let’s have a marathon relay right away!!
---
A few days later...
Tentoumutsumi
I’m so sorry....To think it would come to this..
Kuwagatatsuya
I had no idea..that in order to join the marathon you had to enter a lottery...dammit..
Kabutomoaki
Among us the only one who won at the lottery is Tentoumutsumi.
Tentoumutsumi
I’m so sorry..On behalf of you two who didn’t win I will give my best! I’ll give my best running!
Kuwagatatsuya
Ain’t that obvious?! If you don’t win you better pay for this! Show ‘em, Tentoumutsumi!
Kabutomoaki
We will go all out supporting you! Overcome yourself! Tentoumutsumi!
Tentoumutsumi
Of course!! If I actually do this winning should be my goal!!
---
Kabutomoaki
To think you actually won. That was splendid, Tentoumutsumi!
Tentoumutsumi
Thank you so much! It’s only thanks to you two’s support!
Kabutomoaki
During the early stage to the middle stage there were moments when you seemed anxious.
But at the last stage, that wrap up with the Tentoudash was truly beautiful! I was so moved by it!
Tentoumutsumi
Hehe..along the way there was a lot going on in my head.. When I snapped out of it I could only hear you two’s voices..
Don’t lose, do your best, show everyone that you’re a man...!
Kabutomoaki
Heh, that’s a great feeling. Being able to watch over our kouhai’s growth so closely!
Kuwagatatsuya, don’t be so quiet and say something too!
Kuwagatatsuya
..Ahh amazing. To think you won..you’re pretty amazing, Tentoumutsumi.
That girl’s perfect partner totally gotta be someone like you. Not someone like me...I even failed the lottery..
Tentoumutsumi
Kuwagatatsuya-san became depressed again hm..
Kabutomoaki
Good grief, such a troublesome guy. Oi, Kuwagatatsuya!
You can’t even be sure whether that girl has seen the marathon or not!
Since you can’t know whether she has seen it or not there’s nothing to get upset at! This isn’t like you!
Next month in MIDI, there’s going to be a sponsored White Day live show! Shouldn’t we be concentrating on practice at the moment?!
Kuwagatatsuya
White Day...?
Tentoumutsumi
Isn’t that great? Everyone from the nearby girls school will definitely come! And so..
Kuwagatatsuya
That girl will also come?
Kabutomoaki
Exactly!! Alright, let’s get to practice! Right now!
Kuwagatatsuya
Oh yeah!! Let’s do it!! Practice!!
Marathon is cool and all but in the end being in a band with us three is the best! Let’s have a race to school!!
