An's Father

Listen

Welcome... Oh, it's you.
2

Taiga

Listen

Hey, is that any way to treat a customer?
3

An's Father

Listen

Alright, my loyal patron.
What would you like?
4

Taiga

Listen

Whiskey...is what I want to say, but I'll have a coffee. Hot.
5

An's Father

Listen

Yeah, yeah.
6

An

Listen

Hi, Uncle Taiga!
7

Toya

Listen

Hello.
8

Taiga

Listen

Hey, I didn't know you guys were here.

Akito

Listen

We just finished practicing, so we're here to take a break.
10

Taiga

Listen

You guys practice during your days off? Aren't you all hard-working!
11

An

Listen

Hey, we're not little kids anymore.
12

Taiga

Listen

What are you talking about? Of course you are.
13

Taiga

Listen

Either way, I definitely think you guys have more moxie than most people around here...
14

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Thank you.
15

An

Listen

Don't let him fool you, Kohane.
That's just his way of pulling one over on you.
16

Taiga

Listen

Hahaha! I'm serious.
17

An

Listen

Really...?
18

An

Listen

Oh, that reminds me. Some stuff came up and I ended up telling everyone about how I ran away when I was little...
19

Taiga

Listen

Oh, that story...?!
You really had the entire town in a panic that time.
20

An

Listen

Haha...
So, when I started looking back on what happened...

21

Nagi

Listen

This is where we met Ken. Things weren't easy back then since he and Taiga didn't really get along at first...
22

Nagi

Listen

But everyone around town thought that they were good rivals and helped stop them from fighting. As a result, they began to understand each other better.
23

Nagi

Listen

Without them, we probably wouldn't be a team right now...
24

Taiga

Listen

Nagi said that...?
25

An

Listen

Yeah. That really stuck out in my mind and kinda want to hear more about what you guys were like back then.
26

Akito

Listen

I'd like to know as well...
27

Toya

Listen

We're a team, so the possibility of us having strong disagreements isn't zero.
28

Kohane

Listen

I'd like to hear too.
Did you have conflicting ideas regarding your team's music?
29

Taiga

Listen

Yeah, we definitely had our fair share of disagreements when it came to how to interpret our music, the way we sang and whatnot...
30

An's Father

Listen

Pretty silly things in retrospect.
Also, here's your coffee.

31

Taiga

Listen

Hey, thanks.
32

Taiga

Listen

And yeah... A lot of our disagreements and fights were about the dumbest things...
33

Taiga

Listen

However, back then, we weren't willing to bend on some things because of our convictions.
34

An's Father

Listen

Our convictions, huh...?
I'm still not sure how to feel about that Hawaiian shirt of yours.
35

Akito

Listen

Hawaiian shirt?
36

An's Father

Listen

Yeah, he wore this unbelievably lame Hawaiian shirt one time to this really important event...
37

Taiga

Listen

Whoa, hold on. How many times do I have to tell you? That wasn't my idea... It was a gift from some people who helped me out, so I had no choice.
38

Taiga

Listen

The plan was to wear it during a big event and have them see me wearing it.
39

Taiga

Listen

And you're just as guilty.
I still clearly remember how you wore these pathetic-looking socks that day.
40

An's Father

Listen

Hey, I told you on more than one occasion that those were a part of my lucky outfit...
41

An

Listen

Wait, Dad, you had a lucky outfit?
What kind of socks were they?
42

An's Father

Listen

Oh, um...
43

Taiga

Listen

Oh, they were the kind of pair with a little design stitched into each sock.
44

Taiga

Listen

They had these cute, little glasses of cream soda embroidered into them, right?
45

Toya

Listen

Cream soda?
46

Taiga

Listen

That's right. Actually, they were...
47

An's Father

Listen

Whoa, stop right there!
48

Toya

Listen

Ken seems awfully flustered...
49

Akito

Listen

Now this is something we don't get to see every day.
50

An

Listen

Cream soda embroidery...? Wait, I've heard that before somewhere...
51

An

Listen

Oh, I remember now...!
Mom gave them to you for your birthday!
52

An's Father

Listen

An, how...?
That happened before we got married.
53

An

Listen

Hehe. I heard from Mom when I was little. We went out shopping together to get you a birthday present...

54

An's Mother

Before we were married, I gave your father socks this one time for his birthday.
55

Little An

Listen

Socks? Why?
56

An's Mother

He takes very good care of all the various outfits he wears during shows, including his flashy necklaces and such...
57

An's Mother

But he has a habit of losing individual socks because he doesn't show the same respect for them.
58

An's Mother

And he always ends up tossing the other from the pair, claiming that he can't wear them unless he has the matching set.
59

Little An

Listen

What?! Those poor socks!
60

An's Mother

Isn't it a shame? Which is why I figured that he'd take better care of them if he received a pair as a birthday present.
61

An's Mother

Hehe. Your father was in love with the cream soda this cafe in the neighborhood made, so I decided to get a pair with some glasses of them embroidered in.
62

Little An

Listen

Daddy likes cream soda?
I thought he only drank really bitter coffee.
63

An's Mother

That's true now, but he couldn't get enough of sweets and sugary drinks back then.
64

Little An

Listen

Really? And did he take good care of those cream soda socks you gave him?
65

An's Mother

Yes, very!
66

An

Listen

Right, Dad?
67

An's Father

Listen

Yes...
68

Kohane

Listen

That's such a beautiful story.
69

Toya

Listen

Yes, it is.
70

Taiga

Listen

Hahaha! But they still look terrible on you.
71

Taiga

Listen

I mean, you're so superstitious that you felt compelled to wear the socks that your then girlfriend got for you.
72

An's Father

Listen

Quiet, you...
73

An

Listen

Haha.
