Kenta: Hm?
(This is Ryo’s bass but…he’s not here.)
(Oh well, I’ll just put it away. I’ll give Ryo a talking to later…)
…
(It’s…been a while since I last touched a bass…)
(Just a little can't hurt…)
(Kenta plays the bass)
Kenta: …
Ryo: Kenken?
Kenta: …Oh, Ryo, you’re back. Sorry for playing your bass without permission.
Ryo: No, it’s fine.
I was just surprised. It’s been a loooong time since I heard you play the bass.
Kenta: It has been. I’ve barely touched it since switching to the guitar.
Ryo: What’s it like playing it after so long? Do you think you’ll return to the bass?
Oh…
Kenta: What’s wrong?
Ryo: If Kenken becomes a bassist again, will I be kicked out?
Kenta: Hey, don’t say silly things.
You’re the one worthy of being Gyroaxia’s bassist.
I switched to the guitar to help elevate Gyroaxia even higher.
I did what I thought was right. I don’t hold any sentimental feelings.
Ryo: Really? In that case, do I make the cut as our bassist?
Kenta: Of course. Have you forgotten who brought you here?
Ryo: It was Kenken.
Kenta: That’s right. There’s no better bassist than you.
Ryo: Really? Then I’ll try even harder than before.
Kenta: I’m counting on you.
If it came down to it, I’d give up my position to a guitarist with even greater skills than mine.
If it means that Nayuta has a stage that he can flourish on, I don’t mind who plays.
You have nothing to worry about, Ryo. Just let your talents shine without restraint.
Ryo: Kenken is my friend, so I’ll follow what he says.
Kenta: I’m glad you understand.
…I forgot to say this but make sure you put your instrument away when you’re done with it.
Ryo: Sureee thing.
(Ryo leaves)
Kenta: …That reply seemed lackluster. I hope he actually understands…
