[スタオケ] La Corda d'Oro Starlight Orchestra Mikado Ukiha Cast Story Chapter 7 Translation

*Starlight Orchestra Masterlist | Mikado Ukiha’s Personal Masterlist *Spoiler free: Translations will remain under cut *Mikado's Route Tag will be #Ukiha’s Star

Postman: Are you the new housekeeper? Here's the mail.

I was entrusted with the mail.

It was addressed to “Mikado Ukiha”, and the sender went by the name of “Takasaki”. 

Ukiha: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ukiha: Oh, is that a letter? How rude of them to have treated a guest as a servant…

Ukiha: …!

▷Choice: Is there something wrong with the letter?

Ukiha: No, it is nothing… Ukiha: Come on, let us head inside. We will only catch a cold by standing around and talking outside.

Ukiha: Here, please have some tea. Are you not tired of having to practice daily by holding streetside performances for days on end?

Ukiha: Hehe, you're alright because eating sweet stuff has helped rejuvenate you?

Ukiha: Good thing I prepared manjus then. Please, feel free to take another.

▷Choice: Are you not tired?

Ukiha: Thank you for your concern, but I am fine.

▷Choice: You need the sugar more than I do

Ukiha: Oh, do I look that tired to you?

Ukiha: It is much more satisfying to watch you eat them, so please feel free to indulge yourself.

Ukiha: It will be the opening performance soon…

Ukiha: There is not much time left. After all, time flies when you're having fun.

Ukiha: Especially so during practice sessions and live performances. Let us cherish each and every moment now, and welcome the upcoming performance with positivity.

Ukiha: “It will definitely be a success”, you say?

Ukiha: Haha, you are always so positive. Seeing you that upbeat cheers me up too.

▷Choice: You'll soon be one of us in due time, Mikado…

Ukiha: Perhaps the day will come when I can finally step foot into the esteemed Magnolia Hall that I have heard so much about.

Ukiha: I have heard rumors of there being graffiti left by seniors of the past as well.

Ukiha: I am sure it is a wonderful building where you can feel the tangible history of the Starlight Orchestra.

Ukiha: I can write something too if I want?

Ukiha: Hehe, whatever shall I do? I am honored, but what should I write…

▷Choice: How about Japanese poetry?

Ukiha: Haha, that sounds good. How about a love poem then?

▷Choice: Maybe something like “Mikado Ukiha is here!”

Ukiha: You often see graffiti like that in tourist spots. Ukiha: I have always frowned at it, but who knew that it would finally be my turn to do something like that one day. Ukiha: But simply writing my name is pretty lackluster. Hmm… Perhaps I should write a love poem.

Ukiha: There are many such poems in the Manyoshu and the Hyakunin Isshu.

Ukiha: It is pretty nice to be able to carve words of my own amidst the passionate words that my predecessors have left behind.

▷Choice: How romantic

Ukiha: I am glad that you approve. Ukiha: However, rather than borrowing the words of my predecessors, I will have to compose my own poem to meet those expectations.

▷Choice: To whom are those feelings directed to?

Ukiha: Curious, are you? Ukiha: For now… I suppose we can say that it is my love for music.

Ukiha: Though, is it really alright to carve such frivolous sentiments onto such a sacred music institution? I feel like I am letting my seniors down in doing so…

Ukiha: …Hehe. But still, it is fun just thinking about the many possibilities.

Ukiha: What would you write, if you were in my shoes? Do share. 

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Ukiha: We have been talking at such length that it looks like time has escaped us. Allow me to call a taxi to take you back to the hotel.

As I walked down the corridor facing the garden, I heard the faint sound of a piano being played.

Ukiha: Is something the matter, (L/n)-san? The exit is this way.

Ukiha: …Huh? The sound of a piano?

Ukiha: Oh, we had the piano tuner come by today to tune the secluded piano.

Ukiha: That being said, however… We can tune it all we want, but I doubt anyone would play in either way.

Ukiha: In the past, I used to often bother my father to play the piano in that room.

Ukiha: It was foolish, really. To play that song, of all things… Anyway, come, let us move on.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Ukiha: …

Ukiha: (The Starlight Orchestra is a beautiful dream filled with hope and joy.)

Ukiha: (However, I cannot throw myself into something as uncertain as a dream…)

Ukiha: (I may not be able to join you, but I will still pray for you. I pray that you will attain that bright and dazzling dream of yours…)

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

A few days later, the concert being held at the Kyoto Art Concert Hall ended with a great success.

And at the end of that performance—

Mikado withdrew from the Starlight Orchestra…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬Ukiha’s Star♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Questa nuova serie (c’è n’è anche un’altra in cantiere per il franchise) avrà come protagoniste le nove ragazze introdotte nel 2017 all’interno del videogioco mobile Love Live!
