Now, I hope our negotiations today go well...

Me too! I'm gonna give you all the support I can, so let's do our best!

Hm? You sound rather energized, An.

I volunteered to do this, so I feel that I need to see to it properly.

(Also...)

I have a feeling that we're gonna get the green light today.

Same.
Especially since we have “that” ready this time.

Yeah, that's right!
After he sees that, I'm sure he'll...

Ah, sorry about the wait.

Hi! Long time no see!

I really wasn't expecting you to join him for this, An. However, don't think that I'm going easy on you just because we've known each other for a long time...

I know!
What's the point if we're not actually good enough, right?

Yes, my point exactly.

So, since you brought an additional negotiator this time, I have to believe that you have some new information for me.

Yes, we do. Remember how we discussed our second event last time? It was called “JET”.

Ah, yes...
I've been hearing good things about that.

In particular, my regulars have been raving about the new song An and her team performed at the start.

My teammate, Toya, wrote it.
It was actually the first time we performed one of his songs.

The first time...?

Yeah! He'd written a few up until then, but he wasn't happy with any of them. As a result, we never got a chance to sing them.

But he's a classically trained musician, so he has an amazing feel for music!

I got goosebumps just after hearing the demo for that song!

It was so well made that we actually ended up shuffling around our set list to accommodate it.

Interesting... Then, I'd very much like to see what this second event of yours was like.

You brought a video of it today, no?

Oh, was it that obvious?

You did hint at it quite a bit.
Anyway, you can pop it in over there.

Thanks! We'll do that right now!

...

...

(I've listened to it a bunch of times already, but Toya really did write an amazing song. The owner's also watching really intently...)

Do you think we should make a bigger point of the songs we chose or how everyone performed and stuff?

Hmm...

...

No...
I think just letting him watch what happened will be quicker.

Okay...!

Okay.
Is that it?

Y-Yeah! Thanks for watching it.

(Oh no, he doesn't look all that impressed... So he wasn't totally moved by what he just saw?!)

(Hey, Arata, we might be in trouble!)

(Don't worry. There's no need to fret.)

So, what did you think...?

When...?

Huh...?

Your event. When do you want to do it?

Wait, does that mean...?!

See? We're fine.

...!

Yay! We did it♪

Now, we have a lot to discuss, so let's get down to business.

Okay!

(We did it, you guys!
We get to perform at Crawl Green...!)

(Just wait!
We'll be right there with the good news!)
