Our final rehearsal went pretty well.

Yeah, that was good! Wanna go take a break now?

I appreciate the offer, but I'd like to go check on my friend and the dance team first...

Sure, go for it! We'll see you later!

Okay.

Now then...

Stand more proudly! Be mindful of how you move your fingers as well! Imagine that each of your fingers has its own personality!

(Kamishiro's really giving it everything he has. Our entire team's morale seems good too, so we should be able to pull this off.)

(Now, how's Akito doing...?)

(Oh, wow... They're not looking bad themselves. I can't really complain...)

(I'm so glad that I asked Akito to do this...)

Very good. The dance team is coming along nicely.

Well, yeah. I wouldn't be showing you this if we weren't.

Hehe. Indeed.

Now, let us get some rest before the...

Excuse me. The bride said that she'd like to go over things one last time before everything begins. Is there anyone available for that?

Oh, yes... I'll be right there...!

Hm? Toya, what's up?

Oh, hi. My team just decided to take a quick break.

Then how about we go get some fresh air.

This breeze is nice

I'm glad it's so sunny out today. It's a perfect day for our little surprise.

But I'm pretty amazed that we got this much done in this little time.

I actually regretted saying yes to this when I saw the entire team for the first time.

Luckily, they're all pretty good at dancing and staying in rhythm, so it turned out to be pretty easy.

I suspect how Kamishiro decided what we'd all be doing helped make that happen too.

He even went through the trouble of asking each of us about our individual talents and experience.

Really? He did that with all of you guys...?

Yes. I've never done any acting before either, so choosing teams couldn't have been easy.

That's got nothing to do with you. He's the one that agreed to take over, so it's all on him.

Yes, I know. But...

(I think Akito has the wrong idea about Kamishiro...)

(He'd understand if he heard what I did back there from Kamishiro...)

...

Toya? Hey, Toya, you there?

Huh...?

...

You mad or something?

What...?

This was originally between me and Tsukasa. I guess I just don't feel that great about roping you into this so suddenly...

So...

Is that all...?

Dude, stop worrying so much.

In your case, you're almost too passive, you know?

But...

If you need help, just ask, but I'll say no when I want to. It's as simple as that.

Plus, not all dances or dancers are the same. I think asking for my help was a good call this time around.

And I have nothing against Kamishiro if that's what you're worried about.

I knew he was egging me on to join, so it's all good.

Akito...

Honestly, I just can't figure out what Kamishiro's thinking...

But I do know that he's serious about making all these people happy with his show.

I can't make fun of someone like that.

Oh...

(That's right. Akito's just...)

I feel like I'm being played by him...

But I said I'll help, so I'm giving it everything I've got. No ifs, ands or buts...

I see.

(I think I was the one getting the wrong idea...)

Akito, let's make sure this surprise succeeds.

Don't worry, we will!
