Alright, that's everyone.
Let's get going.
Oh, sorry.
Before we do, Kohane and I need to tell you guys something.
Sure, what?
It's really important...
Kohane and I are fighting!
Huh?
I'm sorry, Shiraishi, Azusawa, but what do you mean...?
So, yesterday...
Phew...
I'm so glad Kohane and I did that battle today...
(I feel like we've become a lot more like Nagi and her team now. We're partners who are gonna keep pushing each other to become better.)
Come to think of it, they used to argue all the time. Over the littlest things too...
Actually, our team's never really had a serious fight. Not like those three...
(I mean, Kohane's just way too nice a person. I can't see her getting into a big argument with someone...)
(But it might be good for us to shout at each other for a change...)
(Arguing can sometimes help people find solutions to their problems. Like what I was dealing with until today!)
(Plus, they say the closer you are with someone, the more you fight!)
Alright.
My mind's made up, so it's time to let Kohane know.
So, in order for Kohane and me to become better partners, we're gonna try having a fight!
Which is why we need all of you to play along.
Also, don't worry about the event.
We'll stay focused on singing like always! Right, Kohane?!
Yeah.
Let's do our best, An!
I still don't really get what's going on, but... Suit yourselves.
Phew...
We all managed to put on the best performance we could today.
Yeah, and the crowd reacted to us pretty well. Let's try to achieve the same result tomorrow.
Yeah! Let's do it!
Oh, that reminds me.
This has nothing to do with the event...
But what's up with those two today? Are they...having a fight or something?
We're not sure either...
They basically just didn't talk in the car.
But they seemed more in sync than usual during the event. Was it the result of that?
I doubt it.
I mean, based on the performance they put on, they might've forgotten what they were fighting about...
Oh, Kohane! Nice job today!
Let's go grab some drinks together!
Huh?
We all did great today.
The crowd responded really well and... No, wait!
(I forgot that Kohane and I were supposed to go back to fighting when the event finished. I can't act like my usual self!)
I, uhh... What I meant was—
You go get a drink by yourself, An!
Oh...
H-Hmph!
Then, I'm not getting you anything!
I don't want one. Also, I didn't ask!
(Wh-Whoa... I'm not used to this salty Kohane...)
(I feel so conflicted...
What she's doing is really cute, but I don't like being on the receiving end...)
...
(I know we agreed to stop doing this at seven...)
(B-But I can't take it anymore...!
Yes, I suggested that we do this, but I'm starting to think that I should just apologize and—)
I...
I can't take it anymore!
All finished?
I'm so sorry, An!
I feel awful about ignoring you and saying those terrible things...
M-Me too...
I didn't mean for things to get so tense.
No, it was all my fault!
I really didn't know how to be mean and prickly...
Yeah, Azusawa, you weren't really all that scary.
But you definitely had an effect on Shiraishi.
Of course it did! Kohane's always so sweet and gentle! Seeing her not smile was painful...!
*Sigh*
It just goes to show that fighting isn't a good idea...
I'm glad we did this little test run.
Because now I don't want us to have another fight.
I already knew this...
But you mean way too much to me, Kohane.
Thanks...
You mean a lot to me too, An!
Alright, now that we've made up, let's go grab something to eat! There's so much I didn't get to talk to you about today...!
Same here...!
But we can do all the talking we want now!
