Ryan: Hey, eyes over here! This is the great Golden Ryan, the one who got Tiger & Barnaby back together! The heroes were put through a great ruckus after I returned to my good ol’ town Sternbild, even going as far as buying me a present~ Those guys really missed me, huh? More than that, let’s return to the main topic! The main topic is… What was it? Eh, oh well. Tiger & Bunny, Sternbild appreciation. Ciao~
-
Ryan: Shh! Be quiet! In three… Two… One…
Ryan Alarm Clock: It’s seven. Kiss my boots. It’s seven. Kiss my boots. It’s seven. Kiss my-
Ryan: What do you think of my little gift? A Golden Ryan special alarm clock.
Keith: It’s great! And once again, it’s great!
Antonio: I like how it has the same silhouette as Ryan!
Ryan: Right~ I brought enough for everyone so don’t forget to take one home.
Keith: Thank you! And thank you!
Antonio: Can’t believe you get merch like this if you’re popular over there! The button is Ryan’s head right? (presses down Ryan’s head on the alarm)
Ryan Alarm Clock: It’s seven. Kiss my boots.
Antonio and Keith: Uwoooow this is so cool!
Keith: It’s incredible!
Antonio: The way he says, “dodoon!”
Ryan: “Dodoon!” right?
Antonio: Yeah! “Dodoon!!”
Ryan: “Dodoon!!!”

Kotetsu: Hey Bunny. Does that alarm clock bug you at all?
Barnaby: Yes. I feel like my mental health is getting chipped away every morning…
Ivan: Me too.
Barnaby: You as well Origami-senpai?
Kotetsu: It’s tough being told to kiss someone’s boots at seven in the morning.
Ivan: Ah, actually, what bugs me is that his head is the button…
Kotetsu: Huh?
Ivan: I can’t hit Ryan-san’s head like that! For me to hit our colleagues' heads… Tiger-san, what should I do?
Kotetsu: (awkward) Eh, um, who knows? Haha.
Nathan: Boys! What are you getting heated up about!? We can hear everything from the girl’s room. The party is about to start so hurry up and change into your tuxedos!
Ryan: Ou. I have enough for the girl’s team too so don’t forget to bring some over to them.
Nathan: Oh thank you for that~ I also need to hurry up and change but—haunnng!! Is this heaven? So many men who are shirtless… I don’t want to go!!
Kotetsu: Hurry up and go change!!
Nathan: (getting pushed out) Aww.
(door closes)
Antonio: Hey Kotetsu. Can you take a picture of Ryan and I before we change?
Kotetsu: Can’t you take pictures after?
Antonio: Ah, well I want a picture that feels special. It’ll be the grand reveal of the private side of the Gravity Prince who traveled across the ocean for work and I’ll title it, “Welcome back Ryan!” Traffic is going to go up by ten folds!
Kotetsu: Traffic?
Antonio: On my blog.
Kotetsu: You started a blog!?
Antonio: Yeah, cause Origami’s is quite popular. Thought I’d give it a shot and see if I’ll be just as lucky in gaining new fans.
Ryan: What a touching effort. Well then, guess I’ll offer a hand.
Antonio: Ushiya! Alright, let me get my helmet on and- (clacking and something opening up) Oi Kotetsu! I’ll figure out the angle so just stand there.
Kotetsu: Why do I gotta—-tch—fine… (walks over)
Barnaby: Ryan. Please come over here.
Ryan: Huh? What’s up Junior?
Barnaby: (whispers) I advise you to rethink taking a picture with Rock Bison.
Ryan: Huh? Why?
Keith: Even I don’t recommend it…
Ryan: Sky High too?
Ivan: Me as well…
Ryan: And Origami?
Ivan: The thing is, there’s a problem with Bison’s blog…
-
Karina: A blog that’s cursed?
Nathan: That’s right! Misfortunes take place as soon as a duo photo is uploaded.
Pao Lin: Sky High and Origami and even me! As soon as our photos went up on that blog-
Nathan: They all got injured.
Pao Lin: Yeah.
Karina: Eh!? Does that mean Rock Bison has a new NEXT power?
Nathan: No no~ It’s just bad luck. It’s all over the internet. Hey, can you help me with the zipper on my back?
Karina: Oh yeah, sure. A blog that is cursed…
Pao Lin: Has Bison-san not asked to take a picture with you yet?
Karina: Now that you mention it… He did ask me in the past but my manager rejected him.
Nathan: Aren’t you lucky that you’re an idol~
(sound of the zipper going up)
Nathan: Thank you. Hey, aren’t you showing a bit too much chest?
Karina: Why are you looking there!?
(in the background:
Antonio: Why are you suddenly saying no to a picture!?
Ryan: Ehehe well um, next time alright?)
Nathan: Ugh they’re going at it again!
(Antonio: Come on!!)
Nathan: Even though I told them to hurry up and change!
Pao Lin: But it seems like Ryan-san rejected him.
Nathan: I’m sure Handsome filled him in with the details.
(Ryan: Aaaaah I’m busy, I’m so busy!)
Karina: I’m sure Tiger will calm down the situation just fine!
(Ryan: I’m still so busy!)
Nathan: Seems like you have a lot of trust towards a certain someone~
(Ivan join in to calm down Ryan and Antonio)
Karina: That’s-!! Uh!! Oh Dragon Kid! You’re planning on attending the party in a pants suit?
Pao Lin: Yeah. Is that not allowed?
Karina: No, it’s allowed but wouldn’t a dress be cuter?
Pao Lin: But these are easier to move around in so-
Karina: But this is a party! Do you need to be able to move that much?
Nathan: I’ll end up attracting the attention of every attendee at this party if that’s the case~ Ufu, are you fine with that?
Pao Lin: Yeah I don’t mind.
Nathan: (snorts)
Karina: But if you wear such a form fitting suit, it might be a bit tight after you eat.
Pao Lin: Oh… I guess that’s true! Let me go change then!
(noise of a power being activated.
Kotetsu: Dah! I told you to calm down Bison!! Why are you using your powers!?)
Nathan: Just how long are they going to continue on with this! The party is going to start.
(Ivan: Why don’t I transform into Ryan-san so we can take a picture together?
Antonio: Then that’ll be a scam! You’re not getting away, Ryan!!
Keith: I guess there’s no other choice… Skkkyyy hi hi hiiiigh! (wind whirling)
Ryan: Dodoon!!)
(Silence)
Karina: Ah. They went quiet.
Nathan: Let’s go to the party then!
-
SH: Hello attendees who participate in the day to day activities involving hero work! I, Sky High, would like to make a toast for us all today. Let’s have a toast to partying!
Kotetsu: No matter where I look, this sure is one extravagant party.
Antonio: God dammit, where the hell is Ryan.
Kotetsu: You still haven’t given up on getting a picture with him?
Antonio: Of course! It’s my prime opportunity to get more traffic.
Kotetsu: Does it have to be only you two? Can’t you take one with all of us?
Antonio: Then that doesn’t feel personal! I need it to feel like it’s something special, something you can only find on my blog.
Kotetsu: Got it. Then take a picture with this special Ryan alarm clock.
(places alarm on the table)
Antonio: “Oh? That’s a good idea.” Do you really think I’d say that!! Think about this situation from my shoes and try to understand.
Kotetsu: I do understand how you feel, but for now, have a drink and call down… Though there isn’t alcohol here because it’s a party for the citizens but.
Antonio: You’re useless, you raccoon.
Kotetsu: Raccoon?
Antonio: If I can’t get Ryan, then I’ll get a photo with them!
(runs off)
Kotetsu: Raccoon… I feel like someone else called me a raccoon before… Hey wait, hold up Rock Bison!!
(runs off)
-
(footsteps approaching)
Antonio: Blue Rose… Why did she go? Oh? Excuse me. You’re Director Petrov, correct? Have you seen Blue Rose?
(silence)
Antonio: Uh, directo-
Yuri: I have not.
(silence)
Antonio: Ah, thanks… The hell was that? Anyway, next stop is Barnaby!
(runs off) (heeled shoe noises)
Karina: I was right to hide… I was inches away from getting dragged into a mess. Wow, wait! Dragon Kid! That’s a lot of food!!
Pao Lin: (mouth full of food) Mhhnnmmm! Mmmhmmmnmhmm!!
Karina: Aah talk after you finish what’s in your mouth first!
Pao Lin: (gulps) I love buffets!! I can have all the ramen and gyoza and dumplings without having to stop!!
Karina: Haha, good thing you changed into a dress, right?
Pao Lin: Yeah!
Ivan: Dragon Kid-san, Blue Rose-san.
Karina and Pao Lin: Huh?
Ivan: Come, come over here.
Pao Lin: Why is Origami-senpai hiding in the background?
Ivan: Oh, uh, it looks like I’ve grown a habit of hiding without realizing…
Karina: Seems like your work style is bleeding into your personal life.
Pao Lin: So.. What’s up?
Ivan: I want to recommend something special to you guys!
Pao Lin: A recommendation!? What is it!?
Ivan: It’s udooun-de gozaru.
Pao Lin: Uduon?
Karina: Your lips are bugging me.
Ivan: It’s like ramen but it’s not actually ramen. A totally different species of noodle. And that is… (inhales gently. Whispers) Udon.
Pao Lin: Where is this udon!?
Ivan: This way-de gozaru!!
(runs off)
Karina: You should get some after you finish your plate!
Kotetsu: They really dug their teeth into that conversation. Hehe, on a conversation about food.
Karina: That wasn’t funny at all.
Kotetsu: Ay, is that so.
Karina: Tiger, you look and act like an old man so if you make these types of old man gags, Kaede won’t want to be near you.
Kotetsu: Kaede!? Hrngh, guess I gotta be more careful.
Karina: You really don’t understand your daughter.
Kotetsu: (sincere) Thanks for always giving me advice, Blue Rose. I’m grateful for all of them.
Karina: I’m just- this is all for Kaede-chan’s sake! It’s not like I’m doing this for you! It’s not for you… Huh? Tiger? Why did you suddenly disappear! Why…did you disappear…
-
Kotetsu: Yo Fire Emblem. Have you seen Rock Bison?
Nathan: I just saw him get rejected by Handsome about getting a picture together.
Kotetsu: He’s bugging Bunny now?
Nathan: More than that, aren’t you worried about them?
Kotetsu: Heh?
Nathan: Ryan and Handsome have only been talking to each other this entire time. By chance—what if they are planning to reinstate their partnership?
Kotetsu: Why mention something so stupid.
Nathan: It’s not stupid. Even I was given an offer like that before. It was on a hot hot summer day~
Kotetsu: Um, do I have to listen to this story?
-
Barnaby: Things must be difficult over there if you’re working by yourself.
Ryan: I’ve always done this job by myself so it’s nothing. Barely even break a sweat.
Barnaby: You never change.
Ryan: Hehee.
Keith: Ryan-kun, Barnaby-kun!! Can you please do something about Bison-kun!?
Barnaby and Ryan: Huh?
(footsteps approaching)
Keith: It’s him!
Antonio: Sky High, please, I’m begging you. Please take a picture with me! I’ve already got a title in mind, all I need is a picture!
Keith: I’m sorry and I apologize.
Antonio: Why then. What’s wrong with taking a picture with me?
(high heel footsteps approaching)
Nathan: Get a hold of yourself Rock Bison!
Antonio: What do you want.
Kotetsu: Hey, did you forget who this party is for?
Antonio: Well that’s…
Kotetsu: I understand that you’re desperate, but isn’t today about being grateful to the citizens who cheer us on?
Antonio: Argh… That’s true but…
Ryan: Fine. You still want to take a picture?
Antonio: You sure, Ryan?
Ryan: The reason I refused to take a picture is cause I heard of a rumor that your blog is cursed, so.
Antonio: Hmm? My blog is cursed? What are you talking about?
Ryan: Wait, you’re not aware of this?
Barnaby: There’s a rumor that if you appear on Rock Bison’s blog, then you face misfortune and…
Antonio: What the hell is that!? Is that why you all-
Keith: I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.
Antonio: Are you serious?
(footsteps approaching)
Pao Lin: Guys guys guys guys guys!! I brought some for everyone to try! Of udon!!
Ivan: It’s hiiiiiighly recommended-de gozaruyo-
Barnaby: Let’s save that for later, Origami-senpai.
Ivan: Eh?
Karina: Tiger! Udon’s actually pretty good!
Kotetsu: Dah! Stop talking about udon!
Karina: Huh?
(camera goes off)
Everyone: Huh??
Antonio: Nobody will be harmed if it’s a selfie right? I’ll just stick with uploading this.
Kotetsu: Wait up. Why not take a picture with all of us?
Barnaby: He’s right. It may be that some misfortunes overlapped with the upload date of certain pictures, causing the cursed blog rumors to spread. If it’s a photo with everyone then-
Antonio: It’s fine. I already uploaded it. Plus, Kotetsu’s right. Today’s party is to show gratitude to the citizens, so I need to enjoy today!
Pao Lin: Then do you want to try some udon?
Antonio: Sounds good! Let’s have a toast to partying!!
Keith: That’s my line!
(Everyone laughs)
Barnaby: It’s a shame that you’ve been dragged around restlessly despite just returning.
Ryan: Nah it’s all good. Isn’t this what’s special about Sternbild?
Kotetsu: Hmm, is it now… Well, this means that one problem is solved, right?
Karina: That may not be true.
Kotetsu: Eh?
Karina: Look! Someone else is in the picture that Rock Bison uploaded on his blog!
Nathan: Oh my. There is. Isn’t that…
Barnaby: It’s Director Petrov.
Kotetsu: The Director?
(Ryan’s alarm goes off. “It’s seven. Kiss my boots.” goes off continuously as glass shatters.)
Karina: Oh, he’s covered in wine now.
Barnaby: It seems like he was startled by the alarm.
Nathan: Isn’t that the Director?
Kotetsu: Wait wait, that’s my Ryan alarm clock that I left on the…
-
(presses the button. Yuri sighs)
Kotetsu: I’m so sorry, Director. I didn’t know the alarm was on so I- dah! The wine stain is! Uh, does this mean…
Yuri: I will request you to pay for the dry cleaning bill.
Kotetsu: (dejected) Yes…
-
(sound of running footsteps continue in the background)
Nathan: Since we’ve changed into our hero suits, now is the time for the real party with the citizens to begin. Let’s get to the stage!
Pao Lin: I wonder if they’ll like the new charm I made?*
Ivan: Of course! Even I want one.
Karina: If you’re worried about that, just remember that we all wanted to have a sitting cushion.*
Antonio: I'm pretty curious about the foldable umbrella.*
Keith: I can’t help but recommend the karuta that has my motto in it!!*
Ryan: No matter how much time passes, Sternbild heroes sure are close.
Barnaby: What are you mumbling about? You too are one of us heroes.
Kotetsu: That’s right! Now then, it’s time for us all to let out a wild roar!
Everyone: Alright!
