Kohane

Listen

Hehe...
I'll need to do my best again today.
2

Akito

Listen

Hm? Oh, Kohane, you're here pretty early.
3

Kohane

Listen

Hi, Shinonome! I didn't realize you were already here.
4

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I was just having a quick practice with Ken.
5

Akito

Listen

By the way... You seem to be in an oddly good mood.
6

Kohane

Listen

Huh? Y-You think so?
7

Ken

Listen

Yes, it certainly seems that way at first glance. Did something good happen?
8

Kohane

Listen

Y-Yes...
I ran into the owner of Crawl Green just now and...
Several dozen minutes earlier

Kohane

Listen

(I left early in order to get in some practice this morning, but I got here a lot earlier than I was expecting...)
10

Kohane

Listen

(I know I shouldn't impose, but I'll see if I can use Weekend Garage...)
11

Kohane

Listen

(Shinonome and Aoyagi both did their parts, so I want to make sure their efforts don't go to waste...!)
12

Owner of Crawl Green

Hm? You're...
13

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
14

Kohane

Listen

Oh...!
You're the owner of Crawl Green!
15

Owner of Crawl Green

I wasn't expecting to run into you here.
16

Kohane

Listen

Yes, me neither.
Umm, it's been a little while.
17

Owner of Crawl Green

Yes, it has.
But more importantly...
18

Owner of Crawl Green

Would you mind telling Shinonome that he put on a very nice performance the other day?
19

Kohane

Listen

...!
20

Owner of Crawl Green

He really lit up the place that day.
It's hard to believe that he'd improved so much after not seeing him for a little while...
21

Owner of Crawl Green

Your team just keeps finding new ways to surprise everyone.
22

Kohane

Listen

Thank you for saying that.
23

Kohane

Listen

But... We've got even bigger surprises in store!
24

Owner of Crawl Green

Oh...?
25

Kohane

Listen

We've made the commitment to surpass RAD WEEKEND, and we're practicing accordingly.
26

Kohane

Listen

So, just wait...
27

Owner of Crawl Green

I see. That's good to hear.
28

Owner of Crawl Green

I'm so glad An chose you to be her partner.
29

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
30

Owner of Crawl Green

I know we're not in any position to be saying this, but we've always seen her as family...
31

Kohane

Listen

As family...?
32

Owner of Crawl Green

When she was struggling to find a suitable partner, I kept hoping that someone good would eventually come along.
33

Owner of Crawl Green

Which is why I'm glad you appeared.
You're strong, honest, an incredible singer and a pillar of support for An as she chases her dream.
34

Owner of Crawl Green

So, Azusawa, thank you for becoming her partner.
35

Kohane

Listen

Oh... U-Umm...
36

Kohane

Listen

(What do I say...?
I wasn't expecting to hear such kind words...)
37

Kohane

Listen

(I wasn't expecting to... But I feel so happy...)
38

Kohane

Listen

I-I'm...
39

Kohane

Listen

I'm also glad that I got to become An's partner.
40

Kohane

Listen

Meeting An led to me having my own dream to pursue. It also allowed me to meet everyone on Vivid Street.
41

Kohane

Listen

So, I really can't thank her enough...
42

Owner of Crawl Green

That's wonderful to hear.
43

Akito

Listen

You and the owner talked about all that?

44

Kohane

Listen

Yeah. Being thanked like that caught me off guard a little, but it also made me really happy.
45

Ken

Listen

To be fair, I understand how he feels.
46

Ken

Listen

Before meeting you, An had to endure quite a lot in her search for a good partner...
47

Akito

Listen

Right. She was so talented that she could show up most other teams all on her own.
48

Kohane

Listen

I see...
Which means she's always been really amazing at what she does.
49

Ken

Listen

However, as a result, she ended up struggling to find a compatible partner...
50

Ken

Listen

She struggled so much that all the locals began helping her look for one. They'd tip her off about any good singers they heard about.
51

Ken

Listen

I can't lie. After a while, it started feeling like we were looking for her future spouse.
52

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. I can see how it'd turn into that.
53

Kohane

Listen

(She searched all over the place for a suitable partner, and she ended up choosing me...)
54

Kohane

Listen

(Plus, all the locals have started saying that they're glad she did.)
55

Kohane

Listen

(So, I need to keep doing my best...)
56

Kohane

Listen

(And show that I'm proud to be An's partner...!)
