Kohane

Listen

Oh! Good morning, everyone!

Listen

Morning, Kohane!

Toya

Listen

Good morning. You're here early.

Kohane

Listen

Hm? We agreed to meet at eleven, right? But we're all here thirty minutes early...

Listen

I know why!
We were all looking forward to today so much that we couldn't help but wake up early! Even Akito!

Akito

Listen

Hey, we're not little kids and this isn't some field trip.

Toya

Listen

Actually, she might not be far off.

Akito

Listen

Quiet, you...
The point is that I never thought I'd get to see this place again.

Kohane

Listen

Hehe.

Kohane

Listen

(They must've really been looking forward to this day if they're this openly anxious about it.)

Kohane

Listen

(I can't wait either...)

Kohane

Listen

(I'm finally getting a chance to see a part of the reason why An and Shinonome want to surpass RAD WEEKEND as much as they do...!)

Taiga

Listen

Hey, you guys are early.
We weren't supposed to meet for a while, you know?

Kohane

Listen

Hello, Taiga!

Listen

Of course we're here early!
Two of us at least never thought we'd ever get to see COL again!

Toya

Listen

Thank you for creating this incredible opportunity for us today.

Toya

Listen

We definitely wouldn't have been able to do anything like this on our own.

Taiga

Listen

Heh. I'm glad you're happy, but this is about all I can show you guys at this point...

Taiga

Listen

The owner's waiting for us there, so let's start making our way over.

Kohane

Listen

Okay!

Taiga

Listen

Here it is.
The basement for this building's COL.

Listen

Whoa, talk about a blast from the past... I totally remember lining up here to get in, and how the line spilled out onto the street...

Akito

Listen

Yeah, and three years have passed since...

Taiga

Listen

From the outside, it looks like any of the other dives you can find around here.

???

Just what exactly are you calling a dive...?

Taiga

Listen

Hey, Granny.
See? As happy and healthy as ever, right?

Owner

I'm the owner of this place, not your “Granny”. Thirty years and you still refuse to learn any manners...

Kohane

Listen

Is this person really the owner, An...?

Listen

Yeah, it's her. She used to own and operate a bunch of live houses around here.

Listen

Dad and Uncle Taiga have known her since they were our age.

Kohane

Listen

I had no idea...!
That's so cool.

Listen

I know, right?
Anyway, long time no see!

Owner

Hm? Oh, if it isn't An.
It's nice to see that the girl with a chip on her shoulder's grown up so much.

Listen

Heehee!
It's nice to see you too!

Owner

Ah, you must be the one who's been aching to see my dive.

Kohane

Listen

Y-Yes, hello...!
My name is Kohane Azusawa. I'm on the same team as An!

Kohane

Listen

W-We heard that you closed this place a long time ago, so thank you for being so kind as to show us around like this...!

Owner

I don't mind.
I've been coming here from time to time to keep it clean.

Listen

Wait, really?

Owner

Well, I'm going to have to hand this place over to someone at some point... Not only that...

Owner

I'm sure actually being here will help you remember that night better.

Taiga

Listen

...

Toya

Listen

That night... Is she referring to RAD WEEKEND?

Akito

Listen

Probably.
Especially since this is where RAD WEEKEND happened.

Akito

Listen

It was probably the event she was looking for to cap off the history of this place.

Kohane

Listen

(So RAD WEEKEND meant a lot to the owner of this venue as well...)

Owner

Alright, let's head inside.

Kohane

Listen

Okay!

Kohane

Listen

(It's really where RAD WEEKEND happened...
I have to absorb as much as I can...!)

COL

Kohane

Listen

I-It's so dark...!

Toya

Listen

Our eyes haven't adjusted yet since it's so bright out today.

Akito

Listen

Just don't slip and fall, alright?

Listen

He's right.
We need to watch where we walk.

Owner

Give me a second to turn on the floodlights.

Owner

Ah, here we go...

Kohane

Listen

Wow...!

Toya

Listen

So this is where RAD WEEKEND happened...

Listen

It's so much smaller than I remember.

Akito

Listen

Probably because we were kids.
I'm guessing we were both a lot shorter back then.

Listen

Haha. That means we've grown up a lot since.

Listen

Still, the stage is literally right in front of us...

Kohane

Listen

(An and Shinonome seem completely awestruck...)

Kohane

Listen

(This is really it...)

Len

Listen

<Whoa!
This is really the venue for RAD WEEKEND?!>

Kohane

Listen

Eep...!
L-Len?!

Taiga

Listen

Hm? What's up?

Kohane

Listen

Um... N-Nothing!

Miku

Listen

<Len, you need to be quiet.>

Len

Listen

<O-Oh, right...!>

Sound Effect: Play

Listen

Kohane? Is something... Ah...

Miku

Listen

<Hehe. We're here.
Sorry, we just couldn't wait.>

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Akito

Listen

Hey, they'll see you if you keep jumping out like that. Wait until we give you the signal.

Len

Listen

<Hehe. Okay, I'm sorry...
I'll be careful from now on.>

Miku

Listen

Toya

Listen

I suppose you'll stay out of sight as long as you stay in Azusawa's pocket.

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, I'll try to position myself so that you both can get a good look.

Len

Listen

<Great!
Thanks, Kohane!>
