Comet Show – Prologue
Season: Yumenosaki Era, Summer (June)
Location: Lesson Room
One year ago. During practice for Supernova…
You guuuuuys! Do you want to be kaijuuuuuuu!?
…………
Uh, not really…
Do you want to be ooooooone!?
Ah, this is where he’ll keep repeating himself until we respond with an energetic “yes!”, I believe.
So he isn’t actually asking for our opinions… Morisawa-senpai’s always like this…
You over there! No mumbling! If you have time to complain, then stand up against your hardships! Turn all your powah into energy! TRANSFORM!
How is this guy so energetic… So annoying…
Fufu. Without much time left until Supernova, perhaps he’s had to cut down on sleep to practice as much as possible, and so the drowsiness might have made him euphoric instead.
Ahh~, yeah, since you get weirdly hyper when you stay up all night… Is Morisawa-senpai not sleeping much…? Oh yeah, I do feel like his eyes are kind of bloodshot…
It’s easy to get into a hyperactive mood when you stay up all night, right…
(Whispering) He’s literally Ryusei Red.
—…(Found that hilarious)
What’s up, what’s up!? Are you first years sharing a secret amongst yourselves!? You three sure are close buddies!
If that’s how it’s going to be, then us third years will also have our own private conversation! We’ll share the names of our crushes in secret! Right, Kanata!?
—eh? i am sorry, i did not bother to listen.
Mm! I’d have liked it if you had at least said “I wasn’t listening” as an excuse!
Well, no matter! More importantly, Supernova’s performance date is genuinely approaching in no time, so—
You need to get a good hold of how to move about in a kaijuu-like manner!
We play the kaijuu part for the opening stage, so, yeah. I think we need some trainin’.
But how are we meant to act as kaijuu…? I don’t even have an understanding of how to play the usual hero role in the first place, or like, it barely feels right to me…
Worry not! For we, the seniors, will show you exactly how it’s done! Right, Kanata!?
yes! i was not listening~!
Mm! I’m happy for the energetic response, but I’d like you to listen properly!
Just as I thought you were starting to show a little more motivation these days, now you’re acting like this! You little rascal, you~!
yes, well, on a general basis, i do not really have any [motivation]. i do not really know how i am supposed to [interact with] the children, either.
but, supernova is an important [project] to chiaki, right?
if so, then the [feeling] of wanting to [help you] — it is not completely non-existent.
Not completely non-existent!? Does it exist or not!?
Well, no matter! I’m repeating myself, but us seniors will show you exactly how it’s done! Watch and learn, everyone!
Sigh…
UOOOHH! I’m a kaijuu now! Bam, transform…!
Ehhh!? I can’t tell how that’s any different from a hero!
Mm! Come to think of it, I barely know a thing about kaijuus!
Although they’re part of the tokusatsu genre, I’ve always only ever had my eyes on the heroes!
The so-called “kaijuu movies” that only have kaijuu scare m— I mean, never really piqued my interest, so I don’t know anything about them!
And you somehow still had the confidence to say you’d “show us exactly how it’s done”…?
Ahaha, well, faking it ‘til you make it is another way to go ‘bout things. The same goes with tough karate techniques; if I just believe in myself that I can 100% do it, sometimes it actually surprisingly works out.
Yeah! Nagumo said something wonderful just now! That’s what I wanted to say! The important thing here is to never give up! You can do anything as long as you have a fighting spirit…!
I believe in myself! I’ll make sure I succeed in showing how the kaijuu part is done! Come on, Kanata, let’s do it together!
okaaay.
No! We’re kaijuu right now! Kaijuus don’t respond with an “okaaay”, they respond with “roar~!”, and that’s that!
raaaa~wr…♪ (sways left and right)
Cute.
Mhm. So cute…♪
Why!? We’re kaijuu! We’re the embodiment of terror itself! Be terrified out of your wits! Tremble in your boots!
Hang in there, Kanata, you’ve got this! Roar like you hope this whole world falls to ruin!
it would not be a [laughing matter] if i held such [hopes] like that in me, though…?
but, well, i will do my best. because i believe that even if the world was on the verge of [falling to ruin], a hero will come rushing in from nowhere to save the day—
