Chapter 1

Season: Yumenosaki Era, Summer

Location: Pirates Stage

Warning: Derogatory term used in this chapter.

Ahh, jeez…! I had to go along with the whole Pirate Festival thing until the very end, and I’m sooo~ exhausted! I was worked to the bone for nothing! This is the actual wooorst!

Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Izumi-chan. Everyone’s having a barbeque on the other side as a wrap-up party, it seems~

Since we’re here and all, let’s go eat dinner with them, too~♪

Ehh~ I don’t want to eat greasy stuff like meat at this hour, though?

You sweated a lot while working, so you’ll be fine. The calories between how much you take and how much you’ve expended will balance out, you know?

We have to reward ourselves every once in a while~♪

Here, I brought us meat. Say “a~hh”~♪

Mgph… Hey, I can demand a reward from Anzu, can’t I?

I can’t stand to work without pay, but a barbeque barely cuts it~!

Well, I guess it worked as a way to occupy my time, though~?

Mm~ Thing is, Ryuseitai and UNDEAD both participated in Pirate Festival, making that two unit participations, right?

That wasn’t part of the original plan, so… I doubt Anzu-chan has the funds to compensate us on top of everything else, y’know?

Pirate Festival was an exciting hit, and it seems the profits from the merchandise were pretty good…

But it all got deducted to pay the necessary expenses, so I don’t think there’s any left for us~

It didn’t end up as a huge disaster in costs nor for the event itself… That’s a big relief to know, so I’d feel bad for poor Anzu-chan if she had to deal with your demands too, you know?

We’re the ones who decided on our own to help her out, so let her off this time, okay? I’ll pat you like a good, good boy, so bear with that for now~♪

Nuah—? I told you not to casually touch me, didn’t I, shitty okama!?

That being said… Where is Anzu-chan, anyway? I would love to pat her head for her wonderful hard work…

She worked suuuper hard, after all. ♪

Ah, yeah… Seems like she’s running around the beach in the mascot costume with that huge Ryuseitai first year?

Ahaha! ☆ Please wait for me, Anzu-san! How are you moving so quickly in that costume!? That’s amazing~ Ahh, and now you tripped…♪

Are you alright? It’s hard to run on sand, isn’t it? I’ll pull you up by the hand, so let’s have a lovey-dovey time tonight~♪

Midori-kuuun~ You look very happy, so I’d rather not interject from the side—

But the sight of you running on the beach holding hands with a mascot costume is a little bit surreal, you know~?

This is my first time ever seein’ Midori-kun laughin’ so innocently like that. He really loves Anego, huh…?

No, wait, it’s yuruchara he loves, right? Mm~mh?

She promised him that she’d go on a date after Pirate Festival was over, after all.

But that Captain Kidoairaku costume belongs to the beach house, I believe.

She cannot take it back with her, so for the date…

She’s pouring her all to have a wonderful time with him, like two love birds. Anzu-dono has quite the sense of responsibility too, or perhaps it’s that she has a lot of energy~?

She surely had her own rough time with this event, yet she is running about so energetically…

Meanwhile, I cannot even move anymore… I truly must build more stamina once and for all. I will only drag everyone down at this rate.

Mm, so eat meat for that purpose. These have finished grilling.

Yeah, eat up, eat up! There isn’t much meat, but Kanata caught plenty of seafood for us, so we have an abundance of them!

Takamine also asked his home to bring over vegetables! This is one luxurious barbeque! ☆

Here, I’ll give you eggplants! Eat eggplants! They’re cooked nicely! I dislike them, so I’d rather you eat them! Uuu, just looking at them gives me chills!

You won’t grow strong if you’re picky with food, ermm… Morisawa-senpai?

Yeah, I’m aware of that, but… Eggplants are the one thing I can’t stand no matter what. At this point, I can only assume something must have happened in a past life.

…Hold it, Nagumo! You’ll hurt yourself with the fire, so don’t get near it.

Uu~ Lookin’ at fire gets me in a weird mood!

I wanna do it too… I’ll swap turns to grill the meat, so please go ahead and take your turn to eat… Ermm, Otogari-senpai?

Mm. I’m hungry too, so I’d greatly appreciate it if you could swap places with me.

While I’m at it, I’ll bring over food for Hakaze-senpai as well, who’s being hung from the pirate ship’s mast as punishment.

Ossu! Great work out there! Aaaighty, time to grill this place up~♪

Stop at once, Nagumo! I’ve told you several times that you should never handle fire! We’ll only have a fire disaster! I’ll do it instead, so leave it all to me!

I’m Ryusei Red, and red means flames! You understand, don’t you?

Ehh~… Well, that’s fine too, but at least let me help ya! ♪

Heeey, Sengoku-kun! Midori-kun, Anego, and the others too! (waves) Let’s all eat food together~ Today’s meal will give us energy for tomorrow…☆

Chapter 2

Hakaze-senpai, are you alive? Here’s meat. There’s fish, as well.

yaaay, fish~♪ is there soy sauce? (sways left and right)

I’ve seasoned the food while grilling, but any other seasoning is up to the person.

I see that you’re very close to Hakaze-senpai, ermm, Shinkai-senpai? Ah, if I recall correctly, the two of you are in the Marine Life Club, correct?

yes~ are you also interested in [sea creatures]? (sways left and right)

Sea creatures can grow endlessly big, so I am a little interested to know the secrets behind that, but…

You see, my friend is also part of the Marine Life Club. I hear a lot of stories from him, so that is how I know, that’s all.

ahh, [souma], yes? thank you for [taking care] of him…♪

And you, as well. Thank you for taking care of Kanzaki and Hakaze-senpai.

Heey~ You puzzling boys, could you quit chatting with each other and spare some mercy~?

Let me down from the mast already, I’ve reflected on myself by now, really~

Being tied up with ropes is just going to leave marks on me…

People will get the wrong idea and think I have weird tastes, and I seriously don’t wanna be tied up by anyone, y’know~?

Shaddap! You need to reflect on yourself a li’l! Hey, Adonis, you don’t have to feed this guy any food, got it!?

Gimme that plate! I’m starvin’ out here!

Oogami, it’s bad manners to snatch someone else’s food.

Shut it! Just hand it over! Do it already, I don’t have the patience for this!

Hey, Vampire Bastard~? Adonis brought over meat, so quit bein’ so down and eat!

Get your nutrients and build up stamina to prepare yourself for tomorrow’s live show!

Ooh, Doggie. Why thank you, I shall gladly eat this…♪

Hm. So you wanted to give Sakuma-senpai something to eat. You’re kind, Oogami. This won’t be enough for two people, so I’ll bring extra.

Hah! UNDEAD doesn’t have enough firepower when this guy isn’t at full energy! And this time he was only useful after the sun set!

So eat up and sleep well so we can perform together from the very damn start!

The live show today ended up with us beaten to the ground by Ryuseitai of all units, man!

Well, there was no helping that. We were much more dishevelled compared to Ryuseitai, after all.

You bastard~ Whose fault do you think that is, huh? I’ve got no interest in losin’ over and over again! Hakaze-senpai, you better take things seriously tomorrow, too!

Yes, yes, as you wish~…♪

Fufu. You’re being chewed out, aren’t you, Kaoru-kun. However, reflecting on yourself is necessary as well.

It would do you good to try racking your brain over something other than love sometimes…♪

Mm~ I don’t wanna pour my all into something other than girls, though. I don’t even know how to act towards guys, let alone juniors, so~?

I can’t believe you two manage it just fine, Sakuma-san, Kanata-kun~

Kukuku. We, the Three Eccentrics, are simply doing what we wish our former seniors had done for us…

It’s simply a means of compensation. I don’t think it is anything worthy of praise, is it?

[juniors] are cute too, you know? kaoru, join us in getting along with them~♪ (sways left and right)

Ryuseitai’s full of good boys, after all~ Meanwhile, our unit just has stupid brats…?

I mean, did I really do something so wrong to deserve this punishment?

We may be members of the same unit, but idols are all about kicking each other down, no?

but we are no longer in an [era] like that, so… if you do not reflect on yourself, i will [chop] you~♪

Wawah—? Kanata-kun’s hand-chops seriously hurt, so spare me, ‘kay~? I’ve reflected on myself by now, really, really~♪

Chapter 3

Uu… In the end, I got hit in the face by Koga-kun, even though I’m against violence~ I’m just gonna freak out all the girls with my face puffed up like this!

I can’t even hit on them… Even though we’re at the beach of all places!

Shut up. We have a live show tomorrow too. Pirate Festival is an overnight stay job, and we’ll be performin’ for a couple’a days…

So you just gotta get rida the swellin’ before you get up on stage.

Hey, Adonis, get some ice. The swelling’ll go down if he cools it down.

You’re overworking me, Oogami. …But, well, this is necessary.

We will win tomorrow. We’ll use everything to grow stronger, even our losses… We’ll grow day by day, and become bigger than everyone.

Mm, that’s wonderful. I will also do my best not to collapse tomorrow.

Ahh, I feel young again, after so long… My friend also expressed his gratitude for everything, since Pirate Festival brought over a full house~♪

It sound like the sales at my friend’s beach house were through the roof.

It seems that Pirate Festival has become the talk of the town, so we should have more guests tomorrow.

If we perform another sloppy live show like today, it will bring disgrace to UNDEAD’s reputation, understood?

Young Lady Anzu has provided us with a future, a course of action… So let us plunge forward with the sails fluttering ahead.

Awaiting us all is a grand adventure brimming with hardships, and treasure full of gold riches~♪

Let us scrape up every dream out there… And with the Polaris star as our guide, we head forth toward new land — O fellow companions of mine, O beloved arch-enemies of mine.

yes. the [sea] is vast and big, after all. the [earth] is round no matter where you go~ (sways left and right)

so we can have a [grand adventure] for as long as we like~♪

Kukuku. You look elated, Shinkai-kun.

yes. [rei] and [wataru] as well, you two have such [wonderful smiles] these days~♪ is it all thanks to anzu-san? (sways left and right)

Indeed, it is as if we have the goddess statue at the bow of our ship. She blesses and guides our sails.

We must show our gratitude to her, for she is a young lady akin to a miracle…♪

We must stay beside that Young Lady. She may be able to restore the youth we wasted away in a worthless battle…

Although, I can only hope “those two” return soon enough.1

But I suppose it’s alright. If the Five Eccentrics come together again, it may complicate matters…

And right now, my fellow companions differ from back then. This place of belonging is where I choose to be content and set as my final resting home.

Oi! Not that I care, but you’ve barely eaten anythin’!

You better eat a full meal. Just how incompetent are ya? What, you need someone to be your caregiver or somethin’, ahhn?

Do not rush me, Doggie. I am having my fill of this moment, slowly, at my own pace… Can’t you tell?

Ahh, this year’s summer may turn out to be much hotter than usual. In more ways than one…♪

I feel like I might dry up from the very heat. I do not even have the appetite for food, though strangely enough, I am in a comfortably pleasant mood…♪

Even though the sun has already set, there is radiance overflowing akin to the sun, centered around Young Lady Anzu…

I feel myself this close to being reduced to ashes… It is simply far too dazzling for a feeble old man like me, you know?

Everything is glittering so bright… This season is truly unkind to vampires, good grief. ♪
