After Part-time Work

Shizuku
Raika. The cleanup's done... Is the lighting okay?
Raika
Oh, thanks~! I'll take care of the lighting, so don't worry!
Raika
Shizuku and others, would you go back first?
Shizuku
No... it's nothing. I'll be waiting at the dorm.
Raika
Yeah, see you later!
Raika
It's covered in scratches everywhere...
It's really shabby, isn't it...
Raika
Oh, this mark on the wall...
That's my height from the day I started elementary school...!
Raika
And there are so many stickers that I put up without asking.
This one, that one... and that one over there too.
Raika
(When I was little, I was always told never to go up on stage.
Because I'd fall, it's dangerous, or something like that.)
Raika
(When I wouldn't listen, saying "I'll be fine! I'm tough!"
Granny said this to me.)
Raika
("When the day comes that you play in a band with your own family,
you can step up here.")
Raika's Grandmother
I'm back, "Nest!!"
Raika
(One day, I want to stand there with my family, too.)
Raika
(I've always been waiting for that day to come, just waiting and waiting.)
Raika
I'm back, "Nest!"
And to everyone seeing us for the first time, nice to meet you!
Raika
Let's go, my family!
Raika
(Because you all came, my dream came true.)
Raika
That was fun...!
Raika
And we got these huge cheers at our last live!
Raika
Three months later,
we'll fill the place up and make a huge ruckus with even more guests.
Raika
One day, we'll put together a setlist of nothing but Miku's original songs,
and do our first solo live at "home" too...!
Raika
We'll go on a nationwide tour and travel together,
then come back here and do a "We're home!" live...!!
Raika
There were so many things
I wanted to make happen here with everyone.
Raika
(We're a family of five.)
Raika
(Unless all five of us are happy,
we can't call it a peaceful family.)
Raika
(Happiness that's built on someone's sacrifice...
That shouldn't exist.)

Raika
Oh. Hello, Granny?
Raika's Grandmother
"Raika~~! You eating well~!?"
Grandmother's Band Member A
"Huh, Raika's calling!? Heeey~~~!!
We've got a live here today~~!!"
Grandmother's Band Member C
"You miss us Grannies being around, don't you~!"
Raika
Ahaha, you're loud!
Good to see everyone's doing well~
Raika's Grandmother
"Well, we're the same as ever.
Raika... About family—"
Raika
Remember back when it rained so hard we couldn't go camping,
so we just camped inside "Nest" instead?
Raika
Remember? I had you set up a tent on the floor!
Raika's Grandmother
"Huh? Oh yeah...
That's because Raika, you were crying your eyes out, saying you absolutely had to go."
Raika's Grandmother
"Yeah. No matter what we did, you just wouldn't stop crying."
Raika's Grandmother
"You said 'I am definitely sleeping in a tent today!'
So we rushed out and bought one without any pegs, you remember?"
Raika
Now I remember...!
I know it's late, but thank you so much...!
Raika's Grandmother
"Ahaha, it's fine.
Because I got to see your cute smile, Raika."
Raika
And after the daytime live, we played cards in the dressing room too!
Things like President and Sevens!
Raika
The floor-mopping competition was fun too~!
And when I doodled on the PA console, I got yelled at big time.
Raika
But all of it was so much fun!
Raika's Grandmother
"Raika... So you have decided."
Raika
Yeah. I will give "Nest" to Suzuki-san
and bring Miku back.
Raika
"Nest" is our home... It's our treasure.
I never even thought of letting it go. But...

Raika
To protect this home, one of my family
is carrying all the pain alone...!
Raika
That is not peace.
Because no one would be happy...

Raika
I... I want to choose the happiness for everyone in my family...!!
Raika's Grandmother
"To be able to say that...
You've really found a good family, Raika."
Raika's Grandmother
"As a former family founder... and as your grandparent, Raika,
I'll support whatever you decide with all my strength."
Raika
Thank you, Granny...!
Raika's Grandmother
"Yeah.
I'll handle the live house thing between the adults."
Raika
Huh? I'll see it through to the end!
Because "Nest" had been passed down to me!
Raika's Grandmother
"I've let you do things your own way all this time...
You've worked hard enough."
Raika's Grandmother
"Raika, you focus on your own family.
There's still something unresolved, right?"
Raika
Okay.
Well then, Granny. I'm counting on you!
Raika's Grandmother
"Okay, leave it to me!
Oh~ I'm actually looking forward to going back to Japan after so long!"
Raika
Oh, so you're coming back to talk to Suzuki-san!
When are you getting back!? You're gonna see my family, right!?
Raika's Grandmother
"Yeah. I'll finish up what I need to do and come back...
Probably five days later~"
Raika
...Five days from now...
Wait, Miku's internal live showcase is...

Chieri
The best idea to bring Miku back?
Raika
Yeah! Once Miku's idol debut is confirmed,
we won't be able to bring her back.
Raika
So before that happens, we're taking Miku back!
Let's all crash that company showcase!!
Chieri
Alright, Chieri will lead the charge!
Yomogi
Even if, hypothetically, we somehow manage to get Miku-san back,
then what are we gonna do with Suzuki-san!?
Shizuku
Yeah. This time, we might actually
lose the live house.
Raika
Yeah. So I'm going to hand the live house over to Suzuki-san.
Chieri
There's no way that's okay!
We've all been fighting together to protect "Nest"!
Raika
Yeah, you're right.
So... I'm hugging you all at once!!
Chieri
Why did you hug me suddenly again...!!
Shizuku
Raika... what is this...?
Raika
A feeling of gratitude!!
Raika
Thank you so much for working hard
with me all this way!!
Chieri
*Sigh*... If you were gonna say it with words anyway,
you could've just done that from the beginning.
Raika
A hug isn't even enough to express it!
I've received that much huge love from all of you.
Raika
That's why I'd rather have my family than the home.
Let's become a peaceful family, all five of us!
Chieri
Very well.
If you're prepared to go that far...
Chieri
Chieri will acknowledge you, Raika, as my rival!
Chieri
That means you are on the same level as Chieri!
And if we're equals, we can cooperate temporarily!
Chieri
Because we share the same goal—to get Miku back!
Yomogi
This is so intense~~~!!
It's that classic "rival" thing!
Yomogi
This is exactly the same as volume 20 of "Saga of the Steel-spirit Bancho: Onishigure"!
Rivals joining forces to achieve a common goal!!
Raika
So that means you're going to help me!?
Cherie, thank you!
Yomogi
Wow~ This is really way too intense...!!
I feel like... I can try a little harder together too...!!
Raika
Everyone...!
Alright, let's all work together to bring Miku back!!
Yomogi
Oh... But when you say "bring Miku back,"
what exactly are we going to do?
Raika
About that,
actually I have an idea...

Shizuku
That's everyone's share. For now.
Raika
Let all five of us have a proper meal together tonight.
Yomogi
This... Are we supposed to eat all of it...?
I'm so nervous that my heart and stomach are starting to ache...
Chieri
You have to eat it all!
Or you won't get fired up!
Raika
Alright... everyone's here.
Raika
Then let's put our hands together...
everyone
Let's eat~!!
Raika
*Munch*... *Munch*...!
Yomogi
Haa... Alright...!
*Slurp*...
Yomogi
...!
Thank you so much...!
Raika
*Chew*... *Chew*...
everyone
Thanks for the meal!!
Raika
Let's go, my family!!
Let's bring Miku back!!
