Yuno’s Thoughts On Aoyama Division

Tomi Choten

“I hate to say it, However Choten…He’s a special case? Okay, Maybe he’s just your average rich guy well off in Aoyama. However, I’m sensing something is motivating his demeanour somehow… Regardless, Choten is all the same to me. Rich, Fancy, Blunt and egoistic to name quite a few. Aside from that, There’s nothing else to be said here. I hope he’s a good husband to Lady Kobayashi too, Love is a tricky thing to handle and take care of, Quite a battlefield as the books say…”

Karada Kessaku

“Kessaku? Ah, Aoyama’s bodybuilder. I guess he’s a nice individual here. Other than our little ‘birthday surprise’, + Choten and Lady Kobayashi’s wedding, That is all the interactions I’ve had. Although, My minds telling me he’s alright for a division member. Nike, The Greek goddess of victory. Nice MC name as well…Maybe there is more than meets the eye to him. In that case, I’ll see if I can find out more. In the meantime, The DRB is only drawing closer and closer…”

Luis Kokyu

“Kokyu Luis. He’s Aoyama’s butler, Isn’t he? Mhm…I really have no comments at this point. Sure, I’m also a butler, Though I have nothing to say about him really… Well, At least he isn’t the only butler around. There’s also the one from Obihiro, Verrill I imagine his name is. So far, That’s 3 DRB butlers…Hmm, He’s a pyrotechnic in disguise? Scary~. I wonder if he has random matches in his pockets somewhere… Anyways, I’ll stay off Kokyu’s radar for now, Until the time comes to see what secrets he’s been hiding.”

Jet Set Trio

“Choten’s team, I’m at a crossroad for either ignoring or pitying them. He’s created a strong team for Aoyama Division, Including His ‘blunt attitude’, Kessaku’s immense strength and Kokyu’s support to name a few here. And the fact a selfless butler such as myself doesn’t seem as ‘popular’ in Fukuoka too… I hope they can keep their cool, It would be such a shame if the DRB was remodelled into a popularity contest of some kind, Hehe~… I can’t wait, Meeting Choten again with an actual game face will be truly interesting~…”

[katsushika-division]

@aoyama-division Hehehehe...Sorry not sorry

The sun was high in the sky as it shone brightly upon the division of Aoyama and Karada Kessaku was in his kitchen making a protein shake for a quick workout before he had to get ready for a party his friend and leader Tomi Chōten was throwing in his honor at his manor. Karada quickly moved around in his kitchen. The only noise filling the air was the TV on the news channel. 

“Seems like last night another blood ba-”  

Karada turned off the TV, not at all bothered to learn what the news anchor was about to say. Probably another sob story going on somewhere in the country, but what else was new? He didn’t have time to hear it, not when he had a party thrown in his honor to attend soon. This was going to be one of the best birthdays ever! Nothing was going to ruin it! 

A Few Hours Later…

The sun had long since set, and the Chōten Manor was in full swing as nearly all of the Aoyama Elite was there to celebrate the birthday of one of its members. That person was none other than Karada Kessaku, who was busy with being wished a Happy Birthday, being given gifts, and generally enjoying himself. Karada, seeing Tomi and Luis, excused himself from his current conversation and excitedly walked over to his teammates. 

“Tomi! Luis!” Karada loudly exclaimed,  waving at them. “Killer party, as usual, man!” 

“To be expected. As if I would throw a subpar event.” Tomi bragged, preening like a peacock. Luis rolled his eyes at the statement, too, used to his leader’s haughty attitude. 

“Happy Birthday, Karada.” The chef genuinely told his friend. 

“Hahaha! Thanks, guys!” 

“Of course,” Tomi announced, snapping his fingers and summoning a servant carrying a tray with three glasses filled to the brim with champagne on it. “This party was thrown for you, Karada. A close friend of mine” All three men grabbed the glass that was offered to them and were prepared to drink in honor of Karada’s birthday. However, just before they could toast their drinks together, a loud, sudden laugh led all three men to jump up in shock.

“HAHAHAHA!”

The entire party fell silent as the laugh echoed across the room, making it hard to pinpoint exactly where it was coming from. 

“Who goes there?!” Tomi shouted angered that someone had dared to interrupt one of his parties. “Reveal yourself!” 

The socialite quickly got his wish as a figure landed in a crouch in front of Jet Set Trio. Rising from their position, everyone could get a good look at them. They were female and wore a black Kevlar body suit with a black trench coat trailing behind them. A black gas mask covered the bottom half of their face, preventing anyone from learning her identity but did nothing to hide the figure’s gold eyes that shined with malicious excitement. It did not take long for everyone to recognize her as “Cinder” the psychotic criminal currently at the top of Chuohku’s most wanted list. 

“What a warm welcome,” Cinder mocked, her voice sounding robotic due to a voice modulator in her mask. “I should expect nothing else from the so-called “elite” of Aoyama.” 

“How did you manage to sneak past security?” Tomi demanded from the known criminal. 

“You call that security?” Cinder laughed. “They were pathetic! All it took was a couple hundred volts of electricity, and they were out. So much for the Chōten family hiring only the best of the best.”

“What do you want?” Luis cautiously questioned, knowing full well what Cinder was capable of doing. 

“Me? Nothing, really.” Cinder drawled out with no one believing her words.  “But…..” The pyromaniac criminal pointed at Karada, causing him to jump a bit. “Someone wants to send you a gift, Karada Kessaku, and I’m more than willing to deliver~!” 

“W-w-what?” Karada sputtered, racking his head, trying to figure out who he had pissed off enough to send this psycho after him. Cinder just continued to stare at Karada, and if anyone could remove her mask, they would only find a deranged smile waiting for them. 

“If you think we’ll let you just harm Karada-” Luis growled, bringing himself to his full height in an attempt to intimidate the criminal. 

“Oh please, if I wanted to harm the idiot I would have placed a bomb inside the manor and just detonated it.” Cinder rolled her eyes, not at all scared by Luis' silly little display. “No someone asked for something with a bit more horror. Now I do believe it’s gift time!” 

“No, you dont!” Tomi shouted, pulling out his mic from inside his suit jacket. The rest of his team followed suit and pulled out their mics.

“How cute but too late! The show is about to start!” Cinder giggled. Then, before anyone could move an inch, Cinder snapped her fingers, and that’s when all hell broke loose. 

*Bang*

Karada jumped at the loud noise, afraid the criminal had set off a bomb. What happened next had almost made the bodybuilder wish she had set off one. To the horror of all the guests in the room, a waterfall of red liquid fell upon Karada and the rest of JST. Immediately, a metallic scent hit everyone, letting them all know what exactly they had been completely drenched in from head to toe. 

“Hahaha! This was so worth the trouble of robbing all those blood banks!” 

JST froze at her words, taking a minute to process what she had said, their faces twisting into a mix of disgust and horror, but before they could react further, Cinder once again snapped her fingers. 

*Bang*

Once again, a loud noise was heard, and sure enough, another waterfall of liquid fell on Aoyama’s team. This time, much to everyone’s horror, something black and goo-like fell from the ceiling, landing all over and around JST. The smell emanating from it was unbearable, smelling like decaying flesh. Cinder didn’t even flinch when she heard someone screaming from behind her too amused with the sight of JST gagging and nearly vomiting as the black goo entered their mouths to care. 

“Oh, am I glad I agreed to do this!” Cinder maniacally laughed. Turning on her heels, Cinder took in the sight of the audience, and to her glee, all of them were frozen in horrified shock at what had just happened. Not a person bothered to move as the criminal walked past the crowd parting like Moses and the Red Sea as no one wanted to be the deranged criminal’s next victim. Stopping in front of a window where Cinder mockingly bowed to them. “Bitches and Bastards of Aoyama I do hope you enjoyed this little show put on by the illustrious Cinder! Save your applause, please. It should go to the mastermind behind this glorious show, not me. Now that my work here is done I must bid you all adieu. Before I go one last thing…”

Then for the third time in a row, Cinder again snapped her fingers and the audience held their breath wondering what would fall next. The next few seconds were agony as everyone kept their eyes on JST, not even bothering to turn around when they heard the window being smashed as Cinder escaped out of it. The sound of her mad laughter grew fainter and fainter as she disappeared into the night. 

Finally after what seemed like an eternity instead of something disgustingly horrifying falling on JST again this time a banner fell from the ceiling with a message on it. It was short and to the point having been scrawled in a dark red, leaving many morbidly to wonder if it was written in blood. 

“FUCK YOU DEAD MEAT”

Several Days Ago…

“So why do you want to mess with that muscle-headed idiot, Touya-nii?”

“He made the grave mistake of insulting my darling Kai-chan recently on PROFILE. So it’s only fair that I get a little bit of revenge.”

“Uh huh… and would this not be considered a violation of your parole? Not that I give a damn if you kill the brain-dead bastard but if you get caught, aren't you afraid this will send you back to prison?”

“As much as I would love to RiP oUt HiS hEaRt and give it to Kai-chan as a gift you’re right about that it would send me back to prison but that’s only if I physically harm someone there's nothing that says I can’t psychologically harm them.” 

“Ooooh, that's devious and surprisingly smart of you,” Akari smirked.

“I spent a good chunk of my life on the streets Kari-chan. I didn’t survive by being a complete idiot.” Touya shrugged his shoulders. “Besides, I wanna see the smile on Kai-chan’s face when I show him the aftermath.” The blue-haired male swooned, already imagining the look on Kaiji’s face.

“There it is. So you’re using this as a reason to impress Kaiji while at the same time knocking down one of those rich Aoyama bastards down a peg…Alright, I’m in. What are you thinking about?” 

“Have you ever seen the movie “Carrie” Kari-chan~?”

“Oh, Oh, I like where this is heading…Tell me more, Touya-nii.”

Now In Katsushika…

Touya hummed as he sat on the vanity in his bedroom, getting ready to go down to Kobe to spend time with Kaiji. He had gotten special approval from his parole officer to spend the night as a reward for “good behavior”. How hilarious. However, Touya wasn't going to let go of this chance to spend the night at Kaiji’s. 

A huge smile spread across Touya’s face he saw his phone blow up with all sorts of notifications from PROFILE. Then, much to Touya’s delight, his phone lit up with Akari’s caller ID, and he quickly answered it, placing the phone up to his ear.

“Kari-chan~!”

“You should’ve seen his fucking face Touya-nii! Hahaha! Oh, it was priceless! I even managed to get the rest of those Jet Set Bastards too!”

“Thanks, Kari-chan! I owe you a favor big time! I know it was probably a headache to break in and set up everything.”

“Don’t worry about it. I managed to snatch a couple of expensive items from the Chōten Manor plus seeing them like that is more than payment enough. Anyway, I’m sending you the video so you can surprise Kaiji with it.” 

“I can’t wait to show him! He’s going to love it~!” Touya laughed, kicking his legs together in glee. “Alright, I need to finish getting ready Kari-chan. So I'll see you later!”

“See ya Touya-nii. Have fun.” 

“Oh, I will Kari-chan. Bye-bye~!”

Hanging up the call Touya was not surprised when just a few seconds later a message from Akari popped up on his screen. Seeing the video the deranged boy hit play and watched the shitshow that had just happened. As he watched the video Touya couldn’t help the laughter that slipped out of his mouth. It grew more and more unhinged the longer he viewed it until Touya was nearly shrieking with laughter. 

“HAHAHAHA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU BASTARD!” 

Happy Birthday Karada! 😈

The Hegemony Wedding Ceremony (Jet Set Trio Voicelines Ver.)

— Tomi

"...You know, when my younger brother mentioned he had already gotten married, I... I kinda envied him a bit. I always dreamed of being able to have my own wedding, but... I kept telling myself that I don't think I would ever find a woman that I would want to spend my life with. My brother would tell me that I just had to keep searching. Eventually, I got so tired of it that I wanted to quit. But... I'm glad that I didn't. Cause if I had, I'd have never found Miho-san. I am... really grateful for that."

(To Karada) "Karada. I won't ask how you managed to get Luis, of all people, to attend my wedding. When I asked, he swore up and down that he wouldn't come. But... maybe he felt if it came from you, it would be better. I don't know. Anyway, thank you for convincing him to come. Thank you for being here. And... thank you for being one of the few people I can call a friend."

(To Luis) "Kōkyū. ...I won't ask why you chose to deny my invitation, but accepted Karada's. Perhaps, you felt it would be better if it came from him? Well, regardless, thank you for showing up. And thanks for not putting your squabbles with my wife off to the side for just one day. ...Oh, and thank you also for the wonderous wedding cake. Your skill at cooking never ceases to amaze me."

(To Ritsuko) "...Okada-san. I won't ask how you managed to infiltrate this event, so I'll chalk it up due to you being my darling wife's closest confidant. ...You need not threaten me to prove your point, Okada-san. The last thing I'd ever want is to hurt Miho-san. I'd sooner hurt myself than do anything that would inflict harm upon her. Now, if you're quite done being dramatic..."

(To Sumire) "...I'm not even going to pretend that I'm happy to see you here. You don't care for me, and you know I don't care for you, you menace to society. It's only because you are my darling wife's niece that I'm allowing you to stay here. But rest assured, if anything goes out of place here and I get even the slight feeling that you are involved in some form or manner, I won't hesitate to have security throw you out. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I do not wish to be in your presence any longer than I have to."

(To Miho) "You look as beautiful as the day I first laid eyes on you, my queen. I know I said this before, but… a man could spend a lifetime searching for a good thing, and he could never find it. Either because he wasn't looking hard enough, or because he wasn't paying attention. …Fortunately for me, my eyes were open when I laid sight on you, my beautiful wife. Words can't express how I feel about you, and how happy I am that you will be in my life. So... thank you, my queen, and my love."

— Karada

"Man, Tomi and Miho-san sure went all out for this wedding! I guess it's no surprise considering their two of the richest people in Japan. But man, would you look at this place? I haven't been to too many weddings before, but... wow! ...Oh, they got those little hot dog wieners in a toasted bun! ...And a chocolate fountain?! Man, they hooked this place up!"

(To Tomi) "Hey, Tomi! Congratulations again, man! I'm really happy for you! You and Miho-san are gonna make a good couple, I know it! ...Ha, don't mention it! I know what to say to Lu to get him to relent, so don't you worry! ...Aw, Tomi, man. You're gonna make me cry, dude. Today's your big day, not mine! ...But thanks, man. I'm glad you're my friend, too."

(To Luis) "Man, Lu! Sick wedding, don't you think? Miho and Tomi really made this place their own! ...Aw, come on, Lu! You can't at least, pretend, to be happy for the two of them? This is their big day, man! ...Look, I asked you to come because, believe it or not, Tomi was really nervous about this, man. I figured, what better way to show his support than having his two best bros by his side to help him. So... can you just show your support for him, this once? Please? ...Great! Thanks a lot, Lu!"

(To Ritsuko) "Ritsuko! How are..." *Looks at the spider in her hand, and screams out loud, running away from her*

(To Sumire) "Sumire! Surprised to see... oh, uhh... okay. I'll... I'll just leave you alone then. Sorry... Small-dick? Yeah right. Bet the closest someone like her has seen a penis is through a T.V. screen or something..."

(To Miho) "Hey, it's the Lady of the Hour, herself! Congratulations, Miho-san! I'm really happy for you and Tomi, both! I hope you both make each other really happy! Well, I don't want to take up too much of your time, so I'll get. But congratulations again!"

— Luis

*Inhales some nicotine from a cigarette before exhaling* "Seriously, why did Karada have to drag me here to this? Not that I'm not happy for the "happy couple", but there are plenty of other things I could be doing right now. Plus, and this is probably just because of my homelife, but I don't see the point in weddings, exchanging vows. I mean, I know there's an order to everything, but what's the point? I don't want to say Tomi and Miho are anything like my parents, but... well, I'll just leave it at that."

(To Tomi) "...Chōten. ...You can ask why I denied your invitation. I can't guarantee you'll get a reply, or at least one that you'll like, though. ...Your welcome, I guess. ...Yeah, you have Karada to thank for that cake. If not for him begging me, I wouldn't have made it. But don't worry, I'll send you an invoice for it later."

(To Karada) "Hey Karada. ...Yeah, whatever you say. ...What do you mean? I am happy for them. ...What do you want me to do? Jump up and down, yelling, 'Congratulations, Tomi and Miho! May you have a long and healthy life together!'? *Sighs* ...Fine, okay. I'll deign to be more approachable, but that's all you're getting out of me. ...Yeah, sure."

(To Ritsuko) "...Okada-san. ...Glad you enjoyed it. I'll try to remember to send you the recipe for your birthday next year."

(To Sumire) "Hey, Sumire. ...Meh, she's still not one of my favorite people, but... well, I promised I'd be courteous on her special day, so... yeah. ...Ha, Tomi? Blackmail me? He can certainly try. ...Yeah, good to see you too. Later."

(To Miho) "...Kobayashi. ...Yeah, glad you liked it, I guess. ...And congratulations and all that."

Round 3 — Fashion Show

Theme: “Cosplay Round”

Contestants: Lola Takahashi & Karada Kessaku

Divisions: Saitama & Aoyama

“Cosplay? Uh, can’t say I’m all too familiar with it. I mean, I’ve modeled for video games and anime before but not as often, especially compared to Kaiji.”

“Grrr, I still can’t believe that we’re tied with those freaks! I mean, were they even allowed to do what they did during the talent show?!”

“Eh, I enjoyed it and cool it, you. We still got a chance to turn this around. Speaking of which, nice idea with the characters to cosplay, I’ve never seen Cowboy Bebop but man, wearing stuff like this really takes me back.”

*Stares shamelessly at Lola* “…”

“Goddamnit not again, *claps hands in front of Karada’s face* KARADA! Wake up!”

“Gah!…Crap, sorry Lola! You…seriously look good in that. You’re like the real life Julia!”

“Aww, thanks babes, you look nice yourself, like a…really buff Spike.”

*Flex muscles* “Hell yeah!”

[minato-division03]

@aoyama-division Have fun, boys!

The place was filled with guests— estimated to be close to around five hundred people, all dressed in their absolute finest and completely masking over the waiters carrying trays of hors d’œvres or beverages. Despite the mass of people, the venue was far from compact or cramped.

Round tables with gorgeous tablecloths that draped over, several artwork displayed on the light walls, and twinkling green lights decorated the columns and greenery. Classical music was playing, setting the mood for the day that would go on until the evening.

In the heart of the venue was a round table that seated the three stars of the night: Tomi Chōten, Karada Kessaku, and Luis Kōkyū. Nothing but the best for the three men who would soon be representing the city of Aoyama in the upcoming Division Rap Battle, celebrating their third year together as a team.

The three were chatting on their own while a waiter served them chutes of champagne. Paying the waiter no mind, they each picked up their chutes and clinked them together, the light chime a pleasant sound amidst the many chatters throughout the gala hall. Wasting no time, they each sipped from their glasses, paying little attention to the taste of the beverage.

Really and truly.

Nothing but the best.

Part 2 will release in just a bit, so sit back and hang tight!

[akihabara-division03]

Anika’s Thoughts on Aoyama Division

Tomi Chōten

“Hmm… I could say lots of things, but it wouldn’t exactly be very befitting of me… How do I put this in the least offensive way possible…”

“Jackass. Kinda reminds me of family. It’s people like him that make me glad I’m deaf.”

“Whoops, did I just say that out loud? Hehe!”

Karada Kessaku

“Ah… bodybuilders and athletes have never exactly been known to get along… He looks pretty friendly, though! He seems silly and a bit goofy, just like me! And we’re almost the same age, too, maybe we’d get along!”

“I’m sorry? He only trains women? And he has a habit of hitting on them? Uh huh…” she shivered. “Oh geez… that’s kinda creepy… is it just me? Yeah, no, maybe I take it back, I don’t think I wanna get along with him…”

Luis Kōkyū

“Oh whew, finally! A less… concerning member from this team… Hehe, ever since Shian first started talking about how good this guy’s food is, I’ve been wanting to go to his restaurant with Makina myself. But my god if the prices aren’t a heart attack on a menu… Maybe on a special occasion like Makina’s birthday.”

“I’ve been told that despite his cold demeanor, he’s very family-oriented. Can’t say I relate, myself, but several of my clients are family-people so it’s nice to know that there are those out there that have positive relationships with their relatives. Good on them!”

Jet Set Trio

“Hmmm… a team with a narcissist of a leader… a bodybuilder with a somewhat lower IQ… and a chef with his guard up high…”

Aoyama…

Honestly, because Aoyama is a small section of Minato, I took it upon myself to look into them some more…

I can’t hear what their delivery or flow sound like, but some people have subtitled their lyrics online.

As far as lyrics are concerned…

There is an easy way to get these guys to crumble. Too easy.

Anika shook her head and leaned back in her seat. Aoyama… Minato…

Don’t give it too much thought… It’s probably just a coincidence… these guys’re probably unrelated to that.

Unrelated…

Probably…

Related or not, I’ll still get all of my questions answered, I swear it.

[niigata-division]

Seiji's Thoughts on Aoyama Division

Tomi Chōten

“I have not had the…pleasure of meeting anyone from the Chtōen Family before and I'm extremely glad for that if this is what one of their members is like,” Seiji motioned to Tomi’s photo in front of him. “All I know about him is what I've heard secondhand from Ayumu and Nora.  Frankly, it doesn't paint a pretty picture. A self-absorbed narcissist is what they call him and that’s them being nice. I would personally be glad if I never had to meet him by that description. It makes me glad that Ayumu didn't grow up and become like him. Granted I would’ve knocked him on his ass if he acted like that when we were younger.” 

Karada Kessaku

“A bodybuilder?” Seiji questioned. “Fitting I suppose given his physique. However, If he's anything like some of these numbskulls that come to Niigata to become police officers then I can’t see him going very far in life. So if you ask me he should stop hitting the gym to work on his muscles and instead pick up a book to work on his brain once in a while.” 

Luis Kōkyū

“Again much like his leader all I know of Luis I hear second hand from Ayumu and Nora.  From what I've heard he's infinitely easier to talk to than Chōten. So I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not a complete bastard but the bar is not high given what Chōten is like.” Seiji raised his eyebrow. “They do mention his food is quite delicious. Normally I wouldn't mind trying new foods but it's located in Aoyama and I would rather not step foot in that division if I can help it.” 

Jet Set Trio 

“I can just hear my wife’s voice telling me that if we ever go up against them to ‘kick their sorry rich asses’. She never did like the rich Ayumu being the only exception.” Seiji sighs. “Frankly every time I look at this team all I see is a bunch of wealthy assholes with their egos coming from how much supposedly “better” than the rest of us. If you ask me I don’t see this team as a major threat considering how badly they lost to Ueno Divison’s Sakurai Clan.”

Ayame's thoughts on Aoyama Division

Tomi Chōten

"i don't meet him personally because i not go to galas often,no one of us do it but when i go with Reiji and kei i think saw him once but i don't remember well, besides the fact his mother sometimes buy a few of the jewels designed by me... according to Reiji apparently he know about my past in the sexual work but it not mind me...my past is the past and although i don't sell myself still having sex often and i enjoys it....even if my body is corrupted"

Karada Kessaku

"i remember saw him once, when i did a dance perfomance in a night i see him for a moment, apparently he stopped by the street where i was dancing but Reiji told me more about him apparently he's a personal trainer and bodybuilder but i don't know more"

Luis kōkyū

"contrary to Reiji and Kei i go a bit more often than them to his restaurant when i need eat something after a perfomance, it's one of my favorites places to eat apparently Reiji feels dislike for kōkyū san but when i asked him he said some about his "darling"-Ayame sighed and appart the look

"Reiji and Kei needs to realice that their way of love isn't a good type of love buy that moment still very away"

Jet Set Trio

"i-i don't know what should say about this team,they seems to have the code of "money,power, respect" and they are very know in other divisions but...they have a lose in this tournament from they first battle but in wonder how could be they second battle"

Kaede's thoughts on Aoyama Division

Tomi Chōten

"i meet him...my family was prestigous artists and singers and how their heir and only survivor sometimes i need to go Aoyama for fancy gatherings or a perfomances... sometimes i saw him but i never talk to him"

Karada Kessaku

"a bodybuilder?...i not like muscles men. although he seems nice but...with no much here"-said Kaede pointing at his forehead

Luis kōkyū

"Eden can say more about him than me...i know he's a chef and have a restaurant in aoyama apparently he goes with his siblings,Aoba and Kururi. He seem like someone decente,unlike his teammates,why he spend time with them i don't know"

Jet Set Trio

"the representive team of the most rich division...i don't know what's exactly hope from them considering how they losed againts Ueno but i have my expectatives since the Kumamoto's team appeared"

Kaede low his look pensative

"they are useless for me"

Mai’s Thoughts On Aoyama Division

Tomi Choten

“Let’s make this hasty… Choten, How do I say it? Ah, He’s well off. Nobody out here can say with a straight face they haven’t known Choten’s wealthy life, Seriously. Okay, He’s not all set in stone. I mean, He showed ‘decent’ respect at the wedding… Regardless, I’m rather neutral. Is he good? Bad? Down the middle? I don’t know! Whatever, I hope Aoyama’s ‘king’ can show his true colours someday. There’s gotta be something behind all that regalia…”

Karada Kessaku

“He’s the bodybuilder in Aoyama we surprised on his birthday, Right? That’s him! Kessaku Karada, Huh? He sounds like a pretty nice guy~! Well, For Aoyama standards, Not stuck up or anything ‘at the moment…’ Anyways, ‘Nike?’ She’s the Greek goddess equivalent of victory, Fits for a strong figure like him! Hmm, Maybe I can learn more about him somewhere, Does his job have an online website? I’ll see. If not, It’ll be fun to see if we cross paths in the coming DRB~…!”

Luis Kokyu

“Ko-kyu? Another unfamiliar name, Though he sounds familiar. Where have I seen him…Oh! Chotens wedding, Right~! He was one of the groomsmen, Wasn’t he? Hm, He’s also a butler around here. Aoyama is a rich neighbourhood, So that makes sense…Wait, He’s a pyrotechnic or something?! Jeez, That’s new…And scary… He’s not much interest here with this team, It’ll be easy to ignore him for the time being. Then again, What if we face them if we beat MIHANASA first? Agh~~~!…”

Jet Set Trio

“Huh, One of the ‘confident’ DRB teams. So they’re here to prove they are ‘just much better’ than everyone else? Sounds like another similar division named M.T.C… So Aoyama is one of Japan’s most richest neighbourhoods? I see…Really selling it with a ‘popularity contest’ team too… Meeting Choten at his wedding also was a minor plus, Well, My gift was sort of a waste, Wasn’t it? I’ll see if Onii-san can find out more on Jet Set Trio, Maybe we can find out if they’re really as flashy as they present themselves…”

Round 1 — Fashion Show

Theme: “Opposite Day!”

Contestants: Lola Takahashi & Karada Kessaku

Divisions: Saitama & Aoyama

“Man, Chuohku sure loves their pageants huh? I mean, I’m not complaining, I’d never let the opportunity pass to show off this drop dead gorgeous body of mine. I just wish the theme of this whole thing was different, ah! Moving on, I’ll admit, this was a bit of a challenge and it’s only the first round, Karada babe, after this, we’re seriously going on a much needed shopping trip, I was lucky to even find the clothes you got on now.”

*Stares shamelessly at Lola* “…”

“Heeeellooooo? Babes?”

*Continues to stare and even starts drooling* “…”

“Oh God, he’s completely zoned out…Karada! Don’t drool all over your shirt, that shit was expensive!”

Queen Card’s Thoughts on Aoyama Division

Tomi Chōten

“Tomi Chōten… age: mid-twenties, occupation: unemployed. Current family consists of: a father, a mother, and a younger brother. Subject is prone to splurging his parent’s wealth and wasting his life away with social gatherings.”

She threw the photograph over her shoulder. “There is nothing remotely entertaining about him, nay… his entire lineage’s tale. Discovering a gemstone never seen before, serving as a lowly spokesperson for Chuohku, and a lowly jester that is delusional enough to believe he has garnered my attention. A mere rare gemstone is not enough. It is just not enough.”

“I’ve nothing harmful to say about this subject. Nonetheless, he is just far too boring. Oftentimes, I do find it better to opt out of this man’s invitations to galas and other social gatherings. Such events are really full of individuals that may soon affect me with their stupidity.”

Karada Kessaku

“Ah, yes. Quite infectious, he is. He has an innate gift. An innate gift for lowering the IQ of those around him.”

“Now let us see here… Karada Kessaku, age: mid-twenties, occupation: body builder. No known family members. Subject is prone to…”

She held the photograph closer to her and scanned through it carefully while muttering incoherently to herself. She flung the photograph away from her, lodging it right into the wall across from her. “Dull. So incredibly dull, each and every thing.”

Luis Kōkyū

“Luis Kōkyū, age: late twenties, ethnicity: Japanese and Latino… no, with those features, there’s no doubt about it. Japanese and Mexican. Occupation: chef-owner of a high-end restaurant. More specifically, chef-owner of the restaurant Suriru Manten no Hāto. I would know because my staff were more than pleased to dine at his establishment after a successful show at the Aoyama Cross Theatre. The next time I see his face in person, I shall thank him for giving my employees such a wonderful experience.”

“Alas, I see nothing but a man with a tragically boring tale behind his name. I’ve no interest in conducting any sort of background research on this man, let alone the rest of his team.”

Jet Set Trio

“Quite a shame, really. To think the prosperous district within my precious Minato is being represented by a batch of one-dimensional characters in this tale we call ‘life’. It is aggravating… it is enraging that such monotonous and incapable people can be the face of Aoyama.”

“Irritating as it is, I have never been incorrect in my predictions. These three in particular emerged, just as I had planned. This truly is beginning to get redundant.”
