--A few days after they started collecting Wishing Stars

Fnya!?
I never knew there was this giant tree behind the school!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I didn’t either…
Headmaster. Is this the tree we should put the Wishing Stars on?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Yes. Let’s decorate it now.
|
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
And… there.
We hung up all the Wishing Stars we collected.
|
Grim

|
Hah~…! The gems we hung on the tree lit the whole thing up…
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Yeah. It’s beautiful…
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
It is! Big Brother, can you see it?
|
Idia
Idia
|
Mm…
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Huh? Let me adjust the angle of your tablet… There.
|
Idia
Idia
|
Th-Thanks, Ortho. I can see it now.
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Really? Your reaction was kind of weak, though…
|
Idia
Idia
|
No, I swear, I can see it fine! It’s pretty! I’m in total awe! I even took a screenshot of it!
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Hmm… Okay, then…
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
On the day of, the tree will be decorated with hundreds of Wishing Stars, and it’ll look even more stunning!
|
Trey
Trey
|
But that all depends on how much work we do… right?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Right! I’m looking forward to it.
Now then, let’s get to the point. I’d like to talk about the day of the Star Send-Off.
At our school, the Stargazers must do a dance and drum ceremony…
And put some pizzazz into the Star Send-Off! Clover and Idia Shroud…
And Ortho Shroud as well, you three know about this already, yes?
|
Trey
Trey
|
Yeah, of course.
|
Ortho

|
Last year’s ceremony was so cool~! I only saw it once, but I made sure to commit it to my memory drive!
|
Idia
Idia
|
(…I could never forget it either. That gave me such secondhand embarrassment just by watching it…)
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
The last time I saw it was in my hometown when I was little. What was it like again…?
|
Crowley

|
At our school, there will be one person using the drum, and two people dancing in rhythm to that.
However, this is no ordinary performance. With a glorious song that’s been passed down since ancient times, and whimsical dancing…
The three of you must be in perfect sync!
|
Grim
Grim
|
Hmm. The Stargazers got a lot of finicky things they have to do.
|
Option 1: I bet practicing will be difficult…
|
Option 2: So they have to do more than just hang up Wishing Stars.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Also, your roles are decided by birthday too. Spade and Clover will be doing the dancing.
Idia Shroud will be in charge of using the drum.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Clover, let’s do our best together!
|
Trey
Trey
|
Haha, don’t get too fired up. But yes, let’s do our best, Deuce.
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Big Brother gets the drum! You’re really good at rhythm games, so this will be a piece of cake!
|
Idia
Idia
|
N-No… Real instruments and games aren’t… u-ugh…
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Please continue collecting Wishing Stars during the day, and practice for the ceremony after school.
|
Trey
Trey
|
I’m going to be busier than ever now. My break time, and after school… It’ll be a race against the clock.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
But we have to do it!
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
I like that enthusiasm! Now then, let’s try practicing the dance and the drum now.
…Er, Idia Shroud. You came as your tablet again today.
|
Idia
Idia
|
S-Sorry. My stomach just wasn’t feeling too well…
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Oh, that’s unfortunate… Will you be able to actually make it next time?
|
Idia
Idia
|
…Maybe.
(…As if I’d show up knowing I’m going to be forced to practice for the ceremony.)
(But I don’t know what to do… I can’t get out of having to play that drum!)
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Please? Idia Shroud?
|
Idia
Idia
|
…I-I will give it some careful thought.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Alright, let’s run through the whole thing once.
We won’t have anyone using the drum this time, so please move on beat to my clapping and gestures.
Are we ready~?
