This sucks!!
We’ve been tearin’ out the grass and cleanin’ up the ground since this morning… I’m done with this!

|
I’m sorry. This is all because I scorched the ground with my jet flames when I took off with my Stargazer Gear…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
You don’t have to apologize. I know you picked this as your launch area because there wouldn’t be anyone around when you took off.
|

But we wouldn’t be needing to replace the lawn if I hadn’t gone at full blast…
|
Deuce

Don’t be stupid. When you’re blasting off at full speed, of course you’re gonna have to rev up as hard as you can!
And you were heading to space! You were definitely in the right here!

Deuce Spade. This topic has caused your vital signs to appear slightly abnormal.

Don’t worry about him, Ortho. Deuce’s just a big excitable idiot.
|
Deuce

|
But anyway, I’m curious why Shroud isn’t here.

Oh, that… He said “I did more work than anyone else building the Stargazer Gear. So I don’t need to help.”
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
That does sound like him…
|
Trey

|
He actually did have a much more proactive mindset than we’d expected the day of the ritual.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Ahaha… True.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ugh! This burnt grass is sticking all over me—it’s gross!
I even helped you guys earlier! So why’d I get stuck doing this!?
|
Trey
Trey
|
I admit I feel the same way.
But however hard we worked as the Stargazers, it’s not a free ticket to getting our wishes granted.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
It’s not the same as it was in the folk tale…

(Idia comes running towards them)

Ortho! Ortho!
|

Ortho
|
Big Brother!? Why are you freaking out? What’s wrong?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Perfect timing, Shroud. We were just talking about you——
|
Idia
Idia
|
Shut up, Sir Deuce! I came to talk to Ortho!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
What!? You’re really talkin’ to us that way when we’re the ones working our asses off!?
|
Trey
Trey
|
Alright, calm down, Deuce.

They just announced that the sequel to Star Rogue is in the works!
Here, look at my tablet! At this article!
|
Ortho

|
…No way.
|
Idia

|
It’s legit! The old dev team even got back together. It’s a miracle.
The article says they were reminded of the passion they had for the franchise while watching a meteor shower the other day.
I think they must’ve been seeing all the Wishing Stars you took up to the sky!
|
Ortho

|
…Does this mean your wish came true?
|
Everyone
|
WHAAAT!?
|
Idia
Idia
|
Hehe, I’m gonna get really busy soon~. I gotta replay the game, read through all the fanbooks they have, and then…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
His wish came true, just like in the folk tale!!
|
Grim
Grim
|
So will mine come true too?
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
I’m sure it could!
|
Trey
Trey
|
Haha, that’s true. There’s never been a case where the Stargazers took their wishes directly to the stars.
So who’s to say the stars couldn’t make a few miracles happen?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Nyahaha! I’m gonna be an almighty mage~!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Oh, Prefect, you didn’t make a wish this year, right?
|
Option 1: I let Grim have it!
|
Option 2: Well, there was only one Wishing Star for the two of us.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I think you should use your Wishing Star for yourself next year.
|
Option 1: My wish…
|
Option 2: Of course, my wish would be…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I guess you already know what it is.
Alright! Next year, I’m going to help out the Stargazers.
I hope your wish comes true, Yuu.
