Souma: … “Andeddo”?

Adonis: Yeah. That's the name.

A unit system from around the springtime was adopted in order to test others within the school. That's why they weren't
able to form until now.

I'm linked to them by fate and also a member now.

To be honest, just going to class won't bear any fruit. I want to work with talented people and train together.

Souma: Hmm. That's true. Improving one's self is vital. The unit system... I ought to search for an appropriate place for me.

For some reason others tend to keep me at a distance, hence I'm not sure if I'll find anyone who'll take me into their group. Perhaps it's the fault of this sword...

It feels like I might've been giving off an aura of haughtiness.

Adonis: But the soul of samurai is his sword, isn't it? I don't think you should give it up.

Souma: Indeed... I've been wearing my sword at my side since childhood. In truth, I feel uneasy without it, and that goes for on the stage as well.

I'm sure it's impossible to be an "aidoru" with it.

In any case, I understand the situation. You're going to be training with that "Andeddo" group from here on. This is where we part ways, then.

Adonis: Yeah. Thank you... for always hanging out with me after school, Kanzaki.

Everyone seems interested in hearing about what I've seen in Japan whenever I return to my country.

They badger me with questions like, what did you buy, or where did you take this picture.

Having you to always guide me here and there when it came to Japan's customs and culture helped considerably.

Souma: Why, no need to thank me. I'm free, essentially... and thanks to you, Adonisu-dono, I can escape the tedium of having too much time on my hands after school.

Adonis: ... You could join UNDEAD too if you want, Kanzaki. I could introduce you.

I'd feel a little bad if I left you with nothing to do because of my one-sided circumstances.

You probably know him, but apparently that Oogami is at the center of UNDEAD.

I'm a little scared to face him since he seems to hate me.

It'd be really reassuring to have you there with me, Kanzaki.

Souma: Hmm, Oogami... — ah, yes. The one who’s often being scolded by Hasumi-dono for violating school regulations
like myself.

He seems a good-natured individual despite the attitude and foul mouth, though that's merely my impression.

Adonis: Yeah. Do you remember? When Oogami and Hasumi-senpai took on the name DEADMANZ and worked
together?

Apparently that was the basis for UNDEAD.

Which means Hasumi-senpai is going to take part in our activities from time to time... I think. I'm not entirely sure since I'm on my way to go discuss the details.

Souma: Hm. If Hasumi-dono is participating then I'm a great deal more interested. There's something about him...

He's always gently instructing me like a parent would.

Be that as it may, I find it hard to adapt to the style of this, how you say, "Deaddomanzu".

"Rokkun rorru"... I believe it's called. That unpleasant shouting is somewhat lacking in charm. I wish to dance more elegantly.

Adonis: Rock is definitely a little aggressive... but it may actually serve as someone's salvation. The music gave those who were born during World Wars hope as an anchor for the soul.

I think that's good. It's consistent with the direction I'm aiming for, so I want to do my best in UNDEAD.

Souma: You have my full support, Adonisu-dono. I respect you for having a solid grasp on what you wish to do.

I've a ways to go, at this rate... my drifting from place to place will likely continue.

Ah. We can't just continue our carefree chatting. You have practice to attend after this. I'll take care of the bill, so it's quite all right to go ahead and head out.

Adonis: You're right... I'll leave the change here. I hate to leave, but I'll be going now, Kanzaki.

Souma: I know you'll be busy for a time, but I'd like for you to call on me again whenever you're available.

Let's partake in some fun when "Andeddo" takes a day off from training.

Work hard and devote yourself fully until then, Adonisu-dono.

Adonis: Right. Thank you, Kanzaki. See you at school tomorrow.

Souma: Of course. See you tomorrow... ♪

( Fufu. Adonisu-dono's in such high spirits. )

( He's a surprisingly active individual; the type to be dissatisfied with sitting idly by while things are at a standstill. )

( "Andeddo", huh... for whatever reason the name gives a gloomy impression, but all is well if that's where you feel at
ease. )

( Still, this isn't the time to be so anxious about someone else's welfare... what am I going to do? )

( I still haven't done anything "aidoru"-like after finally being admitted to Yumenosaki Academy. )

( A "yunitto"... I'll try my hand again at finding a suitable place for me. )

( Hasumi-dono of the Student Council would know a great deal. Perhaps it'd be best to ask for his opinion. )

( Now that that decision's been made, I must act with haste... onward, back to Yumenosaki Academy. )

( Fufu. I'm looking forward to this, Adonisu-dono. I'm not sure why, but it feels like the pleasant springtime of our youth is
only just beginning. I'm enveloped in a restless state of euphoria. )

( I sincerely hope this isn't an illusion. )
