Chivalrous Carnival - Chapter 4

 Summary
"With great excitement, the battle of the bands is successfully held. While tidying up the venue, Aoi shares a few words with Misaki."

Location: Kamogawa University

Misaki: The weather today is great! These are perfect conditions for our live!

Yamato: Playing on an outdoor stage is nice. It feels good.

Futa: The audience is having so much fun with Argona's performance so we aren't gonna let them down either!

Aoi: Behave yourself on stage, Futa! We've gone through a lot of trouble to get here!

Kohei: Thanks for this, Misaki, Aoi. We're able to stand on stage because of you two.

Misaki: It's not big deal. All we did was tell them the real story.

Aoi: I'm glad the staff gave us a chance to explain. They understood the rumors online were just over exaggerations

Yamato: I didn't think Misaki would be able to persuade other people.

Misaki: Asshole! The hell are you doing thinking 'bout people like that!?

Executive A: Argonavis' performance is coming to a close!

Executive B: Fujin Rizing, please get ready!

Kohei: Alright, it's time. Does everyone remember the setlist?

Misaki: Of course! Aoi was reduced to tears while remaking the setlist so imma give it my all!

Aoi: I did not cry!!

Futa: Alright, let's do this!!


------------------------------------

Kohei: Oi, once you've finished cleaning up over there, come and lend me a hand!

Aoi: I'm almost done! Just give me a second!

Misaki: Alright, I'm almost done tidying up!

Aoi: ...Hey, Misaki.

Misaki: Ah? What's up?

Aoi: ...Thanks for everything.

Misaki: What's with you?

Aoi: When we thought we might not get to perform, I was shocked...I had no idea what to do. 

Aoi: But then you came Misaki and bowed to the staff... you were able to convince them to listen.

Aoi: Everything worked out because of you. For that, thank you.

Misaki: Stop that, this is cringe as hell...

Aoi: Haha.

Misaki: ...Well, I guess I owe you my thanks too. All I did was bow.

Aoi: Eh?

Misaki: Didn't you help me a lot when we were younger? Don't make me talk about it.

Aoi: I don't think I did...

Misaki: It doesn't matter what you think.

Misaki: Back then, you, Futa and Kou-nii all helped me. I'm still thankful to this day.

Aoi: Misaki...

Misaki: ...Right then, we're done here! Let's go over to Kou-nii and the others, Aoi!

Aoi: ....Okay!

Chivalrous Carnival - Epilogue

 Summary
"It's been a few days since the live. While visiting the music shop, Misaki hears some familiar drumming. It turns out to be Banri."

ーA few days after the school festival liveー

Misaki: Alrighty, the drum corner...hm?

Misaki: I feel like...I've heard this drumming before.

Banri: Yeah, this one feels good to hit! Maybe I buy a new snare...

Misaki: ...So it's you, Shiroishi.

Banri: Huh, Misaki-kun? What're you doing here?

Misaki: I thought I'd come and check out the drums. The head on my snare's gotten all crappy.

Banri: Did you go a little overboard at the school festival live by chance?

Misaki: ...Maybe.

Banri: Ahaha! Then I guess we're in the same boat! That live was a blast!

Misaki: Yeah...for sure. Wasn't it just the best?

Banri: The encore was fun too! Both our bands got to stand on stage together.

Banri: I enjoyed the drumming session too!

Misaki: The executive committee guys got mad at me for going over time.

Banri: Ahaha, that so? If you had told me I would've come to get scolded with you.

Misaki: It's fine, don't worry about it... besides, I owe you one.

Banri: Oh? Did I do you a favor?

Misaki: You listened to Aoi. When Furai was in danger of being cancelled...you said Argona would step down too.

Banri: Ahh, that...

Misaki: Since you showed such chivalry, there's no way I can't pay it back!

Banri: You owe me that much? ...Hmm. It's fine, you've already returned the favor.

Misaki: Ah? 

Banri: You've shown me chivalry too. Wasn't it just the coolest when you bowed to the staff?

Misaki: Eh...but, that kind of thing isn't chivalry!

Banri: Really? I don't think it's easy to bow your head in that kind of situation. 

Misaki: If you've messed up, any idiot knows you've gotta apologise!

Banri: Fufu... y'know, you might look like a delinquent but really you were raised quite well, right?

Misaki: No...it ain't like that! I've been a hardcore gangster since day one...

Banri: Okay okay. Whatever you say.

Misaki: Anyway! My debt to you can't be repaid by a bit of scolding!

Misaki: That's why... we're gonna go grab a bite!!

Banri: ...Ha?

Misaki: I'm gonna treat you to a meal! There's a shop nearby that makes some hella good turkey rice!

Banri: ...What's turkey rice?

Misaki: You don't know!? Are you insane!? Shut the hell up and come with me! You won't believe how good this shit is!!

Banri: Of course I'll come with you! I'm a lover of free food after all!
