- Rainbow
【Revival/24】
narration
- Yes. This was especially true when we had just formed "Trickstar". Everyone gave up and gave in to the student body.
hokuto
- That's how it looked to me. Revolution was a pipe dream.
hokuto
- I thought about it many times. Are we doing something stupid?
hokuto
- Doesn't anyone want this to happen? Am I just being selfish to get back at them for hurting me in the past?
hokuto
- Am I not just going to go on a rampage for such a thing, even involving my friends?
hokuto
- talking ostentatiously and fanatically about a revolution, but isn't it just a case of an egomaniac confusing the people who live in peace?
hokuto
- It really could be. Maybe it was just a small incident not even recorded in the history books.
hokuto
- I've been told that the revolution was a success, and I have the feeling that slowly Yume no Saki Gakuin is changing, but I still don't know if it's a good change or a bad change.
hokuto
- I'm sure future generations will look back on the past and give it a rating.
hokuto
- But waiting until that day to do nothing is, in my opinion, a fool's errand.
hokuto
- So I will do what I want to do now. For my dreams, for my future, for myself. I walk the path I want to walk. I'm not at anyone's beck and call anymore.
hokuto
- So I'm sorry for you guys, but I'm glad I left "fine".
hokuto
- I might have been more successful as an idol if I had worked as a soldier under the student body president, but that's not my life.
hokuto
- ....... It's amazing how you can say 'I'm glad I betrayed you' in front of someone who betrayed and hurt you.
tori
- It's refreshing to see a man with such brazen bravado come this far.
tori
- Oh well. but. I think I was a little jealous of you.
tori
- I wanted to be a member of "fine", and I desperately asked to be allowed to join.
tori
- Even if it was for an operation, you were recruited by the Chairman because he wanted you on his side.
tori
- You were solicited, he told you he wanted you.
tori
- I haven't been told once.
tori
- So I was frustrated and hated Senpai for throwing away what I wanted so easily, and I didn't understand what it meant.
tori
- I still don't know. You are as expressionless as a robot and I can't understand what you are thinking.
tori
- But, okay, so Senpai was the same as I am now.
tori
- I remember. The day fine revolution succeeded, the day Eichi-sama reached out to me.
tori
- From my point of view, it looked like a "Happy end" stage, with everything shining brightly.
tori
- The light drowned them out, but there were people crying behind that stage.
tori
- It's so obvious, but I had never recognized it before.
tori
- Maybe all the public and the students of Yumenosaki Gakuin thought the revolution was successful and this was a happy ending, but some of them are crying because they were defeated.
tori
- ....... Some people have nightmares every night.
tori
- Happy endings are a joke. You're right, senpai?
tori
- Yeah. That's what I thought, too.
hokuto
- Oops. Morisawa senpai contacted me. It seems that the missing Sagami senshei has been found.
hokuto
- They say he running as fast as he can, pulling at their hands.
hokuto
- Huhun. Now we're all here. A rainbow with several missing colors is not a pretty sight, so I'm glad to see that they're all here.
tori
- Yeah. Oh, I was looking for Morisawa senpai and the others, and I found a transfer student.
hokuto
- Oh, really! Anzu~♪ Ahaha. There's a friend of Senpai's nearby.
tori
- Oh. I heard that everyone from "Trickstar" came to support us.
hokuto
- I'm happy for them, but it feels weird that I'm on stage and they're just watching from afar.
hokuto
- Not that it matters, but when did you start calling your new students by their first names?
hokuto
- Yeah. There was a circus and everything.
tori
- I think I've been a jerk to her in the past.
tori
- Maybe even now for you. .......sorry.
tori
- Hmm? What did you say? Look at that! The members of "fine" are here to support us.
hokuto
- Why don't you give them a wave?
hokuto
- Here, this way. It must be hard to see at your height. Let's get closer.
hokuto
- ……Hidaka senpai really looks like a prince.
tori
- Hmm? Is that so? Thanks. I'm pretty good at playing the prince.
hokuto
- No, that's not acting. It's natural, right? Disgusting~……. Blunt and fast-paced, yet positive and strong.
tori
- I feel like an idiot for complaining.
tori
- What? I don't know, even if you whisper it. It's like there's a bigger audience than I thought.
hokuto
- Hmmm. It's easier to hear your voice if your face is closer to me. Do you want me to carry you like a princess?
hokuto
- Extra care. Only compliments sound normal, don't they? I hate you to death for that too.
tori
- ……I'm going to hurt you badly one day. "Prince."
