Miku
Right, here's the pancakes you ordered. Whipped cream for An and Kohane, and extra fruit for Akito. For Toya, a grilled cheese sandwich——and, that's everything.
Kohane
Thank you very much, Miku-san, MEIKO-san!
An
Let's dig in! ——Mm, it's so goooood! I can feel my exhaustion flying away!
MEIKO
What were you all doing today?
Kohane
Today we all went to Crawl Green to have a meeting for our next event.
Luka
Eh? Crawl Green, isn't that the place where Akito-kun——
Akito
Yeah, that's it. It's the place I told you about before.
Akito
It's not a place people can perform at very often, but thanks to An and the others' negotiation going well, we were able to get permission to do an event there.
Luka
Ohhh~ so that's what it was!
Miku
And apparently An's dad and Taiga-san, the person who's teaching Kohane to sing, are gonna come watch their next event.
Luka
E-Ehhh~!? He and An-chan's dad are!?
Len
Not only that, but Kohane's gonna do the opening act solo!
Luka
...S-So much happened while I was away...
Luka
But, why is Kohane-chan doing that?
Kohane
Taiga-san said that if I do a solo at an event we put on ourselves, as I am now, I should be able to figure something out.
Luka
I see... Then, this'll be an important event for everybody, not just Akito-kun!
Kohane
Yeah!
Toya
——With that said, I'm glad Shiraishi invited us today.
Toya
After actually seeing it for myself, I've begun to understand why everyone looks up to that live house so much.
Toya
The equipment is good, and the venue is spacious. And more than that...I could feel that the owner's passion for music is very strong.
An
Yeah, you're right. I had no idea he thought of Dad and the others like that.
Miku
Huh, What kind of stuff did you hear?
An
Uh, let's see, it was stories from Uncle Taiga's past——
Miku
——I see. He's proud of the event that RADder put on, huh...
An
Yeah. ...But I really am sorry, Kohane. The owner put so much pressure on you...
Kohane
Ehehe. I told you it was fine already, An-chan.
MEIKO
Did something happen?
Kohane
Ah, before we went to Crawl Green, An-chan and I had fun in town.
An
Yeah! Kohane's been working super hard at practice for a while, so I thought it might be a nice change of pace.
MEIKO
Oh, is that so. And, did you two have a nice date?
Kohane
Yes, it was a lot of fun! ——But...
Kohane
Today, after walking around town with An-chan, and listening to Crawl Green owner-san's stories, I was thinking.
Kohane
The people of this town have been watching over both Taiga-san and An-chan since they were really little...
Kohane
I thought that was really nice——
