Cut it out, you guys!

Boy Rapper A

Shut up!

3
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Stay outta this! Or I'll make you eat dirt!!

4
Character icon
Onlookers

Guys, calm down!

5
Character icon
Little An

Whoa!

They're both so angry...!

6
Character icon
Taiga

Yeah, geez...

It's pretty early to be this riled up.

7
Character icon
Nagi

I don't recognize either of them, and they seem awfully young.

8
Character icon
Nagi

Wait, I remember someone saying how there's a new MC battle event taking place today...

9
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Hey, take back what you just said!

10
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

What's wrong with calling you what you are?! An amateur!

11
Character icon
Little An

Oh no! Th-This looks bad...!

12
Character icon
Taiga

At this rate, they'll be trading punches in no time.

13
Character icon
Nagi

And they look big for their age.

The staff won't have an easy time breaking them up.

14
Character icon
Nagi

I'm gonna go talk to them.

15
Character icon
Taiga

Sure.

16
Character icon
Little An

Wait, what's she gonna do?!

Aunt Nagi!

17
Character icon
Nagi

Sorry, everyone.

Mind letting me through?

18
Character icon
Onlookers

Hm? Isn't that...? Nagi?!

19
Character icon
Nagi

Honestly, fighting in broad daylight.

What exactly happened here?

20
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

What's it to you, hag?! Don't interrupt!

21
Character icon
Nagi

Hmm... You'd think rappers would choose better words, no? I mean, “hag” and “interrupt” don't really rhyme.

22
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Huh? You making fun of me, lady?

23
Character icon
Little An

Uncle Taiga, is she gonna be okay...?!

They're so much bigger than her!

24
Character icon
Taiga

Relax. This is nothing for her.

25
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

You've got nothing to do with this, so stay out of our way!

26
Character icon
Nagi

Actually, I have everything to do with this. My prized pupil's trying to sing here, so I'd prefer it if you didn't cause such a big commotion.

27
Character icon
Nagi

From what I can tell, it sounds like you aren't happy with how your battle was judged and decided to choose the worst option by picking a fight. Did I miss anything?

28
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Grr...!

29
Character icon
Nagi

Aha, bullseye.

Hmm... You in the cap. I take it you started it?

30
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Don't blame me!

Blame the judge!

31
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Who in their right mind thinks that I lost to that crappy flow?!

32
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

What?!

33
Character icon
Nagi

Settle down.

Or is it too late to get you two to cool off...?

34
Character icon
Nagi

Alright, why don't you have a rematch right here...?

35
Character icon
Boy Rappers A & B

Huh?

36
Character icon
Nagi

Don't give me that look.

Rappers should be ready to throw down whenever, right?

37
Character icon
Nagi

And I'll be the judge this time.

You all want to hear them sing, right?!

38
Character icon
Nagi

So, what do you two say? You're not about to turn tail and run in front of all these people... Are you?

39
Character icon
Boy Rappers A & B

...!

40
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Of course not!

Just who do you think I am?!

41
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

You're going down! Again!

42
Character icon
Nagi

Alright, let's get started!

Do you know what you're going to sing?

43
Character icon
Live House Staff

Y-Yeah...!

44
Character icon
Nagi

Okay, show us what you've got!!

45
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Grr...!

I'm not letting you have this!

46
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Says you!

47
Character icon
Little An

Haha!

You've both got this!

48
Character icon
Taiga

Nagi, go easy on them.

I mean, the police might not intervene at this time of day, but...

49
Character icon
Nagi

I know! Don't worry!

♪——! ——! ——————!

51
Character icon
Nagi

Hey, that verse was great!

You weren't very eloquent during that fight just now, so it's refreshing to hear that you have a good vocabulary.

52
Character icon
Little An

This is awesome!

Well, maybe not as awesome as Aunt Nagi♪

53
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Next, my turn! Get ready!

54
Character icon
Boy Rappers A & B

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

55
Character icon
Nagi

You both did great!

But I think we have to call it a draw.

56
Character icon
Nagi

However, if you're still not satisfied, would you like to do another round?

57
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

A-After a quick breather...!

58
Character icon
Onlooker A

Then, let us do a battle in the meantime!

59
Character icon
Onlooker B

Hey, that sounds fun! Let's go!

60
Character icon
Little An

Aunt Nagi, I wanna do a battle too!

61
Character icon
Nagi

Okay, how about we do one?

62
Character icon
Little An

Really?! Yay!

63
Character icon
Taiga

After causing such a big stir too... But I guess kids will be kids. Anyway, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

64
Character icon
An's Father

Hm? Isn't that...?

65
Character icon
Nagi

And the winner is... Taiga!

66
Character icon
Little An

Uncle Taiga was so awesome! And super cool!

67
Character icon
Nagi

You ended up joining in on the fun after saying that you'd just sit back and watch things unfold.

68
Character icon
Taiga

My plan was to spice things up a little, but maybe I went a bit overboard.

69
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

That old dude's way too good at rapping! What's going on here?!

70
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Same with the people from the crowd that jumped in partway through...! Even that little kid was totally off the hook!

71
Character icon
Taiga

Just where exactly do you think you are right now? This is Vivid Street. Rapping and singing are how we greet each other around here.

72
Character icon
Taiga

But if you've learned your lesson, quit fighting like knuckleheads and get good.

73
Character icon
Nagi

Exactly.

You can win as long as you get the crowd going!

74
Character icon
Nagi

I mean, you're both doing this because you love it, right?

75
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

W-Well...

76
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Yeah... We are...

77
Character icon
An's Father

(They stopped another fight...?

Honestly, don't they ever get tired of doing that? Still...)

78
Character icon
Little An

Hey, can we go again?!

I think I can do better this time!

79
Character icon
Nagi

Okay!

Let's do another one together!

80
Character icon
Little An

Yeah!

I'll start!

Character icon
Little An

82
Character icon
An's Father

(I guess it isn't all bad since An looks like she's having fun.)

83
Character icon
An's Father

Hey, Nagi, Taiga!

84
Character icon
Little An

Hi, Daddy!

85
Character icon
Nagi

Oh, you're finally here.

You came so late that you missed our little event.

86
Character icon
An's Father

Sorry about that.

But you decided to put on an event before our actual one?

87
Character icon
Little An

What's wrong with that?!

It's not like we get to hear RADder rap every day!

88
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Wait, RADder...? You guys are RADder...?!

89
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

W-We're so sorry...!!

We had no idea who we'd been talking to...!!

90
Character icon
Taiga

Don't apologize to us. You should be telling that to everyone from the live house and all the other participants.

91
Character icon
Boy Rapper A

Oh, right...

Yes, we'll do that...

92
Character icon
Boy Rapper B

Again, we're sorry for causing so much trouble...

93
Character icon
Nagi

Yeah, it is important to assert yourself sometimes, but it's just as important to keep a cool head.

94
Character icon
Nagi

Still, all jokes aside, you two weren't bad, and you're taking things seriously enough to fight about it.

95
Character icon
Nagi

So, we'll be looking forward to seeing how you both do moving forward!

96
Character icon
Boy Rappers A & B

Th-Thank you...!

97
Character icon
Little An

Hehe.

I'm really glad they stopped fighting!

98
Character icon
An's Father

Me too.

Also, An, your rapping has improved a lot. Practicing every day is really starting to pay off.

99
Character icon
Little An

I know, right?!

Hold on. More importantly...!

100
Character icon
Little An

Daddy, where were you?!

You said you'd watch me practice, but it's already noon!

101
Character icon
An's Father

Yeah, sorry about that...

Things sort of just dragged on.

102
Character icon
An's Father

But I promise to watch you practice tomorrow morning. It's Sunday, so I should be able to stay with you until noon.

103
Character icon
Little An

Wait, really?

104
Character icon
An's Father

Yeah. And to make up for what happened, you can sit in the VIP section during today's event.

105
Character icon
Little An

Whoa! Are you sure?!

106
Character icon
An's Father

Yes, there's going to be an opening it seems and the manager personally requested you fill that seat.

107
Character icon
Little An

Woohoo!!

Thank you so much, Daddy!

108
Character icon
An's Father

You're welcome. Anyway, let's get going.
