We practiced singing for much longer than I was expecting.
Get home safe, okay, you guys?
You especially, Kohane, since you're such a cutie.
Wah! A-An, I'll be fine.
Anyway, see you all tomorrow.
Bye!
Okay.
See you!
What's with Akito?
We're all headed the same way, aren't we? Why's he not coming with us?
I suspect that he wants to run all the way home...
Wait, seriously...?
Haha. That's Akito for you.
Th-The rest of us are all just walking home, right?
Yes, that's the plan.
Anyway, you guys look after Kohane for me.
Oh, An...
*Sigh*
I feel more tired than usual today. I was only planning on placing a reservation for my little brother's Christmas present too.
Well, quite a lot did happen.
Yeah...
Shinonome in particular had a very busy day.
Also... That story about Crawl Green really took me by surprise.
Me too... I had no idea that such a thing happened before we formed our team.
So you guys heard...
(When I started singing here, I remember Shinonome being such a good singer who knew how to get an audience going...)
(But he must've practiced so much in order to attain that ability... He must've suffered so much...)
Oh... Maybe that's why...
Azusawa...?
So... I was reminded of something he said when I first started singing with An.
And you're saying practicing hard is the same thing as having resolve? Don't make me laugh!
We're absolutely serious. We're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Can you say the same thing, shrimp?
The music world isn't a place you can just come waltzing into like you're on some field trip.
Whoa...
He really said that?
When Azusawa performed in her very first event...
I apologize for what happened that time. I wish I could've stopped him somehow...
Hold up...! I remember now! That was when the plug literally got pulled on you and the whole event got ruined, right?!
Which means it was actually my fault. I'm so sorry for what happened!
N-No, that's okay...!
It doesn't bother me at all anymore.
Also, Shinonome wasn't wrong about what he said...
What...?
Back then, I definitely didn't fully comprehend what it meant to surpass RAD WEEKEND or what it would actually take.
What he said shocked me, and I thought I wasn't good enough...
But if he hadn't said that, I probably wouldn't have taken a hard look at what I was doing. Singing and chasing after the same dream as An...
Azusawa...
And just now I realized something...
I have a feeling that Shinonome said what he said to me because he knew what it meant to sing here. He knew better than anyone else how you need to be determined to succeed.
Which is why I think...
It was his way of being kind...
I'm not sure about that...
I may be wrong, but he doesn't seem like that nice a person.
Akito did get very emotional that time.
However, what he told us about today may be at the source of why he said what he said.
This place has come to accept us, but it's also constantly testing our abilities.
Right...
Still...
I decided to sing here.
Yes, I as well.
Same here! So, let's all surpass RAD WEEKEND together!
Yeah!
Yes.
