Oh! Good morning, everyone!

Morning, Kohane!

Good morning. You're here early.

Hm? We agreed to meet at eleven, right? But we're all here thirty minutes early...

I know why!

We were all looking forward to today so much that we couldn't help but wake up early! Even Akito!

Hey, we're not little kids and this isn't some field trip.

Actually, she might not be far off.

Quiet, you...

The point is that I never thought I'd get to see this place again.

Hehe.

(They must've really been looking forward to this day if they're this openly anxious about it.)

(I can't wait either...)

(I'm finally getting a chance to see a part of the reason why An and Shinonome want to surpass RAD WEEKEND as much as they do...!)

Hey, you guys are early.

We weren't supposed to meet for a while, you know?

Hello, Taiga!

Of course we're here early!

Two of us at least never thought we'd ever get to see COL again!

Thank you for creating this incredible opportunity for us today.

We definitely wouldn't have been able to do anything like this on our own.

Heh. I'm glad you're happy, but this is about all I can show you guys at this point...

The owner's waiting for us there, so let's start making our way over.

Okay!

Here it is.

The basement for this building's COL.

Whoa, talk about a blast from the past... I totally remember lining up here to get in, and how the line spilled out onto the street...

Yeah, and three years have passed since...

From the outside, it looks like any of the other dives you can find around here.

Just what exactly are you calling a dive...?

Hey, Granny.

See? As happy and healthy as ever, right?

I'm the owner of this place, not your “Granny”. Thirty years and you still refuse to learn any manners...

Is this person really the owner, An...?

Yeah, it's her. She used to own and operate a bunch of live houses around here.

Dad and Uncle Taiga have known her since they were our age.

I had no idea...!

That's so cool.

I know, right?

Anyway, long time no see!

Hm? Oh, if it isn't An.

It's nice to see that the girl with a chip on her shoulder's grown up so much.

Heehee!

It's nice to see you too!

Ah, you must be the one who's been aching to see my dive.

Y-Yes, hello...!

My name is Kohane Azusawa. I'm on the same team as An!

W-We heard that you closed this place a long time ago, so thank you for being so kind as to show us around like this...!

I don't mind.

I've been coming here from time to time to keep it clean.

Wait, really?

Well, I'm going to have to hand this place over to someone at some point... Not only that...

I'm sure actually being here will help you remember that night better.

...

That night... Is she referring to RAD WEEKEND?

Probably.

Especially since this is where RAD WEEKEND happened.

It was probably the event she was looking for to cap off the history of this place.

(So RAD WEEKEND meant a lot to the owner of this venue as well...)

Alright, let's head inside.

Okay!

(It's really where RAD WEEKEND happened...

I have to absorb as much as I can...!)

I-It's so dark...!

Our eyes haven't adjusted yet since it's so bright out today.

Just don't slip and fall, alright?

He's right.

We need to watch where we walk.

Give me a second to turn on the floodlights.

Ah, here we go...

Wow...!

So this is where RAD WEEKEND happened...

It's so much smaller than I remember.

Probably because we were kids.

I'm guessing we were both a lot shorter back then.

Haha. That means we've grown up a lot since.

Still, the stage is literally right in front of us...

(An and Shinonome seem completely awestruck...)

(This is really it...)

<Whoa!

This is really the venue for RAD WEEKEND?!>

Eep...!

L-Len?!

Hm? What's up?

Um... N-Nothing!

<Len, you need to be quiet.>

<O-Oh, right...!>

Kohane? Is something... Ah...

<Hehe. We're here.

Sorry, we just couldn't wait.>

Hey, they'll see you if you keep jumping out like that. Wait until we give you the signal.

<Hehe. Okay, I'm sorry...

I'll be careful from now on.>

<We promise to stay hidden, so please let us see.>

I suppose you'll stay out of sight as long as you stay in Azusawa's pocket.

Yeah, I'll try to position myself so that you both can get a good look.

<Great!

Thanks, Kohane!>
