Len, you're doing great!

Hehe! I've gotta keep up with Akito and Toya!

Okay! How about this?!

Hello, Len. You seem to be in high spirits.

Hey, KAITO! Did you come to watch?

Yes, since I'm the one who said that you should try pursuing this.

By the way, how has juggling practice been going?

Oh, right! Akito, actually, brought a soccer ball for Len to use and began practicing with it!

No problems there either! My record's up to 30 now!

Good for you!

But I didn't expect you to hit your stride this quickly, if I'm going to be honest. Maybe I should've come to check on you sooner.

Why?

Did you want to practice with me, KAITO?

Haha. Not quite. I was hoping to see your progress in real time is all.

My progress?

Yes. For example, learning to do something you couldn't do the day before. I like seeing those kinds of eureka moments.

Oh, I totally get that!

It's an amazing feeling when whoever you're helping figures something out!

I see.

That means you two might really like it if you learn about that other thing!

What other thing?

I'm actually thinking about trying something.

The dance I'm practicing right now is the same as the one Akito and Toya are gonna do during the festival they're gonna be in...

But I'm hoping to make a three-person version of it!

Oh, I remember you mentioning something like that at MEIKO's place.

Yeah, that!

But the problem is that Akito and Toya are performing for real during the festival, so what I'm doing sort of feels like something extra, you know...?

It does?

I'm sure they'll give both dances everything they have.

Yeah, I know they will...

But I sort of want them to focus more on their performance for the festival.

(I want them to be able to help out Akito's friend in their time of need.)

Anyway, that's why I've been thinking about making a version of this dance for three people.

But don't get me wrong. I'm giving it everything I have too!

Don't worry. I know you will.

By the way, have you thought about what kind of adjustments you'll be making...?

Yeah, I have a few ideas...

Wanna hear them?

Oh, I do! Tell us! Tell us!

Okay, since you're here, some feedback might be nice too!

I was thinking about trying...

So today, I want you guys to hear my ideas about making a three-person version of your dance!

I see. You even went through the trouble of asking Rin and KAITO for their feedback...

Thanks, Len.

Let's hear it.

Okay!

I was actually thinking about basing some moves on juggling a soccer ball!

Juggling a soccer ball?

Yeah! I can't really do any fancy tricks, but you still have to use all sorts of different leg muscles, right?

Right.

But when people juggle a bunch of soccer balls at the same time, it kinda looks like they're break dancing, doesn't it?

I even heard that competitions for doing tricks like that exist! Freestyle football or something...

Oh, yeah. That's true...

See what I mean?

That's why I thought it'd be cool to try something like that together!

Yeah, it could end up looking pretty cool as long as we fine-tune each step.

Okay, I'll bite.

This could be interesting.

I think so too.

Really?! Yay!

Hehe. Rin and KAITO actually helped me choreograph some of it too...

Someone came prepared.

Of course I did. Anyway, stand back and watch!

Okay, everyone ready?!

Yup. Let's do this.

Okay.

Weren't they amazing, An?!

They were good! Like really good!

Haha! Every other word you said just now is good, Kohane!

But I understand how you feel. The break dancing bit in the middle was so cool!

Len actually came up with that part.

He did?!

Len, that part was so good!

Thanks. Rin and KAITO helped me come up with that, but Akito and Toya said they wanted to try it, so I felt really good about it!

Still, you guys dancing at the Summer Festival was a pretty huge surprise too...

You guys thinking about doing flash mobs and stuff now?

No way. This was just a one-off thing.

But I think it'd be really cool to do something like this during one of our shows!

Len, you're grinning...

Because I pulled off something really cool with everyone.

Yes, I agree that it was a very good performance.

Me too! I'm sure the wise old master is also satisfied with this result, no?

Haha. I barely had anything to do with this. Len did this all on his own.

And I do also genuinely believe that it was a very good performance.

*Gasp*...!

Hehe. You should be proud of your star pupil!

Haha. Star pupil...?!

Hey, Akito, Toya!

Thanks for doing this with me!

It turned out to be super fun!

We had fun too, right, Toya?

Yes, we did. Let's try this again sometime.

Okay!
