Nocturnals, Weak in the Morning Sun

(The skies are cloudy. Izuru is on his way to school in Nagamachi.)

Izuru              Yawn…

Izuru              (I-I’m so sleepy… I-It’s hard to wake up early, as I thought…morning practices are painful…)

Izuru              (Even though I was totally fine, practicing late into the night… Waking up early in the morning is…u-uuuh…)

Enthusiastic Reito, Enthusiastic Liam

(The boys make it out of the school in time.)

Tsugumi        Whew…everyone’s present, at any rate. Sensei’ll get mad if we’re out late, so be sure to stick to the school’s closing time.

Junta              Pant…pant…I know.

Soshu            Still, it isn’t good to run along the corridors… Let’s account for some buffer time before we head home, from now on.

Tsugumi        Yeah.

New Score in Hand

On Monday morning, after the weekend of the Chunichi Contest—

(Sensei greets the band in the music room.)

Sensei                      Good morning, everyone. Great work for the Chunichi Contest on Saturday.

Sensei                      Were you able to rest well yesterday? Let’s do our best to prepare for the prefectural preliminaries with renewed feelings, starting from today.

Everyone                 Got it!

Autumn of Rebirths, A White Lull

One week before the inter-club rally. The vice-principal introduces the former advisor Masuda-sensei, and the pair meet—

(The doors to a family restaurant swing open at night.)

Cling clang

Sensei            Excuse me, I’ve a reservation for two at six—

Staff                Welcome. If that’s the guest with whom you’ve got an appointment, he’s waiting at the table over there.

Seriya            (……Okay. Right, next is, let’s see.)

Father and Mother

(A door opens.)

Click clack…creak—

Mashu           The teacher, my Papa, and my Mama all encouraged me when I wanted to run away from my entrance exams, so it sure was a crazy intense parents-teacher conference!

Hibiku            ……

What to Say; What Can’t be Said

(Minato, Takara, Soshu, Osei, Hibiku, and Mashu are leaving school.)

Osei                          Y’know, it sure is kinda weird to go home at this time of the day huh. Like we’re forgetting something?

Minato                     …Why’re club activities on break.

Soshu                       So that we can make time to study for our exams.

Soshu                       Got it? You’ll end up being the only one taking a break from band for the whole of summer if you fail, Minato.

Minato                     !? I don’t want that; I definitely don’t want that!
