Season: Winter
Scenario writer: Akira
Characters (in order of appearance): Kaoru, Souma, Kanata, Madara
(Present day. The first year of the establishment of ES, Early February. Yumenosaki High School, Marine Biology Clubroom.)
Kaoru: Man, that sure was a disaster, Souma-kun!
Souma: …………
Kaoru: That really freaked me out, you know. I show up to the clubroom for the first time in a while, and there you were, on the floor covered in blood.
I thought it was a homicide and even called the police.
Souma: …You’re needlessly noisy as usual, Hakaze-dono. What do I have to do to shut that mouth of yours?
Kaoru: You don’t look so good, Souma-kun. You okay? Is it anemia?
Souma: I am ashamed. For I was seen in such an unsightly state by you, Hakaze-dono, of all people.
Kaoru: Nah, there’s nothing to be ashamed about. It was an accident, right?
What was it, again? Just as you were cleaning the clubroom, a vase or something fell and hit you straight on the head?
Souma: Mhmm……It was, as you say, a disaster indeed.
Even though, unlike you, the way I conduct myself daily is good.
Kaoru: I’ve also been doing things properly recently, you know? For real, for real. I’ve been so earnest that even my older fans have been passing along a theory on whether or not I’m the same person.
Souma: Hmph. You are the same person. Although you have always been frivolous, you’ve also always been a person of virtue.
Those passing along such rumors must not know who you are at all as a person.
Kaoru: Souma-kun, you get it? You get me?
Souma: …I don't know. Both back then, and now.
For a blockhead like me, understanding others is beyond my reach, like a dream.
Kaoru: What’s wrong~? That’s pretty dark. It seems like the Marine Biology Club is still as unpopular as usual, is it lonely being all alone? Want me to come visit you more often?
Souma: An unnecessary deed. How annoying.
Kaoru: I’m just worried about you!
Souma: I am not so far gone as to have you worry about me.
Anyways, it must be some sort of fate for you to show up like this.
You can help clean up the clubroom. I was knocked unconscious by such an unnecessary accident, so everything is still a mess.
Kaoru: Eh~ what a pain in the……
Ah, right, yeah, okay, okay, I’ll help out.
Scary, don’t glare at me like that. People will misunderstand.
Souma: I’m not glaring at you. It’s just, the vase that hit me earlier—I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before, so I couldn’t help but look upon it closely.
Ahh, that’s right. It’s from the funeral hall that day.
This vase looks just like the one from that funeral—no, I feel that they are the same one.
Kaoru: Uhh, hold on. A funeral hall? Vase? Wait, then isn’t that……?
Souma: Yes. This could possibly be an urn.
Kaoru: Ueeeehhhh…… W-why is something like that in our clubroom!?
Souma: Perhaps the previous president, in other words, Shinkai-dono, forgot and left it behind.
No, no matter how much common sense he may lack, there’s no way he would casually take an item of such great importance out of the house like that.
Hmm, how mysterious.
No, it’s exactly that—then and now, he has always been an enigma to me.
Kanata: zzz, zzz…….♪
Madara: God~, God~, wake up.
Kanata: ough..
as kanata has said before, mikejima, he is not yet a god.
Madara: Right, then not God, but a liiiittle baby. Why were you sleeping?
Kanata: kanata doesn’t know why, either. before he knew it, he was asleep.
kanata is easily influenced by other people. like water, easily dyed.
which is why, when he is next to this sleeping child, he falls asleep too…probably.
Souma: …………
Madara: I wonder who this kid is. He looked like he was about to touch your hair, so I just knocked him out.
Oh well. More importantly, we’re all set and ready to go!
Just like we planned, the old geezers are beginning to talk to one another during the reception, trying to decide on future plans.
Now might be our best chance to sneak up to where the body is.
Kanata: will kanata be able to meet mother?
ah, no. kanata isn’t allowed to call her mother. kanata will get in trouble.
Madara: It’s weirder to get in trouble. What’s wrong with calling your mother, “mother”?
Kanata: but, mother is a god, so.
……even though she was a god. why did mother die?
do you know why, mikejima?
kanata doesn’t understand.
Madara: I don’t get it, either. ‘Cause I’m an idiot.
Unlike my sister, I'm always doing everything wrong. That’s what they always say whenever they get mad at me.
Kanata: people are only ever angry at both kanata and mikejima.
Madara: Mhm, that’s why we were able to become friends in the first place!
Souma: Ugh…..uh… Hm?
Madara: Ah, oh no. This guy’s gonna wake up.
Should I knock him out again? Have fun going to the world of dreams~♪
Kanata: l-let’s not do anything scary. i get scared when i see you hit someone.
this child hasn’t done anything wrong, either. you musn’t hit him.
Madara: Okay, okay, as per God’s will~♪
Souma: ……W-who are you people? Just what kind of people are you?
Madara: Oh, crap. See, he’s woken up!
Souma: Y-you scoundrel……I’m going to call for an adult!
Madara: Thaaat would be a problem.
Fuhaha, I have no choice then! I’ll have to kill you in order to silence you ♪
Souma: Y-you’re going to kill me? H-how dare you, you barbarian!
Madara: What’s up with this guy? He’s got a funny way of speaking.
God’s also weird. Am I the only normal person here?
Well, I knew that already. This is really crazy, all of this.
