Kohane

Listen

Okay, An, that's it for the tree!
2

An

Listen

Yeah, nice work!
We don't have that many ornaments, and it's not that big of a tree, so putting them up is usually a quick process.
3

Kohane

Listen

But it's so pretty and cute!
It gives the shop a nice feel.
4

An

Listen

Thanks! My mom picked everything out for us. She'll probably be super happy when she hears that you like it so much, Kohane!
5

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. You think so...?
And it looks like the lights all turned on with no problems!
6

An

Listen

Thank goodness!
Alright, lemme go tell my dad.
7

An

Listen

Thanks for helping out, Kohane!
8

Kohane

Listen

You're welcome! So, after this...

Kohane

Listen

Luka! What brings you here?
13

Luka

Listen

<It's almost Christmas, no?>
14

Luka

Listen

<I was just discussing with the others in SEKAI how we can transform MEIKO's cafe.>
15

Luka

Listen

<So, I decided to come and see how you all decorate things during the season.>
16

An

Listen

I see. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if we can help since we don't usually do much for our place.
17

Luka

Listen

<Nonsense. That adorable little tree will make a wonderful example!>
18

Luka

Listen

<Still, you're right...
We want to decorate a little more than this... I wish there were more here that I could use as reference...>
19

Kohane

Listen

Then, would you like to have a look outside?
20

Luka

Listen

<Oh, are you sure?>
21

Kohane

Listen

Yes. Main Street has all these really cute shops, so those might help...
22

An's Father

Listen

Hey, An.
23

An

Listen

Uh oh... Kohane, hide that!
24

Kohane

Listen

O-Okay!

25

An's Father

Listen

What's wrong? You seem tense.
26

An

Listen

N-Nothing's wrong!
Wait, actually. We finished decorating the tree!
27

An's Father

Listen

Oh, that's good to hear.
Then, can you start putting the outside decorations up?
28

An

Listen

Fine. I guess I am better at this than you. Also, our customers really like it when I do.
29

An's Father

Listen

I just don't have an eye for it.
Also, Kohane, thank you for helping out.
30

Kohane

Listen

N-No, it was my pleasure. You've already done so much for me.
31

An's Father

Listen

Still, I feel bad about having you help out...
32

An's Father

Listen

I know. Why don't you two sing?
33

An

Listen

Wait, really?!
34

An's Father

Listen

Yeah, since I just replaced all the equipment. You're probably going to like it a lot more compared to before.
35

Kohane

Listen

Wow, thank you very much...!
36

Kohane

Listen

Oh, but today...
37

An

Listen

Alright, let's sing for a little bit.
38

An's Father

Listen

Then, you two rest while I get everything set up.
39

An

Listen

Thanks, Dad!

40

An

Listen

Sorry, Luka...
We were hoping to show you some shops with decorations that you can use for reference...
41

Luka

Listen

<No, don't mind me!
I'm in no hurry whatsoever.>
42

Luka

Listen

<I know. Why don't I try visiting Akito and Toya while you two sing?>
43

An

Listen

Oh, Toya said that he and his family are going to be throwing their Christmas party today.
44

Luka

Listen

<Oh, a party! That sounds lovely!>
45

Luka

Listen

<I might just have to go over and take a peek at what it's like.>
46

Luka

Listen

<Thank you for the tip, An, Kohane!>
47

An

Listen

Have... Oh, she's already gone.
48

Kohane

Listen

Did she leave to give us some time alone?
49

An

Listen

Haha. Maybe!
50

An

Listen

At the same time, I've been wanting to sing ever since our after party...
51

An

Listen

I mean, Crawl Green...
It's where my dad and his team performed for the very first time. How can I not be excited?
52

Kohane

Listen

I see...
53

Kohane

Listen

Everyone's been saying just that, so it must be an amazing venue. It'd be great if I... If I could perform there with you guys...
54

An

Listen

There's no way we're leaving you out, Kohane! Well, to be fair, we still haven't booked the place...
55

An

Listen

For now, let's just sing our hearts out!

Toya

It should be around noon in Germany right now.
60

Toya's Mother

Yes, your brothers are probably getting ready for their concert.
61

Toya's Father

Listen

It's very rare for both of them to be performing in the same concert.
62

Toya's Father

Listen

By the way, Toya, how have you been lately...?
63

Toya

Listen

We've begun hosting our own events recently, and we got to sing the song I wrote for the first time at one the other day.

64

Toya's Father

Listen

Oh? You wrote a song?
65

Toya's Father

Listen

That explains why you've seemed so busy and have been coming home so late recently...
66

Toya

Listen

Yes, and our event ended up being very successful.
67

Toya

Listen

But above all else...
Seeing my friends all smile filled me with quite a bit of joy.
68

Toya's Father

Listen

Why do you seem so satisfied...?
69

Toya

Listen

Huh...?
70

Toya's Father

Listen

Of course those closest to you will be happy with what you create. There wouldn't be much point in writing a song if you couldn't do at least that.
71

Toya

Listen

Right...
72

Toya

Listen

But it was a big step for me...
I have a hard time calling my song pointless.
73

Toya's Father

Listen

I see...

74

Toya's Father

Listen

Thank you. That was very good.
I'll be returning to my room now.
75

Toya's Mother

Okay, you're welcome.
76

Toya

Listen

I'm done as well.
I'll help you with the dishes.

You will? Thank you, Toya.

<Hello, Toya! I let myself in♪>
82

Toya

Listen

Luka...?
83

Toya

Listen

I see. You want to decorate MEIKO's cafe.
84

Toya

Listen

Our parties are usually fairly quiet, and we don't put up decorations, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to help...
85

Luka

Listen

<I see...
Oh, but you must've had some delicious food. Mind telling me what you ate?>
86

Toya

Listen

We had roast chicken and rice gratin with fish. We also had some salad and pumpkin soup. My mom always puts a lot of effort into what we eat each year for this.
87

Luka

Listen

<Oh, those all sound delicious!
I'll make sure to tell MEIKO... Thank you for sharing, Toya!>
88

Toya

Listen

You're welcome, but I wish I could help you more in terms of decorations...
89

Toya

Listen

Actually, you may want to pay Akito a visit...
90

Toya

Listen

He usually goes out for runs at this time, so you may be able to catch some outdoor illuminations.
91

Luka

Listen

<Oh, really?!
Then, I'll do just that.>
92

Luka

Listen

<But it's so late in the day to be training. I suppose we shouldn't expect any less from hard-working Akito.>
93

Toya

Listen

Yes, I agree.
94

Toya

Listen

He's been like that since before I even met him.
95

Luka

Listen

<I see...>
96

Luka

Listen

<Then, I think I'll go watch Akito train for a bit. And maybe see some illuminations for myself♪>

Kotaro

Listen

Whew... Hehe...
Lucky for me, I was able to place a reservation for that limited-edition transformation belt.

I was worried that they'd run out after everyone started talking about it online... I hope he likes it...

I was reserving my little brother's Christmas present. He's been wanting it for so long now...

Kotaro

Wait, you're all sweaty...
You haven't been training this whole time, have you?!

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I have. I don't want to waste a second...

You never change, huh?
But we just had an after party. Can't you just take today off?

Akito

Listen

No way.
If anything, I should be doing more if I actually want to surpass RAD WEEKEND.
121

Akito

Listen

And perform at Crawl Green...
122

Akito

Listen

If we really are gonna do an event there, we have to put on the best show we possibly can.
123

Akito

Listen

Which means I need to build my stamina, and do everything else in my power.
124

Kotaro

Listen

Oh...
125

Kotaro

Listen

Right...
We actually might get a chance to play where RADder made their debut...

Kotaro

Listen

Hey, Akito...
Can I join you?!
127

Akito

Listen

Join me...?
128

Kotaro

Listen

Yeah, because you're right! If we're gonna perform there, I've gotta do more too!

All good. This is usually when I take a break, so here, have some water. It's still unopened.

Kotaro

Geez, that's unbelievable...

Kotaro

Listen

Then again, as far as I can remember, you've always had that sort of personality...
139

Akito

Listen

How far back are you going...?
To be fair, I didn't expect to be part of your life for this long.
140

Kotaro

Listen

Haha. Yeah.
141

Kotaro

Listen

When you decided to team up with Toya, I felt a sense of relief...
142

Kotaro

Listen

Because before you did, you tried to do everything yourself. I thought you'd be able to settle down a bit...
143

Akito

Listen

By myself...? Yeah, I guess so...
You're probably one of the only people who really know what I was like back then.
