Meteor Impact – Prologue
Season: Yumenosaki Era, Winter (End of Year)
Location: AV Room
Present day, at the end of the year…
Fuhahaha! Mission accomplished! It’s an incredible victory for Ryuseitai once again…! ☆
yes~♪ this is the Result of everyone’s combined powers! an incredible victory for ryuseitai…!
Kanata…♪ (Offers a handshake)
chiaki…☆ (Hugs him instead)
Fuhahahahaha~! (Both twirl around)
Ughhh… Those two are acting stupidly hyper yet again… This is so depressing, I wanna die…
Ahaha, perhaps their exhaustion has put them in a strangely hyper mood. I heard that they had been cleaning nonstop for the entire day, since this morning.
Ehh? Why the heck would they do something like that…? Are they going to skip town at night or something…?
Actually, hold on! You two were bein’ so reserved about this! We would’ve helped you out if you just told us ‘bout it from the very start, y’know~?
reserved, as in a water reservoir? do you want to Talk about water, tetora…!?
N-No! It’s just a figure of speech!1 Please don’t leap at whatever I say when you’re in that weird hyper mood, Shinkai-senpai~!?
fufufu~ i am a Fish, so i will leap at any Bait within my sight… a fish that takes each and every piece of bait, yes yes~♪
Ahaha. You sound like you’d enjoy fishing a fair amount, Shinkai-senpai.
I used to go fishing for black bass with my dad when I was young, too. We haven’t been doin’ it lately though, ‘cuz of busy schedules.
waah, really? you should have told me earlier, it would have been an exciting Conversation!
Black Basses are not that Tasty, but they are very Fun to fish, aren’t they~? ♪
Umm… This might be a dumb question, but — You call yourself a fish, but you don’t seem to have any problems with catching and eating fish, do you…?
yes, fish are Food after all, so~?
That sounds like cannibalism to me… Uuu~ I just imagined something terribly graphic.
Heeey~! I’d love to chat all night, but it’s dark outside by now. We’ve finished our work, so it’s time we call it a day!
You’ve truly done an excellent job today, everyone!
As a reward for all your hard work, let me embrace each and every one of you…☆
Ah, no need for that, actually.
Ahaha, the season has become very chilly, so while I would love some warmth…
I would much rather you do not make light of us, Taichou-dono. We did not work hard for a reward!
Ohh, I see…♪ My bad, Sengoku! I wasn’t trying to look down on you guys! That’s right, the reason you did this was “all in the name of justice”, right!?
It is not just that. It is as you always say, Taichou-dono — One for all, all for one~♪
Nevertheless, whatever it may be, I’m ecstatic over you guys! Over your growth! And the spirit of justice swirling with flame in your hearts…☆
Ahh, I can’t hold myself back anymore! I need no reason! I just have to embrace all of you right this instant! I’ll start with you, Nagumooo…! ☆
NGYAAH—!! Why me!? Please spare us, Taichou! I’m really tired from the huge cleanup work — I don’t wanna use any more of my energy by playing around~!
No problem, no problem at all! Our youth is our strength! As well as something to never fret about! Fuhahahaha! ☆
Owow, owowowow!? I’d like you to be a li’l more gentle at least! If you don’t calm down anytime soon, my karate hands will start erupting fire~!
(whispering) Midori-kun, Midori-kun. Is it just me, or is Taichou-dono acting a little strange today?
(whispering) He is trying to hug us far more than usual, like he is a little too hyper over everything…?
(whispering) Eh? I think he’s always like that, though.
(whispering) Wait, why’re you even asking me… I’m honestly so exhausted, I can’t use my head anymore… Shinkai-senpai’s likely been with Morisawa-senpai longer than me, so go ask him…
yeees? did you call for me~, midori? (sways left and right)
Wha—!? You managed to hear our whispering? You have good hearing, Shinkai-senpai…
do i? mmh~, a god is one that “hears everything”, you see~…?
…? Huh? A God is what?
My deepest apologies, Shinkai-dono. You speak with strange intonations, so there are times wherein I cannot comprehend what you are trying to say!
i am often told~ is my Voice hard to pick up?
i would be Sad if i were misunderstood, so i have been trying to talk as Clearly as possible Lately…
No, your voice is very clear, but… Sometimes it’s hard to understand what you’re trying to say, I guess…
i see~… it is lonely when we cannot understand each other…
Ahh, no! We just haven’t been trying hard enough, I think…!? Please don’t make that face, Shinkai-senpai! I’m so sorry for not being able to understand well…!
fufu. why are you apologizing? you are a strange Child, midori~♪
but, it makes me Happy in a way — knowing that you are trying hard to Understand me…
you really are similar to how chiaki Used to be in the Past.
I get that often for some reason… Honestly, I don’t like being told that, and it only confuses me… I mean, we’re nothing alike; aren’t we actually complete opposites…?
Which part of us is even alike…?
huh? now that you mention it… mmh~, i suppose it is your Kindness?
which Means, all the Children of ryuseitai are similar to chiaki…♪
Yaaay! That is such an honor! But you are also extremely kind, so you resemble him, too! We are all one and the same here in Ryuseitai~♪
……i am not kind.
god does not Save human Beings out of kindness.
that was another thing that chiaki taught me. no… every valuable thing — it was all taught to me by a hero.2
Translation Notes
- ↑ Tetora says mizukusai (水臭い) for “reserved”, which has the water kanji in it, and Kanata jumps on it immediately. I tried to also show that in the English translation.
- ↑ This story is a great time to mention something about Kanata and the word “hero”: Kanata always talks in full hiragana (he turns katakana words to deformed hiragana spelling). The only word he always says in the correct way it’s spelt is “hero” (ヒーロー, in katakana).
