Chapter 1
Commentator: 『We’ve got just a little left in our spring-themed Easter League!』
『Those lucky guests with tickets to the Hero Meet & Greet, please hurry on up to the stage now』
Junior’s Fan: Junior-onii-chan, please keep doing your best!
Junior: Ushishi, you came again!
Junior’s Fan: Yeah!
Keith: Phew, the Meet & Greet’s just about done. It ain’t easy havin’ to stay all stiff and proper in front of the fans
Faith: Oh yeah? You weren’t “stiff and proper” at all though
Dino: That's totally fine for Keith, though. His fans expect it ♪
Keith: Shut it. I’m tryna be a little more presentable than usual
Faith: Really?
Keith: ….Trying
Junior: Huh, that’s weird….
Dino: What’s up, Junior? You’re staring out into the audience pretty hard
Junior: Nii-chan said he'd come to watch the Easter League, but he's not here.....
Faith: That doting Onii-san didn't show?
Junior: What do you mean "doting". Lately, he keeps telling me he's got time to hang out, and then cancels at the last minute 'cause he's suddenly gotta work
Dino: Alright, just leave it to me! I'll search the crowd and find out for sure whether he's here or not!
Junior: You're definitely not gonna find him, with the number of people that're here
Dino: Oh! There he is!
Junior: What, seriously!? You’re amazing, Dino!!
Dino: Ah, sorry, he’s over there, actually
Junior: Over there?
Chris: Leo
Junior: Nii-chan ♪
Chris: Sorry I'm late. I've been watching since the beginning, but you seemed really busy so I waited until the end to come down
Junior: You didn't have to wait! You know I'm always super happy to see you ♪
Chris: You shouldn’t say things like that
You’ve got a lot of fans now. They’re the ones you should be saying that sort of thing to now
Faith: I'd expect nothing less from the original bassist from Metamorphose. I'm sure you know all the best ways to keep the fans happy
Chris: F-Faith-kun, that's a secret...?! Especially when there's so many people around....
Faith: Haha, whoops, sorry ♪
Chris: ....But, it's true that that experience means I also understand the kind of pressure Leo's under
People don't just like him because of our father's name anymore. Leo's got plenty of fans of his own now. He should make sure to treat them well
Junior: Hmm, well if Nii-chan says so then totally it must be true
I mean, he was the legendary bassist who retired at the the peak of his popularity— MPHPH!?
Chris: L-like I said, that's a secret! It'll be trouble if someone overhears you and spreads it around
Junior: Pfwahh.... I guess I got a little too excited
Faith: If Billy were around, I'm sure he'd be suuuper happy to get a scoop like that
Chris: Well then, now that I've had my chance to see you, I'd better head home soon
???: What, you're leaving already?
Chris: Huh?
Leonard Wright: Yo, my boys ♪
Junior & Chris: DAD....!?
Keith: Oi oi, what're you doin' here?
Leonard Wright: I came to see my son at his finest hour, of course
Faith: Naturally. Good for you, Ochibi-chan
Junior: Go home!
Leonard Wright: Don't say that～ Aren't you happy Papa came to see you?
Junior: As if that's why you're here! You just came so you could stand on stage, didn't you!!
Leonard Wright: But Chris is also standing up here and that doesn't seem to bother you?
Junior: Nii-chan's different!
Chris: I'm here as a guest. I had a ticket for the hero meet and greet
Leonard Wright: Ah, so that's it....
Dino: Did you buy a regular ticket?
Leonard Wright: .....About that. I was planning to, but as soon as I showed up to the sale desk, they took me straight to the reserved seating
Keith: Well yeah, it's you, course they would
Dino: It'd probably start a riot if you were in the general audience
Leonard Wright: Well, I have been getting more and more cool since my return
Junior: That's still no reason you'd need to come up on stage!
Leonard Wright: That just happens to kill two birds with one stone: I got to surprise you, and it's a little bit of promotion
Junior: Promotion?
