Toya

Listen

(A lot happened yesterday, but I'm glad everything went well in the end...)

Toya

Listen

(I need to thank Akito too... Hm?)

Akito

Listen

*Sigh*...

Listen

Haha. Cheer up, Akito!
I mean, you danced up a storm yesterday...!

Akito

Listen

Shut it...

Toya

Listen

You came to visit Akito too, Shiraishi?

Listen

Huh? Yeah, yesterday was a ton of fun and I wanted to talk about it more!

Listen

But Akito hasn't really been in the mood.

Akito

Listen

I'm not used to doing stuff like that, so I'm more tired than usual...

Toya

Listen

But you two were an enormous help yesterday...

Toya

Listen

You went along with what I asked without asking any questions. I promise to pay you back...

Listen

No, you don't have to do that!
How'd it go? Quid pro quo?

Akito

Listen

Yeah.
Wait, I can make you get me pancakes and stuff...

Listen

You greedy little...

Akito

Listen

What's that?

Toya

Listen

Hehe. I see.
Then we can go get some after school.

???

Listen

Hello. Fancy seeing you all here...

Akito

Listen

What the?! When did you get here...?!

Toya

Listen

Kamishiro?
Is something the matter?

Rui

Listen

I came to thank you all for yesterday.

Rui

Listen

Tsukasa was planning to come too, but had to go to a committee meeting. He'll probably be here once it's over.

Toya

Listen

Oh, I spoke to him last night. I'm glad he's feeling much better now.

Akito

Listen

(I have to think that he's easier to deal with when he's forced to mellow out a little like that...)

Rui

Listen

But thanks to you, we were able to put on a wonderful performance. I appreciate your efforts.

Rui

Listen

That show actually even gave me an idea for my next show. I need to thank you for that as well.

Toya

Listen

No, I'm glad that we could help.

Listen

Yeah, it was so much fun too.
Just ask again if you need our help!

Akito

Listen

Count me out...

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I do owe you a favor, don't I, Shinonome? There may even come a time when you need my help. Who knows?

Akito

Listen

I'm only getting bad vibes from that...

Toya

Listen

If you were to help us...

Toya

Listen

It'd be nice to have you help us make our dream come true someday.

Rui

Listen

Your dream? The one about surpassing that event...?

Toya

Listen

Yes.

Rui

Listen

Hehe. Yes, that might be nice...

Rui

Listen

I really only specialize in theatre, but please feel free to ask when you would like me to help.

Rui

Listen

I'll do whatever I can to make your event as spectacular as it can be.

Rui

Listen

So that the people who come to see your show all go home smiling.

Toya

Listen

Yes, we'll be looking forward to it.

Rui

Listen

Now, if you'll excuse me...
Oh, also...

Rui

Listen

I recommend opening the windows in your classroom in just a little bit.

Toya

Listen

Huh? Uh, sure...

Listen

Did you tell Kamishiro about RAD WEEKEND, Toya?

Toya

Listen

Yes, I mentioned it vaguely.
He wished us the best.

Akito

Listen

Cool...

Listen

I only ever talked to him as a hall monitor whenever I had to question him, but he's actually a pretty good guy, huh?

Akito

Listen

Yeah, he isn't as bad as I thought he would be...

Listen

Oh, lunch is almost over.
I'm gonna head back now...

Akito

Listen

Huh?! What the...?!

Listen

Was that an explosion?!

Toya

Listen

What's going on?

Student's Voice

Wait, an explosion...
Is it them again?!

Student's Voice

Look! I think they're flower petals! They're all over the school!

Teacher's Voice

It's them again!!!!
Find Tenma and Kamishiro!!

Akito

Listen

Speak of the devil...?

Listen

Haha. I guess “normal” isn't really their thing, huh...?

Student's Voice

Hey...!

Student's Voice

The petals are coming in through the windows! They're so pretty!

Toya

Listen

Hehe...

Toya

Listen

(Is this what Kamishiro truly loves doing?)

Toya

Listen

(The thing that he's always thinking about and never compromises for... Making others smile...)

Toya

Listen

This gave us an opportunity to look at performing from a different perspective...

Toya

Listen

We have to make the most of this experience and keep getting better.

Listen

Oh, Toya's getting fired up!

Akito

Listen

Yeah, we got everyone going in the end, so I guess it wasn't all bad...

Toya

Listen

I agree.

Toya

Listen

I hope that we'll be able to put on an event that can move people like during that wedding someday...
