| The sound of the wind in my ears. |
| The feeling of the sweat-soaked grip, the pressure around my entirety; they're all things I'm used to. They feel good. |
| Next to me, it's the usual him. |
| "Oi, Omi. Come on, you. Don't go ahead and try to turn our legend into a dark past." |
| Without waiting for my response, Nachi changed gear and sped up. |
| I too put my finger on the clutch without hesitation. |
| "『Wolf』is the strongest, right?" |
| "Yeah, the strongest. That won't change." |
| We sped up further. |
| I caught up to Nachi's nose. I overtook him in one go. |
| "Act with all your strength. Ride your bike too. And take pictures!" |
| I could hear Nachi shouting behind me. His voice spurred me on. |
| My bike sped up steadily. |
| It was just as if I was becoming one with the wind. |
| "Even if I was the reason, who cares about that!" |
| "Do it all for yourself and for the guys you love!" |
| "Just like back then! That's the reason you and I were able to live strongly!" |
| I felt Nachi's voice grow distant at my back. |
| As I was about to turn around to confirm it, Nachi's yell stopped me. |
| "Don't turn back! Keep looking ahead and speed on!" |
Omi | ――. |
| (......Don't turn back, huh. That's right.) |
Taichi | Omi-kun, good morning! |
Omi | Good morning |
Taichi | Huh, you look kind of refreshed. Did you sleep well? |
Omi | Yeah. I had a good dream. |
| (After the play finishes, I'll go develop the photos for the album. And while I'm at it, I'll develop the old films too.) |
| (I was scared of facing that time. I avoided facing Nachi from that time straight on.) |
| (But......there's no point doing that sort of thing. The one looking through the viewfinder then was me.) |
| (Back then, I was with Nachi. And with my friends ――. The past won't change. I am, sins and all, myself.) |
| (I can't avert my eyes from it. And I don't need to.) |
| (Thanks to Nachi ―― Thanks to my past, I am now able to stand on stage with everyone in the Autumn Troupe.) |
| |
Announcement | ―― The play will begin shortly. |
Izumi | Everyone, are you all ready? |
Banri | OK~! |
Taichi | OK! |
Juza | Yup. |
Sakyo | No problems |
Izumi | Then next, one by one ―― |
Omi | Wait, before that ―― |
| Autumn Troupe, form a circle! |
Banri | ――. |
Taichi | We're forming a circle. |
Sakyo | It's the first time the Autumn Troupe's formed a circle. |
Juza | Now that you mention it, that's true...... |
Omi | ......Alright. |
| Banri! Juza! Taichi! Sakyo! Let's go at full strength from the opening performance! |
Banri | Yeah! |
Juza | Yes! |
Taichi | Yeahh! |
Sakyo | Of course! |
| Also, don't lose the honorifics. |
Banri | Don't sweat the small stuff, Sakyo-san. |
Taichi | Ahaha! |
| |
Izumi | (At the start, Wolf finds Zero collapsed and dying......) |
Wolf | "Do you want to die?" |
Zero | "Who are you? A death god?" |
Wolf | "If you want to die, I'll do that instantly for you. I hate suicidal guys so much it makes me want to kill them." |
Zero | "......I want to live. I don't want to die like this." |
Wolf | "Then rise. If you lie there like that, you'll die of dehydration." |
Zero | "You're not going to help me?" |
Wolf | "I helped you, didn't I?" |
Zero | "How? You just dragged me along with your bike." |
Wolf | "If you'd stayed on the ground there, you'd certainly have died. It's good that you got up." |
Zero | "Demon! Devil! You can at least take me to the town, right!?" |
Wolf | "Why do I have to do that sort of thing." |
Izumi | (As Wolf tries to casually abandon her, her pursuer John appears......) |
John | "Hand over that child." |
Wolf | "Come and get her yourself. She's got no connection to me." |
John | "I see. Then die." |
Wolf | "――ngh." |
John | "Ah!" |
Wolf | "Tch......!" |
Izumi | (John's attacks of unparalleled accuracy, and Wolf's attacks of senseless fury. The two of them have good physical ability, so they're performing the difficult fight scene well.) |
| (They're used to fights, they've got a commanding air, and they have good bodies, so it looks impressive. It's cool.) |
| (The Autumn Troupe's strong point is definitely action!) |
John | "The existence of this child cannot be made known." |
Wolf | "Damn it, then I'm using her as a hostage." |
Izumi | (Wolf runs away with Zero as his hostage......The sweetness is gone from Omi-kun and he's expressing cruelty well.) |
Wolf | "Tch, my bike's done for. You plague." |
Zero | "Help me. I'll pay any fee." |
Wolf | "Where's that going to come from?" |
Zero | "......Look." |
Wolf | "Huuh? I've got no interest in a brat's body." |
Zero | "And this?" |
Wolf | "――. Where'd you get your hands on that." |
Izumi | (What Zero showed him were countless seeds......They're rare items in this world where plants have died out.) |
| (While suspicious of this partner who holds valuable seeds, Wolf accepts the role of her bodyguard." |
| (The girl with no memory takes on the name of Zero, and the two of them set of on the bike together......) |
Dom | "She escaped, you say? Hurry up and catch her. The world is ending." |
John | "I'll chase after them immediately." |
Izumi | (The secret conversation between the pursuers in the lab......A suspicious shadow approaches Wolf and Zero......) |
Nine | "Don't get involved with her. You're asking to be destroyed. I won't say anything bad, so hurry up and hand her over to her pursuers." |
Wolf | "Unfortunately, I hate following orders so much it makes me want to throw up." |
Izumi | (Through exchanging verbal blows, Wolf becomes the bodyguard of Zero, who is the security on the seeds.) |
Zero | "Wolf, I think I wanted to see the world. I always wanted to go outside." |
Wolf | "Good for you, then. To the right, and to the left, your garbage world." |
Zero | "That's not true. You're in it." |
Wolf | "Me? Me being in it changes nothing." |
Zero | "You're a 『seed』 of this world." |
Izumi | While Zero and Wolf get a little closer, an informer appears in the laboratory...... |
Nine | "It's Nine." |
Dom | "Nine? Ahh, that one. What do you want now." |
Nine | "I found the girl." |
Dom | "The girl? I see, good job. It's the first time you've been useful." |
Izumi | (On the other hand, Zero, who's completely warmed to Wolf, is thinking of getting a present for him while shopping in the marketplace.) |
Zero | "I'll give him a new cloak and throw away the old one. Wolf always stinks." |
Izumi | (Taichi's constant sociability is showing well in Zero's expression. Regardless of the fact that it's a female role, he's able to act it out in his own way.) |
John | "......Found you." |
Zero | "――ngh." |
| "Wolf!!" |
Wolf | "――" |
