There she is! Hey, Rin!
Hey, Len! What's up?
You're about to go practice, right? I wanna go too!
Aren't we supposed to practice on our own today?
Y-Yeah, I know, but...!
There's this part I want to work on with you...
I have stuff that I need to work on too, you know?
Uh... But...
Do you have to work on it all by yourself...?
Today? Kind of...
More importantly, is something bothering you, Len?
M-Me?! N-No, there's really only this part that I want to work on with you.
So when we do practice together, promise that we'll focus on that...!
Yeah, I promise!
See you later...
*Sigh*
(What am I doing...?)
You were so good just now too, Kohane! You shined throughout that entire song!
I'm so jealous of you, An!
I wish I could sing with Kohane as her partner!
(Why'd she say that...?)
*Sigh*
Oh, hi there.
...
Hm? Len?
What's wrong?
A cream soda...
That's not what I meant, but sure...
...
Is something getting you down...?
Can't you see...?
(I couldn't focus at all during practice.)
Alright, here's your cream soda.
So what happened?
Are you having another fight?
No, it's not that.
But...
Oh...
Is what Rin said about wanting to sing with Kohane bothering you?
...
Bullseye...
*Sob*
Yeah, Kohane's performance was unbelievable...
But I'm her partner, aren't I?!
I even asked her just a little while ago to practice with me, but she told me that she wanted to practice alone!
If one partner says they want to sing together, shouldn't the other one grant their wish?!
Len, please try not to spill your cream soda...
Here, have some ice cream and try to settle down.
...
Hey, wait, I didn't mean you can have all of it...
Sh-Shooo... C-Cooold...!!
Oh, you. Always causing mischief.
B-But...!
Anyway, just try to calm down.
I really don't think Rin meant anything by what she said.
I get that, but still...
So you do understand...?
If that's the case, all you need to do is make up your mind.
Huh...?
You said that you weren't trying to puff your chest out that time, but it's clear that Rin means a lot to you, Len. Enough to make you feel the way you do now.
Yeah...
Then, I don't see anything wrong with what you did. Do you?
I mean, I looked like an idiot... It was so embarrassing...
Hmm...
You want to be the best partner you can, right? Are you going to let something like that get in your way?
...
R-Right... Okay...
My mind's made up...!
I'm gonna try to be the best partner Rin's ever had!
Kohane became an incredible singer after practicing really hard, so I'm gonna do that too! Can you help me with that, Miku?!
Sure, but it won't be easy.
I know!
Alright, let's do this!!
