Class Live - Chapter 9

Location: In front of the restaurant
- The day of the "Class Live" -

Subaru: Good morning!

Hokuto: Good morning, Akehoshi.

Subaru: ...whoops. Hey, Hokke~, why are you avoiding me? It's morning, let's hug~?

Hokuto: I can't follow your logic.
Hokuto: ...Good morning, Anzu. You're early as always.

Subaru: Anzu, good morning~☆

Natsume: OH? And here I thought I'd be the first oNE.

Subaru: Ah, it's Natsume! I'm glad you actually showed up~!

Natsume: You thought I'd skIP? How vexiNG. All the time I spent practicing would go to waste if I didn't show up to the real thiNG.

Subaru: Yeah, even though you were complaining the whole time, you never skipped out on practice after all.
Subaru: And you came here so early because you're actually really looking forward to having the live show with everyone, right?

Souma: Everyone, good morning.

Adonis: Good morning.

Subaru: Oh, Zaki-san and Occhan came together?

Souma: Yes. We happened to run into each other on the way here, and since we were heading to the same place we decided to come together.

Makoto: Huff, huff... Everyone was already gathered, so I panicked and dashed here as fast as I could!
Makoto: I didn't want to be late, so I left the house early, but somehow I ended up late anyway?

Hokuto: No, you're not late at all. In fact, you're 30 minutes early. Since we can get in early, why don't we relieve your anxieties a bit.

Subaru: ~.......☆

Hokuto: Hey, Akehoshi. Listen when others are speaking. Don't wander off. Really, are you a child?

Subaru: But you know~ I already thought this when we came to check this place out, but it's a really amazing building. I didn't know a restaurant like this existed.

Hokuto: It's a bit far from the school, and there's no busses or trains that run here. Because of that, there's not a lot of customer traffic.

Subaru: That's a shame. When we ate here the last time we came, it was all delicious too.
Subaru: The prices were reasonable too, so if they put some effort into advertising, I'm sure they could get a lot of customers...

Hokuto: Yeah, and that's what we're here for. Let's make this "Class Live" a success.

Subaru: Yes! Err, should we be heading to the live stage they built close to the restaurant?

Hokuto: That's the plan, but it seems they aren't done building it yet.
Hokuto: It seems there's an empty room on the second floor of the restaurant. We can borrow that for practice.

Makoto: Hmm....? Anzu-chan, is that your smartphone? Look, it's ringing.

Hokuto: Hm, let's talk quietly so we don't bother Anzu during her phone call.

Subaru: I wonder how many people will come~ We advertised with posters and handed out flyers, so I think a bunch of people should come.

Hokuto: I heard from Anzu that she reached out to a few of her aquaintances as well, so I think we can count on a lot of visitors.
Hokuto: Hm? What's wrong, Anzu? You're white as a sheet.... Did some problem come up?
Hokuto: Hmm, so you got a phone call from Hinata-kun saying there's already a lot of visitors crowding around the stage?

Subaru: Eh, but the live show is still a bit off, right? So why are they already here?

Hokuto: It seems the restaurant announced the wrong starting time for the event....
Hokuto: I don't like to let the guests wait, but as I said before, the preparations for the stage aren't finished yet.
Hokuto: We can't start the live show early, so what can we do...

Makoto: Uwah, Hinata-kun was right, I see people over there. It's quite the crowd. I can't believe this many people came already even though it's still so early...

Hokuto: That just proves how much they are looking forward to our live. ...Seems like we don't have a choice but to work something out that we can do while we wait for the stage preparations to be done.

Subaru: Hey, I have a good idea!
Subaru: The guests will enjoy it, and it'll serve to advertise the restaurant. That's the kind of good idea I have ♪

Class Live - Chapter 10

Location: Inside the restaurant

Subaru: Everyone~ May I have your attention for a moment!
Subaru: Err, first off, let me express my thanks. I appreciate that you took the time to come see our live show toda~y!
Subaru: I'm sure you're all really looking forward to it. I can tell, your sparkling smiles are the proof of that.....☆
Subaru: Now, there's something I must tell all of you. The truth is that the preparations for the stage are not finished yet.
Subaru: They're working as fast as they can, so until the preparations are done, we will be acting as staff of this restaurant and let you enjoy our "hospitality"!
Subaru: There's a lot of delicious food and sweets here, so I'll be happy if you can enjoy your time with us....♪

Hokuto: ...Hm, they're cheering loudly, almost as though we were standing on stage already.

Makoto: Yeah. The guests were a bit confused at first, but it's a good thing this didn't turn into a crisis.
Makoto: But to think that Akehoshi-kuns idea would be to work as restaurant staff and entertain the guests~
Makoto: I was surprised when he told us.

Hokuto: But it was a good proposal. Are the introductions to the guests finished? I left that area to Otogari and the others, but...

Hinata: Huff, I'm exhausted~! Give me some water, water~!

Hokuto: Good work, Hinata-kun. Looks like we drew a crowd.
Hokuto: ...Entertaining this many guests until the live show is going to be tough.

Hinata: This isn't the time to be whining, you know~?
Hinata: I lent you one of my uniforms, so there's no problem if I head into the kitchen now. That said, I'll leave it to you~!

Hokuto: Yeah. We're indebted to you in many ways, so I'll do my best and repay you for what you've done for us.

Natsume: I'll be taking your order, young laDY.

What's wroNG? The menu isn't written on my faCE. ...Eh, you're a fan, you sAY?

Hmm, you never miss one of "Switch"s live shoWS? Thank you, hearing that makes me hapPY.

You heard that I'll be performing in today's live, and that's why you came heRE.

WhooPS... You dropped your meNU. Since it seems like you have gotten nervoUS, I'll cast some magic on yOU.

Slowly close your eyes and take a deep breaTH... Did you relax a littLE?

This herbal tea has some relaxing propertiES, so I recommend IT ♪

Hokuto: ..........

Natsume: Hokke-kun? Don't just look my way the whole time and do your woRK.
Natsume: Look, the guest over there has been looking your way for a while nOW. They probably want you to serve their tabLE.

Hokuto: I was just thinking that you're unexpectedly good at dealing with women, Sakasaki.

Natsume: HM~, most of my customers as a fortune teller are women after aLL, so I'm used to IT.
Natsume: Hokke-kun, you may look like a perfect "prinCE", but it can't be said that you're good at dealing with women, rigHT?

Hokuto: Yeah. People are often disappointed because I am not like the person they imagined me to be.
Hokuto: Well, recently I've been told that this gap is actually a good thing... Errr, is this the guest who was calling for me?

Natsume: YeAH. If you don't hurRY, Baru-kun is going to take their order before you cAN.
Natsume: You learned from watching me, rigHT? I wish you good luCK, Hokke-kUN...♪

Class Live - Chapter 11

Hinata: Hmhmhmm~....♪
Hinata: Sorry for the wait! This caesar salad is for table 5, and the fruit tarte for table 1!

Souma: I apologize for my tardiness! As it turned out, the elderly lady at the table I was setting up has a granddaughter my age...
Souma: I tried to restrain myself, but got pulled into quite the long conversation regardless!
Souma: As an apology, I shall commit seppuku...

Hinata: That aside, the caesar salad and fruit tarte!

Souma: U- understood! I, Kanzaki Souma, am on my way......!

Hinata: Fu fu fu, being able to order my senpai around sure is fresh~♪ Sorry, Kanzaki-senpai! But as long as we're here, I'm the one who's the "senpai"!

How are things on your end, Anzu-san? I'm sorry we're making you wash the dishes.

Hm, you're completely fine with it? Ahaha, you're so reliable~♪

But you know, I think this is the first time since this place opened that we had so many guests at once. The owner was really surprised, too~

They're really looking forward to the live! And I'm looking forward to it as well, so I'm praying everything is gonna go well~♪

Souma: What shall I bring next!!

Hinata: Uwawa, that was super fast! As expected of Kanzaki-senpai!
Hinata: This isn't the time for me to be chatting away with Anzu-san, sorry! Wait for a moment, I'm gonna whip up the next dishes!

Souma: Hm, seems like I have some time on my hands. Anzu-dono, shall I help you with the dish washing?

The guests are here to be entertained by the "aidorus", so you wish for me to devote myself to waiting the tables...?

Very well. If Anzu-dono wishes for it, I shall prove that I can work as hard as five men.

Fufu. This is also going to become a fond memory with our "kurasumeitos".

Anzu-dono, you don't need to interrupt your work, but I'd like you to hear me out. ...I am deeply grateful to you for what you have done for me.

The other day, when I was escorting you to the station, and was so worried about the Repayment Fes that I couldn't enjoy myself from the bottom of my heart...

Anzu-dono, you were the one who made me understand how important my memories with my "kurasumeitos" are.

...I understood that by myself, you say? Fufu. It may look that way to you, but if I hadn't spoken with Anzu-dono at that time, I 
would not have realized it.

Awkward as I am, I believed I could only focus on one thing at a time...

But I could do it if I tried, or rather, once I tried it it was so much fun I couldn't help myself.

Having "ressuns" with my "kurasumeitos", and the sleepover at school... Truly, they have become dear memories to me.....♪

...Looks like we are out of time to talk. It seems like the next dishes are ready to be brought to the tables.

Hinata: Beef stew for tables 3, 11 and 13, carpaccio for tables 4 and 8! Tiramisu for tables 10 and 15! And I have lots more~!

Souma: Hmm, this is...! I can't carry this many dishes all by myself.

Adonis: Kanzaki.

Souma: Ohh, Adonis-dono! You came just at the right moment!

Adonis: Seems like there are a lot of dishes that need to be brought out. Leave it to me, I'll carry them all at once.

Souma: No, you don't need to do that. I want you to split the workload with me.



Souma: Well then, Anzu-dono. Since my reliable savior has arrived, I'll be returning to my work.
Souma: Let's both do your best. Ei, ei, oh....♪

Subaru: Sorry for the wait~! Here's today's dessert set!

Hokuto: Akehoshi, your keigo* has been collapsing bit by bit.

Subaru: Uu~, that's cause I'm no good at using keigo. That aside, doesn't it feel like we're getting more and more guests?
Subaru: This place is pretty big, so there's still seats open, but if this goes on people might have to wait.

Hokuto: I've overheard some of the guests talking, and it seems like someone spread the rumour that we are working here today on the internet.

Subaru: Hmhm. So they've read about that and came here~ ...Ah, but it looks like they're also here for the live show.
Subaru: They're all like, "We need to tell our friends about this~"!

Hokuto: That's a good thing. ...Oh, this isn't the time for us to be standing around talking.
Hokuto: Yuuki is dealing with a lot of guests and looking at us with a face that says "Help me!"

Subaru: Ohh? Occhan and Zaki-san are carrying the dishes at an impressive speed!

Hokuto: Come on, let's also do our best.

Subaru: Yeah! Alright, let's go full power....☆

*Keigo: Polite Japanese speech. When Subaru held his speech earlier he was still using it, but he's slipping up by now.
 

Class Live - Chapter 12

Location: Class Live Stage

Subaru: Ohh~ there's so many people! Some of them are even standing! Is this the result of us working at the restaurant?

Hokuto: Yeah. Even though we expected to be able to fill the seats, even Anzu was surprised at just how many guests came.
Hokuto: That aside, Akehoshi, don't jump around so much. It's almost time for the live show, so if your clothes tear there's not time to fix them.

Subaru: But I'm so happy! It's the "class live" outfit that Anzu made~♪

Souma: Hm. The outfit this time has a refreshing color scheme. According to Anzu-dono, she made it with a spring-like "imeeji" (image) in mind.

Subaru: Spring, huh... It's been getting warmer lately, so it really feels like it has come.
Subaru: Hey, hey, once the cherry blossoms are in bloom, why don't we all go see them together? Even if our class gets split up, it doesn't matter! Let's sing and dance and get excited together~♪

Hokuto: Watching the cherry blossoms, huh. Don't remind me of the things that happened last year. ...When I think of how that season is going to come around again, I'm already sick of it.

Makoto: Fufu, the blossoms seem to be early this year, so once the new school year starts they might already be in full bloom.

Natsume: Baru-kun and the otheRS, how about instead of talking about next year we talk about the situation at haND.

Subaru: Sorry, sorry. Speaking of which~ who's gonna be in the center in the performance?
Subaru: Cause look, we have both the leader of "Trickstar" and the leader of "Switch" here.

Natsume: Didn't we decide on that during lessoNS? That we wouldn't have a center performER, and instead have everyone perform as equaLS.
Natsume: We're not participating as uniTS, and the end goal here is to make some memories with everyone from class anywAY.
Natsume: So wouldn't it be strange if we put a single person in the focUS?

Subaru: Ahahaha.....☆

Natsume: Baru-kUN? I didn't plan to say anything to make you burst out with laughtER, you knOW?

Subaru: Sorry! I wasn't laughing because you said anything funny, I was laughing because I'm happy!
Subaru: Natsume, when you just said that it really proved that you were looking forward to our live show the whole time ♪

Natsume: Uwoh, don't hug me like thAT. Shouldn't you save that energy for when we go up on staGE?

Subaru: I don't get tired from doing fun things like this! If anything, I get even more energetic! I wanna hurry and get on stage and sing already~♪

Hokuto: Rejoice, Akehoshi. The guests are calling for us. ...Let's go, everyone.

Subaru: "Hee~y! Ahaha, thanks for the thunderous applause.....♪"
Subaru: "We made you wait, but it's finally time for our live show! We prepared today's show together as classmates who get along~"
Subaru: "Let's start by having everyone introduce themselves!"
Subaru: "The first batter is me! The evening's first star of "Trickstar", Akehoshi Subaru~☆"

Hokuto: "I'm "Trickstar"s leader, Hidaka Hokuto."

Subaru: "This guy is also our class president. He might look serious, but he's actually a natural airhead sometimes!"

Makoto: "Hello~! I'm "Trickstar"s Yuuki Makoto!"

Subaru: "Also known as Ukki~! Ukki~ and me are famous at Yumenosaki as the idiot combo~♪"

Adonis: "I'm Otogari Adonis from "UNDEAD"."

Subaru: "Occhan may look scary, but he's a really good guy! When you hear him play his ocarina, you'll surely be entranced~♪"

Souma: "Eerrr, is it my turn? I am Kanzaki Souma from "Akatsuki"."

Subaru: "Zaki-san is good at cooking, and often treats us~♪ And speaking of Zaki-san... he often commits seppuku!"

Souma: "It has never really escalated that far, but I do always carry a sword with me. ...Since it's my... no, a warrior's soul."

Subaru: "And the last one is this guy! Sakasaki Natsume from "Switch"~!"

Natsume: Hey Baru-kUN, how come I'm the only one you introducED?

Subaru: Cause Natsume, you looked like you were about to start singing without doing a self-introduction. That's no good~ You're also one of our classmates, so you should match our pace♪"
Subaru: "Natsume also works as a fortune teller. I sometimes let him read my fortune~♪ Natsume is also one of our precious friends.....☆"
Subaru: "Hmm, I think we're done with introductions? But there's still an important friend I need to introduce you to... Ah, there she is! Anzu~!"



Subaru: "Everyone, turn around! She's our classmate and producer, Anzu!"

"She may not stand on stage with us, but she is a friend who always supports us!"

"I hope you'll all enjoy our sparkling live show! I'd be happy if you watched all the way to the end!"

"For us, that's the greatest reward.....☆"
