(So this is what they're capable of.)
An's Father
(I thought it might be possible, but...)
An's Father
If there's anyone who could surpass that night, it'd be——

An's Father
...It's been three years since that night.
An's Father
(Me too——I've gotta do what I've gotta do.)
An's Father
(...When cafe hours end, I'll close up shop and head over to where they are.)
An's Father
(By the way Taiga's acting, it looks like he's not heading back without leaving a mark.)
An's Father
...That being said...
An's Father
Kids grow up so fast, don't they...Nagi?
Regular Customer
Hello, Ken-san! Wait, what're you looking so serious for?
An's Father
——Ahhh, I just had something on my mind, that's all. You having the usual?

Rin
Here! For Akito-kun and An-chan, a sandwich and a coffee~
Len
For Toya, cookies and coffee. And for Kohane, pancakes and black tea! Please enjoy!
Akito
This is...
Akito & An
It's pretty good.
Delicious!
Delicious!
An
Great job, Rin-chan! This mustard is handmade, right? It's got a zing to it, and it goes with the ham perfectly!
An
If you cook like this, I guess there's nothing to worry about if MEIKO-san leaves the cafe to you!
Akito
I guess you weren't lying when you promised it was good. You've proved me wrong.
Rin
Fufu~ of course~! I could do this in my sleep!
Toya
When I heard you were taking care of the cafe in MEIKO-san's stead, I was a little concerned. But it seems I had nothing to fear.
Toya
The coffee Len poured is also very delicious.
Kohane
Yeah! The pancakes were super sweet, it made my cheeks feel all tingly!
Len
Heh heh. Well, this is a cake walk~! Ask for it any time!
Rin
——And, after you finish this, we're watching it, right? The video of your third event!!
An
Ah...yeah!
Toya
In truth, I thought we would watch it when everybody was here...
Akito
Looks like MEIKO-san and the others are gonna be out for a while, so to say thanks for the meal, we'll let you see it ahead of schedule.
Rin & Len
Yaaay—!

Rin
Wah...! Kohane-chan, you solo was amazing!
Kohane
Ehehe...thank you!
Kohane
I was really nervous...but I was able to do my best because everybody sent me out.
Toya
Azusawa's singing on that day was truly incredible. I couldn't tear my eyes away.
Akito
True. ...It was good enough that I saw RAD WEEKEND for a second.
Kohane
Eh? Y-You mean like Nagi-san...!? That's taking it too far...!
Akito
Only a little bit. Don't take it the wrong way.
Akito
The point is, that's how good it was.
Kohane
Ah, thank you...!
An

An
(It really was an amazing song...)
An
(Kohane's trying to go even higher. ...No, she's actually getting closer to it.)
An
(To the peak, where Nagi-san is...)
An
(And me——?)
An
(No, that's wrong. I can't let myself think like that.)
An
(I...can go there too. Absolutely. We're gonna go together...!)

Rin
Kuuu~!! That seriously was an amazing event!!
Rin
When the four of you were singing the finisher, the energy skyyyrocketed ~ Man...it was greeeaaat!
Len
Your performance was the most lively it's ever been!
An
Hehe, thanks, you two!
Akito
We'll keep up the face for the next...no. We'll make our next event even hotter.
Kohane
Yeah, you're right! It looks like the people in town are really looking forward to our next event too...
Toya
Now that you mention it...ever since that event, the people in town have been calling out to me more often. How do I put it, it feels as though they've got high expectations for us...
An
Ah...yeah!
An
The old man at the record store said that too! He said that if it was us, we'd be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND, and that everyone's looking forward to it.
Kohane
Really? Ehehe...that makes me kinda happy to hear.
Akito
I'm glad we've got their attention. It'll really help us put our all into it.
Toya
Yes, let's not lower our guard and keep doing our best.
