Hmhmhm~ Hmhmhmmm~♪ (Humming)

You’re in a good mood, Morisawa-kun~ Did something nice happen to you?

Fuhahaha! I’m glad you asked, Hakaze!

No, no, you clearly looked like you were waiting for someone to ask. It was practically impossible to ignore.

Mm! My bad! You see, my favorite tokusatsu show is getting a movie adaptation!

I wanted to share this wonderful news with someone, so I ended up humming for attention!

Mm~… Isn't it best to share that kinda stuff with someone who also likes tokusatsu? I don’t have any interest in it, y’know~?

True, I could’ve, but I really couldn’t hold back my urge to tell someone straight away!

Hakaze, if anything nice happens to you too, feel free to tell me all about it! Even if I don’t know anything about the topic, I’ll be happy about it with you…☆

Ahaha~ Thanks. I think it’s nice that you’re that type of person, yeah~

Ooh! Thank you! Let’s get along some more, Hakaze! We’ll watch the movie together once it comes out!

Yeah, no thanks. No way I’ll ever go to a movie with a guy~♪

With Tetora

Location: Park

The red flame is the mark of justice! The sun of life, burning bright red! Ryusei Red! Morisawa Chiaki…!

You say yours too, Nagumo! …Ah! Did you forget it by any chance? Alright then, I’ll say it right now, so make sure to remember it!

The black flame is the mark of effort! The burning fighting spirit, stained with mud! Ryusei Black! Nagumo Tetora…!

Umm… Taichou? Sorry for askin’ while you’re at hyper-max excitement, but… Couldja tell me why you called us to the park?

You told us to come over here after class, but I only see the two of us in this park…

Mhm, I’ve honestly got no clue where Kanata is, but Sengoku said he’d come, so he should be here soon.

As for the reason I called you all here… It’s so that we could perform a hero show. And also to practice our catchphrases!

Ahh, right, you want us to gather a crowd of kids again. But before I came here, Midori-kun told me somethin’ during class…

He said he won’t be able to come 'cuz he has to work at his family’s greengrocer.

Hold on, I wasn’t informed about this…? But this means that me, you, and Sengoku are the only ones who’ll perform…

Well, no matter. Hardships are an inevitability for heroes! By overcoming them, you become qualified to call yourself one!

Oh! Here comes Sengoku. And the children are here, too. Now that we have our guests, we should start our hero show!

With Shu

Location: Handicrafts Clubroom

Itsuki, are you in here…!?

Non! Knock before you come in!

Sorry, sorry. The thing is, I've been looking for you because I have something to ask of you.

Something to ask of me…? Hmph, this isn’t going to be something frivolous, is it?

No, see… One of the Ryuseitai uniforms has started to come apart. Could you fix it for me, please?

I heard your uniforms were made by Kiryu. Shouldn’t you ask him, instead?

I’d love to, but… He wasn’t in the dojo, nor in his classroom… I think he’s gone home.

We have a hero show planned for tomorrow, so I need it fixed as soon as possible…

I’ll pay you, of course. I know I’m asking for a lot, but could you fix it by today? Please! I’m begging you!

Raise your head. You’ll likely remain here until I say yes, and that would cause me far more trouble. I will agree only this once.

Ohh, you’ll do it!? Thank you, Itsuki! It’s so wonderful to have such generous classmates! ♪

With Midori

Location: Classroom 1-A

Takamine-kun, let’s go to the club!

Huh…? Um, sorry, may I ask who you are…?

What!? Did you forget who I am, Takamine!? I’m the burning heart Morisawa Chiaki! I’m Ryuseitai’s leader, and the captain of the Basketball Club! ☆

Ah—So it really was Morisawa-senpai… Ughh~ It’s all ‘cause you called me by “Takamine-kun” out of nowhere… It’s kinda creepy…

Like, what happened to you…? Did you hit your head or something…?

Heh, you see, you always say how you hate suffocating things!1

So I thought you may feel otherwise if I tried to be invigorating instead!2

And so! Takamine-kun! Let’s go to the club! Let's shed the sweat of youth…☆

Ughh… You’re still coming right up into my personal space, so nothing’s actually changed, y’know…?

Huh!? It didn’t work!? Mmm~, it’s hard for me to be the invigorating type!

Nevertheless! We’ve got Basketball Club activities today, so come join us, Takamine!

Ugh~… You’ll drag me along with you even if I say it’s a pain, won’t you…?

Meh, fine… I don’t have any work at my family’s greengrocer today, and I have the time to spare…

Ohh!? Really!? I’m so happy to hear that, Takamine~♪

Alright! This is a great time to invite Akehoshi and the others over, as well! Fuhahahaha! ☆

With Kanata

Location: Fountain

Hmhmhmm…♪ (Humming)

fufufu…♪ fufufufufu…♪

Woah—!? You surprised me! Are you soaking in the fountain again, Kanata?

yes~ water is my [life force], after all.

would you like to join me, chiaki? the water is so cold and nice~♪

I'm reading a book right now, so I'd rather refrain from doing so.

[book]…? what kind of [book] are you reading?

Ohh!? Are you interested too, Kanata!? It's a book that features every sentai hero in history! It's a precious treasure of mine~♪

mm~ i am not interested.

Why not!? Were we not comrades who share the same goal!? I believe in you, Kanata! I'm sure there's a part of you deep inside that admires heroes!

i do not really know what to say to that, you know… since i still do not understand heroes that well.

but, i want to learn more about them. chiaki, could you read that [book] for me, please?

I don't mind, but I may as well lend it to you. It's my own copy, so you can return it to me anytime!

um… [books] get [drenched wet] whenever i read them, so…

i do not want to [ruin] your precious [book]. please do read it for me instead, chiaki.

Ohh, right, since you're always soaked with water… Very well then, I'll read it out loud to you!

Alright, let's have a fun reading session together~! Fuhahahahaha…!! ☆

With Keito

Location: Classroom 3-A

Bam! The hero has arrived…☆

Heh! Fear not, for I am here! I'll defeat all the evil in one swipe…☆

…What on earth are you doing, Morisawa.

Woah, Hasumi—!? Since when were you behind me…?

I was never once behind you, you were simply messing around in front of the classroom door.

Anyway, what were you doing?

Mm, do you know about the toku broadcasted on Sunday mornings? I was re-enacting the scene when the ally of justice arrives!

Toku…? Ahh, you mean the hero series, huh. Yeah, I've watched one before.

Eh—Really!? Are you interested in hero series by any chance!?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I just happened to come across an episode one day when I turned the TV on.

Although, I do think it's pretty excellent for a children's show.

I forgot which series this was, but… I remember an episode where someone close to the protagonist fell ill to a chronic disease, and he had the opportunity to save them if he joined sides with the villains.

His close friend helped him time and time again, so he wanted to save them at any cost, but he knew they wouldn't forgive him for tainting his own hands for their sake.

In the end, after agonizing over what to do, he chose to remain an ally of justice… I found that story very moving.

Ohh, I know that one! I've watched it plenty of times myself!

Wow, so you watched it too, Hasumi? I'm so happy~! We still have time before class starts, so let's talk about it a little more!

Ahhh, today's off to a wonderful start…☆

Chiaki's Other Management Story Appearances

Translation Notes

  1. Chiaki is the hot-blooded type (known as nekketsu-kei 熱血系); people who are overly passionate and zealous about everything. These types of people tend to be called atsukurushii (translated as “suffocating” here) for being so enthusiastic that it can feel stuffy/suffocating.
  2. This management story is implied to happen at a very early time in the school year, and Chiaki is trying to use “-kun” honorific (instead of his usual way of referring to someone) to be “invigorating”. As the word implies, invigorating people tend to feel refreshing through their bright energy.
