≪ continued from here ≫

You think you're pained right now? Hearing this from you pisses me off more than you know.
It's not as if I did anything illegal, idiot!
If I did anything wrong, it was offering to help Tomoya-kun with his magic act.
This is where my kindness has gotten me!

Sena-senpai... what exactly has happened?
A magic trick?

Excuse me, but are you here in Japan right now?
If so, you ought to have come and found us.

[That might've been a good idea, if not for the shame of crawling for help and the more egregious fact that he'd been trying to hide his presence entirely.]

Not anymore. It's all taken care of now, anyway.

I wasn't even there that long, so I really shouldn't have given him the time of day. I mean, I totally wouldn't have if I'd known how annoying it'd become.

So you wanted to spend your time with other juniors.
I see.

Wait, are you seriously pouting about this?
I went through hell for you to whine that I didn't play with you?
Jealousy isn't a good look, Kasa-kun.

I am not pouting. [ He's pouting. ]
Do not accuse me of something so childish
I am not a baby who would cry simply because you and Leo-san are never around.
I'm just saying it would have been nice to have known you were here.

What exactly happened?

You'll likely be one of the first to know the next time I'm back for work, so is it really such a big deal?
Just be a good boy and wait patiently until then.

Tomoya-kun practically begged me to watch him practice his magic show, so I was giving him critique.
Then when he moved onto the escape magic he messed up and lost the key.
And we ended up... handcuffed together.

It's a long story and I don't feel like explaining it all. What matters is it's over now.

I ought to be the first. I am in charge of our affairs.

It sounds as though you enjoyed helping someone out and had fun playing.

I was NOT playing. If anything I was being played with!
You're so annoying, making it sound like I deserved the inconvenience and brought it upon myself.

[bro u kinda did tho...]

What, do you wish I'd been handcuffed to you instead?
Is that what it is?
Would that have made you happy?
Brat.

I never said any of those things, Sena-senpai.
But at least if we were handcuffed I could keep you and Leo-san around a little longer for work.
I have been too busy to play games
so if I am jealous, it is of your free time.

You're kidding, right? Firstly, I'm not that free. Secondly, be grateful for the work you have. If I hear anything about you slacking off I'll be the first to let you have it.

Also why do you make us sound like a two-for-one deal? It's not like we move as a set. Just because you'd have me doesn't guarantee he'll be around.

I have never slacked off in my life.

[ That... is probably true actually. ]

You mean to tell me that you are not? Since you kidnapped Leo-san, he's been stuck to your side like a puppy.

[He knows this. He knows Kasa-kun is probably physically incapable of slacking off, that his body would rebel if his mind wasn't already rioting — but he can't help but threaten him anyway.

Also, he's only ~~deliberately~~ kidnapped one person in his life and it wasn't that idiot, thanks.]

A puppy would not only be cuter, it would actually listen to me. That guy will still come and go as he pleases, and of course he only shows up when it's convenient for him.

I hear he's pretty easy to find over there, though usually accidental and... half starving to death.
Maybe you should try putting out bait?

Perhaps I ought to take control of Leo-san's schedule and living situation myself? I have no issue assigning a servant to remain at his side at all times.

[ Extreme much ]

[oh HELL no.]

Ha??
Are you trying to say my care is inadequate, Kasa-kun? You're seriously saying that?

You want to make your servants cry that badly? I'm sure there are kinder ways to punish them if they've done something wrong.

It doesn't matter what you pay them; they'll be frustrated to death and running for the hills by the end of the first week.

This shit isn't for the light of heart.

[ But he wants custody. ]

Please do not put words in my mouth, Sena-senpai. I am not saying that. Though I would like Leo to remain closer to home.

I must protest your words though.
The servants of my household are well-trained and reliable staff. I have no doubt that they would execute their duties perfectly.

[Over his dead body. ♥

Sena Izumi does not easily relinquish the things he's been entrusted with, even less so with what he's taken for himself. Good luck getting any of his possessions without a fight.]

Hmm~? The little king's feeling lonely without his court jester?
Why don't you tell him to quit following me around, then? Like a stray dog sniffing out scraps all the time...

Sure, sure. I'm certain your employees are all so fantastic.
But you know just as well as I do, there's no creature out there in this universe or even the next that comes anywhere close to... whatever Leo-kun is.
My heart goes out to whichever poor soul you'd sic on him. Really, it does.

I am not a child, Sena-senpai. I am a grown-up man you know.
I have my hands full running all manner of things.

But it is much quieter when both you and Leo-san are gone.
And while I am doing my best with all of the cute juniors, I do think it will be very strange when both Ritsu-senpai and Narukami-senpai graduate too.

[Eugh. Don't say things like that... Not only does he go back and forth on the pride of seeing Tsukasa mature and the reluctance to accept his changing, but Izumi never goes too long without a pang of guilt at having left the others behind. Still, it does well to remind himself that even for all his selfish actions and decisions, there are people supporting him from behind...]

Well, that's true. "Our" Knights may not be what how we once knew it as, and it's always changing now, but... your duty is to become an upstanding and majestic king, right?

Even if we leave the school, it's not like we're really going anywhere. And by the time it's just you left, you better make sure you've raised good kids who won't just admire you — they should be able to serve as your arms and legs, too.

Not just as your reliable knights, but... shoulders to lean on.

Easy enough, yeah?

[ewwwww look what you made him say...]

[ Friends aren't exactly his forte, and he isn't especially good at figuring out how to interact with peers around his own age. But. When it comes to leading and business, he somehow manages alright. Perhaps, because that is simply what he was raised to do-- take charge. When it comes to guiding the new recruits, he does like to think he is performing decently well, at least.

Even if it is not the same as their core unit. ]

I have conquered the school with the assistance of Sakasaki-senpai.
At the very least, we have an army at our command.
And New Dimension shall be in good shape, moving forward.
I do intend to raise those children properly as an elegant and noble leader because I had splendid examples of my own.
At least when said examples were behaving appropriately.
