Episode 5-38: Conflict Generation!
Pomefiore Dorm
Deuce Deuce	~~~ (sighs) Now I’ve done it… I totally took my anger out on the wrong guy… Definitely not what a good student should do… Snapping because of being told the truth is just very lame of me…
Choice 1: We finally found you.		Choice 2: You seem a little bit down.
Grim Grim	Your kind manager here has brought you a drink.
Deuce Deuce	Yuu, Grim? Sorry for running off like that.
Grim Grim	Really. If you guys don’t win, I can say good-bye to my canned tuna paradise, yanno? So you and Epel should get it together and go back to rehearsals.
Deuce Deuce	Haha, you’re unbreakable as ever. I’m kinda jealous.
Grim Grim	Why are you so fixated on Vil and Epel’s argument in the first place? Even I can tell that it’s a tough nut to crack, yanno?
Deuce Deuce	True. I know that I did something stupid. But, I’ve been so taken in by Epel ever since we met him by the well at the Courtyard. … I think it’s because we’re both similar.
Grim Grim	What? You and Epel? You guys don’t even look and think alike, yanno?
Deuce Deuce	I can’t quite explain it, but… We’re both people who want to change but can’t change… And because we don’t know how to go about it, we’re stuck at a standstill. Ah, damn it…! It’s just like Ace said. I’m dumb and slow so I can’t explain it properly. This is so frustrating…
Rook Rook	That frustration is but youth’s folly, Monsieur Spade!
Kalim Kalim	What’s up!? Come on, cheer up~!
Grim & Deuce	WHA—!?!?!?!
Deuce Deuce	Th-that shocked me! What are you doing here, Hunt-senpai? Asim-senpai, too.
Kalim Kalim	Dance lessons are about to start again, so we came to check on you.
Rook Rook	Do you think you can come back with us now?
Deuce Deuce	Would it be alright for me to return……?
Kalim Kalim	Huh? Of course!
Deuce Deuce	Just like Schoenheit-senpai said, I am aware that I’m holding you all back. I know I should do my best now that I’m a part of the team, but at this rate……
Rook Rook	Do not falter, Monsieur Spade. You are still little birds inside their eggs. Deciding your own limits before you break out from your shell is simply nonsensical. You will never be able to obtain a beautiful voice and strong wings if you keep cowering inside your shell.
Deuce Deuce	Hunt-senpai…
Rook Rook	You will be fine. I can hear it properly, you see? I can hear all the noises that you make as you try your best to break through your hard shells. Did you know? In order for little birds to be able to break out of their shells, they possess a strong horn-like protuberance called an egg tooth. But, as they grow older, they lose their egg tooth. But here is my point— You all have something special that only you are capable of doing. You possess “power,” too. I am— No, I am sure that even Vil is looking forward to seeing that. We are simply waiting for you all to break out of your shells.
Deuce Deuce	Strength that only I possess… Um… ……… ………… I can’t. All I can think of is how I’m a bit of a fast runner. I’m not smart or a fast-learner. There’s nothing good about me…
Kalim Kalim	Say, Deuce… Maybe it’s because you keep overthinking that you can’t come up with anything good.
Deuce Deuce	Eh?
Kalim Kalim	You call yourself an idiot, so why are you trying so hard to think and complicate things? When I look at you, it’s like watching someone try to write with their non-dominant hand and then hearing them complain about why their handwriting looks so ugly. It’s like you’re setting yourself up for failure when you keep doing things you know you can’t do. You won’t be able to find your good qualities if you keep focusing on what you’re bad at.
Rook Rook	Fufufu, Kalim-kun, your eyes are always like the sun that shines after the rain. That straightforwardness and that unconscious brilliance are what makes you stand out, King of Gold!
Kalim Kalim	Um, am I being praised right now? Thanks, Rook!
Rook Rook	It is as Kalim-kun says, Deuce-kun. Your strength is surely not trying to be smart.
Grim Grim	Yeah, all the ideas that Deuce comes up with always end up in disaster. Remember that time you suggested throwing Ace to catch me? We ended up breaking a hundred million Madol chandelier ‘cause of that, yanno?
Deuce Deuce	P-please forget about that already.
Kalim Kalim	Jamil tells me off for being too carefree sometimes though. But when I feel down, I can forget what’s bothering me after I eat, sleep, and dance a little. And I think that’s part of my good qualities. In your case, maybe you should use some of the things you’re bad at to find what you’re good at. Though, I can’t quite explain it well…
Choice 1: Learning from mistakes, right?		Choice 2: Oh, reverse psychology, huh.
Deuce Deuce	………!! I see… That’s what it is…! Thank you very much, Asim-senpai and Hunt-senpai! I think I know what to do now!
Kalim Kalim	Oh~? That’s great!
Deuce Deuce	Um… Can I ask you one more question?
Rook Rook	Oui. Anything we can help you with?
Deuce Deuce	Do you know where I can borrow something like “that” in this school?
Rook & Kalim	What?
