Kohane

Listen

Thank you too, An.

Kohane

Listen

Like we talked about in SEKAI, I'll try doing what I can to have more confidence in myself!
5
Great! I'll try coming up with some ideas that can help you out too!
6
For now, I'll see you tomorrow!
7

Kohane

Listen

Okay, see you tomorrow!

Kohane

Listen

(It's already this late.
I need to get home soon...)
9

Kohane

Listen

(But still, so much happened today.)

10

A Mysterious Man

Listen

Well...
I'd say you're lacking...
11

A Mysterious Man

Listen

Commitment.
12
This is just my guess...
But I think he meant that you need to be more confident in yourself.
13

Toya

Listen

Yes. You have this incredible talent for singing, Azusawa, but haven't fully realized it yet.
14

Toya

Listen

I believe that's what that person meant by what they said.
15

Kohane

Listen

(Commitment and confidence...)
16

Kohane

Listen

(Until I decided to ask everyone about it, I couldn't figure out what that person meant...)
17

Kohane

Listen

(Is my lack of confidence also a part of why that happened?)
18

Kohane

Listen

(But...)

19

Akito

Listen

In the beginning, I thought us not having enough confidence in ourselves was our biggest weakness...
20

Akito

Listen

But I'm starting to think that it might actually be our biggest strength now.
21

Kohane

Listen

(I knew even before this that not having that sort of confidence wasn't a good thing...)
22

Kohane

Listen

(But I really appreciate how Shinonome went out of his way to say what he meant.)

Musician A

Hey, nice work earlier.

24

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
25

Kohane

Listen

(Oh, it's one of the other teams from today's event!)
26

Kohane

Listen

(N-Nice work?! All I did was greet everyone and...!)

Musician B

Hey, don't tease her like that.
You're scarin' the poor thing.
28

Musician C

Sorry about that. They still haven't gotten over losin' to you yet is all.
29

Kohane

Listen

O-Okay...
30

Kohane

Listen

(Wait, when I met them, I think they said they were high schoolers too. But they seem much older than me...)
31

Musician B

But we've been hearin' all about you, Little Miss Diva! I get why you joined up with Akito and his crew.
32

Kohane

Listen

Huh?! I'm still nowhere near as good as them, really...
33

Musician B

Haha! Then we're really in trouble, huh? Looks like we still got a looong way to go!
34

Kohane

Listen

Oh no!
I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it that way...!
35

Musician C

You're really as modest as everyone's been sayin'...
36

Musician A

...
37

Musician B

What did I say about teasin' her?!
But there is somethin' I wanna ask you.
38

Kohane

Listen

Ask me?
39

Musician B

Yeah. We tried to get a hold of you after the event, but this one got all depressed over the results...
40

Musician A

Dude, shut up! She doesn't have to know that!
41

Musician A

What I'm tryin' to ask is, what sort of stuff do you work on every day...?
42

Kohane

Listen

You mean, how do I practice?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

43

Musician A

Yeah. I heard you started singin' just a little while ago. What did you do to get this good this fast?
44

Kohane

Listen

An, Shinonome and Aoyagi all show me what to do during practices...
45

Kohane

Listen

Um, here's a sample of what we've been working on. It's all handwritten, so I apologize if it's not completely legible...

46

Musician C

You sure?
47

Kohane

Listen

Huh? Yes, of course. At least, I think it's okay...
48

Musician C

Then if you don't mind...!
You guys work on fundamentals and stuff more than I expected.
49

Kohane

Listen

Yes, we do. But that's just what we usually do on our own. The other side has what we do day to day.
50

Musician B

The other side? Oh whoa, it's different each day...

Sound Effect: Play

51

Musician A

This is about what we really need to be doin', huh?
52

Musician A

But can you tell me this? What percentage of your time do you spend practicin' alone?
53

Kohane

Listen

What percentage? Oh, I'm sorry. I should've made that clear from the start...!
54

Kohane

Listen

We do everything on the front every day and everything listed for each day on the back.
55

Musician B

Wait, hold up!
You do everything on the front every single day?!
56

Kohane

Listen

Y-Yes, we do...!
57

Musician A

And your teammates do about the same..?
58

Kohane

Listen

Not quite.
Shinonome practices even more than I do. I believe Aoyagi does as well.
59

Kohane

Listen

An has to help out at home, so she ends up practicing about as much as I do...
60

Kohane

Listen

I'd actually like to do more, but they told me to start with this and see how things go from there...
61

Musicians

...
62

Kohane

Listen

I-Is something wrong...?
63

Musician A

We weren't takin' this seriously enough at all...
64

Musician B

Yeah. This was an eye-opener.
65

Musician C

It was.
66

Musician A

You said your name is Azusawa, right? I'm glad we got a chance to talk to you...
67

Musician A

We ain't losin'... No, we aren't going to lose next time. Not to you or Vivid BAD SQUAD.
68

Kohane

Listen

Of course!
And we'll be waiting for you!

Sound Effect: Play

69

Kohane

Listen

Phew...
They really took me by surprise there.
70

Kohane

Listen

(But I could tell that they're trying to go as high as they possibly can too.)
71

Kohane

Listen

(Their performance was also really good, so I should keep them in mind moving forward.)
72

Kohane

Listen

Oh, they were so surprised by how much we practice too...
73

Kohane

Listen

(I never actually thought about it since I was so obsessed with trying to catch up to An and the others...)
74

Kohane

Listen

(But that does also sound like I'm suffering from tunnel vision.)
75

Kohane

Listen

If we're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND as a team, I need to figure out how to broaden my horizons and have more confidence in myself.
