Characters: Kaoru, Tomoya, Hiiro, Chiaki

 

<A couple days later. The day of the hero show>

 

 

Tomoya: “I’ve found you, Phantom Scorpio!”

 

Kaoru: “Ahaha ♪ I see you’re as stupid as ever, Rabiranger.”

 

“You didn’t “find” me. I let myself get caught on purpose. Here ya go, little soldier…♪”

 

Tomoya: “Uwaa!? He blocked my line of vision with a deck of cards…”

 

Hiiro: “ I’m Spade - Hiiro Amagi! Who was it who summoned me?”

 

Kaoru: “Here, he~re. It was me, Spade-chan♪. This card is my proof.” 

 

“Sorry to ask this of you right off the bat, but could you beat up that boy over there?”

 

Hiiro: “Of course! I’ll follow your orders!”

 

“Ha!”

 

Tomoya: …Oops. I almost got hit there. 

 

Hiiro: It’s okay. I’ve gotten used to the way you move. 

 

No matter what kinds of improvisation you come up with, I promise I won’t hurt you.

 

Tomoya: You were saying stuff like that during rehearsal as well… Is it okay if I try coming at you as if I was seriously trying to punch you?

 

Flashy battles are one of the main selling points for hero shows after all.

 

Hiiro: Yup! Place your trust in me and come at me with all your might!

 

Tomoya: “Taaaaaah!”

 

Kaoru: (Woah, Hiiro-kun fell to his knees after getting punched.)

 

(Or so I thought, but he got up and is running at Tomoya-kun!?)

 

(That just now wasn’t in the script. The two of them are good at ad-libbing.)

 

Hiiro: “That won’t work on me!”

 

Kaoru: (Their fight is evenly matched. The children can’t take their eyes off the thrilling battle.)

 

(It was the right call to ask Hiiro-kun to help us out… N?)

 

Chiaki: …! (Sending Kaoru a mysterious signal)

 

Kaoru: (What on earth is he doing… He’s moving his hands around like crazy, but I have no idea what he’s trying to say.)

 

(Anyhow. Since Moricchi made it on time it means we’re moving on to “Plan C”.)

 

(I’ll need to send the signal to Tomoya-kun and Hiiro-kun, let’s see-)

 

“Ahahah! Ca~ught you~✰”

 

Tomoya: “Hokuto-senpai!? That’s playing dirty, Phantom Scorpio!”

 

Kaoru: “Fufun. Playing dirty is what us villains are all about. Thank you for the compliment ♪”

 

“Your power… or was it strength? Your heroic energy comes from this penguin, doesn’t it? If I take him away, it’s over for you~”

 

“Fare well, Rabiranger…♪”

 

Tomoya: “Darn, I can’t let things end here. I don’t want it to end…!”

 

Chiaki: “Ah, this doesn’t have to be the end! Your story is only beginning! -Hah!”

 

“The red flames are the mark of justice! Burning bright red like the sun of life!”

 

“Heroes always show up late! Ryusei Red, Morisawa Chiaki…✰”

 

Kaoru: “Tch, so he showed up… I’m counting on you, Soldier-san!”

 

Hiiro: “Hm? Which one should I target? If you don’t give me proper orders, I can’t fulfill them.”

 

Kaoru: “Just play that by ear-”

 

Chiaki: “Do it now”

 

Kaoru: “What!?”

 

Chiaki: “Fuhaha! I’ve rescued Hokuto-senpai ✰”

 

“Hokuto-senpai! Assist me in sending Rabiranger hero energy!”

 

“All you little ones too, please help us cheer on Rabiranger! One~, two!”

 

“Do your best~! Rabiranger~!”

 

Tomoya: “Woooooooah! My strength is returning! Take this, my ultimate attack: Rabbits Shot!”

 

Kaoru: “Kgh… Retreat! Remember this, I’ll definitely return for payback one day!”

 

Hiiro: “Please wait, Phantom Scorpio! Please give me your orders before leaving!”

 

Chiaki: “It’s a victory for justice! All you little ones, thank you for the support!”

 

Tomoya: “It seems you’ve enjoyed yourselves, which makes me happy! Thank you so much for today!”

 

<Evening that day>

 

Kaoru: It’s already evening, huh. I wonder if it’s because I’ve done something out of character, but I’m super tired.

 

Hiiro: Are you okay? Should I carry you back to the dormitory?

 

Kaoru: Thank you for the offer, but no thank you.

 

Thank you for today as well, Hokuto-senpai-chan. The show was even more hype thanks to you.

 

Apparently, some of the children had never seen a penguin before, it was a good decision for you to come along.

 

Hiiro: Hm. Hokuto-senpai just bowed his head, I wonder what that means?

 

Tomoya: Isn’t he saying “You’re welcome”? Though it might be “Today was tiring”...

 

Either way, you sure worked hard today~, good boy good boy…♪

 

Kaoru: That reminds me, the two of you sure went above and beyond today. When you started doing stunts that weren’t in the script you really surprised me.

 

I could tell how much you wanted the kids to have fun, it was exhilarating.

 

Tomoya: Ahaha… sorry for going off script like that. I was inspired by Amagi and ended up getting carried away. 

 

Kaoru: Not at all. It turned into a great lesson in ad-libbing for me.

 

Why, Tomoya-kun just keeps on teaching me more and more~. Maybe I should start calling you Tomoya-sensei from now on ♪

 

Tomoya: Oh stop it with that. I’m still nowhere near…

 

Oh, a boy in a wheelchair is coming over here with a nurse. I wonder if he has anything to ask of us?

 

Chiaki: You are… As I thought, you’re the one who sent me that letter.

 

Umu! We came to cheer you on as you fight against your illness ✰. Did you watch the hero show?

 

Kaoru: (Ahaha. That boy looks so excited. I guess that’s to be expected since he finally met the hero he looked up to.)

 

Chiaki: …Nn? You want to talk to Phantom Scorpio?

 

Gotcha. Hakaze, you’re up!

 

Kaoru: Hey now. Would you mind not revealing my true identity like that?

 

Just ki~dding♪

 

Good evening. What did you want to talk about?

 

“I’ve never seen such a cool enemy” you say? You’ve always admired heroes, but you wouldn’t mind becoming a villain if you could become like me? 

 

Ahaha. Looks like I’ve managed to steal your heart.

 

 

I heard you have surgery tomorrow. Stay strong, okay?

 

…Yeah. Once you feel better, let’s cause some mischief that won’t make anyone mad at you.

 

Pinky promise, it’s a promise just between the two of us…♪

 

Tomoya: …Wow, woah.

 

Kaoru: Was that so pretentious that you couldn’t bear watching?

 

Tomoya: Nope, it’s the opposite! You were speaking from the heart just now, weren’t you? Amazing.

 

That’s impossible for me. I couldn’t come up with words like that in the spur of the moment. I’ve learned something new~ Ahaha.

 

Kaoru: Ah, that was fun. Hero shows aren’t like me at all.

 

But every now and then, doing stuff like this isn’t too bad… ♪
