| Izumi: Naru?... Oh, it's you, Anzu. I've been training with Naru to prepare for the Live. So I thought it would be Naru. The performance is approaching. We must take it seriously and get fully prepared... |
|
| Anzu: "Euthanasia", is it?(【euthanasia】ですか) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: Yep. What a weird, hard-to-pronounce or memorize name—It's far from a name of taste. Naru even looked it up in a dictionary and explained it to me while we were training... More duel names appear as new members join Knights. But can we really take this as an indicator of our expansion? |
|
| Izumi: Yeah, what a ridiculous name. So far, the names of Knights' duels have been quite straightforward, but Kuma decided to go for a weird one this time. I'll live with it just as a name for this one time, and I won't let them use it again. |
|
| Anzu: The Live will start soon?(もうすぐ本番なんですね) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: I wondered what Kuma was thinking when he proposed the duel, but at this point, the only thing we could do was to face the Live. ... It still pisses me off when I think of what he did. Even if it was a toy gun, pointing it at my face was unacceptable! I failed to speak up because I was overwhelmed by his temper at the moment. But I will say something once everything is over. Otherwise, I can't let this go. |
|
| Izumi: Yeah. Time flies... I didn't come back for dueling... How did we end up like this? Though it is the way of Knights to treat fighting as part of our idol activities. |

| Izumi: I just told you I've been training with Naru lately, remember? Actually, it's been a while since I did something with Naru last time. Ever since I took Leo overseas, I've felt like I'm dealing with a child who needs to be taken care of all the time... So I felt a bit out of place staying with someone considerate like Naru. |
|
| Anzu: What did you two talk about?(何か話しましたか?) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: I saw Naru's cat, which was said to be "as cute as Arashi Narukami". I petted that cat in the dorm. It's indeed a pretty cat with beautiful fur patterns and a lovely face. But I don't think it looks like Naru... And after I said that, Naru smiled and accused I was mean. |
|
| Izumi: Then Naru even asked me to buy certain cosmetics the next time I came back from Italy. I'm not an errand boy, so I said, "why don't you just come and buy them yourself?" But if that's the case, I'll have to be the tour guide... Sounds like I'm bringing trouble upon myself. |
|
| Anzu: But you look happy.(そう言いつつ楽しそうです) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: I'm not happy. I just feel relaxed after the small talk with Naru. We have some shared interests like fashion and beauty, and we're both in the industry, so we naturally have many things to talk about. Sometimes we even talk about the past. But I hope Naru can stop making fun of me about what happened in the past. |
|
| Izumi: What? What are you talking about? Naru should be the one who's happy. Well, I guess Naru wanted to talk to others about what happened. For me, the chat was not bad. Naru also mentioned life at school and in the dorm. I could tell that things were all going well. That's great enough, right? |

| Izumi: What do I want to do after that Live named "Euthanasia"...? I can't answer that before we have a result. Well, we can't just do nothing and chat in the studio, so it might be a good idea to think about what to do next. Anyways, what do you think the five of us should do? |
|
| Anzu: Hanging out together?(みんなで遊びに行くとか?) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: We could only go out after the Live. So the best choice should be somewhere for us to recharge our batteries. Italy is also famous for its volcanos[sic] and hot springs. The locals often go to hot spring baths, and some even drink hot spring water. So it might be nice to invite them to Florence and visit some hot spring resorts together. |
|
| Izumi: A theme park? I don't want to be the one parenting them in a theme park. Leo would surely disappear in the blink of an eye, and Kasa would buy all the food within his sight, and I would have to stop him. As for Kuma, I couldn't just leave him sleeping on a random bench, and Naru... What are you laughing at, Anzu? |
|
| Anzu: Having a meal together?(みんなでご飯を食べるとか?) | |
|---|---|
| Izumi: Having a meal is not bad, but I should be the one in charge. None of them has good taste in picking restaurants. And it should better be a place for us to have a reflection meeting. If I don't make this arrangement, none of them would suggest that. I should look for some restaurants now. |
|
| Izumi: That's not different from what we usually do. Also, I don't think it's good to fill the room with snacks when we gather. These guys don't care about how many calories they eat, but I do. So I hope they can care about my feelings. |
