♪————!!

Whoa! This power...!

Yeah! They can't stand up to Arata on their own, but when they're together...!

♪————!

♪——!　——!

(How are we doing this...?)

(I froze up and didn't know what to do after I heard him sing...)

♪————!

♪————!

(Oh...)

(I honestly believe that I can surpass RAD WEEKEND as long as I'm with them...)

♪————————...!

...!

I see...
Now I understand.

*Huff*... *Huff*... *Huff*...!

We're Vivid BAD SQUAD, everyone!
We'll be counting on your support!

The crowd went wild...

Are you finally starting to get it?

Huh?

I don't care if you want to try stuff on your own, but we're surpassing RAD WEEKEND as a team, okay?

This isn't just your dream.

You guys...

I'm sorry.
I was being an idiot...

MC, can we hold off on deciding a winner for now...?

Huh?

I'm suggesting that we call a draw just for today. That'll make things more interesting for next time and draw an even bigger crowd, no?

H-Hey, don't just take the mic...!

So, there you have it! We're calling it a draw! Thank you for the great performance, Vivid BAD SQUAD!

What?! How can you end things like this?!

But it did get pretty good in the end. A draw might be the right call here.

Haha. I see what you did there!

I don't think we've met!
You're Arata, right?

I'm An from Vivid BAD SQUAD!
This is my partner, Kohane!

N-Nice to meet you...!

Yes, it's nice to finally meet you.
You must be Ken's daughter.
And Kohane, was it...?

I promise not to forget.
That was a good performance.

Yeah, you did great too!
Things got pretty exciting there, huh?

You made this event a big success.
Let's do it again sometime.

I'll see you at the next event...

Wait...

Hm? Yes?

I'll admit defeat.
You win today.

I at least need to make that much clear for myself.

Hmm...

But I'm not about to stop.
Just wait, I'm gonna keep getting better.

And I'll be looking forward to seeing that...

See you later, Shinonome.

(He has a good team...)

(If only they were here too...)

No, now's not the time for that...

That Arata guy's really good!
He can sing and he seemed so nice!

What are you talking about...?
He's gonna be our rival from now on.

Relax, I know!

Y-You guys...!

Hm? You're here too?

I was here the whole time! Also, I'm the one that told you guys about this event!

But you four really are something else!
You looked a lot better when you were with them too, Akito!

Yeah...

Thanks for bringing them here.

Alright, how about we get back on the right track!

If we're gonna have a hope of surpassing RAD WEEKEND, we've gotta do it together!

Yeah!

I agree.

Mind if I add just one thing...?

Hm? Yes, Akito?

I convinced myself that in order for us to surpass RAD WEEKEND, I needed to become as good as I possibly could.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't realize what I was doing...

I still believe that I need to get better for us to make our dream come true.

But from now on, I'll try relying on you guys more...

Good...!

Now, practices are gonna get even harder, so I hope you're all ready.

You know we are!
Don't worry about us!

Y-Yeah!
Let's keep trying our best, Shinonome!

Yes.
We can do this, together.

Yeah...

Alright, you guys. Let's go!
