| Misumi | Ah! You’re the one who gave us the flyer~! |
| ??? | Haha, I’m glad we could meet again. |
| Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tatsumi, and I’m the owner of Soukuu. It’s a pleasure to be working with you all from here on out. |
| Izumi | Thank you for having us. |
| Members | Thank you for having us! |
| Tatsumi | I’m sure everyone knows this already, but because of all the rumors and controversies about this place being a former delinquent school, we don’t have any other guests at the moment. |
| That’s why you’re free to use the rehearsal areas however you’d like during the rehearsal period. In fact, I’d very much appreciate it if you do use them. |
| Izumi | Understood, thank you very much. |
| Kumon | Excuse me, Tatsumi-san, but… If it’s alright, could you tell us more about what kind of school this place used to be? |
| Tatsumi | Well. This was back when I was attending before, but this school had a lot of strong gangs that would get into fights with each other. |
| That’s why it wasn’t hard to mistake this as a delinquent school at first glance. I’m sure students from other schools had been terrified of us because of that. |
| Banri | …. |
| Tatsumi | But there was one guy— the Rep', who was the strongest among all of them. He had a policy that they should never bully the weak, and it’s because of that that he had a surprisingly good relationship with the students. |
| Or rather, you could say that it’s precisely because the Rep' had such strength that he could bring the students together… |
| Kumon | Is that for real!? This Rep' person’s super cool then!! |
| Tatsumi | Ahaha, I also looked up to the Rep' at that time. Because of him, the fighting eventually became more like a rare occurance... |
| This place had always been a lot like any other school, unlike all the exaggerated depictions that the controversies are putting up. |
| Of course, I’m merely just one person, so I can’t say there’s any link with the weird guys leaving these kinds of comments. |
| Juza | Then they must’ve made exaggerations of the lingering rumors that made the neighboring schools afraid of this place. |
| Banri | All of that’s history by now, so there’s no way for anyone to prove what’s the truth. And I’m guessing it’s ‘cause of that, the rumor of the “legendary delinquent school” was born. |
| Tatsumi | Which is why I hope that, by having everyone do a performance here, then people will be able to realize the charm of this place. |
| *CRACKS KNUCKLES* |
| Tatsumi | That… And because I don’t want to lose to rumors like those. |
| Banri | (That’s some serious knuckle cracking. He ain’t even hiding the fact he was an ex-Yankee, is he? But… Can’t say I hate his spunk.) |
| Tatsumi | Oh, right. You’re free to use the rehearsal areas as you please. However, the rooftop is off-limits, so please take care not to get near there. |
| Well then, I’ll leave you all to your business. |
| *FOOTSTEPS WALKING AWAY* |
| Kumon | A forbidden rooftop…!? |
| Azuma | Fufu, sounds like it’s more than it seems. |
| Tasuku | I’m pretty sure it’s because they don’t want people to go into a dangerous place so easily. |
| Izumi | It sounds like it, after what Tatsumi-san said. Let’s just use this space for our rehearsals then. |
| Sakuya | Uhm! This morning, Citron-san gave me the list of prompts he mentioned before— the one that will help with our role studies! |
| Juza | List of prompts? |
| Sakuya | That’s right. We can do our etudes with these delinquent prompts and write them off the list one by one as we do it. |
| Citron-san had Spring Troupe help him out the same way for his yankee role study when he was doing that VS Act before. |
| Banri | I see. That’s not a bad idea. |
| Misumi | Sounds fun~! I wanna try! |
| Izumi | Alright. Well then, everyone, let’s start with our delinquent etudes right away. |
