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.)
TaichiOmi-kun, good morning!
OmiGood morning.
TaichiHuh, you look kind of refreshed. Did you sleep well?
OmiYeah. 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.
IzumiEveryone, are you all ready?
BanriOK~!
TaichiOK!
JuzaYup.
SakyoNo problems
IzumiThen next, one by one ――
OmiWait, before that ――
Autumn Troupe, form a circle!
Banri――.
TaichiWe're forming a circle.
SakyoIt's the first time the Autumn Troupe's formed a circle.
JuzaNow that you mention it, that's true......
Omi......Alright.
Banri! Juza! Taichi! Sakyo! Let's go at full strength from the opening performance!
BanriYeah!
JuzaYes!
TaichiYeahh!
SakyoOf course!
Also, don't lose the honorifics.
BanriDon't sweat the small stuff, Sakyo-san.
TaichiAhaha!
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."
IzumiWhile Zero and Wolf get a little closer, an informant 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"――"
