Northside Serpent - Fangs Forgarty

Fangs x Fem!reader (eventually)

Jughead x Toni x Reader (friends)

Warnings: bullying?

Word count: 1,154

Summary: Being a Northsider who is very quiet but when the bulldogs and Cheryl are being mean to the Southsiders she speaks up.

Authors Note: That summary is the idea I came up with but it turned into something with that as the underline plot but also something. So I can’t say it's really a good description and I can’t say it's a bad one.

“Hey, Juggie.” Y/n waved towards her beanie wearing friend as he showed up in the school parking lot with his friends.

“Y/n/n, long time no see.” Jughead smiled as he approached the Y/h/c-ed girl along with Toni, Fangs, and Sweet Pea.

“Jug I saw you two days ago.” she laughed, hugging him once he got close enough.

“We haven’t gone to school with each other in a while.” Jug nod's his head at her statement.

“True.” Y/n smiled

“Why are you outside?” Fangs asked the pretty girl who obviously knows Jughead.

“There’s a welcoming party for you all.” Y/n smirks shaking her head as she answered the handsome young serpent.

“Huh?” Jug looked at her confused and suspicious.

“Only a few put it together and yes, it’s who your thinking Jug. But be warned the Bulldogs and Cheryl are very against this.” she explained, shrugging in the process.

“Well before we go in mind introducing us to your friend here Jones? Toni?” Sweet Pea crossed his arms, not missing how Toni had also greeted the girl with a hug.

“Well, if either of you ever paid attention to anything other than pole at the Wrym you would’ve met her already.” Toni stated giving them an annoyed look that screamed ‘I told you so’.

“We’ve known each other since we were in diapers, she’s not just a friend she’s like my sister.” Jug explained to his followed Serpent boys. Jughead could tell Sweet Pea was still wary and Fangs seemed to not be able to take his eyes off her.

“She use to hang at the Wrym all the time.’ Toni added.

“Having known Jughead here all my life FP’s like a father to me.” Y/n smiled at the two boys standing in front of her.

“Like?” Jug scoffed tilting his head in her direction.

Y/n was family, there was no question. There was also no question that she was the honorary adopted daughter of FP.

“Oh haha. Fine, he is practically my dad. He helped my mom raise me and has been there for me my whole life.” Y/n answered.

“So are you a Serpent?” Sweet Pea asked with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Yes.” Y/n nodded as she answered his question holding her head high. She could understand his skepticism from his point of view.

“Y/n is the Serpent Princess.” Toni smirks nudging her friend, teasing her with her nickname.

“A title my dad gave her and I believe it’s fitting.” Jug stated.

“I’m gonna be the polite one between me and Pea and ask your name.” Fangs smiled

“It's Y/n. Y/n Y/l/n.” Y/n smiled reaching out to shake his hand. “An you?”

“Fangs Forgarty.” he smirked slightly but it ended up just turning back into a smile.

“Nice to meet you Fangs.” Y/n nodded

Once they let go of each other's hands Fangs elbowed Sweet Pea. “ow” Sweet Pea glared at Fangs.

Toni raised her eyebrows at the tall boy. “Introduce yourself instead of integrating the girl.”

“Sweet Pea, nice to meet you Serpent Princess.” he introduced himself after giving the pink haired girl an eye roll.

Y/n laughed at the exchange before shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you too.”

“Now that we're all acquainted, why don’t we all head into school now?” Jug asked, always the lover of education.

With that said they all grabbed their stuff and headed in. After the greeting by Archie, Veronica, Betty, and etc etc … Toni turned to Y/n with a look before asking. “This is Northside hospitality?”

“Welcome to the Northside.” Jughead snarked

“You know Y/l/n I thought once we were rid of Jones here, you would finally understand where you belong.” Cheryl spoke as she approached the group of young Serpents.

“Oh? And where would that be Cheryl?” y/n asked with her voice full of sarcasm as she crossed her arms turning to fully face the red headed Bombshell.

“By my side and the Bulldogs of course, silly. Not with these street rats.” Cheryl smiled her fake Blossom smile. Y/n would know the difference.

“Listen here Bombshell. These street rats as you call them are way better friends than your bulldogs would ever be. As for you Cheryl Blossom. You and I were good friends once upon a time until you decided to become a snot-nosed Bitch.” Y/n spoke pissed off stepping into Cheryl's personal space. Looking the HBIC right in the eyes. Y/n honestly missed having Cheryl as a friend. But then Cheryl she became someone who wasn’t the Cheryl Y/n grew up being friends with. If Cheryl ever came back then they could be friends again. “So leave us alone. I’m where I should be. Are you?”

With that said everyone started to head off to where they needed to be for the first period. After Toni and Y/n left off to their first classes the boys stood in the hallways for a minute. Sweet Pea and Fangs were ready to intervene when it came to Y/n and Cheryl’s talk. But Jughead and Toni had convinced them to back down. Y/n could fight her own fights, they know that for a fact. But they still stood ready as back up if the Bulldogs so much as moved a finger.

“I think I’m in love.” Fangs stated as they watched the girls disappear.

“She’s a Serpent so I’m cool with it.” Sweet Pea stated with a shrug at his friend's words. Truth be told he’s just glad it’s not a Northsider.

Jughead cast a glare at Fangs before saying. “She’s like a sister to me. If you hurt her Fangs I’ll bury you somewhere no one will ever find the body.”

Fangs gulped looking Jug in the eyes promising. “If I can get her to actually say yes then I promise I’ll never hurt her. At least I won’t try to.”

Sweet Pea suddenly got a thought in his head and he smirked. “Jones, you said she’s like a daughter to your dad right?”

“Yup.” Jughead nodded, casting a confused look to the tall dark haired boy. And then it hit him.

Sweet Pea clapped Fangs on the back as he let out an amused laugh. “Good luck Forgarty.”

Fangs turned his head to look at Jughead hoping he could explain since it seemed like he understood what Sweet Pea meant. “Huh?”

“Sweet Pea’s hinting to the fact that you’ll be dating the honorary daughter of Fp Jones, leader of the Serpents.” Jughead explained, and it was true if Fnags could get Y/n to say yes then he would be seeing the confusion leave Fang's face and was replaced by worry and a hint of fear. Jug patted him on the shoulder before continuing. “Don’t worry Fangs. She’s worth it.”

All Main Cast Portraits (completed) 💙💜🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

I had so much fun drawing all of these. But here are all of the Character Portraits together of the main characters for Character Profiles on the @tyler-and-tiffany website. As for right now, I’m only going to focus on the main characters and their families until whenever a new character or someone important gets involved for me to make these. In the meantime, more information about the characters like full names, personalities and more will be finished when I finish the link for their profiles online, as far as sheets. Here all the cast in order:

Tyler Holmes (“Thompson”, birth name)- The oldest twin 💙

Tiffany Fields (“Thompson”, birth name)- The youngest twin 💜

Stephen “Steve” Holmes Sr.- Tyler’s adoptive father 💚

Veronica Fields- Tiffany’s adoptive mother 🩵

Stephen “SJ” Holmes Jr.- Tyler’s adoptive younger brother and Stephen Sr.’s biological son 🧡

Emily Fields- Tiffany’s adoptive younger sister and Veronica’s biological daughter 🩵

You know that moment in FE: Awakening where Robin decides to light an entire naval fleet on fire by rigging their own ships? And it was kinda insane but it somehow managed to work? That is the manic energy in which I imagine Kiran approaches ALL their tactics with. Every battle you can pinpoint the exact moment where Kiran goes “you know what? fuck it” and unleashes some god of death onto the battlefield.

With that perspective, you gotta give credit to Veronica. She’s sees that bullshit and is like “yeah I could punt kick that twink.”

when you and your squad defeats Veronica

Dear Vocalist Unlimited Veronica Translation — Shadow births light [track one]

disclaimer: this is 90% AI-generated transcription and translation, some things might be inaccurate or awkward.

ディア ヴォーカリスト Unlimited エントリーNo.5 Veronica / モモチ (CV: 豊永利行)

- Drums: YAMATO (CV. Shunichi Toki)

- Guitar: OHGI (CV. Makoto Furukawa)

- Bass: AMA (CV. Kengo Kawanishi)

- Keyboard: SHIZURU (CV. Yoshitaka Yamaya)

Yamato: Wow, this is great. It's so exciting!

Shizuru: Haha, but it's so dark. Was it like this during rehearsals?

Ohgi: I asked them to turn it off. Don't worry about me, go ahead and turn on all the lights.

AMA: Oh, when you were talking to the staff with your sleeve earlier, did you mean...

Ohgi: Yes, this is the right choice for Veronica, isn't it? Momochi-kun should be the only one in the spotlight.

Ohgi: Mr. Veronica is enough on his own.

mmc: Um...

It's crowded, isn't it?

Yeah, thanks to everyone.

Excuse me, but is there a limit to the number of people allowed here?

Oh, sorry about that.

I still have another joint performance, so I have to go back for a makeup touch-up.

Gah, wait a minute -

Why did he just barge in like that? We were here first.

Sigh, what's his deal?

This is why I hate Kagaribi!

[02:07]

Shizuru: Eh? But that was because Akkun...

AMA: No, I mean when I looked at his reaction, Yamato made eye contact...

Ohgi: Oh, Momochi-kun, you did a great job tonight.

Ohgi: I thought you were going to change clothes and come back.

mmc: Yeah, that was the plan, but some things came up.. ha… ha…

Shizuru: But Momochi-kun was amazing in the park at night.

mmc: It was amazing! Thank you so much. By the way, is there any water? I'll need it again soon.

AMA: Oh, that one's still unopened, so go ahead and drink it. There are still some left from the joint show.

mmc: Hmm, really? It's right after NSFW, so I don't have much time.

Yamato: By the way, when did you make that? It's so cool!

mmc: Ah, yeah. Actually, Reo-kun from Lumiere invited me to try it as a surprise.

Shizuru: He could have told us about it, though.

Shizuru: But it turned out to be a Veronica song, it’s impressive.

mmc: Hehe, right?

mmc: I haven't really arranged other people's songs in my style before, but it worked better than I thought.

AMA: I hope we can do it at Veronica's live someday. It would definitely be exciting.

Yamato: Nice, nice! I wanna get excited with Cheers too!

mmc: Y-Yeah, we'll definitely do it if we get the chance… ahaha…

mmc: Hai, I’m leaving now!

Ohgi: Good luck! We'll be watching on the monitor.

Shizuru: There will be champagne after you finish. Look forward to it.

mmc: Eh? Is the champagne for the after-party again?

Shizuru: Yeah, it's a Fes, so we splurged and got a better one than before.

Yamato: I’m excited!

mmc: I see. But isn't the after-party for all the bands? If we drink champagne, wouldn't it be unfair?

Ohgi: Oh, that’s true.

Shizuru: It's okay, don't worry. I brought 30 bottles for everyone, and if we run out, the staff from our store will bring more.

mmc: As always, you're amazing, haha…

AMA: I wish I could join the after-party too.

Ohgi: Eh, Akkun, you can’t come?

AMA: I have to leave for a shoot in the countryside tomorrow.

Yamato: That's right. It's been a while since we had a toast with all five of us.

Shizuru: Akkun, you're still busy, huh?

AMA: But everyone's busy, right? Anyway, I'll be here until the night performance ends. There might be a result announcement for the Survival, and I want to see that.

Ohgi: I see. But that's true, huh? Today marks the end of this season, and I suddenly feel lonely.

Shizuru: I still want to work with everyone. I hope we succeed in the Survival.

Yamato: No, we will succeed. We're all so excited about it. And if we've come this far, I want the five of us to go as far as we can together!

AMA: Yeah, I feel the same way.

*shiny sfx flashback*

[06:24 Ohgi]

Ohgi: I wonder who it is at this time.

Climax Records?

Oh, the other day.

Hello?

As I mentioned in my email response, I'm sorry, but I'm currently quite busy with music production.

Thank you for considering me, but I can't work with any specific band right now.

What do you mean by 'special request' exactly?

I understand that if I can't deliver good results, I'll be fired, but to judge it based on just one single? This is a pretty severe project.

Oh...

Well, you're right about that.

In some cases, we might get overwhelmed and quit, so it's like we're at the mercy of this situation.

Oh, sorry. Actually, I haven't read the email yet because I intended to refuse the offer.

The song?

Well, yes...

I understand.

[08:08 AMA]

AMA: How about your foot? Is it okay?

Good job. Didn't you say you weren't coming to the set today?

I see. Is it because of a new job?

Another regular feature in a magazine, or something like that.

Well then, I mean...

Oh, really?

Sorry.

Anyway, after this photoshoot, tell me more about it. You mentioned an offer from a band, right?

Now?

[09:55 Shizuru]

Shizuru: Yeah, well. This tour is over after tonight's final performance, and it seems like it was a success. Thank goodness.

Oh, about that, actually, I might quit after all. There's talk of going to Europe next year.

Yeah, actually, I've got an interesting offer.

To play keyboard for a certain rock band.

Haha, right? I mean, isn't it unexpected for me to join a band?

It's so off the wall that it's piqued my interest.

I'm also graduating from university this spring, and my parents are pushing me to do more serious piano work abroad.

Honestly, I still want to try doing various things in Japan.

And also, you know, I mentioned it before, right?

I've been into wine lately, and I'm interested in food and drink.

The agency said that even if I join them, I can continue my personal work as usual.

At this point, it might be okay to try everything at once.

No, that's...

Heheh...

It's kind of complicated, you know?

They have been active as a band for quite some time, but all the members except the vocalist have left.

Hmm, I think the name was Veronica.

[11:48 Yamato]

Yamato: Yosh, okay. Also, let's load it up in my car.

Oh, thank you, thank you. Thanks for reaching out to me again. Playing with this group really gets my energy up.

Tour? Really? Of course, I’ll do it, I'll do it!

Yeah, well, I can't go into too much detail because the agency that offered me the job made me sign a non-disclosure agreement, but... just between us, I might be joining a certain band for a while.

Uwah, I was actually considering freelancing, but maybe joining a band would be a better fit.

But there are still a lot of unknowns. Even if I join the band, I might end up freelancing again soon.

Anyway, why don't we work together for the few months that I've been hired for? And if it goes well, the company president might want me to continue.

It seems like a weird project, though. I tried to dig a little deeper into why they're doing it, but I don't really know.

Apparently, the vocalist is a pretty difficult person to deal with. The band even broke up once, but he stayed behind.

I don't really know. But the band's songs are really cool.

I saw some old live footage, and it was amazing. Apparently, all the songs were made by the problematic vocalist.

And actually, the new members joining this time are really amazing. They're all well-known and talented people from various scenes.

Anyway, it's luxurious, and I can't even imagine what it'll be like when everyone's together, but I said I'd do it because it seems interesting!

No, don't make it sound like I'm always some impulsive guy who's not thinking things through. I'm actually doing a lot of things, you know.

Actually, my younger brother and I have been talking about expanding our family business for a while now.

He just graduated from a local university this year, so we’ve both started to move seriously.

Basically, I have a stable job on the side of being a freelance musician.

Well, it's a pretty well-established store in Kyoto, and things seem to be going well.

But, you know, they've been selling the same traditional Japanese sweets since the Edo period

Even though it’s a super long-lasting regular hit product, isn't it risky to rely only on that?

Yeah, that's right.

So, I was thinking if there was something else we could do on the side.

The artisans we have now are getting older, and there are only a few good apprentices...

Anyway, while we still have strong brand power, let's do something completely different and new.

Oh!

Thank you! Good work! Well then, I should be going now. I'll contact you later about the tour.

Huh? After-party? Of course, we're going!

At the usual dart bar, OK. Then, I'll go as soon as I put my instrument at home.

Oh, by the way, is there any girls coming?

[16:10]

Yamato: Oh, I just had a good idea!

Yamato: If we succeed in this Survival, why don’t we have a separate after-party just for Veronica?

Yamato: Then, Akkun can come too, and we can all toast with five people, right?

AMA: Really?

Ohgi: Sounds good.

Shizuru: Since we're already at it, should we do it? Oh, and you can use my store for it, actually, I've been tweaking the layout a bit...

Shizuru: It should be finished by the end of the month, and I want everyone to see the new interior. What do you think?

Ohgi: Didn't Shizu's store just get renovated?

Shizuru: No, that's not the case.

Shizuru: That was during the last hiatus of the Survival, which was about a year and a half ago. We just bought the adjacent tenant's space and knocked down the wall.

Shizuru: There were some subtle things that bothered me about it. Alright, it’s decided then.

Shizuru: I have to ask Momochi-kun about his schedule later.

Dear Vocalist Unlimited Veronica Translation — PIECES [track two]

ディア ヴォーカリスト Unlimited エントリーNo.5 Veronica / モモチ (CV: 豊永利行)

- Drums: YAMATO (CV. Shunichi Toki)

- Guitar: OHGI (CV. Makoto Furukawa)

- Bass: AMA (CV. Kengo Kawanishi)

- Keyboard: SHIZURU (CV. Yoshitaka Yamaya)

Yamato: Ah, I see. That could be a good idea. Nowadays, online shopping is more popular, so it might be better to do that too.

But, what about the expiration date issue? Ultimately, that's the root of the problem in our city. What is dad saying about this?

He used to say things that seemed to be against that kind of thing. Like, "Try to use additives as little as possible”.

Oh, Momochi-kun!

Over here, over here! Sorry, but let's talk about this another time. I'm going to a drinking party now.

Mm, bye-bye.

mmc: Sorry for making you come to pick me up~

Yamato: No problem, no problem, it's on the way anyway.

mmc: By the way, did Yamato-kun get a new car again?

Yamato: Ah, did you notice? Actually, it was just delivered last week.

Yamato: I scratched the old car in the parking lot of my apartment building.

mmc: Eh, you bought a new one because of that? Or rather, you hit it pretty hard, didn't you?

Yamato: No, there wasn't even a dent, just a little paint came off.

Yamato: So, I wasn't planning on getting a new one…

Yamato: I really liked it, but you know how those salespeople at the dealership are so good at talking?

Yamato: They said, "You can upgrade to a new car with just this much from the trade-in value, even after subtracting the repair cost." I fell for it, scary.

mmc: I see. I don't have a car, so I don't really understand that kind of thing... ha ha…

[02:01] Ohgi

Ohgi: Yes, I've been able to work on idol group songs one after another lately. Thank you for listening. But they are a male group after all, and Spark is a group that shows off acrobatic dance moves.

The director was aware of that.

Thank you very much for today.

Really? I'm honored. Then, I look forward to hearing about the album.

It depends on the timing, but if there aren’t any issues, I think I can still take a few more songs. The conversation will change a bit if it's after the New Year, though.

Yes, that's right.

But, well, I'm not the one who writes Veronica's songs, so I think it'll be a while before I get too busy with that.

The thing that's keeping me busy right now is another job that I took on my own.

It's often said subtly, but for me, the reason Veronica can continue in this form is precisely because of it, you know?

There's a different kind of appeal too.

*shiny sfx flashback*

[03:25]

mmc: Oh, really? Then, was the song for that commercial also by Ohgi-kun?

Ohgi: Yes, I made it before Veronica's offer came in.

Ohgi: It feels like it's been a while since then, though.

mmc: I see... Hey, Ohgi-kun, as a guitarist of course, but even as a music producer, you're selling so well. So why Veronica?

Ohgi: Well...

Ohgi: It's because of the songs I heard.

mmc: Huh? The songs?

Ohgi: Yeah, I just thought they were amazing when I heard the songs that Momochi-kun made.

Ohgi; So I said if I could be involved even just by playing the guitar, I would.

Ohgi: And besides, lately, producing work has become my main thing.

Ohgi: I'm not dissatisfied with that, but sometimes it's good to experience things from the player's perspective.

Ohgi: There are things you can learn from it.

mmc: Hmm, I see.

mmc: Oh, by the way, it's a bit late to ask, but...

mmc: Ohgi-kun is your real name, right? It's a rare name.

Ohgi: Well, yeah.

Ohgi: But if you say that, Momochi-kun's name is rare too, isn't it?

mmc: Haha, that’s true. I was a little confused at first myself.

Ohgi: Oh… but that's your real name too, right?

mmc: Yeah.

mmc: But originally it was a pretty common name, and I suddenly had to start living with my father in the middle of elementary school.**

Ohgi: I see. Sorry. I guess I asked something unnecessary.

mmc: No, it's fine…

mmc: Just keep it a secret from everyone else, okay? I still don't know everyone very well.

Ohgi: Of course. Me too.

Ohgi: I'll pretend I didn't hear anything.

[05:34]

Shizuru: Oh, here they come. Welcome.

Yamato: Hey, Shizu. I parked the car in the usual spot, so can you keep it until tomorrow?

Yamato: If it's in the way, feel free to move it.

Yamato: OK, here's the key.

Shizuru: Got it. I'll tell the staff later.

mmc: What about Ohgi-kun and Akkun? Are they working today too?

Shizuru: Mhm. They're coming from the job site, so they'll be a little late.

Shizuru: They said it was okay to start without them, though.

Yamato: By the way, the inside of the store looks so different now!

Yamato: Did you buy this grand piano?

Shizuru: No, I just had the one from my house brought here.

Shizuru: To be honest, I haven't used it much.

Shizuru: But it seemed like a waste to just leave it as a decoration.

Shizuru: Hey, Momochi-kun, don't you notice something?

mmc: Huh? Notice what?

Shizuru: Well, I guess not.

Shizuru: Maybe it's hard to tell since the scale is different. I tried to make it look like a stage, with a little more height.

Shizuru: Remember the bar you took me to, Momochi-kun? The one near the old apartment you used to live in.

mmc: Eh?

Yamato: Oh, yeah, I remember now! Now that you mention it, it does look a little similar!

mmc: Wait, did we go to that bar together?

Yamato: We did! I remember that you took me out once a while ago, don't remember when it was though.

*shiny sfx flashback*

[07:13]

Yamato: Oh, I see. Fine. Mhm, see you later!

Yamato: No good, Ohgi can't make it today either.

Shizuru: Aw, really? So it's just the two of us in the end? Akkun is overseas now.

Yamato: We had plans for a private get-together after such a long time.

Yamato: In that case, let's try inviting Momochi-kun, even if it's a long shot~

Shizuru: Or rather, I'll just lure him in suddenly*. His apartment is quite close by, right?

Yamato: Definitely, definitely! Shall we go and see if he's up for it?

[08:05]

Shizuru: Huh, they're playing live music. That's amazing.

mmc: Yeah, it's a nice atmosphere here, isn't it?

Yamato: Do you come here often, Momochi-kun?

mmc: Not really that often... Oh, I'll have the usual.

Shizuru: Alright, then I'll have the same.

Yamato: Me too!

Yamato: By the way, sorry for just showing up at your apartment like that~! I didn't think you'd have a friend over. Is it okay that you came out to the bar, Momochi-kun?

mmc: Eh? Yeah, don’t worry. It's her friend who is visiting… ha ha…

Shizuru: Are you close with your girlfriend's friends? I envy that.

mmc: W-well, not really "close"...

mmc: Anyways, Yamato-kun, are you okay with being taken to a bar like this? I thought you said you were driving earlier...

Yamato: Yeah, I'll take a taxi back, so it's okay.

Yamato: I have another car at home, so I'll just leave it in the parking lot and pick it up when I have time.

mmc: Oh, I see. That's good, then.

[09:22]

Shizuru: Oh, do you think someone else will sing next?

mmc: Ah, yeah, that's right. That person is the resident singer here. Sometimes they play just the piano, like earlier.

Shizuru: Oh, I see. So singing is more of the main thing? I’m looking forward to it.

Yamato: By the way, what about you, Momochi-kun? What do you think of their singing? Is it good?

mmc: Eh? …Oh, yeah. They're pretty good, you know?

Shizuru: If you ask Momochi-kun, it's kind of unfair to the singer, don't you think? I mean, he can sing so well, so it's only natural to have high standards, right?

Shizuru: By the way, I've been wondering about this for a while now…

Shizuru: Momochi-kun, why did you start doing music? Was there a particular reason?

mmc: Huh?

mmc: Let me see... I didn't consciously start doing it myself, but I just naturally started doing it through my relationships with people around me... And there was a piano at home since I was little.

Shizuru: Hmm... Oh, could it be that your parents were also in the music industry?

mmc: No, it's not that big of a deal? Oh, look, it's starting.

[10:52]

mmc: Oh, yeah. I think something like that might have happened.

mmc: I see, you liked that bar. I stopped going there much after that, and I've moved since then.

Shizuru: The atmosphere was good, but above all, isn’t it the best being able to drink while listening to live music by a professional singer?

Shizuru: I want to hire an exclusive singer at my place too. It could be every weekend or every other week.

Shizuru: Does anyone know a good person? We have a piano, so they could incorporate that too.

Yamato: Shizuru can just play it himself.

Yamato: Oh, and how about Momochi-kun singing? Cheers would definitely be happy!

mmc: Eh?

Shizuru: Hmmm, I wasn't really planning on playing it myself.

Shizuru: But if Momochi-kun is going to sing, that's a different story.

Shizuru: We could make it a reservation-only event for that day.

mmc: But if we’re going to do it, we should do it properly as a Veronica live, right? I mean, isn't that what everyone wants?

mmc: This place is great but the number of tables is limited, and there will be many people who won't be able to come to listen if we do it this way… ne?

Yamato: Certainly~ If Momochi is going to sing, this place will be full in seconds.

Shizuru: Hey, don't say things like "this place." We can accommodate twice as many people as when we first opened.

Ohgi: Oh, sorry, I'm late.

Shizuru: Welcome! In fact, you're earlier than I expected.

Yamato: I wonder if Akkun is still on his way?

Yamato: Let's wait until everyone is here to make a toast. For now, let's get started, shall we?

mmc: Y-yeah. We'll just be even more delayed if we wait.

Shizuru: Okay, then let's have some hors d'oeuvres brought in for now.

Shizuru: What's everyone having to drink first?

Ohgi: I'm fine with anything.

Yamato: Actually, what do you have today? I want to choose~!

Shizuru: Um, today we have... Hey, let me show you what's in the cellar.

*"いきなりと釣っちゃう" (ikinari to tsuruccha) in this context means "to suddenly invite (someone)". The idiom "釣る" (tsuru) literally means "to fish".

**I believe Momochi means that he used to have a common last name, until he had to move in with his father in elementary school - and took on his father’s rare last name…? ;; the momochi lore ahh
