Chapter 4

 Kei circle Let me tell you a bit about this place. This is a show restaurant by the name of "Starless."

Kei circle You can have a meal as you watch the performance up on stage. The place I led you when you first arrived is the Hall Floor.

Kei circle We act both as a cast up on stage, and as staff in the hall.

Kei circle When the previous place closed, we relocated and reopened, however...

Unei Circle Y-you can't! The president's a bad idea!

Mizuki Circle The hell are you getting in the way for, Unei? Want me to beat you up before I do in the geezer?

Unei Circle What, no!

Unei Circle Mokuren-san, please stop him!

Mokuren Circle Just let him go.

Unei Circle D-don't be like this...

Kei circle Let me tell you their names first.

Kei circle The one acting out is Mizuki, and the spectator is Mokuren.

Kei circle They're not particularly hard to handle. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon.

Kei circle Give me a moment. I'll be back after putting a leash on them.

Kei circle Enough already!

Mizuki Circle Ah, Kei! I'mma break you along with Haseyama!

Kei circle Best not. That's beyond you. There are no benefits in attacking Haseyama.

Kei circle Do you plan on crushing this place with your own hands?

Mizuki Circle Hah? The hell you going on about? I didn't say I was gonna break Starless.

Mokuren Circle You were about to. There's not a thought in your head.

Kei circle Then why did you encourage him?

Mokuren Circle Stopping him's a pain and I hate the owner.

Kei circle This place is necessary for you to dance, isn't it?

Mokuren Circle ......I guess.

Mokuren Circle Mizuki, don't raise your hand against the owner.

Mizuki Circle The hell's with you? You were okay with it a moment ago.

Mokuren Circle I don't care what happens to you, but it'd be troublesome if the store's gone.

Mizuki Circle I'm telling ya it ain't going away.

Mokuren Circle It will.

Mokuren Circle We've thoroughly experience it for the past half year.

Mizuki Circle ......Shut up.

Mizuki Circle Just shut up! Shut up already! It ain't going away! This place ain't going anywhere, got it!?

Kei circle I came here to prevent its collapse. To protect this place.

Kei circle If you consider this place to be indispensible, then you'd best revere the lady here as the Goddess that she is.

Mokuren Circle What lady?

Mizuki Circle You talking 'bout that girl?

You Um, it couldn't be. It's a joke, right?

Kei circle Who else is there, but you, (Name)?

Kei circle I came to protect Starless for your sake.

Mokuren Circle So you had this renewal opening set up all for this "Goddess" of yours?

Kei circle Correct.

Mokuren Circle Hmm. Well then, good to meet you, (Name). Feel free to drop by backstage whenever.

Mizuki Circle What's with that? Isn't she some outsider chick?

You H-he's right! I'd only be in the way!

Mokuren Circle It's fine, okay? Hey, could you tell Kei that the shower rooms are in poor condition?

You Eh, eh, eh?

Mokuren Circle Quickly, now.

You Uh, um, Kei-san, it seems like the shower rooms are in poor condition?

Kei circle ...Can't be helped then. I'll talk it over with Haseyama.

Mokuren Circle This is how it is, Mizuki.

Mizuki Circle What are you going on about?

Mokuren Circle Are you stupid? If you stick by her, you'll have Kei wrapped around your finger.

Mizuki Circle Oh, I get it! Nice!

Mokuren Circle I can't stand such the backstage being so run down to where even getting up on stage is a problem.

Mokuren Circle I'll pay any price to fulfill this desire.

You Ehhhhhh!? That's impossible!

Mizuki Circle Stop complaining and just keep coming.

Mizuki Circle If ya don't, then I'll come find ya. I'll bring you here even if I gotta drag you the whole way!

You That's not right! Kei-san, please stop them!

Kei circle No, that's a fine idea. Someone should accompany you here everyday.

Kei circle Unei, prepare a backstage pass for her. Make sure you fulfill her every wish.

Kei circle Arrange an environment that makes it easy for her to support us, including services.

Unei Circle Eh!? Wait, me!?

Kei circle Who else is there but you?

Kei circle Her existence is indispensable to Starless.

Kei circle Far more than you lot think. ——And much more than you believe as well.

Like so, you end up coming to visit Starless, regardless of your will.

All while unaware that this will alter your fate——
