Huh? Yeah, Ena's my sister...

Really?! I knew it!

So you're a student here too?!　

And based on the fact that you're in the class doing the haunted house, you must be the same year as me.

I had no idea we were the same age.

Ena should've told me!

Sorry, but who are you...?

Oh, I'm Mizuki Akiyama from Class 1-A.

Ena and I are... Close friends, I guess?

Oh, and what's your name?

Toya Aoyagi, Class 1-B.

Toya, got it!

Nice to meet the both of you!

Anyhow, Li'l Bro, is Ena here today?

Li'l Bro...?

Sigh... I have no idea what my sister is up to.

She's probably still sleeping as usual.

Aw, I knew it.

I thought we could hang out if she was here.

Oh well. I'll just enjoy the festival on my own.

Is there anything worth seeing in the gym?

It was Akiyama, right?

You're welcome to join us if you'd like.

Huh?

My friend's play is starting soon, so I was going to head that way. How would you like to come along?

Oh, is that what you were talking about earlier?

Is this friend you're talking about that Tsukasa guy you introduced me to before?

Yeah. He even wrote the script himself and he's playing the lead.

Huh, that sounds cool! I don't get to see plays often, so it'll be a treat!

I mean, if you really don't mind having me around that is.

The more people that come to see Tsukasa's performance, the better. You coming, Akito?

Fine, whatever...

So he's actually gonna perform, huh?

Yay! Thanks, Li'l Bro! Toya! What are we still doing here? Let's go ♪

Hey, don't pull...! And knock it off with the Li'l Bro stuff, will you... Whoa!

Wow! They've got a big audience!

No doubt they're all here to see Tsukasa's performance.

You sure about that...?

The play's called Romeo: Battle Royale...

It sounds like a B-list movie...

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Oh, we can snag the front seats too!

Exactly my thinking. This way, we'll get the best view of Tsukasa in action.

You actually seem excited, Toya...

Do I?

Attention, please. The performance will begin shortly.

Please be aware this play features battle scenes. We would like to ask those sitting in the front row to be careful.

What kind of battle scenes do you think they're doing?

I'm not sure, but if they involve Tsukasa, they're guaranteed to be unbelievable.

Not necessarily in a good way...

We now present to you... Romeo: Battle Royale!

I am Sickle and Chain Romeo!!

I've come to end you... Hyaaaaargh!!

Morning Star Romeo is my name!!

No other Romeo stands a chance... Aaargh!!

Hmph! Weaklings! I am the most powerful of all, for they call me Swordmaster Romeo! You pathetic worms don't deserve to bear the same name as I!

Hahahaha! What's going on here?!

Not a clue...

If only you trained for a hundred million light years more, you may've been a worthy rival. Alas, I shall erase you from existence here and now!

Wait, aren't light years a unit of distance?

Did he make a mistake?

I don't think so. If Tsukasa put that in the script, it must have some deeper meaning.

No, I really doubt that...

I shall defeat every last one of you and win the heart of my beloved Juliet!

Ha ha ha ha ha!
