Season: Spring of ES! timeline
 
Location: Yumenosaki Infirmary
 
Characters: Chiaki, Jin 

<Some days later>
 
Chiaki: Excuuuuuse meeee!
 
Chiaki Morisawa, nay Ryusei Red… has entered the premises ✰

chiaki+jin
 
Jin: …Why are you this energetic. If you’re injured, act like it, Morisawa.
 
Chiaki: Yes! It’s as you say, Sagami-sensei, I’ll be more careful from now on!
 
Jin: At least you're responding properly. 
 
…Why are you in your unit outfit exactly. Did you have Ryuseitai activities since early in the morning?
 
Chiaki: Yup! We were doing “Good Morning Exercises” along the neighborhood school route!
 
Also, I’m so excited to have inherited the color red that I often wear this outfit even without any reason!
 
Jin: Huh. I’m guessing you only have one set of that outfit, so don’t go dirtying it too badly now.
 
Well, whatever… What’s wrong today, did the wound I treated the other day start hurting again?
 
Let me see for a bit. Sit down over there.
 
Chiaki: Yes! Ryusei Red, sitting down!
 
Jin: Your energy is gonna tire me out so please stop. Speak normally. You’re a high schooler already, so you should graduate from playing hero.
 
Chiaki: Fufun♪ That won’t be a problem, Sagami-sensei. I’m not “playing” after all!
 
Jin: That’s an even bigger problem, though… Hmm, your wound from the other day was around your knee, wasn’t it?
 
It appears you’ve pretty much healed, so what are you doing at the infirmary today? Skipping class?
 
The bell’s gonna ring any minute now, so make sure you go straight to your classroom, okay?
 
I have to close the infirmary and head on over to class 2-A soon too, or else the students will complain that I’m slacking off again.
 
…It might be too late to complain at this point, but why exactly am I a homeroom teacher when I’m also the school nurse anyways? Does Yumenosaki Academy have a teacher shortage or something?
 
Chiaki: Fufu. Sagami-sensei is so reliable, so people end up trusting you with important work. An “ally of justice” takes no days off ♪
 
Jin: No thank you, I’m not the type to be called an ally of justice, so I’d like to take days off.
 
…I could have declined the offer if I really didn’t want to do it, but I never was very good at telling people no.
 
Turning people’s favors down is pretty mentally exhausting in and of itself, after all.
 
So I prefer to say yes and work hard through the struggle on my own.
 
Chiaki: Fuhaha♪ As expected of Sagami-sensei, you’re so kind! So you can’t turn down people’s requests, huh, you really do possess heroic qualities!
 
No, that’s exactly what makes you a legendary hero… Ryusei Rainbow ✰
 
Jin: You’re the only one who still remembers that name. Y’know, if you want it, I’d gladly give you that stupid nickname any day of the week. 
 
Chiaki: No thank you, I wanna be red!
 
Jin: Is that so. Well, that color suits you… I’ll disinfect your wound, so shut up for a bit so you don’t bite your tongue.
 
Chiaki: …Mgh!?
 
Jin: There you go, your knee is disinfected. You should be fine to wear a bandaid instead of a bandage over it now, just make sure not to get it wet when bathing.
 
Chiaki: Yes, I’m well aware! I often get injured after all!
 
Jin: You really are always injured, aren’t you… Are you okay? You’re not being bullied or anything?
 
Chiaki: No, it’s because I’ve been doing more stunt work recently. I want to make connections with people in the industry, so I’m working on expanding my connections.
 
It seems like if I get along well with people on-set, more work might come for Ryuseitai as well, after all.
 
Jin: Hmm. Stunt work, huh. You’re an idol, you know, so you should be the one asking for a stunt man, not working as one.
 
You’re getting by with small injuries for now, but make sure you’re careful so the worst doesn’t happen.
 
Retiring due to an accident, illness or injury sometimes feels worse than losing your job because of messing up, you know.
 
Kunugi-sensei went through something like that, and he’s always bitching about it in the Izakaya. 
 
Chiaki: Oh, did he really? I’m not too familiar with Kunugi-sensei, so I had no idea!
 
Jin: Yup. Everyone should show more interest in Akiyan.
 
The general public sure is cruel, they won’t even give anyone the time of day unless they get the gold medal.
 
Especially people from outside the industry, I don’t think they recognize the fine details that go into niche parts of the idol industry at all.
 
Chiaki: Exactly! People who aren’t into Tokusatsu shows think that every Kamen R*der is the same Kamen R*der after all!
 
They don’t get what I’m talking about when I mention stuff like De*ade or A*azon!*
 
Jin: Actually, that’s pretty much where my knowledge stops as well. Just how many of those shows are there at this point, they’ve been creating too many Kamen R*ders… It sure is a dangerous world to live in for a villain.
 
Chiaki: Fufu. When you put it like that it makes it sound as if the villains are the ones being bullied, it makes me want to cheer for their side instead.
 
To save the weak and punish the strong, heroes will always be the allies of the weak ✰
 
…Owie!?
 
Jin: N? Oh, Morisawa… Did you hurt your arm? I just noticed, but you’ve got quite the graze there haven’t you?
 
Chiaki: Yes. I actually came to the infirmary to get this wound treated.
 
Jin: Say that sooner. Take off your jacket for a bit, lemme see.
 
Chiaki: Y-yes. I’ll take it off, so please turn around.
 
Jin: Why. There’s no need to feel embarrassed, we’re both guys… You’re so weird.
 
Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. Come now, Chiaki-chan take it off, take it off~♪
 
Chiaki: S, stop it, Sho*ker! Are you drunk again, Sagami-sensei!?**
 
Jin: Ahaha, I’m just joking.

TL notes:
* - Here, Chiaki is referring to the tokusatsu franchise Kamen Rider, one of the longest running tokusatsu series. Specifically, he is referring to Kamen Rider Decade from 2009 and Kamen Rider Amazon from 1974. 
** - Again, Chiaki is being a Kamen Rider nerd and is referencing Shocker, an evil organization featured in many episodes of Kamen Rider.

Season: Winter

Writer: Akira

Characters: Kohaku, Tsukasa, Madara

<First year of ES’ establishment. Early March. Inside the main Suou family mansion.>
 
Tsukasa: From today onwards, this will be your house.

tsukasa+kohaku
 
Kohaku: …
 
Tsukasa: Oukawa. It’s not like you to be this distant. Please come inside.
 
Kohaku: …Is this really alright, bon?
 
I’ll end up causin’ ya trouble. 
 
Tsukasa: What are you saying after all this time? Me and you, no, my family and your family are friendly, are we not?
 
If you cause trouble for me, then that is my price to pay, my toil to bear. You could even say it is my duty as the Suou head to accommodate you.
 
Actually, take this as an apology from me for the rudeness of my ancestors who ignored their obligations to your family and even tried to pretend like you didn’t exist. …I’m truly sorry, Oukawa.
 
Kohaku: Don’t lower yer head like that. It doesn’t suit ya, bon.
 
It’s all good. Since the start, y’all were ta main family while we were just ta branch family. Ya were the main body, while we were yer shadow.
 
Ya have the right to order us around as ya please.
 
We weren’t created equal.
 
Tsukasa: …
 
Kohaku: As the era changes, things like common sense and ethics also change, and what used to be the status quo becomes nonsensical.
 
Both the Suou main family and the Oukawa branch family came to feel a sense of incongruity from within that change.
 
‘Cause of that, all that frustration we’d been stockpilin’ up exploded, and we ended up causin’ accidents and hurtin’ one another. 
 
Us Oukawas ended up despisin’ the head family, while y’all Suous felt disgust at the branch family.
 
In reality, we were all just actin’ a lil’ paranoid.
 
Originally, we should’ve supported and loved each other as one family.
 
Tsukasa: …
 
Kohaku: That’s all there is to it. No one’s ta bad guy in this story.
 
If anyone’s a villain, it’s both of our ancestors. There’s no reason why you, bon, ta current head of the family, should hafta apologize on ta behalf of those geezers straight outta some folktale.
 
Yer a lil’ bit too serious, bon. That is one of ta things I like about ya, but if ya don’t learn ta be more flexible sometimes, ya will end up gettin’ used by some villain.
 
Well, if that ever happened, I’d be there to protect ya, though.
 
That’s how I’ll show my gratitude to ya, bon, who picked me up and saved me when my family were treatin’ me like a child who needed ta be put in a cardboard box and hidden away.
 
No. That’s how I’ll fulfill my original duty.

tsukasa+kohaku
 
Tsukasa: …
 
Kohaku: ? Oi, are ya even listenin’, bon? I was sayin’ some pretty nice things just now, ya know? Even if ya start yelpin’ about wantin’ ta hear it one more time, I won’t be repeatin’ myself, ya hear?
 
Tsukasa: -Alright, now it’s perfected.,
 
Kohaku: Huuh?
 
Tsukasa: Oukawa. Please look, this is the room I have prepared for you.
 
Kohaku: Right… My folks are at odds with the overseas mafia right now, and things still haven’t calmed down. It seems they’ve settled an agreement for now, but lots of details are still real fishy.
 
I can’t afford ta get the people livin’ peacefully at Starmony involved in my idiotic family drama, after all.
 
I’m plannin’ on layin’ low for a while until the tension cools down.
 
I was goin’ ta just walk around and sleep outside, when bon found out and I ended up gettin’ tangled up in yer pretentiousness. And before I knew it, the situation had turned out like this.
 
You’ve always been a lil’ bit too stubborn, bon. Really, once ya decide on somethin’, it’s impossible to get ya to reconsider even an inch.
 
Tsukasa: Stop complaining, and please have a look. I really worked hard to prepare this room for you.
 
Kohaku: Ya didn’t hafta go that far outta yer way to- wait, what ta heck’s this!?
 
Tsukasa: It came out well, didn’t it?
 
Because we spent so much time estranged, I wasn’t sure what your preferences would be like, so I randomly picked out things that seemed well-suited for children!
 
Look here♪ There’s lots of manga and toys! Even monster plushies! How cool isn’t this! Squeal~, just kidding~♪
 
Kohaku: Are ya stupiiiid!? How old do ya think I am, I ain’t bratty enough to be happy about somethin’ like this!?
 
Tsukasa: Fufun♪ This is the perfect kid room I could think of!
 
Kohaku: Will ya listen!? Pushin’ yer ideals onto others like this is a really bad trait of the Suou main family, ya know!?
 
Tsukasa: Kohakun, Kohakun, this here is your very own Deck!
 
I wanted to play cards with you, so I prepared my very favorite Card Game. I’ll be your Guide, so let’s start by learning the Standard version of the Rules-
 
Kohaku: Are ya just protectin’ me as an excuse ta play the children’s games you were never allowed to play before or what!?
 
Don't go profitin’ off someone’s misfortune like this, yer like some idiotic feudal lord who’s obsessed with the West!

madar
 
Madara: --Kohaku-san! We have a code red, please help me out!
 
Kohaku: Huh!? One after the other, what do ya want, yer so annoyin’!
 
Tsukasa: Mikejima-senpai (Silently closes the door behind him). …Do you need anything from my family?
 
Madara: Nope, I don’t have any business with you! But I heard that you were sheltering Kohaku-san at your home right now, you see?
 
Tsukasa: So you have business with Oukawa rather than me. Does that mean this is about Double Face?
 
Madara: N~. The details aren’t quite that clear cut, but you could probably say that? So, could I please borrow Kohaku-san for a little while?
 
Tsukasa: Hm… Actually, I’d like to ask if there’s anything I can assist you with as well? I have invested in Double Face ever since its inception, I’m what you might call the largest shareholder.
 
Strictly speaking, you are not allowed to do Double Face activities without my consent.
 
Madara: Hahaha! And whose rule is that? ES? NewDi? National law?
 
Do you expect us to start caring about such things at this point?
 
Tsukasa: It’s worrisome if you do not care about those things. It seems that Double Face is operating rather far removed from what I envisioned it would back when it was first established.
 
Kohaku: Hey now, don’t go arguin’ about me as if ya were fightin’ fer custody.
 
What’s up, really? My family home is still a mess, and Crazy:B is still active and as energetic as ever-
 
Honestly speakin’, I don’t have ta time to get involved in yer business right now?
 
Madara: I’m sure that’s true, but this problem is connected to you as well.
 
Kohaku: …Wait, Madara-han. What’s that you’ve been carryin’ under yer arm?
 
Madara: Yup. This is my current biggest problem.
 
Kohaku: Uuhm… That looks an awful lot like a live human? A small boy, looks ta be around first-year elementary age?
 
Wh, where did ya kidnap that thing up from? Madara-han, I always thought ya would end up doin’ somethin’ bad, but this-
 
Madara: You’re saying some awfully rude things right now. Just what do you take me for, exactly?
 
Or rather, I wish you wouldn’t act as if this is entirely unrelated to you.
 
-Kohaku-san. This is our child, you know♪
