(More time, huh...?)

(I gave it a lot of thought, and this seems to be my only option...)

Then, Akito, let's do our best again today.

Yes, let's.

Um... Would we be able to chat for a minute after my shift?

Hm? Yes, of course.

Thank you very much.

(For now, I have a job to do...)

Hello.

Are you interested in this jacket?

Yeah, I was looking for something that goes well with a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Do you have any particular fabrics or designs in mind, or any colors or anything? We have a fairly wide selection here.

Oh, I'm not really the fashion-conscious type... The clothes I usually get sort of all look the same, you know?

So, could you help me pick out an outfit?

Of course. Then...

(Based on what he's wearing now, I doubt he'd usually go for clothing with printed patterns. But he also said he wants something different from his usual repertoire...)

How about something with a patterned inner lining?

We also have some interesting shirts that aren't too flashy.

You do?! Then, I'd like to try both of those!

Thank you very much. I'll bring them over now.

Nice work today, Akito.

Your work ethic and customer service skills are always a huge help around here.

Oh...

Thank you very much...

Um, so...

Do you have a minute to talk?

Oh, that's right! You asked earlier if we could chat! Now should be fine since we don't have any customers at the moment.

...

So, I need to leave this job.

...!

Would you mind telling me why...?

I need to invest more time into practicing.

I see...

I'd heard rumors that you and your friends battled against Taiga...

And how you heard about what happened to Nagi...

So, you also knew what RAD WEEKEND was actually about...?

Yes...

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could've told you...

I'm not sure what An would say, but I won't hold that against you...

I want to say that I understand just how big an influence Nagi had on this town.

And...

Our dream hasn't changed.

We're going to find a way to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

...!

Right...

You said that you need more time to practice. Do you and your team already have a plan in mind?

No, not yet... But we also need time to figure that out, which is why I'm doing this now...

Understood.

Then, this can be your last day.

What?

Wait, I thought I had to give you a few days.

Under normal circumstances. But I'm making a special exception as your manager.

Are you sure?

Yes... This may be shameless of me to say, but I am rooting for you guys...

Boss...

We absolutely promise to put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND.

Thank you for letting me work here.

Thank you for being such a wonderful employee. It was fun while it lasted. Be sure to drop by as a customer from time to time, okay?

I will!
