Meowsketeers | The Cat and the Musketeer - 2

[kumakuma]

〈Location: Simple Studio〉

Leo: In any case, he’s late, that Suo~!

He gets angry when I come late so I came early today. What a troublesome guy!


Izumi: Honestly. It’s unbelievable that he’s wasting my precious time! Soo~ annoying!

Could it be that Leo-kun’s wanderlust infected Kasa-kun?


Leo: Eh? What what? That’s an interesting idea~ Sena!

Wahaha. It’s the fate of ‘Knights’s leader to be cursed by wanderlust!

I was tormented by the curse for many years and in the end Suo~’s inherited it......☆


Arashi: If such a curse existed, it’s becoming a real nuisance.

A~ah, I’m really glad I wasn’t the one to take over the title of ‘Ousama’.


Izumi: Really though. You say that like it’s a joke, but what about that fight you had over the throne in ‘Requiem’? Isn’t that putting it too lightly?

Whatever. If ‘Ousama’ becomes overly authoritative, it’ll be a new kind of difficult.


Leo: Yep yep. Unless it’s an ‘Ousama’ who brings happiness to his people!

Unless, ‘Ousama’ is completely alone. In which case me leaving the throne to Suo~ would become kind of meaningless you know~?


Izumi: Nevertheless, that doesn’t give him the right to be late. Really, just where the hell is he......?

You’ve seen my schedule in my phone haven’t you, Leo-kun? You know how I can’t even stay in Japan for a week, right?


Leo: I’ve seen it, but-

If you’re so concerned about your schedule, then why don’t you marry it!¹


Izumi: No, I don’t think you understood what I meant.


Suou: (Wheeze) Haah...... Sorry to have kept you waiting everyone.


Leo: Oh? Speak of the devil!


Izumi: Kasa-kun, you’re already 30 minutes late. What is the meaning of this?


Suou: Please excuse me. I was going to go call Ritsu-senpai but I got involved in a little incident.


Arashi: A little incident? Speaking of, I don’t see Ritsu-chan here, did something happen?


Suou: Yeah. To be honest―


Ritsu: I told you to let go of me didn’t I! Why can’t you understand me you stupid cat......!

Do my clothes smell like catnip......?


Suou: ―a stray cat got attached to Ritsu-senpai and won’t let go of him.


Izumi: Unbelievable. This is why you were late?

This is your best excuse? Now why don’t you tell me why you were actually late?


Ritsu: I’m sorry. This guy absolutely will not let go of me. The ES building strictly forbids animals, so it must have had a hard time getting in.


Izumi: There’s got to be some way to pull it off? Come on. If you hold it by the neck like how a parent cat carries a kitten―

Owah. This guy tried to scratch me! If you were human and you tried to hurt a model’s skin, you’d have to pay compensation, you know~?


Leo: Wahaha. You’re scaring the cat! It looks so funny with its fur all standing up on end~♪

Aah, inspiration is flowing!

How about “I stepped on a cat~ intense version”, that sort of song~? Umm, gimme something to write with something to write with…...


Arashi: Come on. Let’s not get irritated alright, Izumi-chan? Don’t you go making it worse too, Leo-kun.

Hey hey, let’s just move on and start the retrospective.


Suou: That’s right, Narukami-senpai. I’m thinking, if we just ignore the cat, it’ll most likely let go.

Well then, Narukami-senpai, can you play the video of the live?


Arashi: Yeah. It’s ready like you asked for.

Ufufu. Everyone is excited to see our charm ♪


Leo: Hold it! The video right there!


Arashi: ? What is it, Leo-kun? Did you find a mistake?


Leo: No that’s not it! Look here, at the front row seats!


Ritsu: I don’t see anything……? You’re not going to say something like "My level of inspiration's finally high enough to let me see ghosts" are you?


Leo: Over here, look reaally closely by this fan’s feet. Look, it’s a little hard to see since it’s black, but you can just make out Rittsu’s beloved cat!

This guy, it saw Rittsu at ‘Knights’s live and came to meet him!


Ritsu: Haa……? No way it’d be something so unrealistic…...?

Owah, what? Don’t suddenly start licking my cheek~?


Suou: Such a reaction, it probably really did come to meet ‘Knights’.

Isn’t it just the cutest? It probably fell in love with Ritsu-senpai’s brave figure at the live ♪


Arashi: Ufufu. Ritsu-chan’s a lot like a black cat, so maybe it sensed that the two of you were similar and became your fan?

Look here. Even though it’s a stray cat, it’s fur is surprisingly clean ♪


Ritsu: Don’t say things so nonchalantly! This absolutely is no longer your beloved retrospective at all! Secchan, you too, isn’t this taking up your precious time......?


Izumi: Well, ‘Knights’ cherishes their fans after all.

If you’re getting so much love, then don’t think too hard on it, alright? I’ve already given up...... ♪


Leo: Is that so~? Then you’ll just have to let the cat do as it likes until it’s satisfied, Rittsu ☆


Ritsu: Ughh, can you guys stop thinking “It’s a cute cat, so let's let it do whatever it wants”!?

To me it’s an unlucky black cat! Aah come on, what a disaster……!






Notes:
¹ the Japanese says ‘become Schedule-san’s child’, but ‘why don’t you marry it’ feels like a more accurate English version
