Weekend Garage
Kohane
Hehe...
I'll need to do my best again today.
I'll need to do my best again today.
Akito
Hm? Oh, Kohane, you're here pretty early.
Kohane
Hi, Shinonome! I didn't realize you were already here.
Akito
Yeah, I was just having a quick practice with Ken.
Akito
By the way... You seem to be in an oddly good mood.
Kohane
Huh? Y-You think so?
Ken
Yes, it certainly seems that way at first glance. Did something good happen?
Kohane
Y-Yes...
I ran into the owner of Crawl Green just now and...
I ran into the owner of Crawl Green just now and...
Several dozen minutes earlier
Scramble Crossing
Kohane
(I left early in order to get in some practice this morning, but I got here a lot earlier than I was expecting...)
Kohane
(I know I shouldn't impose, but I'll see if I can use Weekend Garage...)
Kohane
(Shinonome and Aoyagi both did their parts, so I want to make sure their efforts don't go to waste...!)
Owner of Crawl Green
Hm? You're...
Kohane
Huh?
Kohane
Oh...!
You're the owner of Crawl Green!
You're the owner of Crawl Green!
Owner of Crawl Green
I wasn't expecting to run into you here.
Kohane
Yes, me neither.
Umm, it's been a little while.
Umm, it's been a little while.
Owner of Crawl Green
Yes, it has.
But more importantly...
But more importantly...
Owner of Crawl Green
Would you mind telling Shinonome that he put on a very nice performance the other day?
Kohane
...!
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...

Owner of Crawl Green
Your team just keeps finding new ways to surprise everyone.
Kohane
Thank you for saying that.
Kohane
But... We've got even bigger surprises in store!
Owner of Crawl Green
Oh...?
Kohane
We've made the commitment to surpass RAD WEEKEND, and we're practicing accordingly.
Kohane
So, just wait...
Owner of Crawl Green
I see. That's good to hear.
Owner of Crawl Green
I'm so glad An chose you to be her partner.
Kohane
Huh?
Owner of Crawl Green
I know we're not in any position to be saying this, but we've always seen her as family...
Kohane
As family...?
Owner of Crawl Green
When she was struggling to find a suitable partner, I kept hoping that someone good would eventually come along.
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.

Owner of Crawl Green
So, Azusawa, thank you for becoming her partner.
Kohane
Oh... U-Umm...
Kohane
(What do I say...?
I wasn't expecting to hear such kind words...)
I wasn't expecting to hear such kind words...)
Kohane
(I wasn't expecting to... But I feel so happy...)
Kohane
I-I'm...
Kohane
I'm also glad that I got to become An's partner.
Kohane
Meeting An led to me having my own dream to pursue. It also allowed me to meet everyone on Vivid Street.
Kohane
So, I really can't thank her enough...
Owner of Crawl Green
That's wonderful to hear.
Akito
You and the owner talked about all that?
Kohane
Yeah. Being thanked like that caught me off guard a little, but it also made me really happy.
Ken
To be fair, I understand how he feels.
Ken
Before meeting you, An had to endure quite a lot in her search for a good partner...
Akito
Right. She was so talented that she could show up most other teams all on her own.
Kohane
I see...
Which means she's always been really amazing at what she does.
Which means she's always been really amazing at what she does.
Ken
However, as a result, she ended up struggling to find a compatible partner...
Ken
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.
Ken
I can't lie. After a while, it started feeling like we were looking for her future spouse.
Kohane
Hehe. I can see how it'd turn into that.
Kohane
(She searched all over the place for a suitable partner, and she ended up choosing me...)
Kohane
(Plus, all the locals have started saying that they're glad she did.)
Kohane
(So, I need to keep doing my best...)
Kohane
(And show that I'm proud to be An's partner...!)
