Tsumugi: Oh no, I couldn't have given birth to him~ He’s a junior in my unit — Harukawa Sora-kun.

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Location: Front Gate

Sora: HaHa~♪ HiHi~♪ HuHu~♪

HaHiHuHeHo~♪

Tsumugi: Ahaha. You're in a rather good mood today, aren't you? Seeing you looking so happy makes me happy too, Sora-kun~♪

Sora: Really? It's a mutual interaction of happiness! Or actually, it's also the magic of Switch~♪

Tsumugi: It really is ♪ Ah, is this piggyback ride putting you in good spirits? Now that I'm thinking about it, you've been rather attached to me recently, haven't you~?

Sora: You mean I can't? Nuzzling up to your hair is just so soothing, Senpai, it feels like being inside a bird nest…♪

Tsumugi: No, of course you can~ You’re such an affectionate kid.

I’m happy you’d want to cuddle up to someone like me. To this day Natsume-kun still won’t soften up to me at all.

Sora: HeHe~♪ Don't worry~ Master loves you, Senpai!

Tsumugi: I wonder about that~ In fact, I think he hates me more and more every day.

I saw him on my way to school this morning, so I said hello, but all he did was shoot me a murderous glare and insulted me just as always.

Sora: HoHo~♪ So just like Sora, Master is feeling pretty down about Senpai’s graduation, isn't he?

Tsumugi: Hmm… But it’s not like death is splitting us apart or anything.

But I still haven't decided on my career path, so my future is rather unclear… could it be that Natsume-kun's also worried?

In that case, I wish he'd be more honest about it.

It's a little troubling that he keeps taking it out on me like this — the other day, he threw salt at my head as soon as he saw me, you know?

I tried to take it positively, and asked if we were reenacting the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah —

But without missing a beat, he told me he'd rain sulfur and fire down on me too!

Sora: HaHa~? Salt is for keeping monsters away, though~ Senpai, are you a monster?

Tsumugi: Oh, no~ I’m not anything as cool as that.

Sora: Demons are cool? Aren't they scary and creepy? Well, they also give you EXP when you take 'em down~♪

Tsumugi: That’s generally how they’re viewed, I suppose.

But recently, demons aren't as disliked as they once used to be — it's easy to see that when you consider everyone in UNDEAD.

In fact, I think it seems like evil has a kind of allure of its own.

Sora: Hmm~? Well, magicians were also once considered repulsive and eerie, weren't they~?

Tsumugi: Exactly. That’s why witch hunts happened.

You may be an exception, Sora-kun, but generally, when everyone around you points at something and says it’s bad, you'll start being convinced that it’s bad, too.

This may be a tasteless example…

…But suppose someone told you that there was a cockroach in some food as a joke. Even if it wasn't true, you'd think twice before eating it.

Well, I'd probably go ahead with eating it, actually… But that’s not quite the norm.

Sora: HiHi~♪ It's precisely because humans possess wisdom that they have imagination, and magic tricks take advantage of that, right~? To quote Master, that is!

Tsumugi: Yep, that’s why magic is most effective on humans. Now, back when I was in fine…

…Whoa, whoops?

Hiyori: Tsumugi-ku~un! Well done on coming to meet with us! As a reward, I shall grant you the high honour of gazing upon my smile…☆

Sora: Wah! That's too bright!?

Tsumugi: Wah―!? What’s wrong, Sora-kun? Did you get something in your eye? Please don’t flail about~ You'll hurt yourself if you fall, you know?

Hiyori: Ahaha. What's the matter, who's this boy? Is he your precious flesh and blood, Tsumugi-kun?

Tsumugi: Oh no, I couldn't have given birth to him~ He’s a junior in my unit — Harukawa Sora-kun. For some reason, he's been sticking close with me lately.

Hiyori: Sora? Is he from Ba-barrier, then? I do believe his name was in the files I received, yes?

Tsumugi: Wow, your memory is as impressive as ever~

That’s correct. From time to time, he performs in a temporary unit called Ba-barrier.

They perform less frequently than Rain-bows, or rather… There hasn't been much going on for them since the live performance they had in early summer.

But as far as I know, they haven’t disbanded.

Sora: Yep, they brought us members together at first since we had lots of free time, thanks to our usual units being a little inactive, you see~?

But both Switch and Valkyrie have gotten busier with all our public performances now!

Tsumugi: On top of that, MaM's Mikejima-kun still regularly flies overseas… I’m sure it’s difficult for all your schedules to overlap~

Whenever you're not around, Sora-kun, Natsume-kun gets more irritable than usual…

So if you wound up focusing too much on Ba-barrier, I'd personally be in trouble.

Sora: Ehehe, does he get lonely without Sora?

But Ba-barrier still sometimes meet up to update each other on recent happenings, and teach each other things we don’t understand, so we’re all getting along well~♪

Tsumugi: Ah… I did hear recently that there’s a new rule about getting dropped from Project-Saga if you haven’t been active enough, so you must all be working in a frenzy to avoid that, aren't you?

After all, you performed an S3 in the auditorium, and other similar things.

Sora: That's right! But our role is essentially to work as backstage supporters for Rain-bows — at least, that's what Kunugi-sensei wants to do!

So it isn’t good for us to stand out too much, you see~?
