Track 4
Kanazawa – Higashi Chaya
…Haa
(I couldn’t do anything earlier… during the meeting…)
O Kinugawa. Do not look so down.
The famed red-lattice windows of the tea houses lined up along the stone-paved streets… and at the end of it all, the striking Asanogawa Bridge!2
Me too. *stick*
Take this! *stick*
It’s a popular destination among foreigners, too, because you can rent a kimono and walk around the streets wearing it.
You too, Ushio, c’mon. Just share a little bit~.
Huuh!? Don’t touch me with your bare hands!
…Whatever. Golem, here, take it. *stick*
There are lots of stores here that utilize the gold-leaf, so…
I believe my sister read a similar fairy tale. It was about a swallow that carried gold-leaves.4
Let's take a break with the famous gold-leaf soft serve made using a whole piece of Hakuichi gold-leaf!5
I know the story, but we’d technically be doing the opposite.
Okay boys, we’re gonna cover Kiroku’s soft serve from top to bottom in gold-leaf!!
Huh…
However, eating while walking is not allowed, so first, let’s find a place to sit—
*stick stick stick stick stick stick stick stick stick*
You can all focus on decorating Kinugawa-kun’s soft serve after properly taking a seat.
Thanks… every, one…
(Kiroku-kun looked really down earlier… but everyone is there for him, so he should be okay.)
Chief. We should eat ours before they melt.
Yeah, sounds good. Okay everyone, we’ll be over there, so call us if you need anything.
Okaaay.
Kirokuuu, how’s your super gold-leaf bedazzled soft served taste?
It tastes… like ice cream.
The gold-leaf itself has no particular taste, nor smell after all.
It’s sweet… and tasty.
Looks like you’re feeling better now.
Fire, fire. Never back down, never what? NEVER GIVE UP!! Go get your revenge~!
Next time… I’ll at least, do… a proper explanation… of my, artwork.
I get it, though. Whenever I do a recap of my movies, everyone always tells me there’s a mountain of things they don’t get.
Isn’t that because you only speak in weird noises?
Nono, after all, art is supreme. Artistic expression goes beyond words!
Well, today, Golem became extra depressed ‘cause somebody tried to show off.
Ushio.
…That wasn’t what I meant to do…
Nanamegi… thanks, for, earlier. You filled up the, awkwardness…
It wasn’t that big of a deal… but no problem.
Oh yeah, Kiroku, I wanted you to listen to this.
Is this… the surprise demo, from earlier…?
Nope. This is the song for the HosLive. Here, earbuds.
…
…
…!
Wo…w, wow…
How is it?
It’s, so cool…!
I actually wrote it based off of you.
Huh…!?
(This song, is based off of… me…!?)
Wouldn't it be sick if we combined your art with my music?
…
Adults might look down on us sometimes, but let’s both do our best as artists.
Nanamegi…
…
My, Kinugawa closed his eyes and is deeply appreciating the music.
What’s he listening to?
The nasty stuff.
F-For real…?
No, you idiot.
You guys… should listen, too… He wrote it, with me, in mind…
Bet~! Gimme gimme!
I’ll be borrowing these.
Wow. Shoving that thing down your ear right after someone else used it? You guys are so brave.
Whoaaa, so this is a personalized song…!
So this is another way in which music can be expressed. How interesting.
…
? Why are you just standing there? Pass it around already if you’re done listening.
Hey Nanaki, this isn’t finished yet, right?
? Yeah, why?
Nope, it’s nothing! I’m super excited to see the final thing!
Are you boys done eating? We should get going soon.
Have we all gone to the washroom? Does anyone need a wet-wipe?
Ah, Teach, me. I want one, please! The soft serve dripped all over me.
…And you had the audacity to touch Panda’s earbuds with those? My condolences~.
