Then, let's get started!

Okay! Thank you for agreeing to help us again today!

♪————! ————!!

Yes, excellent start!

Try to keep that up!

(She sounds very motivated again today.)

(She seems to have a clear image of how she wants her voice to be heard.)

(We've made our decision!

This is our new starting point!)

(Which means...)

(I have to remember what I felt...

During our third event, and when we faced off against Taiga...!)

♪————!!

Oh wow.

Looks like Kohane's bringing her A game!

So, Akito, why don't we try to do the same?

Yes.

Let's do just that.

Okay! Here we go!

He's singing with a lot of power...

I need to do the same.

Hehe. I know how you feel. So, why don't we also get started?

Rin, Len!

Could you lend me a hand again?

Of course!

I want you to pay close attention to how these two sing. Think about where they expend energy or refrain and try to recreate that.

Okay, I'll do just that!

Thank you both for doing this.

Yeah, no problem!

Ready?!

There...

I fell behind you again, Miku...

But I'm not done yet...!

Let's go one more time!

Hehe. That's the spirit.

I'll go as many times as you want.

(Everyone sounds really motivated...)

(There's no point in thinking about that.

I have to focus on what I'm doing now... I need to do much more...!)

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Huff... Huff...

Nice work, everyone.

But I'm starting to hear fatigue in your voices.

So am I. It's getting late, so why don't we call things here for now? We wouldn't want your families to worry.

Right...

Whoa, it is getting late...

I gotta get home!

M-Me too...

(But...)

I want to keep practicing...

Kohane, you shouldn't push yourself so hard. Overdoing it is only going to backfire.

She's right. Knowing when to take breaks is also important.

Yes, you're both right...

Anyway, MEIKO, thank you very much for letting us borrow your cafe again.

Of course. It's always my pleasure.

We'll see you all again tomorrow.

Hm...?

Toya?

What's up?

Oh, so...

Soma, Tono's partner... He just sent me a message...

What do you think Soma's like...?

Oh, that's right.

You two haven't met him yet.

No, we never got a chance to go with Arata to the hospital since stuff kept coming up.

As for what Soma is like...

He's...

Friendly, easy to talk to...and clearly loves music very much.

I'm sure you two will also enjoy meeting him.

Oh, that's good to hear...

I was a little worried since we're coming along on such short notice. But I'm really excited now.

Me too.

Also...

I hope we can find out how Arata's doing. Soma might still be in contact with him.

Right...

It'll be nice to sit down and talk with him.

Oh, hey.

Isn't that Vivid BAD SQUAD...?

Didn't Taiga totally demolish them the other day?

Yeah, everyone's been talking about that battle. Winning in style's one thing, but that was pretty mean of him...

I really thought they had a chance against him. Guess this means no one's ever gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND.

(Oh...)

No one's ever gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND, huh...?

Yeah, of course they'd think that...

I mean, there was just that big of a skill gap between us and Uncle Taiga...

Yeah...

In any case, let's go...

We don't have time for this right now.

Okay...

I mean, this is sorta what they get for going around saying they're gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND.

I know, right? Did they really think that they could become even more legendary than Taiga and his team?

Hey.

You kids get your kicks laughing at the people who try?

Huh?

You talkin' to us, gramps?

Crap...!

That's the owner of Crawl Green!

What?! We, uhh...!

W-We're sorry!!!

*Sigh*

...

I'm guessing you heard from Ken?

Yeah, he said he told them everything.

I guess this is it...

About time we all got our comeuppance, eh?

Nagi's wishes were just part of it.

We put a whole lot on An's shoulders.

We did...

You know...

I feel awful about what we did to her.

At the same time...

If An has come to terms with Nagi's last wishes... I can't help but feel excited...

...

There isn't much us old folks can do for her and her friends. We should stand aside and let them walk down the path they've chosen...

Yeah, I agree...

*Sigh*

No gawkers here. I think we're far enough away now.

I guess everyone really is talking about our battle against Taiga...

Huh...?

Oh...!

Isn't that...?

Kotaro...!
