| Kumon | —So we started a game tournament at Itaru-san’s place. The team battles got so heated! It was such a close game. |
| Azami | .... |
| Kumon | You should join us next time, Azami—. |
| Azami | .... |
| (I thought shithead Sakyo didn’t care about my dream....) |
| Kumon | —Azami, behind you! |
| Azami | Eh? |
| *Car skidding* |
| —hh. |
| |
| Sakyo | These expenses look fine. |
| Izumi | Agreed. |
| Sakyo | Then let’s hand the rest to Matsukawa—. |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san, have you talked to Azami-kun? |
| Sakyo | —Not yet. |
| Izumi | Make sure you talk to him today. |
| Sakyo | ...I know. |
| *Phone ringing* |
| Izumi | ? It’s from Kumon-kun. |
| Hello? |
| Kumon | “Director, what should I do!?” |
| Izumi | What’s wrong? |
| Kumon | “I’m at the hospital right now, and, I don’t know what to do—.” |
| Izumi | Huh? What? Calm down—. |
| Kumon | “Azami...! Azami was in a car accident...!” |
| Izumi | Eh!? Azami-kun got into a car accident...!? |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| Kumon | “The car just came spinning towards him and—! I called an ambulance and—!” |
| Izumi | Where’s the hospital? |
| Kumon | “Veludo Hospital....” |
| Izumi | —Veludo Hospital. Got it. Stay with Azami-kun, Kumon-kun. We’ll be right there. |
| Sakyo | —hh. |
| Izumi | Sakyo-san!? Are you all right!? |
| Sakyo | I’m fine, I just tripped—. |
| Izumi | You’re stepping on your glasses! |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| Izumi | Please calm down! |
| Azami-kun is at Veludo Hospital. Let’s hurry. |
| Sakyo | I’ll get the car—. |
| Izumi | Your glasses are cracked! |
| You won’t be able to see. I’ll drive—. |
| Sakyo | —Y-yeah, thanks. |
| |
| Izumi | Excuse me! |
| Nurse | Yes? |
| Izumi | Where is Izumida Azami’s room—. |
| Sakoda | This way, aniki~! |
 |
| Sakyo | ——. |
| Azami | .... |
| Izumi | Azami-kun!? I heard you were in an accident—are you all right!? |
| Azami | I just scraped my arm against the wall when I dodged it. It’s just a scratch. |
| Sakyo | A scratch.... |
| Kumon | D-Director, Sakyo-san, I’m sorry! I kinda panicked, and.... |
| Izumi | What about the driver? |
| Kumon | They just drove off without a word.... |
| Izumi | What? |
| Azami | Well, it’s not like they ran me over, so. |
| Izumi | But you were injured, so we need to file a damage report.... |
| Azami | It’s fine. It’s not a serious injury anyway. |
| Sakyo | How can you say that!? |
| Azami | ——. |
| Sakoda | A-Aniki, calm down. Azami’s the victim here—. |
| Sakyo | They still injured you. We’re going to make them pay. |
| Azami | .... |
| Sakyo | ...Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe. |
| Azami | ...What happened to your glasses? |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Izumi | He dropped them when he panicked and stumbled, and then he stepped on them and broke them. |
| Azami | What? |
| Sakyo | You don’t need to tell him. |
| Azami | ...Also, you look kinda shabby. |
| Sakyo | Shut up. That doesn’t matter right now. |
| Azami | ...Why are you panicking? That’s not like you. Pathetic. |
| Sakyo | ...Am I not allowed to worry about you? Do I no longer have that right? |
| Azami | ——. |
| Sakoda | ...Do you get it now, Azami? There’s no way aniki doesn’t care about you. |
| Azami | ...Y-yeah? I bet you’re having so much fun now that you don’t remember anything from before. |
| Sakoda | Come on, Azami, you know that’s not true—. |
| Azami | Y-you probably forgot all the Jin-Gi-Oh card effects, too. |
| Izumi | Jin-Gi-Oh cards...? |
| Sakyo | Pff.... |
| Kumon | What’s that? |
| Sakyo | I bet you forgot. I can recite them all. |
| Azami | ...Then what about the [ Guardian of the Jingi Woods ]? |
| Sakyo | ATK 2500, DEF 1700. When sent to the graveyard, choose two cards from the opponent’s deck to destroy. |
| Izumi | Jingi Woods...? |
| Kumon | Guardian...? |
| Azami | [ Black-bladed Bullet ]? |
| Sakyo | ATK 1700, DEF 800. Halves an opponent monster’s attack till the end of the turn. |
| Izumi | Black-bladed??? |
| Kumon | Sounds cool! What is that!? |
| Azami | [ Ice Dagger-Wielder ] |
| Sakyo | ATK 1500, DEF 1000. All trap cards that target this card are nullified and destroyed. |
| Sakoda | Amazing, aniki! You got them all right! |
| Izumi | Sakoda-san, what are those cards? |
 |
| Kumon | Handmade trading cards...? |
| Sakoda | Aniki and Azami made them together way back when. |
| Sakyo | Around the time bon was in elementary school. Azami drew the pictures, and I wrote the effects. |
| Sakoda | Huh? But some of these look like they were written by someone else—. |
| Azami | Why do you remember something this stupid? |
| Sakyo | These cards hold a lot of memories, after all. I didn’t just play them with bon. |
| Azami | Memories? |
| Sakyo | ...Well. Director-san told me to speak to you, so I guess I should tell a pathetic story from my past every once in a while. |
| The cards I made with you were second generation. The first person I made cards with was... my mother. |
