Phew... Thank goodness we got here on time.
I really appreciate you coming with me all this way, An!
No problem! I was actually only going to go for part of the way, but with all the talking we've done, I ended up coming all this way.
Anyway, I've been meaning to pop in and say hi since it's been a little while. So, it all worked out!
Welcome.
Oh, An, you're here too.
Hello!
Heya!
Glad to see that you're doing okay!
Hm? That sounded like An's voice...
Huh? Oh, you're from RUST!
Hey, An.
Oh, and you're from GLaP day!
Long time no see!
Yeah, you're all grown up now.
Actually, you're really starting to resemble your mom.
Well, we haven't seen each other since RAD WEEKEND, right? I've grown a lot since then.
In any case, it's nice to see your smiling face.
Oh, more importantly, I heard that you're all battling against Kohane.
That's right. We're playing that game we used to with Nagi, Ken and everyone else.
Hmm... I see...
You guys better be ready!
Kohane's gonna wipe the floor clean with all of you!
What?! An!
Oh? That's big talk.
You got any proof that she's going to beat us?
Of course I do!
First, the way Kohane sings really makes your heart race, am I right?
When I first met her, I thought, “Her! She has to become my partner!” She's the only one who's ever made me feel that way.
Also, she's got this way of exploding when the chips are down! I mean, during this event we did the other day...
Listen to her.
Nagi used to praise her in the exact same way.
Yeah, I wish Nagi were here to see this.
Huh? Did you guys just say something?
Don't mind us.
Also, you may want to hold your horses there.
Your partner's face is turning red.
Huh?
Oh no! I-I'm really sorry, Kohane!
I just wanted everyone to know just how great you are...
No, that's okay. I'm a little embarrassed, but also really happy.
I promise to do my absolute best to not disappoint you, An!
...!
Yes, that's what I like to hear!
But it isn't going to be that easy.
We don't care that she's your partner, An. We're not holding back against her.
Oh yeah?
Well, don't come crying to me when she clobbers all of you!
So, Kohane, show no mercy!
O-Okay!
(Kohane really is an amazing singer...)
(Which is why I also need to do my best...!)
Alright, I'm gonna go practice!
I still have my own task to complete.
So, Kohane, good luck!
I know it's not gonna be easy, but let's do our best together!
Right...!
Thanks, An!
