Toya

Listen

Any luck on your side, Akito?
2

Akito

Listen

No, I don't see it anywhere.
3

Len

Listen

<How could it have disappeared...? What do we do...?>
4

Toya

Listen

Our valuables may be safe, but not having your dancing shoes is going to be much more problematic.
5

Akito

Listen

We don't have time for this. Let's stop and head back to the stage. I'm just gonna have to do the whole thing in what I'm wearing now.

Toya

Listen

But...

<Oh, it's starting.
This is the opening song, right?>
8

Akito

Listen

Yeah...
We gotta go.
9

Toya

Listen

Akito...
10

Shota

Hey, Akito, Toya.
We need you to stand by and get ready!
11

Akito

Listen

Yeah, got it.
12

Toya

Listen

...
13

Len

Listen

<But where on earth could've Akito's shoes gone...?>
14

Akito

Listen

I said forget about it.
We can't find them, so there's nothing we can do.
15

Akito

Listen

(That did startle me a little, but the show's started, and just need to stay cool for now...)

16

Akito

Listen

Huh? Someone's calling me?
Oh, it's Ena...
17

Akito

Listen

What is it? I'm a little busy right now. Can't it wait...?
18

Ena

Listen

<Akito, did you happen to lose track of where your shoes went? You know, the really flashy ones that you bought the other day?>
19

Akito

Listen

How did you...?
20

Ena

Listen

<I'm at the festival's HQ tent right now and just happened to spot your shoes here.>
21

Ena

Listen

<I'm not really sure how it happened, but I think one of the committee staff brought them over here by accident. That's why I called you.>
22

Akito

Listen

Ena, can you bring them to me right now? We're up pretty soon!
23

Ena

Listen

<You are? Where are you?>
24

Akito

Listen

The outdoor stage for the festival!
25

Ena

Listen

<The outdoor stage... Oh, okay.
I'll be there soon!>
26

Akito

Listen

Thanks!
27

Ena

Listen

Here you go!
I'm still surprised about what happened. Good thing these are so easy to spot.

Akito

Listen

You're a lifesaver!
Thanks a bunch, Ena.
29

Ena

Listen

Don't mention it. Oh, but you owe me some cheesecake later. The most expensive one from that place on Miyamasuzaka will do nicely!
30

Akito

Listen

Yeah, got it.
31

Mizuki

Listen

Li'l Bro, Toya! You're in this event?
I'm really looking forward to it!
32

Ena

Listen

Good luck to you too, Toya!
33

Toya

Listen

Thank you.
34

Akito

Listen

Sorry for making you have to deal with this too, Akiyama.
35

Mizuki

Listen

Dude, relax. I'm just glad you actually managed to get them back in time!
36

Ena

Listen

And since you did get them back, I'm expecting to see something good, okay?
37

Akito

Listen

Well, duh.
Do you know just how much we practiced?
38

Ena

Listen

Yeah, I know. You've been coming home completely wiped after all that practice, right?
39

Akito

Listen

So you did know...
40

Ena

Listen

Of course I know, stupid. We live together, don't we?
41

Ena

Listen

But I never thought that you'd be performing on this stage. You seem a lot better than you did back then too.
42

Akito

Listen

Back then...?
Wait, you still remember...?

Junior High School Ena

Listen

Hey, Akito...
Why don't you try doing something like that...?
44

Shota

Akito! Toya! You're almost up!
45

Akito

Listen

Okay, got it!
46

Ena

Listen

Then Mizuki and I are gonna head back. We'll be watching so don't screw up, alright?
47

Mizuki

Listen

You've got this, you two!

Akito

Let's go.

<I'll be cheering for you too!
Go knock their socks off!>
51

Yeah, let's do this!

Kanade, Mafuyu, we're back!

Mafuyu

Listen

Welcome back.
The pros haven't started yet, it seems.
54

Kanade

Listen

Mizuki, did you find your keychain?
55

Mizuki

Listen

Yup, thanks to Ena.
56

Kanade

Listen

Okay, that's good.
I was starting to get worried since you two were gone for so long.
57

Ena

Listen

Sorry about that.
Something else came up and well...
58

Kanade

Listen

Something else?
59

Ena

Listen

Never mind, forget I said that.
60

Mizuki

Listen

Hey, guess what? I just found this out, but Ena's Li'l Bro's performing in the amateur division too.
61

Mafuyu

Listen

Ena's brother?
62

Ena

Listen

Yeah. This is actually the first time I've seen him sing on stage for real.
63

MC

Alright, next up is the BAD DOGS!
64

Mizuki

Listen

Look, it's them!

This is so cool!
They're awesome dancers too!
70

Ena

Listen

He said that they only usually sing, but they wanted to add in a dance routine just for this event.
71

Mizuki

Listen

Really?
Then it's a good thing we found his shoes, huh?
72

Ena

Listen

Yeah, I'm glad we did.
73

Akito

Listen

(We've got a good vibe going...)
74

Akito

Listen

(It's not what we usually do, but we're singing and dancing pretty well so far.)
75

Akito

Listen

(All that practice is really paying off.)
76

Akito

Listen

(And next is my solo.
Toya's solo is right after that, so I need to give him a good lead-in...)

These guys are off the hook!!

Audience

Yeah, they usually only sing, but it's amazing to see them dance like this too!
82

Mizuki

Listen

Wow... That was awesome!!
83

Mafuyu

Listen

Everything's so loud and obnoxious, but I don't entirely dislike this music...
84

Kanade

Listen

They danced really well too.
It's how they can do that and sing as much as they did at the same time.
85

Ena

Listen

(That was good, Akito...)

We did it, Akito.
The whole place went wild.

Akito

Listen

Yeah, the last part went like we planned too.
90

Toya

Listen

I'm glad we got these shoes too. They made each step feel so much lighter than normal.
91

Toya

Listen

Thank goodness you got them back...
92

Akito

Listen

Yeah!
I didn't know what I was gonna do back there...

Akito
