Kohane

Listen

Thank you for sharing so much with us, An, Haruka.
2

Haruka

Listen

I mean, you're welcome, but you're happy with just that...?
3
We really didn't tell you two that much, you know?
4

Minori

Listen

For you, sure, but I got to learn more about a part of Haruka that I never knew about, so I'm really glad you told us all this!
5

Minori

Listen

I'm filled with a mix of joy knowing more about little Haruka and sadness for not being able to witness her back then!
6

Haruka

Listen

H-Hold on, sadness?
7
Haha. You're hilarious, Minori!

8
Oh, sorry, that's my phone...
I think it's my dad calling.
9

Haruka

Listen

I'd like to use the restroom while you do that. Sorry, I'll be right back.
10

Minori

Listen

Okay, we'll be here!

Kohane

Listen

They've really been friends forever, huh...?
12

Minori

Listen

Yeah, they really have!
13

Kohane

Listen

Haha...
14

Kohane

Listen

(I'm happy about learning so much about An's past, but that feeling from before is still lingering...)
15

Kohane

Listen

...
16

Minori

Listen

That was so much fun.
Haruka being so competitive and taking singing so seriously back then explains so much...!
17

Minori

Listen

But...
18

Minori

Listen

But I'm so jealous...!
19

Kohane

Listen

Huh...?
20

Minori

Listen

I'm jealous of not being her childhood friend, but also jealous of how they look so good together! It's unfair how well they mirror each other...!

Kohane

Listen

Oh...
22

Kohane

Listen

(Is that what I've been feeling...?)
23

Kohane

Listen

(Seeing Haruka and An in this light...
Learning about how they see everything eye-to-eye...)
24

Kohane

Listen

Am I jealous...?
25

Minori

Listen

Kohane?
26

Kohane

Listen

Oh, sorry...
I... I think I feel the same way.
27

Minori

Listen

Wait, you too?!
28

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, because An's always there to help me. I think a part of me wishes that I could challenge her the way Haruka does...
29

Kohane

Listen

I feel like I should be doing that as her partner, and supporting her in every way I can...
30

Minori

Listen

*Sob*
I know... I know exactly how you feel!
31

Minori

Listen

I wish I could help Haruka more, I wish I could work as hard as her and I wish I looked as good standing next to her as An does!
32

Kohane

Listen

Minori...
33

Minori

Listen

Let's keep doing our best!
34

Minori

Listen

We may not be able to overcome the bond they've developed...
35

Minori

Listen

But that doesn't change how I feel about Haruka! It just makes me want to try even harder! More and more!
36

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, you're right...
I need to try harder to make sure An sees me as a partner she can be proud of!

37
Ugh, Dad, why?
Making me pick stuff up on my way home...
38

Haruka

Listen

Oh, An, how was your call...?
39
Whoa, Haruka, hey! Same old, same old, you know?
40
Anyway, Minori's so cute!
Did you see the way her eyes sparkled while hearing about you from back then?
41

Haruka

Listen

She has a habit of doing that, but I do appreciate the way she shows just how much she cares about me when we're together.
42
You probably mean everything to her...
43

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. Oh, stop...
44

Haruka

Listen

But Kohane seemed just as interested in you, An.
45
I'm still not really sure what she'll get from hearing about my past.
46

Haruka

Listen

Regardless, she seemed keen to find out.
47

Haruka

Listen

I'd like to learn more about Minori too. What she was like before we met or the things she used to do when she was little.
48
Yeah, totally!
I think I'll ask Kohane the same.
49

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. I'd like to know too.
We could conceivably sneak that conversation in today if we have time.
50
Alright, we'll just have to play that by ear!
51

Haruka

Listen

Okay!
52

Haruka

Listen

Thanks for waiting, you two.
53
About our next stop...
54

Minori

Listen

Right. We should start making our way towards PXL!
55
Huh? Wait, it's already that late?
56

Haruka

Listen

We were there for a while.
57

Haruka

Listen

Sorry, I lost track of time back there. Let's see...
58

Minori

Listen

Don't worry, Haruka!
We have a PXL Master right here!
59

Haruka

Listen

PXL Master?
60

Kohane

Listen

“Master” might be a bit too far, but you can leave everything PXL-related to me...!
61

Kohane

Listen

I promise to make sure you all get to have fun and enjoy yourselves!
62

Minori

Listen

Me too! I'll be your personal escort, Haruka!
63

Haruka

Listen

Th-Thanks.
64
They seem pretty fired up...
65

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, they really must've been looking forward to this.
Next Chapter: Off to PXL!
