Spectator B

Wait, that girl...
Isn't she in the same group as Ken's daughter?
4

Spectator A

Yeah, that's right.
She has also been doing solo events lately.
5

Spectator B

Cool!
She's definitely getting better each time too!

Kohane

Listen

Phew... I'm glad tonight went well too...
7

Kohane

Listen

(I was really nervous and my voice was so shaky when I started doing events on my own...)
8

Kohane

Listen

(But now I feel like I can sing just as well as when I'm with An and the others.)
9

Kohane

Listen

They've been itching to have a go at another battle event, so I've gotta keep gaining more experience too!

Um... Dad?

Kohane

Listen

Sigh...
14

Minori

Listen

Sorry to keep you waiting, Kohane!
And thanks for coming all this way!
15

Kohane

Listen

Oh, no. I should be thanking you.
Having you see me while you're working...
16

Minori

Listen

Don't worry about it. We don't get many customers this early and I'm on a break now anyway.
17

Minori

Listen

But what did you mean when you said you want to talk about something urgently?
18

Kohane

Listen

So here's the thing...
19

Minori

Listen

What?! Your parents told you to stop doing gigs?!
20

Kohane

Listen

Yes. One of my mom's friends saw me going into a live house alone the other day...
21

Kohane

Listen

And my dad and mom told me to stop visiting dangerous places like that...
22

Minori

Listen

Wait, why were you alone? Don't you sing with your friends from Kamiyama?
23

Kohane

Listen

Most of the time, yes. But I've been going solo lately to gain more experience.
24

Minori

Listen

Wow, really?! That's awesome!
25

Minori

Listen

I mean, you're working so hard.
How come your parents are against it?
26

Minori

Listen

Didn't they know from the start that you've been performing in live houses?
27

Kohane

Listen

They did. But I didn't tell them that I'd also be going alone sometimes.
28

Kohane

Listen

And that's probably what made them really worried.
29

Minori

Listen

I guess some people still believe that live houses are dangerous places where shady people hang out...
30

Kohane

Listen

...
31

Kohane

Listen

Up until now, my parents were always supportive of whatever I've wanted to do...
32

Kohane

Listen

And suddenly...
33

Minori

Listen

That would be a big shock...
34

Minori

Listen

I'd be crushed too if my parents told me to stop being an idol...
35

Minori

Listen

Oh... Have you talked about this with your friends yet?
36

Kohane

Listen

No, not yet...
37

Kohane

Listen

They've helped me out so much already...
I don't really want to drop this on them too...
38

Kohane

Listen

I'm so worried that I may not be able to sing with them anymore...
39

Minori

Listen

Kohane...
40

Minori

Listen

You know what, I think you should talk to them about this!
41

Kohane

Listen

Wait... B-But...
42

Minori

Listen

Kohane...
You've talked to me about your friends before...
43

Minori

Listen

And from what you've said, it sounds like you really like singing with them, and they care about you as much as you do about them.
44

Kohane

Listen

That's...

45

Kohane

Listen

That's true...
46

Minori

Listen

I understand that you don't want to worry your group, but I really think you should talk to them about it.
47

Minori

Listen

You're a team, right?
48

Kohane

Listen

...
49

Kohane

Listen

You're right. I hate being a nuisance but...
I'll talk to An and the others about it.

Minori

Listen

Great!
51

Kohane

Listen

Thank you for hearing me out, Minori.
52

Minori

Listen

Hehehe. You're very welcome!
53

Kohane

Listen

Oh, are you still okay for your break?
54

Minori

Listen

Huh? It's okay, I still have some time!
55

Kohane

Listen

Then want to have some of this parfait?
I remember you mentioning that you like
the macarons and cream that come with it.
56

Minori

Listen

Whaaat?! But you ordered it for yourself. I can't...
57

Kohane

Listen

You lent me an ear, so I want to treat you.
Here, have some!
58

Minori

Listen

A-Are you really sure?!
In that case, if you don't mind...!
59

Minori

Listen

Mmm! Yum!
Thanks, Kohane!
60

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Thanks for being there for me, Minori!
