Que Kim Youngjae era um garoto energético e alegre não era novidade para ninguém, portanto não tinha como negar uma festa e inclusive arrastar consigo os seus amigos mais tímidos. Quando pensou na sua lista extensa de amigos mais recatados a primeira pessoa que veio à sua mente foi Rei Shimizu, a lufana com quem o moreno havia simpatizado e inclusive havia achado fofa desde o primeiro momento que trocaram algumas palavras e acabaram formando uma amizade. Ele queria que a garota aproveitasse mais a vida e se soltasse mais um pouco, então não se sentiu um ruim amigo quando quase arrastou a garota pelos cabelos para aquela festa que a mesma não queria estar.
-- “Veja bem, vai ter um monte de garotos bonitos então já vale a pena nem que seja para lavar as vistas por que em Hogwarts só tem demónios mesmo.” -- ele tagarelava enquanto puxava a amiga para dentro da balada trouxa situada numa das ruas de Londres. Em questão de dois dias ambos voltariam para Hogwarts, então tudo o que o grifano queria era aproveitar o seu último dia de férias de Natal na companhia da amiga que havia ido encontrado-se com ele inocentemente, nem imaginando que seria arrastada pelo mais velho para uma balada trouxa. -- “Só fica perto de mim e se alguém tentar fazer algo com você me avisa que eu enfio a cabeça deles no vaso sanitário.” -- falou bem sério para deixar claro que não estava brincando e que era capaz de fazer isso e muito mais, afinal ele era muito protetor com as pessoas que gostava.
1. First impression: recatada mas amigável2. Truth is: ela se solta um pouco mais depois de conhecer a pessoa3. How old do you look: a idade que tem 4. Have you ever made me laugh: sim5. Have you ever made me mad: não e acho que isso é meio impossível6. Best feature: delicadeza7. Have I ever had a crush on you: tenho um crush nela num universo paralelo onde gosto de mulheres, sim8. You’re my: professora do feitiço do patrono
(It’s been decided that UNDEAD will be doing a butler cafe, so they head to the Tea Club to acquire refreshments to serve to the guests. Meanwhile, Ritsu was generous enough to donate desserts, but uh... Remember the Sweets Gacha Story from a while back?)
[Location: Hallway 2F]
Koga: Gahhhh! A butler cafe?! What the hell?! If you want me to wait on you, try asking that after you beat me in a battle of rock, dammit!
Goddammit, I’m so pissed right now~! Adonis, lemme punch you!
Adonis: I refuse.
Koga: What’s that? You’ve got some nerve. Fine, let’s have a Rockin’ Soul match. Got it? Don’t try and run away by saying you don’t know the rules or some shit.
Rei: Come now, Doggie. Even if it is afterschool now, making so much noise in the hallway will only cause problems for the other students.
If you’re going to keep on being noisy, I’ll have you know, I won’t hesitate to leave you here and go on without you?
If you don’t want that to happen, then be a good boy and follow us. You’re only allowed to bark if someone suspicious is nearby.
Barking constantly all the time will only make people think of you as a stupid dog.
Koga: Who’re you calling a stupid dog?! Anyway, what about that ladies’ man?
Rei: You mean Kaoru-kun? He went to go ask someone to make us costumes, so he isn’t here.
Koga: Make us costumes~? Why would we need to do that? Can’t we just buy them from somewhere?
Rei: We’d end up wearing the same thing as the others if we simply bought them from a store.
Besides, Kaoru-kun did tell me, “Just leave the costume-making to me. I have a good alternative….♪”
He was the one who came up with this idea, after all, so I’m afraid I don’t have much say here.
Adonis: I wonder who Hakaze-senpai plans on asking?
Rei: I wonder, as well. I have a feeling I know who it might be, but…. I can’t say for certain. We’ve nothing to do but wait for Kaoru-kun to report back.
More importantly, we have our own business to attend to.
Adonis: Since our “booth” is going to be a butler cafe, I heard we need desserts and refreshments.
Koga: So why do we have to go all the way to the “Tea Club” just for that?! They should just come to us! What a pain~
Rei: Doggie, unless you show some sincerity, you won’t be able to get cooperation from others.
By going to the “Tea Club” like this, and as long as the club president, Tenshouin-kun, doesn’t turn us down, we’ll be able to obtain some delicious tea leaves.
And fortunately, Ritsu already provided us with the desserts, so that leaves us one thing less to worry about.
Koga: Desserts~?
Adonis: Now that you mention it, I do remember there being a contest looking for dessert ideas. I was also interested, so I checked it out as well.
Koga: You, interested in desserts~? You don’t look at all like the type that’d like desserts.
Adonis: I am told that a lot. However, I do not mind. You won’t become big and strong by only judging people by their appearances.
It is the height of stupidity to judge someone without knowing what they are like on the inside.
Rei: Well said. Doggie, you could learn a thing or two from him.
Koga: Shut up~! Mind your own business!
Rei: Honestly…. Sometimes I really do wish you could be a bit more like Adonis-kun.
In any case, it would seem that Ritsu took the grand prize in the dessert contest with flying colors.
When I explained to him our situation, he gladly offered us the dessert he had made.
However, I do feel a bit suspicious of the fact that Ritsu, of all people, listened to my request so yieldingly.
After all, Ritsu and I don’t exactly get along, to put it lightly…. Although, it’s not as if we are constantly at each other’s throats, either. It’s a rather complicated relationship.
Koga: Oh, yeah? So where’s that dessert, anyway?
Rei: Yes, about that…. I believe it would be quicker to see it with your own eyes rather than to hear me explain it with words.
This is the dessert that I received from Ritsu.
Koga: ?! What the hell is this?! No way this crappy-looking thing got first place!
Adonis: I have eaten a variety of different things back in my homeland, but it is also my first time seeing a dessert that looks this strange.
Is this…. safe to eat?
Rei: According to the young miss, the transfer student, “If you eat it with your eyes closed, it’s very delicious.”
When I tried tasting it with my eyes closed, it was just as the young miss said.
The taste alone is certainly enough to take first place.
Koga: Are you kidding? No matter how good it tastes, there’s no point if it looks like this.
We’re gonna serve this in the butler cafe, right? Everyone’s gonna run away seeing how nasty it looks.
Rei: Even so, there’s no denying that this is the “speciality” of Yumenosaki Academy. If we just wrap it nicely on the outside to hide what it looks like, it’s certain to work out.
Adonis: So this is what they mean by sweeping something under the rug. I see. That is also one way to handle the situation.
Rei: Precisely. Look, it seems that we’ve already arrived at our destination while we were busy having a nice chat….♪
(Rei calls together the members of his unit to discuss something. Kaoru is absent because he has other more important matters to attend to, apparently, and UNDEAD’s mad dog is already kicking up a fuss again.)
[Location: Light Music Club Room]
Rei: Doggie, Adonis-kun, I’m glad that you two could make it.
Adonis: All I did was answer the call to assembly.
Rei: Even so, I must express my gratitude. I asked Kaoru-kun to come as well, but unfortunately, he wasn’t as enthusiastic about it.
He just texted me a moment with, “I have a date, so I’ll pass.”
It gives me headaches how he’s always placing his dates before his promises with us….
But no matter how many times I try to talk to him about it, it’s just like preaching to deaf ears. In fact, he might grow so tired of hearing my complaints that he’ll stop showing up for practices, as well.
Rei: But thankfully, you’re such a good boy, Doggie. Come, come, let me praise you….♪
Koga: Bastard, I’ll kill you~! And I keep telling’ you again and again, I’m not a damn dog! If you tryin’ to pick a fight, then bring it on!
Rei: You shouldn’t yap so much like that. Perhaps it would be a good idea to retrain you on this. Come here, Doggie. Come and take the ball….♪
Koga: I’m tellin’ ya! I’m not a dog, alright?! I’m seriously gonna kill you, dammit~!!
Adonis: Calm down, Oogami. As long as you keep from lashing out at him, Sakuma-senpai won’t have any reason to react.
Koga: Shut the hell up! How am I supposed to keep quiet when he keeps calling me “Doggie” all the time!
Adonis: ….I see. In that case, it would be best for you to take a hearty beating. Become aware of your weaknesses. And then, someday, you will also be able to grow “bigger”.
Koga: What the hell, Adonis?! Are you makin’ fun of me too?! Fine, let’s take this outside then! Come on, I’m ready to take you on any time!
Rei: There, there, doggie. No need to bite everyone you come across. I didn’t bring you all here so you could pick fights with each other.
Koga: It’s your own fault for taking so long to get to the damn point!
Rei: I understand that, so no need to shout in my ear. But Doggie /does have a point.
It’s nearly time for the “School Festival,” isn’t it? That’s what I would like to discuss with all of you.
Koga: “School Festival”~?
Rei: What, didn’t you know? Come to think of it, you didn’t participate last year, did you, Doggie?
Koga: It’s ‘cause I don’t care about some dumb festival. I’d rather sleep than take part in that kind of noisy event.
Rei: That uncooperativeness of yours makes you just like Kaoru-kun. How troubling.
However, in the idol course, “booths” are organized by units, rather than by class.
So I’ll make sure you participate this year, Doggie.
If you still refuse, I’ll have no choice but to ask Adonis-kun for help. I’ll be relying on you if that need arises, Adonis-kun.
Adonis: Understood. Even if I need to tie him up with rope, I’ll make sure to bring Oogami to you, Senpai.
Koga: Then I’ll just bite through the rope and escape! Because I’m a noble wolf!
If you think you can get me to do what you want just by tyin’ a rope ‘round my neck, big mistake!
Rei: You sure are vigorous, Doggie. However, I’m still going to make sure you participate this year, no matter what it takes. The same goes for Kaoru-kun, of course.
Koga: It’s just the “School Festival”. You don’t need to get so worked up over it, do ya?
Rei: Oh, but there /is a need to. As to why…. Let’s see. I’ll explain it all once Kaoru-kun joins us, as well.
We shall leave it at that for today. My apologies for taking up your time, you two.
Since the spotlights inside the tent haven’t come on yet, it’s dark and rather comforting in here….♪
I was afraid that I was going to be done in by that dry weather outside. The long-awaited day of the “circus” nearly turned into my funeral, instead.
Koga: Ughh~.... Ughhh~....
Rei: Why, doggie, you’re whimpering like a poor dog that hasn’t been given anything to eat, how depressing. Do you need to pee?
Koga: Shut the hell up. I’m annoyed ‘cause I keep bumping into someone every step I take. Why the hell is it so crowded in here?
Rei: It’s most likely due to the fact that the star of the show is Yumenosaki Academy’s top idol group, “fine”. Especially with all the promotion and publicity that they’ve done.
I’d like our unit to hold a concert on a stage like this someday, as well. Though, if possible, I’d rather it were somewhere darker, such as underground or in a cave….♪
Doggie, with it being so difficult to find proper footing, on top of it being so crowded, you should take hold of the young miss’ hand to make sure she doesn’t stumble.
Koga: Haah? That’s such a pain, but I guess you got a point. ….Here, grab my hand.
Rei: Kukuku. Our doggie is so obedient whenever the young miss is involved. Tell me, how did you ever manage to tame “UNDEAD’s” mad dog?
Makoto: O-Oogami-kun! Hold my hand, too! My glasses slipped after bumping into someone, so I can’t see that well right now!
Koga: Haah? I’m not interested in holding hands with another guy, geez. And you still call yourself a member of the same “Trickstar” that beat “fine” that one time?
How pathetic. If “fine” lost to a bunch of losers like you, they must not be as great as everyone says they are, huh?
Rei: Now then. With Eichi Tenshouin completely recovered, has the “fine” I’m so familiar with become even mightier than before?
Let’s decide through this “circus” whether they truly are powerful, or simply “imposters”. We’ll just have to wait and see~ How splendid♪
Hm, here looks like good place to sit. Ahh, finally, I can relax. Young miss, could you make us some tea….?
Koga: Quit being so calm. Geez, you’re not tense at all, are ya?
Rei: You’re just too on edge, doggie. How long do you plan on holding the young miss’ hand like that….?
We should take the opportunity graciously enjoy the show to the fullest. As long as there aren’t any incidents, that is….♪
Makoto: Heh, this is so exciting! Did all these people come here just to see “fine”? That’s pretty amazing!
Since we spent so much time chatting earlier, the show’s already about to start~ I wonder if Isara-kun’s going to make it back in time….
It looks like something really happened…. Depending on what it is, maybe we’d better lend a hand, too.
My heart would probably break if I had to watch “fine’s” flawless performance, anyway. It’d probably be best if I just took my eyes off the show for a bit~♪
Koga: Hey, if you’re a man, don’t run away. And don’t avert your eyes either, weakling. Even the transfer student’s got it more together than you.
Makoto: Ahaha, but transfer student-chan’s always this calm….
“¡Rei! ¿Puedes esperar un momento?, no puedo correr tan rápido como tu”
habló con un tono agitado en su voz, ya estaba muy cansada y no podía seguirle los pasos a su one-sama. Además Rei era mucho más fuerte que ella y su mal estado de salud, a pesar de ya haber pasado por lo peor aun no era tan fuerte como las demás, necesitaba un poco de espera frente a cualquier situación de agotamiento.
