Summary
"Ren learns about Nayuta's illness and Kenta asks him to take Nayuta out in order to brighten his mood."

Location: Hospital

Ren: Nayuta-kun...is he okay!? Can he still sing!?

Kenta: There's no need to panic. It's already settled down. He has the doctor's permission so he'll still be able to perform at Fes.

Ren: ...I see...I'm glad to hear that.

Kenta: Fufu, you sound like me.

Ren: Even so, if Nayuta-kun was unable to sing one day...

Kenta: You wouldn't have a rival anymore...right?

Ren: No, it's not that...! ...I'd be really upset if Nayuta-kun couldn't sing anymore.

Kenta: ...Well, we aren't scheduling any lives soon so that he'll be able to give his body a little rest.

Kenta: He's been in a grump ever since I gave him that news earlier.

Ren: ...I kind of understand how Nayuta-kun feels.

Kenta: Hm?

Ren: In the past there was a time when I pushed myself too hard at practice and was told I had to stop singing for a while.

Ren: It was only for 2 days but...since I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to sing, it felt like a long time...

Kenta: Good grief, it seems all vocalists are the same.

Ren: Um...sorry...

Kenta: Fufu...by the way, Nanahoshi-kun are you free tomorrow?

Ren: Tomorrow? Hmm...I can't think of anything I had planned.

Kenta: I see, that's great to hear.

Ren: ...?

Kenta: Would you mind taking Nayuta out? He needs something to lighten his mood. If I take my eyes off him I'm sure he'll sneak off somewhere to go and sing.

Ren: ...Eh? Ehhhhhhhh!?

Location: Argonavis Share House

Banri: ーSo you're saying you're gonna hang out with Nayuta tomorrow?

Ren: Y-Yeah...

Wataru: Sorry, Ren...my brother can be pushy.

Ren: It's fine. I wanted to talk to Nayuta-kun so I'm okay with it butー

(Ren explains his situation)

Rio: You don't know where to take him, huh?

Ren: I've didn't have any friends in the past so I don't know about these kinds of things...What should I do with Nayuta-kun?

Yuto: Why not go try out karaoke? It's some common ground for vocalists.

Wataru: Isn't this meant to be so Asahi can take a break? That idea makes no sense.

Banri: Why not try something that'll get you up and movin'? Something like bowling or a batting center.

Rio: Didn't Nanahoshi harm his leg? Even if it's just a minor injury, it's wiser to avoid exercise.

Wataru: Then how about a movie?

Ren: Nayuta-kun would leave half way...

Yuto: Is there really no options...?

Rio: ...Back when I played baseball, I found myself having to take a break a number of times due to injuries.

Banri: What would you do back then?

Rio: I'd do activities such as listening to music and playing piano.

Yuto: So you'd spend some time doing your hobbies.

Wataru: But...what does Asahi care about other than music?

Rio: No matter how much we think about it, we won't able to come up with something.

Rio: So Nanahoshi, why don't you take Asahi somewhere that makes you feel happy?

Ren: Somewhere that makes me happy... ah, oh! I know a place!!

Ren: I'm sure Nayuta will have a fantastic...no, a tokutastic time!! [1]

Yuto: Y'know...I have a bad feeling about this.

Banri: Me too...

[1] Ren makes a pun here. He basically says the word 夢中 (to say Nayuta will become obsessed) and then changes it to 夢宙 (from 超夢宙閃隊) which has the same pronunciation to hint at his Star Five related intentions.
