Reflection of Your Image - EB VS SZ Drama Track

Part 1

~ Burrowing into the Heart ~

【 Kensaku’s Car, to Chuohku 】

Yano: Did we really have to take your car, old man?

Pouting in the backseat, the glass artist stared out the window of Kensaku’s Honda N-Box watching the scenery pass by. Kensaku, seated in the driver’s seat glanced back at the younger man with a sheepish smile.

Kensaku: Well, I thought we could take the time to chat a bit, you know? Get prepared… Mentally.

Yano: For 6 hours? Seriously? We didn’t need to wake up this early if we just took the bullet train over to Tokyo station!

Kensaku: Well it’s more convenient to chat and have a bit of time to ourselves! I mean, there could have been a chance we got harassed on the train.

Asato: I guess that’s a good point… Getting bothered sounds… Annoying, I think.

Munching peacefully away in the passenger seat, Asato looked back, face stuffed with some of potato chips they had grabbed in a previous city.

Asato: Plus, you can’t handle negative comments, Yano.

Yano: Hey! You can’t be mean to me about that senpai!

Kensaku: It’s not that bad waking up a little early. Plus it’s not like you can’t nap in here on the way there.

Asato: Nap? But we didn’t even wake up that early…

Yano: Asato senpai, you wake up at 4 A.M. You don’t get an opinion on that stuff!

Kensaku: Now, now, relax a bit! I mean, this is our last stretch before we go up onto a real stage, right?

Yano pauses, snarkily replying back to Kensaku’s remark.

Yano: If you mean a real competition and not just some small territorial battles against a bunch of wannabe rappers, I guess you got that right.

Asato: Wannabe rappers? I thought everyone we faced so far was kind of tough…

Yano: Pfft yeah right! Wait till we get over to the city!

Leaning forward, Yano wrapped his arms around the two members, with a sneaky look in his eyes.

Yano: It’s in Tokyo where we have to face off against guys like the Buster Bros or the Onigawara Bombers. The representative teams in those cities are no joke.

A moment of silence fell upon the front seat passengers, their expressions clouded with worry. To that, Yano could only sigh at them and lean back into his seat again, resting his head upon his arms.

Yano: Hey, don’t worry though. We already know that we’re in a minor league compared to those guys. Win or lose, this whole thing should be a good experience for you two.

Kensaku: Experience, hm?

Kensaku hums finally.

Kensaku: You sound pretty confident you know that?

Yano: Yeah? What’s wrong with that?

Kensaku: Nothing at all! I just never expected it from you, Yano-kun.

Glancing back and smiling at Yano through the rearview mirror, the older man quickly focuses back on the road again.

Kensaku: Based on how you interact with the other teams, I would have expected you to hesitate about our first D.R.B. But you’ve been supporting us amateurs the entire way through our preliminary battles.

Both younger men stared over at Kensaku, said man staying sharply focused on the road as to avoid eye contact. Out of shame? Embarrassment? It was hard for the scientist to place at the moment, but he felt like blurting out these words would help ease the pit that weighed in his gut.

Kensaku: Guess Asato-kun and I should be giving you our thanks for helping us get this far! Right, Asato-kun?

Right on cue, Asato nods vigorously with a blank expression. But the ever more flustered Yano in the back seat could see from his place more behind Asato’s eyes… Courage was built up from Kensaku’s words and the trust the farmer placed in Yano for being such a good support to the team. Feeling his eyes water up, Yano turned to hide his face from his teammates, pressing his cheek to the window to contrast the heat blooming on his face.

Yano: S-Shut up old man. Let’s just change the subject already.

Stifling back his laughter, Kensaku chose to not tease the young man about it anymore. The mushy speech was definitely more to assure himself, he was glad that it touched his teams’ hearts either way.

Kensaku: If you say so… Then we should play shiritori again. Get warmed up for whatever’s at Chuohku!

Although the taste of uttering that name of the city felt awful on Ken’s tongue, the groan that erupted from the backseat was worth it. Doubly so when he noticed Asato nod eagerly again.

Asato: Yeah, let’s play.

Yano: Senpai, oh my god you can’t be serious.

Asato: Why would I joke about it?

The sound of laughter filled the car. Now, with Kensaku chortling and Yano continuing to banter back, the team’s leader silently chewed on his food ignoring the verbal tornado ripping through the car. Staring at the Chuohku logo on the permit into the city that Asato was given, so many questions filled his head again. Why was he chosen? For what purpose? Who would notice a nobody family farmer anyways? The uncomfortable feeling filled the normally empty man as his brain kept questioning, what sort of things should he expect at his first D.R.B.?

【 Alert Private Investigative Agency 】

Climbing up the stairs, Ryuko with a backpack in hand made his way up to the smaller man’s office building grumbling under his breath. The trio had agreed that before taking the trains into Chuohku territory, they would meet up at Shuu’s detective agency to make sure everyone was prepared for the trip. It was a drag for the ex-gangster, but Maki was the one who insisted they all be doubly sure that they were ready to get into the city.

Without knocking, Ryuko swung the door open letting himself into the office.

Ryuko: Sup? You two ready to go?

Maki: Hmm… I’m afraid we aren’t quite ready.

Dropping his bag together with Maki’s belonging by the door, the animator sauntered into the office. Plopping himself down on the couch, his eyes scanned the table with tea and snacks, before looking up at his brother who was calmly drinking said tea on the couch across from him.

Ryuko: This your idea of checking in on the team? Drinking tea?

Maki: I’m afraid not. The detective was the one who offered all… This.

Ryuko: Tch. Figures. Where the hell is he anyways?

Right on cue, a loud bang followed by a shattering noise sounded from above the men. Ryuko, ever so jumpy, flinched at the sound whilst Maki simply looked up from his cup and then sighed.

Maki: Still packing actually. See, I wasn’t so much worried for you as I was worried about the detective.

Ryuko: What the fuck… Hey Shuu! You alright?!

A muffled yell responded before the door that went further up the building swung open. Dragging a comically large suitcase with cutesy stickers plastered all over, Shuu finally made it to the brothers.

Shuu: I knocked into a table and broke a vase… Gimme a second to clean up!

Ryuko: You little… I’ll do it!

Launching up from his seat Ryuko marched past Shuu to the stairs, stopping to look back and demand.

Ryuko: Where’s your cleaning stuff?

Shuu: Up the stairs in the closet on the right!

Grumbling away, Shuu slowly dragged his bag over to the rest of the luggage. Upon seeing Ryuko’s backpack and the duffle bag that Maki had brought, Shuu suddenly felt sheepish.

Shuu: Uhhh sensei? Am I overpacking?

Maki: Nonsense. Everyone has their own way of traveling. I’m sure you have everything in order, correct?

Shuu: Ah! R-Right let me think…

Shuu hummed in thought, counting on his fingers everything he needed to bring, making mental notes on everything he had packed. Maki, on the other hand, finished his tea and stood up, walking towards the door to stand next to Shuu.

Maki: Remember, the most important thing we need to bring is our ID and tickets. It’s the only way we are going to manage to get into the district.

Shuu: Ah! Right, did I…?

Opening his bag slightly, Shuu struggled to pull his wallet out the tightly packed case. Once he did get it, he held it up to Maki with a smile.

Shuu: Got it! Right in here!

Maki: Good, good. Glad you are prepared.

The blonde man giggled in response, tucking his valuables into his coat pocket. Grabbing his hat from the coat hanger by the door, Shuu adjusted it onto his head.

Shuu: Ryu-chan! We’re ready! Did you finish?

In response, the ex-gangster came stomping back down to the office, acknowledging the two impatient men by the door.

Ryuko: Yeah, yeah! I got the glass and water cleaned up, now let’s get going!

Maki: Not so fast.

Ryuko: Huh?! What the fuck do you want now?

Maki: ID.

At that command, Ryuko started to fumble around before he pulled out his ID card from his flimsy tattered excuse for a wallet. Shuu could only smile at the siblings' interaction, inwardly finding it adorable how they worked together.

Ryuko: There.

Maki: Ticket.

Ryuko: You fucking…

Again, Ryuko fumbled about to pull out the ticket from his work ID tag’s clear case. Apparently it was folded and tucked into the back. An unusual method of keeping important documents, but whatever Ryuko needs to do to make sure they got it.

Maki: Very well. Then we should be rea-

Shuu: Hey... What about you sensei?

Maki: Excuse me?

Shuu: Show us your ticket and ID! I mean, you did interrogate us for ours, let’s see that you’re just as responsible!

While the professor seemed taken aback by Shuu’s demands the man paused, before seeming to begrudgingly comply with the petite man just as the younger Umemoto did just moments earlier. Pulling out his wallet from his coat pocket, he showed the other two exactly what they wanted.

Shuu: Mhm… Yup! Looks like we’re all ready!

Ryuko: Ready as I’ll ever be. I can’t wait to get into a proper arena!

Maki: You two sure are fired up…

Ryuko: Why wouldn’t we be? This is a chance to really shine! Make anyone trying to get into our territory fear us even more!

Shuu: Yeah!

Maki: I’m not really worried about that. I’m concerned about him…

Emphasizing the last word, Maki’s eyes narrowed at his younger brother.

Maki: I need you to control yourself. If we start a fight before we can even compete, our efforts will all be for nothing.

The two team members looked at their leader expectantly, hoping that the short-tempered man would agree. Of course, Ryuko brushed their worries aside, walking out the door of Alert Detective Agency with a huff.

Ryuko: No promises. Now let’s get going idiots! We’re gonna miss the train!

Helplessly, the two watched on as their team leader marched down the stairs into the street. Looking at each other, they nodded in silent agreement...

They had a handful of problems waiting for them at Chuohku.
