Owner of COL
They getting another early start today?
5
Record Shop Owner
Oh, hi!
Out for your morning walk?
6
Owner of COL
Yeah, but I also wanted to take a look around to see what's going on.
7
Attractive Lady
Hehe. I know what you mean...
It really is a beautiful sight.
8
Young People
Guys, bad news...!
All the spots are taken!
9
Young People
Seriously...?!
Hey, you can't hog all the space like this!
10
Children
You should get here earlier instead of acting so salty! You gotta do at least that if you're actually serious about surpassing RAD BLAST!
11
Young People
What?!
There's no way a bunch of kids like you are gonna surpass it! Let's practice over there, fellas!
12
Owner of COL
They really turned this place on its head, huh...?
Weekend Garage
13
Ken
Back to the airport already?
You could stay a little while longer.
14
Taiga
Unlike a certain someone who's shut down his business, I'm extremely busy.
15
Ken
Hey, cut me some slack.
We used to be partners, remember?
16
Taiga
Am I wrong?
Also... I need to get back and start improving on my game.
17
Taiga
I was supposed to be the one who saw what was waiting beyond her dream, but now I have more rivals to deal with.
18
Ken
...
Is that so?
19
Taiga
Anyway... Thanks, Ken.
20
Taiga
I'm not holding back against them next time.
21
Ken
Haha. You're always so eager to fight.
22
Ken
We should team back up again.
23
Taiga
Huh...?
24
Ken
They're going to carry Nagi's dream forward now. Also...
25
Ken
The kids who saw them have already begun the next chase.
26
Ken
I've finished my task of raising the next generation, which means I can become an artist again. So...
27
Ken
How about it, Taiga?
28
Taiga
What about your business?
You're never going to hear the end of it from your wife if you abandon it, right?
29
Ken
I've already talked to her about that. She said to not come back until I'm standing on top of the world.
30
Ken
Also, unlike you, I'm responsible with my money. RADder fortunately did well enough that An should be fine until she becomes an adult.
31
Ken
My wife agreed to opening up shop again and having someone trustworthy run things while I'm gone.
32
Ken
As for An, she just smiled and said, “I guess this means we're rivals now, Dad.”
33
Taiga
Geez, do you know how lucky you are to have a wife and daughter that understanding?
34
Taiga
You can still sing, right?
35
Ken
Do you think I'd be asking if I thought I'd be holding you back?
36
Taiga
Despite knowing that there's a long gap on your resume... You're on.
37
Ken
Haha. I'm glad I won you over.
38
Taiga
Anyway, welcome back. Partner.
39
Ken
What should we call ourselves?
Do you want to pick our team name this time...?
40
Taiga
Sure, then...
How about something like GODS? That'd make us sound pretty strong.
41
Ken
Wow, you still have the worst taste...
42
Taiga
Huh?
If you don't like it, then come up with a better name.
43
Ken
I will.
We'll be called...
Cemetery
44
An
There.
All that's left is to clean up the incense ashes...
45
An
How's that, Aunt Nagi? Sparkling clean, right?
46
Kohane
We've finished cleaning this side too, An!
47
An
Thanks!
Alright, that should be everything!
48
Akito
To be fair, it was already pretty clean.
49
Toya
It was.
And there were so many offerings.
50
Kohane
Hehe. Yeah.
51
Kohane
I'm guessing a lot of other people have come by to pay their respects to Nagi.
52
An
...
*Nod*
53
Kotaro
Hey, I fetched us some more water!
54
Arata
Apologies for the wait.
The spigot was further away than we thought.
55
Soma
I'm also really sorry!
I'm still not used to moving around in a wheelchair.
56
An
No, that's okay!
We actually just finished cleaning!
57
An
Anyway, now let's pay our respects.
58
An
And lemme introduce you all to her!
59
Kohane
Okay!
60
An
Look how far we've made it, Aunt Nagi.
61
An
And now we're gonna go see what lies beyond your dream.
62
An
We're gonna go to all the places and see all the sights you didn't get to.
63
Kohane
Thank you very much, Nagi.
64
Kohane
We wouldn't have been able to come this far without you. So...
65
Kohane
You can leave your dream to us now.
66
Akito
We're going to stand on top of the world. We're going to take on your biggest wish.
67
Toya
So, I hope you'll keep watching over us.
68
An
Okay!
That should be enough!
69
Kotaro
Hm? Are you sure?
I thought you'd want to tell her more, like how hard your training was and stuff.
70
An
She doesn't need to know about any of that! I wanna look cool in front of her!
71
An
Plus, my goal for today was to introduce all of you guys to her!
72
Arata
Right...
And we're definitely glad we came.
73
Kotaro
Yeah, me too.
74
Kohane
Oh, before I forget...
75
Tatsuya
Hm? What's up?
76
Kohane
What are you all going to do now?
77
Kotaro
That's right...!
I never said!
78
Kotaro
I want more people to hear me rap, so I'm thinking about uploading some videos online.
79
Akito
Really...?!
I had no idea.
80
Kotaro
I mean, I don't have any money, so I'll have to work somewhere around here in the meantime.
81
Kotaro
I've already set up my channel, so you guys need to subscribe to it!
82
Tatsuya
Haha. I'll do the next chance I get.
83
Toya
What are your plans, EVER?
84
Tatsuya
We're signing with a major label.
85
An
A major label?
86
Tatsuya
Yeah.
We got an offer a little while back.
87
Tatsuya
We thought about sticking to the street, but we want to take this opportunity to spread this neighborhood's music around the world...
88
EVER Member A
Because it's the best music in the world!
89
EVER Member B
I mean, it's a shame that more people don't know about it already.
90
An
Wow, a major label...!
We'll definitely be looking forward to your big debut!
91
Akito
So, Tono, what are you gonna do...?
92
Arata
Soma and I will be reforming our team.
93
Akito
I had a feeling.
94
Soma
That's right!
We're getting our team back together. I'm gonna make the tracks and Arata's gonna sing them.
95
Toya
I'm glad to hear that.
Congratulations, both of you.
96
Arata
Thank you.
97
Arata
Signing with a label is an option, but so is staying independent or even going overseas to train. We still have some decisions to make...
98
Arata
As for the dream Nagi entrusted us with, we'll be chasing it too.
99
Arata
You aren't the only ones who want to conquer the world. So do we, which means we'll be rivals from here on out.
100
Akito
Is that so?
Then, we'll be looking forward to meeting you again.
101
Arata
Yes, so will we.
102
Arata
Anyway, what are your plans, Vivid BAD SQUAD?
103
An
You already know the answer to that question.
104
An
To stand on top of the world!
105
An
We're gonna see what lies beyond Aunt Nagi's dream!
106
Akito
Yeah.
107
Toya
She entrusted her dream to us...
But we also want to go see the world beyond it.
108
Kotaro
To stand on top of the world, huh...?
I have no idea how you guys are actually gonna do that...
109
Tatsuya
But I have a feeling that you'll succeed.
I mean, you've got the singing skills to do it.
110
Kohane
(Us standing on top of the world...)
111
Kohane
(Mita has a point...
I have no idea how we're actually going to do that...)
112
Kohane
(But I'm not worried.
I'm sure we'll figure out a way.)
113
Kohane
(I mean...)
114
Kohane
(I mean...)
115
Kohane
(We've been able to overcome all the obstacles that have stood in our way.)
116
Kohane
(And...)
117
Kohane
(Standing on top of the world...)
118
Kohane
(Just thinking about what that view's going to look like fills me with so much excitement!)
119
Kohane
An! Shinonome! Aoyagi!
120
Akito
Hm?
121
Toya
Yes, Azusawa?
122
Kohane
I want to see what it's like from up there as soon as possible!
123
An
You said it, partner!
That's what I like to hear!
124
An
So, let's start heading towards our next goal!
125
Akito, Kohane & Toya
Okay!
Yeah!
Yes!
126
Kohane
(Hehe...)
127
Kohane
(I can't wait to see what we get to see next!)
128
???
...
129
???
Nagi could definitely trust those guys with her dream.
130
???
Yeah...
It was a good event.
131
???
Vivid BAD SQUAD, huh...?
