The Fallen Angels’ Banquet – Epilogue
Season: ES 2nd Year, Summer (Mid-June)
Two hours later…
…Alright, all the guests have left.
You can come out now, everyone.
Understood, nin-nin! Shutatatatata…☆1
Ooh, it’s deserted here! Even speaking normally has my voice echoing!
It was ever so lively here, but it is now so empty, it almost feels like that was all an illusion.
The feeling of the stage after performing feels nice, doesn’t it~ The blend of feeling accomplished, but also a little sad that it’s over, sorta thing.
But are you sure it’s okay? There’s still a lot of stuff to move out, and I’m worried we’ll just get in your way.
Not to worry, it’s fine. If we’re to have a briefing on things to improve on, what better place than the Stage we performed on?
Cleaning up the banquet side comes first, and the disassembly of the Stage later. There are no troubles hindering our progress.
However, the Staff are still working on tidying up the audience seats. Please do keep that in mind.
Noted! You have my deepest gratitude.
Nevertheless, we are pressed for time, so — I believe it would be best to narrow down our improvement areas and go over them.
—Then, Yume wants to revise the part Yume messed up.
Yume-kun…?
The sound of the vase breaking was much louder than how it was during the lessons… so Yume couldn’t even move anymore from the surprise.
Yume was aware it’s just part of the stage. But Yume’s body still responded in reflex.
Yeah, that’s the sort of problems typically faced on the actual performance. No amount of practice in the studio will end up the exact same as the real stage — The echoes sound different too, as do the lighting and atmosphere.
It’s normal to not know what could happen in the actual performance, but… When you know the problem, you’d obviously want to take countermeasures as much as possible, right?
Mhm. That’s why Yume wants to learn not to get startled by it. Yume should get more used to it the more we perform.
I see. Then let’s start focusing on that Scene for now. Right, for a good place to emulate the same atmosphere—
…Oh? Anzu-oneesama, what’s wrong?
There’s something you’d like to inform us about? Of course, please go ahead.
Oh, the schedule for Ha/Lo’s mini live has been decided!? What pleasant news!
Mm? There’s other wonderful news to share as well?
What on earth could it be? I’m already excited before getting to hear it~♪
Time passes, a few days before the mini live. At a karaoke room…
—Oh. The staff brought over the drinks and postcards.
I ordered two drinks each, and it makes for quite an incredible sight with the amount for the four of us.
Ufufu. Yume gets the first two. Yume’s so excited to see which pattern it is…♪
Heh! Who would have seen a collaboration between Ha/Lo and a karaoke parlor coming!
This may simply be to commemorate the mini live, but it is still the first time for P-Choice to join arms with a karaoke parlor, no?
I feel as though we got a head start in a way~♪
Mm… Anzu-san, you kept in mind that Yume was collecting all the coasters for “The Fallen Angels’ Share”?
That’s why you negotiated with this company, so that Yume could also experience the joy of a production being talked about.
In the end, Yume couldn’t get in touch with that manga itself, but…
This isn’t so bad in its own way.
No… You did all this for Yume’s sake, so… Yume should show proper gratitude, right?
Thank you, Anzu-san.
Coasters, huh, hmm… It’s a strange story in a way, isn’t it?
What is?
You can get a postcard for every drink you order here, right?
But in the cafe Sengoku took me to a while back, you’d get coasters for every order you make. I felt something odd back then too, but…
Usually, you’d get coasters if it’s a drink, right? In terms of how you’d use the item.
Huh, now that you mention it…
You see, these sorts of merchandise aren’t for practicality, but for the fun of completing a collection.
And so, postcards are the right answer, Suou-kun!
Enough chatting, let’s check the patterns already.
…Both of Yume’s postcards were Tsukasa-san.
Oh, my, congratulations.
There’s nothing to congratulate here. The designs are different, so it isn’t a dupe, but Yume wants Yume’s own postcards.
I-I see. My Postcards are…
Mashiro-kun and I, it seems. One is donned in gold, so it must be a Rare one~♪
Aw, a golden one, I’m jealous~ Mine were Sengoku and Suou.
Mine… were both Suou-kun patterns. This is a menacing amount of Suou-kuns~
Ha— Could this be one of the Suou Family’s tactics…!?
Obviously not?
…Oh, Yume-kun… You’ve finished drinking them already?
Mhm. Yume will keep drinking until Yume completes them all.
It’s wonderful to be enthusiastic, but you’ll only hurt your stomach if you drink that much, alright?
Indeed. This collaboration concerns us, so how about you ask Anzu-oneesama for Samples instead?
There’s no point to it then. Happiness only has value when you grab it with your own two hands.
Hah… What shall we do, Anzu-dono?
…Huh? Anzu-dono, you’ll help everyone obtain what they want?
Uwaah… I trust that you’d know not to go too far, so I won’t stop you, but… Please don’t overdo it, okay?
Yes. Spoiling someone too much can be a problem of its own. It would only encourage that selfishness.
Fufufufu. Not at all. With every spoiling Yume gets, Yume only grows more and more…♪
Woah, that’s a mischievous look he’s got.
Good grief… Just watching how you act makes me feel like one of the adults watching over the fallen angels.
Haha, good point. But still—
It’s not so bad to have a rowdy time, either. I feel like it could help solidify our unity even more.
…That’s, well, not something I can deny, I suppose.
In other words, you’ll drink in Yume’s stead, right?
Absolutely not!
