[Several days later. Before the diner opens]

Leo: Morning everyone! Guten Morgen ☆
Even though Nazu’s in the same dorm room as me and woke me up so kindly! We’re still a bit late!

Nazuna: I woke him up on time in the morning~. But wasn’t it Leo-chin who said “Let me sleep some more…” ?
Leo: Eh, is that what happened!? Who was it, the guy that borrowed my body to cause trouble!!
I was possessed by an evil spirit! Unforgivable!
But, thanks for letting me sleep in a bit more

Kuro: Well, yer awfully energetic in the early mornin’. Tsukinaga, I mean
Nazuna: I think it’s around this time that Leo-chin returns to Yumenosaki, right~. Don’t get mad for no reason okay?
Leo: Was that right? Forget the apology! So now that I’m back as well, there might be some tension I didn’t know of~?
That must be why we’re roommates staying in the same room right now, time flies by too fast!
Nazuna: Hey, don’t start getting loud again~
Leo-chin, isn’t it strangely less tense than usual? It’s been relatively calm recently, but…

Eichi: Temporary units are quite easygoing in nature aren’t they? As for the members within a standard unit, it’s typical for them to be exposed before expecting eyes
That’s why I too am delighted to have the opportunity to experience the lifestyle as a unit member
Speaking of, a job arose for ‘fine’ that I had considered turning down
Our unit's characteristics didn’t align with the brief, however such jobs are ideal for “Knight Killers”, isn’t that so?
Kuro: Those kinda circumstances often happen with jobs so I’m not surprised. Well, if ya said that boutta powerhouse like “fine”, that might be true
Eichi: Mhm. With each unit having their own distinct personality, such as Akatsuki’s Japanese-style concept, or Ra*bits’ cuteness as their selling point, it would be hard to come by such a strange commission
However with “fine”, there are lots of people that don’t know about the personality of the unit and only commission us for our popularity, so there are many commissions that don’t match our style. That must surely be the fate of the powerful.
Nazuna: Each and every unit has its own troublesome trait, huh
… Anyways, what kind of commission was it?
Eichi: Do you all know what a collab attraction is?
Kuro: Collab attraction…?
Leo: I don’t get it at all! Explain!
Eichi: You know what a “3D ride” is, right?
It’s where 3D imagery is used, but as a way to add to the attraction of a normal ride. Naturally, if there are some areas that haven’t changed in a while, the audience may grow bored
Thus, where the theme park regularly arranges limited edition rides, they’ve substituted in the contents of the “3D ride”.
Currently, imagery is being arranged based on the setting of the famous Japanese game called “Brave Reborn” aka. “B.R.”.
“B.R.” is a roleplaying game from old times, but they’re regularly pushing out new content of high quality
And we, “Knight Killers”, are dressed up as heroes united for the sake of defeating the Demon King
It’s a bit too violent of a world for “fine” to take on, however, it’s difficult to reject the offer from a friend’s manager

Kuro: I see. So Knight Killers was selected outta all the options?
Nazuna: Though, the name ‘Knight Killers’ would be quite troublesome, huh

Eichi: On the contrary, with a name like that we can say that we subdued the Demon King, right? From killer knights to the killing of the Demon King… the mood matches in my opinion.
Leo: Ahh, if that’s the case, how about also rearranging “Knight Killers” to “Satan Killers”?
Eichi: Fufu, “Satan Killers” is fine but, isn’t it a bit cheap?
The Demon King is accompanied by demons, so “Demon Killers” might be better?
Leo: Yeah yeah! Since demons have a dark vibe, "Sparkle Killers"[1] is also good!
Eichi: Fufu. Your interpretation of the theme seems to have a much broader name
The me that subjugated the former “Demon King” Rei Sakuma and attempted to prevent Trickstar’s revolution also holds great significance to it ♪
Kuro: It would be bad if two people got worked up, it’d be complicated don’t cha think.
Is it okay to go by “Knight Killers” for the fans that remember?
Nazuna: Yeah, I agree with Kuro-chin
With whatever our position in Yumenosaki is, it should be fine if just those guys know~
Leo: Maa, there’s too many names to memorise that way
Eichi: That’s because names have a bigger impact that goes beyond one’s imagination. Strangely enough however, they can change bad influences that must not exist
Let’s keep the binding force of the phrase “Knight Killers” just as it is, shall we?
We killer knights announce: the curtains rising once more upon this new battlefield The rising of curtains of this new battle—
… What a bad catchphrase, huh ♪
Kuro: Hah. What kinda exaggerations are you going for, Tenshouin?
More importantly, food orders. Tsukinaga’s also here, so it’s a suitable time to order
Nazuna: That’s right. The partnership we had with the restaurant in “Diner Live” before it opened was a place where we could borrow food from. Let’s order food properly this time
Eichi: ‘You can’t fight on an empty stomach’, right?
I’ll do everyone a favour and pay here. The diner’s regular food is too heavy for the morning, so it’d be good to look at the breakfast section of the menu
Tsukinaga-kun especially, aren’t you prone to living an unhealthy lifestyle? How about ordering salad or soup?
Leo: I don't want to hear that from Tenshi~ 'cause I'm such a healthy, superior child!
Wahaha. ‘Cause it’s the morning, I’m gonna eat a burger that’s got lots of fat and sugar! Sena’s not here today so I can eat anything to my heart’s content… ☆
Eichi: You’re quite upbeat aren’t you. Especially that tenacious stomach of yours
Well, I’ll order a bagel and a salad. Kiryu-kun and Nito-kun as well, please say what you decide on eating
In remembrance of Knight Killers’ past jobs, why don’t we have a simple celebratory party?

[1] “Sparkle” in Japanese would be “kira kira” so Leo’s saying “kira kira kiraazu” here lol. I couldn’t figure out any way to keep the alliteration alongside the meaning :sob: [back]
