Valkyrie

What I did “back in the day”... Like doin' part time jobs at the school, an' bein' in the handicrafts club...?

Ah, does bein' on stage in the underground live house count?

Fumu, the underground stage, hm? The building may have been small, but that location provided us with some very valuable experiences.

I would say that that stage is truly fundamental when speaking of the history of Valkyrie in any capacity.

But I got real startled when Tenshouin-senpai showed up that one time. Though, he was still the president of the student council then.

It did lead to us performin' in the Tanabata Festival, but... When I remember all the dumb stuff he said to us, it still makes me mad~!

Kagehira. We're in the middle of filming—calm yourself.

Besides, did we or did we not completely outdo fine with our performance on the Tanabata stage?

...Yeah. The actual result of the competition was disappointin', but I didn't think fer even a second that we were inferior.

After performin' in Tanabata, we started joinin' other DreFes at school, too. I'm sure that it was the reason we did—I know that much.

DreFes... The sound of that is already so nostalgic. Halloween Party, Star Festival, Chocolate Festival... Repayment Festival.

The Repayment Festival, huh... I wasn't even gonna participate in it, 'till I heard from Naru-chan...

I was thinkin' our performance of triumphal return on the underground stage was gonna be the very last stage I'd ever get t' do together with ya, Oshi-san, y'know?

After that performance, although it was a necessary step in us building a new relationship... I said some things that upset you terribly.

Nnagh~, that's right. Since I thought o' myself as nothin' more than a doll back then. When ya told me that ya wanted me t' become human, I was a bit surprised.

Is that incident really something that you can reconcile as mere surprise? Well, if that's how you wish to see it, then I have no objection.

Aah, I remember that stage like it was yesterday. The tragicomedy we had spun together, the dreams you spoke of as a human being—

...♪

...Hmph. Kagehira, are you even listening to me? You're aware that I'm talking about you at the moment, right?

Ahaha, my bad. Our relationship might've changed since then, but I'm sooo glad that we can still be Valkyrie together, Oshi-san, just like back then... It just makes me so happy. ♪
