**[00:35] Otori**
Hey, boy!
**[00:42] Otori**
Good morning.
**[00:45] Hoshitani**
Otori-senpai!
**[00:50] Hoshitani**
It's sort of refreshing to see you
out of uniform, Otori-senpai.
**[00:55] Otori**
I had something to attend to,
so I'm just dropping by.
**[00:59] Otori**
You're here awfully early.
**[01:01] Hoshitani**
I'm getting fired up!
**[01:04] Otori**
Fired up?
**[01:05] Hoshitani**
Yes!
**[01:08] Hoshitani**
This is where it all started.
**[01:11] Hoshitani**
I met the high schooler I admire, and...
**[01:16] Hoshitani**
I knew I wanted to dance like that,
**[01:18] Hoshitani**
to stand on the same stage
with that person someday.
**[01:24] Hoshitani**
Otori-senpai!
**[01:26] Hoshitani**
How were my steps?
**[01:29] Otori**
I'm not your leader anymore.
**[01:40] Otori**
You're fine as you are.
**[01:43] Otori**
I still think that.
**[01:49] Hoshitani**
Okay!
**[01:53] Hoshitani**
I have to get going. Please come
visit again, Otori-senpai!
**[01:58] Otori**
Visit? But...
**[01:59] Hoshitani**
That's a promise!
**[02:06] Otori**
Sounds good!

Nayuki!
**[05:01] Hoshitani**
Did you see the class list?
**[05:02] Nayuki**
Yes, we're together again this year.
**[05:06] Tsukigami**
Of course we are.
**[05:08] Kuga**
Yo.
**[05:10] Hoshitani**
Tsukigami!
**[05:11] Nayuki**
Kuga-kun!
**[05:21] Nayuki**
Those glasses...
**[05:23] Kuga**
Is that supposed to be a disguise?
**[05:25] Hoshitani**
Doesn't he actually have *more* groupies
than when we were first-years?
**[05:29] Tengenji**
Sorry to make you wait.
**[05:34] Tsukigami**
Why don't you change your disguise already?
**[05:37] ---**
What?!
**[05:38] Kuga**
Is the classroom that way?
**[05:40] Nayuki**
Ah, Kuga-kun, not that way!
**[05:51] Toraishi**
Yo, Team Otori!
**[05:53] Hoshitani**
Toraishi!
**[05:57] Tatsumi**
Hey.
**[05:59] Sawatari**
We haven't been in the same
class since middle school.
**[06:02] Tsukigami**
Yeah. I'm counting on you.
**[06:04] Ugawa**
Blech.
**[06:05] Tengenji**
Hey!
**[06:06] Kuga**
Is it this way?
**[06:07] Toraishi**
No, Shu! This way!
**[06:15] Hoshitani**
Good morning!
**[06:23] Nayuki**
Hoshitani-kun...
**[06:27] Toraishi**
Hey, Team Sazanami duo!
**[06:30] Kitahara**
Oh, Izumi.
**[06:31] Kitahara**
Damn, our room *and* class are the same.
I'm gonna get sick of seeing you.
**[06:38] Kitahara**
Guilty.
**[06:39] Toraishi**
You know...
**[06:41] Nanjo**
I'd say Toraishi is just as sick of seeing
your face as you are of seeing his, Ren.
**[06:47] Kitahara**
What?
**[06:48] Tengenji**
So that's Toraishi's roommate?
**[06:52] Tsukigami**
You've met him before, haven't you?
**[06:57] Ugawa**
What's with that?
**[06:59] Nayuki**
That's Kitahara-kun and Nanjo-kun.
**[07:02] Hoshitani**
Okay, so is that everyone, then?
**[07:06] Tatsumi**
No, there's one more team left.
**[07:22] Tatsumi**
Team Yuzuriha.
**[07:31] Tatsumi, Sawatari, Kitahara & Nanjo**
Ageha Riku.
**[07:58] SONG**
There is a sacred light,
a catharsis that comes quietly
**[08:05] SONG**
A distant glow, so far away
that I can't yet reach it
**[08:12] SONG**
The color of the darkness is white
**[08:16] SONG**
And I painted over it
**[08:20] SONG**
I repeat that cut-out scene
**[08:24] SONG**
Over and over again
**[08:27] SONG**
A ritual to touch a god
**[08:32] SONG**
Do not enter, no one interfere
**[08:37] SONG**
This place is only for me
**[08:39] SONG**
I will dance in my dreams behind
doors that I've shut tight
**[08:46] SONG**
Lightly and nimbly, I will try
acting like the person I admire
**[09:08] Hoshitani**
Ageha Riku of Team Yuzuriha.
**[09:13] Nanjo**
Even as a second-year, he's still...
**[09:16] Kitahara**
...weird.
**[09:34] Nayuki**
Are you all right?
**[09:35] Hachiya**
I-I-I'm fine...
**[09:39] Tengenji**
Who's the guy in the glasses?
**[09:42] Sawatari**
Hachiya So-kun of Team Yuzuriha.
**[09:45] Sawatari**
He's a very accomplished person,
**[09:47] Hachiya**
I'm sorry, Ageha!
**[09:48] Sawatari**
but he's always a bit distracted, you might say.
**[09:52] Tatsumi**
He's pretty clumsy.
**[09:54] Ageha**
Rui.
**[09:56] Ageha**
We're in the same class...
**[09:57] Ageha**
Looking forward to it.
**[09:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:00] Tatsumi**
I'm looking forward to it too, Ageha.
**[10:10] Ageha**
Tsukki...
**[10:11] Tsukigami**
T-Tsukki?
**[10:14] Ageha**
I'm glad.
**[10:15] Ageha**
I've been waiting to be in the
same class with you, Tsukki.
**[10:20] Tsukigami**
With me?
**[10:21] Ageha**
Because you're his little brother...
**[10:25] Ageha**
Tsukigami Haruto's.
**[10:33] Nayuki**
Ageha-kun, you know...
**[10:34] Tsukigami**
It's okay, Nayuki.
**[10:42] Ageha**
It's a pleasure.
**[10:43] Tsukigami**
Same.
**[10:52] Hoshitani**
Um, I'm Hoshitani Yuta!
**[10:56] Hoshitani**
Nice to meet you, Ageha!
**[11:08] Ageha**
So, the opening ceremony's starting.
**[11:11] Hachiya**
Ah, right.
**[11:16] Tengenji**
What's his deal? Who refuses
a hand when it's offered?
**[11:19] Hoshitani**
You slapped my hand away when
I offered it, Tengenji.
**[11:23] Tengenji**
It's okay if I do it!
**[11:25] Hoshitani**
It's totally the same thing.
**[11:26] Sawatari**
Are you okay?
**[11:26] Tengenji**
I was just teasing you at first!
**[11:28] Tsukigami**
Do I look like I'm not?
**[11:30] Sawatari**
No.
**[11:32] Tatsumi**
It's well known that Ageha is
a fan of Tsukigami Haruto.
**[11:43] Hachiya**
What did you think?
**[11:44] Hachiya**
Did Tsukigami-kun make you feel anything?
**[11:50] Ageha**
Yes.
**[11:56] Ageha**
He gave me chills.
**[11:59] Ageha**
It must be nice to have
the same blood as him...
**[12:07] Ageha**
Tsukigami Haruto is my god.
***SIGN*** Opening Ceremony
**[12:28] Hoshitani**
It's over!
**[12:30] Hoshitani**
It's been ages since we were all together.
Why don't we go to Ninja Burger?
**[12:35] Kuga**
We have a briefing this afternoon.
**[12:38] Hoshitani**
Briefing?
**[12:39] Nayuki**
Did you forget?
**[12:41] Tengenji**
For the Graduation Celebration Performance.
**[12:44] Hoshitani**
Oh? The Graduation Celebration Performance?
**[12:48] Hoshitani**
Whose?
**[12:51] Tsukigami**
Do you really not know anything?
**[12:56] Hoshitani**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Lambert ... Hiragi Tsubasa Alexis ... Otori Itsuki
**[13:02] Sazanami**
I see.
**[13:04] Sazanami**
The casting is just what I'd expect.
**[13:06] Yuzuriha**
Très bien.
**[13:08] Yuzuriha**
I'm looking forward to practice!
**[13:11] Akatsuki**
We're not participating in it until
summer break starts, you know.
**[13:17] Yuzuriha**
I can't wait that long!
**[13:20] Sazanami**
You have to consider the
other graduates' schedules.
**[13:22] Sazanami**
The Graduation Celebration Performance,
which really should have
***SIGN*** Ayanagi Academy's Graduation Celebration Performance The Musical
**[13:25] Sazanami**
taken place while we were enrolled,
**[13:27] Sazanami**
is taking place in August, after we graduate.
**[13:30] Sazanami**
It's a tradition born out of
consideration for those of us
**[13:34] Sazanami**
serving on the Kao Council.
**[13:35] Akatsuki**
It would be difficult to practice
while being in charge of students.
**[13:41] Yuzuriha**
I know that.
**[13:46] Hiragi**
We ran a bit late.
**[13:48] Otori**
Sorry for the wait.
**[13:51] Sazanami**
So you two were together?
**[13:53] Akatsuki**
Did you make the arrangements for that thing?
**[13:55] Hiragi**
Yes, I've gotten Grandfather's permission,
**[13:59] Hiragi**
but I was thinking about making
an official announcement.
**[14:03] Otori**
So you read the script?
**[14:05] Akatsuki**
There were rumors about whether a problem
child like you would really be a good fit
**[14:10] Akatsuki**
for the role opposite Hiragi's lead.
**[14:14] Otori**
I agree.
**[14:16] Sazanami**
I think this is the best casting
based on our aptitudes.
**[14:22] Yuzuriha**
Oui!
**[14:24] Yuzuriha**
Besides, Otori has great looks!
**[14:29] Akatsuki**
I'm joking.
**[14:31] Akatsuki**
Isn't Otori-kun the most suited to play the
role of Alexis opposite Hiragi-kun's Lambert?
**[14:37] Akatsuki**
So why would you say you agree?
**[14:43] Otori**
Winning Akatsuki over really is difficult, huh?
**[14:47] Otori**
What magic did you use?
**[14:49] Hiragi**
Putting that aside...
**[14:51] Otori**
We're putting it aside?
**[14:54] Hiragi**
Doesn't it interest you?
**[14:56] Hiragi**
Which second-years will win the
honored training roles this year?
**[15:05] Yuzuriha**
I'm really looking forward to it.
**[15:09] Yuzuriha**
The disciples of Team Yuzuriha
will surely become our co-stars.
**[15:15] Akatsuki**
You're pretty confident that it
will be your students, aren't you?
**[15:19] Yuzuriha**
Oui!
**[15:20] Sazanami**
As for my team...
**[15:21] Sazanami**
Well, they will likely stick
to their own convictions.
**[15:25] Sazanami**
There's something that I'm hoping
this test will help them realize.
**[15:33] Hiragi**
I wonder how your treasured students will do.
**[15:38] Otori**
Indeed, I wonder.
**[15:43] Kuga**
I found it.
**[15:46] Hoshitani**
"Shadow & Lights"?
**[15:49] Tsukigami**
It's the program from the graduation
celebration performance.
**[15:52] Nayuki**
The second-years participate in
this as part of their curriculum.
**[15:55] Hoshitani**
Wow, really? As the staff?
**[15:58] Tsukigami**
Mostly.
**[16:00] Tsukigami**
But there are exceptions, and they are...
***SIGN*** Second-year Training Roles - 5 Roles
**[16:03] Tsukigami**
the second-year training roles.
**[16:06] Hoshitani**
Training roles?
**[16:08] Kuga**
Each year, five students are selected from
**[16:10] Kuga**
the second-years and given a role on stage.
**[16:13] Nayuki**
You're really knowledgeable, Kuga-kun.
**[16:15] Tengenji**
Look, you're the only one, you boor—
**[16:17] Hoshitani**
So that means we might be able to perform
with Otori-senpai and the others?!
**[16:22] Tatsumi**
That's not all.
**[16:24] Tatsumi**
If you win a training role,
**[16:26] Tatsumi**
it doesn't just work to your advantage
in department evaluations.
**[16:29] Tatsumi**
You may also be chosen to
be on the next Kao Council.
**[16:34] Tengenji**
Which means that all 25
musical department students
**[16:37] Tengenji**
will be after the training roles.
**[16:42] Sawatari**
Especially Ageha-kun.
**[16:45] Sawatari**
There's a rumor that he's obsessed
with being in this year's performance.
**[16:48] Hoshitani**
Ageha is?
**[16:50] Sawatari**
Team Yuzuriha is also said
**[16:51] Sawatari**
to be receiving specialized guidance
in acquiring the training roles.
**[16:56] Nayuki**
Specialized guidance?
**[16:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:00] Tatsumi**
For that reason, Ageha will
undeniably be a strong opponent.
**[17:11] Hoshitani**
It doesn't matter what role it is.
**[17:14] Hoshitani**
I can't believe we'll get to help
with Senpai's performance!
**[17:19] Tengenji**
You really never change, huh?
**[17:27] Lecturer**
* The briefing for the graduation*
* celebration ceremony will begin.*
**[17:30] Lecturer**
* Second-year musical department students,*
* please gather in the multipurpose room.*
**[17:34] Lecturer**
*I repeat—*
**[17:39] Lecturer**
That's it for the main cast.
***SIGN*** Second-year Training Roles: Lambert's Shadow, Alexis' Shadow, Hardy (Dancer), Percy (Detective's Assistant), Orlando (Actor Colleague)
**[17:43] Lecturer**
Next, regarding the second-year cast...
**[17:47] Lecturer**
The casting of the training roles
will be decided by audition.
**[17:51] Lecturer**
You'll hear the details tomorrow,
**[17:52] Lecturer**
during the first practice,
where the explanation and selection
**[17:56] Lecturer**
of training roles will be done
in person by the Ancients.
**[18:00] Hoshitani**
The Ancients?
**[18:01] Nayuki**
They're the special coaches who will
be looking after us second-years.
**[18:05] Tsukigami**
They're chosen from
Ayanagi Academy's alumni.
**[18:09] Tsukigami**
They know all about the
graduation celebration performance
**[18:12] Tsukigami**
and are former leaders closely related
to the graduates of that year.
**[18:17] Hoshitani**
So that could possibly mean...
**[18:23] [Messenger] SIGN**

Oh, it's from the chief.
**[20:35] Uozumi**
Why should we have to fuss over
someone who isn't even in Japan?
**[20:39] Futaba**
Jeez, Uozumi...
**[20:42] Saotome**
It can't be helped, Taiga.
**[20:44] Saotome**
The wounds he received from
Prince Haruto still haven't healed.
**[20:51] Futaba**
That's true. He's just a kid in a big body.
**[20:56] Uozumi**
What did Haru say, anyway?
**[20:59] [Messenger] SIGN**
Our hearts are together
**[21:00] Uozumi**
"Our hearts are together"?
**[21:06] Saotome**
Our prince is the same as always.

Well, then...

With our hearts together, let's go to

There's no point in
worrying about that now.
**[23:08] Hiragi**
You're quite the worrier, aren't you?
**[23:12] Otori**
You're pretty calm.
**[23:15] Hiragi**
Of course.
**[23:16] Hiragi**
I am the star of the graduation

Aren't you the star?
**[23:31] Haruto**
If you do anything to him and
his friends, like you did last year,
**[23:33] Haruto**
be ready for me to come and
*thank* you again. Just kidding!
**[23:37] Hiragi**
Like I said, it wasn't like that!
