Miku

Listen

<...and Kohane ended up singing with those girls?>
2

An

Listen

Yeah! It was super awesome. The crowd went totally wild.
3

Miku

Listen

<I see. I would've liked to see that.>
4

Toya

Listen

They said that they sing there from time to time, so we may encounter them again if we're lucky.
5

Kohane

Listen

We'll make sure to let you know when that happens, Miku. They really are amazing singers.
6

Miku

Listen

<Hehe. I'm looking forward to it already.>
7

Akito

Listen

Oh, I think I see it.
8

Akito

Listen

That must be the venue for the flea market.

Kohane

Listen

Wow, this is amazing...
Look at all the shops...!
10

Akito

Listen

Secondhand clothing, tableware, antique objects, paintings... They've really got it all.
11

Toya

Listen

It's quite the selection. Where should we begin?
12

An

Listen

Hmm... I wanna check out that shop's trinkets and stuff, but I'm also interested in the clothes over there!
13

An

Listen

Oh, but I also see some really nice accessories over there... I-I can't decide...!
14

Toya

Listen

It seems we may be here quite a while.
15

Akito

Listen

Yeah... I'm getting kinda hungry, so I'm gonna go buy a hot dog. Make up your mind before I get back, okay?
16

An

Listen

Okay.
17

Miku

Listen

<Oh, a real hot dog stand? I'd like to see what that's like.>
18

Akito

Listen

Then, let's go together.
You want one, Toya?
19

Toya

Listen

Yes, please.
20

Akito

Listen

Alright, I'll get two.

Umm... “Two hot dogs, please.”
22

Vendor

Listen

“$4.95 for one, and $9.90 for two!”
23

Akito

Listen

$9.90, got it. Where's my wallet...

Is everything okay, Akito?!

Yeah... Sorry, Miku.
I dropped my phone...

<Forget about me! Right now...>

Miku

Listen

<You need to get your wallet back!>
33

Akito

Listen

What?
34

Miku

Listen

<That boy just ran off with your wallet!>
35

Akito

Listen

Huh...?
36

An

Listen

What?! Your wallet got stolen?!
37

Akito

Listen

Seriously?! Which way did he go?!
38

Toya

Listen

Akito, wait! He may be carrying a weapon. It's too dangerous to chase after him without a plan!
39

Boy

Listen

“Tourists are so easy!
And there's plenty of people here, so I should be able to get away...”

???

Listen

“Hey, we saw that!”

“That wallet doesn't belong to you, now does it?”

Kohane

Listen

What's going on over there?
43

An

Listen

Did someone catch him for us?!
We gotta go see!

The twins we met that time...?!

“Sh-Shut up!”

48

Kohane

Listen

Oh, there he goes...
49

Toya

Listen

I'm glad they were able to get your wallet back safely. But...
50

Slade

Listen

Long time no see, you guys!
Here's your wallet, Akito!

51

Akito

Listen

Th-Thanks... I appreciate it.
52

Akito

Listen

More importantly, what are you guys doing here?!
53

Slade

Listen

We came to do some shopping.
This area's more or less where we're based.
54

Cedric

Listen

We just happened to spot you guys.
55

Cedric

Listen

But just as we were coming to talk to you, that kid came by and took your wallet. So, we decided to catch him.
56

An

Listen

I see...
57

Akito

Listen

Again, I really appreciate it...
But to think that we'd meet again like this.
58

Slade

Listen

Haha. I know, right?!
But it really is nice to see you guys again.
59

Slade

Listen

Just a guess, but... Does this mean you guys are here to see SONIC NOTES?
60

An

Listen

Huh? How did you know?
61

Cedric

Listen

Taiga's performing, after all.
Also, there was no way you'd miss such a big event.
62

Cedric

Listen

Not if you're aiming to be world-class.
63

Akito

Listen

You guys said that when we met you in Japan. You're serious about standing on top of the world too, huh.
64

An

Listen

Also, you two said that you knew Aunt Nagi.
65

An

Listen

How is it that you guys knew her?
66

Slade

Listen

Oh, right...
We were in such a rush that we didn't get a chance to explain.
67

Slade

Listen

I know! We should go to a cafe or something and have us a nice, long chat! How does that sound?
68

Cedric

Listen

Wait, don't just assume that they're free.
You can see they're in the middle of sightseeing.
69

An

Listen

We're totally fine to join you guys!
We don't have any plans until SONIC NOTES starts, so I'd sure love to ask you two some questions.
70

Slade

Listen

Then, we can talk at this one cafe we go to all the time. The coffee there's really amazing!
71

Toya

Listen

Amazing coffee?
That sounds very nice.
72

Cedric

Listen

Then, we'll lead the way.
Follow us, you guys.
73

Kohane

Listen

Okay, we're right behind you!
