An Entrance Ceremony on the Bed 1 Translation: Dreaming Translations
Chapter 1
Yuma Mochizuki	… Ah, Granny? ‘S me… yeah. Just got t’ Tokyo safely. Right about now I’m in that famous Shibuya. There’re some real crazy folks here, but I’m doin’ okay. … Yeah. I’ll make lots’a friends, so don’t worry. Ya better take care’a yourself, too, Granny. Promise me ya won’t go pushin’ yourself too hard. … Yup, I’ll be tryin’ my best too. … Mm, thank ya. I’ll call ya again.
	… As soon as I hung up the phone, I could hear the hustle and bustle of Tokyo again. The unfamiliar voices of the city, of other people. Louder and colder than the sound of the waves, nestled against the shore of my hometown – … and unnaturally close.
Yuma Mochizuki	… There really are a lotta folks in Tokyo, after all. Wonder what’s the best way to school from here?
Scene Change: Shinonome Academy
Yuma Mochizuki	(From this day forward, I’ll be at Shinonome Academy.) (Politics, industry, show business, arts, science – a mega-elite school with names of children of celebrities from every field on the roster.) (In particular, there exists what’s known as the Elite Class, chosen according to a strict scouting rule. They could be called the stars of the academy.) (But every year, a top student is chosen from among the graduates of the Elite Class –– …)
Announcer	–– The election of a top student from the Elite Class at Shinonome Academy is sure a hot topic every year! And it’s no wonder! The graduate chosen for the top seat will be tasked with carrying the future of Japan on their back – a key figure indeed! Having access to government intelligence and institutions without the need for prior permission is only the beginning! They will also get the chance to meet with Cabinet members, and receive a loan of 1 trillion yen from the world’s leading banks! At any rate, take a look at that! What appears to be female and even male fans are lined up en masse, waiting for their arrival –– Today we’ve come to interview the new students of the Elite Class, who may earn such a leading advantage in the future, on their special entrance ceremony! There it is! Without further ado, it seems those shining gems have begun to show up! A limousine! A limousine surrounded by guards has appeared! Oh!? The person getting out, could it be––…!
????	I’ll be on my way now, Father.
Announcer	So it is! The son of the current Prime Minister, Harimiya-san! An incredible number of people are pushing their way toward the car, but I won’t lose this interview opportunity! Prime Minister! Prime Minister Harimiya–! Congratulations on your son’s admission! Please spare us even just a few words!
????	My deepest apologies, members of the press. Today, my father celebrates this new step in my life not as a politician, but simply as a parent. While it may be presumptuous of me, should you have any questions, I will gladly answer in my father’s stead.
Announcer	S… Such intelligent correspondence! You can already see the personality of the one who will carry Japan’s future! And he’s unimaginably handsome! He’s practically sparkling!
????	Haha. Thank you very much. To come out this early in the morning, you’ve worked so hard.
Announcer	Oh…! This must be what they call the “killer smile”! Even I, a man, felt my heart skip a beat! Oh my! Next it seems we have the appearance of a helicopter from the sky! In the midst of this blast of wind, a single student descends, dashingly using a rope ladder!
????	Huh, Japan sure is noisy.
Announcer	As expected of Shinonome Academy! The super elite, mega-prestigious high school! Even just the sight of these students arriving to school has a “showtime”-like glamor! Oh ho! We can’t let our guard down for even a moment! Next is the appearance of a motorbike! Wha- What on Earth! That bike, is it not a Charlie Davidson!? If they were to buy a new car, who knows how many months worth of my salary would vanish into thin air! Those high schoolers, buying Charlie Davidsons willy-nilly, have made their appearance! As expected of Shinonome! O great Shinonome Academy!
????	––Hyup.
????	Hey. I told you getting off before I’ve totally stopped is dangerous.
????	––Jin-san!
????	Hm…?
????	Good morning.
????	Ah, it’s you.
????	I’m so glad to see you’ve returned to Japan safely. Ah, your tie is slightly crooked.
????	Really. Go ahead, then.
????	Gladly.
Announcer	Wh– wha– whawhawha… Just what am I looking at right now!?
????	Jeez. You really do like looking after him. Hm. This new cherry mint flavor is a hit.
Announcer	What–!? Next up is a patrol car! At last, students coming to school in even police vehicles have made their appearance!! Aaaah–! The patrol car has parked in front of the school gates! The doors are opening! Just what nature of super high schooler could possibly appear! Now! It’s becoming clear––… … Eh?
Police Officer	Did you make sure you have everything?
Yuma Mochizuki	Yessir. Thank ya kindly.
Announcer	Th… “thank ya kindly”?
Female Student A	Eh, what’s with that “kindly”…
Female Student B	He must’ve come to the wrong school, right?
Police Officer	Now then, try not to get lost anymore, okay? Congratulations on your admission!
Yuma Mochizuki	This is… Shinonome Academy. (The school I–– Yuma Mochizuki–– will be living out my high school days at from today on…)
