[Substory] Seira Sone

Written by: Akira

Characters involved: Seira Sone, Shizuku Fujii

Location: Rock Band Club Room
	Howdy~, it's your Club President, actually♪* *Seira has a verbal tic where she ends her sentences with "keredo" more often than most of the other characters. While it's commonly translated as "but/however," in many cases when "kedo"/"keredo" is used at the end of sentence, the original meaning "but" fades away, and it simply functions as a softener to avoid an abrupt remark. To preserve the tic, I use "actually" as it has a similar function in English.
	Uwahh, someone's come in. ... Club President? Wh-What's going on?
	Eh!? Wh-Wh-Wh-What's with that reaction? Wh-Wh-Wh-Which part of that was weird? I-I-I-It's been a while since I came to the Rock Band Club's Room, so I expected e-e-e-everyone to give me a warm welcome! I thought I was acting normal with normally normal normalcy, and yet...! E-E-E-Even though I practiced saying "Howdy~, it's your Club President, actually♪" hundreds of times in front of a mirror! I PRACTICED, YET...! AAAAH!? WHY DO YOU STARE AT ME SO WITH THAT KIND OF LOOOOOK~!?
	P-Please calm down, Club President! It's okay, there wasn't anything weird about it!
	I-I-Is that true? C-C-C-Can I believe you...!?
	Uwaah, your eyes are swirling around, you know!? Geez, you're seriously scaring me, so can you please cut that out!? Umm, I heard that the Club President was still in the hospital, that's why. But even then, coming into the club room like it's no big deal would only surprise people, unless you let us know in advance!
	I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being inconsiderate of the situation, I'm sorry for this excuse of a Club President! I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR EVER BEING BORN...!
	I-I said it was okay! I got used to troublesome seniors, thanks to Kuromori-senpai! Anyway, please breathe slowly, u~hh? Ah, have some of this tea! Please drink this while you catch your breath!
	Th-Thank you♪ Glug, glug... Phew♪
	Please excuse me holding the cup to your mouth. Er, have you managed to calm down...?
	Mmhmm, I'm sorry about that~? Since I've always been absent, I was terribly anxious about going to school after so long♪ I'm sorry for losing my composure~ Ehehe☆ You're quite the nice girl. Umm, what might your name be?
	Ah, it's Fujii. Shizuku Fujii... I'll be in your care, okay Club President?
	Hmm, Shizuku-chan, is it? Then, why don't I call you "Shizu-chan"♪
	Ah, sure. By the way Club President, were you already discharged from the hospital? Are you going for the feel of resuming your club activities, starting today~?
	Oh no, I'm still being hospitalized, actually... I got permission to go to school today~ I came to pick up my personal guitar, actually. Hey, Shizu-chan. Might you know where my guitar is?
	Your guitar? Aah, come to think of it, Kuromori-senpai said something around of the lines of being entrusted with the Club President's guitar... Errr, I'm sure it's somewhere around here? Aah, it's this one, isn't it? Here you go, Club President... Wait, is it okay for me to be the one to hand it over to you?
	Yup. Clo-chan told me over the phone, "Come pick up your guitar. It's in the club room, so take it whenever ya damn want." So, it's all good♪ The truth is, you see, I found a place where I could play instruments inside the hospital. It's a soundproofed lounge, actually.  Since it seems that I can practice guitar there, I came to pick it up~ Hmm, it's quite sparkly~♪ Clo-chan took very good care of it, didn't she? It's a kind of sparkly that looks as if someone utterly destroyed it once and got it repaired afterward✩
	Urk.
	Hmm? What's wrong? The color of your face doesn't look so good, actually. Would you like some medicine?
	Ah, I mean, that's... Umm, Kuromori-senpai handled that nice guitar roughly, so. Please make sure and confirm that it isn't broken anywhere, okay?
	Hmm, is that so? I see, perhaps Clo-chan has gotten it out of tune? Strum, strum... A nice tone♪ Ahaha, I've become completely terrible, actually. However, I'll practice with all my effort, yes? When I get discharged from the hospital, let's have a jam session with everyone, okay~♪ So that Shizu-chan and everyone else doesn't get dragged down, I'll relearn the guitar right from the fundamentals, actually♪
	(Hm~ Even though the circumstances were weird.) (It seems like the Club President's pretty much a simple-minded but nice person, huh. I'm a bit relieved.) Ahaha. This is a bit out of left field, but Kuromori-senpai gave that guitar a weird name, you know~? With something like "Evil Wyvern Jenocide Dragon," she's got a terrible naming sense, doesn't she?
	Hmm, I suppose so. That's quite like Clo-chan, actually. I see, she calls it "Evil Wyvern Jenocide Dragon," does she? My guitar... I'll tell her that its true name is "Climax Dark Angel"♪* *The guitar's name is written in katakana-English. The pun is that it can also be read as "Kurai MAX Dark Angel", roughly translated as "Maximum Darkness Dark Angel". In other words, Seira's naming sense is as stupidly redundant as Suzu's "Jaryuu Genocide Dragon"/"Evil Dragon Genocide Dragon"
	Th-That's also a flashy naaame~!? Furthermore, you and Kuromori-senpai have just about the same kind of crappy naming seeense~!?
	Eh!? Wh-What? Wh-Wh-Wh-What part of that was weird?
	I mean, uh... It's nothing. I'll refill your tea, okay? Please make yourself at home, Club President.
	Ehehe. Thank you, Shizu-chan♪
	(Hm~ This Club President... I think she's a good person overall, but.) (I'm getting reeeaally fed up dealing with these members......!)
