Owner of COL

They getting another early start today?

5
Character icon
Record Shop Owner

Oh, hi!

Out for your morning walk?

6
Character icon
Owner of COL

Yeah, but I also wanted to take a look around to see what's going on.

7
Character icon
Attractive Lady

Hehe. I know what you mean...

It really is a beautiful sight.

8
Character icon
Young People

Guys, bad news...!

All the spots are taken!

9
Character icon
Young People

Seriously...?!

Hey, you can't hog all the space like this!

10
Character icon
Children

You should get here earlier instead of acting so salty! You gotta do at least that if you're actually serious about surpassing RAD BLAST!

11
Character icon
Young People

What?!

There's no way a bunch of kids like you are gonna surpass it! Let's practice over there, fellas!

12
Character icon
Owner of COL

They really turned this place on its head, huh...?

Weekend Garage

Character icon
Ken

Back to the airport already?

You could stay a little while longer.

14
Character icon
Taiga

Unlike a certain someone who's shut down his business, I'm extremely busy.

15
Character icon
Ken

Hey, cut me some slack.

We used to be partners, remember?

16
Character icon
Taiga

Am I wrong?

Also... I need to get back and start improving on my game.

17
Character icon
Taiga

I was supposed to be the one who saw what was waiting beyond her dream, but now I have more rivals to deal with.

18
Character icon
Ken

...

Is that so?

19
Character icon
Taiga

Anyway... Thanks, Ken.

20
Character icon
Taiga

I'm not holding back against them next time.

21
Character icon
Ken

Haha. You're always so eager to fight.

22
Character icon
Ken

We should team back up again.

23
Character icon
Taiga

Huh...?

24
Character icon
Ken

They're going to carry Nagi's dream forward now. Also...

25
Character icon
Ken

The kids who saw them have already begun the next chase.

26
Character icon
Ken

I've finished my task of raising the next generation, which means I can become an artist again. So...

27
Character icon
Ken

How about it, Taiga?

28
Character icon
Taiga

What about your business?

You're never going to hear the end of it from your wife if you abandon it, right?

29
Character icon
Ken

I've already talked to her about that. She said to not come back until I'm standing on top of the world.

30
Character icon
Ken

Also, unlike you, I'm responsible with my money. RADder fortunately did well enough that An should be fine until she becomes an adult.

31
Character icon
Ken

My wife agreed to opening up shop again and having someone trustworthy run things while I'm gone.

32
Character icon
Ken

As for An, she just smiled and said, “I guess this means we're rivals now, Dad.”

33
Character icon
Taiga

Geez, do you know how lucky you are to have a wife and daughter that understanding?

34
Character icon
Taiga

You can still sing, right?

35
Character icon
Ken

Do you think I'd be asking if I thought I'd be holding you back?

36
Character icon
Taiga

Despite knowing that there's a long gap on your resume... You're on.

37
Character icon
Ken

Haha. I'm glad I won you over.

38
Character icon
Taiga

Anyway, welcome back. Partner.

39
Character icon
Ken

What should we call ourselves?

Do you want to pick our team name this time...?

40
Character icon
Taiga

Sure, then...

How about something like GODS? That'd make us sound pretty strong.

41
Character icon
Ken

Wow, you still have the worst taste...

42
Character icon
Taiga

Huh?

If you don't like it, then come up with a better name.

43
Character icon
Ken

I will.

We'll be called...

Cemetery
44
Character icon
An

There.

All that's left is to clean up the incense ashes...

45
Character icon
An

How's that, Aunt Nagi? Sparkling clean, right?

46
Character icon
Kohane

We've finished cleaning this side too, An!

47
Character icon
An

Thanks!

Alright, that should be everything!

48
Character icon
Akito

To be fair, it was already pretty clean.

49
Character icon
Toya

It was.

And there were so many offerings.

50
Character icon
Kohane

Hehe. Yeah.

51
Character icon
Kohane

I'm guessing a lot of other people have come by to pay their respects to Nagi.

52
Character icon
An

...

*Nod*

53
Character icon
Kotaro

Hey, I fetched us some more water!

54
Character icon
Arata

Apologies for the wait.

The spigot was further away than we thought.

55
Character icon
Soma

I'm also really sorry!

I'm still not used to moving around in a wheelchair.

56
Character icon
An

No, that's okay!

We actually just finished cleaning!

57
Character icon
An

Anyway, now let's pay our respects.

58
Character icon
An

And lemme introduce you all to her!

59
Character icon
Kohane

Okay!

60
Character icon
An

Look how far we've made it, Aunt Nagi.

61
Character icon
An

And now we're gonna go see what lies beyond your dream.

62
Character icon
An

We're gonna go to all the places and see all the sights you didn't get to.

63
Character icon
Kohane

Thank you very much, Nagi.

64
Character icon
Kohane

We wouldn't have been able to come this far without you. So...

65
Character icon
Kohane

You can leave your dream to us now.

66
Character icon
Akito

We're going to stand on top of the world. We're going to take on your biggest wish.

67
Character icon
Toya

So, I hope you'll keep watching over us.

68
Character icon
An

Okay!

That should be enough!

69
Character icon
Kotaro

Hm? Are you sure?

I thought you'd want to tell her more, like how hard your training was and stuff.

70
Character icon
An

She doesn't need to know about any of that! I wanna look cool in front of her!

71
Character icon
An

Plus, my goal for today was to introduce all of you guys to her!

72
Character icon
Arata

Right...

And we're definitely glad we came.

73
Character icon
Kotaro

Yeah, me too.

74
Character icon
Kohane

Oh, before I forget...

75
Character icon
Tatsuya

Hm? What's up?

76
Character icon
Kohane

What are you all going to do now?

77
Character icon
Kotaro

That's right...!

I never said!

78
Character icon
Kotaro

I want more people to hear me rap, so I'm thinking about uploading some videos online.

79
Character icon
Akito

Really...?!

I had no idea.

80
Character icon
Kotaro

I mean, I don't have any money, so I'll have to work somewhere around here in the meantime.

81
Character icon
Kotaro

I've already set up my channel, so you guys need to subscribe to it!

82
Character icon
Tatsuya

Haha. I'll do the next chance I get.

83
Character icon
Toya

What are your plans, EVER?

84
Character icon
Tatsuya

We're signing with a major label.

85
Character icon
An

A major label?

86
Character icon
Tatsuya

Yeah.

We got an offer a little while back.

87
Character icon
Tatsuya

We thought about sticking to the street, but we want to take this opportunity to spread this neighborhood's music around the world...

88
Character icon
EVER Member A

Because it's the best music in the world!

89
Character icon
EVER Member B

I mean, it's a shame that more people don't know about it already.

90
Character icon
An

Wow, a major label...!

We'll definitely be looking forward to your big debut!

91
Character icon
Akito

So, Tono, what are you gonna do...?

92
Character icon
Arata

Soma and I will be reforming our team.

93
Character icon
Akito

I had a feeling.

94
Character icon
Soma

That's right!

We're getting our team back together. I'm gonna make the tracks and Arata's gonna sing them.

95
Character icon
Toya

I'm glad to hear that.

Congratulations, both of you.

96
Character icon
Arata

Thank you.

97
Character icon
Arata

Signing with a label is an option, but so is staying independent or even going overseas to train. We still have some decisions to make...

98
Character icon
Arata

As for the dream Nagi entrusted us with, we'll be chasing it too.

99
Character icon
Arata

You aren't the only ones who want to conquer the world. So do we, which means we'll be rivals from here on out.

100
Character icon
Akito

Is that so?

Then, we'll be looking forward to meeting you again.

101
Character icon
Arata

Yes, so will we.

102
Character icon
Arata

Anyway, what are your plans, Vivid BAD SQUAD?

103
Character icon
An

You already know the answer to that question.

104
Character icon
An

To stand on top of the world!

105
Character icon
An

We're gonna see what lies beyond Aunt Nagi's dream!

106
Character icon
Akito

Yeah.

107
Character icon
Toya

She entrusted her dream to us...

But we also want to go see the world beyond it.

108
Character icon
Kotaro

To stand on top of the world, huh...?

I have no idea how you guys are actually gonna do that...

109
Character icon
Tatsuya

But I have a feeling that you'll succeed.

I mean, you've got the singing skills to do it.

110
Character icon
Kohane

(Us standing on top of the world...)

111
Character icon
Kohane

(Mita has a point...

I have no idea how we're actually going to do that...)

112
Character icon
Kohane

(But I'm not worried.

I'm sure we'll figure out a way.)

113
Character icon
Kohane

(I mean...)

114
Character icon
Kohane

(I mean...)

115
Character icon
Kohane

(We've been able to overcome all the obstacles that have stood in our way.)

116
Character icon
Kohane

(And...)

117
Character icon
Kohane

(Standing on top of the world...)

118
Character icon
Kohane

(Just thinking about what that view's going to look like fills me with so much excitement!)

119
Character icon
Kohane

An! Shinonome! Aoyagi!

120
Character icon
Akito

Hm?

121
Character icon
Toya

Yes, Azusawa?

122
Character icon
Kohane

I want to see what it's like from up there as soon as possible!

123
Character icon
An

You said it, partner!

That's what I like to hear!

124
Character icon
An

So, let's start heading towards our next goal!

125
Character icon
Akito, Kohane & Toya

Okay!

Yeah!

Yes!

126
Character icon
Kohane

(Hehe...)

127
Character icon
Kohane

(I can't wait to see what we get to see next!)

128
Character icon
???

...

129
Character icon
???

Nagi could definitely trust those guys with her dream.

130
Character icon
???

Yeah...

It was a good event.

131
Character icon
???

Vivid BAD SQUAD, huh...?
