resurrection sunday of the undead - ( reincarnation 4 )

[mandytl]

Location: Underground Live House

Rei: .... oh, my bad. This ain't the time for a nice chat.

I'm goin' up to the Academy for a sec to make my report. Sorry, but do you think you can go ahead with practicing as a unit together?

After that, I'm gonna hold a little performance here to commemorate my homecoming.

It's pretty abrupt and all, but could you roll with it?

Kaoru: Hello? Don't just go deciding whatever. You're gonna hold that here?

If so, too bad? We've got reservations with another band from now until night.

Rei: Ah, it's all good. We're real close. They even gave me a reception at the airport...

They handed it right over when I asked. Like, "it'll be our pleasure".

Kaoru: Eh~? What the? Are you the king of a country somewhere or something, Sakuma-san?

Rei: I'm just me. Ahahah. I was only half-jokin'. I'd feel pretty bad stealin' away the whole stage from the sidelines like that...

Well, I calmed 'em down by saying we'd alternate and go halfsies with the time.

Check with 'em if you want, 'cause I'm not lying.

Kaoru: Hmm. Well, it's you, so it's probably true.

If you pay the proper rental fees and don't cause any trouble, then there's nothing for me to say.

If Sakuma-san gets on stage it'll pull in a bunch of guests... and big profits too. It's OK to announce this on social media, right? It's like, vital for sales. ♪

Rei: Sure, but sparingly. No one's gonna be able to pack in here if there's a huge crowd.

Anyway, there you have it. I'll see ya later... 'scuse me for a sec~. ♪

Kaoru: Ahahah. He vanishes just as soon as he came, like a whirlwind.

Koga: Ugh... it's your fault I didn't get to talk to Sakuma-senpai that much.

Kaoru: You can talk to him all you want from here on, right? I mean, you're going to keep standing on stage together as DEADMANZ, right?

Koga: No... I didn't get the OK from Sakuma-senpai yet. Hasumi-senpai withdrew, so DEADMANZ is finished. We've gotta start a new regime.

I had plans to change the name to UNDEAD.

Kaoru: Eh? That glasses guy isn't with you guys anymore?

Koga: Yeah. He was a huge part of keepin' DEADMANZ alive, so...

The Student Council's busy. Seems like he's serious about tacklin' stuff here and there around the school.

It was more like they had a falling out instead of just having different tastes or whatever. Kinda like he got in a fight with Sakuma-senpai.

Not that I care about that damn Four Eyes... I'm gonna follow Sakuma-senpai for life.

I'm not all that convinced... why the hell'd that Four Eyes change his mind? He seemed like he was havin' fun.

It looked like they were saying somethin' to each other durin' our performance as DEADMANZ, but...

The noise was so loud that I couldn't hear a thing.

Kaoru: Hmm. He looked like a super serious guy. Maybe he and that guy with way too much freedom just weren't on the same wavelength~? Not that I know why.

Rei: I'm baaack~. ♪

Kaoru: So quickly!? Huh? You're done already... ? That speed wasn't human, even for you!

Rei: No, no. I spotted somethin' interesting on the way there and came back.

Here ya go. I found Mr. Bear~. ♪

Adonis: ...

Koga: Ah, you... Adonis! Dammit!! You're all buddy-buddy with Sakuma-senpai as usual!

Adonis: Ah, Oogami... it's more that I owe him a great deal. Thank you for always thinking of me, Sakuma-senpai.

Rei: You're very welcome. Well, you're the precious kid my teacher entrusted to me, so... I'm gonna look after ya as much as possible.

So. Now that we're past all that, I'm gonna have Adonis-kun here join DEADMANZ.

He needs friends that'll raise him up; the kid's got talent when it comes to music.

Kaoru: Huh? Didn't DEADMANZ break up and start fresh as UNDEAD?

Rei: Un-dead? That's one cool name. So everything just up and changed without me knowin', huh?

I'm down. DEADMANZ pretty much reached its limit, anyhow.

Koga: Ah... we can leave it as DEADMANZ if you don't like it, Sakuma-senpai.

Rei: Nah, it's all good. I'm gonna have to skip town soon and go overseas again, so I'm leavin' it all to you guys. Do as you like.

When I'm actually here I'll join in if I'm feelin' up to it. Lookin' real forward to it. ♪

Adonis: Thank you in advance.

Koga: Are things gonna be okay when they're this erratic... ?

Well, whatever! Gettin' to always perform together with Sakuma-senpai's been my dream! I don't care if we're dead or undead! Straight up anything'll do!

Haha! ♪ Let's make the best music ever, together!

Adonis: Yeah. I promise to give it my all.

Kaoru: Ahahah. Go for it~. Grow up great and invite a ton of guests, okay? ♪

Rei: You're laughin' like an outsider. How about you join up with us, Hakaze-kun?

I mean, you're free, right? Two first years all on their own ain't gonna cut it. They're gonna need a guardian.

I'm not always gonna be able to look after 'em.

Kaoru: Eh~? No way. It sounds like a pain. I just want to live a life where I get a share of the profit without any effort. ♪

Rei: Come on, don't say that. You gotta work harder. There's no need to lean on others when you can bring in the guests on your own, right?

Well, whatever... it's your life. But since we're the undead, we oughta have our fill to keep from gettin' bored on the long path of life. ♪
