Raika's Father's Company - Conference Room

SuzukiSince you've come here, that means you'll be joining our idol group, right?

Miku...Yes, I'm definitely considering it♪

SuzukiThat's great~~! My promotion is no longer just a dream—

SuzukiOh—! *Ahem, ahem!*

Miku(Seriously, why do I have to be pushed around by someone this incompetent?)

Miku(No... no, calm down. The reason I came here is...)

MikuI'm so glad you scouted me, Suzuki-san~

MikuHonestly, I was just caught up in the whole live house thing. It's not like I chose to be.

SuzukiI thought so~! Miku-san, you've got both looks and brains!

SuzukiThere's absolutely no way tomorrow's live will sell out. Switching to our side now is the smart move!

MikuWhat's going to happen to that live house after tomorrow's live ends?

SuzukiOur specialized department is planning to begin formal negotiations!

MikuHehe... So that's how it was.

MikuRaika-chan and the others seemed to be working really hard, though.

SuzukiI feel terrible about it, but business is business!

Miku(...See? Adults are all unfair.)

Miku(But... that's exactly why.)

RaikaI'll carry all the time we spent working hard together and see this through to the very end.

RaikaSo everyone, don't worry, just relax and leave it to me!

ChieriChieri's heading to the station to sell tickets right now!

RaikaI'll go with you! Let's talk to every single person we pass!

YomogiI-I'll try posting more about it on social media and our website...!

ShizukuYomogi, would you show me how as well?

Miku...

MikuSuzuki-san.

MikuHow about making a deal... with me?

Miku—Hello? Sorry I couldn't pick up earlier.

MikuMe? I'm selling tickets near school right now.

Miku(It's true...I really am touching my ear.)

MikuYeah... I see. Everyone's at the station. Yomogi-san is... Yeah, that makes sense.

MikuI'll probably... be a little late getting back. Don't wait up. See you.

Miku...

Day of the Live

YoriGeez, Raika and the other part-timers... Looks like they're planning to come back right before we open the doors.

YomogiUgh... *Sniff*...

YoriIf you're gonna mope around like that, you should have gone to sell tickets too~

YomogiThat's just impossible for me~~... I'm different from everyone else...

YomogiScary things are just scary, and I can't change no matter how much I want to... I'll probably stay weak and feeble for the rest of my life...

Yori*Sigh*...

RaikaI'm back!! Sorry I cut it so close!

ShizukuMiku, Yomogi, sorry I'm late.

ChieriNow, subordinates, get the equipment ready—

YoriMiku's not here yet. But the prep's all done~ Yomogi did it all while crying.

RaikaHuh!? Why are you crying!?

YomogiA good-for-nothing like me can only do this much... I'm sooorry...

RaikaWhat are you talking about? You're amazing, Yomogi! It must've been tough doing all that prep by yourself!

ChieriYou also did the online promotion! You should be prouder of yourself!

YomogiBut it only sold several tickets... And the hand-selling at the station also...

YomogiWe couldn't fill the place! That is all my fault, isn't it...!

YomogiA weak bottom-tier human like me is dragging everyone down, I'm so, so sorry...!!

ChieriS-Still... we can't put all the blame on you, Yomogi.

ChieriChieri is really more capable than this. Chieri should have been able to do so much more...

ShizukuI couldn't fill it either... Even if we do the live today... will we really be able to protect our home...?

RaikaEveryone...

RaikaI didn't want to let you make that face... I'm really sorry...!

RaikaThis is all my fault...! If only I hadn't said that to Suzuki-san...!

MikuYou're sounding pretty unsure of yourselves, huh? I'm actually looking forward to it~

RaikaMiku! Where have you been!?

MikuSame as you. A last-ditch effort... I only managed to sell two more, though.

MikuBut everyone, you look like you've given up even before the live show starts... That's disappointing~

RaikaIt's not their fault!

RaikaIt was me... I promised Suzuki-san we'd fill the place today without asking...!

ChieriRaika...!

RaikaEven though my family bond deepened so much and everyone tried so hard, we still couldn't reach it.

RaikaI didn't realize there were things I just couldn't reach. So... everyone, I'm really—

MikuBefore you apologize, Raika-chan, did you think we couldn't fill this place from the beginning?

RaikaNo, I didn't! I really think we can!

RaikaIt's just... I realized that trying to do it in just one week was too reckless.

RaikaTime was... not enough.

MikuThat's right... If we had three more months, we could definitely fill it, right?

RaikaHuh? Yeah, we can, but... why—

MikuIf that's the case, then there's only one thing to do now, right?

MikuA lot of guests are gonna come see us, way more than the last live show.

MikuDon't you want to show the true strength of our family?

Everyone...!!

RaikaMiku...! That's right!

RaikaWe're still a family finding our feet, but we've got a whole lot of love!

RaikaLet's make it the best live ever, and get the biggest cheers...!

RaikaAnd whatever's still missing, we'll blow it away with our family love!!

ChieriSeriously... Miku and Raika, you're saying whatever you want.

ChieriYou have Chieri on your side!! With Chieri's drums, we don't lack anything!

ShizukuI'll contribute through my performance too. That much, at least, I am confident in.

YomogiUgh~~ Everyone's making up their minds too fast, and it's scary...!!

YomogiIt's scary, but, but...!! I'm gonna give it my all~~~!! Waaaah!!

MikuHehe... Being able to say that much is enough.

RaikaEveryone... thanks!

RaikaAlright, we're fired up!! Now, let's get ready!

RaikaLet's give it everything we've got, my family!!

EveryoneYes!! Okay! Yeah.

Raika...

Suzuki(Huh... The cheers are reaching all the way outside...? In just one week, that can't be...)

RaikaWe're just getting started!! Cherie!!

Chieri(How's that!! Chieri's drum solo is incredible, right!!)

ChieriGo ahead and let out a huge cheer!!

RaikaShizuku, Yomogi! Show them what you've got!!

Shizuku(Well then... let's go, Yomogi.)

Yomogi(Ugh~~ I am so sorry for the trouble~~~~!!)

SuzukiWh-What even is this...!? This is less of a live and more of an improv battle...!?

RaikaCome on, Miku, let's unleash it together! A twin guitar assault that burns the soul!!

Miku(What a lame move...!! This is so embarrassing!)

RaikaLet's keep this energy going all the way to the last song~~~!!

The AudienceWaaaaah!!

Raika—♪

Raika(Ah, this is the sight I've dreamed of so many times...)

Raika(The shining faces of my family, the crowd of guests, and our sounds.)

Raika(I didn't notice it the first time I stood here...! Every time our sounds collide, the heat rises...!)

Raika(This place is way more intense than I imagined... hundreds of times more...!)

Raika(So this is what it feels like to perform a live at our "home"...!!)

Miku...

Raika(This heat will never cool down! I won't let it!)

Raika(I was born to protect this!! So, no matter what it takes, I will...!!)

Raika*Pant*... *Pant*... Thank you very much!

The AudienceWaaaaah!!

After the Live

SuzukiRaika-san, and everyone. Good work at the live show.

RaikaSuzuki-san, good work.

Miku...

YomogiG-G-Good work...!

Raika...Thank you all for coming to our live today.

RaikaPlease, let me say something.

SuzukiWell, I suppose so. I'll listen properly.

RaikaSuzuki-san, I'm really sorry for everything until now...!

Everyone...!?

SuzukiYou bowed your head...!

RaikaSuzuki-san, I was rude to you, and I broke my promise to fill the place. I'm sorry.

RaikaI understand now. It turned out this way because I didn't think things through properly.

RaikaAbout that, you were right, Suzuki-san.

RaikaBut our family is evolving. And our home is still evolving too!

RaikaIf I had just a little more time, I'm sure I could fill it! I know it's a lot to ask, but...

RaikaPlease give me time until summer! Could you give me one more chance!?

RaikaPlease!!

Suzuki...

ChieriChieri won't let Raika be the only one to bow!

ChieriChieri too... Hmph!! Chieri bows too!!

ShizukuFrom me as well... Please.

YomogiWith my cheap head, I'll bow as many times as it takes, so please...!!

Miku...

MikuSuzuki-san... I'm asking you too. Please.

RaikaEveryone...

RaikaSuzuki-san, please...!!

Suzuki...You've changed remarkably since last week. Both in your ability to draw a crowd and in how much you've grown.

Raika!

SuzukiI'll hold off on negotiations for this property until summer. I've seen enough to know there's still room for consideration.

RaikaTh-thank you so much!!

ChieriYes~~~!!!

YomogiWe got another chance... Thank goodness... I'm so, so relieved...!

ShizukuRaika. So we can hold lives here again, right?

RaikaYeah! Let's work hard, so this place can stay our "home" through this summer, and beyond!!

MikuSuzuki-san...

SuzukiI understand. And you, Miku-san, do you understand?

MikuYes. Don't worry.

RaikaMiku~~! Come over here! Cherie says she came up with a plan to fill the place by summer!

ChieriYou're definitely gonna be amazed by how much of a genius Chieri is!

MikuYeah, I'm coming~
