—And that's what happened!
Rin & Kohane
Wooow~!
Rin
Nagi-san, she's so cool~! She's like a hero, coming all the way to a construction site to find you!
Kohane
Yeah...! She seems like a wonderful and reliable person...!
Toya
You're right. I feel like I've been able to grasp her character better, now that you've told us this.
Akito
Yeah. She sounds like a capable person, exactly what you'd expect from someone who teamed up with Ken-san and Taiga-san.
KAITO
But...I bet the An-chan from back then never even imagined she'd one day be enrolled in the school she snuck into.
Luka
Speaking of which, I'd heard that you didn't like ghosts, but, could that have been because of this?
An
Ah— Well, we don't need to focus on that!
Luka
Fufu, well, I guess you're right~ Let's talk more about that in detail later!
An
We don't have to talk about that in detai! C'mon...
Miku
Anyways, I'm glad I got to learn more about Nagi-san's personality.
Miku
I learned that she's a person that's pretty similar to An.
An
Eh, to me!?
An
Y-you really think so...? I think Nagi-san's way cooler than me...
Miku
At the very least, she had a strong influence on you, yeah? At least, that's what I think.
An
An influence, huh...I guess that's true.
An
I feel like the feeling of wanting to be as cool as Nagi-san is what lead me to this point—
An
And above all, I was able to realize just how much I love everyone in town, thanks to Nagi-san.
An
And also...it led me to want to love everyone even more.
Akito
The town...
Akito
Town—huh.
Toya
Ah...
Kohane
Is something wrong, you two?
Akito
Nah...I was just thinking that the last time we spoke to Touno, that word came up.
An
That word, meaning...?
Toya
Apparently, when Touno-san lost that match to Taiga-san, he was told—
Toya
To "look at this town".
Len
Look at this town...? What's that supposed to mean?
Akito
Apparently even Touno doesn't know that. We thought about it too, but we came up empty...
An
Uncle Taiga said something like that to Arata? Town...town, huh...
Kohane
Ah...! While I was practicing, Taiga-san said I should look at the town too...!
Akito
Wait, really?
Kohane
Yeah. We ended up walking all over Vivid Street.
