The Sunshine after the Rain 4

Kanata: ... ♪

oh. good afternoon anzu-san.

what is wrong? you are being rather clingy...

it will cause problems if you keep leaning on me because i do not do well in the heat~ urgh, i am so hot.

it is already Summer you know. i am happy about how high the Humidity is at least.

but i do not Like the Heat at all~ it wears me out and makes me too tired.

ryuseitai is also going to Perform in the tanabata festival~

so i am not Allowed to take a Bath and so i cannot cool off.

we are going to change into Costumes later so i Think it should be okay if i get wet~

but apparently it would be Bad if i caught a cold.

anzu-san? it makes me sad that you will not respond to me. you must be very tired~ here i will comfort you. there there, you have been a very good girl... ♪

fufu. thank you for always Working so hard. you seem to have had a very Difficult time with this~

but because of your effort a large crowd has gathered.

everyone is Smiling and having a lot of fun. it is brighter and more sparkling here than the entire Milky Way~ ♪

it is very different from Tanabata last year.

so much fun~ anzu-san, let us float together on the Milky Way ♪

hm? you are too Short to see the Stage over the Crowd?

i will pick you up then~ now can you see?

yes right now akatsuki and ra*bits are engaged in a live Battle.

it seems like the Voting is about to end.

they are each wearing Costumes that make them resemble orihime and hikoboshi...

it feels more like a Date than a Battle~ ♪

watching them makes me happy. getting along with your friends is the most important thing... ♪

Wataru: “Ladies and gentlemen! How are you today?”

“I, Hibiki Wataru, have taken it upon myself to host this event. Now, take a look! The first round of the Tanabata Festival has come to its spectacular conclusion!”

“The votes are in, so this Hibiki Wataru will announce them!”

“Will Team Right Hand claim the glory of victory, or will it be Team Bunny?!”

Keito: Just call us by our unit names.

Wataru: “Fufufu, that was quite rude of me! Here we have the faithful confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, the man who reigns from the top of the mountain—”

“Led by Hasumi... Something-or-Other who boasts about being the right-hand man, give it up for Akatsuki! This is a showdown between them and Ra*bits!”

“For the record, I am His Majesty the Emperor’s left-hand man, and your Hibiki Wataru! Please keep both of us in mind!”

“And allow me to say it just once more: I am your Hibiki Wataru... ☆”

Keito: You’re advertising yourself too much. And it’s irritating that you can’t even remember my name.

Quit calling me the right-hand man over and over again; the audience is going to start thinking that’s my name!

Kuro: Hey, chill out, Danna. And put that bow down, too. You might end up firing the arrow by mistake.

If you accidentally hit someone in the audience, that’ll be it for the Tanabata Festival and Yumenosaki and your entire life, got it?

Keito: I know that. It’s fine. I’m perfectly calm. Right, Kanzaki?

Souma: Hum? Why turnst thou the conversation to me?! I know not what to say with such short notice...!

It is without doubt that Hasumi-dono is alway calm and collected! I admire him ☆

Keito: Thanks. Anyway, Hibiki... I’ve already said this before, but your hot-air balloon is blocking out view of the Milky Way.

It’s fine to be loud and have fun, but at least do it from the ground.

Wataru: “Oh, you wound me! I quite like being so high up!”

“If that bothers you, then by all means, try to pull me down. But if I may be frank, I’d rather keep this vantage point so that I may continue filming you!”

“See? It’s a perfect angle, isn’t it? Smile for the camera, Tomoya-kun! Say cheese ☆”

Tomoya: What are you, my dad?! Jeez, just go back to work, you Masked Pervert...!^[1]

I told you to stop talking to me! I don’t want people thinking we know each other!

Hajime: Now, now... calm down, Tomoya-kun. Here, sniff my sachet.

Nazuna: He’s right. You’re on stage right now, so pay attention to your audience.

Everyone’s all excited ‘cause it’s a festival... Even Akatsuki’s kind of cutting loose ♪

Mitsuru: Wahoo! That’s awesome! The view must be sick from that balloon!

I’m so jealoussss! I wanna climb up there too! And juuuump ☆

Kuro: Wait a s—don’t jump on me... It was fine this time ‘cause it’s just me, but normal people wouldn’t be able to support you. You’d end up breakin’ their neck.

And ‘sides, we’ve been fighting against each other this whole time. You ain’t even nervous at all, are ya? Damn kid... ♪

Tomoya: Ahaha. You look like you’re having the time of your life riding on Kiryuu-senpai’s shoulders ♪

Wataru: “Tomoya-kun, Tomoya-kun! My shoulders are quite free, as well!”

“If you’re jealous, you may come up here at any point! Ascend to my great heights! Creep ever higher—Amazing... ☆”

Tomoya: I told you to get back to work, Masked Pervert! Weren’t you going to announce the results of the live showdown?!
