nebulancer | Afternoon Emperor

Eichi: Hey, Transfer Student-chan.

What a coincidence to see you here. It must be some kind of destiny that we're pulled together...♪

Wait. I'd prefer if you didn't back away like that. I wonder if that's how to use "backing away" correctly?

For some reason, it's somewhat difficult for me to use the sayings of young ones...♪ That's but a light joke.

More importantly, I'm quite interested in you; however, in your eyes, you must see me as the sworn enemy who pulled apart your comrades, scattering them.

There's no helping that you hate me. But I am rather lonely.

Well, you have a more "straightforward" personality than I expected, so maybe you might not have such prolonged enmity...?

Whoops, my apologies for observing you so closely. It must not feel good to have the depths of your heart being searched. How rude of me.

Let's make this a bit more intimate conversation♪

Nonetheless, someone such as the Student Council President seems to have the job of searching one's true intentions, after all.

As such, it must have become a habit of mine to peer within someone's soul during a tete-a-tete...♪ Not very good of me; I'll reflect, I'll reflect.

Possibly because I've been hospitalized for so long, it looks as if I can't quite grasp a sense of distance with others. My deepest apologies if I've damaged the mood.

Even if you receive a needless misconception, it would be boring. I want to be someone with the air of a Student Council President who loves everyone, according to my attitude.

By the way, Transfer Student-chan, how do you make this vending machine called thing work? See, over there. In the corner of that purchasing department...

Somehow, this piece of machinery is able to sell food without humans, or so it seems. I've been rather interested since some time ago.

My, how splendid. This is a gem born of human technology, reducing the cost of labor and selling products with great efficiency. I admire it.

You all purchase drinks with this, correct?

I, too, want to challenge it once. I've moved my legs all the way here to this purchasing department for this reason.

My surroundings are always being followed, after all. If I were to say something around the lines of, "My throat's dry," someone would bring tea to me.

Isn't such a thing so one-sided? I thought that too, so I shook free from those who were following me and ran away here.

I ran quite a bit, and my throat's dry now, so I thought it a good opportunity to acquaint myself with a vending machine.

I want to get close to the general masses, so I familiarize myself with that culture. It's necessary for those who are idol-ing to pay attention to the movement of the streets, after all.

If I were to just be cocky, I would be a naked king.

I'm Yumenosaki Academy's "Emperor," but the throne is rather lonely and seems cold, far away from the people.

Spending my days with modern customs- no, with the warmth of humans, is something I want to do. If it's not a bother, could you cooperate?

I am the enemy of you all, and I am conscious that this is an ill-mannered request. However, the higher the wall climbs, to overcome that means one shall reap greater experience and benefit.

That's how it is. To those who defeat evil monsters, valuable treasures shall be rewarded.

This is an action performed for your sakes, if you were to see it long-term. It's an investment towards all your futures.

I will become even stronger. I will become an even greater, even more unconquerable powerful enemy, to once again stand to hinder your ways.

When that time comes, I don't want to see my enemies, cute as you are, to show me your unsightly selves. Somehow, I'd like you to sympathize with these feelings of mine.

It's not as if you're exclusive to "Trickstar," are you not?

I want you to stretch out a helping hand to all idols who are in trouble, "Producer"-chan♪

Oh. You're going to lend me your power? You have my thanks. You're quite the kind child.

Could it be, that although you're still going along with my speech, you have become "fed up" with me?

Hm. I see, you choose the drink you want, then place coins in. How simple, and it's a sophisticated system. I understand.

So everyone purchases drinks this way...♪

Transfer Student-chan, I wonder if you have anything you want to drink. I don't know if it can be much in the way of thanks, but... this payment will be for you, so you may purchase whichever you want.

If possible, I'd like you to teach me your recommended drinks. Simply by looking at the packages, I lose understanding of each and every drink.

I apologize for making you handle anything and everything, but I leave it to you.

Oh my, this is black tea, is it not. I'll choose this then, I'm so excited...♪

Hm. I'm sorry, Transfer Student-chan, but just how do you open up this can? Are there tea leaves inside here?

Hm, so you drink it as it is. Pull the tab, twist it...

Oh, there appears a hole that's easy to drink from? How splendid, it's the work of an artisan.

Aah, the taste is never bad. It's being replenished: my throat, my heart and body as well. Ah, a great harvest of experience has come from this...♪

Going along this way, I'll continue forward day by day. Thus, I'll rise again to the throne I was pulled down from and be able to greet and attack you all head-on.

I'm looking forward to that day, even now.

You must be "excited" as well, Transfer Student-chan♪
