[ES!! Era Year 2] Mega Stream Arc – Mainstream Megasphere (Ryuseitai Scene ONLY!)
Translation of Ryuseitai’s scene from the Mega Stream main story Mainstream Megasphere. Chapter: Possibility of Scattering 4
Note: This is a partial translation of the main story Mainstream Megasphere.
Story Context
This story is set right after the epilogue of sometime after Dynamic Diamond, which was set in the 4th week of July.
Before this chapter, Anzu ran away crying after Hokuto insisted that she chooses him for the next showdown. Hokuto discusses with Trickstar what had happened, and eventually decide to meet with Anzu.
That’s when they discover that Anzu is nowhere to be found, and Eichi informs them that she had resigned from her job and went back to the ground. News of her disappearance then spreads fast among the ES idols.
Possibility of Scattering 4
Season: Summer (ES 2nd Year)
—And that is what had happened.
I see. …Thank you for looking into it for us, Sengoku.
so anzu-san returned back to the [ground]…
…Now that I think about it, Anzu seemed to have a lot more worries on her mind ever since we came to Mega Sphere.
(When Neo-Six of Song had all that chaos happening, I thought she was just panicking over Ayase-senpai…)1
(But was this constantly weighing on her mind back then, too…?)
It had to have been the showdown against MELLOW DEAR US. As the producer, she might have felt responsibility for the ES idols’ loss.
…No, I shouldn’t just assume what Anzu is feeling however I like.
The one thing for sure is that Anzu-anego had a lot weighin’ on her mind.2
I’m so pathetic. How did I never notice that Anego was sufferin’…
…It’s understandable that you hadn’t noticed.
Anzu-dono is always such a reliable figure. …We never once could’ve imagined she’d disappear from Mega Sphere.
Yeah. We had all relied on her so much that the possibility never once popped into our heads.
That just goes to show how much trust she gained from us. …I’m another person who’s been saved multiple times by Anzu.
yes, chiaki used to trouble anzu-san a lot in the past~
Are you referring to when he requested her to re-write a project proposal from scratch?3
There was also a time when he collapsed from a whole buncha burdens he put on himself, and then got nursed back to health by her, right?4
…You should seriously apologize to her at least once, Morisawa-senpai.
W-Why’re you all talking about my side only!? She’s looked after you guys plenty of times too, hasn’t she!?
…Yeah. I feel like I used to rely on Anzu-anego over every single thing when we first became part of Ryuseitai.
Mm, indeed. And in fact, it is because she has been here with us that we have been able to perform various activities, as we are now.
Yeah, true. …I also owe her a lot for making me so many different kinds of yuruchara.5
Ah, another story about the olden days? …Hold on, Midori-kun. That’s what you remember?
Ehh, what else was I supposed to mention…
i am very earnest, so i have never caused her [trouble].
if anything, i would always thank her for her constant hard work with “good girl, good girl”~♪6
…I was already aware of this, but we really have relied on her time and time again, haven’t we?
This is so pathetic, realizing how precious she was only after she disappears.
If only I had just kept my eyes on her for a little more, maybe then…
Here he goes again, this guy…
The same goes for the rest of us; we all didn’t realize in time, Morisawa-dono.
Yeah. …I’m aware.
But as Nagumo said… As someone who calls himself a hero, it frustrates me that I never once noticed she was suffering.
…………
UGAAAH~!! I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
What’s wrong, Tetora-kun!? Why did you suddenly yell so loudly…?
It just ain’t me to sit here and talk ‘bout this stuff!
I’m gonna look for Anzu-anego!
Look for her…? But Anzu-san isn’t in Mega Sphere anymore, right?
From what Shinobu-kun heard, it sounds like all her personal belongings aren’t in the Producer Room anymore, either…
Isara-dono and the others said they tried searching for Anzu-dono in Mega Sphere, but could not find her.
It’s a different story if we could follow her trail and search for her on land, but…
We’re all locked up in Mega Sphere in a sense. It won’t be easy to get ourselves a way to leave here.7
Exactly, so where do you even plan to go searching for her?
…I know.
I know all’a that!
But I can’t stand the thought of just cowerin’ back and mopin’ around here!
…Nagumo.
Besides, how are we even sure that Anzu-anego went back down!?
Did anyone see her leave? She might actually be hidin’ somewhere in Mega Sphere all along, you never know!
Isara-senpai and the others may have looked for her, but they didn’t check every corner of Mega Sphere, did they?
You… may be right there, but…
…ufufu. i [agree] with tetora.
we may be surprised to find out that anzu-san is just playing [hide-and-seek]~♪
she might be waiting for us to find her even now.
Shinkai-senpai…!
…………
…Yeah. Nagumo and Kanata are right.
Morisawa-senpai? Don’t tell me you too—
Aaalright! Ryuseitai will now commence operation: Search for the missing Anzu!
Ossu! That’s way more like Ryuseitai, alright~♪
Aight then, I’mma search the sports field!
I’ll try searching every corner of Mega Sphere Tower! Kanata, I’m entrusting you with the Passage Arcade!8
got it~♪
Then I shall ask the staff members!
They may know something about her whereabouts.
Ehhh? Are you all serious…?
Yeah, dead serious! Come on Midori-kun, you’re joinin’ us!
Uuu, don’t pull me by my arm…
With how you guys are now, I bet you wouldn’t stop even if I objected, would you… I’ll give in and help out, I guess.
……I’m also worried about Anzu-san, anyway.
Ha-ha-ha! ♪ You aren’t honest as always, Takamine! ☆
Then let’s go! Ryuseitai, ready for action~!
Nearly an hour later. In a corridor in Mega Sphere Tower…
(Mm~… Anzu-anego wasn’t anywhere around the sports field…)
(Morisawa-senpai and Shinkai-senpai messaged me about their progress, but it looks like she wasn’t there either.)
(All that’s left is Shinobu-kun and Midori-kun, but… At this rate…)
…………
No! It’s too early to lose heart, Nagumo Tetora!
You can’t give up just yet! I’m not givin’ up here while there isn’t any concrete proof that Anego went back down to the ground~!
…Yes, I’m aware.
…? That voice…
No, you don’t need to back me up. I am the cause of why Anzu-chan disappeared.
(Nice-P seems to be on his phone…?)
(And he’s talkin’ about Anzu-anego, I think…)
I thought if it’s her, she would be able to overcome this obstacle and show me a scenery I’ve never seen before.
Those expectations must have become a heavy burden on her inside.
Of course, I had kept in mind her feelings and responsibility. But even then, I thought that as long as it’s her…
No. Excuses will not change the fact that she left this place.
Right now, I simply have to fulfill my responsibility as the one who pulled the trigger.
…Yes. I will prioritize holding the ‘Mainstream Megasphere’ event as I had planned. And for that…
—I will summon a new producer from the ground.
……!
(Summon!? Did he just say summon!? That means he’ll call for someone to replace Anego, right…!?)
(This is seriously bad…!)
Possibility of Scattering 5
In this chapter, Akatsuki are discussing Anzu’s disappearance and their worry, when the door bell rings.
The door bell rings
—Mm? Hold on. Looks like someone’s comin’ in.
Ossu, Taishou! Hasumi-senpai and the others, as well!
Ah, Tetsu? What’re you so panicked?
Umm, have you seen Ryuseitai anywhere!?
The members of Ryuseitai, is it? I believe I caught sight of Sengoku and Takamine together a while earlier…
Did something happen to them?
No, nothin’ like that…
However, you seem to be in a panic. That must mean you could not contact them through your ‘su-mart pho-ne’, correct?
Smart phone…?
AAAAAAH~!! I could’ve just done that!!
You didn’t realize that?
Haha… I was so shocked that I completely forgot.
Good grief, you gave us a scare for nothing…
But there’s no doubt that something had happened for him to panic that much, right~?
You’re right about that. …Oi, Tetsu. The hell happened?
Ermm, the truth is…
