The others said that I didn't have to come if I became too pressed for time, but...)

Hmm... You produce such a clean sound, Toya. It's actually a bit of a shame that you're trying to keep everything short and sweet.
Toya
Which means...
Sorry, Akito, but I'll need you to give me some extra time for that part.

That's okay.
We knew that there was a chance you wouldn't be able to make it today, Azusawa.

Kohane
We went around taking photos of people in this city. But I didn't really understand what that had to do with singing...

Akito
Alright, now that we're all here, let's call practice here and start discussing our next event.
Toya
Yes, it'll be better to have this discussion sooner rather than later since it's going to affect how we practice moving forward.
Tatsuya
Right.
The people who go to the venue are a tough crowd, so I don't want to take any chances.

Arata
Plus, it's pretty rare of the owner to allow someone else to rent out the place and put on an event there. I have to think that expectations are going to be very high.

Kotaro
Makes sense...
Also, Azusawa, you already have some experience performing solo, right?

Kohane
Y-Yes, I do. Right after we formed our team, I performed a little here and there to gain more experience...
Akito
But the events you were in back then weren't all that big... This time, I mean... We're talking about Crawl Green here...

Akito
Based on where Kohane is right now, she should be able to handle flying solo. However, she's gonna need to practice for it.
Akito
Also, I think it's worth a shot since you might strike it rich again like you did during STAY GOLDEN. After all, you getting better means we get better as a team.
Arata
If Kohane believes she has what it takes to reach even greater heights... Then, I'd like to give her a chance.
An
So, if it's okay with you guys, I'd like to let Kohane do this. I mean, we still have plenty of time before the event.
Toya
Yes, I agree. Let's move forward with that in mind. At minimum, Azusawa definitely has what it takes to succeed here.
Tatsuya
I don't mind either and I agree with Shinonome. I have a feeling that Azusawa is going to transform again like she did during the last STAY GOLDEN.
A few days later

(It's going to be my job to get the crowd going from scratch. I need to really burst out of the gates sprinting...)
Kohane
(And this may be Taiga's last chance to see me perform. At Crawl Green of all places too... I can't let this opportunity go to waste...!)
An
Yeah... Outside of team practices, she's apparently been singing on Vivid Street, at Nonogi Park and other places.
An
Just the day before, she lost track of time and stayed out super late, and her dad got really mad at her.
Kotaro
*Sigh*
I've been practicing with you guys for a while now, but I still can't believe sometimes how much stamina you all have.

Toya
The way you sang just now... I thought I should mention that I feel like you're straining to sing louder.
An
Hmm... You guys thought so too?
I dunno how to describe it, but it's like you're having trouble finding your highest gear.

An
Oh, this might be because we're so used to hearing her sing and know what she sounds like when she's at her best...
Kohane
I was doing my best to not let it affect my singing, but I guess I can't hide it anymore...
Kohane
I think I'm starting to feel the pressure of having to set the pace for the entire event...
Toya
True. You've accrued plenty of experience up to this point, Azusawa. I believe you'll do just fine if you practice like we normally do.
Kohane
You've both been performing by yourselves for a long time, so I'd like it if you could tell me anything that bothers you!

Kohane
Oh no! Tono, Mita, I'm so sorry...!
I didn't mean to make you practice with me for so long...

You still have a couple of rough patches to work through, but I think you'll be fine in time for our event as long as you keep practicing.
An
(I really want to help Kohane somehow since she's been working her butt off every day...)
Arata
Oh, An, about our meeting tomorrow...
An emergency came up, so I won't be able to make it.

Kohane
Yeah, I don't have any animal caretaker committee duties to do tomorrow, so I was planning on going home early to practice somewhere...
Toya
I have library committee business to take care of tomorrow... But I may be able to leave early if I tell them what's going on.
An
It'll be an opportunity to actually see what it's like, and it should be a nice breath of fresh air for Kohane. Two birds with one stone.
Toya
Me too.
I've been curious as to what the place where Ken and his team debuted is like.

Yeah, sounds good. I also kinda want to go since that message has been bothering me.
An
No problem!
Then, we'll meet at my place after school and head over to Crawl Green together!
