Extra Story Ch1 - Episode 5
"Lyricist and Composer"
*translated using deepl and various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made
Felix: ...I see. So that's what happened
Wataru: Fantome's songs are composed by your guitarist, Suzaki-san right?
Wataru: That...has Suzaki-san ever gotten into a slump?
Daimon: ...what we have to say might not be very helpful
Daimon: Jun is always shaken and feeling cornered because of Felix's unreasonable demands
Daimon: All I can do is listen to him and make him coffee
Felix: I don't mean to make any unreasonable demands. I know Jun can do it after all
Felix: Because I trust Jun
Daimon: Jun understands that you're relying on him, so even though he may complain he'll still make the songs
Felix: That being said, the relationship between lyricist and composer varies
Felix: What kind of relationship do you and Rio have?
Wataru: (Because we can trust each other, huh...)
[flashback start]
Rio: Those aren't the kind of lyrics Matoba writes
[flashback ends]
Wataru: .........That's it
Wataru: (Those words must've been proof of Kikyo's trust in me...)
Wataru: (If that's the case, what I can do now is-)
Wataru: Thank you very much, Felix-san, Kusunoki-san!
Wataru: Let's go, Banri-kun!
Banri: Huh? W-Wait, Wataru-kun...!
[...and Wataru's already gone]
Banri: And he's gone! Ah, um, thank you for the coffee!
Felix: You're welcome
Daimon: Have a safe trip back
Daimon: ...it looks like we ended up helping the enemy*
Felix: Even if they hadn't come here, the result would've been the same
Felix: Fufu, I'm looking forward to the actual Fes
[later, back at Argonavis' Sharehouse]
[a door opens, and there are footsteps]
Rio: ......Matoba?
Wataru: Welcome back
Rio: Yeah. ...You're still awake
Wataru: I had something to say to you, so I waited for you to come back
Rio: What is it?
Wataru: ...it's about Argonavis, before you joined-
Wataru: You made a song just by looking at the lyrics I wrote. At that time when I heard the song, I was really surprised
Wataru: The lyrics, which had until then been nothing more than words written in a notebook, took on color and I felt as if my world had expanded
Wataru: By putting it together with the melody you made, a whole world was created. ...Those were my feelings
Rio: ......
Wataru: Don't look down on me. I'm not writing songs with you because you're a genius
Wataru: I'm writing songs with you because you're Argonavis' "Kikyo Rio"
Rio: ......I see
Wataru: ...I heard that you got angry when my notebook was burned
Rio: Of course I did.
Rio: I knew that anger was a double-edged sword, but I couldn't control it well
Wataru: ...in other words, that means you're getting more passionate, right?
Rio: ...yes, that's right
Wataru: I have one more thing I need to say to you
Rio: Hmm?
Wataru: You said that it wouldn't be a perfect song, suitable for the current Argonavis. That's not what I, or anyone else is looking for
Wataru: I don't need a "perfect" song
Wataru: Your songs with my lyrics, performed by everyone, and sung by Ren...
Wataru: That's Argonavis' music.
Wataru: If you're going to say that you're being selfish and annoying, don't do things half-heartedly, go all the way
Rio: ......!
Rio: ......
Rio: That day...I talked to Nanahoshi and read the lyrics of "Goal Line" from the notebook he gave me
Rio: I wanted to put a song to these lyrics. I wanted to do it with this band
Rio: ...I'm here now because I read your lyrics in that notebook
Wataru: ...I see
Rio: Looking for the "perfection" that I thought of was the same thing as setting my own limits
Rio: I may cause you trouble, but I'll give it my all
Rio: In order to grab what lies beyond my limits-
*(taken literally, he says "sent salt to our enemies" which refers to when Uesugi Kenshin sent salt to his enemy, Takeda Shingen when his salt supply had been cut off- saving an enemy from trouble instead of taking advantage of their weakness. So essentially the phrase means "to help one's enemy in difficulty" or "to show humanity even to one's enemy")
