[Requests Accepted] [CIRCUS] D.C.III R ～ダ・カーポIII アール～ [VJ010270]

The masterpiece "D.C. ~Da Capo~" series, proudly presented by the top brand "Circus," has finally released the downloadable version of "D.C.III R," which includes additional elements! **Hatsune Island Arc** Once upon a time, it was said that the cherry blossoms bloomed all year round on Hatsune Island. The island was widely known for its rich nature that showcased the beauty of all four seasons. At Kazami Academy on Hatsune Island, Yoshino Kiyotaka, a second-year student, is part of the newspaper club along with five girls: Rikka Morizono, the idol of the academy; his childhood friend, the younger-like sister Hineno Katsuragi; and his half-cousin Charles Yoshino. However, unlike in the past, when mysterious events were abundant, the current Hatsune Island has not seen any significant incidents worthy of reporting, leading the club members to spend their days idly in the clubroom. —On a winter day, despite the season, the cherry blossoms on Hatsune Island suddenly began to bloom all at once. Furthermore, the newspaper club members received a mass email on their phones from an unknown sender. The message read: "When the cherry blossoms bloom, meet at the promised place—" The latter part of the message was garbled and unreadable. However, the somewhat cryptic text, dated 1951, piqued their interest. "This is an email from the past! Don’t you think it perfectly reflects our current situation? Where could that promised place be? What will happen there? And why did the cherry blossoms suddenly bloom? We, the newspaper club, will solve this mystery!" With determination, the newspaper club president, Rikka Morizono, made this bold declaration. As Kiyotaka and the others investigated the mystery, they were drawn to a cherry tree that never withered. Beside it stood a mysterious woman. Although they were meeting for the first time, she felt oddly nostalgic. "Then, shall I tell you a story?" The mysterious woman began to recount an old tale—one that took place over a hundred years ago in London, detailing her encounter and parting with Kiyotaka. "It is a story of beginnings, like a dream that repeats, reminiscent of Da Capo." **Characters** **[The Innocent Academy Idol]** - Rikka Morizono (CV: Nazuna Seri) Known for her outstanding looks and friendly personality, she is called the academy's idol. She is the president of the "official" newspaper club to which Kiyotaka belongs. Once she sets her mind on something, she goes straight for it, and she seems to have fallen in love with Kiyotaka at first sight, claiming, "We were lovers in our past lives; you could say we are destined for each other," which is a rather mysterious approach. She seems to have a contentious relationship with Suginami from the unofficial newspaper club. **[The Half and Indulgent Cousin]** - Charles Yoshino (CV: Suzuka Fujiwara) A year older cousin who currently lives with Kiyotaka in an apartment. She dotes on Kiyotaka and is quite affectionate, which sometimes leaves him at a loss for how to respond. Although she wants to take care of him in various ways, her cooking skills leave much to be desired. The boyish name "Charles" was given by her father, and she seems to like it. **[The Childhood Friend Who Can't Be Honest]** - Hineno Katsuragi (CV: Kokoro Moriya) A childhood friend who lives in the apartment next door to Kiyotaka. Having been taken care of by the Katsuragi family since they were young, they share a sibling-like bond. However, ever since they began to view each other as potential romantic interests, she struggles to be honest and often says the opposite of what she feels. She excels at household chores and is quite skilled in cooking. **[The Serious and Hardworking Younger Classmate]** - Sara Rukawa (CV: Rui Takanashi) A younger girl who has skipped a grade and is now in the same class as Kiyotaka. She has a serious personality and can be a bit inflexible. This trait sometimes leads her to overexert herself, causing her to be seen as bothersome. Although she excels academically enough to skip a grade, she seems to struggle with social interactions. She can get flustered when teased, revealing her still-childish side. **[The Always Smiling, Energetic Sickly Girl]** - Aoi Hinomoto (CV: Sayu Ayaki) A first-year student and Kiyotaka's junior. She is always cheerful and has a bright smile. However, she was born with a weak constitution and can easily fall ill if she overexerts herself. Despite her health issues, she juggles multiple part-time jobs, embodying the spirit of a working girl. After Kiyotaka helped her when she collapsed from anemia, she began to look up to him like an older brother. Her habit of following him around has earned her the reputation of being like a dog wagging its tail behind its master. **Kazami Dandelion Arc** Then, another story unfolds, narrated by the mysterious woman— Kiyotaka, the eldest son of the Katsuragi family, a renowned family of magicians in Japan, sets off to study abroad at the Royal London Magic Academy, commonly known as "Kazami Dandelion," alongside his sister Hineno. Waiting for Kiyotaka and Hineno in this foreign land is the fog-covered city of London and a vast underground academy city. This city, consisting of three islands floating in a crescent shape over an underground lake, attracts aspiring magicians from all over the world who wish to learn magic in an optimal environment. While making many new friends, Kiyotaka navigates his new surroundings and enjoys a fulfilling school life. It is a repetitive, ordinary, yet dreamlike experience, much like Da Capo. One day, while walking through the streets of London with Rikka, Kiyotaka meets a girl beneath a giant clock tower. The girl, holding a small cherry blossom branch, has lost most of her memories. After tests reveal she possesses magical powers, she will be taken care of at Kazami Dandelion for a while. —Kiyotaka carries a wish entrusted to him by his father. To fulfill it, he must become a member of the student council at Kazami Dandelion. To that end, Kiyotaka decides to run for the student council election. Amidst this, a request arrives from the queen. There are those who use magical powers to harm others—Kiyotaka and his friends must race through the foggy streets of London to prevent any incidents. The mystery of the amnesiac girl and the ever-present fog. And the magical cherry blossom branch she possessed. The gears of fate for Kiyotaka and his friends begin to turn. It is a tale of encounters and farewells that repeats, much like Da Capo. **Characters** **[The Idolized Genius Beautiful Girl Magician]** - Rikka Greenwood (CV: Nazuna Seri) A first-year student in Class A at Kazami Dandelion, she is one of only five Category 5 magicians in the world. She is also the master (homeroom teacher) for Kiyotaka's class. With her talent, beauty, and dignified presence, she is an idol not only at the academy but also within the magician community. When you talk to her, she has a friendly and playful side, which leaves a good impression. Why is such a person still a student? Only she knows the answer. **[The Kind and Caring Big Sister]** - Charles Malrose (CV: Suzuka Fujiwara) The knowledgeable and exceptionally talented student council president of Kazami Dandelion. Always calm and nurturing, she is immensely popular among the students. Coupled with her nice figure, she attracts intense attention from the male students.

Having been raised in a sheltered environment, she has a somewhat naive and shy side, and she tends to put on a facade in front of anyone other than her family. She excels in domestic tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, sewing, and cooking, with her culinary skills at a professional level. She seems to harbor a crush on her older brother Kiyotaka, but her stubborn personality often leads her to say the opposite of what she feels. **[The Overachieving Yet Struggling Noble Girl]** - Sara Chrysalis (CV: Rui Takanashi) The daughter of the traditional and renowned Chrysalis noble family in England, which is also famous for its lineage of magicians. However, her family's status seems to be declining, and she appears to be facing various struggles. She is serious and hardworking, which can also make her seem rigid and clumsy, leading to her isolation within the class. Although she always maintains a mature demeanor, her childish side occasionally slips through. **[The Always Energetic Working Girl]** - Aoi Hinomoto (CV: Sayu Ayaki) A diligent girl who works part-time at various places, including the school cafeteria and the dormitory dining hall, as well as the café "Flowers" throughout the academy city.
