Scandal of the Spotlight: Kyohei Rikudoh (Discontinued)

(Season 2) Last Chapter 10

Kagari: "We came here on a date before..."

Kyohei and I had slipped away from the festival. We arrive at the viewpoint as we went to on a date once before.

Kyohei: "That night seems like such a long time ago now."

Kagari: "So much has happened since then."

Kyohei: "Like our first, fateful concert. Appearing on TV and all that media exposure."

Kyohei: "They liked it so much when we performed like a boy band on TV as we got into the festival."

Kagari: "You performed alongside Ritsuto, too."

Kyohei: "More like as he took over our performance."

Kagari: "But today's show was the best. Revance shone the brightest out of everyone, Kyohei."

Kyohei: "My lady has good taste."

Kyohei smiles with a shrug. My eyes are glued to him as a pleasant breeze makes him squint complacently.

(Kyohei seems so relaxed and at place today.)

Kyohei: "Do you remember when you first got here? You were down in the dumps."

Kagari: "Yeah..."

*Flashback*

Kagari: "I am struggling because I haven't been able to earn Fumito's approval."

Kyohei: "Even the longest journeys start with a single step. Everyone has to start at the bottom."

*End of flashback*

Kagari: "I remember, I was wishing I could be an ever confident person like you, Kyohei."

Kyohei: "Yeah, about that..."

After a pause, he seems to make up his mind about something and he turns to me.

Kyohei: "Actually, I wasn't sure about things either."

Kyohei: "Whether I had made the right choice in bringing the band L.A."

Kyohei: "I even got Sasayama and people at Rikudoh Productions wrapped up in it."

Kyohei: "I wasn't sure what music to perform here... and I was uneasy about Ritsuto."

Kagari: "!"

Kyohei: "I acted all high and mighty, comforting you while ignoring my own worries."

Kagari: "Kyohei..."

(Kyohei is overlooking his pride to tell me about his true feelings.)

(The old Kyohei never would have removed of that mask of unwavering confidence.)

Kyohei: "Ritsuto's criticisms felt especially sharp."

Kyohei: "After watching him perform, I became even more unsure of what direction to take."

Kagari: "So, in your first concert and when you performed with Ritsuto..."

Kyohei: "Yeah, you pointed it out of yourself. We weren't acting like the normal Revance."

(So that was the reason behind it.)

Kyohei: "I was just uneasy, but then Ritsuto made a play for you, Kagari."

Kyohei: "That's why I completely lost my cool that day."

Kagari: "That day...?"

Kyohei: "When Ritsuto brought you over and said he was going to get the biggest festival crowd."
