Cut it out, you guys!

Shut up!

Stay outta this! Or I'll make you eat dirt!!

Guys, calm down!

Whoa!
They're both so angry...!

Yeah, geez...
It's pretty early to be this riled up.

I don't recognize either of them, and they seem awfully young.

Wait, I remember someone saying how there's a new MC battle event taking place today...

Hey, take back what you just said!

What's wrong with calling you what you are?! An amateur!

Oh no! Th-This looks bad...!

At this rate, they'll be trading punches in no time.

And they look big for their age.
The staff won't have an easy time breaking them up.

I'm gonna go talk to them.

Sure.

Wait, what's she gonna do?!
Aunt Nagi!

Sorry, everyone.
Mind letting me through?

Hm? Isn't that...? Nagi?!

Honestly, fighting in broad daylight.
What exactly happened here?

What's it to you, hag?! Don't interrupt!

Hmm... You'd think rappers would choose better words, no? I mean, “hag” and “interrupt” don't really rhyme.

Huh? You making fun of me, lady?

Uncle Taiga, is she gonna be okay...?!
They're so much bigger than her!

Relax. This is nothing for her.

You've got nothing to do with this, so stay out of our way!

Actually, I have everything to do with this. My prized pupil's trying to sing here, so I'd prefer it if you didn't cause such a big commotion.

From what I can tell, it sounds like you aren't happy with how your battle was judged and decided to choose the worst option by picking a fight. Did I miss anything?

Grr...!

Aha, bullseye.
Hmm... You in the cap. I take it you started it?

Don't blame me!
Blame the judge!

Who in their right mind thinks that I lost to that crappy flow?!

What?!

Settle down.
Or is it too late to get you two to cool off...?

Alright, why don't you have a rematch right here...?

Huh?

Don't give me that look.
Rappers should be ready to throw down whenever, right?

And I'll be the judge this time.
You all want to hear them sing, right?!

So, what do you two say? You're not about to turn tail and run in front of all these people... Are you?

...!

Of course not!
Just who do you think I am?!

You're going down! Again!

Alright, let's get started!
Do you know what you're going to sing?

Y-Yeah...!

Okay, show us what you've got!!

Grr...!
I'm not letting you have this!

Says you!

Haha!
You've both got this!

Nagi, go easy on them.
I mean, the police might not intervene at this time of day, but...

I know! Don't worry!

♪——! ——! ——————!

Hey, that verse was great!
You weren't very eloquent during that fight just now, so it's refreshing to hear that you have a good vocabulary.

This is awesome!
Well, maybe not as awesome as Aunt Nagi♪

Next, my turn! Get ready!

Huff... Huff... Huff...

You both did great!
But I think we have to call it a draw.

However, if you're still not satisfied, would you like to do another round?

A-After a quick breather...!

Then, let us do a battle in the meantime!

Hey, that sounds fun! Let's go!

Aunt Nagi, I wanna do a battle too!

Okay, how about we do one?

Really?! Yay!

After causing such a big stir too... But I guess kids will be kids. Anyway, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

Hm? Isn't that...?

And the winner is... Taiga!

Uncle Taiga was so awesome! And super cool!

You ended up joining in on the fun after saying that you'd just sit back and watch things unfold.

My plan was to spice things up a little, but maybe I went a bit overboard.

That old dude's way too good at rapping! What's going on here?!

Same with the people from the crowd that jumped in partway through...! Even that little kid was totally off the hook!

Just where exactly do you think you are right now? This is Vivid Street. Rapping and singing are how we greet each other around here.

But if you've learned your lesson, quit fighting like knuckleheads and get good.

Exactly.
You can win as long as you get the crowd going!

I mean, you're both doing this because you love it, right?

W-Well...

Yeah... We are...

(They stopped another fight...?
Honestly, don't they ever get tired of doing that? Still...)

Hey, can we go again?!
I think I can do better this time!

Okay!
Let's do another one together!

Yeah!
I'll start!

♪——! ————!

(I guess it isn't all bad since An looks like she's having fun.)

Hey, Nagi, Taiga!

Hi, Daddy!

Oh, you're finally here.
You came so late that you missed our little event.

Sorry about that.
But you decided to put on an event before our actual one?

What's wrong with that?!
It's not like we get to hear RADder rap every day!

Wait, RADder...? You guys are RADder...?!

W-We're so sorry...!!
We had no idea who we'd been talking to...!!

Don't apologize to us. You should be telling that to everyone from the live house and all the other participants.

Oh, right...
Yes, we'll do that...

Again, we're sorry for causing so much trouble...

Yeah, it is important to assert yourself sometimes, but it's just as important to keep a cool head.

Still, all jokes aside, you two weren't bad, and you're taking things seriously enough to fight about it.

So, we'll be looking forward to seeing how you both do moving forward!

Th-Thank you...!

Hehe.
I'm really glad they stopped fighting!

Me too.
Also, An, your rapping has improved a lot. Practicing every day is really starting to pay off.

I know, right?!
Hold on. More importantly...!

Daddy, where were you?!
You said you'd watch me practice, but it's already noon!

Yeah, sorry about that...
Things sort of just dragged on.

But I promise to watch you practice tomorrow morning. It's Sunday, so I should be able to stay with you until noon.

Wait, really?

Yeah. And to make up for what happened, you can sit in the VIP section during today's event.

Whoa! Are you sure?!

Yes, there's going to be an opening it seems and the manager personally requested you fill that seat.

Woohoo!!
Thank you so much, Daddy!

You're welcome. Anyway, let's get going.
