Names
S: Sugasano Allen
H: Yeon Hajun
F: Anne Faulkner
S: Just this much, huh. Not enough at all.
H: Please don't ask for the impossible. This live house can't take in any more people.
F: Don't ask for too much. We should be grateful.
S: 'Grateful'? It's meaningless unless we get so much people we have to restrict entrance.
F: Well, that's true... Honestly, this much isn't enough at all.
H: Do you have any plans to gather more people?
S: No. Make good music... that's all.
F: You're just as usual, huh.
S: I will prove us with my music.
Mob 1: Hajun-kun! Can I take a picture with you? Ah, I-I have all of the magazines you're in, umm...
H: I see! I'm so happy.
Well then... Shall I have you let me appear in your dreams tonight?
Please have fun today! Let's meet again[1].
F: As expected from the Smiling Noble.
H: This is also one of the secret of success in life.
F: That so. Oh, sorry, I'm gonna go to the toilet so you guys just go to the VIP room first.
S: 'Kay.
Y: Hmf. I'm going too.

Mob 2: (Man, that big sis[2] over there looks real good!)
Hey, hey, big sis! That's the toilet for guys, what's up with you?
Ah, don't tell me you're so lonely you coudn't hold yourself?
F: (Haha. So there's still an idiot who doesn't know me. I guess I'll play with him a little.)
If that's true, what are you gonna do about it? Big bro.[3]
Mob 2: W-well then, with me...
H: That's enough.
Mob 2: Huh? The fuck's up with you?
I'm in the good partー
F: Wait, Hajun!
H: Anne, don't play with this here, let's go.
Mob 2: What the fuck did you say, bastard!?
Watch your mouthー
H: Do you have a problem?
Mob 2: U-ugh...
H: This person cannot be handled by lowly mediocres like you.
F: Isn't it enough already? I'm just teasing him a bit.
I lost interest. Let's go.
H: Ah, I'm sorry. Are you alright?
F: Aah, seriously. How could you have that kind of smile right after the exchange earlier?
***
S: You guys are late. Where did you go?
H: Yes. Anne got hit on by drunkards, again.
S: Geez. Quietly go back in times like those, at least. 'Cause you're already easily misunderstood as it is.
F: Haa? And what's wrong with that?
I've always told you that I just want to live as I want.
S: ...Sorry.
F: To begin with, Allen, you're only all about musicー
H: Okay, okay, the fight ends here.
F: Hey. Something fell.
H: Oh, I'm sorry.
S: What's that? Some kind of a letter?
H: I wonder what it is. It seems to be addressed to us.
When did this thing...?
F: And? The inside is? Fan letter? Threat letter[4]?
S: Oi, Hajun, show that to me!
F: What's wrong? You're turning pale. Is a dangerous picture of you and your ex-girlfriend's in there?
S: ...Paradox...
F: Allen... What did you just...?
H: Club Paradox?
F: Paradox is... that Paradox?
S: Yeah! Every phantom rapper knows it!
It was the place where Phantom Live were carried out for the first time in the world, ten years ago!
You can't talk about the hip hop scene without talking about Paradox!
Even now it's still talked aboutー
H: It was the home of the legendary MC team Buraikan[5], isn't it?
I heard that for a million times already.
F: Hajun, just let him say this: 'One day, I'll definitely surpass Bureikan!', too.
S: In a less than a year, they managed to monopolize each country's hit chart... their sales reached more than two billion CDs! They're both the origin and the top of Phantom Lives! And, they're also the existence we have to surpass no matter what.
F: And, what does that Paradox want to do with us?
H: Whether or not it's real is still suspicious, too.
F: Isn't it interesting? Let's look what's inside.
H: Invitation... so it's an invitation.
F: It seems that there's another paper inside. Let's read it.
S: I see. In short, the new people in charge now are going to hold an event to decide who's the strongest, huh.
H: He-eh, isn't that interesting?
S: Yeah. Only if they really do it, though.
H: That's true.
S: Paradox is a live house that disappeared ten years ago along with Bureikan's retirement.
F: I can understand teams disappearing, but why did Paradox disappear?
S: That's... I don't know either. In a night, it just disappeared without a trace.
H: It sounds even fishier now. That invitation is probably either a tease or a prank, isn't it.
S: I don't know what their aim is, but they have guts to use the name Paradox.
F: Huh? What's this? What's going on?
H: Anne? What's wrong?
F: Look at this.
H: Hm? Huh? This is...
