Classmate A

You always get so excited during lunch, An.

3
Character icon
An

Well, duh!

Unlike classes, lunch doesn't make me sleepy.

4
Character icon
Classmate B

An...

If you're not careful, your grades are gonna...

5
Character icon
An

Nope! Nope! Not listening!

6
Character icon
An

Anyway, I'm keeping up with what's going in class just fine right now! I'm not gonna fail any tests this year...!

7
Character icon
Classmate B

Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.

8
Character icon
An

Whoa, ice cold!

Do you have that little faith in me?

9
Character icon
Classmate A

I mean, An, you don't really study at home, right? You always go straight to practice after school.

10
Character icon
An

Yeah, it's just...

I need to focus on my singing right now.

11
Character icon
Classmate B

And your weekends are all booked too, right?

Did you go somewhere to perform yesterday?

12
Character icon
An

Yup!

We went to a live house in Shizuoka yesterday!

13
Character icon
Classmate B

What?! Shizuoka?!

No fair! That's like a real trip!

14
Character icon
Classmate A

Oh, did you bring back any souvenirs for us...?!

15
Character icon
An

Nope!

We didn't have time to buy any.

16
Character icon
An

And it's not like we did any sightseeing either. We mostly just looked at whatever we could see out the car.

17
Character icon
Classmate A

Wait, that's it?!

You guys went all the way to Shizuoka and didn't do any sightseeing?!

18
Character icon
An

Nope. We came up with a plan for the event on the drive over, performed, helped clean up and did a debrief on the drive back.

19
Character icon
Classmate A

You're really investing all your energy into singing, aren't you?

20
Character icon
Classmate A

Also, it's so nice of your dad to drive you guys to all these places! My dad would never do that for me!

21
Character icon
An

To be fair, my dad's the one who's been calling in favors to get these places to let us perform...

22
Character icon
Classmate B

Oh, I totally forgot.... Your dad used to be a pro, right?! That's so cool!

23
Character icon
Classmate B

I saw him by the school gate the other day. He's so good-looking!

24
Character icon
An

Whoa, stop right there!

Now I feel really embarrassed.

25
Character icon
Classmate B

Haha. Sorry, my bad!

But he really does seem like a cool dad.

26
Character icon
An

(As embarrassing as this is, it's not the worst...)

27
Character icon
An

(Come to think of it, I did used to think Dad was the coolest person in the world whenever I saw him performing on stage.)

28
Character icon
An

...

29
Character icon
An

If you guys are that interested, wanna see him performing in an event...?

30
Character icon
Classmate B

What?

31
Character icon
An

There aren't many, but some videos of him singing do exist.

32
Character icon
An

They're pretty old. We're talking about stuff from like twenty years ago. If you guys are interested, I could lend them to you...

33
Character icon
Classmate A

Wait, really?!

34
Character icon
Classmate B

I wanna see them!

35
Character icon
An

Okay.

Then, I'll bring some over sometime.

A week later
36
Character icon
An

...is what happened.

37
Character icon
Akito

What are you doing getting your classmates to swoon over your dad...?

38
Character icon
An

That wasn't my plan!

39
Character icon
An

I couldn't help it. I was just so happy that they were showing so much interest in him that...

40
Character icon
Akito

Anyway, how'd they react?

What did they think of RADder?

41
Character icon
An

Oh, about that!

You should've seen them.

42
Character icon
An

I was worried at first because of how old the video was, but Dad and his team still sounded amazing...

43
Character icon
Akito

I mean, this is RADder we're talking about.

44
Character icon
An

Yeah.

I know.

45
Character icon
An

We need to get to that level too.

46
Character icon
An

The same level as RADder. No, more!

47
Character icon
An

We have to get to the point where we've left them in the dust!

48
Character icon
Akito

You don't have to tell me that.

After all, our goal's to surpass their most intense moment.

49
Character icon
An

Right...! So, let's do our best again during practice today!
