Thank you, Miku.
I feel much better now.

Me too. Thank you for telling me about your battle with An and your recent training.

Still, I can't believe that you haven't been able to notch a single win. They must be really good.

They are... It's been a solid reminder of just how incredible the people who helped make RAD WEEKEND happen were.

Also, the thing is...
During our walk, I thought I should ask...

Miku...
Would you mind practicing with me right now?

Right now...? Here?

Yes, please...
I want to become better and stronger so that we can actually surpass RAD WEEKEND!

Okay, let's practice.

While we're at it, let's play the same freestyling game you've been playing at your training.

...!
Thank you, Miku! I really appreciate it!

(She's got a chip on her shoulder now...)

(I guess her battle with An is the reason why.)

(She seemed to be her usual, cheerful self after it happened...)

(But I guess things aren't that simple.)

(She must be feeling so anxious, stuck and frustrated.)

(After all, she's grown to become a better singer in that neighborhood by experiencing her fair share of victories and defeats...)

(However, she's now trying to use that bitterness to become even stronger.)

(To become an even better musician.)

Huff... Huff...

(That being said, I don't intend to lose...)

Alright, now it's my turn. Ready?

♪——————!!! ——————!!!

Phew.

You really are amazing, Miku...

Your power and technique are always good, but the way you sang just now...

It's like you were trying to overwhelm me with your aura.

I thought a head-on battle would be what you need right now.

Right... Thank you.

Still... I lost again.
I have to find a way to win... To surpass them...

...

Sorry, Miku...
But can we try doing that again?

Kohane...
I understand how you feel, but you shouldn't push yourself so hard.

What?

What matters most to you right now are the events you've been traveling to and your training at COL, right?

So...

Why don't we try singing together next?

Huh? Together?

Yes. All this talk of winning and losing is going to just worsen your burden. So, why don't we just try singing freely?

I'll start us off.
You jump in whenever you feel like it.

Oh... O-Okay!

Alright, let's begin.

♪————!

(I thought that a head-on battle was the right choice just now, but I may've been mistaken...)

(Because I'm not the one Kohane has to surpass.)

♪————!!

(I should help her grow and become able to sing her heart out.)

Miku...

(You don't have to worry about winning against me. Just sing the way your heart tells you.)

(Because that's when you put on your best performances.)

♪————————!

(Now then...)

(I need to do my best to make up for showing off.)

(Kohane and the others are one step away from reaching the level of RAD WEEKEND.)

(And I want to give them the push they need to get there.)

(You can do it, Kohane.)
