Writer: Nishioka (feat. Akira)

 

Characters: Arashi, Mika, Hajime, Tori, Yuzuru, Ritsu, Mao, Anzu

 

 

Arashi: Good morning ♪

 

Mika: Good mornin’ 

 

Hajime: Ah. Narukami-senpai, Kagehira-senpai, good morning.

 

-Wow, that’s a lot of bags you’ve got there~?

 

Arashi: Yup. We’d been talking about wanting to go shopping recently, you see. So me and Mika-chan went on a shopping spree before coming here today.

 

Mika: Thanks to ya I was able ta buy some nice winter clothing. Thanks fer the advice, Naru-chan.

 

Tori: And now we’re just waiting for Ritsu-senpai, Isara-senpai and Anzu to arrive?

 

There’s still a while left until the agreed-upon meeting time, so it’s not like they’re late yet. But I feel like I’ve been waiting for a while now~

 

I’m starting to get sleepy. Maybe I should’ve stopped by the dorm before coming here.

 

Hajime: Tori-kun and Fushimi-senpai arrived even before I did, after all. And you came straight from a job, didn't you?

 

Yuzuru: I thought we would have to go straight from the job here, but it appears I overestimated how much time we would need...

 

Aah, feel free to come sit over here, Narukami-sama, Kagehira-sama. There is open space here for your bags.

 

Arashi: Oh my, thank you. Well then, I’ll sit over here next to Mika-chan.

 

Mika: Heave-ho…

 

Yuzuru + Hajime: …(Gets up from their chairs.)

 

Mika: ? What’re ya doin’ standin’ up all of a sudden, Yukkun, Hajime-kun? Was it wrong fer me ta sit down?

 

Hajime: Ah…!

 

Yuzuru: …Now that I think about it, this meeting room is inside a cafe.

 

Hajime: Ehehe. I usually serve tea for everyone when I attend these types of meetings. I couldn’t help getting up to prepare tea out of habit.

 

Yuzuru: I’m in the same situation as Shino-sama. My body was moving unconsciously.

 

Arashi: Fufu. That’s a habit for you. But today we’re having our meeting inside a cafe. Both Yuzuru-chan and Hajime-chan are on the side being served today.

 

Everyone is probably feeling thirsty, so why don’t we go ahead and order some drinks for those of us who are here already?

 

Ritsu: Nacchan, please order a cream soda for me too.

 

Arashi: Oh my, Ritsu-chan came at just the right moment. Now, now, Ritsu-chan. What are you making Mao-chan carry you around for?

 

Yuzuru: My, did the two of you come all this way like that?

 

Mao: Ugh. You’re heavy… It’s not like I wanted to walk all the way here like this. But if I had kept arguing with Ritsu about it, we would’ve been late for the meeting. So I had no choice. Probably.

 

Arashi, please scold Ritsu for me. Ever since I ran into him on my way here, he’s refused to get off my back~

 

Oi, Ritsu~. You’ve been doing great lately with living on your own, right? To think I was so proud of you for that.

 

Ritsu: That’s right. I’m working so hard every day that I’m completely burnt out.

 

Which is why it wouldn’t be worth the effort unless I can have Maa~kun comfort me and spoil me every now and then like this. Right, Maa~kun…♪

 

Mao: Ggeeh…! Throat! That’s my throat you’re squeezing! Don’t use so much force when you hug me~!

 

Aah, I just remembered! This is how things used to be around spring last year!?

 

Arashi: My goodness. I wonder if you had repressed those memories…?

 

It’s been a while since the two of you have had work together, so I think Ritsu-chan is probably just really excited.

 

Mao: N? …Oops. Ah, sorry, Anzu. We were blocking the entrance, weren’t we?

 

Ahaha… That’s right. Ritsu has been like this all along.

 

C’mon, Ritsu. The meeting is about to start so get down from my back.

 

Ritsu: I guess I have no choice. Well, I guess it’s okay since we can walk back home together as well ♪

 

Mao: You’re planning on hitching a hike on my back on the way home too!?

 

Hajime: Everyone~. Please choose what you would like to order from this menu. I’ll order for everyone.

Yuzuru: Well then, it seems we’ve all calmed down. Could you please explain why you have gathered us here today, Anzu-san?

 

Tori: Well, I’d think it’s for work.

 

Hajime: Ah, that’s what I thought as well. Then, what kind of job is it?

 

Mao: N~? Are you writing the name of a show on the whiteboard, Anzu? What a weird title.

 

“Chance”... Nn? “Batsuori”...?

 

Ritsu: That’s read “Basara”. It refers to one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals who protect Bhaisajyaguru in Buddhism. So the title should be read as “Chance Basara Night”. 

 

Mika: “Chance X Basara X Night”...

 

Aah, I see. I didn’t know the full name since people always just use the short version, but this is about “Chanbara Night”, ain’t it?

 

Mao: “Chanbara Night”?
